< Genesis 43 >
1 And the famine was sore in the land.
Tuhin Canaan gamsunga kel lhah chu akhoh cheh cheh jeng in ahi.
2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said unto them: 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
Egypt gam'a kon a ahinpoh'u anchang aneh chai phat un hichun apao Jacob in achate jah a aseitai, “Nung che kit unlang neh ding gacho kit tauvin,” ati.
3 And Judah spoke unto him, saying: 'The man did earnestly forewarn us, saying: Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
Ahin Judah in apa Jacob a donbut in, “Gamsung lamkai pa chun hatah in eigah un, na sopi pao chu nahin puilou ule kamai namu lou dingu ahi,” ati.
4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;
Benjamin keiho toh na sol khom le kache dingu anchang kaga choh dingu ahi ati.
5 but if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down, for the man said unto us: Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.'
Amavang Benjamin che ding naphal loule keiho jong kache lou hel ding'u ahi taiti geldoh in, ajeh chu gamsung lamkai pa chun aseiye, “Na sopi pao alhum pen pachu nahin pui lou ule kamai namu lou dingu ahi atisa ahi.”
6 And Israel said: 'Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?'
Hichun Jacob in adonbut in, “Ibol a nang hon nei suh genthei ju hitam, hiche gamvai popa koma chu sopi khat ka nei nalai uve tia nahin seidoh uham,” ati.
7 And they said: 'The man asked straitly concerning ourselves, and concerning our kindred, saying: Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words; could we in any wise know that he would say: Bring your brother down?'
Amahon a donbut un, “Hiche gamsung lamkai pa chun eiho insung chan chin thu hoitah in aman thudoh eineijun, napao dam nalai em tin eidong un, hiche a chun keihon amapa thudoh ho chu ka donbut cheh un, chule keima hon iti ka het thei diu ham? na sopi pao hinpui yun ati ding chu,” atiuve.
8 And Judah said unto Israel his father: 'Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
Judah in apa Israel koma asei tan, “Chapang pachu hin sol in hiche teng chule keiho kaga che diu ahi, chule eiho jouse le echateu jouse iki hinso thei ding'u ahi ati.
9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever.
Chule keima ka tahsa tah in mopo nang kate ijem tia boina aum khah le, ahin Benjamin chu kahin nung pui loule boina jouse keiman mo ka poh ding ahi ati; chule nangma angsunga mopoh na thepmo na jouse keima chunga chu jeng hen ati.
10 For except we had lingered, surely we had now returned a second time.'
Amavang eiho ana geisang hih leu hen tuphat a hi nivei tobang kilhung thei ding ahitai.”
11 And their father Israel said unto them: 'If it be so now, do this: take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spicery and ladanum, nuts, and almonds;
Chuphat in apao Israel chun ajah uva, ‘chuti ding mong ahiya ahile hiti hin ki gong uvin, gamsunga thingga phalai cheh lheng khom uvin lang, thingnai, lou them khat le khoiju them khat toh, thil namtwi toh, thei chang toh, chule jonmot chang toh nadip sunguva mipa peh ding chun posuh uvin ati.’
12 and take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks carry back in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight;
Chule dangka jong athop in pohbe un, ajeh chu na dip sung uva anaki koi chu koitobang khat in jong anabol khel jong himai thei ahi.
13 take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man;
Hijeh chun nasopi pao hi pui jun lang gamsung lamkai heng a nung che tauvin.
14 and God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release unto you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.'
Chule hatchung nung Pathen in phatthei naboh maiju hen, hiche gamsung vaipo mit mua jong ngailut na mel na chan thei na diuvin ati, chule nangma hon na sopi pao Simeon chule Benjamin na hin hen ohna lou dingu vin, chule keima vang ka chate jal'a thilo pai ding ka hitai,” ati.
15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Hichun amahon Jacob thilpeh ho chu agongtup un, chule adipsung uva sum jong athop in apoh be uvin, Benjamin toh akilhon tauve; hichun amaho Egypt gam alhung taovin Joseph masanga a ding tauvin ahi.
16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house: 'Bring the men into the house, and kill the beasts, and prepare the meat; for the men shall dine with me at noon.'
Chuin Joseph in Benjamin amaho lah a ahung chu amutan, hichun aman a insunga lhacha a pangho jah a hitin aseiye, “Amaho toh'in tunia an nekho ding ka hiuvin hijeh chun insung lama ana puilut un, chule gancha ana that un, kin thupitah kimang ding ahi.”
17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Hichun lhacha hon Joseph in asei bang chun abol'un, amaho sese chu Joseph inlam a apuitau vin ahi.
18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said: 'Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.'
Joseph insung a akipui lut jengu amudoh phat’ uvin miho chu aki chau vin, “Iche masah uva idip sunguva sum anaki nung hetlut jeh a hikoma hi eipui lut'uva, chutia chu mi khat hin hehset neu neuva, kitaole na einei dingu chuteng le eiho chengse soh a einei uva chule isangan teu aboncha akilah got hiya ahitai,” akiti uve.
19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they spoke unto him at the door of the house,
Judah le asopihon Joseph insunga lhacha lamkai pa koma ache un akelkot koma hitin asei uve.
20 and said: 'Oh my lord, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food.
Amaho atao vun; Ja umtah pu, keima ho hi phat masa chun Egypt gam'a anchang cho a ka hung uve.
21 And it came to pass, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; and we have brought it back in our hand.
Ahin keiho kaki nungle uchun jan ahiphat in ka dip sungu kahon doh ule hichun keihon ka dipsung uva dangka thil choh na man ho chu mijouse dipsunga ana umsoh keiye, tuhin hiche dangka ho chu ka hin nungpoh cheh nauve.
22 And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food. We know not who put our money in our sacks.'
Chule keihon chang chohbe nading dangka jong ka hin pohbe uvin, koi tobang ham khat in dangka ho ka dipsung uva ana koi jong chu ka pum het pouve.
23 And he said: 'Peace be to you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money.' And he brought Simeon out unto them.
Imacha lungboina nei hih un, tin insung lhacha pa chun aseiye, Na Pakai na pate Pathen chun na dipsung uva nahin koipeh'u ahi, na dangka hou jong keima koma aum nai; hichun aman Simeon chu alha kang in amaho laha ahinpui dohtan ahi.
24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
Insung lhacha pa chun miho chu Joseph leng insung lama apuilut tauvin ahi, insung lhacha pan twi akengu kisil ngim na ding apen chule sangan ho ding anneh jong ape uvin ahi.
25 And they made ready the present against Joseph's coming at noon; for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Hichun amahon Joseph peh dinga ahin thilpoh houchu akigon tup uvin, chule amahon aja tauvin sunteng le Joseph toh an aneh khom ding'u thu chu;
26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down to him to the earth.
Hichun Joseph in ahung lhun chun amahon athil poh'u chu ahin la doh un Joseph masanga tol'a abohkhup tauvin ahi.
27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said: 'Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?'
Amahon alemjou chun adong tan napao akum atam tai nati pao chu “Dam jinga hinam, ama chu dam dam a hinam tin adong in ahi.”
28 And they said: 'Thy servant our father is well, he is yet alive.' And they bowed the head, and made obeisance.
Amahon adon but un, “Henge adam dam nai atiuve,” chule nasohte keiho dinga ka pao chu adam in ahing na laiye,” chuin amaho Joseph ma sanga abohkhup kit uvin ahi.
29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin his brother, his mother's son, and said: 'Is this your youngest brother of whom ye spoke unto me?' And he said: 'God be gracious unto thee, my son.'
Hichun Joseph in asopipa Benjamin chu aven “Amahi ham na sopiu alhum pen pa na tiu chu tin Joseph in adong tai,” Pathen in na umpi jingta hen O ka chapa!” ati.
30 And Joseph made haste; for his heart yearned toward his brother; and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
Hichun Joseph ama umna insung dena kon in apot doh in, ajeh chu asopipa amu chun ama akitim joutapon, hichun ama indan sungnunga alutin agakaptan ahi.
31 And he washed his face, and came out; and he refrained himself, and said: 'Set on bread.'
Chuin amai akiphet jouvin ama ahung potdoh kit in nasatah in akitim ham ham in, “An neh ding hin thuh taovin,” ati.
32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, that did eat with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Hijeh chun amahon Joseph ding atum in, amaho ding atumin, chule ama toh nekhom ding Egypt mite ding atumin ankong asem tauve, ijeh inem itile Egypt miten Hebrew mite toh an aneh khom ngailouvu, neh khom ding chu Egypt mite dinga bohna khat hiya ahiye.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one with another.
Joseph in asopiho chu atouna din akoi peh cheh in, ama hon jong ajalheh jeng un, amaho tahsa kum alen penna pat aneopen pa gei in atou nao agontup peh in atou sah tan ahi.
34 And portions were taken unto them from before him; but Benjamin's portion was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Amoho chan ding chu Joseph chan lah akon in asoh doh uvin ahi; chujong le Benjamin chan chu amaho khat chan jat sangin chan ajat ngan atam joi. Hitobang chun ama hon Joseph chutoh an ane khom uvin adon khom tauvin ahi.
