¹¶ Na ka hinga a Hohepa ki runga ki te mata o tona papa, a ka tangi i runga i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia.

¹And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

²Na ka whakahau a Hohepa i ana tangata, i nga kairongoa, kia whakapakokotia tona papa; na whakapakokotia ana a Iharaira e nga kairongoa.

²And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

³Na ka tutuki ona ra e wha tekau; ko nga ra hoki ena e whakatutukitia ana mo te hunga e whakapakokotia ana: a e whitu tekau nga ra i uhungatia ai ia e nga Ihipiana.

³And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.

⁴A, ka taka nga ra e uhungatia ia ia, ka korero a Hohepa ki te whare o Parao, ka mea, Na, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koutou, tena, korero atu ki nga taringa o Parao, mea atu,

⁴And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

⁵I whakaoati toku papa i ahau, i mea, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei roto i taku tanumanga i keria e ahau moku ki te whenua o Kanaana, hei reira ahau tanumia ai e koe. Na kia tukua ahau e koe aianei kia haere ki runga, ki te tanu i toku papa, ka hoki mai ai.

⁵My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

⁶Na ka mea a Parao, Haere ki runga ki te tanu i tou papa, kia rite ki tana i whakaoati ai i a koe.

⁶And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

⁷¶ Na haere ana a Hohepa ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i haere tahi ano i a ia nga pononga katoa a Parao, nga kaumatua o tona whare, me nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa,

⁷And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

⁸Me te whare katoa ano hoki o Hohepa, ratou ko ona tuakana, me te whare ano hoki o tona papa; ko a ratou tamariki anake, me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau i mahue i a ratou i te whenua o Kohena.

⁸And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

⁹I haere tahi ano i a ia nga hariata me nga tangata hoiho: he nui whakaharahara te tira.

⁹And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

¹⁰Na ka tae ratou ki te patunga witi a Atara, i tawahi o Horano, a he tino nui whakaharahara te tangihanga i tangi ai ratou ki reira: e whitu hoki nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tona papa.

¹⁰And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

¹¹A, ka kite nga tangata whenua, nga Kanaani, i te uhunga i te patunga witi a Atara, ka mea ratou, He uhunga nui tenei na nga Ihipiana: na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o reira ko Apere Mitiraima, kei tawahi hoki o Horano.

¹¹And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

¹²Na rite tonu ki tana i whakahau ai ki a ratou tana tama i mea ai ki a ia:

¹²And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

¹³I kawea hoki ia e ana tama ki te whenua o Kanaana, a tanumia ana ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i hokona tahitia nei e Aperahama me te parae i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga, kei te ritenga atu o Mamere.

¹³For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

¹⁴Na hoki ana a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou tahi ko ona tuakana, ko nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere tahi i a ia ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i te mutunga o tana tanu i tona papa.

¹⁴And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

¹⁵¶ Na, i te kitenga o nga tuakana o Hohepa kua mate to ratou papa, ka mea ratou, Tera pea e kino mai a Hohepa ki a tatou, a ka utua mai e ia a tatou kino katoa i meatia e tatou ki a ia.

¹⁵And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

¹⁶Na ka tuku tangata ratou ki a Hohepa, a ka mea, I whakahau mai tou papa i mua ake i tona matenga, i mea mai,

¹⁶And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

¹⁷Kia penei ta koutou kupu ki a Hohepa, Tena, whakarerea te he o ou tuakana, me to ratou hara; he kino hoki ta ratou mahi ki a koe: na, tena whakarerea te he o nga pononga a te Atua o tou papa. A ka tangi a Hohepa i a ratou kupu ki a ia.

¹⁷So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

¹⁸Na ka haere ona tuakana, ka tapapa ki tona aroaro; ka mea, Tenei matou hei pononga mau.

¹⁸And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

¹⁹A ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi: he kaiwhakakapi oti ahau mo to te Atua wahi?

¹⁹And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

²⁰Ko koutou hoki, i he o koutou whakaaro ki ahau; he pai ia to te Atua whakaaro, kia meatia ai tenei inaianei, kia whakaorangia ai hoki nga tangata tokomaha.

²⁰But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

²¹Heoi kaua e wehi; maku koutou e atawhai, koutou ko a koutou tamariki. A ka whakamarie ia i a ratou, ka whakamama hoki i o ratou ngakau.

²¹Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

²²¶ Na ka noho a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou ko te whare o tona papa: a kotahi rau kotahi tekau nga tau i ora ai a Hohepa.

²²And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

²³A i kite a Hohepa i te tuatoru o nga whakatupuranga o nga tamariki a Eparaima: i whakatupuria ano hoki nga tamariki a Makiri, tama a Manahi, ki runga ki nga turi o Hohepa.

²³And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.

²⁴Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Ka mate ahau; otiia ka ata tirohia koutou e te Atua, a ka kawea atu koutou e ia i tenei whenua ki runga, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.

²⁴And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

²⁵Na ka whakaoatitia nga tama a Iharaira e Hohepa, ka mea ia, Ka tikina mai koutou, ka ata tirohia e te Atua, a me kawe atu e koutou oku iwi i konei ki runga.

²⁵And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

²⁶Na ka mate a Hohepa i te kotahi rau i te kotahi tekau o ona tau: a ka whakapakokotia e ratou, ka whakatakotoria hoki ki te kawhena i Ihipa.

²⁶So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
