Genesis 50
1 To pacoengah Joseph loe ampa nuiah tabok moe, qah pacoengah a mok.
Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2 To pacoengah Joseph mah tasi sah kop a tamnanawk khaeah ampa ih qok to tasi pazut hanah thuih pae; tasi sah kop kaminawk mah Israel to tasi hoiah pazut o.
Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 Anih ih qok to tasi hoiah pazut hanah, ni qui palito akra; ni akoep pacoengah Izip kaminawk mah anih to ni qui sarihto thung qah o haih.
Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.
4 Qahhaih ni boeng pacoengah, Joseph mah Faro imthung takohnawk khaeah, Nangcae mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, Faro khaeah na thui pae oh,
When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favour in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5 kam pa mah, Khenah, ka duek tom boeh, ka duek naah Kanaan prae ah kaimah han takaeh ih taprong ah na phum ah, tiah lok ang kamsak. To pongah vaihi kam pa aphum hanah ka caeh moe, aphum pacoengah kam laem let han, tiah a naa.
‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6 Faro mah, Lok ang kamsak baktih toengah, caeh tahang ah loe nam pa to aphum ah, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
7 To pongah Joseph loe ampa aphum hanah caeh tahang; Faro ih tamnanawk boih, anih im ih kacoehtanawk hoi Izip prae ih kacoehtanawk boih anih hoi nawnto caeh o,
Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8 Joseph imthung takohnawk, angmah ih amyanawk hoi ampa imthung takoh boih a caeh o; a caanawk, tuunawk hoi maitawnawk khue ni Goshen ah a caeh o taak.
all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 Hrang leeng hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh o; to pongah kami paroeai pop o.
Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.
10 Jordan vapui taengah kaom, Atad ih cang atithaih ahmuen to phak o naah, nihcae loe tha hoi qah o; Joseph mah ampa to ni sarihto thung qah haih.
They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.
11 To naah Kanaan prae thungah kaom kaminawk mah Atad cang atithaih ahmuen ih kaqah kaminawk to hnuk o naah, nihcae mah, Izip kaminawk loe paroeai qah o, tiah thuih o. To pongah Jordan vapui taeng ih to ahmuen to, Abel Mizraim, tiah kawk o.
When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Jakob ih caanawk loe ampa mah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah sak o.
His sons did to him just as he commanded them,
13 A capanawk mah anih ih qok to Kanaan prae ah caeh o haih moe, Abraham mah Hit kami, Ephron khaeah taprong sak hanah qan ih, Mamre vangpui pha ai naah kaom, Makpelah lawk ih thlung khaw thungah aphum o.
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, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.
14 Ampa aphum o pacoengah, Joseph loe Izip prae ah amlaem let, anih loe angmah ih amyanawk, ampa aphum han caeh kaminawk boih hoi nawnto amlaem let.
Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 Joseph ih amyanawk mah ampa duek boeh ti, tiah panoek o naah, nihcae mah, Anih nuiah a sak o ih kasae hmuen pongah, Joseph mah aicae hae hnuma ueloe, aicae nuiah kasae hmuen hoi pathok tih boeh, tiah a poek o.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”
16 To pongah Joseph khaeah kami to patoeh o moe, Nam pa mah dueh ai naah kaicae khaeah hae tiah lok ang thuih,
They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,
17 Joseph khaeah, Nam yanawk mah na nuiah sak o ih zaehaih hoi sakpazaehaih boih to tahmen ah, tiah nam pa mah tahmenhaih hnik, tiah thui pae oh; nihcae mah na nuiah sak o ih zaehaih hoi nam pa ih Sithaw, anih ih tamnanawk mah sak o ih zaehaih to tahmen ah, tiah ang thuisak, tia a naa o. Nihcae mah thuisak ih hae lok to a thuih pae naah, Joseph loe qah.
‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Amyanawk loe anih hmaa ah caeh o moe, a hmaa ah akuep o; khenah, kaicae loe na tamna ah ni ka oh o boeh, tiah a naa o.
His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 Toe Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, Zii o hmah; toe kai loe Sithaw angdoethaih ahmuen ah maw ka oh?
Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
20 Nangcae mah kai hum hanah na poek o; toe vai hniah kaom hmuen baktih toengah Sithaw mah loe pop parai kaminawk hinghaih to pahlong hanah kho a khan.
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
21 To pongah zii o hmah; nangmacae hoi na caanawk boih kang kok o han hmang, tiah a naa. Nihcae to patloep moe, lok kanaem hoiah tapring.
Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 Joseph loe ampa imthung takohnawk boih hoi nawnto Izip prae thungah khosak; Joseph loe saning cumvaito pacoeng, hato hing.
Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
23 Joseph loe a caa dung thumto haih, Ephraim ih caanawk to hnuk; Manasseh capa Makir ih caanawk loe Jospeh ih khokhu nuiah tapensak.
Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
24 To naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Kai loe ka duek han boeh; toe nangcae abomh hanah Sithaw angzo ueloe, hae prae thung hoiah Abraham, Issak hoi Jakob khaeah paek han lokkam ih prae thungah na hoi o tih, tiah a naa.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25 Joseph mah Israel ih caanawk to lokkamsak, Nangcae abomh hanah Sithaw angzo tih, to naah hae prae thung hoiah kai ih ahuh hae sin oh, tiah a naa.
Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
26 To pongah Joseph loe saning cumvaito pacoeng, hato phak naah duek; anih ih qok to kaqong thai ai tasi pazut o pacoengah, Izip prae ah thingkhong thungah pasong o.
So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
