Jenesis 50
1 Anante Josefe'a nefa avugosafi umseno, zavi atenenteno antako hunte'ne.
Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
2 Henka Josefe'a fri kerfare kva nehia eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za, kehiaza hu'za avufgamo'ma kasri'zanku agu'afina mago'a marasini nente'za eri so'e hute'za, Israelina (Jekopu) masave fre'za ante'naze.
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 40'a zage gnafi e'i anazana huga hazankino, ana foti'a zagegnafina avufga eri so'e hu'naze. Ana hazageno Isipi vahe'mo'za 70'a zagegnafi zamasunku hu'za zavira ate'naze.
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 Anante zavi'ma atekna agateregeno, Josefe'a anage huno Fero nompi eri'za vahera zamasmi'ne, Tamagra menima nagri'ma antahi namisuta muse huramantoanki, Ferona amanage huta ome asmiho,
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 Nenfa'a huvempa ke hunanteno amanage hu'ne, nagra ha fri'za huanki, nagrama Kenani mopafi kerigama kafinte'nofi anantega ome asenantegahane. Anage hu'negu natrege'na avufga'a eri'na mareri'na ome asentete'na, ete a'neno.
‘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 Higeno Fero'a amanage hu'ne, Anagamu vunka negafa'ma huvempa huno kasmi'neaza hunka ome asento.
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 Hagi Josefe'a nefa asenteku anagamu marerigeno, Fero eri'za vahe'mo'zane, noma'afi kva vahe'ene, mika Isipi mopafi kva vahe'ene,
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 mika Josefe naga'ene, nefu'zane, nefa naga'enena vu'naze. Hianagi osi mofavre naga'zmine afu kevu zaminena Goseni mopafi zamatre'za vu'naze.
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 Anama Josefe'enema vu'nazana rama'a sondia vahe'ene vu'nazankino, mago'a karisifi maniza nevazageno, mago'a hosi agumpifi mani'za vu'naze.
Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
10 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za vu'za Jordani timofo kantu kaziga ankenarega, witi honama neharaza kumate Atadi umani'naze. Anante 7ni'a zage gna zamagra umanine'za, zamagrama zamavuzmavapima nehazaza hu'za, nezmanfankura tusi zavi ate'naze.
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 Ana mopafima nemaniza Kenani vahe'mo'za kazama witi akru neharaza kumate Atadi mani''neza zavi netage'za nezmage'za anage hu'naze. Ama'i Isipi vahe'mo'za tusi'a zavi atetere, nehu'za agi'a Abel-mizraim hu'nazankino, zage hanati kaziga Jodani me'ne.
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 Hagi Jekopu mofavre naga'mo'za nezmafa'ma zmasami'neaza hu'naze.
Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
13 Agri mofavre'mo'za kerfa'a eri'za Kenani mopafi vu'za, Makapela havegampi Mamre kuma tvaonte ome asente'naze, ko'ma Abrahamu'ma vahe asente mopae huno Hiti ne' Efroninteti, miza hu'nea mopafi asente'naze.
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 Ana'ma huno Josefe'ma nefama asentetege'za, afuhe'zane nefama asenteku mareri'naza vahe'ene maka ete Isipi moparega vu'naze.
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 Hagi nezmafa'ma fritege'za, Josefe nefu'za anage hu'naze, tagrama havizama hunte'nona nona'a, tagrira na'a hurantegahie?
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 Nehu'za zamagra Josefena ke atrente'za anange hu'naze, Negafa'a frinaku nehuno,
So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
17 anage huta Josefena asmiho hu'ne, muse (plis) hugantoanki, havi avu'ava hugante'nazana kumi zamia atre'zmanto. Menina muse (plis) hugantoanki, negafa Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'mota havi avu'ava hugante'none. Ana kema Josefe'ma nentahino'a zavi ate'ne.
‘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 Anante afuhe'za e'za Josefe avuga zamugosaregati umase'za anage hu'naze, Antahio, tagra kagri kazokazo eri'za vahere.
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 Hianagi Josefe'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, korora osiho, nagra Anumzana omani'nogu keaga huoramantegahue.
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 Tamagra nagrira nazeri haviza hu'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a rama'a vahe zamaza hunaku nentahino anara hu'neankino, menina ana zamo'a fore nehie.
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 E'ina hu'negu tamagra korora osiho, nagra tamagri'ene, neone mofavre naga'enena tamazeri knare hugahue. Nehuno zamanukige antege nehuno, knare kegaga huzami'ne.
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 Hagi Josefe'a Isipi mopare afu aganahezane mani'neno, 110ni'a zagegafu hu'ne.
Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
23 Efraemi mofavremo mofavre antegeno negeno, Manase ne'mofavre'mo Makiri mofavre antegeno Josefe'a amote zamavarenteno keteno fri'ne.
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 Josefe'a amanage huno afuhe'ina zamasmi'ne, Nagra fri'za hue, Anumzamo tamagrira kegava huneramanteno, tamavreno ama mopafintira marerino Abrahamuma, Aisakima, Jekopuma huvempa huzmante'nea mopare vugahie.
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 Anante Josefe'a Israeli ne'mofavre nagara amanage huno huvempa huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamo tamagrira kegava huramante'nena zaferinani'a erita mareriho.
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 Hagi Josefe'a 110ni'a zagegafu maniteno frige'za, avufgamo'ma kasrizanku agu'afina mago'a marasini ante'za eri so'e hute'za masave freza, zavoafi eri antageno Isipi mopafi me'ne.
So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
