Jenèz 50

1 Joseph te tonbe sou figi a papa li. Li te kriye sou li, e li te bo li.

Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.

2 Joseph te kòmande sèvitè li yo avèk doktè yo pou anbome kò papa l. Donk, doktè yo te anbome Israël.

And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.

3 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.

So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes.

4 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:

And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say,

5 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.”

My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe.

6 Farawon te di: “Ale monte antere papa ou, jan li te fè ou sèmante a.”

Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.

7 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.

So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.

8 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.

Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen.

9 Osi te monte avèk li, cha yo avèk chevalye yo. Epi se te yon gran konpanyen.

And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.

10 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.

And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes.

11 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.

And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden.

12 Se konsa fis li yo te fè pou li jan li te kòmande yo a;

So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:

13 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.

For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre.

14 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.

Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father.

15 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?”

And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him.

16 Epi yo te voye vè Joseph e te di: “Papa ou te pase lòd avan li te mouri. Li te di:

Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,

17 ‘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.

Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him.

18 Frè li yo anplis, te vin tonbe ba devan li, e yo te di: “Gade byen, nou se sèvitè ou.”

Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.

19 Konsa, Joseph te di yo: “Pa pè; èske mwen nan plas Bondye?

To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?

20 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.

When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue.

21 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.

Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.

22 Alò, Joseph te rete an Égypte, li menm avèk lakay papa li, epi Joseph te viv pandan san-dis ane.

So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.

23 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.

And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees.

24 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.”

And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob.

25 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.”

And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.

26 Alò, Joseph te mouri nan laj san-dis ane. Li te anbome e yo te plase li nan yon sèkèy an Égypte.

So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
