उत्पत्ति 50
1 तब योसेफ यति व्याकुल भए कि तिनी आफ्ना बुबाको अनुहारमाथि घोप्टो परेर रोए, र तिनलाई चुम्बन गरे ।
Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him and kissing him.
2 तब योसेफले आफ्नो सेवामा हुने वैद्यहरूलाई आफ्ना पिताको लाशमा सुगन्धित लेप दल्न लगाए । यसकारण ती वैद्यहरूले इस्राएलको लाशमा सुगन्धित लेप दले ।
Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 यसको निम्ति चालिस दिन लागेको थियो, किनकि सुगन्धित लेप लगाउँदा लाग्ने पुरा समय यति नै थियो । तिनको निम्ति मिश्रीहरूले सत्तरी दिन शोक मनाए ।
This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 days.
4 शोक मनाउने दिन बितेपछि योसेफले फारोका भारदारहरूसँग यसरी कुरा गरे, “यदि ममाथि तपाईंहरूको निगाह छ भने कृपा गरी यो मेरो कुरा फारोकहाँ लगिदिनुहोस् ।
Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
5 मेरा बुबाले मलाई यसो भनेर शपथ खान लाउनुभयो: ‘म मर्न लागेको छु । कनान देशमा म आफैले खनेर बनाएको मेरो चिहानमा मलाई गाड्नू । तैँले मलाई त्यहीँ गाड्नेछस् ।’ यसकारण गएर मेरा बुबालाई त्यहीँ गाड्न दिनुहोस्, र त्यसपछि म फर्केर आउनेछु।”
my father made me swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
6 फारोले जवाफ दिए, “तिमीलाई उनले शपथ खान लाएबमोजिम गएर तिम्रा बुबालाई गाड ।”
Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
7 योसेफ आफ्ना बुबालाई गाड्न गए । तिनका साथमा फारोका सारा अधिकारीहरू, उनका भारदारहरू र मिश्रका सबै मुख्य मानिसहरू, साथै
Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders of Egypt—
8 योसेफका परिवारका सबै र तिनका दाजुभाइहरू र तिनका बुबाका परिवारका सबै गए । तर तिनीहरूका बालबच्चा, तिनीहरूका बगाल र बथानहरू गोशेन प्रदेशमा नै छोडिए ।
as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
9 तिनका साथमा रथहरू र घोडचढीहरू पनि गए । त्यो एउटा ठुलो मानिसहरूको समूह थियो ।
They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
10 जब तिनीहरू यर्दननेरको आतादको खलामा आइपुगे, तब तिनीहरूले साह्रै अफसोस गरेर रुवाबासी गरे । अनि त्यहाँ योसेफले सात दिनसम्म आफ्ना बुबाको निम्ति शोक गरे ।
When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
11 त्यस देशका बासिन्दा कनानीहरूले आतादको खलामा गरेको शोक देखेर भने, “यो त मिश्रीहरूको निम्ति ठुलो शोकको बेला रहेछ ।” यसकारण यर्दननेरको त्यस ठाउँको नाउँ हाबिल-मिश्रइम राखियो । त्यो यर्दन पारिपट्टि छ ।
The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
12 यसरी याकूबले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेबमोजिम छोराहरूले गरे ।
Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them to do.
13 तिनका छोराहरूले तिनलाई कनानसम्मै पुर्याए, र हित्ती एप्रोनसँग खेतसहित अब्राहामले चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेको ओडार, अर्थात् मम्रेनेरको मक्पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडारमा तिनलाई गाडे ।
They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
14 आफ्ना बुबालाई गाडिसकेपछि आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरू र आफ्ना बुबालाई गाड्न तिनीसँग गएका सबैका साथमा योसेफ मिश्रमा फर्के ।
After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
15 बुबाको मृत्यु भएको देखेर योसेफका दाजुभाइहरूले आपसमा भने, “शायद अब योसेफले हामीसँग दुश्मनी गरेर हामीले तिनलाई गरेका सबै खराबीको बदला लिए भने?”
However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things we did to him.”
16 यसैकारण उनीहरूले यसो भनेर योसेफकहाँ खबर पठाए, “मर्नुभन्दा अगि तपाईंका बुबाले यस्तो आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो
So they sent a message to Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
17 ‘तिमीहरूले योसेफलाई यसो भन, कृपा गरी तिम्रा दाजुहरूले तिमीसँग खराबी गरेकामा तिम्रा दाजुहरूका अपराध क्षमा गर’ ।” “अब बिन्ती छ, कृपा गरी तपाईंका बुबाका परमेश्वरका दासहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नुहोस् ।” उनीहरूले यति भनेपछि योसेफ रोए ।
‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
18 तिनका दाजुहरू पनि आएर तिनका सामुन्ने घोप्टो परे । तिनीहरूले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, हामी तपाईंका दास हौँ ।”
Then his brothers themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
19 तर योसेफले उनीहरूलाई भने, “नडराउनुहोस् । के म परमेश्वरको स्थानमा छु र?
“You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
20 तपाईंहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा हानि गर्ने विचार गर्नुभयो, तर परमेश्वरले त्यसैद्वारा भलाइ गर्ने विचार गर्नुभयो, धेरै मानिसहरूलाई बचाउनको निम्ति, जुन तपाईंहरूले आज देख्नुहुन्छ ।
While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
21 यसकारण नडराउनुहोस्, तपाईंहरू र तपाईंहरूका बालबच्चालाई चाहिने कुराको बन्दोबस्त म गर्नेछु ।” यसरी तिनले उनीहरूलाई ढाडस दिए र तिनीहरूसँग विनम्रतासँग बोले ।
So don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
22 योसेफ तिनका बुबाका परिवारहरूसँगै मिश्रमा बसे । तिनी एक सय दस वर्ष बाँचे ।
Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
23 योसेफले एफ्राइमको पनातिसम्म पनि देखे । तिनले मनश्शेका छोरा माकीरका भर्खर जन्मेका बालबच्चा पनि देखे, र तिनीहरू योसेफकै घुँडामा राखिए ।
and saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
24 तब योसेफले आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरूलाई भने, “मेरो मर्ने बेला भयो, तर परमेश्वर अवश्यनै तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनुहुनेछ, र उहाँले अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबसित शपथ खाएर प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको देशमा यस देशबाट तिमीहरूलाई निकालेर लैजानुहुनेछ ।”
“I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
25 अनि योसेफले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई शपथ खान लगाए । उनले भने, “परमेश्वर अवश्यनै तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनुहुनेछ। त्यो बेला तिमीहरूले मेरा अस्थिहरू यहाँबाट लैजानू ।”
Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
26 यसरी योसेफ एक सय दस वर्षको भएर मरे, र उनीहरूले तिनको लाश सुगन्धित लेप दलेर बाकसमा हालेर मिश्रमा नै राखे ।
Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
