1 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Yusufu akamwangukia babaye usoni, akamlilila, akambusu.
2 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Yusufu akawaagiza watumishi wake waganga, kwamba wampake baba yake dawa asioze. Waganga wakampaka dawa Israeli.
3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
Siku zake arobaini zikaisha, maana hivyo hutimizwa siku za kupaka dawa. Wamisri wakamlilia siku sabini.
4 And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Siku za kumlilia zilipopita, Yusufu alisema na watu wa nyumba ya Farao, akinena, Kama nimeona neema machoni penu, tafadhalini mkaseme masikioni mwa Farao, mkinena, Baba yangu aliniapisha, akisema,
5 My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
Mimi ni katika kufa, unizike katika kaburi langu nililojichimbia katika nchi ya Kanaani. Basi tafadhali uniruhusu niende sasa nikamzike babangu, nami nitarudi.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
Farao akasema, Uende, ukamzike baba yako, kama alivyokuapisha.
7 And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Basi Yusufu akaenda amzike babaye, na watumwa wote wa Farao wakaenda pamoja naye, wazee wa nyumbani mwake, na wazee wote wa nchi ya Misri.
8 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
Na nyumba yote ya Yusufu, na nduguze, na nyumba ya babaye; wakawaacha watoto wao tu, na kondoo zao, na ng'ombe zao, katika nchi ya Gosheni.
9 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
Kisha wakaenda pamoja naye wapanda farasi, na magari; wakawa jeshi kubwa sana.
10 And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Wakaja mpaka sakafu ya Atadi, iliyo ng'ambo ya Yordani. Wakaomboleza huko maombolezo makuu, mazito sana. Akafanya matanga ya babaye siku saba.
11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
Nao waliokaa katika nchi, wale Wakanaani, walipoyaona matanga katika sakafu ya Atadi, wakasema, Matanga haya ya Wamisri ni makuu kwa hiyo mahali pale paliitwa Abel-Misri, iliyo ng'ambo ya Yordani.
12 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
Wanawe wakamfanyia kama alivyo waagiza;
13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
kwa kuwa wanawe wakamchukuwa mpaka nchi ya Kanaani, nao wakamzika katika pango ya shamba la Makpela, iliyo mbele ya Mamre, aliyoinunua Ibrahimu pamoja na shamba kwa Efroni Mhiti, pawe milki yake pa kuzikia.
14 And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Yusufu akarudi Misri, yeye na ndugu zake, na wote waliyokwenda pamoja naye kumzika babaye, baada ya kumzika babaye.
Death of Joseph
15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
Ndugu zake Yusufu walipoona ya kwamba baba yao amekufa, walisema, Labda Yusufu atatuchukia; naye atatulipa maovu yetu tuliyomtenda.
16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
Wakapeleka watu kwa Yusufu, kunena, Baba yako alitoa amri kabla ya kufa kwake, akasema,
17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
Mwambieni Yusufu hivi, Naomba uwaachilie ndugu zako kosa lao na dhambi yao, maana walikutenda mabaya; sasa twakuomba utuachilie kosa la watumwa wa Mungu wa baba yako. Yusufu akalia waliposema naye.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
Nduguze wakaenda tena, wakamwangukia miguu, wakasema, Tazama, sisi tu watumwa wako.
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
Yusufu akawaambia, Msiogope, je! Mimi ni badala ya Mungu?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Nanyi kweli mlinikusudia mabaya, bali Mungu aliyakusudia kuwa mema, ili itokee kuokoa taifa kubwa, kama ilivyo leo.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
Basi sasa msiogope; mimi nitawalisha na watoto wenu. Akawafariji, na kusema nao vema.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
Akakaa Yusufu katika Misri, yeye na nyumba ya babaye. Akaishi Yusufu miaka mia na kumi.
23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
Yusufu akaona wana wa Efraimu hata kizazi cha tatu; na wana wa Makiri, mwana wa Manase, walizaliwa magotini mwa Yusufu.
24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Yusufu akawaambia nduguze, Mimi ninakufa, lakini Mungu atawajia ninyi bila shaka, atawapandisha toka nchi hii, mpaka nchi aliyowaapia Ibrahimu, na Isaka, na Yakobo.
25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Yusufu akawaapisha wana wa Israeli, akasema, Bila shaka Mungu atawajia ninyi, nanyi mtaipandisha huko mifupa yangu.
26 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Basi Yusufu akafa, mwenye miaka mia na kumi; wakampaka dawa, wakamtia katika sanduku, huko Misri.
