Genesis 50 (MSY2020)

1Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn uan afeziamɨn garima, an aremezɨ, a uan afeziam gisɨn irɨgha a muigha bar an apangkuvigha azia uan afeziamɨn tori.Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.

2Egha gɨn Josep doktabav geima, me marasinba ko borer igharagha gariba, an afeziamɨn mɨkarzim gaghui. Eghtɨ, an mɨkarzim ikuvighan kogham. Ezɨ doktaba Josep mɨkemezɨ moghɨram ami.And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,

3Isipian kuabagh amir arazimra kara, me marasin kuamɨn mɨkarzim daghu mangɨ 40plan dughiabar tugham. Kamaghɨn me ingangarir kam 40plan dughiabar Jekopɨn kuam gami. Ezɨ Isipia Jekop bagha azia ghua 70plan dughiabar tu.taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4Ezɨ aghuimazim ko azirakam gɨvazɨma, Josep atrivimɨn gumazir dapanibav gɨa ghaze, “E uari, ia na gifueghɨva, ia nan akam inigh atrivim bagh mangɨ. Akar kam kamakɨn,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‘Atrivim, nan afeziam aremeghasava amua, a na gamizɨ, kɨ akar dɨkɨrɨzim gamua ghaze, kɨ an kuam inigh mangɨva dagɨar mozir a uabɨ okorezim, a Kenanɨn nguazimɨn iti, kɨ an anefam. Kamaghɨn, nɨ nan amamangatɨghtɨ, kɨ uan afeziamɨn kuam inigh mangɨ anefagh egh gɨn kɨ ua izam.’ ”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.”

6Ezɨ atrivim Josepɨn akam baregha kamaghɨn a ikaragha ghaze, “Nɨ uan afeziam ko akar dɨkɨrɨzir amizir kamɨn gɨn mangɨ, egh an kuam inigh mangɨva anefagh.”Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

7Ezɨ Josep uan afeziam mozimɨn anefasa zui. Ezɨ atrivimɨn gumazir dapaniba, ko an dɨpenimɨn gumazir ekiaba, ko Isipian gumazir aruaba, me bar Josepɨn gɨn zui.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—

8Ezɨ Josepɨn adarazi, ko an aveghbuaba, ko an afeziamɨn adarasi, me bar ghue. Ezɨ borir doziba ko, sipsipba, memeba ko bulmakauba, darara Gosenɨn Distrighɨn iti.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.

9Ezɨ karisba ko gumazir hoziabagh apiaziba, me uaghan Josep ko zui. Guizbangɨra, gumazir bar avɨrim ghue.Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.

10Egha me ghua Atatɨn nguibamɨn otifi, Jordanɨn Fanemɨn aruem anadi nakɨn. Kar me witɨn iniba kua dar dagheba isir danganim. Ezɨ Josep aghuimazir arazim gamua azia ghua 7plan dughiaba gɨfa. Dughiar kam, me bar, azirakar dafam gamua pamtemɨn azi.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.

11Ezɨ Kenania, me Atatɨn itir gumazamizir kabar gari, me aghuimazimɨn ikiava azima, me kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Isipia aghuimazimɨn ikia azirakar ekiam gami.” Kamaghɨn me danganir kam dɨbora ghaze, “Abel Misraim.” Ezɨ danganir kam, a Jordanɨn Fanemɨn, aruem anadi naghɨn iti.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.

12Ezɨ Jekopɨn boriba an akamɨn gɨn ghua a mɨkemezɨ moghɨram ami.So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.

13Ezɨ me an kuam inigha Kenanɨn nguazimɨn ghugha, Makpelan nguazimɨn itir dagɨar mozimɨn anefa, a Mamren nguibamɨn boroghɨn iti. Abraham fomɨra Efron da nguazir kam givese, a Hitian mav, eghtɨ nguazir kam, an adarazir kuabar afamin danganimɨn mɨn ikiam.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.

14Ezɨ Josep uan afeziam afagha gɨvagha, uan aveghbuaba ko, a ko ghuezir darasi, me uamategha Isipɨn ghue.After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.

15Ezɨ men afeziam aremezɨ, Josepɨn aveghbuaba gɨn kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Manmaghɨn ami? Josep ti en ataravɨra ikiama, egha arazir kurar e a gamiziba ikarvaghasa?”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.”

16Kamaghɨn, me Josep bagha akam amada. Akar kam kamakɨn, “En afeziam tɨghar ovengamin dughiamɨn, an akar mamɨn e mɨkeme.So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,

17An akar kam nɨ danɨngasa e mɨkeme, ‘Josep, nɨn aveghbuaba arazir bar kuraba nɨ gamua, bar pazavɨra nɨ gami. Ezɨ kɨ nɨn azai, ga uaning, nɨ men arazir kurar kaba, gɨn amadagh.’ Ezɨ e datɨrɨghɨn, en afeziamɨn Godɨn ingangarir gumaziba, e nɨn azai, e uari, nɨ en arazir kurar ekiar kam, a gɨn amadagh.” Ezɨ Josep akar kam baregha azia iti.‘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.

18Egha gɨn Josepɨn aveghbuaba ghuava an gara egha uan guaba avigha ghuaghira Josepɨn suemningɨn boroghɨn nguazim giregha, kamaghɨn a mɨgei, “E pura nɨn ingangarir gumazir kɨnibar otifi.”His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”

19Ezɨ Josep kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “Ia atiatingan markɨ. Kɨ Godɨn danganim inighɨva, ia kotiam darɨghan kogham.But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?

20Bar guizbangɨra, ia na gasɨghasɨghasa akam mɨsoke. Ezɨ kɨ fo, God ian amamangatɨzɨ, ia arazir kam gami. Guizbangɨra, God gumazamizir avɨribar akurvaghasa ifonge, eghtɨ me ikuvighan kogham. Ezɨ ia God amizir ingangarir kam gɨfogha gɨfa.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.

21Kamaghɨn, ia atiatingan markɨ. Kɨ ia ko ian boribar ganam.” Josep akar bar aghuir kamɨn uan aveghbuaba mɨkemegha men navibagh amima, me navir amɨrizim ini.Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.

22Egha Josep Isipɨn kantrin uan afeziamɨn adarazi ko iti. Egha a 110plan azenibar bar moghɨra nguazir kamɨn ike.Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.

23Egha Efraimɨn boriba ko an igiabar boribar gani. Ezɨ Makirɨn boriba otivizɨ, me uaghan men akua Josep bagha ghuzɨma, a men suiragha me isa uan apozim dafa. Makir, a Manasen borim.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.

24Egha gɨn Josep kamaghɨn uan aveghbuabav gɨa ghaze, “Kɨran oveghangɨn, kɨ aremegham. Eghtɨ God ian ganam, egh gɨn ian aku kantrin kam ategh mangam. Ia fo, a fomɨra Abraham, Aisak ko Jekop nguazir mam me danɨngasa akar dɨkɨrɨzir gavgavim gami. Egh a gɨn ia inigh nguazir kamra, an mangam.”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.”

25Ezɨ gɨn Josep kamaghɨn Israelɨn otaribav gɨa ghaze, “Ia kamaghɨn na ko akam akɨrigh, dughiar God ia bagh izamim, ia danganir kamɨn nan aghariba inigh mangɨ.” Egha Josep uan aveghbuabagh amima, me guizbangɨra pɨn akagha mɨkeme, me an akar kamɨn gɨn mangam.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.”

26Ezɨ Josep 110plan azenibar ikegha an areme. Ezɨ Isipian doktaba marasin ko borer avɨribar an mɨkarzim gaghui, eghtɨ an mɨkarzim ikuvighan kogham. Ezɨ me an kuam isa boksiar mam gatɨ, egha Isipɨn kantrin itir danganir mam gatɨ.So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
