Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Josef nogore kuom wuon-gi kendo noywak kuome monyodhe.
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.
Eka Josef nochiko jotichne ma jothieth mondo olos ringre wuon-gi, Israel gi yath. Kuom mano jothiethgo noloso ringre Jakobo.
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.
Notieko ndalo piero angʼwen nikech mano e kaka kitundu molos gi yath idwaro mondo otieki. Jo-Misri noywage kuom ndalo piero abiriyo.
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:
Ka ndalo mag ywak noserumo, Josef nowuoyo gi jood Farao niya, “Ka unyalo timona ngʼwono, to nyisnauru Farao niya,
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.’”
‘Kane wuora chiegni tho, nomiyo asingorane ni abiro yike e bur mane okunyo e piny Kanaan. Kuom mano yie adhi aike eka abiro duogo.’”
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.’”
Farao nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo iyik wuonu mana kaka nomiyo isingorine.”
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.
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,
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.
kaachiel gi joode gi jood owetene kod jood wuon-gi. Nyithindo kod jamni gi dhok kende ema ne owe Goshen.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
Joriemb geche gi Farese bende nodhi kode. Ne en gi oganda maduongʼ.
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.
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.
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].’
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.
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
Kuom mano yawuot Jakobo notimo mana kaka nochikogi:
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.
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.
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.
Bangʼ yiko wuon-gi, Josef nodok Misri kaachiel gi owetene kod ji mamoko mane odhi kode yiko wuon-gi.
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?”
Kane owete Josef oneno ni wuon-gi osetho, negiwacho niya, “Mit ka Josef iye nowangʼ kodwa, mi ochulnwa kuor kuom richo duto mane watimone?”
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Kuom mano negioro wach ne Josef kagiwacho niya, “Kane pok wuonu otho noweyonwa wach niya,
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.
‘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.
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.”
Eka owetene nobiro ire kendo ogoyo chongegi piny e nyime: Negiwachone niya, “Wan wasumbinigi.”
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]
To Josef nowachonegi niya, “Kik ubed maluor. An dakaw kar Nyasaye?
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!
Un ne udwaro mondo utimna marach, to Nyasaye nodwaro mondo obed gima ber; mondo oresgo ngima ji mangʼeny, makoro ngima mana nikech wachno.
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.
Omiyo koro kik uluor. Abiro ritou kaachiel gi nyithindu.” Kamano nokweyo chunygi kendo owuoyo kodgi gi muolo.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
Josef nodak Misri, kaachiel gi jood wuon-gi. Nodak higni mia achiel kod apar.
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].
Kendo noneno nyikwa Efraim nyaka tiengʼ mar adek. Bende noneno nyithind Makir wuod Manase kinywolo mokwanogi ka nyithinde.
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.”
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.”
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.
Kendo Josef nomiyo yawuot Israel okwongʼore kendo owachonegi niya, “Nyasaye biro resou, kendo nyaka une ni ukawo chokena ka udhigo.”
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
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.
