< Genesis 37 >

1 So Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojournings of his father, —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, when seventeen years old, was shepherding with his brethren among the flocks, and, he, being a youth, was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah wives of his father, —so then Joseph brought in the talk about them—something bad, unto 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 any of his sons, because he was to him, the son of his old age, and he had made him, a long tunic.
4 So his brethren saw that their father loved him, more than any of his brethren, and they hated him, and could not bid him prosper,
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 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they went on yet more to hate him.
Joseph in nikhat mang anei in amang chu asopiho asei pehle amahon avetda cheh un ahi.
6 And he said unto them, Hear ye I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Aman aseiye, “Ngaijun ka mang ho kasei ding ahi ati.
7 Lo! then, we, were binding sheaves in the midst of the field, when lo my sheaf rose up, yea and took its stand, —and lo! round about came your sheaves, and bowed themselves 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 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou, reign, over us, shalt thou, have dominion over us? So they went on yet more to hate him, because of his dreams and because of his words.
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 Then dreamed he, yet another, dream, and related it to his brethren, and said: —Lo! I have dreamed a dream, yet again, Lo! then, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, were bowing themselves 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 So he related it unto his father, and unto his brethren, —and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? Shall we, indeed come in, I, and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow ourselves down to thee to the earth?
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 Then were his brethren jealous of him, but his father, marked the word.
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 brethren went their way, —to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Phat chomkhat jou chun Joseph sopiho chu Schechem lama apa kelngoi ching ding in achekit tauvin ahi.
13 So Israel said unto Joseph Are not, thy brethren, feeding the flock in Shechem? Come on! and let me send thee unto them. And he said to him Behold me!
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, I pray thee, look after the welfare of thy brethren, and the welfare of the flock, and bring me back word. And he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came in towards 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 lo! he was wandering about in the field, so the man asked him saying—What seekest thou?
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 And he said, My brethren, am, I, seeking, —do tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flock.
Joseph in adonbut in, “Ka sopite ho kahol ahi atin, hoi langa gancha ho achin uham neisei peh thei ding ham,” ati.
17 And the man said, They have broken up from hence, for I heard them saying Let us go our way towards Dothan. So Joseph went after his brethren, and found them, in Dothan.
Mipa chun adonbut in, “Amaho kihou limna kajan eiho Dothan lama chetau hite,” aki tiuve.
18 And they saw him afar off, —and, ere yet he drew near unto them, they conspired against him, to put him to death.
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 each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in!
“Tuhin mang neipa ahung tai,” amahon atiuve.
20 Now, therefore, come! let us slay him and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say A cruel beast, hath devoured him, —And let us 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 And Reuben heard it, and rescued him out of their hand, and said Let us not smite him, so as to 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 And Reuben said unto them Do not shed blood! Cast him into this pit, which is in the wilderness, but put not forth, a hand, against him! that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him unto 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 So it came to pass, when Joseph had come in unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his tunic, the long tunic which was upon him,
Hichun Joseph ahung lhun chun asopite hon a sangkhol chol hoitah chu asut lhah peh pai tauvin ahi.
24 and took him, and cast him into the pit, but the pit, was empty, there was in it no water.
Hichun amahon Joseph chu adah a aman uvin kotong sunga aseplut tauvin, hiche kotong chu imacha umlou twi jong veilou ahi.
25 And when they had sat down to eat bread, they lifted up their eyes and looked, and lo! a caravan of Ishmaelites, coming in from Gilead, —and, their camels, were bearing tragacanth gum, and balsam and cistus-gum, they were going their way, to take 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 So Judah said unto his brethren, —What profit that we slay 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 us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not, our own hand, be upon him, for our own brother, our own flesh, is he And his brethren hearkened.
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 And there passed by certain Midianites travelling merchants, so they drew forth and uplifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites, for twenty pieces of silver, —and they brought Joseph into 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 unto the pit, and lo Joseph was not in the pit, so he rent 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 and returned unto his brethren, and said, —The, lad, is not! And, I, oh where can I, go?
Hichun Reuben asopiho lah'a akinungle kit in lungkham tah in, “Joseph chu aum tapoi! tua hi keiman ipi kabol ding hitam,” ati.
31 And they took Joseph’s tunic, —and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood;
Hichun Joseph sopihon kelnou khat athat uvin, athisan chu Joseph sangkhol a chun anu tauve.
32 and sent the long tunic and brought it in unto their father, and said This, have we found! Examine, we pray thee, whether it is the tunic of thy son, 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 So he examined it, and said—The tunic of my son! A cruel beast hath devoured him, —torn in pieces—torn in pieces, is Joseph!
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 And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, —and mourned over 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 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to console him but he refused to be consoled, and said—Surely I will go down unto my son mourning to hades! 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 courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners.
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.
