Uumama 50
1 Yoosefis abbaa isaa irratti kufee booʼeef; isa dhungates.
And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon 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 he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
3 waan kana gochuun bultii afurtama guutuu isaanitti fudhate; yeroon qoricha reeffa dibuuf barbaachisu kana tureetii. Warri Gibxiis bultii torbaatama isaaf booʼan.
And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him 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 the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
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.’”
For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
6 Faraʼoonis, “Dhaqiitii akkuma inni si kakachiise sanatti abbaa kee awwaalladhu” jedheen.
And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
7 Yoosefis abbaa isaa awwaallachuu dhaqe. Qondaaltonni Faraʼoon hundinuu hangafoonni mana isaatii fi hangafoonni Gibxi hundi isa wajjin deeman.
So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, and all the elders 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 the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
9 Gaariiwwanii fi warri farda yaabbatanis isa wajjin deeman. Tuunni sunis akka malee guddaa ture.
He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.
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 threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full 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 inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
12 Ilmaan Yaaqoob akkuma inni isaan ajaje sana godhan;
So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
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.
And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
14 Yoosef erga abbaa isaa awwaallatee booddee obboloota isaatii fi warra isa wajjin abbaa isaa awwaaluu dhaqan hunda wajjin Gibxitti deebiʼe.
And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
15 Obboloonni Yoosef erga abbaan isaanii duʼee booddee, “Yoo Yoosef hamaa nu isatti hojjennee hundaaf haaloo qabatee haaloo nutti baʼe hoo?” jedhan.
Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
16 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Yoosefitti dhaammatan; “Abbaan kee utuu hin duʼin dura akkana jedhee ajaje;
And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
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.
That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
18 Obboloonni isaas dhufanii fuula isaa duratti lafa dhaʼanii, “Kunoo nu garboota kee ti” jedhan.
And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
19 Yoosef garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa. Anatu iddoo Waaqaa buʼaa?
And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
20 Isin hamaa natti yaaddan; Waaqni garuu akkuma amma taʼee jiru kana lubbuu nama baayʼee baraaruuf jedhee waan gaariif yaade.
You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
21 Egaa hin sodaatinaa. Ani isinii fi ijoollee keessan nan sooraatii.” Innis waan garaa isaan ciibsu isaanitti dubbatee isaan jajjabeesse.
Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
22 Yoosef maatii abbaa isaa wajjin Gibxi keessa ture. Innis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhan jiraate.
And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years.
23 Dhaloota sadaffaa ijoollee Efreem arge. Akkasumas ilmaan Maakiir ilma Minaasee jilba Yoosef irratti dhalatan.
And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born 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.”
After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 Yoosefis ijoollee Israaʼel kakachiisee akkana jedheen; “Waaqni dhugumaan dhufee isin gargaara; isinis lafee koo biyya kanaa ol baasuu qabdu.”
And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:
26 Yoosefis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe. Jarris qorichaan sukkuumanii Gibxitti sanduuqa reeffaa keessa isa kaaʼan.
And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
