Genesis 43
1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
Tedae diklai ah khokha a nah pueng dongah,
2 and it cometh to pass, when they have finished eating the corn which they brought from Egypt, that their father saith unto them, 'Turn back, buy for us a little food.'
Egypt lamkah a khuen cang te khaw bawt a khawk uh. Te dongah a napa Jakob loh a ca rhoek la, “Cet lamtah mah caak ham bet vawn uh dae,” a ti nah.
3 And Judah speaketh unto him, saying, 'The man protesting protested to us, saying, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you;
Te vaengah Judah loh a napa te, “Hlang loh kaimih taengah, 'Na mana te namah neh na pawk pawt atah kai maelhmai na hmuh uh mahpawh,’ a ti tih n'hih la n'hih.
4 if thou art sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for thee food,
Ka mana te nan tueih mai koinih ka cet uh vetih namah ham man caak ka lai uh ve.
5 and if thou art not sending — we do not go down, for the man said unto us, Ye do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.'
Nan tueih van pawt atah hlang loh kaimih taengah, 'Na mana te namah neh na pawk pawt atah kai maelhmai hmu uh mahpawh,’ a ti oeh dongah ka cet uh mahpawh, a ti nah.
6 And Israel saith, 'Why did ye evil to me, by declaring to the man that ye had yet a brother?'
Te dongah Israel loh, “Na mana khat te khaw ba ham lae hlang taengla na puen uh tih kai he nan talh uh,” a ti nah.
7 and they say, 'The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye 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?'
Te dongah a ca rhoek loh, “Hlang loh mamih kawng neh pacaboeina kawng te n'dawt n'dawt tih, 'Na pa hing pueng a? Na mana om a? a ti dongah a ka dongkah olka te ni ka doo uh dae, 'Na mana han khuen,’ a ti ni tila ka ming khaw ka ming uh huek a,” a ti nauh.
8 And Judah saith unto Israel his father, 'Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and thou, and our infants.
Tedae Judah loh a napa Israel la, “Camoe te kamah neh n'tueih lamtah caeh hamla ka hlah uh pawn ni. Te daengah ni n'hing uh vetih kaimih khaw, namah khaw, camoe rhoek khaw n'duek pawt eh.
9 I — I am surety [for] him, from my hand thou dost require him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before thee — then I have sinned against thee all the days;
Anih te kamah loh ka kaem. Nang taengla kam bal puei tih kamah kut lamkah nang hmai ah kan khueh pawt atah han suk. Khohnin takuem nang taengah tholh ka phueih bit ni.
10 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.'
Tedae ka uelh uh pawt koinih he la koep ka voei uh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
11 And Israel their father saith unto them, 'If so, now, this do: 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;
Te daengah a napa Israel loh, “He tlam he saii laeh, tolrhum kah thaihthen, thingpi khaw, khoitui khaw, anhoi khaw, myrrh khaw yungkha mu khaw, noepai mu khaw, a yol a yol tah na hno dongah rhip sang uh lamtah hlang ham te khosaa la khuen uh.
12 and double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, ye take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.
Na kut dongah tangka rhaepnit la khuen uh lamtah na sungkoi so kah tangka te khaw mael puei uh. Na kut dongah na loh tholh khaming.
13 'And take your brother, and rise, turn back unto the man;
Na mana khaw khuen uh. Hlah uh lamtah hlang taengla ha cet uh laeh.
14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he hath sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved — I am bereaved.'
Hlang hmai ah khaw Pathen Tlungthang loh nangmih taengah haidamnah han khueh saeh lamtah na mana neh Benjamin te han hlah saeh. Ka loh cakol khaw ka cakol mai eh?,” a ti nah.
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;
Te dongah tekah hlang rhoek loh khosaa te a khuen uh. Te phoeiah a kut dongkah tangka te rhaepnit la a khuen uh tih aka thoo uh te Benjamin khaw Egypt la a suntlak puei uh tih Joseph hmai ah pai uh.
16 and Joseph seeth Benjamin with them, and saith to him who [is] over his house, 'Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for with me do the men eat at noon.'
Joseph loh amih neh Benjamin te a hmuh vaengah a im aka khut taengah, “Hlang rhoek te im la khuen. Te phoeiah maeh ngawn lamtah kamah neh khothun buh caak ham sai,” a ti nah.
17 And the man doth as Joseph hath said, and the man bringeth in the men into the house of Joseph,
Tekah hlang long khaw Joseph kah a thui bangla a saii van tih hlang rhoek te Joseph im la a khuen.
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 upon us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants — our asses also.'
Tedae Joseph im la a khuen uh vaengah hlang rhoek loh a rhih uh. Te dongah, “A moecuek ah mamih kah sungkoi khuiah koep a khueh tangka kawng dongah mamih palet ham neh mamih aka cungku sak ham ni. Te dongah mamih khaw laak rhoek khaw sal la tuuk ham n'khuen coeng,” a ti uh.
19 And they come nigh unto the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak unto him at the opening of the house,
Te dongah Joseph im kah hlang taengla thoeih uh tih im kah thohka ah a voek uh.
20 and say, 'O, my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa aw, a moecuek vaengah ni caak lai ham ka suntlak khaw ka suntlak uh coeng.
21 and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;
Tedae rhaehim ka pha uh vaengah kamamih kah sungkoi te ka hlam uh hatah sungkoi kah a rhai ah tangka te rhip a om tarha dongah amah tarhing la ka kut dongah ka tangka te kan khuen uh.
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.'
Te phoeiah caak lai ham te ka kut dongah tangka a hloeh la kang khuen uh ngawn. Unim kaimih kah sungkoi dongah tangka a khueh dae ka ming uh pawh,” a ti uh.
23 And he saith, 'Peace to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father hath given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came unto me;' and he bringeth out Simeon unto them.
Tedae Joseph im om loh, “Nangmih taengah rhoepnah om saeh, rhih uh boeh. Na Pathen neh na pa kah Pathen loh na sungkoi dongah nangmih ham kawn a khueh tih na tangka loh kai taeng ham pha coeng,” a ti nah tih Simeon te amih taengla a mawt pah.
24 And the man bringeth in the men into Joseph's house, and giveth water, and they wash their feet; and he giveth provender for their asses,
Tekah hlang loh hlang rhoek te Joseph im la a khuen. Tui a paek tih a kho a yuh phoeiah laak ham rhamcak khaw a tloeng pah.
25 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they do eat bread.
Tedae khothun buh caak pahoi ham Joseph ha pawk ni tila a yaak uh dongah a khosaa te a soepboe uh.
26 And Joseph cometh 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;
Te dongah im la Joseph halo van neh a kut dongkah khosaa te im khuila a khuen uh tih a hmaiah diklai la bakop uh.
27 and he asketh of them of peace, and saith, 'Is your father well? the aged man of whom ye have spoken, is he yet alive?'
Te phoeiah amih te sading kawng a dawt tih, “Na pa patong na ti uh te sading la hing pueng a?,” a ti nah.
28 and they say, 'Thy servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive;' and they bow, and do obeisance.
Te vaengah, “Na sal rhoek khaw ka sading uh tih a pa khaw hing pueng,” a ti nah uh phoeiah buluk uh tih a bawk la a bawk uh coeng.
29 And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Benjamin his brother, his mother's son, and saith, 'Is this your young brother, of whom ye have spoken unto me?' and he saith, 'God favour thee, my son.'
Te vaengah a mik a huel hatah a manu ca, a mana Benjamin te a hmuh tih, “Na mana a poeih na ti uh te anih a?,” a ti nah tih, “Ka ca Pathen loh nang n'rhen saeh,” a ti nah.
30 And Joseph hasteth, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeketh to weep, and entereth the inner chamber, and weepeth there;
Tedae Joseph loh a manuca rhoek taengah a haidamnah pahoi tloo tih a rhah thaa la huut. Te dongah imkhui la cet tih pahoi rhap.
31 and he washeth his face, and goeth out, and refraineth himself, and saith, 'Place bread.'
Tedae a hmai a hlak phoeiah halo tih thiim uh. Te phoeiah, “Buh poep laeh,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah Joseph khaw amah loh, a manuca te khaw amah amah loh, Joseph taengkah aka ca Egypt rhoek long khaw amah amah loh a poep uh. Te Egypt ham tueilaehkoi la a om dongah Hebrew taengah buh caak ham Egypt ham tah coeng pawh.
33 And they sit before him, the first-born according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;
Te vaengah caming tah amah caminghamsum bangla, a capoeih khaw a capoeih hamsum bangla a mikhmuh ah ngol uh. Te dongah hlang rhoek tah pakhat loh a hui taengah a ngaihmang uh.
34 and he lifteth up gifts from before him unto them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, yea, they drink abundantly with him.
Te vaengah Joseph loh amah hmai kah buham te amih ham a poep pa thil hatah Benjamin kah buham ngawtah amih boeih kah buham lakah a pueh panga la yet. A ok uh tih a taengah rhuihmil uh.
