Genesis 43
1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
Ram thung takang hoe a pataw poung.
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.”
Izip hoi cakang a thokhai awh e a baw toteh, a na pa ni, bout cet awh nateh mamouh hanelah cakang youn touh bang bout ran awh telah 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;
Hatei, Judah ni ahni koe hote tami ni, na nawngha, nangmouh koe tho van hoehpawiteh, kai minhmai na hmawt awh mahoeh toe telah kamcengcalah kâhruetcuet na poe awh toe.
4 if you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
Nawnghaca hah kaimouh koe na cetsak pawiteh, cakang teh na ran pouh awh han.
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.”
Hatei na tha hoehpawiteh, ka cet awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni kaimouh koe nangmouh koe na nawnghaca tho van hoehpawiteh, ka minhmai na hmawt mahoeh na ti pouh awh telah ati.
6 And Israel says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you had yet a brother?”
Isarel ni, bangkongmaw nawngha alouk tawnnae kong patetnaw hah kuekluek na dei awh teh, kai hanelah hnokahawi hoeh poung na sak awh telah 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?”
Hatei, ahni ni hote tami ni na pa a hring rah maw, hmaunawngha alouke na tawn awh maw telah kaimae kong hoi imthungkhu kong na pacei awh dawk doeh. Hottelah lawk na pacei e patetlah ka pathung awh e doeh. Na nawnghaca thokhai awh ati hane hah apinimaw sut a panue thai han vaw telah ati awh.
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 ni a na pa Isarel koevah, kaimouh hoi nang, nawnghaca hoi dout laipalah hring thai awh nahanlah, nawnghaca teh kaimouh koe kâbang sak nateh, ka cei awh han toe.
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;
Ahni kong dawk kai ni kamngai vaiteh kai koe aphu teh na la han, ahni hah nang koe thokhai laipalah na hmalah kangdout sak hoehpawiteh, yonpennae pou ka phu han toe.
10 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kânawngkâai awh hanh lei sei, apâhni e patenghai yo tho hane boum hei telah ati.
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;
A na pa Isarel ni ahni koe, hattelah pawiteh, hettelah sak awh. Hete ram dawk e hnokahawinaw thingtapi, khoitui, hmuitui, murah, câbuk paw a rakawk katha e, hoi almond pawnaw youn touh phawt awh.
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.
Nangmae cawngko dawk tangka a pâban e hah bout sin awh, a payon awh e paka han doeh.
13 And take your brother, and rise, return to the man;
Hahoi na nawnghaca hai hrawi awh nateh ahni koe thaw awh nateh bout cet awh leih.
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.”
Hote tami ni Benjamin na tha pouh nahanelah, Athakasaipounge Cathut ni na pahren awh naseh. Ka canaw teh ka sung pawiteh sung yawkaw toung vai khe, telah 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;
Hottelah ahnimouh ni poehno hoi Benjamin hah a ceikhai awh teh, tangka hai let hni hoi a kâken awh. Hahoi a thaw awh teh Izip ram lah a cei awh teh Joseph hmalah bout a kangdue awh.
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.”
Joseph ni ahnimouh koe kaawm e Benjamin a hmu tahma vah, imkaringkung hah a kaw teh ahnimanaw hah imthung kâenkhai nateh saring thet nateh coungkacoe rakueng haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh kanîthun bu kai koe a ca awh han telah ati.
17 And the man does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
Joseph ni kâ a poe e patetlah ahnimouh ni a tawk awh teh, ahni ni ahnimanaw hah imthung a kâenkhai awh.
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 ni imthung kâenkhaie lah ao dawkvah, ahnimouh teh a lungpuen awh teh, ahnimouh ni, ahmaloe e kaimae cawngko dawk tangka a pâban dawkvah na kâenkhai e han doeh, maimouh hoi lanaw hoi san lah na man thai nahanelah toe hanlah a kâcai e han doeh, ati awh.
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,
Joseph e imkaringkung koe vah a hnai awh teh takhang koe a pato awh.
20 and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
Oe, Bawipa, ahmaloe ka tho awh navah, cakang ran hanelah dueng doeh ka tho awh.
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;
Hahoi hettelah ao, roenae rim koe ka pha awh navah, cawngko ka paawng awh boteh kamamae tangka lengkaleng ka kuepcalah ao. Hatdawkvah bout ka thokhai awh.
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.”
Cakang ran nahane tangka alouke hai ka sin awh. Kaimae tangka heh apinimaw cawngko dawk a hruek tie ka panuek awh hoeh, telah ati.
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.
Hatei ahni ni nangmouh koe roumnae awm seh, taket hanh awh. Nangmae cawngko dawk nangmae Cathut hoi na pa e Cathut ni râw na poe awh e doeh, nangmae tangka hah ka hmu doeh, telah ati. Hahoi Simeon hah ahnimouh koe a thokhai awh.
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,
Hottelah ahni ni ahnimouh hah Joseph imthung a kâenkhai teh tui a poe teh, a khok a kâpasu awh teh, lanaw hah rawca a poe awh.
25 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
Hahoi aphu awh e poehno hah Joseph bu a ca hanelah a tho hoehnahlan coungkacoe ao awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawvah, bu ca han tie hah a panue awh.
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;
Joseph takhang koe a pha toteh a kut dawk kaawm e poehnonaw hah ahni koe a kâenkhai awh teh a hmalah talai khet laihoi a tabut awh.
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?”
Ahni ni kamthang a pacei, na dei awh e na pa matawng teh a hring rah maw. A tak a dam maw telah ati.
28 And they say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
Ahnimouh ni apa na san teh a hring doeh rah, a tak hai a dam rah, atipouh awh. Hahoi a mahmawk a lû a saling awh teh a tabut awh.
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.”
Ahni ni a khet teh, a nawngha Benjamin a manu e capa hah a hmu, ahni heh na nawnghaca akong na dei awh e hah maw, telah ati. Hahoi ahni ni ka capa, Cathut ni na pahren naseh, telah 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;
Joseph ni a nawngha a hmu toteh, a lungmathoe teh karangpounglah ka nahane hmuen a tawng. Imrakhan thung a kâen teh hawvah a ka.
31 and he washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place bread.”
A minhmai a pâhla teh bout a tâco teh puenghoi a kâsum. Rawca rakueng awh telah 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.
Hottelah ahni hanlah aloukcalah, ahnimouh hanlah aloukcalah, a coun e Izipnaw hanlah aloukcalah, bangkongtetpawiteh, Izipnaw ni Hebrunaw hoi bu rei cat khai boihoeh, hothateh Izipnaw hanlah panuettho e lah ao.
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;
Hottelah capa kacue teh camin lah ao e hoi kanaw teh cahnoung lah ao e patetlah Joseph hmalah a tahung awh teh, kângai lah a ru awh.
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.
Joseph ni ahnimouh ham hah amamouh koe a poe sak teh, Benjamin e ham teh ahnimae ham hlak let panga touh hoi apap. Hottelah a nei awh teh, ahni koe hroung a nawm awh.
