Kinohi 50
1 HAULE iho la o Iosopa ma ka maka o kona makuakane, a uwe iho la maluna iho, a houi aku la.
Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
2 Kauoha ae la o Iosepa i kana mau kauwa, i na kahnua e ialoa i kona makuakane, a ialoa no na kahuna ia Iseraela.
Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
3 A pau ae la na la hookahi kanaha nona, no ka mea, oia na la e pau ai ka ialoa ana o ka poe i ialoaia; a kanikau iho la ko Aigupita nona i na la he kanahiku.
So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
4 A pau ae la na la kanikau, olelo aku la o Iosepa i na kanaka o Parao, i aku la, Ina i loaa ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai ia oukou, ke nei aku nei au, e olelo aku oukou ma ka pepeiao o Parao, me ka i aku,
When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
5 Na ko'u makuakane i hoohiki ai au, i mai la ia, E, e make ana au. E kanu oe ia'u, ma ka lua kupapau a'u i kohi ai no'u ma ka aina i kanaana. Malaila oe e kanu ai ia'u. E ae mai hoi oe ia'u ke pii aku a kanu i kuu makuakane, a hoi hou mai no.
‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
6 I mai la o Parao, O hele e kanu i kou makuakane, e like me kau i hoohiki ai nana.
After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
7 Pii aku la o Iosepa e kanu i kona makuakane, a pii pu aku la me ia na kauwa a Parao a pau, a me na luna kahiko o kona hale, a me na luna kahiko a pau o ka aina o Aigupita:
So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
8 O ko Iosepa poe a pau me kona poe hoahanau, a me ka poe a pau o kona makuakane. O na kamalii, a me na hipa, a me na bipi, oia wale no ka lakou i waiho ai mahope, ma ka aina i Gosena.
His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
9 Pii pu aku la me ia na kaa a me na hoohololio; he poe nui loa.
Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
10 Pii aku la lakou i kahi hehi palaoa o Atada, ma o aku o Ioredaue, a malaila lakou i uwe ai me ka uwe nui loa, a kanikau iho la lakou i kona makuakane i na la ehiku.
They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
11 A ike ae la ka poe noho ma ia aina, o ko Kanaana i ua kanikau nei, ma kahi hehi palaoa o Atada, olelo iho la lakou, He kanikau nui loa keia a ko Aigupita: no ia mea, ua kapa aku la ka inoa o Abelamizeraima, aia ma o aku o Ioredane.
When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
12 A hana aku la kana mau keiki ia ia e like me kana i kauoha ai ia lakou.
Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
13 Lawe aku la no kana mau keiki ia ia, i ka aina o Kanaana, a kanu iho la ia ia ma ke ana iloko o ke kula, ma Makepela, na Aberahama i kuai ia kula i wahi ilina nona, me Eperona no ka Heta, aia ma ke alo o Mamere.
They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
14 A pau ke kanu ana i kona makuakane, hoi aku la o Iosepa i Aigupita, oia, a me kona poe hoahanau a pau i hele pu me ia e kanu i kona makuakane.
After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
15 A ike iho la na kaikuaana o Iosepa, ua make ko lakou makuakane, olelo lakou, E ukiuki mai auanei o Iosepa ia kakou; e oiaio no, e hoopai mai ia i ka hewa a pau a kakou i hana aku ai ia ia.
After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
16 Kauoha ae la lakou ia Iosepa, i ae la, Kauoha mai la kou makuakane, mamua o kona make ana, i mai la,
So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
17 E i aku oukou ia Iosepa, Ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e kala oe i ka hewa o kou poe kaikuaana, a me ko lakou hala, no ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou ia oe. Ano hoi, e kala oe i ka hewa o na kauwa a ke Akua o kou makuakane. Uwe iho la o Iosepa i ka lakou olelo ana mai ia ia.
‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
18 Hele ae la hoi kona poe kaikuaana, haule iho la ma kona alo, i ae la, O kau mau kanwa makou.
Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
19 I mai la o Iosepa ia lakou, Mai makau oukou, Owau anei ma ko ke Akua wahi?
But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
20 I manao no oukou e hana ino mai ia'u, a hoololi mai ke Akua ia mea, i mea maikai, e hana mai ai e like me ia i neia la, e hoola i na kanaka he nui loa.
As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
21 Mai makau: na'u no oukou e malama aku i ka ai, a me ka oukou poe keiki. Hooluolu mai la ia ia lakou, a olelo lokomaikai mai la i ko lakou naau.
So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
22 Noho iho la o Iosepa ma Aignpita, oia, a me ka ohana a kona makuakane: a o na makahiki o ko Iosepa oia ana, hookahi haneri a me ka umi keu.
Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
23 A ike iho la o Iosepa i na keiki a Eperaima a me ke ku akolu, a me na keiki a Makira, ke keiki a Manase, o ka mea i hanauia ma na kuli o Iosepa.
He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
24 I ae la o Iosepa i kona poe hoahanau, E make ana au. E oiaio no, e ike mai ke Akua ia oukou, a e hoihoi aku ia oukou, mai keia aina aku, a ka aina ana i hoohiki ai ia Aberahama a ia Isaaka, a ia Iakoba.
One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 Na Iosepa no, na mamo a Iseraela i hoohiki ai, i ae la, E oiaio no, e ike mai ke Akua ia oukou, a e lawe aku oukou i ko'u mau iwi, mai anei aku.
Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
26 A make iho la o Iosepa ma ka makahiki o kona ola ana, hookahi haneri a me ka umi keu. A ialoa iho la lakou ia ia a waiho iho la maloko o ka pahu ma Aigupita.
So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
