Genesis 37
1 Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
Hichun Jacob Canaan chu apa khopem na Canaan gamsunga anung chen kit tai.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
Hiche thusim hohi Jacob insung mite a ahi, Joseph kum som le sagi alhinin apa kelngoi ho asopi ho toh aching tup jingin avahva jingun, asopi ho apa jithah chate ho Bilhah le Zilpah chate ho toh natong khom jing ahiuve. Ahin nikhat chu Joseph in asopiho umchan phatlou dan apa kom ahin lhut tan ahi.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
Amavang asopite hon Joseph chu avetda cheh un ahi, Ajeh chu apan midang ho sanga Joseph angailut najeh in amahon Joseph henga ngailut thucheng thupha seiding hahsa asa lheh un ahi.
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
Joseph in nikhat mang anei in amang chu asopiho asei pehle amahon avetda cheh un ahi.
6 He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
Aman aseiye, “Ngaijun ka mang ho kasei ding ahi ati.
7 And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
Ehon phailei lama chang phel ikan khom un, hiche tah chun hetman louvin keima changphal ho chu ading doh in, nangho changphal ho chu keima changphal masanga abohkhup uve,” ati.
8 Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
Hichun asopi hon adonbut un, “Amapa chun keiho chunga vaihom ding kigong nahim? Ahiloule keiho chunga thanei ding kigo mong nahim,” atiuve. Hichun amahon amang neitoh athusei doh ho jeh in hatah in avetdau vin ahi.
9 And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
Joseph in mang khat aneibe kit in chuin asopi ho chu asei peh kit in aman aseiye, “Ngaijun mang khat ka neibe kitne ati, tun nisa, lha, chule ahsi som le khat ho jong keima masanga abohkhup cheh uve,” ati.
10 When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
Tua mang aneipa hi Joseph in apa chule asopite ho jouse jong abonchan aseipeh soh keiyin ahi. Ahin apa in aphoh thip'in,” hiche mang chu ipi tina ham tin adonbut e, “nanu toh kei chule nasopi teho jouse atahbeh a kahung uva nang masanga ka hung boh khup dingu ham?”
11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
Ama vang Joseph sopiho chu alung ahang lheh un athangthip thei lheh un, apa vang chun hiche mang chu ipi tina ham ahet thei lou jeh in alung adong lheh in ahi.
12 Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
Phat chomkhat jou chun Joseph sopiho chu Schechem lama apa kelngoi ching ding in achekit tauvin ahi.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
Amaho chedoh jou phat chomkhat jouvin, Jacob in Joseph koma aseiye, “Nasopite ho Schechem lam a kelngoi hon ho aga vah un ahin, nangma naga che lou khoh ahi atin, Joseph in adonbut in, “keima kaga che ding ahi,” ati.
14 So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Jacob in adon but in, “Nangma gache inlang na sopite ho chule kelngoi ho iti hina uvem gaven ati. Amaho thusoh kajah nom kitne, Hebron phaicham apat in asol tan, hichun Joseph hiche Schechem chu ahung lhung tan ahi.
15 And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
Ahin vetan gamlah a lampi akimansah a ava koile na a mi khat in atoh khan mipa chun adongin “Ipi ham nahol le?” atile.
16 He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
Joseph in adonbut in, “Ka sopite ho kahol ahi atin, hoi langa gancha ho achin uham neisei peh thei ding ham,” ati.
17 The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Mipa chun adonbut in, “Amaho kihou limna kajan eiho Dothan lama chetau hite,” aki tiuve.
18 Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
Joseph ahung chun asopihon gam la thimtah ahivang in ahe pai tauvin, ama ahung lhun masang in asopite hon Joseph thadoh nading tohgon anei tauvin ahi.
19 And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
“Tuhin mang neipa ahung tai,” amahon atiuve.
20 Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
Hung un amahi that doh taute, chule hiche kotong ho sung khat a pai mang taute. Ipa'u koma hitin seiyu hite, “Gancha khat in Joseph chu a nedoh tai, chule eihon veu hite ama amang ho chu hunggui lhung nam,” atiuve.
21 But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
Ahin Reuben in amaho tohgon lung thim ho chu ahet phat in Joseph kitho pi ding in ahungin, “Aman asei tai Joseph hi tha datau hite,” ati.
22 Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
Ibola thisan imoh lonsah ding'u ham? hilai kotong gamgo lah a seplut leuhen ama cham in eihon that hih jong leu hen ama thi ta lou ding ham. Reuben chu a lungthima Joseph chu huhdoh tei ding tichu ama dei ahi.
23 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
Hichun Joseph ahung lhun chun asopite hon a sangkhol chol hoitah chu asut lhah peh pai tauvin ahi.
24 And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
Hichun amahon Joseph chu adah a aman uvin kotong sunga aseplut tauvin, hiche kotong chu imacha umlou twi jong veilou ahi.
25 Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
Chule amaho sun an ne dinga aumlai tah'un, aga dadoh uva ahile vetan Gilead a kona hung sumkol veile Ishmael miho a sangan ho toh hung kilhona bego le thingthao namtwi toh chule lou namtwi hinpoa Egypt gam lang jonsuh ding amu uvin ahi.
26 Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Hichun Judah in a sopiho jah a aseiyin, “I sopipau itha doh uva ipi apha chom ding umham,” ati, chule athi san isel mang uva chu ipi phachom ding ham?
27 Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
Hung uvin Joseph hi Ishmael te koma joh doh tauhite, isopi nah nah iphe ivou nah nah chu a chunga jong ikhut lhapou hite,” atile asopiten jong asei angai cheh tauve.
28 So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
Hiti chun Egypt gam'a kivei miho chun apui tauvin Joseph chu asopihon kotong a kon in a kaidoh un, Ishmael miho Midianite miho koma dangka somni in akijoh doh tauve.
29 And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
Phat chomkhat jouvin, Reuben chu kokhuh langa chun achekit'in ahile Joseph chu kokhuh sunga ana umtapoi, hichun Reuben chu alung akham lheh jengtan asang khol ho chu abottel in ahi.
30 He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
Hichun Reuben asopiho lah'a akinungle kit in lungkham tah in, “Joseph chu aum tapoi! tua hi keiman ipi kabol ding hitam,” ati.
31 They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
Hichun Joseph sopihon kelnou khat athat uvin, athisan chu Joseph sangkhol a chun anu tauve.
32 And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
Amahon hichu sangkhol thisan anu u-chu apau Jacob athot un, mihon jong apau henga achoi uvin, “Hiche pihi ka mudoh uve, vetem in na chapa sangkhol chol hiya ham hilou ham,” atiuve.
33 And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
Jacob'in gangtah in ahedoh pai in, hitin asei tai, “Hiche hi kachapa sangkhol ahi monge gamsa khat in vang anehdoh ahitai ati, Joseph vang hi aphe avou lahthei hita ponte,” ati.
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
Hichun Jacob'in apon ho chu abot tel in khaodip pon akikhu khum tan, Ama ni sottah lung hemin genthei tah in achapa pul adoutan ahi.
35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
Jacob chate jouse le achanute jousen lhepbi ding agong un, ahin amavang lhepbi jou ahitapoi, hitin amapan aseiye, “Keima lunghem pum in kachapa lhankhuh jon tang kate, tin Jacob chu akap e.” (Sheol h7585)
36 Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
Phat chomkhat jouchun Midian miho chun Joseph chu Potiphar kitipa Pharaoh Egypt lengpa koma semang pachong pa koma ajoh doh tauve. Potiphar natoh chu ahile sepai lah a semang pachong ahi.
