Genesis 50 (GAX)

1Yennaa Yaaqoob du'e, Yoseef fuula abbaa ifii irratti jigee itti bowee sunqate.Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.

2Achiin duuba Yoseef tajaajiltoota ifii ogeeyyii qorsaa, akka reeffa abbaa isaa qorsaan sukkuumanee gossanu ajaje. Maarre ogeeyyiin qorsaalle akkuma Yoseef ajaje godhane.And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,

3Reeffa qorsaan sukkuumanee gossuun, guyyaa afurtama waan fudhatuuf, isaan guyyaa afurtamatti hobbaasane. Worri Gibxi'iille guyyaa torbaatama isaaf bowe.taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4Isaan yennaa nageeffatane, Yoseef qondaaltota mootichaatiin, «Ani yoo isin duratti fudhatama dhaggadhe, maganne'ee mootichaan,When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please tell Pharaoh that

5‹Abbaan kiyya yennaa du'a geyeeru, addee awwaalaa ta inni ifiif qopheeffate, lafa Kana'aanii keessatti akka ani isa awwaalu na kakachiiseera; tanaaf maganne'ee, dhaqee abbaa kiyya awwaaladhee deebi'a› jedha'aatii naaf hima'a» jedhe.my father made me swear an oath when he said, ‘I am about to die. You must bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Now let me go and bury my father, and then return.”

6Mootichi deebisee, «Akkuma inni si Kakachiise, dhaqiitii abbaa keeti awwaali» jedheen.Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

7Maarre Yoseef abbaa ifii awwaaliisaaf dhaqe. Qondaaltoti mootichaa marti, jaarsoleen mana mootummaa isa keessa jiranuu fi jaarsoleen lafa Gibxi'ii marti Yoseef woliin dhaqane.Then Joseph went to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh accompanied him—the elders of Pharaoh’s household and all the elders of the land of Egypt—

8Akkasuma maatiin Yoseefii, obboleeyyan isaatii fi maatiin abbaa isaa duudiin isa woliin dhaqane. Ijoollee didiqqoo, re'ee, hoole'ee fi loon isaanii qofatti lafa Gooshenii keessatti hafe.along with all of Joseph’s household, and his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children and flocks and herds were left in Goshen.

9Worri garreettaa fardaatii fi abbootiin fardaalle isa woliin dhaqane. Gobbuun sun akka malee guddo'o.Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.

10Isaan laga Yordaanosiitiin gama eeddummee Axaadii bira yennaa geyane, abbaa ifiitiif wiiccifatanee bowane; Yoseef achitti guyyaa torba abbaa ifiitiif boochise.When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wailed loudly, and Joseph mourned for his father seven days.

11Worri lafa Kana'aanii keessa le'anu bowicha namoota eeddummee Axaadii biraa dhagganee, «Worri Gibxi'ii bowiisa guddaa bowiisatti jiran!» jedhanee, maqaa addee sanii, «Abeel-Miizraayim» jedhanee baasane; hiikkaan afaan Ibrootaatiin, «Bowa worra Gibxi'ii» jechu'u. Addeen sun laga Yordaanosiitiin gamatti dhagganti.When the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.

12Maarre ilmaan Yaaqoobii akkuma inni isaan ajaje godhane;So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.

13ilmaan isaa reeffa isaa lafa Kana'aaniititti geessanee, goda awwaalaa ta fichaa Makfela'aa keessatti, ta Mamree irraa gara aduun baatu jirtutti awwaalane. Goda awwaalaa tana Abrahaam addee awwaalaa akka teetuuf Efronii namicha biyya Heetii irraa bitate.They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.

14Yoseef abbaa ifii awwaaleen duuba, obboleeyyan isaatii fi worra abbaa isaa awwaaliisaaf isa woliin deemaneeranu mara woliin gara biyya Gibxi'ii deebi'e.After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.

15Yaaqoob du'een duuba, Obboleeyyan Yoseefii, «Yoseef haluu qabatee, waan hantuu nuuti isa irratti hunye maraaf haluu nu bayinaa?» jedhane.When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph bears a grudge? Then he will surely repay us for all the evil that we did to him.”

16Maarre isaan ergaa gara Yoseefii erganee, «Abbaan keeti adoo hin du'in dura nu ajajee,So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,

17‹Yakkaa obboleeyyan teetiitii fi balleessaa isaan hujanee si miidhane, isaaniif lakkis› jennee akka sitti hinnu nutti himeera; tanaaf amma nu tajaajiltooti Waaqa abbaa keetii yakkaa nuuti si yakkine mara maganne'ee nuu lakkis!» jedhane. Yoseef yennaa ergaa tana dhage'e bowe.‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.’ So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.

18Achiin duuba obboleeyyan isaalle dhufanee, isa duratti jiganee, «Nuuti garboota teeti» jedhane.His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”

19Yoseef ammoo, «Hin sodaatina'a! Ani bakka Waaqaa hin bu'u.But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?

20Isin hantuu na godhiisaaf mala dhoottane; Waaqi ammoo gara waan dansa'aa jijjiire; inni lubbuu namoota heddu'uu ka ammaa fayyisiisaaf tana godhe.As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.

21Maarre hin sodaatina'a. Ani isinii fi ijoollee teessaniif waan barbaachisu hin kenna» jedhe. Yoseef gadhi-laafinnaan obboleeyyan ifiititti dubbatee isaan jajjabeesse.Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.

22Yoseefii fi maatiin abbaa isaa biyya Gibxi'ii keessa turane. Yoseef woggaa dhibbaa fi kudhan le'ee du'e.Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.

23Yoseef ijoollee Efreemiitii fi ijoollee ijoollee Efreemii dhagge. Akkasuma ijoollee Maakiirii ilma Minaase'eelle akka ijoollee ifiititti laakkowate.He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.

24Achiin duuba Yoseef, obboleeyyan ifiitiin, «Ani du'aara. Waaqi ammoo isin woliin hin jiraata. Inni lafa tana keessaa gara lafa Abrahaamiif, Yisihaqii fi Yaaqoobiif waadaa galetti isin hin deebisa» jedhe.Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

25Maarre Yoseef ilmaan Yaaqoobiitiin, «Waaqi dhugumaan isin woliin hin jiraata; yennaa inni gara lafa sanii isin deebisu, lafee tiyya asii fuutanee akka deentanu naaf kakadha'a» jedhe.And Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath and said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

26Yoseef woggaa dhibbaa fi kudhani tti du'e. Isaan reeffa isaa qorsaan sukkuumanee gossanee, biyya Gibxi'ii keessatti saanduqa keessa keyane.So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
