< Genesis 43 >
1 In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land.
Tuhin Canaan gamsunga kel lhah chu akhoh cheh cheh jeng in ahi.
2 And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again and buy us a little food.
Egypt gam'a kon a ahinpoh'u anchang aneh chai phat un hichun apao Jacob in achate jah a aseitai, “Nung che kit unlang neh ding gacho kit tauvin,” ati.
3 Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.
Ahin Judah in apa Jacob a donbut in, “Gamsung lamkai pa chun hatah in eigah un, na sopi pao chu nahin puilou ule kamai namu lou dingu ahi,” ati.
4 If therefore thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee.
Benjamin keiho toh na sol khom le kache dingu anchang kaga choh dingu ahi ati.
5 But if thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother.
Amavang Benjamin che ding naphal loule keiho jong kache lou hel ding'u ahi taiti geldoh in, ajeh chu gamsung lamkai pa chun aseiye, “Na sopi pao alhum pen pachu nahin pui lou ule kamai namu lou dingu ahi atisa ahi.”
6 Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery in that you told him you had also another brother.
Hichun Jacob in adonbut in, “Ibol a nang hon nei suh genthei ju hitam, hiche gamvai popa koma chu sopi khat ka nei nalai uve tia nahin seidoh uham,” ati.
7 But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?
Amahon a donbut un, “Hiche gamsung lamkai pa chun eiho insung chan chin thu hoitah in aman thudoh eineijun, napao dam nalai em tin eidong un, hiche a chun keihon amapa thudoh ho chu ka donbut cheh un, chule keima hon iti ka het thei diu ham? na sopi pao hinpui yun ati ding chu,” atiuve.
8 And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.
Judah in apa Israel koma asei tan, “Chapang pachu hin sol in hiche teng chule keiho kaga che diu ahi, chule eiho jouse le echateu jouse iki hinso thei ding'u ahi ati.
9 I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
Chule keima ka tahsa tah in mopo nang kate ijem tia boina aum khah le, ahin Benjamin chu kahin nung pui loule boina jouse keiman mo ka poh ding ahi ati; chule nangma angsunga mopoh na thepmo na jouse keima chunga chu jeng hen ati.
10 If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.
Amavang eiho ana geisang hih leu hen tuphat a hi nivei tobang kilhung thei ding ahitai.”
11 Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
Chuphat in apao Israel chun ajah uva, ‘chuti ding mong ahiya ahile hiti hin ki gong uvin, gamsunga thingga phalai cheh lheng khom uvin lang, thingnai, lou them khat le khoiju them khat toh, thil namtwi toh, thei chang toh, chule jonmot chang toh nadip sunguva mipa peh ding chun posuh uvin ati.’
12 And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.
Chule dangka jong athop in pohbe un, ajeh chu na dip sung uva anaki koi chu koitobang khat in jong anabol khel jong himai thei ahi.
13 And take also your brother, and go to the man.
Hijeh chun nasopi pao hi pui jun lang gamsung lamkai heng a nung che tauvin.
14 And may my almighty God make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.
Chule hatchung nung Pathen in phatthei naboh maiju hen, hiche gamsung vaipo mit mua jong ngailut na mel na chan thei na diuvin ati, chule nangma hon na sopi pao Simeon chule Benjamin na hin hen ohna lou dingu vin, chule keima vang ka chate jal'a thilo pai ding ka hitai,” ati.
15 So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Hichun amahon Jacob thilpeh ho chu agongtup un, chule adipsung uva sum jong athop in apoh be uvin, Benjamin toh akilhon tauve; hichun amaho Egypt gam alhung taovin Joseph masanga a ding tauvin ahi.
16 And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon.
Chuin Joseph in Benjamin amaho lah a ahung chu amutan, hichun aman a insunga lhacha a pangho jah a hitin aseiye, “Amaho toh'in tunia an nekho ding ka hiuvin hijeh chun insung lama ana puilut un, chule gancha ana that un, kin thupitah kimang ding ahi.”
17 He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the house.
Hichun lhacha hon Joseph in asei bang chun abol'un, amaho sese chu Joseph inlam a apuitau vin ahi.
18 And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.
Joseph insung a akipui lut jengu amudoh phat’ uvin miho chu aki chau vin, “Iche masah uva idip sunguva sum anaki nung hetlut jeh a hikoma hi eipui lut'uva, chutia chu mi khat hin hehset neu neuva, kitaole na einei dingu chuteng le eiho chengse soh a einei uva chule isangan teu aboncha akilah got hiya ahitai,” akiti uve.
19 Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,
Judah le asopihon Joseph insunga lhacha lamkai pa koma ache un akelkot koma hitin asei uve.
20 They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before to buy food:
Amaho atao vun; Ja umtah pu, keima ho hi phat masa chun Egypt gam'a anchang cho a ka hung uve.
21 And when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
Ahin keiho kaki nungle uchun jan ahiphat in ka dip sungu kahon doh ule hichun keihon ka dipsung uva dangka thil choh na man ho chu mijouse dipsunga ana umsoh keiye, tuhin hiche dangka ho chu ka hin nungpoh cheh nauve.
22 And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.
Chule keihon chang chohbe nading dangka jong ka hin pohbe uvin, koi tobang ham khat in dangka ho ka dipsung uva ana koi jong chu ka pum het pouve.
23 But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them.
Imacha lungboina nei hih un, tin insung lhacha pa chun aseiye, Na Pakai na pate Pathen chun na dipsung uva nahin koipeh'u ahi, na dangka hou jong keima koma aum nai; hichun aman Simeon chu alha kang in amaho laha ahinpui dohtan ahi.
24 And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
Insung lhacha pa chun miho chu Joseph leng insung lama apuilut tauvin ahi, insung lhacha pan twi akengu kisil ngim na ding apen chule sangan ho ding anneh jong ape uvin ahi.
25 But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
Hichun amahon Joseph peh dinga ahin thilpoh houchu akigon tup uvin, chule amahon aja tauvin sunteng le Joseph toh an aneh khom ding'u thu chu;
26 Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to the ground.
Hichun Joseph in ahung lhun chun amahon athil poh'u chu ahin la doh un Joseph masanga tol'a abohkhup tauvin ahi.
27 But he, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living?
Amahon alemjou chun adong tan napao akum atam tai nati pao chu “Dam jinga hinam, ama chu dam dam a hinam tin adong in ahi.”
28 And they answered: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to him.
Amahon adon but un, “Henge adam dam nai atiuve,” chule nasohte keiho dinga ka pao chu adam in ahing na laiye,” chuin amaho Joseph ma sanga abohkhup kit uvin ahi.
29 And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son.
Hichun Joseph in asopipa Benjamin chu aven “Amahi ham na sopiu alhum pen pa na tiu chu tin Joseph in adong tai,” Pathen in na umpi jingta hen O ka chapa!” ati.
30 And he made haste because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber he wept.
Hichun Joseph ama umna insung dena kon in apot doh in, ajeh chu asopipa amu chun ama akitim joutapon, hichun ama indan sungnunga alutin agakaptan ahi.
31 And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.
Chuin amai akiphet jouvin ama ahung potdoh kit in nasatah in akitim ham ham in, “An neh ding hin thuh taovin,” ati.
32 And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane):
Hijeh chun amahon Joseph ding atum in, amaho ding atumin, chule ama toh nekhom ding Egypt mite ding atumin ankong asem tauve, ijeh inem itile Egypt miten Hebrew mite toh an aneh khom ngailouvu, neh khom ding chu Egypt mite dinga bohna khat hiya ahiye.
33 They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much:
Joseph in asopiho chu atouna din akoi peh cheh in, ama hon jong ajalheh jeng un, amaho tahsa kum alen penna pat aneopen pa gei in atou nao agontup peh in atou sah tan ahi.
34 Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Amoho chan ding chu Joseph chan lah akon in asoh doh uvin ahi; chujong le Benjamin chan chu amaho khat chan jat sangin chan ajat ngan atam joi. Hitobang chun ama hon Joseph chutoh an ane khom uvin adon khom tauvin ahi.
