Since this is under "ancient Egypt" I guess you mean goodbye in ancient Egyptian.

We know how the phrase was written, but not how it was said since vowels are not recorded in hieroglyphs. The phrase used is translated "farewell, farewell" and was written snbt sp 2, which literally means "be healthy repeated twice".

The English term farewell is an exact translation, since it comes from Middle English fare thu well, meaning may you be healthy.
