Genesis 50

1 Joseph el putatyang nu fin papa tumal ac tung ac ngok mutal.

And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.

2 Na Joseph el sap mwet ono lal in unwela papa tumal, manol in oan paht.

And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

3 Elos orekma kac len angngaul, fal nu ke lusen pacl se eneneyuk tuh mano se in ku in oan paht. Mwet Egypt elos eoksra kacl Jacob ke len itngoul.

And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.

4 Ke safla pacl in eoksra uh, Joseph el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal tokosra, “Nunak munas, us kas se inge nu sel tokosra:

And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:

5 ‘Ke papa tumuk el apkuran in misa, el sap nga orala wulela se nu sel lah nga ac piknilya inkulyuk se ma el akoela in acn Canaan. Ke sripa se inge, nga siyuk kom in nunak munas filiyula nga in som pikinya we, na nga fah foloko.’”

My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

6 Ac tokosra el topuk, “Fahsrot pikinya papa tomom an, oana ke kom tuh wuleang nu sel an.”

And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.

7 Ouinge Joseph el som in pikinya papa tumal. Mwet pwapa lal tokosra nukewa, mwet fulat inkul sel, ac mwet kol nukewa in acn Egypt elos welul Joseph som.

So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

8 Sou lal, tamulel lal, ac mwet saya nukewa in sou lun papa tumal elos welul pac som. Tulik srisrik na natulos, wi sheep, nani, ac cow uh pa lula in acn Goshen.

And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

9 Mwet kasrusr fin chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse elos oayapa welul som — u na lulap se.

And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.

10 Ke elos tuku nu ke acn in kulkul wheat Atad, kutulap in Infacl Jordan, elos wowoyak ke tung ke pacl na loeloes se, ac Joseph el sapkin elos in eoksra len itkosr.

And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

11 Ke mwet Canaan elos liye mwet ma eoksra in acn Atad inge, elos fahk, “Ku fuka lupan eoksra se mwet Egypt inge oru uh!” Pa inge ma se pwanang pangpang acn sac Abel Mizraim.

And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

12 Ouinge wen natul Jacob elos oru oana ma el sapkin nu selos.

So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:

13 Elos usla manol nu Canaan ac piknilya in luf se Machpelah, kutulap in acn Mamre, ke ipin acn se ma Abraham el tuh molela sel Ephron mwet Hit mwe kulyuk.

For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.

14 Tukun Joseph el pikinya papa tumal, el ac tamulel lal ac mwet nukewa ma welul som in pukmas ah, elos folokla nu Egypt.

And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.

15 Tukun papa tumalos ah misa, na mwet lel Joseph elos fahk, “Joseph el ac fin toasr sesr ac akoeyuk foloksak ke ma nukewa kut tuh oru koluk nu sel ah, na ac fuka?”

Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

16 Ouinge elos sapla nu sel Joseph ac fahk, “Meet liki papa tumasr ah misa,

So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,

17 el tuh fahk nu sesr kut in siyuk sum ac fahk, ‘Nunak munas nu sin tamulel lom ke ma koluk ma elos tuh orala nu sum ah.’ Inge kut siyuk kom in nunak munas, tulekutla ke ma sufal ma kut, mwet kulansap lun God lun papa tomom, tuh orala nu sum ah.” Joseph el tung ke pacl se el eis kas inge.

You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.

18 Na tamulel lal elos tuku ac epasrla nwe ten ye mutal ac fahk, “Kut tuku pa inge nu ye motom in mwet kohs lom.”

Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.

19 Tusruktu Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Nikmet kowos sangeng. Nga tia ku in oru acnu mu God pa nga.

And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?

20 Kowos tuh orek pwapa koluk lainyu, tusruktu God El furokla nu ke sie ouiya wo, ma in molela moul lun mwet puspis su moul misenge ke sripen ma su tuh sikyak.

As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.

21 Wangin ma kowos ac sangeng kac. Nga ac fah liyekowosyang ac tulik nutuwos an.” Ouinge el sifil akkeyalos ke kas na kulang su mokleak insialos.

So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.

22 Joseph el mutana in acn Egypt wi sou lun papa tumal. El tuh yac siofok singoul ke pacl se el misa ah.

Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.

23 El moul ac liye tulik natul Ephraim, ac tulik nutin natul. El oayapa moul nwe ke na el eisalos tulik natul Machir, wen natul Manasseh, nu in sou uh.

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

24 El fahk nu sin tamulel lal kewa, “Nga apkuran in misa, tusruktu pwayena God El ac fah liyekowosyang ac pwenkowosla liki facl se inge nu in facl se su El wulela ku na kac nu sel Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.”

Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.

25 Na Joseph el siyuk sin mwet lal in orala sie fulahk. El fahk, “Wulema nu sik lah ke pacl se God El ac pwenkowosla nu in facl sac, kowos ac us srik wi kowos.”

Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.

26 Ouinge Joseph el misa Egypt ke el yac siofok singoul. Elos onoela manol ac filiya in box in mas se.

So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.
