Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
Yusufu akahuzunika sana hata akauangukia uso wa baba yake, akamlilia, na kumbusu.
2 Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.
Yusufu akawaagiza watumishi wake matabibu kumtia dawa babaye. Hivyo matabibu wakampaka dawa Israeli.
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.
Wakatimiza siku arobain, kwani huo ndio uliokuwa muda kamili wa kutia dawa. Wamisri wakamlilia kwa siku sabini
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:
Siku za maombolezo zilipotimia, Yusufu akaongea na watumishi wa baraza la kifalme wa Farao kusema, “Ikiwa nimepata kibali machoni penu, tafadharini ongeeni na Farao, kusema,
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.
'Baba yangu aliniapisha, kusema, “Tazama, ninakaribia kufa. Unizike katika kaburi nililolichimba kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe katika nchi ya Kanaani. Ndipo utakaponizika.” Basi sasa niruhusu niende nimzike baba yangu, na kisha nitarudi.”
6 And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Farao akajibu, “Nenda na umzika baba yako, kama alivyokuwapisha.”
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;
Yusufu akaenda kumzika baba yake. Maofisa wa Farao wote wakaenda pamoja naye - washauri wa nyumba yake, maofisa waandamizi wote wa nchi ya Misri,
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.
pamoja na nyumba yote ya Yusufu na ndugu zake, na nyumba yote ya baba yake. Lakini watoto wao, kondoo wao na makundi ya mbuzi wao yaliachwa katika nchi ya Gosheni.
9 And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
Vibandawazi na wapanda farasi pia walikwenda pamoja naye. Lilikuwa kundi kubwa sana la watu.
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.
Hata walipokuja katika sakafu ya kupuria ya Atadi upande mwingine wa Yordani, wakaomboleza kwa majonzi ya huzuni kubwa. Yusufu akafanya maombolezo ya siku saba kwa ajili ya babaye pale.
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.
Wenyeji wa nchi, Wakanaani, walipoona maombolezo katika sakafu ya Atadi, wakasema, “Hili ni tukio la kuhuzunisha sana kwa Wamisri.” Ndiyo maana eneo hilo likaitwa Abeli Mizraimu, lililoko mbele ya Yordani.
12 And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
Hivyo wanawe wakamfanyia Yakobo kama alivyokuwa amewaagiza.
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.
Wana wake wakampeleka katika nchi ya Kanaani na wakamzika katika pango katika shamba la Makpela, karibu na Mamre. Ibrahimi alikuwa amelinunua pango pamoja na shamba kwa ajili ya eneo la kuzikia. Alikuwa amelinunua kutoka kwa Efroni Mhiti.
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.
Baada ya kuwa amemzika babaye, Yusufu akarudi Misri, yeye, pamoja na ndugu zake, na wote waliokuwa wamemsindikiza ili kumzika babaye.
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!
Nduguze Yusufu walipoona kwamba baba yao amekufa, wakasema, “Itakuwaje ikiwa Yusufu atatukasirikia na akataka kutulipa kikamilifu kwa ajili ya uovu tuliomtenda?”
16 So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:
Hivyo wakamwagiza Yusufu, kusema, “Baba yako alitoa maelekezo kabla hajafa, kusema,
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.
'Mwambieni hivi Yusufu, “Tafadhari samehe makosa ya ndugu zako na dhambi yao uovu waliokutenda.” Basi wasamehe watumishi wa Mungu wa baba yako.” Yusufu akalia walipomwambia.
18 Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
Ndugu zake pia wakaenda na kuinamisha nyuso zao mbele zake. Wakasema, “Tazama, sisi ni watumishi wako.”
19 And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
Lakini Yusufu akawajibu, “Msiogope, Je mimi ni badala ya Mungu?
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.
Lakini kwenu, mlikusudia kunidhuru, lakini Mungu alikusudia mema, kuhifadhi maisha ya watu wengi, kama mwonavyo leo.
21 Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
Hivyo basi msiogope. Nitawahudumia ninyi na watoto wenu wadogo.” Kwa njia hii aliwatia moyo na kuongea na mioyo yao kwa upole.
22 And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Yusufu akakaa Misri, pamoja na familia ya baba yake. Akaishi miaka mia moja na kumi.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
Yusufu akawaona wana wa Efraimu hata kizazi cha tatu. Pia aliwaona wana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, waliowekwa katika magoti ya Yusufu.
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.
Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Ninakaribia kufa; lakini kwa hakika Mungu atawajilia na kuwaongoza kutoka katika nchi hii na kuwapeleka katika nch aliyoapa kumpa Ibrahimu, kwa Isaka na kwa Yakobo.”
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.
Kisha Yusufu akawaapisha watu wa Israeli kwa kiapo. Akasema, “Bila shaka Mungu atawajilia. Wakati huo mtachukuwa mifupa yangu kutoka hapa.”
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
Hivyo Yusufu akafa, mwenye miaka 110. Wakampaka dawa na akawekwa katika jeneza huko Misri.
