Genesis 50
1 Joseph el putatyang nu fin papa tumal ac tung ac ngok mutal.
Joseph went and hugged his father, weeping over him and kissing him.
2 Na Joseph el sap mwet ono lal in unwela papa tumal, manol in oan paht.
Then Joseph instructed the physicians who worked for him to embalm his father's body. So the physicians embalmed Israel.
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.
This took a full 40 days, the normal time for the process, and the Egyptians mourned for him for 70 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:
Once the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to Pharaoh's officials, “If you'd be so kind, please speak to Pharaoh on my behalf, and explain to him that
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 swear an oath, telling me, ‘You must bury me in the tomb I've prepared for myself in Canaan. Please allow me to go and bury my father and then I'll return.’”
6 Ac tokosra el topuk, “Fahsrot pikinya papa tomom an, oana ke kom tuh wuleang nu sel an.”
Pharaoh replied, “Go and bury your father as he made you swear to do.”
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.
Joseph went to bury his father, and all Pharaoh's officials went with him—all Pharaoh's senior advisors and all the leaders 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.
as well as Joseph's family, his brothers, and his father's family. They only left the small children and their flocks and herds back in Goshen.
9 Mwet kasrusr fin chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse elos oayapa welul som — u na lulap se.
They were accompanied by chariots and horsemen—a really large procession.
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.
When they got to the threshing floor of Atad, on the other side of the Jordan, they wept loudly in sorrow. Joseph held a seven-day ceremony of mourning for his father there.
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.
The Canaanites who lived there watched the ceremony of mourning at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, “This is a very sad time of mourning for the Egyptians,” so they renamed the place Abel-mizraim, which is on the other side of the Jordan.
12 Ouinge wen natul Jacob elos oru oana ma el sapkin nu selos.
Jacob's sons did what he had instructed them 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.
They carried his body to Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
14 Tukun Joseph el pikinya papa tumal, el ac tamulel lal ac mwet nukewa ma welul som in pukmas ah, elos folokla nu Egypt.
After they had buried their father, Joseph and his brothers returned to Egypt along with all those who had gone with them.
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?”
However, now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became worried, saying, “Maybe Joseph is holding a grudge against us, and he'll pay us back for all the bad things we did to him.”
16 Ouinge elos sapla nu sel Joseph ac fahk, “Meet liki papa tumasr ah misa,
So they sent a message to Joseph to tell him, “Before your father died, he gave this order,
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.
‘This is what you are to tell Joseph: Forgive your brothers their sins, the bad things they did to you, treating you in such a nasty way.’ Now please forgive us our sins, we who are servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received their message, he cried.
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 themselves came and fell down before Joseph and said, “We are your slaves!”
19 Tusruktu Joseph el fahk nu selos, “Nikmet kowos sangeng. Nga tia ku in oru acnu mu God pa nga.
“You don't need to be afraid!” he told them. “I don't stand in the place of God, do I?
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.
While you planned bad things for me, God planned it for good so that in the end many lives could be saved.
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 don't worry. I'll go on taking care of you and your children.” Speaking kindly like this he calmed them down.
22 Joseph el mutana in acn Egypt wi sou lun papa tumal. El tuh yac siofok singoul ke pacl se el misa ah.
Joseph remained in Egypt, together with his father's whole family. He lived to be 110,
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 saw three generations of his son Ephraim, and the sons of Makir, Manasseh's son, were placed in his lap when they were born.
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.”
“I'm going to die soon,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will be with you, and he will lead you out of this country to the land that he swore to give to Abraham, 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.”
Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, saying, “When God comes to be with you, you must take my bones with you when you leave.”
26 Ouinge Joseph el misa Egypt ke el yac siofok singoul. Elos onoela manol ac filiya in box in mas se.
Joseph died when he was 110. After his body was embalmed, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
