Genesisy 50
1 Ary Josefa nihohoka tamin’ ny tavan’ ny rainy ka nitomany teo amboniny sady nanoroka azy.
Then Joseph was so distressed that he collapsed on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he kissed him.
2 Ary nasain’ i Josefa nanosotra zava-manitra an-drainy ny mpanompony izay mpanao fanafody; dia nanosotra an’ Isiraely ny mpanao fanafody.
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.
They took forty days, for that was the full time for embalming. 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:
When the days of weeping were over, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak to 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, “See, I am about to die. Bury me in my tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. There you will bury me.” Now let me go up and bury my father, and then I will return.'”
6 Ary hoy Farao: Miakara ary, ka aleveno ny rainao araka izay nampianianany anao.
Pharaoh answered, “Go and bury your father, as he made you 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,
Joseph went up to bury his father. All the officials of Pharaoh went with him—the elders of his household, all the senior officials 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.
with all Joseph's household and his brothers, and his father's household. But their children, their flocks, and their herds were left in the land of Goshen.
9 Ary nisy kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly niara-niakatra taminy koa, ka lehibe dia lehibe ny tobiny.
Chariots and horsemen also went with him. It was a very large group of people.
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.
When they came to the threshing floor of Atad on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned with very great and grievous sorrow. There Joseph made a seven-day mourning for his father.
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.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion for the Egyptians.” That is why the place was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Jakoba nanao taminy araka izay nandidiany azy,
So his sons did for Jacob just as he had instructed 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.
His sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave with the field for a burial place. He had bought it from Ephron the Hittite.
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.
After he had buried his father, Joseph returned into Egypt, he, along with his brothers, and all who had accompanied him to bury 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.
When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds on to anger against us and wants to repay us in full for all the evil we did to him?”
16 Dia naniraka nankany amin’ i Josefa izy ka nanao hoe: Ny rainao nanafatra, fony izy tsy mbola maty,
So they commanded the presence of Joseph, saying, “Your father gave instructions 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.
'Tell Joseph this, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin when they did evil to you.”' Now please forgive the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Koa nanatona azy ny rahalahiny, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay ho mpanomponao.
His brothers also went and lay facedown before him. They said, “See, we are your servants.”
19 Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Aza matahotra; fa moa solon’ Andriamanitra va aho?
But Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
20 Hianareo no nisaina hanisy ratsy ahy; fa Andriamanitra kosa nisaina izany ho soa, hanao tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao, hamelona olona betsaka.
As for you, you meant to harm me, but God meant it for good, to preserve the lives of many people, as you see today.
21 Koa ankehitriny, aza matahotra ianareo; fa izaho hamelona anareo sy ny zanakareo madinika. Dia nampionona azy sy nanao teny malefaka nahafinaritra azy izy.
So now do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” He comforted them in this way and spoke kindly to their hearts.
22 Ary Josefa sy ny ankohonan’ ny rainy nonina tany Egypta; ary ny andro niainan’ i Josefa dia folo amby zato taona.
Joseph lived in Egypt, together with his father's family. He lived one hundred 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.
Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. He also saw the children of Machir son of Manasseh, who were placed on the knees of Joseph.
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.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die; but God will surely come to you and lead you up out of this land to the land which he swore to give 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 people of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. At that time you must carry up my bones from here.”
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, 110 years old. They embalmed him and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
