Kamtawngnae 50
1 Hat navah Joseph ni a na pa e mithmai a tabo sin teh ka laihoi a pahnuep.
Joseph, realizing this, fell upon 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 he instructed his servant physicians to embalm his father with aromatics.
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 while they were fulfilling his orders, forty days passed. For this was the method of embalming dead bodies. And Egypt wept for him 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 time for mourning was fulfilled, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharaoh: “If I have found favor in your sight, speak to the ears of 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.
For my father made me swear, saying: ‘See, I am dying. You shall bury me in my sepulcher which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Therefore, I shall go up and bury my father, and then return.”
6 Faro ni, thoe na bo sak e patetlah na pa teh pakawm, telah atipouh.
And Pharaoh said to him, “Go up and bury your father, just as he made you swear.”
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 as he went up, all the elders of the house of Pharaoh went with him, along with every patriarch in 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 the house of Joseph with his brothers, except their little ones and flocks and also the herds, which they left behind in the land of Goshen.
9 Ahnimouh koevah, rangleng hoi marangransanaw hai a cei awh dawkvah, tamihupui lah ao.
Likewise, he had in his company chariots and horsemen. And it became a crowd without restraint.
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 arrived at the threshing place of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan. There they spent seven full days celebrating the funeral rites with a great and vehement lamentation.
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 inhabitants of the land of Canaan had seen this, they said, “This is a great Lamentation for the Egyptians.” And for this reason, the name of that place was called, “The Lamentation of Egypt.”
12 A canaw ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh hanlah a sak awh.
And so, the sons of Jacob did just as he had instructed them.
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.
And carrying him into the land of Canaan, they buried him in the double cave, which Abraham had bought along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial, opposite 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 Joseph returned into Egypt with his brothers and all those of his company, having buried his father.
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 that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that 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 a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
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.
that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
18 A hmaunaw ni hai a cei awh teh a hmalah tabo laihoi khenhaw! na sannaw lah ka o awh, telah atipouh awh.
And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
19 Joseph ni ahnimouh koevah, taket awh hanh awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e yueng lah maw ka o.
And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will 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.
You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
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.
Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
22 Joseph teh ama hoi a na pa imthungkhunaw hoi Izip ram vah kho a sak awh. Joseph teh kum 110 touh a hring.
And he lived in Egypt with all his father’s house; and he survived for one hundred and ten years.
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 he saw the sons of Ephraim to the third generation. Likewise, the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born onto 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.
After these things happened, he said to his brothers: “God will visit you after my death, and he will make you ascend from this land into the land which he swore to Abraham, 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.
And when he had made them swear and had said, “God will visit you; carry my bones with you from this place,”
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.
he died, having completed one hundred and ten years of his life. And having been embalmed with aromatics, he was laid to rest in a coffin in Egypt.
