Uumama 50
1 Yoosefis abbaa isaa irratti kufee booʼeef; isa dhungates.
Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on 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;
Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and 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.
Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel 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:
When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak 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, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6 Faraʼoonis, “Dhaqiitii akkuma inni si kakachiise sanatti abbaa kee awwaalladhu” jedheen.
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
7 Yoosefis abbaa isaa awwaallachuu dhaqe. Qondaaltonni Faraʼoon hundinuu hangafoonni mana isaatii fi hangafoonni Gibxi hundi isa wajjin deeman.
Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, 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.
all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 Gaariiwwanii fi warri farda yaabbatanis isa wajjin deeman. Tuunni sunis akka malee guddaa ture.
Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.
10 Isaanis yommuu Yordaanos gama oobdii Axaad bira gaʼanitti sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii gadoodanii booʼan. Yoosefis achitti abbaa isaatiif guyyaa torba booʼe.
They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father 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.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Ilmaan Yaaqoob akkuma inni isaan ajaje sana godhan;
His sons did to him just as he 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.
for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.
14 Yoosef erga abbaa isaa awwaallatee booddee obboloota isaatii fi warra isa wajjin abbaa isaa awwaaluu dhaqan hunda wajjin Gibxitti deebiʼe.
Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went 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.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
16 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Yoosefitti dhaammatan; “Abbaan kee utuu hin duʼin dura akkana jedhee ajaje;
They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded 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.
‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Obboloonni isaas dhufanii fuula isaa duratti lafa dhaʼanii, “Kunoo nu garboota kee ti” jedhan.
His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 Yoosef garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa. Anatu iddoo Waaqaa buʼaa?
Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for 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, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
21 Egaa hin sodaatinaa. Ani isinii fi ijoollee keessan nan sooraatii.” Innis waan garaa isaan ciibsu isaanitti dubbatee isaan jajjabeesse.
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Yoosef maatii abbaa isaa wajjin Gibxi keessa ture. Innis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhan jiraate.
Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
23 Dhaloota sadaffaa ijoollee Efreem arge. Akkasumas ilmaan Maakiir ilma Minaasee jilba Yoosef irratti dhalatan.
Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, 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.”
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore 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.”
Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
26 Yoosefis waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe. Jarris qorichaan sukkuumanii Gibxitti sanduuqa reeffaa keessa isa kaaʼan.
So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
