¹And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

¹Ary Josefa nihohoka tamin'ny tavan'ny rainy ka nitomany teo amboniny sady nanoroka azy.

²And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

²Ary nasain'i Josefa nanosotra zava-manitra an-drainy ny mpanompony izay mpanao fanafody; dia nanosotra an'Isiraely ny mpanao fanafody.

³And 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.

³Ary notanterahiny taminy ny efa-polo andro, fa izany no isan'ny andro nanosoram-paty; ary ny Egyptiana nisaona azy fito-polo andro.

⁴And 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,

⁴Ary rehefa tapitra ny andro nisaonana azy, Josefa dia niteny tamin'ny tao an-tranon'i Farao ka nanao hoe: Raha mba nahita fitia eo imasonareo aho, masìna ianareo, lazao amin'i Farao, ka ataovy hoe:

⁵My 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.

⁵Ny raiko efa nampianiana ahy ka nanao hoe: Indro, ho faty aho; koa ao amin'ny fasako, izay nohadiko ho ahy any amin'ny tany Kanana, dia ao no andeveno ahy. Koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka aho hiakatra handevina ny raiko, dia hiverina atỳ indray.

⁶And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

⁶Ary hoy Farao: Miakara ary, ka aleveno ny rainao araka izay nampianianany anao.

⁷And 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,

⁷Dia lasa niakatra Josefa handevina ny rainy; ary niara-niakatra taminy ny mpanompon'i Farao rehetra, dia ny loholona tao an-tranony sy ny loholona rehetra tany amin'ny tany Egypta,

⁸And 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.

⁸ary ny ankohonan'i Josefa rehetra sy ny rahalahiny ary ny ankohonan-drainy; ny ankizy madinika sy ny ondriny aman'osiny sy ny ombiny ihany no navelany tao amin'ny tany Gosena.

⁹And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

⁹Ary nisy kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly niara-niakatra taminy koa, ka lehibe dia lehibe ny tobiny.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Ary rehefa tonga teo Goren'atada izy, izay ao an-dafin'i Jordana, dia nanao fisaonana lehibe sy mafy indrindra teo izy; dia nisaona an-drainy hafitoana Josefa.

¹¹And 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 Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

¹¹Ary rehefa hitan'ny Kananita tompon-tany ny fisaonana teo Goren-atada, dia hoy izy: Fisaonana mafy amin'ny Egyptiana izao; izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Abel-Egyptiana, izay ao an-dafin'i Jordana.

¹²And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

¹²Ary ny zanakalahin'i Jakoba nanao taminy araka izay nandidiany azy,

¹³For 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.

¹³dia nitondra azy tany amin'ny tany Kanana, ary nandevina azy tao amin'ny zohy amin'ny saha Makpela, tandrifin'i Mamre, dia ilay novidin'i Abrahama mbamin'ny saha tamin'i Efrona Hetita ho tany fandevenana.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴Ary rehefa voalevin'i Josefa ny rainy, dia niverina tany Egypta izy sy ny rahalahiny mbamin'izay rehetra niara-niakatra taminy handevina ny rainy.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Ary rehefa hitan'ny rahalahin'i Josefa fa maty ny rainy, dia hoy izy: Andrao hanao fo-lentika amintsika Josefa ka hamaly antsika tokoa noho izay ratsy rehetra nataontsika taminy.

¹⁶And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

¹⁶Dia naniraka nankany amin'i Josefa izy ka nanao hoe: Ny rainao nanafatra, fony izy tsy mbola maty,

¹⁷So 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.

¹⁷ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainareo amin'i Josefa: Mamela re ny fahadisoan'ny rahalahinao sy ny fahotany, fa efa nanao ratsy taminao izy; eny, mamela ankehitriny ny fahadisoan'ny mpanompon'ny Andriamanitry ny rainao. Dia nitomany Josefa, raha niteny taminy izy ireo.

¹⁸And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

¹⁸Koa nanatona azy ny rahalahiny, dia nianko­hoka teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay ho mpanomponao.

¹⁹And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

¹⁹Ary hoy Josefa taminy: Aza matahotra; fa moa solon'Andriamanitra va aho?

²⁰But 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.

²⁰Hianareo no nisaina hanisy ratsy ahy; fa Andriamanitra kosa nisaina izany ho soa, hanao tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao, hamelona olona betsaka.

²¹Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

²¹Koa ankehitriny, aza matahotra ianareo; fa izaho hamelona anareo sy ny zanakareo madinika. Dia nampionona azy sy nanao teny malefaka nahafinaritra azy izy.

²²And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

²²Ary Josefa sy ny ankohonan'ny rainy nonina tany Egypta; ary ny andro niainan'i Josefa dia folo amby zato taona.

²³And 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.

²³Ary hitan'i Josefa ny zafiafin'i Efraima; ny zanak'i Makira koa, zanakalahin'i Manase, dia noraisin'i Josefa ho eo am-pofoany.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴Ary hoy Josefa tamin'ny rahalahiny: Ho faty aho; nefa Andriamanitra hamangy anareo tokoa ka hitondra anareo hiala amin'ity tany ity ho any amin'ny tany izay nianianany tamin'i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba homena azy.

²⁵And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

²⁵Ary Josefa dia nampianiana ny zanak'Isiraely ka nanao hoe: Hamangy anareo tokoa Andriamanitra, dia hitondra ny taolako hiala eto ianareo.Dia maty Josefa, rehefa folo amby zato taona; ary dia nohosorany zava-manitra izy ka napetrany tao anatin'ny vata tany Egypta.

²⁶So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

²⁶Dia maty Josefa, rehefa folo amby zato taona; ary dia nohosorany zava-manitra izy ka napetrany tao anatin'ny vata tany Egypta.
