< Genesis 50 >
1 Josẹfu sì ṣubú lé baba rẹ̀, ó sọkún, ó sì fẹnukò ó ní ẹnu.
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu pàṣẹ fún àwọn oníṣègùn tí ó wà ní ìkáwọ́ rẹ̀ pé kí wọn kí ó ṣe òkú Israẹli baba rẹ̀ lọ́jọ̀, àwọn oníṣègùn náà sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 Fún ogójì ọjọ́ ni wọ́n fi ṣe èyí, nítorí èyí ni àsìkò tí a máa ń fi ṣe ẹ̀ǹbáàmù òkú. Àwọn ará Ejibiti sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ rẹ̀ fún àádọ́rin ọjọ́.
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten days.
4 Nígbà tí ọjọ́ ìṣọ̀fọ̀ náà kọjá. Josẹfu wí fún àwọn ará ilé Farao pé, “Bí mo bá bá ojúrere yín pàdé, ẹ bá mi sọ fún Farao.
And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: 'If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying:
5 ‘Baba mi mú mi búra ó sì wí fún mi pé, “Mo ti fẹ́rẹ kú: sinmi sínú ibojì tí mo gbẹ́ fún ara mi ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.” Nísinsin yìí, jẹ́ kí n lọ kí n sì sìnkú baba mi, lẹ́yìn náà èmi yóò padà wa.’”
My father made me swear, saying: Lo, I die; in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come back.'
6 Farao wí pé, “Gòkè lọ, kí o sì sin baba rẹ, bí ó tí mú ọ búra.”
And Pharaoh said: 'Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.'
7 Báyìí ni Josẹfu gòkè lọ láti sìnkú baba rẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè Farao ni ó sìn ín lọ—àwọn àgbàgbà ilé rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 Yàtọ̀ fún gbogbo àwọn ará ilé Josẹfu àti ti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ilé baba rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ wọn nìkan àti agbo ẹran pẹ̀lú agbo màlúù ni ó sẹ́ kù ní Goṣeni.
and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 Kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin pẹ̀lú gòkè lọ. Àìmoye ènìyàn ni ó lọ.
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company.
10 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ilẹ̀ ìpakà Atadi, ní ẹ̀bá Jordani, wọn pohùnréré ẹkún, níbẹ̀ ni Josẹfu sì tún dúró ṣọ̀fọ̀ baba rẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ méje.
And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they wailed with a very great and sore wailing; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 Nígbà tí àwọn ará Kenaani tí ń gbé níbẹ̀ rí i bí wọ́n ti ń ṣọ̀fọ̀ náà ni ilẹ̀ ìpakà Atadi, wọ́n wí pé, “Ọ̀fọ̀ ńlá ni àwọn ará Ejibiti ń ṣe yìí.” Ìdí èyí ni a fi ń pe ibẹ̀ ní Abeli-Misraimu. Kò sì jìnnà sí Jordani.
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said: 'This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians.' Wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Báyìí ni àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu ṣe ohun tí baba wọn pàṣẹ fún wọn.
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them.
13 Wọ́n gbé e lọ sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani, wọ́n sì sin ín sínú ihò àpáta tí ó wà ní oko Makpela, ní tòsí i Mamre tí Abrahamu rà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilẹ̀ ìsìnkú lọ́wọ́ Efroni ará Hiti, pẹ̀lú ilẹ̀ náà.
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, for a possession of a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, in front of Mamre.
14 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti sìnkú baba rẹ̀ tan, Josẹfu padà sí Ejibiti pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti àwọn mìíràn tí ó tẹ̀lé e lọ láti sin baba rẹ̀.
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 Nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu rí i pé baba wọn kú, wọ́n wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ bí ó bá ṣe pé Josẹfu ṣì fi wá sínú ń kọ́, tí ó sì fẹ́ gbẹ̀san gbogbo aburú tí a ti ṣe sí i?”
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said: 'It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him.'
16 Nítorí náà wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí Josẹfu wí pé, “Baba rẹ fi àṣẹ yìí sílẹ̀ kí ó tó lọ wí pé,
And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying: 'Thy father did command before he died, saying:
17 ‘Èyí ni kí ẹ̀yin kí ó sọ fún Josẹfu, mo bẹ̀ ọ́ kí o dáríjì àwọn arákùnrin rẹ, gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti aburú tí wọ́n ṣe sí ọ, èyí tí ó mú ibi bá ọ’. Nísinsin yìí, jọ̀wọ́ dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run baba rẹ jì wọ́n.” Nígbà tí iṣẹ́ ti wọ́n rán dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, Josẹfu sọkún.
So shall ye say unto Joseph: Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father.' And Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.
18 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ wá, wọ́n sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹrú rẹ ni a jẹ́.”
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said: 'Behold, we are thy bondmen.'
19 Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù, èmi ha wà ní ipò Ọlọ́run bí?
And Joseph said unto them: 'Fear not; for am I in the place of God?
20 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ gbèrò láti ṣe mi ní ibi, ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run gbèrò láti fi ṣe rere tí ń ṣe lọ́wọ́ yìí; ni gbígba ẹ̀mí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn là.
And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Nítorí náà, ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Èmi yóò pèsè fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ọmọ yín.” Ó tún fi wọ́n lọ́kàn balẹ̀, ó sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ rere fun wọn.
Now therefore fear ye not; I will sustain you, and your little ones.' And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.
22 Josẹfu sì ń gbé ní Ejibiti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀. Ó sì wà láààyè fún àádọ́fà ọdún.
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23 Ó sì rí ìran kẹta ọmọ Efraimu-Àwọn ọmọ Makiri, ọmọkùnrin Manase ni a sì gbé le eékún Josẹfu nígbà tí ó bí wọn.
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees.
24 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Mo ti fẹ́rẹ kú, ṣùgbọ́n dájúdájú Ọlọ́run yóò wá sí ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín, yóò sì mú un yín jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ yìí lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí ó ti ṣèlérí ní ìbúra fún Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu.”
And Joseph said unto his brethren: 'I die; but God will surely remember you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'
25 Josẹfu sì mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli búra májẹ̀mú kan wí pé, “Dájúdájú Ọlọ́run yóò wá sí ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín, nígbà náà ni ẹ gbọdọ̀ kó egungun mi lọ́wọ́ kúrò ní ìhín.”
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying: 'God will surely remember you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.'
26 Báyìí ni Josẹfu kú nígbà tí ó pé àádọ́fà ọdún. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ṣe òkú rẹ̀ lọ́jọ̀ tan, a gbé e sí inú pósí ní Ejibiti.
So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
