Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Hichun Joseph apa mai senan akineiyin apa chunga kap pum in akoi jin achop in ahi.
2 Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
Chuin Joseph in asohte louthem ho chu apa longdamsa tom din thu apen, hichun louthem ho chun atom tauvin ahi.
3 So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
Hitobanga longdamsa kitom chu nisom li tobang lut jia ahi; chule Egypt miho ama chu nisom sagi alunghem pi vin ahi.
4 When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
Hichun lunghem na nikho ho chu ahung kichai tan, Joseph in lengpa Pharaoh insung mite chu ahoulimpin, “Lungset tah in kadei khat neibol peh thei diu ham Pharaoh koma keima khel in neiga sei peh dingu kanom e,” ati.
5 ‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
Kapa in adamlai in eina kihahsel sah in hitin aseiye, “Keima ka hinkho beivah ding ahitai, hijeh chun keima tahsa hi Canaan gam'a nei nung lhut teiyin ati, chule keima kivui na dia lhan ka kisem na muna nei vui tei ding ahi ati. Hijeh chun lungset tah in neisol inlang kapa ga kivui ingting kin kivuina akichai teng tep son louva kahung kinungle ding ahi tai.
6 After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
Chuin Pharaoh in adonbut in, “Napan nangma na kitep sah na bang in gachen lang napa chu gaki vuitan,” ati.
7 So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
Hichun Joseph chu apa Israel vui din achetan ahile Pharaoh in alhon piding in Egypt gamsunga alen alal ho ahin asohte ahin, asemang pachong ho jouse toh asol than ahi.
8 His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
Joseph in a insung mite ahin asopite ahinpui in chule chapang neocha hole gancha hole kelcha ho ahin, sangan hole bongho le adang hose vang Goshem a ahin dalhau vin ahi.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
Chuin amaho jouse toh sakol kangtalai toh sakol chunga atou un Joseph chu alhon piuvin ahi.
10 They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
Hichun amaho Jordan vadunga Atad chang vohna mun ahung lhun un amaho gimna tah in a lunghem na aneiyun lhase tah in aum un Joseph in jong nisa gi jen lunghem tah in aum in ahi.
11 When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
Chuin hiche a cheng Canaan gam miten Atad chang voh na muna amaho lunghem tah a aumu chu amu uvin, hichun amahon hitin asei uve, “Tuhi Egypt mite dinga nasa taha lunghem lhaset phat ahin hijeh chun hiche mun chu Abel Mizraim asah tauvin ahi.”
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
Hichun Jacob chaten ama in athupeh bang bang in abolpeh'un ahi.
13 They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
Ama hon apa longdamsa chu Canaan gam'a apolut tauvin Macphelah kotong phailei a Mamre koma Abraham'in hiche mun chu Ephron Hititte pa koma atonsot a kivui thei na dinga ana choh doh ahitai.
14 After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
Aman apa Jacob chu avui jou chun Joseph ahin asopite ho jouse chule midang akilhon pi jouse Egypt gam'a ahung ki nungle tauvin ahi.
15 After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
Ahin tua hi amaho apao umtah luo jeh chun Joseph sopi ho chu hatah in ahung tija tauvin, amahon aseiyun, “Joseph chun alunghan na ho eihon inabolset nau jouse chu ahin phulah ding ahi,” atiuve.
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Hijeh chun amahon hiche thucheng ho hi Joseph hetdin athot tauve, napa athi masang chun hiche thuguh ho eina seipeh uve.
17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
Joseph henga hiti hin sei peh uvin lang, “Na heng'a ka tao ahi, na sopiten na chunga thil gilou abol uva suhkhel anei nau chu ngaidam in,” ‘tin aseiye tiuvin,’ ati. Hijeh chun keiho na henga katao vui, na hingpa napa Pathen sohte suhkhel na chu ngaidam tan atiuve; ajah a athusei jeh-u chun Joseph akap tai.
18 Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
Hichun asopi ho ahung un ama masanga akun un hitin aseiyun, “keima ho hi nangma soh kahiuve.”
19 But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
Ahin Joseph in amaho chu a houlimpi in, “Nangho tija hih un, keima Pathen khel a ka hipoi?”
20 As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
Nangma hon thil phalou nana gong un ahin Pathen in aphalam tah in ahin gong in tu tua mutheiya um mihem tamtah hinkho huhhing'a um thei ahi.
21 So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
Hijeh chun nangma ho kicha hih un, nangma ho ahin nachate hou ahin, ka ngailut na kajom jing ding ahi, chule Joseph in avel in angailut avetsah in thu ngeitah in ama ho chu ahoulim pin ahi.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
Joseph ahin asopite ho jouse Egypt ma acheng soh keiyin, Joseph chu atahsa kum ja khat le kum som alhing tan ahi.
23 He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
Chuin Joseph in khang thum chan na geiya Ephraim chilhah ho jong amun chu jong leh Joseph thagui a peng Manasseh chapa Machir chate jong ana mupeh in ahi.
24 One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Chuin Joseph in asopite jah a, “Keivang kathina ding anai lam tan, ahivang in Pathen in nangho nahungvil tei yun tin, hiche gam a kon hin Abraham, Isaac chule Jacob henga anaki hahsel nagama dingin nahin puitou vunte,” ati.
25 Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
Hichun Joseph in Israel chate chu aki tepsah in chuin aman hitin aseiye, “Pathen in nahin kithopiuva hiche muna kona nahung pui teng ule hiche muna kona kagu kachang ho hi na nungpoh teitei diu ahi,” ati.
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
Hichun Joseph kum jakhat le kum som ahin ahinkho abeitai. Hichun Egypt miten Joseph long damsa chu atom un athi kong chu Egypt gam sunga thingkong sunga akoi tauve.
