Genesis 42
1 And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless?
Jakop ni Izip ram vah cakang ao tie a panue teh, a capanaw koevah bangkongmaw sut na kâkhet awh.
2 I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want.
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 So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:
Hottelah Joseph hmaunaw hra touh teh cakang ran hanlah Izip ram a cei awh.
4 Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.
Hatei, Joseph e a nawngha Benjamin teh a hmaunaw koe Jakop ni cetsak van hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae kâhmo langvaih ati.
5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
Isarel canaw teh cakang ran hanelah a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Kanaan ram hai takang teh a tho van.
6 And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him,
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 he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life.
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 though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them.
Joseph ni a hmaunaw hah a panue, hatei ahnimouh ni ahni teh panuek awh hoeh.
9 And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land.
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 But they said: It is not so, my lord, but thy servants are come to buy food.
Ahnimouh ni nahoeh bo ka bawipa, na sannaw hah cakang ran hanelah ka tho awh e doeh, ati awh.
11 We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil.
Tami buet touh e capanaw doeh, tami kahawi doeh. Na sannaw heh katuetnaw nahoeh, atipouh.
12 And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.
Hatei ahni ni ahnimouh koe na yuem awh hoeh, khoram caicinae khet hanelah na kathonaw doeh atipouh.
13 But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living.
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 He saith: This is it that I said: You are spies.
Hatei Joseph ni ahnimouh koe katuetnaw doeh ka tie hah a tang doeh.
15 I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.
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 to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you 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 So he put them in prison three days.
Hottelah hnin thum touh abuemlah thongim a paung.
18 And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God.
Apâthum hnin vah Joseph ni ahnimouh koe hettelah sak awh na hring awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut hah ka taki,
19 If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses.
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, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said.
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 And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction 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 Ruben one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy: and you would not hear me? Behold his blood 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 knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.
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 himself away a little while, and wept: and returning he spoke to them.
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 taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man’s money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so.
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 But they having loaded their asses with the corn, went their way.
Ahnimouh ni cakang la dawk aphu sak awh teh a tâco awh.
27 And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack’s mouth;
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 said to his brethren: My money is given me again, behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto 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 to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things 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 lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country.
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 answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.
Hatei, kaimouh ni ahni koe, tamikalannaw doeh. Katuetkung lah khoeroe kaawm awh hoeh.
32 We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan.
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 he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways.
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, that I may know you are not spies: and you may receive this man again, that is kept in prison: and afterwards may have leave to buy what you will.
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 When they had told this, they poured out their corn and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together,
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 Their father Jacob said: You have made me to be without children: Joseph is not living, Simeon is kept in bonds, and Benjamin you will take away: all these evils are fallen upon 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 Ruben answered him: Kill my two sons if I bring him not again to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to thee.
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: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to hell. (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)
