Jenesis 50
1 Josef dakwasịrị nʼihu nna ya, kwaa akwa, sutukwa ya ọnụ.
Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
2 Josef nyere iwu, ka ndị dibịa na-ejere ya ozi gbasie ozu nna ya. Ya mere, ndị dibịa ahụ gbasikwara Izrel.
And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
3 O were ha iri ụbọchị anọ ịgbasi ozu, nʼihi na nke a bụ oge o kwesiri iwe ha ime ya. Mgbe nke a gasịrị, a kwara ya nʼala Ijipt iri ụbọchị asaa.
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 Mgbe oge iru ụjụ gafesịrị, Josef gwara ndị ụlọ Fero sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na m ahụtala amara nʼihu unu, biko, gwaranụ m Fero otu a, sị ya,
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 ‘Nna m mere ka m ṅụọra ya iyi mgbe ọ na-anwụ, sị, “Lee, agala m ịnwụ, ị ga-eli m nʼili m, nke m gwuuru onwe m nʼala Kenan.” Ugbu a, biko ka m gaa lie nna m, ma lọghachikwa.’”
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 Fero zara sị ya, “Gaa lie nna gị dịka o mere ka ị ṅụọ iyi na ị ga-eme.”
Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
7 Ya mere, Josef gara ili nna ya. Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ sokwa ya. Ndịisi ọchịchị Fero, na ndị okenye ụlọ ya, na ndị okenye a ma ama nʼala Ijipt.
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 Ndị ọzọ bụkwa ndị ụlọ Josef niile, ụmụnne ya, na ndị ụlọ nna ya. Naanị ụmụntakịrị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, na igwe ehi ha, ka ha hapụrụ nʼala Goshen.
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 Ma ịnyịnya ụgbọ na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya, so ya gaa. Igwe mmadụ gara ije a buru ibu nke ukwuu.
And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
10 Mgbe ha ruru ebe ịzọcha ọka nke Atad, nʼofe ọzọ nke Jọdan, ha weere iti aka nʼobi dị ukwuu tie aka nʼobi ha nʼebe ahụ. Josef ruru ụjụ ụbọchị asaa maka nna ya nʼebe ahụ.
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 Mgbe ndị bi nʼala Kenan hụrụ oke iru ụjụ nke ebe ịzọcha ọka nke Atad ahụ, ha sịrị, “Nke a bụụrụ ndị Ijipt iru ụjụ dị ukwuu.” Nʼihi nke a, ha kpọrọ ebe ahụ dị nso na Jọdan Ebel-Mizraim.
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 Ụmụ Jekọb mere dịka nna ha gwara ha.
So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
13 Nʼihi na ha buuru ozu ya laa nʼala Kenan, lie ya nʼọgba ahụ dị nʼọhịa Makipela, nke bụ ala ubi Ebraham zụrụ dịka ala olili ozu, site nʼaka Efrọn, onye Het; nʼakụkụ Mamre.
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 Emesịa, Josef laghachiri Ijipt ya na ụmụnne ya, na ndị niile sooro ya gaa olili ozu nna ya, ngwangwa elichara nna ya.
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 Mgbe ụmụnne Josef hụrụ na nna ha anwụọla, ha sịrị, “Eleghị anya Josef ga-akpọ anyị asị, kwụghachi anyị ụgwọ ihe ọjọọ niile anyị mere ya?”
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 Nʼihi nke a, ha zipụrụ Josef ozi sị, “Nna gị nyere iwu a tupu ọ nwụọ.
Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
17 ‘Gwa Josef sị ya, Arịọọ m gị, gbaghara ihe ọjọọ niile ụmụnne gị mere, na mmehie ha mere megide gị.’ Ugbu a, gbaghara mmehie anyị bụ ndị ohu Chineke nna gị.” Mgbe Josef nụrụ ihe ha kwuru, ọ kwara akwa.
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 Ụmụnne ya bịakwara daa nʼihu ya, sị, “Anyị bụ ndị ohu gị.”
Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
19 Ma Josef sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Abụ m Chineke onye na-ekpe ikpe nke m ga-eji taa unu ahụhụ?
To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
20 Ọ bụ ezie na unu chere ime m ihe ọjọọ, ma Chineke chere ya ka ọ bụrụ ezi ihe, iji debe ọtụtụ ndụ dịka ọ na-eme taa.
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 Ya mere, ụjọ atụla unu. Mụ onwe m ga-azụ unu na ụmụntakịrị unu.” Ọ kasịrị ha obi, gwa ha okwu bara ha nʼobi.
Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
22 Josef biri nʼIjipt, ya na ụmụnne ya, na ndị ụlọ ha. Josef gbara narị afọ na iri.
So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
23 Josef hụrụ ụmụ Ifrem, na ụmụ ụmụ ya. Ọ nọkwa ndụ hụ ụmụ Makia nwa Manase, ndị e kukwasịrị nʼikpere ya.
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 Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị ụmụnne ya, “Agala m ịnwụ, ma Chineke ga-abịa ileta unu. Ọ ga-esi nʼala a kpọpụta unu kpọgakwa unu nʼala ahụ ọ ṅụụrụ Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb iyi, na ọ ga-enye ha.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Josef mere ka ụmụ Izrel ṅụọrọ ya iyi sị, “Mgbe Chineke bịara ileta unu, unu aghaghị ị site nʼebe a chịkọrọ ọkpụkpụ m.”
And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
26 Josef nwụrụ mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ na iri. Ha gbasiri ozu ya, tinye ya nʼime igbe ozu, nʼala Ijipt.
So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
