Genesis 50
1 Joseph, realizing this, fell upon his father’s face, weeping and kissing him.
Awo Yusufu n’agwa mu maaso ga kitaawe n’akaaba, n’amunywegera.
2 And he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
Yusufu n’alagira abaweereza be abasawo, okukalirira omulambo gwa kitaawe. Bwe batyo abasawo ne bakalirira omulambo gwa Isirayiri;
3 And while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him for seventy days.
baali beetaaga ennaku amakumi ana okukoleramu ekyo. Ezo ze nnaku ezakaliririrwangamu emirambo. Abamisiri ne bakungubagira Yakobo okumala ennaku nsanvu.
4 And when the time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of Pharaoh.
Awo ennaku ez’okukungubagiramu Yakobo bwe zaggwaako, Yusufu n’ayogera n’ennyumba ya Falaawo, n’agamba nti, “Obanga ndabye ekisa mu maaso gammwe munjogerereyo ewa Falaawo. Mumugambe nti,
5 For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
‘Kitange yandayiza ng’agamba nti, “Nnaatera okufa; mu ntaana yange gye nesimira mu nsi ya Kanani, omwo mw’onziikanga.” Kale kaakano mbasaba mundeke ŋŋende nziike kitange; oluvannyuma nkomewo.’”
6 And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”
Falaawo n’addamu nti, “Genda oziike kitaawo nga bwe yakulayiza.”
7 So as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in the land of Egypt,
Awo Yusufu n’ayambuka wamu n’abaweereza ba Falaawo bonna, n’abakulu b’ennyumba ye, n’abakulu ba Misiri bonna,
8 and the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
n’ab’ennyumba ya Yusufu, ne baganda be, n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe. Abaana bokka be baasigala mu Goseni n’ebisibo byabwe n’amagana gaabwe.
9 Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
N’agenda n’amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi era ekibiina kyali kinene nnyo.
10 And they arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
Bwe baatuuka ku gguuliro lya Atadi ng’osomose Yoludaani, ne bakungubaga okukungubaga okutagambika okujjudde ennaku; Yusufu n’akungubagira kitaawe okumala ennaku musanvu.
11 And when the inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
Abantu ab’omu nsi, Abakanani, bwe baalaba okukungubaga mu gguuliro lya Atadi ne bagamba nti, “Okukungubaga kuno kwa ntiisa eri Abamisiri.” Ekifo ekyo kyekyava kiyitibwa Aberumizirayimu, ekiri emitala wa Yoludaani.
12 And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.
Bwe batyo batabani ba Yakobo ne bakola nga bwe yabalagira.
13 And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite Mamre.
Baamwetikka ne bamutuusa mu Kanani, ne bamuziika mu mpuku eyali mu nnimiro ya Makupeera, okumpi ne Mamule, Ibulayimu gye yagula okuva ku Efulooni Omukiiti, aziikengamu abantu be.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.
Yusufu bwe yamala okuziika kitaawe n’addayo e Misiri wamu ne baganda be ne bonna abaayambuka naye okuziika kitaawe.
15 Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
Baganda ba Yusufu bwe baalaba nga kitaabwe afudde, ne bagamba nti, “Osanga Yusufu ajja kutukyawa yeesasuze olw’ebibi byonna bye twamukola.”
16 So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
Kyebaava bamutumira nga bagamba nti, “Kitaawo bwe yali tannafa yatulagira nti
17 that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
tugambanga Yusufu nti, ‘Nkusaba osonyiwe baganda bo bye bakusobya n’ekibi kyabwe, kubanga baasobya nnyo gy’oli.’ Kale nno kaakano tukusaba osonyiwe okusobya kw’abaweereza ba Katonda wa kitaawo.” Yusufu bwe baakimugamba n’akaaba.
18 And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
Baganda be ne bagenda gy’ali ne beeyala mu maaso ge ne bagamba nti, “Laba, tuli baddu bo.”
19 And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?
Naye Yusufu n’abagamba nti, “Temutya, nze ndi mu kifo kya Katonda?
20 You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
Mwagenderera okunnumya, naye Katonda n’akifuula ekirungi, n’akikozesa abantu baleme okufa.
21 Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
Noolwekyo temutya, nzija kubaliisa mmwe n’abaana bammwe.” Bw’atyo n’abagumya n’abazaamu amaanyi.
22 And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years.
Awo Yusufu n’abeera mu Misiri, ye n’ennyumba ya kitaawe. N’awangaala emyaka kikumi mu kkumi.
23 And he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto Joseph’s knees.
N’alaba abaana ba Efulayimu, abazzukulu ab’omugigi ogwokusatu. Era n’alaba n’aba Makiri mutabani wa Manase abaazaalirwa ku maviivi ga Yusufu.
24 After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Yusufu n’agamba baganda be nti, “Nnaatera okufa, naye Katonda alibakyalira n’abalinnyisa okubaggya mu nsi eno; n’abatwala mu nsi gye yalayirira Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo.”
25 And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
Awo Yusufu n’alayiza abaana ba Isirayiri ng’agamba nti, “Katonda alibakyalira, nammwe mulinyisanga amagumba gange okugaggya wano.”
26 he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
Bw’atyo Yusufu n’afa, ng’alina emyaka kikumi mu kkumi; ne bakalirira omulambo gwe n’ateekebwa mu ssanduuko mu Misiri.
