Genesis 43
1 But the famine prevailed in the land.
Ram thung takang hoe a pataw poung.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.
Izip hoi cakang a thokhai awh e a baw toteh, a na pa ni, bout cet awh nateh mamouh hanelah cakang youn touh bang bout ran awh telah ati.
3 And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Hatei, Judah ni ahni koe hote tami ni, na nawngha, nangmouh koe tho van hoehpawiteh, kai minhmai na hmawt awh mahoeh toe telah kamcengcalah kâhruetcuet na poe awh toe.
4 If, then, thou send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy thee food;
Nawnghaca hah kaimouh koe na cetsak pawiteh, cakang teh na ran pouh awh han.
5 but if thou send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.
Hatei na tha hoehpawiteh, ka cet awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni kaimouh koe nangmouh koe na nawnghaca tho van hoehpawiteh, ka minhmai na hmawt mahoeh na ti pouh awh telah ati.
6 And Israel said, Why did ye harm me, inasmuch as ye told the man that ye had a brother?
Isarel ni, bangkongmaw nawngha alouk tawnnae kong patetnaw hah kuekluek na dei awh teh, kai hanelah hnokahawi hoeh poung na sak awh telah ati.
7 And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have ye a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?
Hatei, ahni ni hote tami ni na pa a hring rah maw, hmaunawngha alouke na tawn awh maw telah kaimae kong hoi imthungkhu kong na pacei awh dawk doeh. Hottelah lawk na pacei e patetlah ka pathung awh e doeh. Na nawnghaca thokhai awh ati hane hah apinimaw sut a panue thai han vaw telah ati awh.
8 And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and thou, and our store.
Judah ni a na pa Isarel koevah, kaimouh hoi nang, nawnghaca hoi dout laipalah hring thai awh nahanlah, nawnghaca teh kaimouh koe kâbang sak nateh, ka cei awh han toe.
9 And I engage for him; at my hand do thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty toward thee for ever.
Ahni kong dawk kai ni kamngai vaiteh kai koe aphu teh na la han, ahni hah nang koe thokhai laipalah na hmalah kangdout sak hoehpawiteh, yonpennae pou ka phu han toe.
10 For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kânawngkâai awh hanh lei sei, apâhni e patenghai yo tho hane boum hei telah ati.
11 And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.
A na pa Isarel ni ahni koe, hattelah pawiteh, hettelah sak awh. Hete ram dawk e hnokahawinaw thingtapi, khoitui, hmuitui, murah, câbuk paw a rakawk katha e, hoi almond pawnaw youn touh phawt awh.
12 And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest peradventure it is a mistake.
Nangmae cawngko dawk tangka a pâban e hah bout sin awh, a payon awh e paka han doeh.
13 And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.
Hahoi na nawnghaca hai hrawi awh nateh ahni koe thaw awh nateh bout cet awh leih.
14 And my God give you favour in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.
Hote tami ni Benjamin na tha pouh nahanelah, Athakasaipounge Cathut ni na pahren awh naseh. Ka canaw teh ka sung pawiteh sung yawkaw toung vai khe, telah ati.
15 And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Hottelah ahnimouh ni poehno hoi Benjamin hah a ceikhai awh teh, tangka hai let hni hoi a kâken awh. Hahoi a thaw awh teh Izip ram lah a cei awh teh Joseph hmalah bout a kangdue awh.
16 And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and slay beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.
Joseph ni ahnimouh koe kaawm e Benjamin a hmu tahma vah, imkaringkung hah a kaw teh ahnimanaw hah imthung kâenkhai nateh saring thet nateh coungkacoe rakueng haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh kanîthun bu kai koe a ca awh han telah ati.
17 And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.
Joseph ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh ni a tawk awh teh, ahni ni ahnimanaw hah imthung a kâenkhai awh.
18 And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.
Joseph ni imthung kâenkhaie lah ao dawkvah, ahnimouh teh a lungpuen awh teh, ahnimouh ni, ahmaloe e kaimae cawngko dawk tangka a pâban dawkvah na kâenkhai e han doeh, maimouh hoi lanaw hoi san lah na man thai nahanelah toe hanlah a kâcai e han doeh, ati awh.
19 And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,
Joseph e imkaringkung koe vah a hnai awh teh takhang koe a pato awh.
20 saying, We pray [thee], Sir; we came down at first to buy food.
Oe, Bawipa, ahmaloe ka tho awh navah, cakang ran hanelah dueng doeh ka tho awh.
21 And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, [there was] also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.
Hahoi hettelah ao, roenae rim koe ka pha awh navah, cawngko ka paawng awh boteh kamamae tangka lengkaleng ka kuepcalah ao. Hatdawkvah bout ka thokhai awh.
22 And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.
Cakang ran nahane tangka alouke hai ka sin awh. Kaimae tangka heh apinimaw cawngko dawk a hruek tie ka panuek awh hoeh, telah ati.
23 And he said to them, [God deal] mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them.
Hatei ahni ni nangmouh koe roumnae awm seh, taket hanh awh. Nangmae cawngko dawk nangmae Cathut hoi na pa e Cathut ni râw na poe awh e doeh, nangmae tangka hah ka hmu doeh, telah ati. Hahoi Simeon hah ahnimouh koe a thokhai awh.
24 And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.
Hottelah ahni ni ahnimouh hah Joseph imthung a kâenkhai teh tui a poe teh, a khok a kâpasu awh teh, lanaw hah rawca a poe awh.
25 And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.
Hahoi aphu awh e poehno hah Joseph bu a ca hanelah a tho hoehnahlan coungkacoe ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawvah, bu ca han tie hah a panue awh.
26 And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground.
Joseph takhang koe a pha toteh a kut dawk kaawm e poehnonaw hah ahni koe a kâenkhai awh teh a hmalah talai khet laihoi a tabut awh.
27 And he asked them, How are ye? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom ye spoke, well? Does he yet live?
Ahni ni kamthang a pacei, na dei awh e na pa matawng teh a hring rah maw. A tak a dam maw telah ati.
28 And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God; —and they bowed, and did him reverence.
Ahnimouh ni apa na san teh a hring doeh rah, a tak hai a dam rah, atipouh awh. Hahoi a mahmawk a lû a saling awh teh a tabut awh.
29 And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom ye spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on thee, my son.
Ahni ni a khet teh, a nawngha Benjamin a manu e capa hah a hmu, ahni heh na nawnghaca akong na dei awh e hah maw, telah ati. Hahoi ahni ni ka capa, Cathut ni na pahren naseh, telah ati.
30 And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.
Joseph ni a nawngha a hmu toteh, a lungmathoe teh karangpounglah ka nahane hmuen a tawng. Imrakhan thung a kâen teh hawvah a ka.
31 And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
A minhmai a pâhla teh bout a tâco teh puenghoi a kâsum. Rawca rakueng awh telah ati.
32 And they set on [bread] for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Hottelah ahni hanlah aloukcalah, ahnimouh hanlah aloukcalah, a coun e Izipnaw hanlah aloukcalah, bangkongtetpawiteh, Izipnaw ni Hebrunaw hoi bu rei cat khai boihoeh, hothateh Izipnaw hanlah panuettho e lah ao.
33 And they sat before him, the first-born according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.
Hottelah capa kacue teh camin lah ao e hoi kanaw teh cahnoung lah ao e patetlah Joseph hmalah a tahung awh teh, kângai lah a ru awh.
34 And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of [the others]. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.
Joseph ni ahnimouh ham hah amamouh koe a poe sak teh, Benjamin e ham teh ahnimae ham hlak let panga touh hoi apap. Hottelah a nei awh teh, ahni koe hroung a nawm awh.
