Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
Jakop teh a na pa imyin lah a onae Kanaan ram dawk kho a sak.
2 And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father’s wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
Hethateh Jakop catoun e lairui doeh. Joseph teh a kum 17 touh a pha nah a hmaunaw hoi saringnaw a khoum awh. Ahni teh a camo rah dawkvah, a na pa e yu Bilhah hoi Zilpah capanaw koevah ao, hahoi Joseph ni hnokahawi hoeh a sak awh e kamthang kathout hah a na pa koe ouk a dei pouh.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.
Isarel ni Joseph teh a matawng nah a khe e lah ao dawkvah, a canaw pueng hlak a lungpataw hnawn, angkidung a phun aloukcalah a khui pouh teh a poe.
4 And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
A na pa ni a hmaunaw hlak a lungpataw hnawn tie hah a panue awh. Hottelah hoi ahni teh, hmawt ngai awh hoeh. Lawk kahawi hoi hai pato ngai awh hoeh.
5 Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.
Joseph ni mang a sak teh a hmaunaw koe a dei pouh dawkvah, hoe hmawt ngai awh hoeh.
6 And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.
Ahni ni ahnimanaw koe pahren lahoi mang ka sak e hah thai awh haw.
7 I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before my sheaf.
Law vah cabong hah a thaw awh teh kaie cabong hai a thaw teh a kangdue. Hahoi thai awh haw, nangmae cabongnaw ni a kalup awh teh, kaie cabong hah a bawk awh, telah ati.
8 His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
A hmaunaw ni ahni koevah, nang ni kaimouh na uk katang han na maw. Nang heh kaimae lathueng vah kâ na tawn han na maw, telah atipouh awh. Hottelah hoi a mang hoi a dei e lawk kecu dawkvah, hoe a hmuhma awh.
9 He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
Hahoi mang alouke e bout a sak teh, a hmaunaw koevah bout a dei pouh. Thai awh haw, mang bout ka tawn. Kanî hoi thapa hoi âsinaw 12 touh ka hmalah be a tabut awh telah ati.
10 And when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
A na pa hoi a hmaunaw koe a dei pouh navah, a na pa ni a yue teh, mang na sak e teh bangpatete mang han na maw. Kai hoi na manu hoi na hmaunaw ni na hmalah ka tabut han na maw telah ati.
11 His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
A hmaunaw ni ahni teh a ut awh. Hateiteh, a na pa ni hno kaawm e hah a lung dawk a pâkuem.
12 And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
A hmaunaw teh Shekhem vah a na pa e saring khoum hanelah a cei awh.
13 Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
Isarel ni Joseph koevah na hmaunaw ni Shekhem doeh saring a khoum awh khe, tho haw, ahnimouh koe na patoun han telah ati. Ahni ni na patoun yawkaw telah ati.
14 I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
A na pa ni ahnimouh koe cet nateh na hmaunaw hah a dam awh maw, saringnaw a dam maw, panue hanelah kamthaw haw, haw e kamthang kai koe bout na dei pouh han telah ati. Hottelah hoi Hebron tanghling koehoi a patoun teh Shekhem vah a pha.
15 And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
Law dawk voutsout a kâhlai e hah tami buet touh ni a hmu teh ahni ni, bangmaw na tawng telah a pacei.
16 But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the flocks.
Ahni ni, ka hmaunaw doeh ka tawng pahren lahoi saringhu a khoumnae na dei pouh haw telah ati.
17 And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.
Ahni ni hote hmuen koehoi yo a cei awh toe. Dothan vah cet sei ati awh e hah ka thai, telah ati. Hottelah hoi Joseph ni a hmaunaw teh a pâlei teh Dothan vah a hmaunaw a hmu.
18 And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.
Ahnimouh ni ahlapoungnae koehoi a hmu awh teh, ahni koe a pha hoehnahlan vah, ahni thei nahane lah a kâdei awh toe.
19 And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
Thai awh haw, mang ka sak e tami a tho toe.
20 Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him:
Tho awh thei awh vaiteh, moimatheng ni a kei telah tet pouh awh sei. Hahoi a mangnaw teh bangne tie hah panue awh han telah buet touh hoi buet touh lengkaleng a kâti awh.
21 And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
Hateiteh, Reuben ni a thai teh ahnimae kut dawk hoi a rungngang teh, thet lah thet awh hanh sei, telah ati.
22 Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
Hateiteh, Reuben ni a kut thung hoi a rungngang teh a na pa koe a bankhai thai nahan, thet awh hanh, kahrawng e tangkom thung pabawt awh nateh na kut teh tha awh hanh telah ati.
23 And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
Joseph ni a hmaunaw koe a pha toteh, angkidung em kaawm e hah a rading pouh awh.
24 And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.
A ceikhai awh teh tangkom dawk a pabo awh. Tangkom dawk tui awm hoeh.
25 And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.
Hottelah rawca ca hanelah, a tahung awh. Hahoi a radoung awh teh, Ishmael kahlawng ka cet e Gilead ram lahoi amamae kalauk hoi hmuitui hoi, thing tapi, murah phu e hoi Izip ram lah cei hanelah kamthawnaw hah a tho awh.
26 And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
Judah ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe maimae nawngha thei awh teh, a thipalawng e paphat awh pawiteh, bangmaw cungkeinae kaawm han.
27 It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.
Tho awh, a lathueng kut tha laipalah Ishmaelnaw koe yawt awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh nawngha maimae misa hoi kâkuen e doeh, telah ati teh, a hmaunawnghanaw ni a hnâ rip a bo khai awh.
28 And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.
Hottelah hoi Midian hno kayawtnaw teh a tho awh teh, Joseph teh tangkom dawk hoi a rasa awh teh, Ishmaelnaw koe tangka 20 touh lah a yo awh. Hahoi Joseph teh Izip ram lah a ceikhai awh.
29 And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
Hottelah hoi Reuben teh tangkom koe a tho teh, khenhaw! Joseph teh tangkom thung la awm hoeh toe, hat toteh a khohna hah a ravei.
30 And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
Hahoi a hmaunawnghanaw koe a cei teh, camo awm hoeh toe. Kai teh na lane ka cei han toung telah ati.
31 And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
Joseph e angkidung hah a la awh teh hmaetan a thei awh teh a thi dawk a ranup awh.
32 Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son’s coat, or not.
Em la e angkidung hah a patawn awh teh, a na pa koe a poe awh. Hethateh ka hmu awh e doeh. Na capa e angkidung na ou, khenhaw! hottelah ati awh.
33 And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son’s coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.
A na pa ni a nout teh, ka capa e angkidung doeh. Moimatheng buetbuet touh ni a kei toung hah tayaw. Joseph hah vekrasen lah a hruek toe telah ati.
34 And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
Hottelah hoi Jakop teh a khohna a ravei teh, buri a kâkhu laihoi a hnin moikasaw lah a capa hah a khui.
35 And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, (Sheol h7585)
A capanaw pueng hoi a canunaw pueng hah ahni a lungpahawi hanelah a thaw awh, hateiteh, a na pa ni a lungpahawinae ngai pouh hoeh. Khui nalaihoi phuen koe ka capa koevah ka cei han toe telah ati. Hottelah hoi a na pa teh ahni a pouk lawi a khui a ka. (Sheol h7585)
36 The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
Midiannaw ni Joseph teh Izip ram dawk a kâenkhai awh teh, Faro kut rahim e imkaringkung Potiphar koevah a yo awh.
