< Genesis 50 >

1 Then Joseph hugged his father's face, and wept over him, and kissed him.
Nihotrak’ an-daharan-drae’eo t’Iosefe le nangoihoy ama’e vaho nañorok’ aze.
2 Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
Linili’ Iosefe o mpanaha mpitoro’eo hañoloñe an-drae’e. Le hinolonkolo’ o mpanahao t’Israele;
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.
efa-polo andro ty nirì’ iereo ama’e, amy te izay o andro mahafonitse ty fañolonkoloñan-jañahareo. Nandala fitom-polo andro ho aze o nte-Mitsraimeo.
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,
Ie niheneke o androm-pandalàñe azeo le hoe ty lañona’ Iosefe amo añ’anjomba’ i Paròo, Aa naho nahatendreke isoke am-pahaisaha’areo iraho le saontsio an-dravembia’ i Parò ty hoe:
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.'"
Nampifantàn-draeko ahy ty hoe: Ingo fa hikenkan-draho. Le aleveño an-kibory hinaliko ho am-batako an-tane Kanàne ao. Aa le angao iraho hionjom-b’eo handeveñe an-draeko vaho himpoly.
6 And Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, in keeping with your oath."
Hoe ty natoi’ i Parò, Mionjona, aleveño ty rae’o amy nampifantà’e azoy.
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,
Aa le nionjoñe t’Iosefe handeveñe an-drae’e. Fonga nindre ama’e ze mpitoro’ i Parò naho o roandria añ’ anjomba’e ao naho o roandria’ ty tane Mitsraime iabio,
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 Gesen.
naho ty añ’anjomba’ Iosefe iaby, o rahalahi’eo vaho ty añ’ anjomban-drae’e. Fe napok’ an-tane Gosena ao o ana’iareoo naho o mpirai-trokeo naho o lia-raikeo.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.
Nindre-lia ama’e o sarete reketse mpindaio. Nivalobohòke jabajaba.
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.
Ie nivo­trak’ an-toem-pamofoha’ i Atade, alafe’ Iordaney, le nanao fandalàñe jabajaba nampioremeñe; fito andro ty nandalà’e an-drae’e.
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.
Ie niisa’ o nte-Kanàne mpimoneñe amy taneio i fandalàñe an-tanem-pamofoha’ i Atadey le hoe iereo. Fandalàñe mam­pioje o anoe’ o nte-Mitsraimeo. Aa le natao Abele Mitsraime i tane andafe’ Iordaney zay,
12 So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,
naho nihenefe’ o ana-dahi’eo i nafè’ey:
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.
Nitakone’ iereo mb’ an-tane Kanàne mb’eo vaho naleve’ iareo an-dakato an-tete’ i Makpelà ao, i vinili’ i Avrahame rekets’ i tonday marine i Mamrè amy Efrone nte-Khete ho tanen-dona’ey.
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.
Ie nande­veñe an-drae’e t’Iosefe le nimpoly mb’e Mitsraime añe rekets’ o rahalahi’eo naho i maro nindre nionjoñe ama’e mb’eo nandeveñe an-drae’ey.
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."
Aa ie nioni’ o rahalahi’ Iosefeo te nivilasy ty rae’ iareo le hoe ty fitsakorea’ iareo: Hera mitan-kabò aman-tika t’Iosefe hañondroha’e aman-tikañe ze fonga raty nanoan-tika?
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying,
Aa le nañitrik’ am’Iosefe iereo nanao ty hoe, Hoe ty nafèn-drae’o aolo’ t’ie nihomake,
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.
Zao ty ho enta’ areo am’ Iosefe: Ehe apoho ty tahiñe nanoa’ o rahalahi’oo naho i hakeo nanoe’ iereo nijoy azoy. Aa ie henaneo, ehe apoho ty hakeo’ o mpitoron’ Añaharen-drae’oo. Naharovetse t’Iosefe i enta’ iareo ama’ey.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."
Nimb’eo amy zao o rahalahi’eo, nibabok’ añ’atrefa’eo, nanao ty hoe, Intoan-jahay fa ondevo’o.
19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
Aa hoe t’Iosefe am’ iereo, Ko hembañe, mpisolo an’ Andrianañahare v’o ahoo?
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.
Inahareo ka, toe nikinia raty amako fe sinafirin’ Añahare ho soa, hiboaha’ o oniñe henaneo, hampitambeloma’e ondaty mitozantoza.
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.
Aa le ko mahimahiñe, fa ho fahanako nahareo naho o keleia’ areoo. Amy hoe zay ty nampanin­tsiña’e, ie nisaontsy añ’arofo’ iareo ao.
22 So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
Nimoneñe e Mitsraime ao t’Iosefe, ie naho ty hasavereñan-drae’e; vaho niveloñe zato-tsi-folo taoñe.
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.
Niisa’ Iosefe o ana’ i Efraimeo pak’ ami’ty tariratse faha telo; nibeizeñe añ’ ongo’ Iosefe ka o ana’ i Makire, ana’ i Menasèo.
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."
Le hoe t’Iosefe aman-drahalahi’e, fa hikenkan-draho; le toe hito­tsak’ ama’areo t’i Andrianañahare hinday anahareo hienga an-tane atoy homb’an-tane nifantà’e amy Avrahame, am’ Ietsàke naho am’Iakòbe.
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."
Aa le nampifantà’ Iosefe amo ana’ Israeleo ty hoe, Toe hañimba anahareo t’i Andrianañahare, vaho hakare’ areo an-tane atoy o taolakoo.
26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him and placed him in a coffin in Egypt.
Nihomake t’Io­sefe, ie ni-zato-tsi-folo taoñe, le naholon­koloñe naho napololòtse an-tsandòke e Mitsraime ao.
