Genesis 43
1 Now great famine was in the land.
Tedae diklai ah khokha a nah pueng dongah,
2 And when they had eaten vp the vitaile, which they had brought from Egypt, their father sayd vnto them, Turne againe, and bye vs a little foode.
Egypt lamkah a khuen cang te khaw bawt a khawk uh. Te dongah a napa Jakob loh a ca rhoek la, “Cet lamtah mah caak ham bet vawn uh dae,” a ti nah.
3 And Iudah answered him, saying, The man charged vs by an othe, saying, Neuer see my face, except your brother be with you.
Te vaengah Judah loh a napa te, “Hlang loh kaimih taengah, 'Na mana te namah neh na pawk pawt atah kai maelhmai na hmuh uh mahpawh,’ a ti tih n'hih la n'hih.
4 If thou wilt sende our brother with vs, we will goe downe, and bye thee foode:
Ka mana te nan tueih mai koinih ka cet uh vetih namah ham man caak ka lai uh ve.
5 But if thou wilt not send him, we wil not go downe: for the man said vnto vs, Looke me not in the face, except your brother be with you.
Nan tueih van pawt atah hlang loh kaimih taengah, 'Na mana te namah neh na pawk pawt atah kai maelhmai hmu uh mahpawh,’ a ti oeh dongah ka cet uh mahpawh, a ti nah.
6 And Israel sayd, Wherefore delt ye so euill with me, as to tell the man, whether ye had yet a brother or no?
Te dongah Israel loh, “Na mana khat te khaw ba ham lae hlang taengla na puen uh tih kai he nan talh uh,” a ti nah.
7 And they answered, The man asked straitly of our selues and of our kinred, saying, Is your father yet aliue? haue ye any brother? And wee tolde him according to these wordes: could we knowe certainely that he would say, Bring your brother downe?
Te dongah a ca rhoek loh, “Hlang loh mamih kawng neh pacaboeina kawng te n'dawt n'dawt tih, 'Na pa hing pueng a? Na mana om a? a ti dongah a ka dongkah olka te ni ka doo uh dae, 'Na mana han khuen,’ a ti ni tila ka ming khaw ka ming uh huek a,” a ti na uh.
8 Then sayde Iudah to Israel his father, Send the boy with mee, that we may rise and goe, and that we may liue and not dye, both we, and thou, and our children.
Tedae Judah loh a napa Israel la, “Camoe te kamah neh n'tueih lamtah caeh hamla ka hlah uh pawn ni. Te daengah ni n'hing uh vetih kaimih khaw, namah khaw, camoe rhoek khaw n'duek pawt eh.
9 I wil be suertie for him: of mine hand shalt thou require him. If I bring him not to thee, and set him before thee, then let me beare the blame for euer.
Anih te kamah loh ka kaem. Nang taengla kam bal puei tih kamah kut lamkah nang hmai ah kan khueh pawt atah han suk. Khohnin takuem nang taengah tholh ka phueih bit ni.
10 For except we had made this tarying, doutlesse by this we had returned the second time.
Tedae ka uelh uh pawt koinih he la koep ka voei uh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
11 Then their father Israel sayd vnto them, If it must needes be so now, do thus: take of the best fruites of the lande in your vessels, and bring the man a present, a little rosen, and a little hony, spices and myrrhe, nuttes, and almondes:
Te daengah a napa Israel loh, “He tlam he saii laeh, tolrhum kah thaihthen, thingpi khaw, khoitui khaw, anhoi khaw, myrrh khaw yungkha mu khaw, noepai mu khaw, a yol a yol tah na hno dongah rhip sang uh lamtah hlang ham te khosaa la khuen uh.
12 And take double money in your hande, and the money, that was brought againe in your sackes mouthes: cary it againe in your hand, lest it were some ouersight.
Na kut dongah tangka rhaepnit la khuen uh lamtah na sungkoi so kah tangka te khaw mael puei uh. Na kut dongah na loh tholh khaming.
13 Take also your brother and arise, and go againe to the man.
Na mana khaw khuen uh. Hlah uh lamtah hlang taengla ha cet uh laeh.
14 And God almightie giue you mercie in the sight of the man, that hee may deliuer you your other brother, and Beniamin: but I shall be robbed of my childe, as I haue bene.
Hlang hmai ah khaw Pathen Tlungthang loh nangmih taengah haidamnah han khueh saeh lamtah na mana neh Benjamin te han hlah saeh. Ka loh cakol khaw ka cakol mai eh?,” a ti nah.
15 Thus the men tooke this present, and tooke twise so much money in their hande with Beniamin, and rose vp, and went downe to Egypt and stoode before Ioseph.
Te dongah tekah hlang rhoek loh khosaa te a khuen uh. Te phoeiah a kut dongkah tangka te rhaepnit la a khuen uh tih aka thoo uh te Benjamin khaw Egypt la a suntlak puei uh tih Joseph hmai ah pai uh.
16 And whe Ioseph saw Beniamin with them, he sayde to his stewarde, Bring these men home and kill meate, and make ready: for the men shall eate with me at noone.
Joseph loh amih neh Benjamin te a hmuh vaengah a im aka khut taengah, “Hlang rhoek te im la khuen. Te phoeiah maeh ngawn lamtah kamah neh khothun buh caak ham sai,” a ti nah.
17 And the man did as Ioseph bad, and brought the men vnto Iosephs house.
Tekah hlang long khaw Joseph kah a thui bangla a saii van tih hlang rhoek te Joseph im la a khuen.
18 Nowe when the men were brought into Iosephs house, they were afrayd, and sayd, Because of the money, that came in our sackes mouthes at the first time, are we brought, that hee may picke a quarrell against vs, and lay some thing to our charge, and bring vs in bondage and our asses.
Tedae Joseph im la a khuen uh vaengah hlang rhoek loh a rhih uh. Te dongah, “A moecuek ah mamih kah sungkoi khuiah koep a khueh tangka kawng dongah mamih palet ham neh mamih aka cungku sak ham ni. Te dongah mamih khaw laak rhoek khaw sal la tuuk ham n'khuen coeng,” a ti uh.
19 Therefore came they to Iosephs stewarde, and communed with him at the doore of ye house.
Te dongah Joseph im kah hlang taengla thoeih uh tih im kah thohka ah a voek uh.
20 And said, Oh syr, we came in deede down hither at the first time to bye foode,
Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa aw, a moecuek vaengah ni caak lai ham ka suntlak khaw ka suntlak uh coeng.
21 And as wee came to an ynne and opened our sackes, behold, euery mans money was in his sackes mouth, euen our money in full weight, but we haue brought it againe in our handes.
Tedae rhaehim ka pha uh vaengah kamamih kah sungkoi te ka hlam uh hatah sungkoi kah a rhai ah tangka te rhip a om tarha dongah amah tarhing la ka kut dongah ka tangka te kan khuen uh.
22 Also other money haue we brought in our handes to bye foode, but we cannot tell, who put our money in our sackes.
Te phoeiah caak lai ham te ka kut dongah tangka a hloeh la kang khuen uh ngawn. Unim kaimih kah sungkoi dongah tangka a khueh dae ka ming uh pawh,” a ti uh.
23 And he said, Peace be vnto you, feare not: your God and the God of your father hath giuen you that treasure in your sackes, I had your money: and he brought forth Simeon to them.
Tedae Joseph im om loh, “Nangmih taengah rhoepnah om saeh, rhih uh boeh. Na Pathen neh na pa kah Pathen loh na sungkoi dongah nangmih ham kawn a khueh tih na tangka loh kai taeng ham pha coeng,” a ti nah tih Simeon te amih taengla a mawt pah.
24 So the man led them into Iosephs house, and gaue them water to wash their feete, and gaue their asses prouender.
Tekah hlang loh hlang rhoek te Joseph im la a khuen. Tui a paek tih a kho a yuh phoeiah laak ham rhamcak khaw a tloeng pah.
25 And they made ready their present against Ioseph came at noone, (for they heard say, that they should eate bread there)
Tedae khothun buh caak pahoi ham Joseph ha pawk ni tila a yaak uh dongah a khosaa te a soepboe uh.
26 When Ioseph came home, they brought the present into the house to him, which was in their handes, and bowed downe to the grounde before him.
Te dongah im la Joseph halo van neh a kut dongkah khosaa te im khuila a khuen uh tih a hmaiah diklai la bakop uh.
27 And he asked them of their prosperitie, and sayd, Is your father the olde man, of whome ye tolde me, in good health? is he yet aliue?
Te phoeiah amih te sading kawng a dawt tih, “Na pa patong na ti uh te sading la hing pueng a?,” a ti nah.
28 Who answered, Thy seruant our father is in good health, he is yet aliue: and they bowed downe, and made obeysance.
Te vaengah, “Na sal rhoek khaw ka sading uh tih a pa khaw hing pueng,” a ti nah uh phoeiah buluk uh tih a bawk la a bawk uh coeng.
29 And he lifting vp his eyes, beheld his brother Beniamin his mothers sonne, and sayde, Is this your yonger brother, of whome ye tolde me? And he said, God be merciful vnto thee, my sone.
Te vaengah a mik a huel hatah a manu ca, a mana Benjamin te a hmuh tih, “Na mana a poeih na ti uh te anih a?,” a ti nah tih, “Ka ca Pathen loh nang n'rhen saeh,” a ti nah.
30 And Ioseph made haste (for his affection was inflamed towarde his brother, and sought where to weepe) and entred into his chamber, and wept there.
Tedae Joseph loh a manuca rhoek taengah a haidamnah pahoi tloo tih a rhah thaa la huut. Te dongah imkhui la cet tih pahoi rhap.
31 Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himselfe, and sayd, Set on meate.
Tedae a hmai a hlak phoeiah halo tih thiim uh. Te phoeiah, “Buh poep laeh,” a ti nah.
32 And they prepared for him by himselfe, and for them by themselues, and for the Egyptians, which did eate with him, by themselues, because the Egyptians might not eate bread with the Ebrewes: for that was an abomination vnto the Egyptians.
Te dongah Joseph khaw amah loh, a manuca te khaw amah amah loh, Joseph taengkah aka ca Egypt rhoek long khaw amah amah loh a poep uh. Te Egypt ham tueilaehkoi la a om dongah Hebrew taengah buh caak ham Egypt ham tah coeng pawh.
33 So they sate before him: the eldest according vnto his age, and the yongest according vnto his youth. and the men marueiled among themselues.
Te vaengah caming tah amah caminghamsum bangla, a capoeih khaw a capoeih hamsum bangla a mikhmuh ah ngol uh. Te dongah hlang rhoek tah pakhat loh a hui taengah a ngaihmang uh.
34 And they tooke meases from before him, and sent to them: but Beniamins mease was fiue times so much as any of theirs: and they drunke, and had of the best drinke with him.
Te vaengah Joseph loh amah hmai kah buham te amih ham a poep pa thil hatah Benjamin kah buham ngawtah amih boeih kah buham lakah a pueh panga la yet. A ok uh tih a taengah rhuihmil uh.
