< Genesis 37 >
1 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings — in the land of Canaan.
Hichun Jacob Canaan chu apa khopem na Canaan gamsunga anung chen kit tai.
2 These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the flock, (and he [is] a youth, ) with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in an account of their evil 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 And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;
4 and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak [to] him peaceably.
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 dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren, and they add still more to hate him.
Joseph in nikhat mang anei in amang chu asopiho asei pehle amahon avetda cheh un ahi.
6 And he saith unto them, 'Hear ye, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Aman aseiye, “Ngaijun ka mang ho kasei ding ahi ati.
7 that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field, and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo, your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.'
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 say to him, 'Dost thou certainly reign over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still more to hate him, for his dreams, and for 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 And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his brethren, and saith, 'Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves 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 And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren; and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, 'What [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come — I, and thy mother, and thy brethren — to bow ourselves 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 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched 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 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,
Phat chomkhat jou chun Joseph sopiho chu Schechem lama apa kelngoi ching ding in achekit tauvin ahi.
13 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Are not thy brethren feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he saith to him, 'Here [am] I;'
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 and he saith to him, 'Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh 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 findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the field, and the man asketh 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 saith, 'My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I pray thee, where they are feeding?'
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 saith, 'They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan.
Mipa chun adonbut in, “Amaho kihou limna kajan eiho Dothan lama chetau hite,” aki tiuve.
18 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near unto them, and they conspire 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 say one unto another, 'Lo, this man of the dreams cometh;
“Tuhin mang neipa ahung tai,” amahon atiuve.
20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.'
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 heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the 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 saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' — in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back 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 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,
Hichun Joseph ahung lhun chun asopite hon a sangkhol chol hoitah chu asut lhah peh pai tauvin ahi.
24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is 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 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh, going 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 And Judah saith unto his brethren, 'What gain when we slay our brother, and have concealed 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 we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands are not on him, for he [is] our brother — our flesh;' and his brethren hearken.
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 Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring 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 returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not in the pit, and he rendeth his garments,
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 he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, 'The lad is not, and I — whither am I going?'
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 take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,
Hichun Joseph sopihon kelnou khat athat uvin, athisan chu Joseph sangkhol a chun anu tauve.
32 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it [is] thy son's coat 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 discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn — torn 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 rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner 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 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, 'For — I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him. (Sheol )
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 )
36 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the 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.
