< Genesis 50 >

1 And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
Na ka hinga a Hohepa ki runga ki te mata o tona papa, a ka tangi i runga i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia.
2 Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.
Na ka whakahau a Hohepa i ana tangata, i nga kairongoa, kia whakapakokotia tona papa; na whakapakokotia ana a Iharaira e nga kairongoa.
3 And they fulfilled for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
Na ka tutuki ona ra e wha tekau; ko nga ra hoki ena e whakatutukitia ana mo te hunga e whakapakokotia ana: a e whitu tekau nga ra i uhungatia ai ia e nga Ihipiana.
4 And, when the days of weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh saying:
A, ka taka nga ra e uhungatia ia ia, ka korero a Hohepa ki te whare o Parao, ka mea, Na, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koutou, tena, korero atu ki nga taringa o Parao, mea atu,
5 My father, made me swear saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and return.
I whakaoati toku papa i ahau, i mea, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei roto i taku tanumanga i keria e ahau moku ki te whenua o Kanaana, hei reira ahau tanumia ai e koe. Na kia tukua ahau e koe aianei kia haere ki runga, ki te tanu i toku papa, ka hoki mai ai.
6 And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Na ka mea a Parao, Haere ki runga ki te tanu i tou papa, kia rite ki tana i whakaoati ai i a koe.
7 So Joseph went up. to bury his father, —and there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt;
Na haere ana a Hohepa ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i haere tahi ano i a ia nga pononga katoa a Parao, nga kaumatua o tona whare, me nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa,
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.
Me te whare katoa ano hoki o Hohepa, ratou ko ona tuakana, me te whare ano hoki o tona papa; ko a ratou tamariki anake, me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau i mahue i a ratou i te whenua o Kohena.
9 And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
I haere tahi ano i a ia nga hariata me nga tangata hoiho: he nui whakaharahara te tira.
10 And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.
Na ka tae ratou ki te patunga witi a Atara, i tawahi o Horano, a he tino nui whakaharahara te tangihanga i tangi ai ratou ki reira: e whitu hoki nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tona papa.
11 And when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
A, ka kite nga tangata whenua, nga Kanaani, i te uhunga i te patunga witi a Atara, ka mea ratou, He uhunga nui tenei na nga Ihipiana: na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o reira ko Apere Mitiraima, kei tawahi hoki o Horano.
12 And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
Na rite tonu ki tana i whakahau ai ki a ratou tana tama i mea ai ki a ia:
13 so his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, —which Abraham bought—with the field—for a possession of a buryingplace from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.
I kawea hoki ia e ana tama ki te whenua o Kanaana, a tanumia ana ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i hokona tahitia nei e Aperahama me te parae i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga, kei te ritenga atu o Mamere.
14 Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried his father.
Na hoki ana a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou tahi ko ona tuakana, ko nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere tahi i a ia ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i te mutunga o tana tanu i tona papa.
15 Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited him!
Na, i te kitenga o nga tuakana o Hohepa kua mate to ratou papa, ka mea ratou, Tera pea e kino mai a Hohepa ki a tatou, a ka utua mai e ia a tatou kino katoa i meatia e tatou ki a ia.
16 So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:
Na ka tuku tangata ratou ki a Hohepa, a ka mea, I whakahau mai tou papa i mua ake i tona matenga, i mea mai,
17 Thus, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
Kia penei ta koutou kupu ki a Hohepa, Tena, whakarerea te he o ou tuakana, me to ratou hara; he kino hoki ta ratou mahi ki a koe: na, tena whakarerea te he o nga pononga a te Atua o tou papa. A ka tangi a Hohepa i a ratou kupu ki a ia.
18 Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
Na ka haere ona tuakana, ka tapapa ki tona aroaro; ka mea, Tenei matou hei pononga mau.
19 And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
A ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi: he kaiwhakakapi oti ahau mo to te Atua wahi?
20 Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.
Ko koutou hoki, i he o koutou whakaaro ki ahau; he pai ia to te Atua whakaaro, kia meatia ai tenei inaianei, kia whakaorangia ai hoki nga tangata tokomaha.
21 Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
Heoi kaua e wehi; maku koutou e atawhai, koutou ko a koutou tamariki. A ka whakamarie ia i a ratou, ka whakamama hoki i o ratou ngakau.
22 And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Na ka noho a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou ko te whare o tona papa: a kotahi rau kotahi tekau nga tau i ora ai a Hohepa.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
A i kite a Hohepa i te tuatoru o nga whakatupuranga o nga tamariki a Eparaima: i whakatupuria ano hoki nga tamariki a Makiri, tama a Manahi, ki runga ki nga turi o Hohepa.
24 Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Ka mate ahau; otiia ka ata tirohia koutou e te Atua, a ka kawea atu koutou e ia i tenei whenua ki runga, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.
Na ka whakaoatitia nga tama a Iharaira e Hohepa, ka mea ia, Ka tikina mai koutou, ka ata tirohia e te Atua, a me kawe atu e koutou oku iwi i konei ki runga.
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
Na ka mate a Hohepa i te kotahi rau i te kotahi tekau o ona tau: a ka whakapakokotia e ratou, ka whakatakotoria hoki ki te kawhena i Ihipa.
