Genesis 45
1 Joseph loe a taengah kangdoe kaminawk hmaa ah angsum thai ai boeh pongah, Kai khae hoi kalah bang caeh o boih ah, tiah a hang; to naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah angmah hoi angmah to taphong, to naah a taengah mi doeh om ai.
And Joseph hath not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calleth, 'Put out every man from me;' and no man hath stood with him when Joseph maketh himself known unto his brethren,
2 Tha hoi a qah pongah, Izip kaminawk hoi Faro imthung takohnawk mah doeh thaih o.
and he giveth forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh heareth.
3 Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Kai loe Joseph ni! Pa to hing vop maw? tiah a naa. Toe amyanawk loe, Anih hmaa ah poek anghmang o sut pongah, lok pathim pae o ai.
And Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?' and his brethren have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.
4 To naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Ka taengah angzo oh, tiah a naa. Nihcae loe caeh o. Anih mah, Kai loe Izip prae ah nang zawh o ih, nangcae ih amnawk Joseph ni!
And Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'Come nigh unto me, I pray you,' and they come nigh; and he saith, 'I [am] Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt;
5 To pongah kai nang zawh o pongah vaihi palungsae o sak hmah loe, palung doeh phui o hmah; hinghaih pahlong han ih ni hae ahmuen ah Sithaw mah kai ang patoeh hmaloe.
and now, be not grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that ye sold me hither, for to preserve life hath God sent me before you.
6 Vaihi prae thungah khokhahaih saning hnetto oh boeh, hmabang saning pangato thung mi mah doeh lawk sah mak ai ueloe, cang doeh aat o mak ai.
'Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet [are] five years, [in] which there is neither ploughing nor harvest;
7 Toe long ah kanghmat nangcae to hingsak moe, kalen parai pahlonghaih hoiah nangcae to loisak hanah, Sithaw mah hae ahmuen ah kai hae ang patoeh boeh.
and God sendeth me before you, to place of you a remnant in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
8 To pongah kai haeah patoehkung loe nangcae na ai, Sithaw ni; anih mah Faro to ampa ah ang sak pae, a imthung takoh boih ih angraeng ah ang suek moe, Izip prae boih ukkung ah ang sak.
and now, ye — ye have not sent me hither, but God, and He doth set me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Kam pa khaeah karangah caeh oh loe, anih khaeah, Na capa Joseph mah, Kai loe Sithaw mah Izip prae thung boih ukkung angraeng ah ang sak boeh; akra ai ah, kai khaeah angzo tathuk ah, tiah a thuih;
'Haste, and go up unto my father, then ye have said to him, Thus said Joseph thy son, God hath set me for lord to all Egypt; come down unto me, stay not,
10 kaimah hoi kazoi ahmuen, Goshen prae ah khosah oh, nangmah hoi na caanawk, na caanawk patoeng, maitawnawk, tuunawk hoi na tawnh ih hmuennawk to sin o boih ah;
and thou hast dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near unto me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, and thy flock, and thy herd, and all that thou hast,
11 kai mah kang pacah o han hmang, saning pangato thung khokha vop tih; to tih ai nahaeloe nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih, na tawnh ih hmuennawk boih anghmaa tih, tiah thui pae oh.
and I have nourished thee there — for yet [are] five years of famine — lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.
12 Khenah, nangcae hoi kam nawk Benjamin mikhnuk ah, ka pakha hoiah kang thuih o ih lok to na thaih o boeh.
'And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking unto you;
13 Izip prae ah ka lensawkhaih hoi na hnuk o ih hmuennawk boih, kam pa khaeah thui pae oh; karangah caeh oh loe, kam pa to haeah angzo o haih ah, tiah a naa.
and ye have declared to my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, and ye have hasted, and have brought down my father hither.'
14 To pacoengah amnawk Benjamin to takop moe, a qah; Benjamin mah doeh anih to takop moe, qah;
And he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and weepeth, and Benjamin hath wept on his neck;
15 to pacoengah amyanawk boih to a mok moe, a qah; to pacoengah amyanawk hoiah lok apaeh o.
and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him.
16 Joseph ih amyanawk angzoh o ti, tiah Faro imthung takoh mah thaih naah, Faro hoi a tamnanawk boih poeknawm o.
And the sound hath been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, 'Come have the brethren of Joseph;' and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,
17 Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Nam yannawk khaeah, hae tiah thui paeh loe, hae tiah sahsak ah; laa hrang hoiah hmuennawk to phaw o sak ah loe, Kanaan prae ah amlaemsak ah;
and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye the land of Canaan,
18 nam pa hoi imthung takoh kaminawk to kai khaeah angzosak ah; Izip prae thungah kahoih koek prae to kang paek han, prae kathawk to na caa o tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
and take your father, and your households, and come unto me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.
19 Nangmah doeh nihcae khaeah hae tiah sak hanah thui paeh, a caanawk hoi a zunawk to lak hanah Izip prae thung ih hrang leeng to la nasoe loe, nam pa to angzo o haih nasoe.
'Yea, thou — thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought your father, and come;
20 Hmuennawk to paawt o hmah, Izip prae thung boih ih kahoih koek hmuen loe nihcae hanah om tih, tiah a naa.
and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.'
21 To pongah Israel caanawk mah to tiah a sak o; Faro mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Joseph mah hrang leengnawk to a paek, to pacoengah loklam ah caak han ih hmuen doeh a paek.
And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision for the way;
22 Nihcae boih han khukbuen kangtha to a paek, toe Benjamin loe phoisa cumvai thumto hoi khukbuen zung pangato a paek.
to all of them hath he given — to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred silverlings, and five changes of garments;
23 Ampa hanah Izip prae thung ih kahoih koek hmuennawk to laa hrang hato pongah a phawsak, laa hrang amno hato pongah cang hoi takaw to phawsak pacoengah, ampa mah loklam ah caak han ih hmuennawk to a pat pae.
and to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and bread, even food for his father for the way.
24 To pacoengah amyanawk to patoeh, nihcae doeh amsak o; loklam ah maeto hoi maeto angzoeh o hmah, tiah a naa.
And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, 'Be not angry in the way.'
25 Nihcae loe Izip prae thung hoiah angthawk o tahang moe, ampa Jakob ohhaih Kanaan prae ah caeh o.
And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,
26 Anih khaeah, Joseph loe hing vop! Izip prae ukkung ah oh, tiah a naa o. To naah Jakob loe palungboeng sut; nihcae to tang ai.
and they declare to him, saying, 'Joseph [is] yet alive,' and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them.
27 Toe Joseph mah thuih ih loknawk boih a thuih pae o moe, anih phawh hanah Joseph mah pat pae ih hrang leeng to a hnuk naah ni, ampa Jakob loe poekhaih tha oh let vop.
And they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob their father;
28 To naah Israel mah, Khawt boeh! Ka capa Joseph loe hing vop, ka caeh moe, ka dueh ai naah anih to ka hnuk han vop, tiah thuih.
and Israel saith, 'Enough! Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'
