When the days for mourning for him had passed, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak 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 take an oath, saying, "Look, I am dying. Bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will return 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, in keeping with your oath."

So Joseph went up to bury his father, and all the officials of Pharaoh went up with him, the elders of his household, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very large company.

Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad which is across the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very bitter lamentation. And he observed seven days of mourning for his father.

When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is across the Jordan.

So his sons did to him just as he commanded them,

for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah near Mamre, which Abraham bought along with the field as a burial site from Ephron the Hethite.

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.

Then after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up with him to bury his father.

When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back in full for all of the evil that we did to him."

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

So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this 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.

Thus you are to tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive the transgression 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.

Then his brothers also went and fell down in front of him, and they said, "Look, we are your slaves."

But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, 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.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God turned it into good in order to bring about this present result, to save the lives of many people.

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.

So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." And he consoled 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.

So Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

Joseph saw Ephraim's descendants to the third generation. The children also of Makir, the son of Manasseh, were counted as Joseph's own.

And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he promised 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.

Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, "God will surely take care of you. Then you must carry up my bones from here."
