Genesis 50 (ROW)

1Ama na mate ma, Yusuf holu nala e, de nggae ei-ei. Ana idꞌu ama na nasafafali.Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.

2Basa naa ma, Yusuf parenda mana tao mataꞌ mamates ra tao modꞌo neu e, fo ao sisi na afiꞌ maꞌafoo.And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,

3Basa 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.taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4Basa fai kahitu nulu na boe, Yusuf nafadꞌe pagau nara nae, “Rena! Mendi haraꞌ ia, mi mifadꞌe maneꞌ a maꞌo ia: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‘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.’”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.”

6Maneꞌ a nataa nae, “Mete ma ho helu ama ma taꞌo naa ena, muu muꞌoi e sia naa leo.”Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

7Boe ma Yusuf neu naꞌoi ama na. Atahori naeꞌ o tungga e boe. Maneꞌ a pagau nara, ma basa atahori monaeꞌ Masir ra.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—

8Yusuf 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.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.

9Soldꞌadꞌu 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.Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.

10Basa 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.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.

11Atahori 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’.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.

12Basa ma, Yakob ana nara tao tungga sira helu-fuli na.So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.

13Ara 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.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.

14Yusuf naꞌoi basa ama na ma, no odꞌi-aꞌa nara baliꞌ Masir reu. Basa atahori mana tungga reu raꞌoiꞌ ra o baliꞌ boe.After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.

15Ara 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?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.”

16Ara rala haraꞌ sa fo fee haraꞌ neu Yusuf rae: “Ama fetor. Hai feꞌe misinedꞌa leleꞌ hita ama na feꞌe masodꞌa na, ana denu haiSo they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,

17mifadꞌe 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.‘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.

18Boe ma aꞌa nara rema mata nara ma sendeꞌ lululangga nara, de olaꞌ rae, “Amaꞌ, tao hai dadꞌi ate ma.”His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”

19Yusuf nafadꞌe se nae, “Aꞌa nggare! Sudꞌi mimitau fai! Akaꞌ a Lamatualain ma hak fo huku-doki atahori. Te au ia, hokoꞌ.But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?

20Maꞌahulu 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.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.

21Dadꞌi 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.Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.

22Basa naa ma, Yusuf leo nakandoo sia Masir no odꞌi-aꞌa nara. Ana nasodꞌa losa too natun esa sanahulu.Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.

23Ana feꞌe nita Efraim sufe nara. Ma ana o naꞌaboi Manase umbu nara, naeni Makir ana nara.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.

24Yusuf 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.”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.”

25Boe 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.”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.”

26Yusuf 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.So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
