Genesis 42
1 Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other?
Izip prae ah cang oh, tito Jakob mah thaih naah, a caanawk khaeah, Tikhoe nangmacae hoi nangmacae to nang khet o khing loe?
2 And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die.
Khenah, Izip prae ah cang oh, tiah ka thaih; caeh o tathuk loe, a duek o han ai a hing o thai hanah, cang to qan oh, tiah a naa.
3 So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
To pongah Joseph ih amya hatonawk loe cang qan hanah Izip prae ah caeh o tathuk.
4 But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
Toe Jakop mah raihaih tong moeng tih, tiah zithaih tawnh pongah, Joseph ih amnawk, Benjamin loe patoeh ai.
5 And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Kanaan prae ah khokha pongah, cang qan han caeh kaminawk thungah, Israel ih caanawk athum o toeng.
6 Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him.
Joseph loe prae ukkung ah oh moe, kaminawk khaeah cang zawkung ah oh; Joseph ih amyanawk loe caeh o moe, anih hmaa ah long ah akuep o.
7 And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile.
Joseph mah amyanawk to hnuk naah, nihcae to maat boih, toe kami kalah baktiah angsak pae moe, nihcae to lok kaham hoiah tapring; nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe naa hoiah maw nang zoh o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Cang qan hanah Kanaan prae hoiah kang zoh o, tiah a naa o.
8 (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
Joseph mah amyanawk to panoek, toe nihcae mah anih to panoek o ai.
9 And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land.
Joseph mah nihcae kawng thuih koehhaih amang to a poek moe, nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe tamquta hoi misa khen kami ni, prae thung thazokhaih oh maw, om ai tiah khet han ih ni nang zoh o, tiah a naa.
10 But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
Nihcae mah, To tih na ai ni, ka angraeng, na tamnanawk loe cang qan han ih ni kang zoh o.
11 Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
Kaicae loe kami maeto ih caa ni, kaicae loe kahoih kami ah ni ka oh o, na tamnanawk loe minawk khen paqu kami na ai ni, tiah a naa o.
12 But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
Nihcae khaeah, To tih na ai ni; prae thung thazokhaih oh maw, om ai tiah khet han ih ni nang zoh o, tiah a naa.
13 And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Toe nihcae mah, Kaicae loe nawkamya hatlai hnetto ka oh o moe, Kanaan prae ah kaom kami maeto ih caa ah ni ka oh o boih; khenah, asoi koek loe kam pa khaeah oh moe, maeto loe om ai boeh, tiah a naa o.
14 Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, Kang thuih o ih baktiah ni na oh o; nangcae loe tamquta hoi misa khen kami ni, tiah a naa.
15 Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
To tih boeh loe nangcae tanoek hanah hae tiah om nasoe, nam nawk asoi koek to haeah angzo ai nahaeloe, Faro hing thung hae ahmuen hoiah na tacawt o thai mak ai.
16 Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies.
Nangcae loktang thuih maw, thui ai tito tanoek hanah, nangmacae thung ih kami maeto patoeh oh, anih mah nam nawk kanawk koek to haeah angzo haih nasoe; to tih ai nahaeloe, Faro hing thung nangcae loe tamquta hoi misa khen kami ah ni na om o tih, tiah a naa.
17 So he put them in warde three dayes.
To pacoengah nihcae to ni thumto thung thongim pakhrak.
18 Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
Ni thumto naah loe Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, Kai loe Sithaw ka zit, nangcae na hing o thai hanah, hae tiah sah oh;
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses:
kahoih kami ah na oh o nahaeloe, nangcae thung ih kami maeto thongim thungah caeh o taak ah; kalah kaminawk loe im ah kaom zok kamthlam kaminawk hanah cang to phaw pae oh;
20 But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
nam nawk asoi koek to kai khaeah nang hoih o nahaeloe, nang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah katoeng kami ah na om o ueloe, na hing o tih, tiah a naa. To tiah a thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah nihcae mah sak o.
21 And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs.
To naah nihcae mah, aimacae ih amnawk nuiah zaehaih a tawnh o boeh; anih mah tahmenhaih ang hnik naah, anih loe kawkruk maw poek angpho, tito a panoek o, toe aicae mah a thuih ih lok tahngai pae o ai; to pongah vaihi aicae nuiah tasoehhaih phak boeh, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required.
Reuben mah nihcae khaeah, Nawkta nuiah zaehaih sah o hmah, tiah kang thuih o naah na tahngai o ai to loe? To pongah khenah, vaihi loe anih ih athii tho a hnu o tih boeh, tiah a naa.
23 (And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
Lok lehkung to patoh pongah, Joseph mah nihcae ih lok to thaih kop, tiah nihcae mah panoek o ai.
24 Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes.
Joseph loe nihcae khae hoi kalah bangah angqoi moe qah; toe angqoi let moe, nihcae khaeah lokthuih pae let, nihcae mikhnuk ah Simeon to naeh moe, qui hoiah pathlet.
25 So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them.
Joseph mah nihcae ih dip thungah cang to thaengh pae moe, a paek o ih phoisa doeh angmacae ih dip thungah pacaeng pae let pacoengah, loklam ah caak koi hmuennawk pacaeng pae hanah, lok a thuih pae; to tiah nihcae hanah a sak pae.
26 And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
Angmacae ih laa hrang nuiah cang to thuengh o moe, a caeh o.
27 And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth.
Ataihaih ahmuen ah phak o naah, kami maeto mah angmah ih laa hrang to rawkcak paek hanah dip to paongh, to naah phoisa to dip thungah a hnuk.
28 Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs?
Angmah ih nawkamyanawk khaeah, Khenah, phoisa ang pakut let, kai ih dip thungah oh, tiah a naa. To naah palungboeng o moe, tasoehhaih hoiah oh o; tipongah Sithaw mah aicae nuiah hae tiah hmuen a sak vai? tiah maeto hoi maeto ang thuih o.
29 And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
Kanaan prae ah ampa Jakob khae phak o naah, a tongh o ih hmuennawk boih a thuih pae o; nihcae mah,
30 The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
to prae ukkung angraeng mah lok kaham hoiah kaicae to ang tapring; kaicae loe tamquta hoi prae thazokhaih khen kami ah a poek.
31 And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
Kaicae mah anih khaeah, Kaicae loe kahoih kami ni, tamquta hoi minawk khen kami na ai ni;
32 We be twelue brethren, sonnes of our father: one is not, and the yongest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
kaicae loe nawkamya hathai hnetto ka oh o moe, ampa maeto ih caa ni, maeto loe om ai boeh; kanawk koek loe Kanaan prae ah kam pa khaeah oh, tiah ka thuih pae o.
33 Then the Lord of the countrey sayde vnto vs, Hereby shall I knowe if ye be true men: Leaue one of your brethren with me, and take foode for the famine of your houses and depart,
To naah to prae ukkung angraeng mah, kaicae khaeah, Kami kahoih ah na oh o, tiah ka panoek thai hanah, nangcae thung ih kami maeto kai khaeah na caeh o taak ah, kalah kaminawk loe na imthung takoh zok kamthlam kaminawk hanah cang to phaw pae oh;
34 And bring your yongest brother vnto me, that I may knowe that ye are no spies, but true men: so will I deliuer you your brother, and yee shall occupie in the land.
nangcae loe tamquta hoi misa khen kami na ai, kahoih kami ni, tiah ka panoek thai hanah, nangcae ih amnawk asoi koek to kai khaeah angzo o haih ah; to pacoengah haeah kaom nam nawk hae kang paek o let han; to naah ni prae thungah hmuenmae na zaw o thai vop tih, tiah ang naa, tiah a thuih pae o.
35 And as they emptied their sacks, behold, euery mans bundel of money was in his sacke: and when they and their father sawe the bundels of their money, they were afrayde.
Angmacae dip thung ih cang to pakong o boih naah, khenah, angmacae ih phoisa bawm loe dip thungah oh boih let; angmacae hoi ampa mah phoisa tabunawk to hnuk naah, tasoeh o.
36 Then Iaakob their father said to them, Ye haue robbed me of my children: Ioseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Beniamin: all these things are against me.
Ampa Jakob mah nihcae khaeah, Ka caanawk to nang tahmat pae o boih boeh; Joseph loe om ai boeh moe, Simeon doeh om ai boeh; vaihi Benjamin lak hanah na thuih o let bae vop; hae hmuennawk hae ka koeh baktiah om thai ai, tiah a naa.
37 Then Reuben answered his father, saying, Slay my two sonnes, if I bring him not to thee againe: deliuer him to mine hand, and I will bring him to thee againe.
To naah Reuben mah ampa khaeah, Anih nang khaeah kang zo o haih let ai nahaeloe, ka caa hnik hae hum hmaek ah; ka ban ah na paek ah, kai mah kang hoih let han hmang, tiah a naa.
38 But he said, My sonne shall not go downe with you: for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if death come vnto him by the way which ye goe, then ye shall bring my gray head with sorow vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
Toe Jakob mah, Ka capa hae na caeh haih mak ai; amya duek boeh moe, anih loe angmabueng ah ni oh boeh, loklam ah kasae tongh moeng nahaeloe, palungset loiah ka lu ih sampok hoi nawnto ah ni taprong thungah nang caeh o sak tih boeh, tiah a naa. (Sheol h7585)
