< Genesis 50 >
1 Josẹfu sì ṣubú lé baba rẹ̀, ó sọkún, ó sì fẹnukò ó ní ẹnu.
And Joseph falls on his father’s face, and weeps over him, and kisses 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 commands his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm 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 they fulfill for him forty days, for so they fulfill the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy 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 the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaks to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, please speak 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 caused me to swear, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there you bury me; and now, please let me go up and bury my father, then I return”;
6 Farao wí pé, “Gòkè lọ, kí o sì sin baba rẹ, bí ó tí mú ọ búra.”
and Pharaoh says, “Go up and bury your father, as he caused you to 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 goes up to bury his father, and all [the] servants of Pharaoh go up with him, [the] elderly of his house, and all [the] elderly 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 brothers, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen;
9 Kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin pẹ̀lú gòkè lọ. Àìmoye ènìyàn ni ó lọ.
and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
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 come to the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he makes for his father a mourning 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 the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, sees the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad and says, “A grievous mourning [is] this to the Egyptians”; therefore [one] has called its name “The mourning of the Egyptians,” which [is] beyond the Jordan.
12 Báyìí ni àwọn ọmọ Jakọbu ṣe ohun tí baba wọn pàṣẹ fún wọn.
And his sons do to him so 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.
and his sons carry him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the 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 turns back to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying 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 the brothers of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, “Perhaps Joseph hates us, and certainly returns to us all the evil which we did with him.”
16 Nítorí náà wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí Josẹfu wí pé, “Baba rẹ fi àṣẹ yìí sílẹ̀ kí ó tó lọ wí pé,
And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, 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.
Thus you say to Joseph: Ah, now, please bear with the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they have done you evil; and now, please bear with the transgression of the servants of the God of your father”; and Joseph weeps in their speaking to him.
18 Àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ wá, wọ́n sì wólẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, wọ́n wí pé, “Ẹrú rẹ ni a jẹ́.”
And his brothers also go and fall before him, and say, “Behold, we [are] to you for servants.”
19 Ṣùgbọ́n Josẹfu wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù, èmi ha wà ní ipò Ọlọ́run bí?
And Joseph says to them, “Do not fear, 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.
As for you, you devised evil against me, [but] God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
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.
and now, do not fear: I nourish you and your infants”; and he comforts them, and speaks to their heart.
22 Josẹfu sì ń gbé ní Ejibiti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀. Ó sì wà láààyè fún àádọ́fà ọdún.
And Joseph dwells in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph lives one 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 looks on Ephraim’s sons of a third [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.
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 says to his brothers, “I am dying, and God certainly inspects you, and has caused you to go up from this land, to the land which He has sworn 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 causes the sons of Israel to swear, saying, “God certainly inspects you, and you have brought up my bones from this [place].”
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.
And Joseph dies, a son of one hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
