< Mwanzo 50 >
1 Basi Yosefu akamwangukia baba yake, akalilia juu yake na akambusu.
And he fell Joseph on [the] face of father his and he wept over him and he kissed him.
2 Ndipo Yosefu akawaagiza matabibu waliokuwa wakimhudumia, wamtie baba yake Israeli dawa ili asioze. Hivyo matabibu wakamtia dawa asioze,
And he commanded Joseph servants his the physicians to embalm father his and they embalmed the physicians Israel.
3 wakatumia siku arobaini, kwa maana ndio muda uliotakiwa wa kutia dawa ili asioze. Nao Wamisri wakamwombolezea Yakobo kwa siku sabini.
And they were completed for him forty day[s] for thus they were completed [the] days of the embalming and they wept for him Egypt seventy day[s].
4 Siku za kumwombolezea zilipokwisha, Yosefu akawaambia washauri wa Farao, “Kama nimepata kibali machoni penu semeni na Farao kwa ajili yangu. Mwambieni,
And they passed [the] days of weeping his and he spoke Joseph to [the] household of Pharaoh saying if please I have found favor in view your speak please in [the] ears of Pharaoh saying.
5 ‘Baba yangu aliniapisha na kuniambia, “Mimi niko karibu kufa; unizike katika kaburi lile nililochimba kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe katika nchi ya Kanaani.” Sasa nakuomba uniruhusu niende kumzika baba yangu, nami nitarudi.’”
Father my he made swear an oath me saying here! I [am] about to die in grave my which I dug for myself in [the] land of Canaan there you will bury me and therefore let me go up please so I may bury father my and I will return.
6 Farao akasema, “Panda, uende kumzika baba yako, kama alivyokuapiza kufanya.”
And he said Pharaoh go up and bury father your just as he made swear you.
7 Hivyo Yosefu akapanda kwenda kumzika baba yake. Maafisa wote wa Farao wakaenda pamoja naye, watu mashuhuri wa baraza lake na watu mashuhuri wote wa Misri.
And he went up Joseph to bury father his and they went up with him all [the] servants of Pharaoh [the] elders of household his and all [the] elders of [the] land of Egypt.
8 Hawa ni mbali na watu wote wa nyumbani kwa Yosefu, na ndugu zake, na wale wote wa nyumbani mwa baba yake. Ni watoto wao, makundi yao ya kondoo, mbuzi na ngʼombe tu waliobakia katika nchi ya Gosheni.
And all [the] household of Joseph and brothers his and [the] household of father his only little one[s] their and sheep their and cattle their they left in [the] land of Goshen.
9 Magari makubwa na wapanda farasi pia walipanda pamoja naye. Likawa kundi kubwa sana.
And it went up with him both chariotry as well as horsemen and it was the company numerous very.
10 Walipofika kwenye sakafu ya kupuria nafaka ya Atadi, karibu na Yordani, wakalia kwa sauti na kwa uchungu; Yosefu akapumzika huko kwa siku saba kumwombolezea baba yake.
And they came to [the] threshing floor of Atad which [is] on [the] other side of the Jordan and they lamented there a lament great and heavy very and he made for father his mourning seven days.
11 Wakanaani walioishi huko walipoona maombolezo yaliyofanyika katika sakafu ile ya kupuria ya Atadi, wakasema, “Wamisri wanafanya maombolezo makubwa.” Kwa hiyo mahali pale karibu na Yordani pakaitwa Abel-Mizraimu.
And he saw [the] inhabitant[s] of the land the Canaanite[s] the mourning at [the] threshing floor of Atad and they said [is] mourning heavy this for Egypt there-fore someone called name its Abel Mizraim which [is] on [the] other side of the Jordan.
12 Hivyo wana wa Yakobo wakafanya kama baba yao alivyowaagiza:
And they did sons his for him thus just as he had commanded them.
13 Wakamchukua mpaka nchi ya Kanaani, wakamzika kwenye pango katika shamba la Makpela, karibu na Mamre, ambalo Abrahamu alilinunua kutoka kwa Efroni, Mhiti, pamoja na shamba liwe mahali pa kuzikia.
And they carried him sons his [the] land of towards Canaan and they buried him in [the] cave of [the] field of Machpelah which he had bought Abraham the field to a possession of a burial site from with Ephron the Hittite on [the] face of Mamre.
14 Baada ya Yosefu kumzika baba yake, akarudi Misri pamoja na ndugu zake na wale wote waliokuwa wamekwenda naye kumzika baba yake.
And he went back Joseph Egypt towards he and brothers his and all those [who] had gone up with him to bury father his after had buried he father his.
15 Ndugu zake Yosefu walipoona kwamba baba yao amekufa, wakasema, “Itakuwaje kama Yosefu ataweka kinyongo dhidi yetu na kutulipa mabaya yote tuliyomtendea?”
And they saw [the] brothers of Joseph that he had died father their and they said if he will bear a grudge us Joseph and certainly he will repay to us all the harm which we dealt out to him.
16 Kwa hiyo wakampelekea Yosefu ujumbe, wakasema, “Kabla baba yako hajafa aliacha maagizo haya:
And they commanded to Joseph saying father your he commanded before death his saying.
17 ‘Hili ndilo mtakalomwambia Yosefu: Ninakuomba uwasamehe ndugu zako dhambi na mabaya kwa vile walivyokutenda vibaya.’ Sasa tafadhali samehe dhambi za watumishi wa Mungu wa baba yako.” Ujumbe huu ulipomfikia, Yosefu akalia.
Thus you will say to Joseph we beg you forgive please [the] transgression of brothers your and sin their for evil they dealt out to you and now forgive please to [the] transgression of [the] servants of [the] God of father your and he wept Joseph when spoke they to him.
18 Ndipo ndugu zake wakaja na kujitupa chini mbele yake. Wakasema, “Sisi ni watumwa wako.”
And they went also brothers his and they fell before him and they said here we [belong] to you to slaves.
19 Lakini Yosefu akawaambia, “Msiogope. Je, mimi ni badala ya Mungu?
And he said to them Joseph may not you fear that ¿ in place of God [am] I.
20 Mlikusudia kunidhuru, lakini Mungu alikusudia mema, ili litimie hili linalofanyika sasa, kuokoa maisha ya watu wengi.
And you you planned on me harm God he planned it for good so as to act as the day this to preserve alive a people numerous.
21 Hivyo basi, msiogope. Mimi nitawatunza ninyi nyote pamoja na watoto wenu.” Akawahakikishia na kusema nao kwa wema.
And therefore may not you fear I I will provide for you and little one[s] your and he comforted them and he spoke to heart their.
22 Yosefu akakaa katika nchi ya Misri, yeye pamoja na jamaa yote ya baba yake. Akaishi miaka 110,
And he remained Joseph in Egypt he and [the] household of father his and he lived Joseph one hundred and ten years.
23 naye akaona kizazi cha tatu cha watoto wa Efraimu. Pia akaona watoto wa Makiri mwana wa Manase, wakawekwa magotini mwa Yosefu walipozaliwa.
And he saw Joseph of Ephraim sons of a third generation also [the] sons of Makir [the] son of Manasseh they were born on [the] knees of Joseph.
24 Ndipo Yosefu akawaambia ndugu zake, “Mimi ninakaribia kufa. Lakini kwa hakika Mungu atawasaidia na kuwachukueni kutoka nchi hii na kuwapeleka katika nchi aliyomwahidi kwa kiapo Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo.”
And he said Joseph to brothers his I [am] about to die and God certainly he will visit you and he will bring up you from the land this to the land which he swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.
25 Naye Yosefu akawaapisha wana wa Israeli na kuwaambia, “Hakika Mungu atawasaidia, nanyi ni lazima mhakikishe mmepandisha mifupa yangu kutoka mahali hapa.”
And he made to swear an oath Joseph [the] sons of Israel saying certainly he will visit God you and you will bring up bones my from here.
26 Kwa hiyo Yosefu akafa akiwa na umri wa miaka 110. Baada ya kumtia dawa ili asioze, akawekwa kwenye jeneza huko Misri.
And he died Joseph a son of one hundred and ten years and people embalmed him and he was put in the coffin in Egypt.
