Genesis 43
1 And the famine was grievous in the land.
Ram thung takang hoe a pataw poung.
2 And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from 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 Judah spoke to him, saying, The man did positively testify to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your 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 thou wilt 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 do not send [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, Ye shall not see my face, unless your 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 deal [so] ill with me [as] to tell the man whether ye had yet 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 asked very closely after us, and after our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? And we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we at all know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
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 Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.
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 I will be surety for him: of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and set him before thy face, then shall I 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 had we not lingered, we should now certainly have returned already twice.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kânawngkâai awh hanh lei sei, apâhni e patenghai yo tho hane boum hei telah ati.
11 And their father Israel said to them, If it is then so, do this: take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a gift: a little balsam and a little honey, tragacanth and ladanum, pistacia-nuts and almonds.
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 other money in your hand, and the money that was returned to you in the mouth of your sacks, carry back in your hand: perhaps it is an oversight.
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 again to the man.
Hahoi na nawnghaca hai hrawi awh nateh ahni koe thaw awh nateh bout cet awh leih.
14 And the Almighty God give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin! And I, if I be bereaved of children, 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 took that gift, and took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and came 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 Benjamin with them, and said to the [man] who was over his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter cattle, and make ready; for the men shall eat 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 had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
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 were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and said, Because of the money that was returned to us in our sacks at the beginning are we brought in, that he may turn against us, and fall upon us and take us for bondmen, 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 they came up to the man that was over Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
Joseph e imkaringkung koe vah a hnai awh teh takhang koe a pato awh.
20 and said, Ah! my lord, we came indeed down at the 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 the inn, that we opened our sacks, and behold, [every] man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money according to its weight; and we have brought it again in our hand.
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 other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We do not know who put our money in 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, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; your money came to me. And he brought Simeon 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 the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses food.
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 made ready the gift for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread 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 When Joseph came home, they brought him the gift that was in their hand, into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
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 of their welfare, and said, Is your father well — the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
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 they bowed, and made obeisance.
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 he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to 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 made haste, for his bowels burned for his brother; and he sought [a place] to weep, and he went into the 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 controlled 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 for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto 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 firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another.
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 he had portions carried to them from before him. And Benjamin's portion was five times greater than the portions of them all. And they drank, and made merry 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.
