Kamtawngnae 50

1 Hat navah Joseph ni a na pa e mithmai a tabo sin teh ka laihoi a pahnuep.

And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.

2 Joseph ni tâsibawinaw hah a na pa e ro pawk hoeh nahanlah tâsi hluk hane kâ a poe. Hatdawkvah, tâsibawinaw ni Isarel e ro teh a pawk hoeh nahanlah tâsi a hluk awh.

And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

3 A ro a rakuengnae dawk hnin 40 touh a ro. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ro a pawk thai hoeh nahanlah rakuengnae dawk hottelah ouk a ro. Hahoi, hnin 70 touh thung Izipnaw a khuika awh.

And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.

4 Ahni khuinae hnin a baw totouh, Joseph ni Faro imthungkhu koe a dei pouh teh, na lung ka youk pawiteh, pahren lahoi Faro hnâthai vah,

And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:

5 Apa ni lawk na kam sak, khenhaw! ka due han toe, Kanaan ram phuen ka ran tangcoung e dawk, haw vah na pakawm loe, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, pahren lahoi apa heh na pakawm sak ei, bout ka ban han ati, telah na dei pouh awh, telah atipouh.

My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

6 Faro ni, thoe na bo sak e patetlah na pa teh pakawm, telah atipouh.

And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.

7 Hatdawkvah, Joseph teh a na pa pakawp hanelah a cei. Faro e a sannaw pueng, imthungkhu dawk e kacue naw hoi Izip ram e kacuenaw pueng,

So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

8 Joseph imthungkhunaw pueng, a hmaunaw hoi a na pa imthungkhunaw pueng hai a cei awh. A ca kanawnaw hoi tuhunaw hoi maitonaw teh Goshen ram dawk a ta awh.

And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

9 Ahnimouh koevah, rangleng hoi marangransanaw hai a cei awh dawkvah, tamihupui lah ao.

And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.

10 Jordan namran e Atad cangkatinnae koevah a pha awh. Hote hmuen koe hnin sari touh thung a ka khai awh teh a tahungkhai awh.

And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

11 Hote ram Kanaan taminaw ni Atad cangkatinnae koe vah a yu ro a tahungkhai awh e a hmu awh teh, hetheh Izipnaw e tami kadout tahungkhai e kalenpoung doeh, telah ati awh. Hatdawkvah, hote hmuen teh 'Abel-mizraim' telah ati awh. Hot teh, Jordan namran lah kaawm e doeh.

And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

12 A canaw ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh hanlah a sak awh.

So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:

13 A canaw ni Kanaan ram a kâenkhai awh teh Abraham ni kâpakawp nahane hmuen râw lah, Hit tami Ephron koehoi law a ran e Mamre kho hmalah kaawm e Makpelah law e lungngoum thung vah a pakawp awh.

For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.

14 A na pa a pakawp awh hnukkhu, Joseph hoi a hmaunaw hoi a na pa pakawpnae koe kacetnaw pueng hoi cungtalah Izip ram lah a ban awh.

And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.

15 Joseph e hmaunaw ni a na pa a due e hah a hmu navah, Joseph ni na hmawt ngai awh hoeh vaiteh, ahni koe sak awh e hnokahawi hoeh e naw pueng hah moi koung na pathung han vaimoe, telah a kâti awh.

Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

16 Hatdawkvah, Joseph koe dei hanelah tami a patoun awh teh, na pa ni a due hoehnahlan vah, hettelah Joseph koe na dei pouh han.

So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,

17 Nang lathueng yonnae a sak awh eiteh, pahren lahoi na hmaunaw e kâtapoenae hoi a yonnae teh ngaithoum loe, telah kâ na poe. Hatdawkvah, na pa Cathut e sannaw e kâtapoenae hah ngaithoum pouh, telah ati. Ahni koe a dei pouh navah, Joseph teh a ka.

You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.

18 A hmaunaw ni hai a cei awh teh a hmalah tabo laihoi khenhaw! na sannaw lah ka o awh, telah atipouh awh.

Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.

19 Joseph ni ahnimouh koevah, taket awh hanh awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e yueng lah maw ka o.

And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?

20 Nangmouh ni ka lathueng vah, hawihoehnae hah sak han na kâcai awh, hateiteh, Cathut ni sahnin vah tami moikapap hringnae rungngang hanelah hawinae hah sak han noenae lah ao.

As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.

21 Hatdawkvah, taket awh hanh. Nangmouh hoi na canaw teh pou na kawk awh han, telah atipouh. Hottelah lungmawng sak teh lawk kahawi hoi a pato.

So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.

22 Joseph teh ama hoi a na pa imthungkhunaw hoi Izip ram vah kho a sak awh. Joseph teh kum 110 touh a hring.

Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.

23 Joseph ni Ephraim e a canaw, a na mincanaw hoi se thum totouh e a hmu. Manasseh capa, Makhir canaw hai Joseph e khokpakhu dawk a khe awh.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

24 Joseph ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe, ka due han toe, hateiteh, Cathut ni na khet han. Hete ram dawk hoi na tâcokhai awh vaiteh, Abraham, Isak hoi Jakop koe thoebo hoi lawkkam e ram dawk na ceikhai awh han, telah atipouh.

Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.

25 Hatdawkvah, Joseph ni Isarel catounnaw hah lawkkamnae a sak teh, Cathut ni na khet awh roeroe han. Ka hru hah hete hmuen koehoi na ceikhai awh han, telah ati.

Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.

26 Hatdawkvah, Joseph teh kum 110 touh a pha nah a due. A ro teh kapawk thai hoeh lah a sak awh teh Izip e thingkong buet touh thungvah a ta awh.

So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.
