< Genesis 50 >

1 And Joseph falleth on his father's face, and weepeth over him, and kisseth him;
Joseph te tonbe sou figi a papa li. Li te kriye sou li, e li te bo li.
2 and Joseph commandeth his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel;
Joseph te kòmande sèvitè li yo avèk doktè yo pou anbome kò papa l. Donk, doktè yo te anbome Israël.
3 and they fulfil for him forty days, for so they fulfil the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy days.
Alò, karant jou te nesesè pou sa, paske se tan sa a li te pran pou anbome. Epi Ejipsyen yo te kriye pou li pandan swasanndi jou.
4 And the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaketh unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, 'If, I pray you, I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Lè jou doulè pou li yo te fin pase, Joseph te pale a lakay Farawon, e te di: “Si koulye a mwen jwenn favè nan zye nou, souple, pale avèk Farawon, e di:
5 My father caused me to swear, saying, Lo, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there dost thou bury me; and now, let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and return;'
Papa m te fè m sèmante e te di: ‘Gade byen, mwen prèt pou mouri. Nan tonm mwen ke m te fouye pou mwen menm nan peyi Canaan an, se la nou va antere mwen.’ Alò, pou sa, kite mwen monte pou antere papa m; epi mwen va retounen.”
6 and Pharaoh saith, 'Go up and bury thy father, as he caused thee to swear.'
Farawon te di: “Ale monte antere papa ou, jan li te fè ou sèmante a.”
7 And Joseph goeth up to bury his father, and go up with him do all the servants of Pharaoh, elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Alò, Joseph te monte pou antere papa li, e avèk li te monte tout sèvitè a Farawon yo, ansyen lakay li yo, ak tout ansyen a peyi Égypte yo.
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen;
Tout lakay Joseph avèk frè li yo, ak lakay papa li te ale. Yo te kite sèlman timoun yo, bann mouton yo ak twoupo yo nan peyi Gosen an.
9 and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
Osi te monte avèk li, cha yo avèk chevalye yo. Epi se te yon gran konpanyen.
10 And they come unto the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he maketh for his father a mourning seven days,
Lè yo te vin nan glasi vannen kote Athad la, glasi ki lòtbò Jourdain an, yo te fè anpil kriye avèk gwo lamantasyon byen tris. Li te obsève sèt jou lamantasyon pou papa li.
11 and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, see the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad, and say, 'A grievous mourning [is] this to the Egyptians;' therefore hath [one] called its name 'The mourning of the Egyptians,' which [is] beyond the Jordan.
Alò, lè abitan nan peyi a, Kananeyen yo te wè lamantasyon sa a nan glasi vannen Athad la, yo te di: “Sa se yon lamantasyon trè di pou Ejipsyen yo.” Pou rezon sa a, yo te rele li Abel-Mitsraïm, ki vle di lòtbò Jourdain an.
12 And his sons do to him so as he commanded them,
Se konsa fis li yo te fè pou li jan li te kòmande yo a;
13 and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of Mamre.
paske fis li yo te pote li nan peyi Canaan an. Yo te antere li nan kav kote chan a Macpéla a avan Mamré, ke Abraham te achte ansanm avèk chan an pou yon kote antèman nan men Éphron, Etyen an.
14 And Joseph turneth back to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying his father.
Apre li te antere papa li, Joseph te retounen an Égypte—li menm, frè li yo, ak tout moun ki te monte avèk li pou antere papa li yo.
15 And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, 'Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with him.'
Lè frè a Joseph yo te wè ke papa yo te mouri, yo te di: “Kisa ki va rive si Joseph toujou pote lahèn kont nou, e deside fè vanjans pou sa nou te fè l la?”
16 And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, 'Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
Epi yo te voye vè Joseph e te di: “Papa ou te pase lòd avan li te mouri. Li te di:
17 Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him.
‘Konsa ou va di a Joseph: Souple, mwen mande ou padon pou transgresyon a frè ou yo avèk peche pa yo, paske yo te fè ou tò.’ Koulye a, souple, padone transgresyon sèvitè Bondye a papa ou yo.” Epi Joseph te kriye lè yo te pale avèk li.
18 And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, 'Lo, we [are] to thee for servants.'
Frè li yo anplis, te vin tonbe ba devan li, e yo te di: “Gade byen, nou se sèvitè ou.”
19 And Joseph saith unto them, 'Fear not, for [am] I in the place of God?
Konsa, Joseph te di yo: “Pa pè; èske mwen nan plas Bondye?
20 As for you, ye devised against me evil — God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
Pou nou menm, nou te anvizaje mal kont mwen, men Bondye te anvizaje sa ki bon pou Li ta kapab fè rive rezilta ke nou wè koulye a devan nou an, pou L ta kapab prezève vi a anpil moun.
21 and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.
Pou sa, pa pè. Mwen va fè pwovizyon pou nou avèk pitit nou yo.” Li te rekonfòte yo e li te pale avèk tandrès avèk yo.
22 And Joseph dwelleth in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph liveth a hundred and ten years,
Alò, Joseph te rete an Égypte, li menm avèk lakay papa li, epi Joseph te viv pandan san-dis ane.
23 and Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.
Joseph te wè twazyèm jenerasyon nan fis Ephraim yo, e anplis, fis a Makir yo, fis a Manassé a te fèt sou jenou a Joseph.
24 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'
Joseph te di frè li yo: “Mwen prèt pou mouri men Bondye va asireman pran swen nou, e Li va fè nou sòti nan peyi sa a vè peyi ke li te pwomèt nan sèman li a Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob la.”
25 And Joseph causeth the sons of Israel to swear, saying, 'God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this [place].'
Konsa, Joseph te fè fis Israël yo sèmante. Li te di: “Anverite, Bondye va pwoteje nou, e nou va pote zo mwen monte kite isit la.”
26 And Joseph dieth, a son of an hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
Alò, Joseph te mouri nan laj san-dis ane. Li te anbome e yo te plase li nan yon sèkèy an Égypte.
