These are the generations of Iaakob, when Ioseph was seuenteene yeere olde: he kept sheepe with his brethren, and the childe was with the sonnes of Bilhah, and with the sonnes of Zilpah, his fathers wiues. And Ioseph brought vnto their father their euill saying.

Nowe Israel loued Ioseph more then all his sonnes, because he begate him in his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 Tedae a maya rhoek boeih lakah a napa loh anih a lungnah te a maya rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah amah a hmuhuet uh. Te dongah anih rhoepnah neh voek ham khaw coeng uh pawh.
So when his brethren sawe that their father loued him more then all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him.

For he saide vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed.
7 Lohma li kah cangpa te mamih loh n'tum uh hatah kai kah cangpa te thoo tih pai. Te vaengah nangmih kah cangpa loh a vael uh tih kai kah cangpa taengah bakop uh,” a ti nah
Beholde nowe, wee were binding sheues in the middes of the field: and loe, my shefe arose and also stoode vpright, and behold, your sheues compassed rounde about, and did reuerence to my shefe.
8 Te dongah anih te a maya rhoek loh, “Kaimih soah manghai la na manghai vetih kaimih soah na boei khaw na boei tang venim?,” a ti nauh. Anih a hmuhuet uh te a mang, a olka neh koep a khoep.
Then his brethren saide to him, What, shalt thou reigne ouer vs, and rule vs? or shalt thou haue altogether dominion ouer vs? And they hated him so much the more, for his dreames, and for his wordes.
9 Te phoeiah mang a tloe koep a man tih a maya rhoek taengah, “Mang koep ka man hatah khomik neh hla neh aisi hlai at loh kai taengah tarha bakop uh,” a ti nah tih a doek.

Then he tolde it vnto his father and to his brethren, and his father rebuked him, and saide vnto him, What is this dreame, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come in deede and fall on the ground before thee?
11 Te dongah anih te a maya rhoek thatlai uh. Tedae a napa long tah olka te a kuem.
And his brethren enuied him, but his father noted the saying.

Then his brethren went to keepe their fathers sheepe in Shechem.

And the man said, they are departed hece: for I heard them say, Let vs goe vnto Dothan. Then went Ioseph after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
