Jenèz 50
1 Joseph te tonbe sou figi a papa li. Li te kriye sou li, e li te bo li.
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on 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 Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed 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.
And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
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 days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favor in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,
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 adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.
6 Farawon te di: “Ale monte antere papa ou, jan li te fè ou sèmante a.”
And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.
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 Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and 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.
And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.
9 Osi te monte avèk li, cha yo avèk chevalye yo. Epi se te yon gran konpanyen.
And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very 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 the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
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 the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.
12 Se konsa fis li yo te fè pou li jan li te kòmande yo a;
And thus his sons did to him.
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.
So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.
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.
And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury 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 the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.
16 Epi yo te voye vè Joseph e te di: “Papa ou te pase lòd avan li te mouri. Li te di:
And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] 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 say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.
18 Frè li yo anplis, te vin tonbe ba devan li, e yo te di: “Gade byen, nou se sèvitè ou.”
And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.
19 Konsa, Joseph te di yo: “Pa pè; èske mwen nan plas Bondye?
And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.
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.
You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.
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.
And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Alò, Joseph te rete an Égypte, li menm avèk lakay papa li, epi Joseph te viv pandan san-dis ane.
And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
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 Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.
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 Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.
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 Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
26 Alò, Joseph te mouri nan laj san-dis ane. Li te anbome e yo te plase li nan yon sèkèy an Égypte.
And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
