Genesis 37
1 Jacob settled down and lived in Canaan as his father had done.
Hichun Jacob Canaan chu apa khopem na Canaan gamsunga anung chen kit tai.
2 This is the story of Jacob and his family. Joseph was seventeen, and helped look after the flock with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph told his father about some of the bad things his brothers were doing.
Hiche thusim hohi Jacob insung mite a ahi, Joseph kum som le sagi alhinin apa kelngoi ho asopi ho toh aching tup jingin avahva jingun, asopi ho apa jithah chate ho Bilhah le Zilpah chate ho toh natong khom jing ahiuve. Ahin nikhat chu Joseph in asopiho umchan phatlou dan apa kom ahin lhut tan ahi.
3 Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him when he was already old. He made a colorful robe with long sleeves for Joseph.
4 When his brothers noticed that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and had nothing good to say about him.
Amavang asopite hon Joseph chu avetda cheh un ahi, Ajeh chu apan midang ho sanga Joseph angailut najeh in amahon Joseph henga ngailut thucheng thupha seiding hahsa asa lheh un ahi.
5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.
Joseph in nikhat mang anei in amang chu asopiho asei pehle amahon avetda cheh un ahi.
6 “Listen to this dream I had,” he told them.
Aman aseiye, “Ngaijun ka mang ho kasei ding ahi ati.
7 “We were tying up bundles of grain out in the fields when all of a sudden my bundle stood up, and your bundles came over and bowed down to it.”
Ehon phailei lama chang phel ikan khom un, hiche tah chun hetman louvin keima changphal ho chu ading doh in, nangho changphal ho chu keima changphal masanga abohkhup uve,” ati.
8 “Do you really think you're going to be our king?” they asked. “Do you honestly believe you're going to rule over us?” They hated him even more because of his dream and how he described it.
Hichun asopi hon adonbut un, “Amapa chun keiho chunga vaihom ding kigong nahim? Ahiloule keiho chunga thanei ding kigo mong nahim,” atiuve. Hichun amahon amang neitoh athusei doh ho jeh in hatah in avetdau vin ahi.
9 Then he had another dream told his brothers about it. “Listen, I had another dream,” he explained. “The sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down before me.”
Joseph in mang khat aneibe kit in chuin asopi ho chu asei peh kit in aman aseiye, “Ngaijun mang khat ka neibe kitne ati, tun nisa, lha, chule ahsi som le khat ho jong keima masanga abohkhup cheh uve,” ati.
10 He also told his father as well as his brothers, and his father told him off, saying, “What's this dream that you've had? Are we—I and your mother and brothers—really going to come and bow down to the ground before you?”
Tua mang aneipa hi Joseph in apa chule asopite ho jouse jong abonchan aseipeh soh keiyin ahi. Ahin apa in aphoh thip'in,” hiche mang chu ipi tina ham tin adonbut e, “nanu toh kei chule nasopi teho jouse atahbeh a kahung uva nang masanga ka hung boh khup dingu ham?”
11 Joseph's brothers became jealous of him, but his father puzzled over the meaning of the dream.
Ama vang Joseph sopiho chu alung ahang lheh un athangthip thei lheh un, apa vang chun hiche mang chu ipi tina ham ahet thei lou jeh in alung adong lheh in ahi.
12 One day Joseph's brothers took their father's flocks to graze near Shechem.
Phat chomkhat jou chun Joseph sopiho chu Schechem lama apa kelngoi ching ding in achekit tauvin ahi.
13 Israel told Joseph, “Your brothers are looking after the sheep near Shechem. Get ready because I want you to go and see them.” “I'll do it,” Joseph replied.
Amaho chedoh jou phat chomkhat jouvin, Jacob in Joseph koma aseiye, “Nasopite ho Schechem lam a kelngoi hon ho aga vah un ahin, nangma naga che lou khoh ahi atin, Joseph in adonbut in, “keima kaga che ding ahi,” ati.
14 So he told him, “Off you go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing, and come back and let me know.” So he sent him off. Joseph set out from the Hebron Valley,
Jacob in adon but in, “Nangma gache inlang na sopite ho chule kelngoi ho iti hina uvem gaven ati. Amaho thusoh kajah nom kitne, Hebron phaicham apat in asol tan, hichun Joseph hiche Schechem chu ahung lhung tan ahi.
15 and arrived in Shechem. A man there found him wandering about in the field, so he asked him, “What are you looking for?”
Ahin vetan gamlah a lampi akimansah a ava koile na a mi khat in atoh khan mipa chun adongin “Ipi ham nahol le?” atile.
16 “I'm looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they're looking after the flock?”
Joseph in adonbut in, “Ka sopite ho kahol ahi atin, hoi langa gancha ho achin uham neisei peh thei ding ham,” ati.
17 “They've already left,” the man replied. “I heard them say, ‘Let's go to Dothan.’” So Joseph followed his brothers and caught up with them at Dothan.
Mipa chun adonbut in, “Amaho kihou limna kajan eiho Dothan lama chetau hite,” aki tiuve.
18 But they saw him coming way off in the distance, and before he got to them, they made plans to kill him.
Joseph ahung chun asopihon gam la thimtah ahivang in ahe pai tauvin, ama ahung lhun masang in asopite hon Joseph thadoh nading tohgon anei tauvin ahi.
19 “Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.
“Tuhin mang neipa ahung tai,” amahon atiuve.
20 “Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We'll say that some wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what happens to his dreams!”
Hung un amahi that doh taute, chule hiche kotong ho sung khat a pai mang taute. Ipa'u koma hitin seiyu hite, “Gancha khat in Joseph chu a nedoh tai, chule eihon veu hite ama amang ho chu hunggui lhung nam,” atiuve.
21 When Reuben heard all this, he tried to save Joseph from them.
Ahin Reuben in amaho tohgon lung thim ho chu ahet phat in Joseph kitho pi ding in ahungin, “Aman asei tai Joseph hi tha datau hite,” ati.
22 “Let's not attack and kill him,” he suggested. “Don't murder him, just throw him into this pit here in the desert. You don't need to be guilty of violence.” Reuben said this so that he could come back later and rescue Joseph from them and take him home to his father.
Ibola thisan imoh lonsah ding'u ham? hilai kotong gamgo lah a seplut leuhen ama cham in eihon that hih jong leu hen ama thi ta lou ding ham. Reuben chu a lungthima Joseph chu huhdoh tei ding tichu ama dei ahi.
23 So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off his robe—the colorful long-sleeved robe he was wearing—
Hichun Joseph ahung lhun chun asopite hon a sangkhol chol hoitah chu asut lhah peh pai tauvin ahi.
24 grabbed him and threw him into a pit. (The pit was empty—it didn't have any water in it.)
Hichun amahon Joseph chu adah a aman uvin kotong sunga aseplut tauvin, hiche kotong chu imacha umlou twi jong veilou ahi.
25 They were just sitting down to have a meal when they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying aromatic spices, balm, and myrrh to take to Egypt.
Chule amaho sun an ne dinga aumlai tah'un, aga dadoh uva ahile vetan Gilead a kona hung sumkol veile Ishmael miho a sangan ho toh hung kilhona bego le thingthao namtwi toh chule lou namtwi hinpoa Egypt gam lang jonsuh ding amu uvin ahi.
26 “What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death!
Hichun Judah in a sopiho jah a aseiyin, “I sopipau itha doh uva ipi apha chom ding umham,” ati, chule athi san isel mang uva chu ipi phachom ding ham?
27 Instead, why don't we sell him to these Ishmaelites? We don't have to kill him. After all he's our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.
Hung uvin Joseph hi Ishmael te koma joh doh tauhite, isopi nah nah iphe ivou nah nah chu a chunga jong ikhut lhapou hite,” atile asopiten jong asei angai cheh tauve.
28 So when the Ishmaelites (who were traders from Midian) came by, they pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him to them for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites took him to Egypt.
Hiti chun Egypt gam'a kivei miho chun apui tauvin Joseph chu asopihon kotong a kon in a kaidoh un, Ishmael miho Midianite miho koma dangka somni in akijoh doh tauve.
29 When Reuben came back later and looked into the pit, Joseph was gone. He tore his clothes in grief.
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Reuben chu kokhuh langa chun achekit'in ahile Joseph chu kokhuh sunga ana umtapoi, hichun Reuben chu alung akham lheh jengtan asang khol ho chu abottel in ahi.
30 He returned to his brothers. “The boy's gone!” he moaned. “What am I going to do now?”
Hichun Reuben asopiho lah'a akinungle kit in lungkham tah in, “Joseph chu aum tapoi! tua hi keiman ipi kabol ding hitam,” ati.
31 They slaughtered a goat and dipped Joseph's robe in the blood.
Hichun Joseph sopihon kelnou khat athat uvin, athisan chu Joseph sangkhol a chun anu tauve.
32 Then they sent the colorful robe to their father with the message, “We found this. Please examine it and see if it's your son's robe or not.”
Amahon hichu sangkhol thisan anu u-chu apau Jacob athot un, mihon jong apau henga achoi uvin, “Hiche pihi ka mudoh uve, vetem in na chapa sangkhol chol hiya ham hilou ham,” atiuve.
33 His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!”
Jacob'in gangtah in ahedoh pai in, hitin asei tai, “Hiche hi kachapa sangkhol ahi monge gamsa khat in vang anehdoh ahitai ati, Joseph vang hi aphe avou lahthei hita ponte,” ati.
34 Jacob tore his clothes in grief and dressed in sackcloth. He mourned the death of his son for a long time.
Hichun Jacob'in apon ho chu abot tel in khaodip pon akikhu khum tan, Ama ni sottah lung hemin genthei tah in achapa pul adoutan ahi.
35 All his sons and daughters tried to console him, but he rejected their attempts. “No,” he said, “I will go down into my grave mourning for my son.” So Joseph's father went on weeping for him. (Sheol h7585)
Jacob chate jouse le achanute jousen lhepbi ding agong un, ahin amavang lhepbi jou ahitapoi, hitin amapan aseiye, “Keima lunghem pum in kachapa lhankhuh jon tang kate, tin Jacob chu akap e.” (Sheol h7585)
36 In the meantime the Ishmaelites had arrived in Egypt and had sold Joseph to Potiphar. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh's officers, the captain of the guard.
Phat chomkhat jouchun Midian miho chun Joseph chu Potiphar kitipa Pharaoh Egypt lengpa koma semang pachong pa koma ajoh doh tauve. Potiphar natoh chu ahile sepai lah a semang pachong ahi.
