Genesis 37
1 And Jacob lived in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.
Jakop teh a na pa imyin lah a onae Kanaan ram dawk kho a sak.
2 And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.
Hethateh Jakop catoun e lairui doeh. Joseph teh a kum 17 touh a pha nah a hmaunaw hoi saringnaw a khoum awh. Ahni teh a camo rah dawkvah, a na pa e yu Bilhah hoi Zilpah capanaw koevah ao, hahoi Joseph ni hnokahawi hoeh a sak awh e kamthang kathout hah a na pa koe ouk a dei pouh.
3 And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colors.
Isarel ni Joseph teh a matawng nah a khe e lah ao dawkvah, a canaw pueng hlak a lungpataw hnawn, angkidung a phun aloukcalah a khui pouh teh a poe.
4 And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceful to him.
A na pa ni a hmaunaw hlak a lungpataw hnawn tie hah a panue awh. Hottelah hoi ahni teh, hmawt ngai awh hoeh. Lawk kahawi hoi hai pato ngai awh hoeh.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and reported it to his brethren.
Joseph ni mang a sak teh a hmaunaw koe a dei pouh dawkvah, hoe hmawt ngai awh hoeh.
6 And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.
Ahni ni ahnimanaw koe pahren lahoi mang ka sak e hah thai awh haw.
7 I thought you were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.
Law vah cabong hah a thaw awh teh kaie cabong hai a thaw teh a kangdue. Hahoi thai awh haw, nangmae cabongnaw ni a kalup awh teh, kaie cabong hah a bawk awh, telah ati.
8 And his brethren said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us, or shall you indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
A hmaunaw ni ahni koevah, nang ni kaimouh na uk katang han na maw. Nang heh kaimae lathueng vah kâ na tawn han na maw, telah atipouh awh. Hottelah hoi a mang hoi a dei e lawk kecu dawkvah, hoe a hmuhma awh.
9 And he dreamed another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.
Hahoi mang alouke e bout a sak teh, a hmaunaw koevah bout a dei pouh. Thai awh haw, mang bout ka tawn. Kanî hoi thapa hoi âsinaw 12 touh ka hmalah be a tabut awh telah ati.
10 And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which you have dreamed? shall indeed both I and your mother and your brethren come and bow before you to the earth?
A na pa hoi a hmaunaw koe a dei pouh navah, a na pa ni a yue teh, mang na sak e teh bangpatete mang han na maw. Kai hoi na manu hoi na hmaunaw ni na hmalah ka tabut han na maw telah ati.
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
A hmaunaw ni ahni teh a ut awh. Hateiteh, a na pa ni hno kaawm e hah a lung dawk a pâkuem.
12 And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.
A hmaunaw teh Shekhem vah a na pa e saring khoum hanelah a cei awh.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send you to them; and he said to him, Behold, I [am here].
Isarel ni Joseph koevah na hmaunaw ni Shekhem doeh saring a khoum awh khe, tho haw, ahnimouh koe na patoun han telah ati. Ahni ni na patoun yawkaw telah ati.
14 And Israel said to him, Go and see if your brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.
A na pa ni ahnimouh koe cet nateh na hmaunaw hah a dam awh maw, saringnaw a dam maw, panue hanelah kamthaw haw, haw e kamthang kai koe bout na dei pouh han telah ati. Hottelah hoi Hebron tanghling koehoi a patoun teh Shekhem vah a pha.
15 And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
Law dawk voutsout a kâhlai e hah tami buet touh ni a hmu teh ahni ni, bangmaw na tawng telah a pacei.
16 And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed [their flocks].
Ahni ni, ka hmaunaw doeh ka tawng pahren lahoi saringhu a khoumnae na dei pouh haw telah ati.
17 And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.
Ahni ni hote hmuen koehoi yo a cei awh toe. Dothan vah cet sei ati awh e hah ka thai, telah ati. Hottelah hoi Joseph ni a hmaunaw teh a pâlei teh Dothan vah a hmaunaw a hmu.
18 And they spied him from a distance before he drew near to them, and they wickedly took counsel to kill him.
Ahnimouh ni ahlapoungnae koehoi a hmu awh teh, ahni koe a pha hoehnahlan vah, ahni thei nahane lah a kâdei awh toe.
19 And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.
Thai awh haw, mang ka sak e tami a tho toe.
20 Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.
Tho awh thei awh vaiteh, moimatheng ni a kei telah tet pouh awh sei. Hahoi a mangnaw teh bangne tie hah panue awh han telah buet touh hoi buet touh lengkaleng a kâti awh.
21 And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.
Hateiteh, Reuben ni a thai teh ahnimae kut dawk hoi a rungngang teh, thet lah thet awh hanh sei, telah ati.
22 And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay [your] hands upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.
Hateiteh, Reuben ni a kut thung hoi a rungngang teh a na pa koe a bankhai thai nahan, thet awh hanh, kahrawng e tangkom thung pabawt awh nateh na kut teh tha awh hanh telah ati.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.
Joseph ni a hmaunaw koe a pha toteh, angkidung em kaawm e hah a rading pouh awh.
24 And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.
A ceikhai awh teh tangkom dawk a pabo awh. Tangkom dawk tui awm hoeh.
25 And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they saw, and behold, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.
Hottelah rawca ca hanelah, a tahung awh. Hahoi a radoung awh teh, Ishmael kahlawng ka cet e Gilead ram lahoi amamae kalauk hoi hmuitui hoi, thing tapi, murah phu e hoi Izip ram lah cei hanelah kamthawnaw hah a tho awh.
26 And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
Judah ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe maimae nawngha thei awh teh, a thipalawng e paphat awh pawiteh, bangmaw cungkeinae kaawm han.
27 Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren listened.
Tho awh, a lathueng kut tha laipalah Ishmaelnaw koe yawt awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh nawngha maimae misa hoi kâkuen e doeh, telah ati teh, a hmaunawnghanaw ni a hnâ rip a bo khai awh.
28 And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.
Hottelah hoi Midian hno kayawtnaw teh a tho awh teh, Joseph teh tangkom dawk hoi a rasa awh teh, Ishmaelnaw koe tangka 20 touh lah a yo awh. Hahoi Joseph teh Izip ram lah a ceikhai awh.
29 And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he tore his garments.
Hottelah hoi Reuben teh tangkom koe a tho teh, khenhaw! Joseph teh tangkom thung la awm hoeh toe, hat toteh a khohna hah a ravei.
30 And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?
Hahoi a hmaunawnghanaw koe a cei teh, camo awm hoeh toe. Kai teh na lane ka cei han toung telah ati.
31 And having taken the coat of Joseph, they killed a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.
Joseph e angkidung hah a la awh teh hmaetan a thei awh teh a thi dawk a ranup awh.
32 And they sent the coat of many colors; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be your son's coat or no. And he recognized it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.
Em la e angkidung hah a patawn awh teh, a na pa koe a poe awh. Hethateh ka hmu awh e doeh. Na capa e angkidung na ou, khenhaw! hottelah ati awh.
A na pa ni a nout teh, ka capa e angkidung doeh. Moimatheng buetbuet touh ni a kei toung hah tayaw. Joseph hah vekrasen lah a hruek toe telah ati.
34 And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Hottelah hoi Jakop teh a khohna a ravei teh, buri a kâkhu laihoi a hnin moikasaw lah a capa hah a khui.
35 And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
A capanaw pueng hoi a canunaw pueng hah ahni a lungpahawi hanelah a thaw awh, hateiteh, a na pa ni a lungpahawinae ngai pouh hoeh. Khui nalaihoi phuen koe ka capa koevah ka cei han toe telah ati. Hottelah hoi a na pa teh ahni a pouk lawi a khui a ka. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.
Midiannaw ni Joseph teh Izip ram dawk a kâenkhai awh teh, Faro kut rahim e imkaringkung Potiphar koevah a yo awh.
