Jenèz 50

1 Jozèf lage kò l' sou papa l', li kriye kont li, li bo l' nan figi.

And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

2 Apre sa, Jozèf rele dòktè ki t'ap sèvi l' yo, li fè yo pare kadav la. Se sa menm dòktè yo fè.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 Yo pran karant jou pou pare kadav la jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, moun peyi Lejip yo pase swasanndi jou ap kriye pou li.

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.

4 Lè tout swasanndi jou yo fin pase, jou pou antèman an rive. Jozèf pale ak moun lakay farawon yo, li di yo konsa: -Tanpri souple, rann mwen sèvis sa a. Pote komisyon sa a bay farawon an pou mwen.

And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 Di l' pou mwen: Anvan papa m' te mouri li te fè m' sèmante pou m' te antere l' nan kavo li te fè pare pou li nan peyi Kanaran. Tanpri, kite m' moute al antere papa m'. Apre sa, m'a tounen.

My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

6 Farawon an voye reponn li: -Ou mèt al antere papa ou, jan ou te sèmante ba li a.

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

7 Se konsa Jozèf moute al antere papa l'. tout moun lakay farawon yo, tout chèf ak tout notab peyi Lejip yo ale ak li,

And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 ansanm ak tout fanmi Jozèf yo, frè l' yo, ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Men yo te kite tout timoun piti yo Gochenn ansanm ak bèt yo, mouton, kabrit ak bèf.

And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

9 Te gen anpil cha ak anpil kavalye sou chwal ki t ale avek li. Kifè pa t' manke moun nan lantèman an.

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 Lè yo rive nan glasi Atad ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden, kote sòlèy leve a, yo pran rele byen fò. Jozèf te fè yo fè sèvis la pandan sèt jou pou papa l'.

And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 Lè moun peyi Kanaran yo wè sèvis lantèman yo t'ap fè Atad la, yo di: -Ala yon grannèg ki mouri lakay moun peyi Lejip yo papa! Se poutèt sa yo rele glasi ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an: Glasi lapenn moun peyi Lejip yo.

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel–mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

12 Konsa, pitit gason Jakòb yo te fè jan papa yo te ba yo lòd fè a.

And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

13 Yo pote kadav li nan peyi Kanaran, yo antere l' nan twou wòch ki te nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre. Se jaden sa a Abraram te achte nan men Efwon, moun Et la, pou sèvi l' simityè.

For his sons carried him into 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 of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 Apre Jozèf fin antere papa l', li tounen Lejip ansanm ak frè l' yo ak tout moun ki te moute avè l' pou lantèman papa l' la.

And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 Apre lanmò papa yo, frè Jozèf yo di: -Ou pa janm konnen. Jozèf ka kenbe nou nan kè, li ka fè nou peye tout sa nou te fè l' yo.

And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

16 Se konsa yo voye di Jozèf: -Men komisyon papa te ban nou pou ou anvan l' te mouri:

And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

17 Men sa n'a di Jozèf pou mwen: Tanpri, padonnen krim frè ou yo te fè ou la. Padonnen peche yo paske yo te fè ou mal anpil. Koulye a atò, tanpri, padonnen mal nou te fè ou la, nou menm k'ap sèvi Bondye papa ou la. Lè Jozèf tande pawòl sa a, li pran kriye.

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

18 Apre sa, frè l' yo vini yo menm menm, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan li, yo di l' konsa: -Men nou pote tèt nou pou nou sèvi ou domestik.

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

19 Jozèf di yo: -Nou pa bezwen pè. Mwen pa kapab pran plas Bondye.

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

20 Nou te moute konplo pou fè m' mal. Men Bondye fè sa tounen yon byen, pou l' te fè sak rive jòdi a rive, pou l' te ka sove lavi tout kantite moun sa yo.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

21 Non. Nou pa bezwen pè. M'ap okipe nou, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo. Se konsa, Jozèf te pale byen ak frè l' yo, li te di yo pawòl ki te touche kè yo, li remoute kouraj yo.

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

22 Jozèf te rete nan peyi Lejip ak tout fanmi papa l' yo. Li te gen sandizan (110 an) lè l' mouri.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

23 Li te gen tan wè pitit ak pitit pitit Efrayim. Se nan men l' pitit Maki yo te fèt. Maki sa a te pitit Manase.

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.

24 Li di frè l' yo konsa: -Mwen pral mouri. Men mwen sèten Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. L'ap fè nou kite peyi sa a, l'ap fè nou tounen nan peyi li te sèmante l'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

25 Apre sa, Jozèf fè pitit Izrayèl yo sèmante ba li, li di yo: -Wi, Bondye gen pou vin ede nou. Lè sa a, tanpri, pote zosman m' yo moute ak nou.

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

26 Lè Jozèf mouri li te gen sandizan (110 an). Yo benyen kadav la, yo pare l' pou l' pa pouri. Yo mete l' nan yon sèkèy byen fèmen nan peyi Lejip.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
