< Genesis 37 >

1 And he dwelt Jacob in [the] land of [the] sojournings of father his in [the] land of Canaan.
Jakob ngawn tah a napa kah lampahnah khohmuen Kanaan kho ah kho a sak.
2 These - [are] [the] accounts of Jacob Joseph [was] a son of seven-teen year[s] he was shepherding with brothers his the flock and he [was] a youth with [the] sons of Bilhah and with [the] sons of Zilpah [the] wives of father his and he brought Joseph report their bad to father their.
Jakob kah a rhuirhong he tah, Joseph kum hlai rhih a lo ca vaengah a maya rhoek taengah boiva a luem puei. Te vaengah anih te a napa yuu Bilhah ca rhoek nen khaw, Zilpah ca rhoek nen khaw cadong hmaih van. Tedae Joseph loh amih kah theetnah te a napa taengah a thae la a puen pah.
3 And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.
Tedae Joseph te tah a patong soi kah a ca van oeh dongah a ca rhoek boeih lakah anih te Israel loh a lungnah tih pendum angkidung khaw a saii pah.
4 And they saw brothers his that him he loved father their more than all brothers his and they hated him and not they were able to speak to him to welfare.
Tedae a maya rhoek boeih lakah a napa loh anih a lungnah te a maya rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah amah a hmuhuet uh. Te dongah anih rhoepnah neh voek ham khaw coeng uh pawh.
5 And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.
Te vaengah Joseph loh mang a man tih a maya rhoek taengla a puen hatah a maya rhoek kah a hmuhuet uh te koep a khoep.
6 And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have dreamed.
Te vaengah a maya rhoek la, “Hnatun uh laeh, he tlam he mang ka man.
7 And there! we [were] binding sheaves in [the] middle of the field and there! it arose sheaf my and also it stood upright and there! they gathered round sheaves your and they bowed down to sheaf my.
Lohma li kah cangpa te mamih loh n'tum uh hatah kai kah cangpa te thoo tih pai. Te vaengah nangmih kah cangpa loh a vael uh tih kai kah cangpa taengah bakop uh,” a ti nah
8 And they said to him brothers his ¿ really will you reign over us or? certainly will you rule over us and they increased again to hate him on dreams his and on words his.
Te dongah anih te a maya rhoek loh, “Kaimih soah manghai la na manghai vetih kaimih soah na boei khaw na boei tang venim?,” a ti nauh. Anih a hmuhuet uh te a mang, a olka neh koep a khoep.
9 And he dreamed again a dream another and he recounted it to brothers his and he said here! I have dreamed a dream again and there! the sun and the moon and one [plus] ten stars [were] bowing down to me.
Te phoeiah mang a tloe koep a man tih a maya rhoek taengah, “Mang koep ka man hatah khomik neh hla neh aisi hlai at loh kai taengah tarha bakop uh,” a ti nah tih a doek.
10 And he recounted [it] to father his and to brothers his and he rebuked him father his and he said to him what? [is] the dream this which you have dreamed ¿ really will we come I and mother your and brothers your to bow down to you [the] ground towards.
A napa neh a maya rhoek taengah a doek bal dongah amah vik te a napa loh, “Mang na man te ba ham lae? Nang hmaiah diklai la bakop ham kai neh na nu neh na maya rhoek loh ka lo khaw ka lo uh a ya?,” a ti nah tih a ho.
11 And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.
Te dongah anih te a maya rhoek thatlai uh. Tedae a napa long tah olka te a kuem.
12 And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at Shechem.
Tedae a maya rhoek tah Shekhem ah a napa kah boiva luem sak ham a caeh cet.
13 And he said Israel to Joseph ¿ not [are] brothers your pasturing at Shechem come! and I will send you to them and he said to him here [am] I.
Te vaengah Israel loh Joseph la, “Na maya rhoek, te Shekhem ah luem uh pawt nim? Halo lamtah nang man amih taengla kan tueih pawn ve,” a ti nah. Te dongah amah te, “Ka om ngawn he,” a ti nah.
14 And he said to him go please see [the] welfare of brothers your and [the] welfare of the flock and bring to me word and he sent him from [the] valley of Hebron and he came Shechem towards.
Te dongah Joseph la,” Tahae ah cet lamtah, na maya rhoek kah sading sathal neh boiva kah sading sathal khaw na hmuh phoeiah kai taengah ol koep ham voei,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Hebron kol lamkah Shekhem la a tueih tih Joseph khaw cet van.
15 And he found him a man and there! [he was] wandering in the open country and he asked him the man saying what? are you seeking.
Te vaengah lohma ah aka khohmang hlang te lawt a hmuh hatah tekah hlang loh, “Balae na tlap dae? a ti nah tih a dawt.
16 And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.
Te vaengah Joseph loh, “Ka maya rhoek ni ka tlap. Mela a luem uh khaw han thui lah saw,” a ti nah.
17 And he said the man they have departed from here for I heard [them] saying let us go Dothan towards and he went Joseph after brothers his and he found them at Dothan.

18 And they saw him from a distance and just before he drew near to them and they dealt deceptively with him to kill him.
Tedae anih te a hla lamkah a hmuh uh tih amih taeng a pha hlan ah mah ngawn ham anih te a rhaithi uh.
19 And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.
Te dongah a maya rhoek loh khat neh khat taengah, “Mang boei halo ke!
20 And now - come and let us kill him and let us throw him in one of the pits and we will say an animal wild it has eaten him and we may see what? will be dreams his.
Halo uh laeh, anih ke ngawn uh sih lamtah tangrhom pakhat khuila voei uh sih. 'Boethae mulhing loh a ngaeh coeng,’ ti na uh sih. A mang te metlam nim a om ve so uh sih,” a ti uh.
21 And he heard Reuben and he rescued him from hand their and he said not let us strike him life.
Tedae Reuben loh a yaak vaengah amih kut lamkah Joseph te a huul tih, “A kah hinglu he ngawn uh boel sih,” a ti nah.
22 And he said to them - Reuben may not you shed blood throw him into the pit this which [is] in the wilderness and a hand may not you stretch out on him so as to rescue him from hand their to restore him to father his.
Reuben loh amih taengah, “Anih te thii long sak boeh, khosoek kah tangrhom khuila voei uh mai, anih soah kut hlah uh boel mai,” a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te amih kut lamloh huul ham neh a napa taengla mael puei ham a ngaih.
23 And it was just when he came Joseph to brothers his and they stripped Joseph long garment his [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on him.
Te dongah Joseph loh a maya rhoek taengla apha vaengah Joseph kah angkidung neh a pum dongkah pendum angkidung te a pit pauh.
24 And they took him and they threw him the pit towards and the pit [was] empty there not in it [was] water.

25 And they sat down to eat bread and they lifted up eyes their and they saw and there! a caravan of Ishmaelites [was] coming from Gilead and camels their [were] carrying spice and balm and myrrh traveling to take [them] down Egypt towards.
Tedae buh ca la a ngol uh vaengah a dan uh hatah Gilead lamkah Ishmael lambong aka lo te lawt a hmuh uh. Te vaengah Ishmael rhoek loh Egypt la suntlak puei ham kalauk dongah anhoi, thingpi neh myrrh a phueih uh tih cet uh.

Halo uh, anih he Ishmael taengah yoi uh sih. Ning kah a saa, manuca oeh dongah anih soah kut hlah thil boel sih,” a ti nah hatah a manuca rhoek long khaw a rhoi uh.
28 And they passed by men Midianite[s] traders and they drew and they brought up Joseph from the pit and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver and they brought Joseph Egypt towards.
Te dongah Median hlang, thimpom rhoek halo neh Joseph te a doek uh tih tangrhom lamloh a khuen uh. Te phoeiah Joseph te Ishmael taengah tangka baelthong la a yoih uh. Te dongah Joseph te Egypt la a khuen uh.
29 And he returned Reuben to the pit and there! not Joseph [was] in the pit and he tore clothes his.

Te vaengah himbai te a hmat tih, “Ka capa kah angkidung la he, Joseph te mulhing boethae loh pat pat a ngaeh coini,” a ti.
