Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Hat navah Joseph ni a na pa e mithmai a tabo sin teh ka laihoi a pahnuep.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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,
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.’”
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.
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.’”
Faro ni, thoe na bo sak e patetlah na pa teh pakawm, telah atipouh.
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.
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,
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 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.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
Ahnimouh koevah, rangleng hoi marangransanaw hai a cei awh dawkvah, tamihupui lah ao.
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.
Jordan namran e Atad cangkatinnae koevah a pha awh. Hote hmuen koe hnin sari touh thung a ka khai awh teh a tahungkhai awh.
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].’
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.
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
A canaw ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh hanlah a sak awh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?”
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.
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Hatdawkvah, Joseph koe dei hanelah tami a patoun awh teh, na pa ni a due hoehnahlan vah, hettelah Joseph koe na dei pouh han.
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.
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.
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.”
A hmaunaw ni hai a cei awh teh a hmalah tabo laihoi khenhaw! na sannaw lah ka o awh, telah atipouh awh.
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]
Joseph ni ahnimouh koevah, taket awh hanh awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e yueng lah maw ka o.
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!
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.
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.
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.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
Joseph teh ama hoi a na pa imthungkhunaw hoi Izip ram vah kho a sak awh. Joseph teh kum 110 touh a hring.
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].
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
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.
