Genesis 42
1 And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Jakop ni Izip ram vah cakang ao tie a panue teh, a capanaw koevah bangkongmaw sut na kâkhet awh.
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down thither and buy [grain] for us from thence, in order that we may live, and not die.
Izip ram vah cakang ao tie ka panue dout laipalah hring awh nahanlah hawvah cet awh nateh mamouh hanlah ran awh haw, telah ati.
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.
Hottelah Joseph hmaunaw hra touh teh cakang ran hanlah Izip ram a cei awh.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.
Hatei, Joseph e a nawngha Benjamin teh a hmaunaw koe Jakop ni cetsak van hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae kâhmo langvaih ati.
5 So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Isarel canaw teh cakang ran hanelah a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Kanaan ram hai takang teh a tho van.
6 And Joseph, he was the governor over the land — he it was that sold [the corn] to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.
Joseph teh ram thung bawi a tawk teh, hote ram pueng koe cakang kayawtkung lah ao. Hottelah Joseph e hmaunaw a tho awh teh, a hmalah talai khet laihoi a tabo awh.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.
Joseph ni a hmaunaw hah a hmu teh a panue. Hatei, ka panuek hoeh e patetlah a kâsak teh, ahnimouh koe lawkkahram lahoi nâhoi maw na tho awh atipouh. Ahnimouh ni cakang ran hanelah Kanaan ram hoi ka tho awh atipouh.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they did not know him.
Joseph ni a hmaunaw hah a panue, hatei ahnimouh ni ahni teh panuek awh hoeh.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.
Joseph ni ahnimouh kong dawk mang a sak e hah a panue teh ahnimouh koe katuetnaw doeh, khoram caicinae khet hanelah kathonaw doeh atipouh.
10 And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.
Ahnimouh ni nahoeh bo ka bawipa, na sannaw hah cakang ran hanelah ka tho awh e doeh, ati awh.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest: thy servants are not spies.
Tami buet touh e capanaw doeh, tami kahawi doeh. Na sannaw heh katuetnaw nahoeh, atipouh.
12 And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.
Hatei ahni ni ahnimouh koe na yuem awh hoeh, khoram caicinae khet hanelah na kathonaw doeh atipouh.
13 And they said, Thy servants were twelve brethren, sons of one man, in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Ahnimouh ni, na sannaw hah hmaunawngha hlaikahni touh ka pha awh. Kanaan ram kaawm tami buet touh e capanaw doeh. Kanawpoung e teh apa koe ao. Buet touh e teh awm hoeh toe, ati awh.
14 And Joseph said to them, That is it that I have spoken to you, saying, Ye are spies.
Hatei Joseph ni ahnimouh koe katuetnaw doeh ka tie hah a tang doeh.
15 By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither!
Hettelah tanouk e lah na o awh han. Kanawpoung e hah hi tho hoehpawiteh Faro hringnae noe lahoi hete hmuen koehoi na tâcawt awh mahoeh.
16 Send one of you, that he may fetch your brother, but ye shall be imprisoned, and your words shall be put to the proof, whether the truth is in you; and if not, as Pharaoh lives, ye are spies.
Nangmouh dawk lawkkatang ao maw awm hoeh maw, nangmae lawk tanouknae lah nangmouh thung dawk e buet touh patoun awh nateh, na nawngha teh thokhai naseh. Nangmouh teh thongim thung na o awh han rah, hoehpawiteh Faro hringnae noe lahoi katuetnaw katang doeh ka ti han, telah ati.
17 And he put them in custody three days.
Hottelah hnin thum touh abuemlah thongim a paung.
18 And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: I fear God.
Apâthum hnin vah Joseph ni ahnimouh koe hettelah sak awh na hring awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut hah ka taki,
19 If ye are honest, let one of your brethren remain bound in the house of your prison, but go ye, carry grain for the hunger of your households;
tamikalan lah na awm awh pawiteh nangmouh thung dawk buet touh thongim bawt seh. Alouknaw teh ban awh nateh, takang ka tho e ni imthungnaw hanelah cakang hah phawt awh.
20 and bring your youngest brother to me, in order that your words be verified, and that ye may not die. And they did so.
Hahoi kanawpoung e hah kai koe thokhai awh. Hat pawiteh, na lawk kamceng vaiteh na dout awh mahoeh, atipouh teh hottelah a sak awh.
21 Then they said one to another, We are indeed guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he besought us, and we did not hearken; therefore this distress is come upon us.
Ahnimouh ni hmaunawngha koe sak awh e hah payon poung awh toe, na pahren awh telah kâhei awh lahun nah a lungpuen e ka hmu awh eiteh, ka tarawi ngai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah hete temdengnae ni na thosin e doeh, telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâdei awh.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the lad? But ye did not hearken; and now behold, his blood also is required.
Reuben ni ahnimouh koe camo taranlahoi yonnae sak hanh awh, telah nangmouh koe ka dei nahoehmaw. Na thai ngai awh yawmaw. Hatdawkvah khenhaw! a thipaling phu teh atu maimouh koe hei e lah ao toe, telah atipouh.
23 And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
Hatei Joseph ni lawk tâhlat hno lahoi lawk a dei dawkvah, kho a khan awh e hah Joseph ni a thai panuek doeh tie hah ahnimouh ni panuek awh hoeh.
24 And he turned away from them, and wept. And he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
Hahoi ahnimouh koehoi alouklah a cei teh a ka. Ahnimouh koe bout a tho teh bout a pato, ahnimouh koehoi Simeon hah a hmu awhnae koe a katek.
25 And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they to them.
Joseph ni ahnimouh cawngko dawk cakang cui hane hoi ahnimae tangka hai cawngko dawk pâseng hanelah kâ a poe. Hateh hottelah a sak awh.
26 And they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.
Ahnimouh ni cakang la dawk aphu sak awh teh a tâco awh.
27 And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
Ahnimouh thung dawk tami buet touh ni a roe awhnae koe lanaw rawca poe hanelah cawngko a paawng teh tangka hah a hmu, cawngko som dawkvah ao.
28 And he said to his brethren, My money is returned [to me], and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this [that] God has done to us?
Hottelah a hmaunawnghanaw koevah, kaie tangka bout a ta awh, khenhaw! hei, kaie cawngko dawk ao hei, telah ati. A lungphuen awh teh Cathut ni hettelah na sak aw hei. Bang ngainae han na vaimoe telah ati awh teh, pâyaw laihoi buet touh hoi buet touh a kâkhet awh.
29 And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
Kanaan ram a na pa Jakop koevah a pha awh, a kâhmo awh e pueng hah a dei pouh awh.
30 The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.
Hot ram dawk e bawi lah kaawm e ni ka matheng poung lah na pato awh teh, ram katuetnaw lah na o awh.
31 And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:
Hatei, kaimouh ni ahni koe, tamikalannaw doeh. Katuetkung lah khoeroe kaawm awh hoeh.
32 we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Hmaunawngha hlaikahni touh ka o awh teh, apa e capa lah ka o awh. Buet touh teh awm hoeh toe. Kanawpoung e teh atu Kanaan ram vah apa koevah ao, telah ka ti pouh awh.
33 And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [for] the hunger of your households, and go,
Hahoi hote ram dawk e bawi ni hettelahoi tamikalan lah na onae ka panue han. Na hmaunawngha buet touh cettakhai awh nateh, na imthungnaw hanelah cakang hah phawt nateh cet awh.
34 and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.
Kanawpoung e hateh, kai koe thokhai awh, hat pawiteh katuetkung lah awm laipalah tamikalan doeh tie ka panue han. Hate ram dawk hno na yo awh han na ti pou, telah ati awh.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man had his bundle of money in his sack; and they saw their bundles of money, they and their father, and were afraid.
Hahoi, cawngkonaw hah a rabu awh lahun navah, pouk laipalah tangka tangoung hah cawngko dawk ao teh, ahnimouh hoi a na pa ni tangka tangoung hah a hmu awh toteh a lungpuen awh.
36 And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin! All these things are against me.
A na pa Jakop ni nangmouh ni ka canaw koung na kahma sak awh toe. Joseph awm hoeh toe, Simeon hai awm hoeh toe. Benjamin totouh ceikhai han na kâcai awh. Hete hnonaw pueng ni na ratet toe, telah ati.
37 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons if I bring him not back to thee: give him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Reuben ni a na pa koevah, nang koe ka thokhai hoehpawiteh, ka capa roi heh thet yawkaw. Ahni heh ka kut dawk na poe nateh, nang koe bout ka thokhai han, telah ati.
38 But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; and if mischief should befall him by the way in which ye go, then would ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Hatei ahni ni, ka capa heh nangmouh koe cet van mahoeh, a hmau a due toe, ahni dueng doeh toe. Na ceinae lam dawk runae na kâhmo pawiteh, ka sampo heh lungmathoenae phuen dawk na loum sak awh han toe, telah ati. (Sheol h7585)
