< Genesis 43 >

1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
Tuhin Canaan gamsunga kel lhah chu akhoh cheh cheh jeng in ahi.
2 and it comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for 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 speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] 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 you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
Benjamin keiho toh na sol khom le kache dingu anchang kaga choh dingu ahi ati.
5 and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] 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 says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you 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 say, “The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our family, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have you a brother? And we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?”
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 says to his father Israel, “Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and you, and our infants.
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 am guarantor [for] him, from my hand you require him; if I have not brought him to you, and set him before you—then I have sinned against you all the days;
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 if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
Amavang eiho ana geisang hih leu hen tuphat a hi nivei tobang kilhung thei ding ahitai.”
11 And their father Israel says to them, “If so, now, do this: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, 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 double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, you take back in your hand, it may be it [is] 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 And take your brother, and rise, return to the man;
Hijeh chun nasopi pao hi pui jun lang gamsung lamkai heng a nung che tauvin.
14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he has sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—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 take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand 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 Joseph sees Benjamin with them and says to him who [is] over his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for the men eat 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 does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
Hichun lhacha hon Joseph in asei bang chun abol'un, amaho sese chu Joseph inlam a apuitau vin ahi.
18 and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, “For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in—to roll himself on us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants—our donkeys also.”
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 come near to the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak to him at the opening of the house,
Judah le asopihon Joseph insunga lhacha lamkai pa koma ache un akelkot koma hitin asei uve.
20 and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement 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 comes to pass, when we have come to the lodging-place, and open our bags, that behold, each one’s money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring 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 have not known who put our money in our bags.”
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 says, “Peace to you, do not fear: your God and the God of your father has given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came to me”; and he brings out Simeon to 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 brings in the men into Joseph’s house, and gives water, and they wash their feet; and he gives provender for their donkeys,
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 prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
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 Joseph comes into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves 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 asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, 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 say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
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 lifts up his eyes and sees his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and says, “Is this your young brother, of whom you have spoken to me?” And he says, “God favor you, 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 hurries, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeks to weep, and enters the inner chamber, and weeps 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 washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place 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 place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to 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 sit before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at 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 he lifts up gifts from before him to them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, indeed, they drink abundantly 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.
