Uumama 50

1 Yoosefis abbaa isaa irratti kufee booʼeef; isa dhungates.

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

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

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

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

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

And Pharaoh said, —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 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 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 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 Gaariiwwanii fi warri farda yaabbatanis isa wajjin deeman. Tuunni sunis akka malee guddaa ture.

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

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 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 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 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 Ilmaan Yaaqoob akkuma inni isaan ajaje sana godhan;

And his sons did for him thus 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon 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 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 Yoosefis ijoollee Israaʼel kakachiisee akkana jedheen; “Waaqni dhugumaan dhufee isin gargaara; isinis lafee koo biyya kanaa ol baasuu qabdu.”

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

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