1 Te vaengah Joseph loh a napa maelhmaia bakop thil tih a soaha rhah neha mok.

And Joseph fell upon the face of his father, and wept upon him and kissed him.

2 Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa te sihluk ham a sal siboeirhoek tea uen tih siboei rhoek loh Isreal te si a hlukuh.

Then Joseph commanded his servants the physicians, to embalm his father, —so the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 Sihluknah khohninte khohnin lipkipa di hamaom dongah khohnin a soep vanneh rhokte Egypt rhoek loh khohnin sawmrhiha rhah uh.

And they fulfilled for him forty days, for so, are they wont to fulfil the days of the embalmed, —and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

4 Rhahnah khohnina poeng vaengah Joseph loh Pharaoh im la, “Na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang atah Pharaoh kah hna kaep ah bet ka thui mai eh.

And, when the days of weeping for him were passed, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh saying, —If I pray you, I have found favour in your eyes, speak ye I pray you in the ears of Pharaoh saying:

5 A pa loh, 'Ka duek atah Kanaan kho ah kamah ham ka vueh tangtae phuel ah pahoi nan up ni, ' a titih kai he n'toemngam sak oeh dongah bet ka cet saeh lamtah a pa te ka up phoeiah ka bal mai eh?,” a ti nah.

My father, made me swear saying, —Lo! I, am about to die, —in my grave which I digged for myself in the land of Canaan, there, shalt thou bury me. Now, therefore, let me go up, I pray thee and bury my father, and return.

6 Pharaoh long khaw, “Na toemngam vanbangla cet lamtah na pa te up dae,” a ti nah.

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

7 Te dongah Josephte a napa up hama caeh hatah Pharaoh kah sal boeih neh a im kah a hamca rhoek long khaw, Egypt kho kah a hamca boeih long khaw,

So Joseph went up. to bury his father, —and there went up with him all the servants of Pharaoh the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt;

8 Joseph cako boeih neh a manuca rhoek long khaw, a napa cako long khaw a thak puei uh. Camoe neh a boiva, saelhung buengte Goshen kho aha caehtak uh.

and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father, —only their little ones and their flocks and their herds, left they. in the land of Goshen.

9 Te dongah anih taengah aka cette leng khaw, marhang caem khaw lambong yet la muep om.

And there went up with him, both chariots and horsemen, —so it came to pass that, the company, was exceeding great,

10 Tedae Jordan rhalvangan kah Atad tea pha uh vaengah rhaengsaelung neh bungbung mata rhaengsae uh tih a napa ham nguekcoinahte hnin rhiha yaeh uh.

And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there—an exceeding great and grievous wailing, —and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.

11 Tedae Atad ah a nguekcoinah te Kanaan kho kah khosa rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah, “Hekah he Egypt rhoek loh mat a nguekcoinah ni,” a ti uh dongah Jordan rhalvangan kah a ming te Abelmizaim la a khue.

And when the dwellers in the land—the Canaanites—saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, —A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

12 Te dongaha uen vanbangla Isreal ham a ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih,

And his sons did for him thus as he had commanded them;

13 Kanaan kho laa khuen uh. Te phoeiah Abraham loh phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron kah khohmuen Mamre aha lai Makpelah lo kah lungko aha up uh.

so his sons carried him to 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 from Ephron the Hittite over against Mamre.

14 Joseph neh a manucarhoek khaw, a napa up ham anih taengah aka cet boeih long khaw a napa te aup phoeiah Egypt la bal uh.

Then Joseph returned to Egypt he and his brethren and all who had been up with him to bury his father, —after he had buried his father.

15 Tedae a napa a duek coeng dongah Joseph te a manuca rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah, “Joseph he mamih taengah a konaeh koinih anih taengah boethae n'saii uh boeih te n'thuung rhoe n'thuung ni,” a ti uh.

Now when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said—Oh! if Joseph should lie in wait for us, —and should return, to us, all the evil wherewith we requited him!

16 Te dongah Joseph taengla ol a uenuh tih, “Na pa loh a duek hlan ah,

So they sent in charge unto Joseph saying, —Thy father, gave command before he died saying:

17 'Joseph te, 'Na manuca rhoek kah dumlai khaw, nanga thae la n'saii uh vaengakah tholhnah te khaw phueih mai ti nah,’ a ti tih n'uen dongah na pa Pathen sal rhoek kah boekoeknah te phuei mai,” a ti nah uh tih a thui uh vaengah Joseph rhap.

Thus, shall ye say to Joseph—Ah now! do forgive we pray thee the transgression of thy brethren and their sin in that with evil, they requited thee. Now, therefore grant forgiveness we pray thee, for the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father! And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

18 Te dongah a manucarhoek khaw cet uh tih a hmai ah bakop uh tih kaimih he nang kah sal ni hea ti uh.

Then went his brethren also, and fell down before him, —and said, Behold us! thine for servants.

19 Tedae Joseph loh, “kai he Pathen hnukthoi a? Rhih uh boeh saw.

And Joseph said unto them—Do not fear, —although in place of God, I am.

20 Nangmih loh kai taengah boethae la nan taeng uh cakhaw Pathen loh tahae khohnin kah bangla pilnam muep hing sak ham tea then laa moeh coeng.

Ye, indeed, planned against me, evil, —God, planned it, for good, for the sake of doing, as at this day, to save alive much people.

21 Te dongah rhih uh boeh. Nangmih khaw, na carhoekkhaw kan cangbam bitni,” a tinah tih amih lungbuei te hloep ol a thui pah.

Now, therefore do not fear! I will nourish you and your little ones. Thus he consoled them, and spake unto their heart.

22 Joseph khaw Egypt ah a napa kah a cako nehkhoa sak. Te vaengah Josephte kum pasoi neh kum rha hing.

And Joseph abode in Egypt, he, and his father’s house, —and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.

23 Te dongah Joseph loh Ephraim ca rhoek a khongthum duelaa hmuh. Manasseh capa Makir carhoek khaw Joseph khuklu dongaha cun uh.

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s, sons of three generations—moreover the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.

24 Te vaengah Joseph loh a manucarhoek la, “Kai ka duek cakhaw Pathen loh nangmih n'hip khaw n'hip vetih nangmih te tahae kah kho lamkah Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob hama toemngam tangtae khohmuen la khuen bitni,” a ti nah.

Then said Joseph unto his brethren, I, am about to die, —but God will surely concern, himself for you, so will he take you up out of this land, into the land which he sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob.

25 Te dongah Joseph loh Israel carhoek tea toemngam sak tih, “Nangmih te Pathen loh n'hip rhoe la n'hip vaengah he lamkah ka rhuhna khuen uh ni,” a ti nah.

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear saying, —God will, surely concern, himself for you, So shall ye carry up my bones, from hence.

26 Joseph he kum pasoi neha lang a lo ca vaengah duek tih a rhok te si a hluk uh phoeiah Egypt kah thingkawng dongaha khueh uh.

So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old, —and they embalmed him, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
