Jenesis 50

1 Josef dakwasịrị nʼihu nna ya, kwaa akwa, sutukwa ya ọnụ.

And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

2 Josef nyere iwu, ka ndị dibịa na-ejere ya ozi gbasie ozu nna ya. Ya mere, ndị dibịa ahụ gbasikwara Izrel.

And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 O were ha iri ụbọchị anọ ịgbasi ozu, nʼihi na nke a bụ oge o kwesiri iwe ha ime ya. Mgbe nke a gasịrị, a kwara ya nʼala Ijipt iri ụbọchị asaa.

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4 Mgbe oge iru ụjụ gafesịrị, Josef gwara ndị ụlọ Fero sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na m ahụtala amara nʼihu unu, biko, gwaranụ m Fero otu a, sị ya,

And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 ‘Nna m mere ka m ṅụọra ya iyi mgbe ọ na-anwụ, sị, “Lee, agala m ịnwụ, ị ga-eli m nʼili m, nke m gwuuru onwe m nʼala Kenan.” Ugbu a, biko ka m gaa lie nna m, ma lọghachikwa.’”

My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

6 Fero zara sị ya, “Gaa lie nna gị dịka o mere ka ị ṅụọ iyi na ị ga-eme.”

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

7 Ya mere, Josef gara ili nna ya. Ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ sokwa ya. Ndịisi ọchịchị Fero, na ndị okenye ụlọ ya, na ndị okenye a ma ama nʼala Ijipt.

And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 Ndị ọzọ bụkwa ndị ụlọ Josef niile, ụmụnne ya, na ndị ụlọ nna ya. Naanị ụmụntakịrị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, na igwe ehi ha, ka ha hapụrụ nʼala Goshen.

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 Ma ịnyịnya ụgbọ na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya, so ya gaa. Igwe mmadụ gara ije a buru ibu nke ukwuu.

And there went with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

10 Mgbe ha ruru ebe ịzọcha ọka nke Atad, nʼofe ọzọ nke Jọdan, ha weere iti aka nʼobi dị ukwuu tie aka nʼobi ha nʼebe ahụ. Josef ruru ụjụ ụbọchị asaa maka nna ya nʼebe ahụ.

And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very grievous lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

11 Mgbe ndị bi nʼala Kenan hụrụ oke iru ụjụ nke ebe ịzọcha ọka nke Atad ahụ, ha sịrị, “Nke a bụụrụ ndị Ijipt iru ụjụ dị ukwuu.” Nʼihi nke a, ha kpọrọ ebe ahụ dị nso na Jọdan Ebel-Mizraim.

And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the threshingfloor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: therefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

12 Ụmụ Jekọb mere dịka nna ha gwara ha.

And his sons did to him according as he commanded them:

13 Nʼihi na ha buuru ozu ya laa nʼala Kenan, lie ya nʼọgba ahụ dị nʼọhịa Makipela, nke bụ ala ubi Ebraham zụrụ dịka ala olili ozu, site nʼaka Efrọn, onye Het; nʼakụkụ Mamre.

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 buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 Emesịa, Josef laghachiri Ijipt ya na ụmụnne ya, na ndị niile sooro ya gaa olili ozu nna ya, ngwangwa elichara nna ya.

And Joseph returned to Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 Mgbe ụmụnne Josef hụrụ na nna ha anwụọla, ha sịrị, “Eleghị anya Josef ga-akpọ anyị asị, kwụghachi anyị ụgwọ ihe ọjọọ niile anyị mere ya?”

And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will perhaps hate us, and will certainly repay us all the evil which we did to him.

16 Nʼihi nke a, ha zipụrụ Josef ozi sị, “Nna gị nyere iwu a tupu ọ nwụọ.

And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,

17 ‘Gwa Josef sị ya, Arịọọ m gị, gbaghara ihe ọjọọ niile ụmụnne gị mere, na mmehie ha mere megide gị.’ Ugbu a, gbaghara mmehie anyị bụ ndị ohu Chineke nna gị.” Mgbe Josef nụrụ ihe ha kwuru, ọ kwara akwa.

So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

18 Ụmụnne ya bịakwara daa nʼihu ya, sị, “Anyị bụ ndị ohu gị.”

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are thy servants.

19 Ma Josef sịrị ha, “Unu atụla egwu. Abụ m Chineke onye na-ekpe ikpe nke m ga-eji taa unu ahụhụ?

And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

20 Ọ bụ ezie na unu chere ime m ihe ọjọọ, ma Chineke chere ya ka ọ bụrụ ezi ihe, iji debe ọtụtụ ndụ dịka ọ na-eme taa.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.

21 Ya mere, ụjọ atụla unu. Mụ onwe m ga-azụ unu na ụmụntakịrị unu.” Ọ kasịrị ha obi, gwa ha okwu bara ha nʼobi.

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 Josef biri nʼIjipt, ya na ụmụnne ya, na ndị ụlọ ha. Josef gbara narị afọ na iri.

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

23 Josef hụrụ ụmụ Ifrem, na ụmụ ụmụ ya. Ọ nọkwa ndụ hụ ụmụ Makia nwa Manase, ndị e kukwasịrị nʼikpere ya.

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.

24 Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị ụmụnne ya, “Agala m ịnwụ, ma Chineke ga-abịa ileta unu. Ọ ga-esi nʼala a kpọpụta unu kpọgakwa unu nʼala ahụ ọ ṅụụrụ Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb iyi, na ọ ga-enye ha.”

And Joseph said to his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

25 Mgbe ahụ, Josef mere ka ụmụ Izrel ṅụọrọ ya iyi sị, “Mgbe Chineke bịara ileta unu, unu aghaghị ị site nʼebe a chịkọrọ ọkpụkpụ m.”

And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from here.

26 Josef nwụrụ mgbe ọ gbara narị afọ na iri. Ha gbasiri ozu ya, tinye ya nʼime igbe ozu, nʼala Ijipt.

So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
