Genesis 50 (CTH)

1Hat navah Joseph ni a na pa e mithmai a tabo sin teh ka laihoi a pahnuep.Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.

2Joseph 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.And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,

3A 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.taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4Ahni khuinae hnin a baw totouh, Joseph ni Faro imthungkhu koe a dei pouh teh, na lung ka youk pawiteh, pahren lahoi Faro hnâthai vah,When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please tell Pharaoh that

5Apa 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.my father made me swear an oath when he said, ‘I am about to die. You must bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Now let me go and bury my father, and then return.”

6Faro ni, thoe na bo sak e patetlah na pa teh pakawm, telah atipouh.Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

7Hatdawkvah, 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,Then Joseph went to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh accompanied him—the elders of Pharaoh’s household and all the elders of the land of Egypt—

8Joseph 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.along with all of Joseph’s household, and his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children and flocks and herds were left in Goshen.

9Ahnimouh koevah, rangleng hoi marangransanaw hai a cei awh dawkvah, tamihupui lah ao.Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.

10Jordan namran e Atad cangkatinnae koevah a pha awh. Hote hmuen koe hnin sari touh thung a ka khai awh teh a tahungkhai awh.When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wailed loudly, and Joseph mourned for his father seven days.

11Hote 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.When the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.

12A canaw ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh hanlah a sak awh.So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.

13A 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.They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.

14A 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.After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.

15Joseph 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.When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph bears a grudge? Then he will surely repay us for all the evil that we did to him.”

16Hatdawkvah, Joseph koe dei hanelah tami a patoun awh teh, na pa ni a due hoehnahlan vah, hettelah Joseph koe na dei pouh han.So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,

17Nang 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.‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.’ So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.

18A hmaunaw ni hai a cei awh teh a hmalah tabo laihoi khenhaw! na sannaw lah ka o awh, telah atipouh awh.His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”

19Joseph ni ahnimouh koevah, taket awh hanh awh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut e yueng lah maw ka o.But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?

20Nangmouh 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.As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.

21Hatdawkvah, taket awh hanh. Nangmouh hoi na canaw teh pou na kawk awh han, telah atipouh. Hottelah lungmawng sak teh lawk kahawi hoi a pato.Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.

22Joseph teh ama hoi a na pa imthungkhunaw hoi Izip ram vah kho a sak awh. Joseph teh kum 110 touh a hring.Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.

23Joseph 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.He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.

24Joseph 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.Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

25Hatdawkvah, 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.And Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath and said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”

26Hatdawkvah, 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.So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
