Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Ama na mate ma, Yusuf holu nala e, de nggae ei-ei. Ana idꞌu ama na nasafafali.
2 Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf parenda mana tao mataꞌ mamates ra tao modꞌo neu e, fo ao sisi na afiꞌ maꞌafoo.
3 So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
Basa boe ma, ara linuafi mamates a losa fai haa nulu, tungga sira hadat na. Basa atahori Masir ra o nggae Yakob mamate na losa fai hitu nulu. Onaꞌ sira atahori monaen na mate.
4 When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
Basa fai kahitu nulu na boe, Yusuf nafadꞌe pagau nara nae, “Rena! Mendi haraꞌ ia, mi mifadꞌe maneꞌ a maꞌo ia:
5 ‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
‘Ama ngga nae mate ma, ana noꞌe au uꞌoi e sia rae Kanaꞌan. Dadꞌi au oꞌe maneꞌ fee au uu uꞌoi ama ngga dei. Basaꞌ fo au baliꞌ ia uma.’”
6 After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
Maneꞌ a nataa nae, “Mete ma ho helu ama ma taꞌo naa ena, muu muꞌoi e sia naa leo.”
7 So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
Boe ma Yusuf neu naꞌoi ama na. Atahori naeꞌ o tungga e boe. Maneꞌ a pagau nara, ma basa atahori monaeꞌ Masir ra.
8 His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara, ro basa atahori mana tao ues nara o reu raꞌoi Yakob boe. Mana mahani sia Gosen, akaꞌ a sao nara ro anadikiꞌ ra ma banda nara.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
Soldꞌadꞌu naeꞌ o tungga boe. Ruma ro kareta, ma ruma sae ndara. Huu mana tungga ra, nae na seli, naa de nononggo mana tunggaꞌ laoꞌ ro mamates a narun seli.
10 They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
Basa se lao losa loe Yordan seriꞌ sia mamanaꞌ esa naran Atad. Atahori biasa poko are sia naa. Yusuf se nggae ei-ei ama na mamate na ma bebeꞌek tetembaꞌ hitu fai sia naa.
11 When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
Atahori Kanaꞌan sia naa rita se susa onaꞌ naa ma, ara olaꞌ rae, “Wei! Mita dei. Atahori Masir ra beꞌe mamates nara no sususaꞌ seli o. Ara nggae mataꞌ naa.” Naa de ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, Abel-Misraim. Sosoa na ‘atahori Masir sususa na’.
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
Basa ma, Yakob ana nara tao tungga sira helu-fuli na.
13 They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
Ara rendi Yakob ao sisi na, de raꞌoi sia luat deka kambo Makpela no Mamre. Maꞌahulu na, Abraham hasa mamanaꞌ naa mia atahori Het, naran Efron, de tao dadꞌi mamana rates.
14 After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
Yusuf naꞌoi basa ama na ma, no odꞌi-aꞌa nara baliꞌ Masir reu. Basa atahori mana tungga reu raꞌoiꞌ ra o baliꞌ boe.
15 After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
Ara losa Masir boe ma, Yusuf aꞌa nara ramatau. Huu ama na nese ena, de ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Wei! Hei duꞌa dei! Mete ma Yusuf feꞌe mbedꞌaꞌ nasat no nggita, fo nae balas hita deꞌulakaꞌ na neu e, naa taꞌo bee?
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Ara rala haraꞌ sa fo fee haraꞌ neu Yusuf rae: “Ama fetor. Hai feꞌe misinedꞌa leleꞌ hita ama na feꞌe masodꞌa na, ana denu hai
17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
mifadꞌe amaꞌ mae, ‘Usu musi fee ambon neu aꞌa nara salan. Huu maꞌahulu na ara tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu e.’ Hai o misinedꞌa hita ama na namahere neu Lamatualain mia maꞌahulu na. Naa de, hai, fo Lamatualain ate nara, ima moꞌe ambon, huu basa hai tao salaꞌ neu amaꞌ ena.” Yusuf rena taꞌo naa ma, ana nggae.
18 Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
Boe ma aꞌa nara rema mata nara ma sendeꞌ lululangga nara, de olaꞌ rae, “Amaꞌ, tao hai dadꞌi ate ma.”
19 But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
Yusuf nafadꞌe se nae, “Aꞌa nggare! Sudꞌi mimitau fai! Akaꞌ a Lamatualain ma hak fo huku-doki atahori. Te au ia, hokoꞌ.
20 As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
Maꞌahulu na, memaꞌ hei mala haraꞌ fo tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu au. Te Lamatualain nggati hei dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulaka ma, dadꞌi maloleꞌ. Naa de, Ana soꞌu au dadꞌi atahori monaeꞌ, fo atahori naeꞌ hambu masodꞌaꞌ.
21 So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
Dadꞌi ia naa, au ufadꞌe nggi fo sudꞌi mimitau fai. Au helu dei fo au mete-seꞌu nggi, mo basa ana mara.” Yusuf oꞌola na naa, tao mangatetee aꞌa nara ralan.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf leo nakandoo sia Masir no odꞌi-aꞌa nara. Ana nasodꞌa losa too natun esa sanahulu.
23 He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
Ana feꞌe nita Efraim sufe nara. Ma ana o naꞌaboi Manase umbu nara, naeni Makir ana nara.
24 One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Yusuf nafadꞌe aꞌa nara nae, “Aꞌa nggare! Au duꞌa-duꞌa na, fai mamate ngga deka ena. Te au umuhere, Lamatualain naꞌaboi hei. Dei fo, Ana no nggi lao hela nusaꞌ ia, ma nalalao nggi baliꞌ misiꞌ nusaꞌ fo Ana helu-fuli fee baꞌi Abraham, baꞌi Isak no ama Yakob.”
25 Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
Boe ma Yusuf noꞌe odꞌi-aꞌa nara teꞌa nae, “Hei musi teꞌa neu au. Mete ma losa fai na Lamatualain no baliꞌ nggi misiꞌ nusaꞌ naa, naa hei o mo baliꞌ ao sisi ngga.”
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
Yusuf too natun esa sanahulu ma, ana mate sia Masir. Boe ma ara tao modꞌo neu ao sisi na, de tao e kopa na rala neu.
