Genesis 45
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Joseph loe a taengah kangdoe kaminawk hmaa ah angsum thai ai boeh pongah, Kai khae hoi kalah bang caeh o boih ah, tiah a hang; to naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah angmah hoi angmah to taphong, to naah a taengah mi doeh om ai.
1Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
2Tha hoi a qah pongah, Izip kaminawk hoi Faro imthung takohnawk mah doeh thaih o.
2And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
3Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Kai loe Joseph ni! Pa to hing vop maw? tiah a naa. Toe amyanawk loe, Anih hmaa ah poek anghmang o sut pongah, lok pathim pae o ai.
3And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
4To naah Joseph mah amyanawk khaeah, Ka taengah angzo oh, tiah a naa. Nihcae loe caeh o. Anih mah, Kai loe Izip prae ah nang zawh o ih, nangcae ih amnawk Joseph ni!
4And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5To pongah kai nang zawh o pongah vaihi palungsae o sak hmah loe, palung doeh phui o hmah; hinghaih pahlong han ih ni hae ahmuen ah Sithaw mah kai ang patoeh hmaloe.
5Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
6Vaihi prae thungah khokhahaih saning hnetto oh boeh, hmabang saning pangato thung mi mah doeh lawk sah mak ai ueloe, cang doeh aat o mak ai.
6For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
7Toe long ah kanghmat nangcae to hingsak moe, kalen parai pahlonghaih hoiah nangcae to loisak hanah, Sithaw mah hae ahmuen ah kai hae ang patoeh boeh.
7And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
8To pongah kai haeah patoehkung loe nangcae na ai, Sithaw ni; anih mah Faro to ampa ah ang sak pae, a imthung takoh boih ih angraeng ah ang suek moe, Izip prae boih ukkung ah ang sak.
8Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt.
9Kam pa khaeah karangah caeh oh loe, anih khaeah, Na capa Joseph mah, Kai loe Sithaw mah Izip prae thung boih ukkung angraeng ah ang sak boeh; akra ai ah, kai khaeah angzo tathuk ah, tiah a thuih;
9Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
10kaimah hoi kazoi ahmuen, Goshen prae ah khosah oh, nangmah hoi na caanawk, na caanawk patoeng, maitawnawk, tuunawk hoi na tawnh ih hmuennawk to sin o boih ah;
10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
11kai mah kang pacah o han hmang, saning pangato thung khokha vop tih; to tih ai nahaeloe nangmah hoi na imthung takoh boih, na tawnh ih hmuennawk boih anghmaa tih, tiah thui pae oh.
11And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
12Khenah, nangcae hoi kam nawk Benjamin mikhnuk ah, ka pakha hoiah kang thuih o ih lok to na thaih o boeh.
12Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
13Izip prae ah ka lensawkhaih hoi na hnuk o ih hmuennawk boih, kam pa khaeah thui pae oh; karangah caeh oh loe, kam pa to haeah angzo o haih ah, tiah a naa.
13You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
14To pacoengah amnawk Benjamin to takop moe, a qah; Benjamin mah doeh anih to takop moe, qah;
14And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
15to pacoengah amyanawk boih to a mok moe, a qah; to pacoengah amyanawk hoiah lok apaeh o.
15And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
16Joseph ih amyanawk angzoh o ti, tiah Faro imthung takoh mah thaih naah, Faro hoi a tamnanawk boih poeknawm o.
16And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
17Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Nam yannawk khaeah, hae tiah thui paeh loe, hae tiah sahsak ah; laa hrang hoiah hmuennawk to phaw o sak ah loe, Kanaan prae ah amlaemsak ah;
17And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
18nam pa hoi imthung takoh kaminawk to kai khaeah angzosak ah; Izip prae thungah kahoih koek prae to kang paek han, prae kathawk to na caa o tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
18And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.
19Nangmah doeh nihcae khaeah hae tiah sak hanah thui paeh, a caanawk hoi a zunawk to lak hanah Izip prae thung ih hrang leeng to la nasoe loe, nam pa to angzo o haih nasoe.
19Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
20Hmuennawk to paawt o hmah, Izip prae thung boih ih kahoih koek hmuen loe nihcae hanah om tih, tiah a naa.
20And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
21To pongah Israel caanawk mah to tiah a sak o; Faro mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Joseph mah hrang leengnawk to a paek, to pacoengah loklam ah caak han ih hmuen doeh a paek.
21And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
22Nihcae boih han khukbuen kangtha to a paek, toe Benjamin loe phoisa cumvai thumto hoi khukbuen zung pangato a paek.
22He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
23Ampa hanah Izip prae thung ih kahoih koek hmuennawk to laa hrang hato pongah a phawsak, laa hrang amno hato pongah cang hoi takaw to phawsak pacoengah, ampa mah loklam ah caak han ih hmuennawk to a pat pae.
23Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24To pacoengah amyanawk to patoeh, nihcae doeh amsak o; loklam ah maeto hoi maeto angzoeh o hmah, tiah a naa.
24So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
25Nihcae loe Izip prae thung hoiah angthawk o tahang moe, ampa Jakob ohhaih Kanaan prae ah caeh o.
25And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
26Anih khaeah, Joseph loe hing vop! Izip prae ukkung ah oh, tiah a naa o. To naah Jakob loe palungboeng sut; nihcae to tang ai.
26And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.
27Toe Joseph mah thuih ih loknawk boih a thuih pae o moe, anih phawh hanah Joseph mah pat pae ih hrang leeng to a hnuk naah ni, ampa Jakob loe poekhaih tha oh let vop.
27They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,
28To naah Israel mah, Khawt boeh! Ka capa Joseph loe hing vop, ka caeh moe, ka dueh ai naah anih to ka hnuk han vop, tiah thuih.
28And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
