Kamtawngnae 45
1 Joseph teh a teng kaawm e pueng hmalah kâsum thai hoeh toung dawkvah, tami pueng kai koehoi koung tâcawt awh, telah a hram. Hottelah Joseph ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe a kâpanuesak nah yunglam apihai ahni teng kangdout awh hoeh.
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 Kacaipounglah a ka teh, Izipnaw ni a thai awh, Faro imthungkhu ni hai a thai awh.
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
3 Joseph ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe kai teh Joseph doeh, apa atu sittouh a hring rah maw, telah ati. Hatei pato thai laipalah a hmaunaw roumkalue awh teh a hmalah sut a kangdue awh.
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 Joseph ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe, pahren lahoi na hnai awh haw, telah ati. Hateh a hnai awh. Ahni ni na hmaunawngha Joseph, Izip ram vah na yo awh e hah ma.
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 Hatei, hivah cei hanelah na yo awh dawkvah, na lungmathout hanh awh, namamouh hoi namamouh hai kâhmuhma hanh awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, hringnae rungngang hanelah Cathut ni nangmouh hmalah na patoun e doeh.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kum hni touh thung hete ram dawk takang a tho. Kum panga touh a ngai rah. Hat nah thung pueng teh laikawk kanawk awm mahoeh. Canga e hai awm mahoeh.
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 Hottelah talai van catoun ka tawn hanelah karingkung hoi rungngangnae kalen hoi na hringsakthai awh nahanlah, Cathut ni ahmaloe hoi nangmouh hmalah na patoun toe.
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
8 Hottelah hie hmuen koe na kacetsakkung hah nangmouh laipalah Cathut doeh. Ahni ni Faro hanelah na pa lah, imthungkhu kahrawikung, hoi Izip ram pueng kaukkung lah na coung sak.
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 Karanglah apa koe cet awh nateh, ahni koe na capa Joseph ni hettelah a dei, Cathut ni Izip ram pueng dawk bawi lah na sak, kai koe tho awh, uet awh hanh leih.
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 Goshen ram vah na o han. Nang nama hoi, na capanaw hoi na mincanaw hoi, na tuhunaw, na maitohu hoi na tawn e puenghoi kai koe roeroe vah na o han.
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 Hawvah kai ni na kawk han. Bangkongtetpawiteh hawvah takang kum panga touh ao han rah. Hatdawkvah, na roedeng payon vaih nang hoi na imthung hoi na tawn e pueng hoi telah na ti pouh awh han.
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 Hahoi khenhaw! nangmae mit roeroe hoi ka nawngha Benjamin e mit roeroe ni kaie ka pahni ni a dei lahun e hah na hmu awh.
Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
13 Izip ram e ka bawilennae pueng hoi na hmu awh e hno pueng hah apa koe na dei awh vaiteh, apa teh karang poung lah na thokhai awh han, telah ati.
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 Hahoi a lungtabue hoi Benjamin lungtabue rekkâbet lah a tapam teh a ka. Benjamin ni hai a tapam teh a ka.
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 hmaunawngha pueng a paco hnukkhu, a hmaunawnghanaw ni lawk a dei awh.
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 Joseph e hmaunawnghanaw a tho awh tie kamthang teh Faro im vah a thai awh teh, hote kamthang ni Faro hoi a sannaw a lunghawi sak.
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 Faro ni Joseph koe, na hmaunawnghanaw koe, hettelah dei pouh, na saringnaw teh cakang phu sak hoi tâcawt awh nateh, Kanaan ram vah cet awh.
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 Hahoi na pa hoi a imthung hah kaimouh koe thokhai awh. Izip ram e hnokahawi na poe awh vaiteh, hete ram dawk kaawm e hnokahawipoung hah na ca awh han telah dei pouh awh.
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 Kâ na poe, hettelah dei pouh. Na canaw hoi na canunaw hane hoi na yunaw hanelah Izip ram hoi lengnaw sin awh nateh, na pa hah thokhai awh.
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 Na hnopai kong dawk lungpuen hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram e hnokahawi pueng teh nangmae doeh, telah ati.
And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
21 Hahoi teh, Isarel canaw ni hottelah a sak awh. Joseph ni Faro kâpoe e patetlah leng hah ahnimouh koe a poe. Lam vah a ca awh hane hai a poe.
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 Ahnimouh abuemlah koe khohna kâthung hanelah a poe. Benjamin koe teh tangka cumthum touh hoi khohna kâthung hane panga touh a poe.
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 Hahoi a na pa koevah, la hra touh, Izip ram hnokahawi kapawtkung hoi lamanu hra touh, lam vah a na pa hane cakang hoi vaiyei hoi canei han kaphawtkung lah a patoun.
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 Hottelah a hmaunawnghanaw hah a patoun teh a ceisak. Ahni ni lam vah na kâyue awh hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet awh telah ati.
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
25 Izip hoi a tâco awh teh a na pa Jakop koe a pha awh.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
26 Hatei, Joseph a hring rah Izip ram pueng ukkung lah ao telah a dei pouh awh. Jakop a lungmit teh, ahnimouh ni dei e tang thai hoeh.
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 Hatei, ahni koe Joseph ni lawk dei e pueng hah a dei pouh awh. Hahoi a kâcui hane leng Joseph ni a patawn e hah a hmu toteh, a na pa Jakop e lungthin bout a kâhlaw.
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 Isarel ni a khout toe, ka capa Joseph teh a hring doeh rah, ka cei vaiteh, ka due hoehnahlan ka hmu han telah ati.
And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
