Genesisy 50

1 Ary Josefa nihohoka tamin’ ny tavan’ ny rainy ka nitomany teo amboniny sady nanoroka azy.

And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.

2 Ary nasain’ i Josefa nanosotra zava-manitra an-drainy ny mpanompony izay mpanao fanafody; dia nanosotra an’ Isiraely ny mpanao fanafody.

Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 Ary notanterahiny taminy ny efa-polo andro, fa izany no isan’ ny andro nanosoram-paty; ary ny Egyptiana nisaona azy fito-polo andro.

And they fulfilled for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

4 Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro nisaonana azy, Josefa dia niteny tamin’ ny tao an-tranon’ i Farao ka nanao hoe: Raha mba nahita fitia eo imasonareo aho, masìna ianareo, lazao amin’ i Farao, ka ataovy hoe:

And, when the days of weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh saying:

5 Ny raiko efa nampianiana ahy ka nanao hoe: Indro, ho faty aho; koa ao amin’ ny fasako, izay nohadiko ho ahy any amin’ ny tany Kanana, dia ao no andeveno ahy. Koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka aho hiakatra handevina ny raiko, dia hiverina atỳ indray.

My father, made me swear saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and return.

6 Ary hoy Farao: Miakara ary, ka aleveno ny rainao araka izay nampianianany anao.

And Pharaoh said, —Go up., and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.

7 Dia lasa niakatra Josefa handevina ny rainy; ary niara-niakatra taminy ny mpanompon’ i Farao rehetra, dia ny loholona tao an-tranony sy ny loholona rehetra tany amin’ ny tany Egypta,

So Joseph went up. to bury his father, —and there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt;

8 ary ny ankohonan’ i Josefa rehetra sy ny rahalahiny ary ny ankohonan-drainy; ny ankizy madinika sy ny ondriny aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny ihany no navelany tao amin’ ny tany Gosena.

and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.

9 Ary nisy kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly niara-niakatra taminy koa, ka lehibe dia lehibe ny tobiny.

And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,

10 Ary rehefa tonga teo Goren’ atada izy, izay ao an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia nanao fisaonana lehibe sy mafy indrindra teo izy; dia nisaona an-drainy hafitoana Josefa.

And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.

11 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny Kananita tompon-tany ny fisaonana teo Goren-atada, dia hoy izy: Fisaonana mafy amin’ ny Egyptiana izao; izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Abel-Egyptiana, izay ao an-dafin’ i Jordana.

And when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

12 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Jakoba nanao taminy araka izay nandidiany azy,

And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;

13 dia nitondra azy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana, ary nandevina azy tao amin’ ny zohy amin’ ny saha Makpela, tandrifin’ i Mamre, dia ilay novidin’ i Abrahama mbamin’ ny saha tamin’ i Efrona Hetita ho tany fandevenana.

so his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, —which Abraham bought—with the field—for a possession of a buryingplace from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.

14 Ary rehefa voalevin’ i Josefa ny rainy, dia niverina tany Egypta izy sy ny rahalahiny mbamin’ izay rehetra niara-niakatra taminy handevina ny rainy.

Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried his father.

15 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny rahalahin’ i Josefa fa maty ny rainy, dia hoy izy: Andrao hanao fo-lentika amintsika Josefa ka hamaly antsika tokoa noho izay ratsy rehetra nataontsika taminy.

Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited him!

16 Dia naniraka nankany amin’ i Josefa izy ka nanao hoe: Ny rainao nanafatra, fony izy tsy mbola maty,

So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:

17 ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Josefa: Mamela re ny fahadisoan’ ny rahalahinao sy ny fahotany, fa efa nanao ratsy taminao izy; eny, mamela ankehitriny ny fahadisoan’ ny mpanompon’ ny Andriamanitry ny rainao. Dia nitomany Josefa, raha niteny taminy izy ireo.

Thus, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

18 Koa nanatona azy ny rahalahiny, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay ho mpanomponao.

Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.

19 Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Aza matahotra; fa moa solon’ Andriamanitra va aho?

And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.

20 Hianareo no nisaina hanisy ratsy ahy; fa Andriamanitra kosa nisaina izany ho soa, hanao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, hamelona olona betsaka.

Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.

21 Koa ankehitriny, aza matahotra ianareo; fa izaho hamelona anareo sy ny zanakareo madinika. Dia nampionona azy sy nanao teny malefaka nahafinaritra azy izy.

Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.

22 Ary Josefa sy ny ankohonan’ ny rainy nonina tany Egypta; ary ny andro niainan’ i Josefa dia folo amby zato taona.

And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

23 Ary hitan’ i Josefa ny zafiafin’ i Efraima; ny zanak’ i Makira koa, zanakalahin’ i Manase, dia noraisin’ i Josefa ho eo am-pofoany.

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.

24 Ary hoy Josefa tamin’ ny rahalahiny: Ho faty aho; nefa Andriamanitra hamangy anareo tokoa ka hitondra anareo hiala amin’ ity tany ity ho any amin’ ny tany izay nianianany tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba homena azy.

Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.

25 Ary Josefa dia nampianiana ny zanak’ Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Hamangy anareo tokoa Andriamanitra, dia hitondra ny taolako hiala eto ianareo.

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.

26 Dia maty Josefa, rehefa folo amby zato taona; ary dia nohosorany zava-manitra izy ka napetrany tao anatin’ ny vata tany Egypta.

So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
