1 Te vaengah Joseph loh a napa maelhmai a bakop thil tih a soah a rhah neh a mok.

And Joseph fell on his father’s face, and wept on him, and kissed him.

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

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

3 Sihluknah khohnin te khohnin lipkip a di ham a om dongah khohnin a soep vanneh rhok te Egypt rhoek loh khohnin sawmrhih a rhah uh.

And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him three score and ten days.

4 Rhahnah khohnin a 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 his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, 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 ti tih 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, See, I die: in my grave which I have dig for me in the land of Canaan, there shall you bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray you, and bury my father, and I will come again.

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

And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.

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

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,

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

And all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

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

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

10 Tedae Jordan rhalvangan kah Atad te a pha uh vaengah rhaengsaelung neh bungbung mat a rhaengsae uh tih a napa ham nguekcoinah te hnin rhih a yaeh uh.

And they came to the threshing floor 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.

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 inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: why the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

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

And his sons did to him according as he commanded them:

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

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 burial plot of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

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

And 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 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.

And when Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did to him.

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

And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Your father did command before he died, saying,

17 'Joseph te, 'Na manuca rhoek kah dumlai khaw, nang a 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.

So shall you say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now, the trespass of your brothers, and their sin; for they did to you evil: and now, we pray you, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

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

And his brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be your servants.

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

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

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

But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it to good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

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

Now therefore fear you not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

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

And Joseph dwelled in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

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

And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.

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

And Joseph said to his brothers, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

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

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

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

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