Uumama 50

1 Yoosefis abbaa isaa irratti kufee booʼeef; isa dhungates.

And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.

2 Ergasii immoo Yoosef tajaajiltoota isaa kanneen ogeessota fayyaa taʼan akka isaan reeffa abbaa isaa qorichaan sukkuuman ajaje; jarris reeffa Israaʼel qorichaan sukkuuman;

And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

3 waan kana gochuun bultii afurtama guutuu isaanitti fudhate; yeroon qoricha reeffa dibuuf barbaachisu kana tureetii. Warri Gibxiis bultii torbaatama isaaf booʼan.

And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.

4 Guyyoonni gaddaa darbinaan Yoosef warra mana Faraʼoon jiraataniin akkana jedhe; “Yoo ani fuula keessan duratti fudhatama argadheera taʼe, akkana jedhaatii Faraʼoonitti naa himaa:

And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:

5 ‘Abbaan koo akkana jedhee na kakachiiseera; “Kunoo ani duʼuu gaʼeera; awwaala ani biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti ofii kootiif qotadhetti na awwaalaa.” Kanaafuu maaloo ani amma dhaqee abbaa koo nan awwaalladha; ergasii immoo nan deebiʼa.’”

My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

6 Faraʼoonis, “Dhaqiitii akkuma inni si kakachiise sanatti abbaa kee awwaalladhu” jedheen.

And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.

7 Yoosefis abbaa isaa awwaallachuu dhaqe. Qondaaltonni Faraʼoon hundinuu hangafoonni mana isaatii fi hangafoonni Gibxi hundi isa wajjin deeman.

So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

8 Akkasumas warri mana Yoosef jiraatan, obboloota isaatii fi warri mana abbaa isaa jiraatan hundi isa wajjin deeman. Ijoollee isaanii, bushaayee isaaniitii fi loon isaanii qofattu, Gooshenitti hafe.

And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

9 Gaariiwwanii fi warri farda yaabbatanis isa wajjin deeman. Tuunni sunis akka malee guddaa ture.

And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.

10 Isaanis yommuu Yordaanos gama oobdii Axaad bira gaʼanitti sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii gadoodanii booʼan. Yoosefis achitti abbaa isaatiif guyyaa torba booʼe.

And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

11 Namoonni Kanaʼaan warri achi jiraachaa turan booʼicha oobdii Axaad biratti booʼame sana arganii, “Booʼichi kun warra Gibxiitiif booʼicha guddaa dha” jedhan. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Abeel Misraayim jedhamee moggaafame. Iddoon sunis Yordaanos gamatti argama.

And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

12 Ilmaan Yaaqoob akkuma inni isaan ajaje sana godhan;

So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:

13 isaanis biyya Kanaʼaanitti isa geessanii holqa Mamree biratti lafa qotiisaa Makfelaa keessatti argamu kan Abrahaam iddoo awwaalaa godhachuudhaaf Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sana irra lafa qotiisaa wajjin bitate sanatti awwaalan.

For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.

14 Yoosef erga abbaa isaa awwaallatee booddee obboloota isaatii fi warra isa wajjin abbaa isaa awwaaluu dhaqan hunda wajjin Gibxitti deebiʼe.

And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.

15 Obboloonni Yoosef erga abbaan isaanii duʼee booddee, “Yoo Yoosef hamaa nu isatti hojjennee hundaaf haaloo qabatee haaloo nutti baʼe hoo?” jedhan.

Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

16 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Yoosefitti dhaammatan; “Abbaan kee utuu hin duʼin dura akkana jedhee ajaje;

So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,

17 ‘Isin akkana jedhaa Yoosefitti himaa; ani akka ati cubbuu fi balleessaa obboloonni kee si miidhuuf jedhanii sitti hojjetan sana isaanii dhiiftu sin kadhadha.’ Maaloo cubbuu tajaajiltoota Waaqa abbaa keetii dhiisi.” Yoosefis yommuu ergaa isaanii dhagaʼetti ni booʼe.

You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.

18 Obboloonni isaas dhufanii fuula isaa duratti lafa dhaʼanii, “Kunoo nu garboota kee ti” jedhan.

Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.

19 Yoosef garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa. Anatu iddoo Waaqaa buʼaa?

And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?

20 Isin hamaa natti yaaddan; Waaqni garuu akkuma amma taʼee jiru kana lubbuu nama baayʼee baraaruuf jedhee waan gaariif yaade.

As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.

21 Egaa hin sodaatinaa. Ani isinii fi ijoollee keessan nan sooraatii.” Innis waan garaa isaan ciibsu isaanitti dubbatee isaan jajjabeesse.

So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.

22 Yoosef maatii abbaa isaa wajjin Gibxi keessa ture. Innis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhan jiraate.

Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.

23 Dhaloota sadaffaa ijoollee Efreem arge. Akkasumas ilmaan Maakiir ilma Minaasee jilba Yoosef irratti dhalatan.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

24 Yoosefis obboloota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani duʼuu gaʼeera. Waaqni garuu dhugumaan dhufee isin gargaara; biyya kanaa isin baasees gara biyya Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif kakuun waadaa gale sanaatti isin geessa.”

Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.

25 Yoosefis ijoollee Israaʼel kakachiisee akkana jedheen; “Waaqni dhugumaan dhufee isin gargaara; isinis lafee koo biyya kanaa ol baasuu qabdu.”

Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.

26 Yoosefis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe. Jarris qorichaan sukkuumanii Gibxitti sanduuqa reeffaa keessa isa kaaʼan.

So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.
