Genesis 50
1 And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.
Pea tōmapeʻe ʻa Siosefa ki he mata ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻo tangi kiate ia, mo uma kiate ia.
2 Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.
Pea fekau ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene kau tangata faitoʻo, ke nau fakatolongaʻi ʻene tamai; pea naʻe fakatolonga ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kau faitoʻo.
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.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu koeʻuhi ko ia; he ko hono ngaahi ʻaho ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatolongaʻi; pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitungofulu koeʻuhi ko ia.
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:
Pea ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi, naʻe lea ʻa Siosefa ki he fale ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ke mou lea ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē,
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.
Naʻe puleʻi au ʻe heʻeku tamai ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, Vakai, teu mate: pea te ke tanu au ʻi he faʻitoka naʻaku ngaohi maʻaku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani. Pea ko eni ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai, pea te u toe haʻu.”
6 And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻo tanu hoʻo tamai, ʻo hangē ko e fuakava naʻa ne fekau ke ke fai.”
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;
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ke tanu ʻene tamai; pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻa Felo, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo hono fale, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsipite,
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.
Pea mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo Siosefa, mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; ko e nau tamaiki, mo e nau fanga manu, mo e nau fanga sipi, naʻa nau tuku pe ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.
9 And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi saliote, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi; ko e kakai tokolahi ʻaupito.
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.
Pea naʻa nau hoko ki he hahaʻanga uite ʻi ʻEtati, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani, pea nau tangi ai ʻi he tangi lahi mo fakamamahi: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tangi ki heʻene tamai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
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.
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ko e kakai Kēnani, ki he tangi ʻi he potu ʻi ʻEtati, pea nau lea ʻo pehē, “Ko e tangi fakamamahi eni, ki he kakai ʻIsipite;” ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ʻo ia ko ʻEpelimisilemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani.
12 And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;
Pea naʻe fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau.
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.
He naʻe fata ia ʻe hono ngaahi foha ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau tanu ia ʻi he ʻana ʻi he ngoue ko Makipila ʻoku hanga ki Mamili, ʻaia naʻe fakatau maʻana ʻe ʻEpalahame, mo e ngoue ko e tanuʻanga, meia ʻEfilone ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Heti.
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.
Pea naʻe toe liu mai ʻa Siosefa ki ʻIsipite, hili ʻae tanu ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu mo ia ke tanu ʻene tamai.
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!
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he ngaahi tokoua ʻo Siosefa, kuo pekia ʻa ʻenau tamai, naʻa nau pehē, “E fehiʻa nai ʻa Siosefa kiate kitautolu, mo totongi kiate kitautolu ʻae kovi kotoa pē naʻa tau fai kiate ia.”
16 So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:
Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻae tokotaha ke ʻalu kia Siosefa ʻo lea pehē, naʻe fekau ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ʻo pehē,
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.
“Te mou lea pehē kia Siosefa, ‘ʻOku ou kole ni kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae kovi ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua mo ʻenau fai hala;’ he naʻa nau fai kovi kiate koe: pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai.” Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia.
18 Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.
Pea ʻalu hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo foʻohifo ʻi hono ʻao; ʻo nau lea pehē, “Vakai mai, ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu.”
19 And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou manavahē; he ko e fetongi au ʻoe ʻOtua?
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.
Ka ko kimoutolu, naʻa mou mahalo kovi kiate au, ka naʻe puleʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke lelei, koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻaia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni, ke fakahaofi ʻae moʻui ʻae kakai tokolahi.
21 Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē; he te u tauhi ʻakinautolu mo hoʻomou tamaiki.” Pea naʻa ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo lea ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
22 And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Siosefa ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻa ia, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; pea ko e moʻui ʻa Siosefa ko e taʻu ʻe teau, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi, ko e toʻutangata ʻe tolu ko e fānau foki ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻomi ʻo tuku ki he funga tui ʻo Siosefa.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Teu mate au; pea ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ni, ki he fonua naʻa ne fuakava ki ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.”
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.
Pea naʻe fai kia Siosefa ʻae fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou fetuku hoku ngaahi hui mei heni.”
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
Pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa Siosefa, kuo teau taʻu, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu hono motuʻa: pea naʻa nau fakatolongaʻi ia, pea nau ai ia ki he puha ʻi ʻIsipite.
