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?
Egypt ah cangtham a om te Jakob loh a hmuh vaengah a ca rhoek te Jakob loh, “Ba dongah lae sut na sawt uh thae? a ti nah.
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.
phoeiah, “Egypt ah cangtham om tila ka yaak dongah he, n'duek uh pawt tih n'hing uh mak atah te lam khaw cet uh lamtah mah hamla koivawn uh saw,” a ti nah.
3 So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians.
Te dongah Joseph kah a maya hlang rha rhoek loh Egypt kah cang lai ham suntla uh.
4 But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him.
Tedae Joseph mana Benjamin te tah nganboh yook ve a ti dongah a maya rhoek taengah Jakob loh tueih pawh.
5 And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan.
Kanaan kho te khokha a om dongah koivawn ham aka cet rhoek lakli ah Israel ca rhoek khaw cet uh.
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.
Te vaengah Joseph tah a kho kah boei neh diklai pilnam boeih ham cang a yoih. Te dongah Joseph kah a maya rhoek te a caeh uh vaengah anih taengah a maelhmai neh diklai la bakop uh.
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.
A hmuh vaengah Joseph loh a maya rhoek te a hmat ngawn dae amih taengah muet uh tih rhaprhap a voek phoeiah, “Me lamkah lae na lo uh,” a ti nah hatah, “Caak lai ham Kanaan kho lamkah ka lo,” a ti nauh.
8 (Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him.
Joseph loh a maya rhoek te a hmat ngawn dae amih loh Joseph te hmat uh pawh.
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.
Te vaengah Joseph loh amih kawng a man vaengkah mueimang te a poek. Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih he rhalyuep ni, khohmuen kah a yah te sawt ham ni na lo uh,” a ti nah.
10 But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come.
Tedae amah taengah “Pawh, ka boeipa, na salpa rhoek halo he caak lai ham ngawn ni.
11 Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies.
Kaimih he hlang pakhat kah a ca rhoek boeih ni. Kaimih hmantang rhoek ni, na sal kaimih ah he longyam a om moenih,” a ti uh.
12 But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land.
Tedae amih te Joseph loh khohmuen kah a yah dongah sawt ham na lo uh pawt het nim,” a ti nah.
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.
Na sal rhoek kaimih boeinaphung he hlang pakhat kah a ca rhoek la Kanaan kho ah hlai nit ka lo uh tih a poeih tah tahae ah a pa neh om rhoi dae pakhat te om voelpawh,” a ti nauh.
14 Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies.
Tedae amih te Joseph loh, “Nangmih taengah ka thui bangla nangmih he longyam ni ka ti,
15 Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither.
Pharaoh kah a hingnah vanbangla he nen he kan noem ni. Na mana a poeih te he la halo pawt atah he lamloh na voei uh mahpawh.
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.
Nangmih khuikah pakhat te tueih uh lamtah na mana te lo saeh. Nangmih ngawntah kang khoh uh vetih nangmih kah olka te na khuikah oltak la a om atah kan nuemnai pueng ni. Te pawt koinih Pharaoh kah a hingnah vanbangla nangmih he longyam ni,” a ti nah.
17 So he put them in warde three dayes.
Te dongah amih te thongim ah hnin thum a khoh.
18 Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God.
Tedae a thum khohnin ah Joseph loh a maya rhoek la he tlam he ka saii dae, kai khaw aka hing Pathen te ka rhih van.
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:
Na thuem uh atah na manuca khat te im kah thongim khuiah khoh saeh. Te vaengah nangmih te cet uh lamtah na im kah aka lamlum ham cang khuen pauh.
20 But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so.
Tedae na mana a poeih te kai taengah nan khuen uh vaengah nangmih kah olka te khaw cak vetih na duek uh van mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah te tlam te a rhoi uh.
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.
Te vaengah amah boeinaphung te khat khat ah, “Manuca a hinglu kah citcai te hmuh uh tih mamih taengah calcal a pang lalah n'yaak pah uh pawt dongah tekah citcai loh m'mah taengla ha thoeng tih mamih he rheprhep n'rhaem coeng,” a ti uh.
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.
Te vaengah Reuben loh amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui moenih a? Camoe te veet uh boeh ka ti lalah na ya uh pawt tih a thii han suk coeng he,” a ti nah.
23 (And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.)
Tedae amih laklo ah oldoe a om dongah Joseph loh a yakming te amih loh ming uh pawh.
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.
Te dongah Joseph loh amih taeng lamkah mael tih a rhah phoeiah amih taengla koep halo. Tedae amih te a voek phoeiah amih khui kah Simeon te a loh tih amamih kah mikhmuh ah a khoh pah.
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.
Tedae Joseph loh a uen coeng dongah amih kah hnopai te cang a sang thiluh. Te vaengah a tangka te khaw a tolkhui khuiah rhip a khueh ham khaw, amih ham te longpueng kah lampu khaw paek ham khaw, a saii pah.
26 And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence.
Te dongah amamih kah cang te laak dongla a pom hang uh tih pahoi cet uh.
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.
Tedae rhaehim ah tah pakhat loh laak rhamcak loh ham a tolkhui te a hlam hatah a tangka te sungkoi kah a rhai ah lawt a hmuh tarha.
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?
Te dongah a manuca rhoek taengah, “Kai kah sungkoi dongah kamah kah tangka koep ham mael bal he,” a ti nah hatah amih lungbuei khaw mawt sut dongah lakueng uh tih a boeinaphung khat rhip loh, “Pathen loh mamih ham balae a saii he,” a ti uh.
29 And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying,
Te dongah Kanaan kho kah a napa Jakob taengla a pha uh vaengah amih taengah aka thoeng boeih te amah taengah puen uh.
30 The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.
Tekah hlang, a kho kah boei te kaimih taengah rhaprhap cal tih kaimih te a kho kah longyam bangla n'khueh.
31 And we sayd vnto him, We are true men, and are no spies.
Tedae anih taengah, 'hmantang ah kaimih he longyam la ka om moenih.
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.
A pa kah a ca rhoek la ka boeinaphung ah hlai nit ka lo uh dae pakhat om voelpawt tih a poeih ngawn tah tihnin ah khaw a pa neh Kanaan kho ah hmaih om,’ ka ti nauh.
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,
Tedae tekah hlang, a kho kah boei loh kaimih te, 'boeinaphung kah pakhat te kai taengah na caehtak uh tih te nen te nangmih na thuem ka ming phoeiah na im kah aka lamlum ham caak khuen uh lamtah cet uh.
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.
Tedae na mana a poeih te kai taengah han khuen uh. Te daengah ni nangmih te longyam rhoek pawt tih na hmantang tila ka ming eh. Na manuca te nangmih taengla kan paek vetih khohmuen ah na thenpom uh bitni,’ a ti,” a ti uh.
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.
Te dongah amamih kah tolkhui te a kong uh hatah a tangka cun te tolkhui dongah rhip tarha om tih tangka cun a hmuh uh vaengah amamih long khaw a napa long khaw a rhih uh.
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.
Te vaengah a napa Jakob loh amih te, “Kai taengah, Joseph na hlong uh tih om voelpawh. Simeon khaw om voelpawh. Tahae ah Benjamin bal atah kai taengkah aka om boeih te lo loh ne,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Reuben loh a napa taengah, “Anih te namah taengla kan khuen pawt atah kai ca rhoi khaw ngawn mai. Ka kut dongah han tloeng lamtah kamah loh nang taengla kang khuen bit ni,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
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)
Tedae anih loh, “Ka ca te a maya duek tih amah bueng a sueng dongah nangmih taengla ha suntla boel saeh. Longpueng na caeh uh vaengah yoethae puei vetih kai sampok he saelkhui ah kothae la nan hla uh ve,” a ti nah. (Sheol h7585)
