Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
Jakob loe ampa angvin ah ohhaih, Kanaan prae ah khosak.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and he was as a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil reports of them unto his father.
Jakob anghumhaih kawng loe hae tiah oh; Joseph loe amyanawk hoi nawnto tuu toep naah, saning hatlai sarihto oh boeh; thendoeng loe Jakob ih zu, Billah hoi Zilpah ih caanawk hoi nawnto ah oh, nihcae sethaih kawng to anih mah ampa khaeah thuih pae.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colors.
Israel loe mitong lam ah capa Joseph to sak pongah, anih to kalah amyanawk pongah palung kue; to pongah anih hanah rong congca kaom laihaw to a sak pae.
4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Ampa loe kalah nawkamyanawk pongah Joseph to palung kue, tiah amyanawk mah panoek o naah, anih to hnukma o moe, lunghoih ta hoiah lok tapring o vai ai.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
Joseph mah amang to sak, anih mah to amang to amyanawk khaeah thuih pae, to naah nihcae mah anih to hnukma o aep.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Amyanawk khaeah, Ka mang hae tahngai oh;
7 And, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also remained standing upright; and, behold, your sheaves placed themselves round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
khenah, Aicae loe lawk ah cangqui taoengh o, to naah kai ih cangqui loe angthawk moe, angdoet tahang; toe nangcae ih cangqui loe kangkui ah angdoet o moe, kai ih cangqui to bok o, tiah a naa.
8 And his brothers said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Amyanawk mah anih khaeah, Kaicae ukkung ah oh han na poek maw? To tiah kaicae nang uk thai tang tih maw? tiah a naa o. A hnuk ih amang hoi a thuih ih lok pongah, nihcae mah anih to hnukma o aep.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers; and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
To pacoengah anih mah amang to sak let, to amang to amyanawk khaeah a thuih pae let; Tahngai oh, kalah amang ka sak let bae vop; khenah, ka mangah, ni, khrah hoi cakaeh hatlaito mah kai to bok o, tiah a naa.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother, and thy brothers, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth.
Ampa hoi amyanawk khaeah a thuih pae naah, ampa mah anih khaeah, Tikhoe to baktih amang to na sak khruek loe? tiah a thuitaek. Na hmaa ah ka kuep o hanah, kai, nam no hoi nam nawk amyanawk, nang khaeah kang zoh o tih maw? tiah a naa.
11 And his brothers envied him; but his father noted the matter [in his mind].
Amyanawk mah anih to ut o; toe ampa mah loe a thuih ih lok to palung thungah pakuem poe.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flocks in Shechem.
Amyanawk loe Shekem vangpui ah ampa ih tuu rawkcak pacah hanah caeh o.
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brothers feed [the flocks] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
To naah Israel mah Joseph khaeah, Nam yanawk loe Shekem vangpui ah tuu rawkcak pacah o; angzo ah, nihcae khaeah kang patoeh han, tiah a naa. Anih mah, Haeah ka oh, tiah a naa.
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
To pongah anih khaeah, Caeh ah loe, nam yanawk hoi tuunawk ngantui o vai, khen noek ah, to pacoengah tamthang na thui let ah, tiah a naa. Hebron azawn hoiah Joseph to patoeh pongah, Shekem ah a caeh.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering astray in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
Anih taw ah amhet khing naah, lawk caeh kami maeto mah anih to hnuk, Timaw na pakrong loe? tiah a naa.
16 And he said, I seek my brothers; tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flocks?
Anih mah, Kam yanawk to ka pakrong, naa ah maw tuu a toep o, na thui ah, tiah a naa.
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
To kami mah, Nihcae loe hae ahmuen hoiah kalah ahmuen bangah caeh o ving boeh; Dothan ah caeh o si, tiah thuih o ih lok to ka thaih, tiah a naa. To pongah Joseph loe amyanawk khaeah caeh, nihcae to Dothan ah a hnuk.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Anih to kangthla hoiah a hnuk o, nihcae khae pha ai naah, anih hum hanah pacaeng o.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, here comes this man of dreams.
Nihcae mah, Amang sah kami to angzoh boeh, tiah maeto hoi maeto lok ang thuih o.
20 And now, come and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Angzo oh, anih to hum o si, tangqom khaw maeto thungah va si loe, anih loe moisan mah kaek boeh, tiah thui si. To naah anih ih amang kawbang maw oh, tito khen o si, tiah a thuih o.
21 And when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hand; and he said, Let us not put him to death.
Reuben mah to lok to thaih naah, anih to hum o hmah si, tiah a naa moe, Joseph to nihcae ban thung hoiah a lak ving.
22 And Reuben said unto them, Do not shed blood; but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hand upon him; —in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back again to his father.
Reuben mah nihcae khaeah athii palong o hmah; toe anih to hae praezaek ih tuikhaw thungah mah va o sut ah, a nuiah ban phok o hmah, tiah a naa. Reuben mah, nihcae ban thung hoiah ka pahlong moe, kam pa khaeah ka caeh haih let han, tiah a poek.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brothers, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
Joseph amyanawk khae phak naah, anih mah angkhuk ih rong congca kaom laihaw to a khringh pae o;
24 And they took him, and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
anih to naeh o moe, tuikhaw thungah vah o; tuikhaw loe tui kaang boeh moe, tui om ai boeh.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead; and their camels were bearing spicery, and balm, and lotus, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Nihcae loe buhcaak han anghnut o; a danh o tahang moe, a khet o naah, Gilead prae hoiah angzo, kaengkuu hrang pongah hmuihoih hmuen, hmuihoih thing tangpri hoi myrrhnawk kaphaw, Izip prae ah kacaeh Ishmael kaminawk to a hnuk o.
26 And Judah said unto his brothers, What profit will it be if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Judah mah amyanawk khaeah, Aimacae ih amnawk to a hum o moe, anih ih athii hawk o khing cadoeh aicae han timaw atho oh?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let our hand not be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
Angzo oh, anih to Ishmael kaminawk khaeah mah zaw si, anih nuiah ban phok o hmah si; anih loe aimacae ih amnawk hoi acaeng ah ni oh, tiah a naa. Anih ih lok to amyanawk mah paroi pae o.
28 And when the Midianitish men, merchants, passed by, they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
To naah hmuenzaw Midian kaminawk to angzoh o; amnawk Joseph to tuikhaw thung hoiah a zuh o let moe, anih to Ishmael kaminawk khaeah phoisa shekel pumphaeto hoiah a zawh o; nihcae mah Joseph to Izip prae ah caeh o haih.
29 And when Reuben returned unto the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes.
Reuben loe amlaem let moe, tuikhaw to khet naah Joseph loe om ai boeh; to pongah angmah ih laihaw to asih.
30 And he returned unto his brothers, and said, The child is not there; and I, whither shall I go?
Amnawknawk khaeah amlaem moe, nawkta loe om ai boeh; kai loe naa ah maw ka caeh han boeh? tiah a naa.
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
To naah Joseph ih laihaw to lak o moe, maeh caa maeto a boh o pacoengah, maeh thii thungah laihaw to a nup o;
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: acknowledge, we pray thee, whether it be thy son's coat or not.
rong congca kaom laihaw to ampa khaeah a sin pae o moe, hae ni ka hnuk o boeh; na caa ih laihaw maw, laihaw ai tito kahoih ah khenah, tiah a naa o.
33 And he recognized it, and said, it is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is surely torn in pieces.
Anih mah maat moe, Hae loe ka caa ih laihaw boeh ni! Anih loe moisan mah ni kaek boeh; Joseph loe moisan mah taprawt pet pet boeh hae loe, tiah a thuih.
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
To naah Jokob loe angmah ih khukbuen to angkhring moe, kazii to kaengah angzaeng pacoengah, a capa to ni paroeai thung qah haih.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I must go down unto my son, mourning, into the grave; thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
A capanawk hoi a canunawk boih anih pathloep hanah angzoh o; toe pathloep o thai ai; palungset loiah ka capa caehhaih taprong thungah ka caeh han boeh, tiah a thuih. To tiah a capa pongah ampa to qah. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guards.
Midian kaminawk mah Joseph to, Izip prae ih misatuh angraeng, Faro ih toksahkung angraeng maeto ah kaom, Potiphar khaeah zawh o.
