< Genesis 50 >

1 Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
Jozefi amibwakaki na nzoto ya tata na ye, alelaki ye mpe apesaki ye beze.
2 And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
Bongo Jozefi apesaki mitindo na minganga oyo bazalaki kosala epai na ye ete bakawusa nzoto ya Isalaele, tata na ye. Boye minganga bakawusaki nzoto ya Isalaele,
3 So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes.
bakokisaki mikolo tuku minei oyo esengelaki mpo na kokawusa nzoto ya mowei. Bato ya Ejipito basalelaki ye matanga mikolo tuku sambo.
4 And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say,
Tango mikolo ya matanga esilaki, Jozefi alobaki na bakonzi oyo basalaka na ndako ya Faraon: — Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na bino, bolobela ngai epai ya Faraon. Boyebisa ye
5 My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe.
ete tata na ngai alapisaki ngai ndayi: « Nakomi pembeni ya kokufa, bokunda ngai kati na kunda oyo natobolaki na libanga, na mokili ya Kanana. » Mpe sik’oyo, tika ete apesa ngai nzela mpo ete nakende kokunda tata na ngai, bongo na sima nde nakozonga.
6 Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
Faraon azongisaki: — Kende mpe kunda tata na yo ndenge alapisaki yo ndayi.
7 So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
Boye Jozefi akendeki kokunda tata na ye; bakalaka nyonso ya lokumu ya Faraon bakendeki elongo na ye: bakonzi oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako na ye mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Ejipito
8 Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen.
elongo na bato nyonso ya ndako ya Jozefi, bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ndako ya tata na ye. Bana na bango kaka nde batikalaki na Gosheni na bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe na bango.
9 And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
Jozefi atambolaki lisusu elongo na bashareti mpe bato oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda. Ezalaki mobembo ya bato ebele penza.
10 And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes.
Tango bakomaki na etando ya Atadi, pembeni ya Yordani, basalaki matanga ya monene penza. Jozefi asalaki mikolo sambo ya matanga mpo na tata na ye.
11 And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden.
Bongo tango bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna bamonaki matanga wana na etando ya Atadi, balobaki: « Bato ya Ejipito bazali na milulu minene ya matanga. » Yango wana babengaki esika yango Abele-Mitsirayimi, oyo ezali pembeni ya Yordani.
12 So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
Bana mibali ya Jakobi basalaki ndenge tata na bango atindaki bango.
13 For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre.
Bamemaki ye na mokili ya Kanana mpe bakundaki ye na lidusu ya mabanga oyo ezali na elanga ya Makipela, pembeni ya Mamire, elanga oyo Abrayami asombaki epai ya Efroni, moto ya Iti, mpo ete akomisa yango lilita na ye.
14 Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father.
Sima na kokunda tata na ye, Jozefi azongaki na Ejipito elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe bato nyonso oyo balandaki ye mpo na kokunda tata na ye.
15 And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him.
Tango bandeko mibali ya Jozefi bamonaki ete tata na bango asili kokufa, balobaki: « Tango mosusu Jozefi akoyina biso mpe akozongisela biso mabe nyonso oyo tosalaki ye! »
16 Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
Boye batindelaki Jozefi maloba oyo: « Liboso ete tata na yo akufa, atikaki maloba oyo: ‹ Tala makambo oyo bokoyebisa Jozefi:
17 Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him.
‘Nasengi ete olimbisa masumu ya bandeko na yo mpe mabe oyo basalaki yo! Sik’oyo, nabondeli yo, limbisa masumu ya basali ya Nzambe ya tata na yo!’ › » Tango Jozefi ayokaki maloba yango, alelaki.
18 Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
Bandeko na ye bayaki, bamibwakaki liboso na ye mpe balobaki: — Tozali bawumbu na yo.
19 To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
Kasi Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Bobanga te! Boni, ngai nazali na esika ya Nzambe?
20 When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue.
Bino bokanisaki kosala ngai mabe, kasi Nzambe abongolaki yango bolamu mpo na kokokisa, ndenge ezali kosalema sik’oyo, lobiko ya bomoi ya bato ebele.
21 Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
Yango wana, bobanga te! Nakokokisa posa na bino mpe ya bana na bino. Akitisaki bango mitema mpe alobelaki bango na boboto nyonso.
22 So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
Jozefi avandaki na Ejipito elongo na libota nyonso ya tata na ye. Awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na zomi.
23 And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees.
Amonaki bakitani ya Efrayimi kino na molongo ya misato. Amonaki lisusu bana ya Makiri, mwana mobali ya Manase, ba-oyo babotamaki na mabolongo ya Jozefi.
24 And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: « Nakomi pene ya kokufa. Kasi ya solo, Nzambe akosalisa bino mpe akobimisa bino na mokili oyo, mpo na kokotisa bino na mokili oyo alakaki epai ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Jakobi tango alapaki ndayi. »
25 And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
Jozefi alapisaki bana mibali ya Isalaele ndayi mpe alobaki na bango: « Tango Nzambe akosunga bino, bokolongola mikuwa na ngai na esika oyo. »
26 So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
Bongo Jozefi akufaki tango akokisaki mibu ya mbotama nkama moko na zomi. Tango basilisaki kokawusa nzoto na ye, batiaki ye na sanduku na Ejipito.
