Genesis 42
1 Now Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, and Jacob said unto his sons: 'Why do ye look one upon another?'
Jakop ni Izip ram vah cakang ao tie a panue teh, a capanaw koevah bangkongmaw sut na kâkhet awh.
2 And he said: 'Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt. Get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.'
Izip ram vah cakang ao tie ka panue dout laipalah hring awh nahanlah hawvah cet awh nateh mamouh hanlah ran awh haw, telah ati.
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn from Egypt.
Hottelah Joseph hmaunaw hra touh teh cakang ran hanlah Izip ram a cei awh.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said: 'Lest peradventure harm befall him.'
Hatei, Joseph e a nawngha Benjamin teh a hmaunaw koe Jakop ni cetsak van hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae kâhmo langvaih ati.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Caanan.
Isarel canaw teh cakang ran hanelah a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh Kanaan ram hai takang teh a tho van.
6 And Joseph was the governor over the land; he it was that sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down to him with their faces to the earth.
Joseph teh ram thung bawi a tawk teh, hote ram pueng koe cakang kayawtkung lah ao. Hottelah Joseph e hmaunaw a tho awh teh, a hmalah talai khet laihoi a tabo awh.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spoke roughly with them; and he said unto them: 'Whence come ye?' And they said: 'From the land of Canaan to buy food.'
Joseph ni a hmaunaw hah a hmu teh a panue. Hatei, ka panuek hoeh e patetlah a kâsak teh, ahnimouh koe lawkkahram lahoi nâhoi maw na tho awh atipouh. Ahnimouh ni cakang ran hanelah Kanaan ram hoi ka tho awh atipouh.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew him not.
Joseph ni a hmaunaw hah a panue, hatei ahnimouh ni ahni teh panuek awh hoeh.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them: 'Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.'
Joseph ni ahnimouh kong dawk mang a sak e hah a panue teh ahnimouh koe katuetnaw doeh, khoram caicinae khet hanelah kathonaw doeh atipouh.
10 And they said unto him: 'Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
Ahnimouh ni nahoeh bo ka bawipa, na sannaw hah cakang ran hanelah ka tho awh e doeh, ati awh.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are upright men, thy servants are no spies.'
Tami buet touh e capanaw doeh, tami kahawi doeh. Na sannaw heh katuetnaw nahoeh, atipouh.
12 And he said unto them: 'Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.'
Hatei ahni ni ahnimouh koe na yuem awh hoeh, khoram caicinae khet hanelah na kathonaw doeh atipouh.
13 And they said: 'We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.'
Ahnimouh ni, na sannaw hah hmaunawngha hlaikahni touh ka pha awh. Kanaan ram kaawm tami buet touh e capanaw doeh. Kanawpoung e teh apa koe ao. Buet touh e teh awm hoeh toe, ati awh.
14 And Joseph said unto them: 'That is it that I spoke unto you, saying: Ye are spies.
Hatei Joseph ni ahnimouh koe katuetnaw doeh ka tie hah a tang doeh.
15 Hereby ye shall be proved, as Pharaoh liveth, ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
Hettelah tanouk e lah na o awh han. Kanawpoung e hah hi tho hoehpawiteh Faro hringnae noe lahoi hete hmuen koehoi na tâcawt awh mahoeh.
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you; or else, as Pharaoh liveth, surely ye are spies.'
Nangmouh dawk lawkkatang ao maw awm hoeh maw, nangmae lawk tanouknae lah nangmouh thung dawk e buet touh patoun awh nateh, na nawngha teh thokhai naseh. Nangmouh teh thongim thung na o awh han rah, hoehpawiteh Faro hringnae noe lahoi katuetnaw katang doeh ka ti han, telah ati.
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
Hottelah hnin thum touh abuemlah thongim a paung.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day. 'This do, and live; for I fear God:
Apâthum hnin vah Joseph ni ahnimouh koe hettelah sak awh na hring awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut hah ka taki,
19 if ye be upright men, let one of your brethren be bound in your prison-house; but go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses;
tamikalan lah na awm awh pawiteh nangmouh thung dawk buet touh thongim bawt seh. Alouknaw teh ban awh nateh, takang ka tho e ni imthungnaw hanelah cakang hah phawt awh.
20 and bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die.' And they did so.
Hahoi kanawpoung e hah kai koe thokhai awh. Hat pawiteh, na lawk kamceng vaiteh na dout awh mahoeh, atipouh teh hottelah a sak awh.
21 And they said one to another: 'We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.'
Ahnimouh ni hmaunawngha koe sak awh e hah payon poung awh toe, na pahren awh telah kâhei awh lahun nah a lungpuen e ka hmu awh eiteh, ka tarawi ngai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah hete temdengnae ni na thosin e doeh, telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâdei awh.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying: 'Spoke I not unto you, saying: Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore also, behold, his blood is required.'
Reuben ni ahnimouh koe camo taranlahoi yonnae sak hanh awh, telah nangmouh koe ka dei nahoehmaw. Na thai ngai awh yawmaw. Hatdawkvah khenhaw! a thipaling phu teh atu maimouh koe hei e lah ao toe, telah atipouh.
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for the interpreter was between them.
Hatei Joseph ni lawk tâhlat hno lahoi lawk a dei dawkvah, kho a khan awh e hah Joseph ni a thai panuek doeh tie hah ahnimouh ni panuek awh hoeh.
24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
Hahoi ahnimouh koehoi alouklah a cei teh a ka. Ahnimouh koe bout a tho teh bout a pato, ahnimouh koehoi Simeon hah a hmu awhnae koe a katek.
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus was it done unto them.
Joseph ni ahnimouh cawngko dawk cakang cui hane hoi ahnimae tangka hai cawngko dawk pâseng hanelah kâ a poe. Hateh hottelah a sak awh.
26 And they laded their asses with their corn, and departed thence.
Ahnimouh ni cakang la dawk aphu sak awh teh a tâco awh.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging-place, he espied his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
Ahnimouh thung dawk tami buet touh ni a roe awhnae koe lanaw rawca poe hanelah cawngko a paawng teh tangka hah a hmu, cawngko som dawkvah ao.
28 And he said unto his brethren: 'My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack.' And their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying: 'What is this that God hath done unto us?'
Hottelah a hmaunawnghanaw koevah, kaie tangka bout a ta awh, khenhaw! hei, kaie cawngko dawk ao hei, telah ati. A lungphuen awh teh Cathut ni hettelah na sak aw hei. Bang ngainae han na vaimoe telah ati awh teh, pâyaw laihoi buet touh hoi buet touh a kâkhet awh.
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that had befallen them, saying:
Kanaan ram a na pa Jakop koevah a pha awh, a kâhmo awh e pueng hah a dei pouh awh.
30 'The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
Hot ram dawk e bawi lah kaawm e ni ka matheng poung lah na pato awh teh, ram katuetnaw lah na o awh.
31 And we said unto him: We are upright men; we are no spies.
Hatei, kaimouh ni ahni koe, tamikalannaw doeh. Katuetkung lah khoeroe kaawm awh hoeh.
32 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Hmaunawngha hlaikahni touh ka o awh teh, apa e capa lah ka o awh. Buet touh teh awm hoeh toe. Kanawpoung e teh atu Kanaan ram vah apa koevah ao, telah ka ti pouh awh.
33 And the man, the lord of the land, said unto us: Hereby shall I know that ye are upright men: leave one of your brethren with me, and take corn for the famine of your houses, and go your way.
Hahoi hote ram dawk e bawi ni hettelahoi tamikalan lah na onae ka panue han. Na hmaunawngha buet touh cettakhai awh nateh, na imthungnaw hanelah cakang hah phawt nateh cet awh.
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me; then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are upright men; so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.'
Kanawpoung e hateh, kai koe thokhai awh, hat pawiteh katuetkung lah awm laipalah tamikalan doeh tie ka panue han. Hate ram dawk hno na yo awh han na ti pou, telah ati awh.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
Hahoi, cawngkonaw hah a rabu awh lahun navah, pouk laipalah tangka tangoung hah cawngko dawk ao teh, ahnimouh hoi a na pa ni tangka tangoung hah a hmu awh toteh a lungpuen awh.
36 And Jacob their father said unto them: 'Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away; upon me are all these things come.'
A na pa Jakop ni nangmouh ni ka canaw koung na kahma sak awh toe. Joseph awm hoeh toe, Simeon hai awm hoeh toe. Benjamin totouh ceikhai han na kâcai awh. Hete hnonaw pueng ni na ratet toe, telah ati.
37 And Reuben spoke unto his father, saying: 'Thou shalt slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.'
Reuben ni a na pa koevah, nang koe ka thokhai hoehpawiteh, ka capa roi heh thet yawkaw. Ahni heh ka kut dawk na poe nateh, nang koe bout ka thokhai han, telah ati.
38 And he said: 'My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left; if harm befall him by the way in which ye go, then will ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Hatei ahni ni, ka capa heh nangmouh koe cet van mahoeh, a hmau a due toe, ahni dueng doeh toe. Na ceinae lam dawk runae na kâhmo pawiteh, ka sampo heh lungmathoenae phuen dawk na loum sak awh han toe, telah ati. (Sheol h7585)
