50 Markaasaa Yuusuf ku dhacay wejigii aabbihiis, wuuna ooyay oo dhunkaday. Kolkaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu addoommadiisii dhakhtarrada ahaa ku amray inay aabbihiis meydkiisa dawo mariyaan, markaasay dhakhtarradii Israa'iil dawo mariyeen. Oo waxaa u dhammaaday afartan maalmood, waayo, sidaasay maalmaha dawomarintu ugu dhammaan jireen. Masriyiintiina waxay isaga u ooyayeen toddobaatan maalmood.

Oo markii maalmihii loo ooyayay isaga ay dhammaadeen ayaa Yuusuf la hadlay reerkii Fircoon oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye haddaad haatan raalli iga tihiin, Fircoon iila hadla oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Aabbahay baa i dhaariyey, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg, waan dhimanayaa ee waxaad igu aastaa qabrigaygii aan ka qotay dalka Kancaan. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, ii fasax inaan tago oo aan aabbahay soo aaso, oo haddana waan soo noqon doonaa. Markaasaa Fircoon ku yidhi, Tag oo aabbahaa u soo aas siduu kugu dhaariyey. Markaasaa Yuusuf tegey inuu aabbihiis soo aaso; oo waxaana isagii raacay addoommadii Fircoon oo dhan, iyo odayaashii reerkiisa, iyo odayaashii dalka Masar oo dhan, iyo reerkii Yuusuf oo dhan, iyo walaalihiis, iyo reerkii aabbihiis. Waxaa keliyahoo ay dalkii Goshen kaga tageen dhallaankoodii, iyo adhigoodii, iyo lo'doodii. Waxaana isagii raacay gaadhifardoodyo, iyo fardooley; oo waxay ahaayeen guuto aad u weyn. 10 Markaasay waxay yimaadeen goobtii hadhuudhka lagu tumi jiray oo Aataad, oo Webi Urdun ka shishaysay, oo halkaasay ku baroorteen baroor aad u weyn oo daran; oo aabbihiis buu toddoba maalmood oo loo baroortay u dhigay. 11 Oo markii dadkii reer Kancaan oo dalka degganaa ay arkeen baroortii ka dhacday goobtii Aataad ayay waxay yidhaahdeen, Tanu waa baroor ku xun Masriyiinta. Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaa magaceedii loo bixiyey Aabeel Masriyiin, oo waxay ka shishaysaa Webi Urdun. 12 Wiilashiisiina way u yeeleen wixii uu kula dardaarmay iyaga, 13 maxaa yeelay, wiilashiisii waxay isagii u qaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay ku aaseen godkii ku dhex yiil berrinkii Makfelah, oo Ibraahim u iibsaday isaga iyo berrinkaba inuu ka dhigto meel xabaaleed oo hanti ah, wuxuuna ka iibsaday Cefroon kii reer Xeed, oo wuxuu ku hor yaal Mamre.

14 Yuusufna markuu aabbihiis aasay ka dib, wuxuu ku noqday Masar, isagii iyo walaalihiis, iyo kulli intii isaga u raacday oo dhan inay aabbihiis la soo aasaan.

Yuusuf Oo Qalbi Qaboojiyey Walaalihiis

15 Oo markay Yuusuf walaalihiis arkeen in aabbahood dhintay ayay isku yidhaahdeen, Mindhaa Yuusuf waa ina nebcaan doonaa oo wuu inaga magan doonaa xumaantii aynu ku samaynay oo dhan. 16 Oo markaasay farriin u fareen Yuusuf, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Aabbahaa intuusan dhiman ayuu dardaarmay oo wuxuu yidhi, 17 Waxaad Yuusuf ku tidhaahdaan, Haatan waan ku baryayaaye, cafi walaalahaa xadgudubkooda, iyo dembigooda, maxaa yeelay, iyagu xumaan bay kugu sameeyeen. Haddaba waannu ku baryaynaaye, Annagoo ah addoommada Ilaaha aabbahaa, naga cafi xadgududkayaga. Yuusufuna wuu ooyay markay la hadleen. 18 Walaalihiisna way u dhowaadeen oo ku hor dhaceen; oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, waxaannu nahay addoommadaada. 19 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ha cabsanina, waayo, ma anaa Ilaah meeshiisii jooga? 20 Idinku xumaan baad ila damacsanaydeen, laakiinse Ilaah wuxuu damacsanaa wanaag si uu u sameeyo siday maantaba tahay oo uu dad badan badbaadiyo. 21 Haddaba ha cabsanina. Anigu waan idin quudin doonaa idinka iyo dhallaankiinnaba. Wuuna qalbi qaboojiyey oo si raxmad leh ula hadlay.

Dhimashadii Yuusuf

22 Oo Yuusufna dalkii Masar buu degganaa, isaga iyo reerkii aabbihiisba; oo wuxuu Yuusuf noolaa boqol iyo toban sannadood. 23 Yuusufna qarnigii saddexaad oo carruurtii Efrayim ayuu arkay; oo carruurtii Maakiir ina Manasehna waxay ku kor dhasheen Yuusuf lowyihiisii. 24 Oo Yuusuf wuxuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Anigu waan dhimanayaa, laakiinse hubaal Ilaah waa idin soo booqan doonaa, oo dalkan idinka kaxayn doonaa, oo wuxuu idin geeyn doonaa dalkii uu ugu dhaartay Ibraahim iyo Isxaaq iyo Yacquub. 25 Yuusuf wuxuu dhaariyey reer binu Israa'iil, oo ku yidhi, Hubaal Ilaah waa idin soo booqan doonaaye, idinkuna waa inaad lafahayga halkan ka qaaddaan. 26 Yuusufna wuxuu dhintay isagoo boqol iyo toban sannadood jira; markaasaa inta dawo meydkiisii la mariyey, waxaa lagu riday sanduuq dalka Masar.

50 Joseph threw himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him.(A) Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,(B) taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.(C)

When the days of mourning(D) had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court,(E) “If I have found favor in your eyes,(F) speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, ‘My father made me swear an oath(G) and said, “I am about to die;(H) bury me in the tomb I dug for myself(I) in the land of Canaan.”(J) Now let me go up and bury my father;(K) then I will return.’”

Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials(L) accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court(M) and all the dignitaries of Egypt— besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household.(N) Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.(O) Chariots(P) and horsemen[a] also went up with him. It was a very large company.

10 When they reached the threshing floor(Q) of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly;(R) and there Joseph observed a seven-day period(S) of mourning(T) for his father.(U) 11 When the Canaanites(V) who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning.”(W) That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.[b]

12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them:(X) 13 They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah,(Y) near Mamre,(Z) which Abraham had bought along with the field(AA) as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite.(AB) 14 After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.(AC)

Joseph Reassures His Brothers

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge(AD) against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”(AE) 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions(AF) before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins(AG) and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’(AH) Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.(AI)” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.(AJ)

18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him.(AK) “We are your slaves,”(AL) they said.

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?(AM) 20 You intended to harm me,(AN) but God intended(AO) it for good(AP) to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.(AQ) 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.(AR)” And he reassured them and spoke kindly(AS) to them.

The Death of Joseph

22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father’s family. He lived a hundred and ten years(AT) 23 and saw the third generation(AU) of Ephraim’s(AV) children.(AW) Also the children of Makir(AX) son of Manasseh(AY) were placed at birth on Joseph’s knees.[c](AZ)

24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die.(BA) But God will surely come to your aid(BB) and take you up out of this land to the land(BC) he promised on oath to Abraham,(BD) Isaac(BE) and Jacob.”(BF) 25 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath(BG) and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones(BH) up from this place.”(BI)

26 So Joseph died(BJ) at the age of a hundred and ten.(BK) And after they embalmed him,(BL) he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
