< Genesis 50 >
1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
Nake Jusufu agĩkĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya ithe, akĩmũrĩrĩra na akĩmũmumunya.
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩatha athondekani arĩa maarĩ ndungata ciake mathondeke mwĩrĩ wa ithe Isiraeli nĩguo ndũkabuthe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athondekani makĩmũthondeka,
3 Forty days were required for it, for that is how many the days it takes for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him for seventy days.
handũ ha ihinda rĩa thikũ mĩrongo ĩna, tondũ rĩu nĩrĩo ihinda rĩrĩa rĩabatarainie rĩa kũũthondeka. Nao andũ a Misiri makĩmũcakaĩra matukũ mĩrongo mũgwanja.
4 When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Namo matukũ ma kũmũcakaĩra maathira-rĩ, Jusufu akĩĩra kĩama kĩa Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ manyu-rĩ, njarĩrĩriai kũrĩ Firaũni. Mwĩrei atĩrĩ,
5 'My father made me take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return again.'"
‘Baba nĩatũmire ndĩĩhĩte na mwĩhĩtwa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkua; na ndakua ũgaathika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa niĩ mwene ndeyenjeire bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.” Rĩu rekei nyambate thiĩ ngathike baba; na nĩngũcooka hũndũke.’”
6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."
Nake Firaũni akĩmũtũmanĩra, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũthiĩ ũgathike thoguo, o ta ũrĩa aatũmire wĩhĩte.”
7 So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩambata agĩthiĩ gũthika ithe. Nao anene othe a Firaũni magĩthiĩ nake, andũ a gĩtĩĩo othe a kĩama kĩa Firaũni o na andũ arĩa atĩĩku a Misiri othe,
8 all the household of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's household. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
o hamwe na andũ othe a nyũmba ya Jusufu, na ariũ a ithe, na arĩa othe maarĩ a nyũmba ya ithe. No ciana ciki na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe ciatigĩtwo Gosheni.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.
Thigari cia ngaari cia ita na cia mbarathi o na cio igĩthiĩ nake. Kĩarĩ gĩkundi kĩnene mũno kĩa andũ.
10 Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.
Nao maakinya ihuhĩro-inĩ rĩa ngano rĩa Atadi, hakuhĩ na Jorodani, makĩrĩra manĩrĩire marĩ na ruo; na hau Jusufu agĩcakaĩra ithe matukũ mũgwanja.
11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.
Na rĩrĩa Akaanani arĩa maatũũraga kũu moonire macakaya macio hau ihuhĩro-inĩ rĩa ngano rĩa Atadi, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Misiri marĩ na igongona rĩa macakaya ma kĩeha.” Na nĩkĩo handũ hau hakuhĩ na Jorodani heetagwo Abeli-Miziraimu.
12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ariũ a Jakubu magĩĩka o ũrĩa aamaathĩte:
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.
Makĩmũkuua makĩmũtwara bũrũri wa Kaanani, na makĩmũthika ngurunga-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ kĩa Makipela, hakuhĩ na Mamure, ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũranĩirie na gĩthaka kĩu kĩrĩ handũ ha gũthikanwo kuuma kũrĩ Efironi ũrĩa Mũhiti.
14 Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.
Thuutha wa gũthika ithe-rĩ, Jusufu agĩcooka Misiri hamwe na ariũ a ithe na arĩa othe maathiĩte nake gũthika ithe.
15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."
Na rĩrĩa ariũ a ithe moonire atĩ ithe wao nĩakua, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩ angĩkorwo Jusufu nĩatũũire atũiguagĩra ũũru, na atũrĩhie maũru marĩa mothe twamwĩkire?”
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtũmana kũrĩ Jusufu makiuga atĩrĩ, “Thoguo atanakua nĩatigire oiga atĩrĩ:
17 Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
‘Ũũ nĩguo mũkeera Jusufu: ndagũthaitha ũrekere ariũ a thoguo mehia na mahĩtia marĩa meekire nĩ ũndũ nĩmagwĩkire ũũru mũno.’ Na rĩu twagũthaitha wohere ndungata cia Ngai wa thoguo mehia macio.” Na rĩrĩa ndũmĩrĩri yao yamũkinyĩire, Jusufu akĩrĩra.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."
Ariũ a ithe magĩcooka magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we, makĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere yake, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ ngombo ciaku.”
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
No Jusufu akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra. Kaĩ niĩ akĩrĩ niĩ Ngai?
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.
Inyuĩ mwaciirĩte kũnjĩka ũũru, no Ngai aanjiirĩire ũndũ mwega nĩguo akinyanĩrie ũrĩa kũrekĩka rĩu, ũhoro wa kũhonokia mĩoyo ya andũ aingĩ.
21 So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtigetigĩre. Nĩndĩĩmũheaga irio cianyu na cia ciana cianyu.” Nake akĩmomĩrĩria na akĩmarĩria wega.
22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
Jusufu agĩikara Misiri, hamwe na andũ othe a nyũmba ya ithe. Aatũũrire muoyo mĩaka igana rĩmwe na ikũmi,
23 Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.
na akĩona rũciaro rwa gatatũ rwa ciana cia Efiraimu. O na ciana cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase ciaciarwo nĩciaigĩrĩirwo maru-inĩ ma Jusufu.
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
Ningĩ Jusufu akĩĩra ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkua. No rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ Ngai nĩagooka kũmũrora amũteithie na amũrute kuuma bũrũri ũyũ, amũtware bũrũri ũrĩa erĩire Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu na mwĩhĩtwa.”
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."
Nake Jusufu agĩtũma ariũ a Isiraeli mehĩte na mwĩhĩtwa, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Ngai nĩagooka kũmũteithia, na hĩndĩ ĩyo yakinya no nginya mũgaakuua mahĩndĩ makwa kuuma kũndũ gũkũ.”
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu agĩkua, arĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka igana rĩmwe na ikũmi. Thuutha wa kũmũthondeka ndakabuthe, makĩmũiga ithandũkũ-inĩ rĩa gũthikwo narĩo o kũu Misiri.
