Suencuek 45
1 Joseph long khaw amah taengkah aka pai boeih taengah thiim uh ham a coeng voelpawt vaengah, “Hlang boeih loh kai taeng lamkah nong uh,” tila pang. Te dongah a taengkah hlang tloe aka pai te a om pawt vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek taengah amah kawng te a phoe.
Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
2 Te vaengah rhahnah neh a ol a huel. Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh a yaak uh tih Pharaoh im long khaw a yaak.
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
3 Te vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek la, “Kai he Joseph ni. A pa hing pueng a?,” a ti nah. Tedae anih hmuh ah a manuca rhoek te let uh tih doo uh thai pawh.
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
4 Te vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek la, “Kai taengla bet ha thoeih uh lah,” a ti nah tih a thoeih uh hatah, “Kai Joseph he na manuca ni. Kai he Egypt la nan yoih uh.
And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Tedae hinglu hlawtnah ham Pathen loh nangmih hmai ah kai n'tueih coeng dongah kai nan yoih uh te namamih kah mik dongah na ngaihlih sak uh boel lamtah sai boeh.
Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
6 Tahae lamkah khokha kum loh kho khui ah om vetih kum nga ngawn tah lotawn cangah mueh la om pueng ni.
For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
7 Tedae diklai ah a meet la nangmih te n'hoep phoeiah loeihnah tanglue neh nangmih te hing sak ham ni nangmih hmai ah Pathen loh kai n'tueih.
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
8 Te dongah nangmih loh hela kai nan tueih uh moenih. Tedae Pathen loh kai he Pharaoh napa lam khaw, amah im pum kah boei lam khaw, Egypt kho tom aka taemrhai ham khaw, n'khueh.
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt.
9 A pa taengah a loe la cet uh lamtah, 'Na capa Joseph te Pathen loh Egypt pum kah boei la a khueh coeng,'. Uelh mueh la kai taengah na suntla uh tih,
Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
10 kamah neh a yoei la om ham Goshen kho ah a pa namah khaw, na ca rhoek khaw, na ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek patoeng khaw, na boiva khaw, na saelhung neh na taengkah aka om boeih te khaw kho na sak uh bitni.
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
11 Khokha he kum nga a om pueng dongah nangmih te kan cangbam bitni. Namah khaw, na im khaw na taengkah aka om boeih khaw tal ve,’ a ti,’ ti nah.
And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
12 Tahae ah kamah ka neh nangmih taengah ka thui he nangmih mik neh ka mana Benjamin mik loh rhep a hmuh he.
Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
13 Egypt ah kai, thangpomnah cungkuem neh nan hmuh uh boeih te a pa taengah puen uh lamtah a pa te pahoi tlek han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
14 Te phoeiah a mana Benjamin te a rhawn ah a kop tih rhap. Benjamin long khaw a rhawn ah a kop tih rhap van.
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
15 A manuca rhoek te rhip a mok tih a rhah thil. Te phoei daengah a manuca rhoek loh anih taengah cal uh.
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 Tedae Joseph kah a manuca rhoek halo uh a ti te Pharaoh im loh olthang a yaak vaengah Pharaoh mik ah khaw, a sal rhoek mik ah khaw cop.
And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
17 Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph taengah, “He tlam he saii mai. Na manuca rhoek la, 'Na rhamsa neh sawn uh lamtah Kanaan kho la bal uh ngawn.
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
18 Na pa te khaw, na imkhui khaw, lo uh lamtah kai taengla han khuen uh. Nangmih te Egypt khohmuen kah a thennah kam paek vetih lai men te na caak uh bitni.
And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.
19 Te phoeiah namah loh uen lamtah saii. Na ca rhoek ham khaw, na yuu rhoek ham khaw, na pa te khaw lo uh. Te phoeiah na bal uh vaengkah ham leng te Egypt kho lamloh namah neh puei uh.
Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
20 Egypt khohmuen kah a thennah boeih he nangmih ham coeng dongah na hnopai khaw na mik dongah rhen boeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
21 Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih Pharaoh kah olpaek vanbangla amih te Joseph loh leng a paek. Te phoeiah amih te longpueng ham lampu khaw a paek.
And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
22 Amih ham thovaelnah himbai te khat khat rhip a paek tih Benjamin te tah tangka ya thum neh himbai thovaelnah ham yung nga a paek.
He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
23 A napa ham khaw Egypt kah a thennah aka phuei laak pumrha, cang, caak neh a napa ham longpueng kah lampu aka phuei laaknu pumrha te a pat pah.
Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 Tedae a manuca rhoek te a tueih tih a hlah uh vaengah amih te, “Longpueng ah tlai uh boeh ne,” a ti nah.
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
25 Te phoeiah Egypt lamkah Kanaan kho la cet uh tih a napa Jakob te a paan uh.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
26 Te phoeiah Jakob taengah, “Joseph hing pueng tih anih loh Egypt kho boeih a taem a rhai,” tila a puen pauh. Tedae a lungbuei a lungmit coeng tih amih te tangnah pawh.
And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.
27 Tedae Joseph loh amih taengah a thui olka boeih te Jakob taengah a thui pa uh tih amah aka phuei ham Joseph kah a pat leng te a hmuh vaengah a napa Jakob kah a mueihla koep hing.
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,
28 Te daengah Israel loh, “Rhoek saeh, ka ca Joseph a hing pueng te ka duek hlanah ka cet vetih a muei ka hmu dae ni,” a ti.
And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
