1Anante Josefe'a nefa avugosafi umseno, zavi atenenteno antako hunte'ne.Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.

2Henka Josefe'a fri kerfare kva nehia eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za, kehiaza hu'za avufgamo'ma kasri'zanku agu'afina mago'a marasini nente'za eri so'e hute'za, Israelina (Jekopu) masave fre'za ante'naze.And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,

340'a zage gnafi e'i anazana huga hazankino, ana foti'a zagegnafina avufga eri so'e hu'naze. Ana hazageno Isipi vahe'mo'za 70'a zagegnafi zamasunku hu'za zavira ate'naze.taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

4Anante zavi'ma atekna agateregeno, Josefe'a anage huno Fero nompi eri'za vahera zamasmi'ne, Tamagra menima nagri'ma antahi namisuta muse huramantoanki, Ferona amanage huta ome asmiho,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

5Nenfa'a huvempa ke hunanteno amanage hu'ne, nagra ha fri'za huanki, nagrama Kenani mopafi kerigama kafinte'nofi anantega ome asenantegahane. Anage hu'negu natrege'na avufga'a eri'na mareri'na ome asentete'na, ete a'neno.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.”

6Higeno Fero'a amanage hu'ne, Anagamu vunka negafa'ma huvempa huno kasmi'neaza hunka ome asento.Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”

7Hagi Josefe'a nefa asenteku anagamu marerigeno, Fero eri'za vahe'mo'zane, noma'afi kva vahe'ene, mika Isipi mopafi kva vahe'ene,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—

8mika Josefe naga'ene, nefu'zane, nefa naga'enena vu'naze. Hianagi osi mofavre naga'zmine afu kevu zaminena Goseni mopafi zamatre'za vu'naze.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.

9Anama Josefe'enema vu'nazana rama'a sondia vahe'ene vu'nazankino, mago'a karisifi maniza nevazageno, mago'a hosi agumpifi mani'za vu'naze.Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.

10Hagi ana vahe'mo'za vu'za Jordani timofo kantu kaziga ankenarega, witi honama neharaza kumate Atadi umani'naze. Anante 7ni'a zage gna zamagra umanine'za, zamagrama zamavuzmavapima nehazaza hu'za, nezmanfankura tusi zavi ate'naze.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.

11Ana mopafima nemaniza Kenani vahe'mo'za kazama witi akru neharaza kumate Atadi mani''neza zavi netage'za nezmage'za anage hu'naze. Ama'i Isipi vahe'mo'za tusi'a zavi atetere, nehu'za agi'a Abel-mizraim hu'nazankino, zage hanati kaziga Jodani me'ne.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.

12Hagi Jekopu mofavre naga'mo'za nezmafa'ma zmasami'neaza hu'naze.So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.

13Agri mofavre'mo'za kerfa'a eri'za Kenani mopafi vu'za, Makapela havegampi Mamre kuma tvaonte ome asente'naze, ko'ma Abrahamu'ma vahe asente mopae huno Hiti ne' Efroninteti, miza hu'nea mopafi asente'naze.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.

14Ana'ma huno Josefe'ma nefama asentetege'za, afuhe'zane nefama asenteku mareri'naza vahe'ene maka ete Isipi moparega vu'naze.After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.

15Hagi nezmafa'ma fritege'za, Josefe nefu'za anage hu'naze, tagrama havizama hunte'nona nona'a, tagrira na'a hurantegahie?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.”

16Nehu'za zamagra Josefena ke atrente'za anange hu'naze, Negafa'a frinaku nehuno,So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,

17anage huta Josefena asmiho hu'ne, muse (plis) hugantoanki, havi avu'ava hugante'nazana kumi zamia atre'zmanto. Menina muse (plis) hugantoanki, negafa Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'mota havi avu'ava hugante'none. Ana kema Josefe'ma nentahino'a zavi ate'ne.‘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.

18Anante afuhe'za e'za Josefe avuga zamugosaregati umase'za anage hu'naze, Antahio, tagra kagri kazokazo eri'za vahere.His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”

19Hianagi Josefe'a anage huno zamasmi'ne, korora osiho, nagra Anumzana omani'nogu keaga huoramantegahue.But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?

20Tamagra nagrira nazeri haviza hu'nazanagi, Ra Anumzamo'a rama'a vahe zamaza hunaku nentahino anara hu'neankino, menina ana zamo'a fore nehie.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.

21E'ina hu'negu tamagra korora osiho, nagra tamagri'ene, neone mofavre naga'enena tamazeri knare hugahue. Nehuno zamanukige antege nehuno, knare kegaga huzami'ne.Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.

22Hagi Josefe'a Isipi mopare afu aganahezane mani'neno, 110ni'a zagegafu hu'ne.Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.

23Efraemi mofavremo mofavre antegeno negeno, Manase ne'mofavre'mo Makiri mofavre antegeno Josefe'a amote zamavarenteno keteno fri'ne.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.

24Josefe'a amanage huno afuhe'ina zamasmi'ne, Nagra fri'za hue, Anumzamo tamagrira kegava huneramanteno, tamavreno ama mopafintira marerino Abrahamuma, Aisakima, Jekopuma huvempa huzmante'nea mopare vugahie.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.”

25Anante Josefe'a Israeli ne'mofavre nagara amanage huno huvempa huno zamasmi'ne, Anumzamo tamagrira kegava huramante'nena zaferinani'a erita mareriho.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.”

26Hagi Josefe'a 110ni'a zagegafu maniteno frige'za, avufgamo'ma kasrizanku agu'afina mago'a marasini ante'za eri so'e hute'za masave freza, zavoafi eri antageno Isipi mopafi me'ne.So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
