1 Josef nogore kuom wuon-gi kendo noywak kuome monyodhe.
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
2 Eka Josef nochiko jotichne ma jothieth mondo olos ringre wuon-gi, Israel gi yath. Kuom mano jothiethgo noloso ringre Jakobo.
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.
3 Notieko ndalo piero angʼwen nikech mano e kaka kitundu molos gi yath idwaro mondo otieki. Jo-Misri noywage kuom ndalo piero abiriyo.
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten days.
4 Ka ndalo mag ywak noserumo, Josef nowuoyo gi jood Farao niya, “Ka unyalo timona ngʼwono, to nyisnauru Farao niya,
And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: 'If now I have found favour in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying:
5 ‘Kane wuora chiegni tho, nomiyo asingorane ni abiro yike e bur mane okunyo e piny Kanaan. Kuom mano yie adhi aike eka abiro duogo.’”
My father made me swear, saying: Lo, I die; in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come back.'
6 Farao nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo iyik wuonu mana kaka nomiyo isingorine.”
And Pharaoh said: 'Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.'
7 Kuom mano Josef nodhi moyiko wuon mare. Jotich Farao duto nodhi kode, ma gin jok midewo mane tiyo e dalane kendo e piny Misri duto,
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 kaachiel gi joode gi jood owetene kod jood wuon-gi. Nyithindo kod jamni gi dhok kende ema ne owe Goshen.
and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9 Joriemb geche gi Farese bende nodhi kode. Ne en gi oganda maduongʼ.
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company.
10 Kane gichopo kar dino cham man Atad, machiegni gi Jordan, negiywago wuon-gi matek kendo malit ahinya; kendo Josef nokawo ndalo abiriyo koywago wuon-gi.
And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they wailed with a very great and sore wailing; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 Kane jo-Kanaan modak kuno oneno ywak man kar dino cham man Atad, negiwacho niya, “Jo-Misri nigi kuyo mar ywak.” Mano ema omiyo iluongo loka Jordan kono ni Abel Mizraim.
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.' Wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12 Kuom mano yawuot Jakobo notimo mana kaka nochikogi:
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them.
13 Negitingʼo ringre nyaka Kanaan kendo giike e rogo man e puodho man Makpela, machiegni gi Mamre, mane Ibrahim ongʼiewo kaka kar yiko kaachiel gi puodhono koa kuom Efron ja-Hiti.
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 burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, in front of Mamre.
14 Bangʼ yiko wuon-gi, Josef nodok Misri kaachiel gi owetene kod ji mamoko mane odhi kode yiko wuon-gi.
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15 Kane owete Josef oneno ni wuon-gi osetho, negiwacho niya, “Mit ka Josef iye nowangʼ kodwa, mi ochulnwa kuor kuom richo duto mane watimone?”
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said: 'It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him.'
16 Kuom mano negioro wach ne Josef kagiwacho niya, “Kane pok wuonu otho noweyonwa wach niya,
And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying: 'Thy father did command before he died, saying:
17 ‘Akwayi mondo iwene owetegi richogi kod gima mono mane gitimoni.’ Kuom mano yie iwenwa timbewa duto ma wasetimoni nikech wan jotich Nyasach wuonu.” To kane Josef owinjo wechego, pi wangʼe noton.
So shall ye say unto Joseph: Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father.' And Joseph wept when they spoke unto him.
18 Eka owetene nobiro ire kendo ogoyo chongegi piny e nyime: Negiwachone niya, “Wan wasumbinigi.”
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said: 'Behold, we are thy bondmen.'
19 To Josef nowachonegi niya, “Kik ubed maluor. An dakaw kar Nyasaye?
And Joseph said unto them: 'Fear not; for am I in the place of God?
20 Un ne udwaro mondo utimna marach, to Nyasaye nodwaro mondo obed gima ber; mondo oresgo ngima ji mangʼeny, makoro ngima mana nikech wachno.
And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
21 Omiyo koro kik uluor. Abiro ritou kaachiel gi nyithindu.” Kamano nokweyo chunygi kendo owuoyo kodgi gi muolo.
Now therefore fear ye not; I will sustain you, and your little ones.' And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them.
22 Josef nodak Misri, kaachiel gi jood wuon-gi. Nodak higni mia achiel kod apar.
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23 Kendo noneno nyikwa Efraim nyaka tiengʼ mar adek. Bende noneno nyithind Makir wuod Manase kinywolo mokwanogi ka nyithinde.
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph's knees.
24 Eka Josef nowacho ne owetene niya, “Koro achiegni tho. To Nyasaye biro resou kendo golou e pinyni mi oteru e piny mane osingore ka okwongʼore ne Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo.”
And Joseph said unto his brethren: 'I die; but God will surely remember you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'
25 Kendo Josef nomiyo yawuot Israel okwongʼore kendo owachonegi niya, “Nyasaye biro resou, kendo nyaka une ni ukawo chokena ka udhigo.”
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying: 'God will surely remember you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.'
26 Kamano Josef notho ka en ja-higni mia achiel kod apar. Kendo bangʼ kane gisewiro ringre gi yath, negikete e sanduku e piny Misri kuno.
So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
