1Egypt ah cangtham a om te Jakob loh a hmuh vaengah a ca rhoek te Jakob loh, “Ba dongah lae sut na sawt uh thae? a ti nah.
1And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless?
2phoeiah, “Egypt ah cangtham om tila ka yaak dongah he, n'duek uh pawt tih n'hing uh mak atah te lam khaw cet uh lamtah mah hamla koivawn uh saw,” a ti nah.
2I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want.
3Te dongah Joseph kah a maya hlang rha rhoek loh Egypt kah cang lai ham suntla uh.
3So the ten brethren of Joseph went down, to buy corn in Egypt:
4Tedae Joseph mana Benjamin te tah nganboh yook ve a ti dongah a maya rhoek taengah Jakob loh tueih pawh.
4Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey.
5Kanaan kho te khokha a om dongah koivawn ham aka cet rhoek lakli ah Israel ca rhoek khaw cet uh.
5And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
6Te vaengah Joseph tah a kho kah boei neh diklai pilnam boeih ham cang a yoih. Te dongah Joseph kah a maya rhoek te a caeh uh vaengah anih taengah a maelhmai neh diklai la bakop uh.
6And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him,
7A hmuh vaengah Joseph loh a maya rhoek te a hmat ngawn dae amih taengah muet uh tih rhaprhap a voek phoeiah, “Me lamkah lae na lo uh,” a ti nah hatah, “Caak lai ham Kanaan kho lamkah ka lo,” a ti na uh.
7And he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life.
8Joseph loh a maya rhoek te a hmat ngawn dae amih loh Joseph te hmat uh pawh.
8And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them.
9Te vaengah Joseph loh amih kawng a man vaengkah mueimang te a poek. Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih he rhalyuep ni, khohmuen kah a yah te sawt ham ni na lo uh,” a ti nah.
9And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land.
10Tedae amah taengah “Pawh, ka boeipa, na salpa rhoek halo he caak lai ham ngawn ni.
10But they said: It is not so, my lord, but thy servants are come to buy food.
11Kaimih he hlang pakhat kah a ca rhoek boeih ni. Kaimih hmantang rhoek ni, na sal kaimih ah he longyam a om moenih,” a ti uh.
11We are all the sons of one man: we are come as peaceable men, neither do thy servants go about any evil.
12Tedae amih te Joseph loh khohmuen kah a yah dongah sawt ham na lo uh pawt het nim,” a ti nah.
12And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land.
13Na sal rhoek kaimih boeinaphung he hlang pakhat kah a ca rhoek la Kanaan kho ah hlai nit ka lo uh tih a poeih tah tahae ah a pa neh om rhoi dae pakhat te om voelpawh,” a ti na uh.
13But they said: We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Chanaan: the youngest is with our father, the other is not living.
14Tedae amih te Joseph loh, “Nangmih taengah ka thui bangla nangmih he longyam ni ka ti,
14He saith: This is it that I said: You are spies.
15Pharaoh kah a hingnah vanbangla he nen he kan noem ni. Na mana a poeih te he la halo pawt atah he lamloh na voei uh mahpawh.
15I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come.
16Nangmih khuikah pakhat te tueih uh lamtah na mana te lo saeh. Nangmih ngawntah kang khoh uh vetih nangmih kah olka te na khuikah oltak la a om atah kan nuemnai pueng ni. Te pawt koinih Pharaoh kah a hingnah vanbangla nangmih he longyam ni,” a ti nah.
16Send one of you to fetch him: and you shall be in prison, till what you have said be proved, whether it be true or false: or else by the health of Pharao you are spies.
17Te dongah amih te thongim ah hnin thum a khoh.
17So he put them in prison three days.
18Tedae a thum khohnin ah Joseph loh a maya rhoek la he tlam he ka saii dae, kai khaw aka hing Pathen te ka rhih van.
18And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God.
19Na thuem uh atah na manuca khat te im kah thongim khuiah khoh saeh. Te vaengah nangmih te cet uh lamtah na im kah aka lamlum ham cang khuen pa uh.
19If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses.
20Tedae na mana a poeih te kai taengah nan khuen uh vaengah nangmih kah olka te khaw cak vetih na duek uh van mahpawh,” a ti nah dongah te tlam te a rhoi uh.
20And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said.
21Te vaengah amah boeinaphung te khat khat ah, “Manuca a hinglu kah citcai te hmuh uh tih mamih taengah calcal a pang lalah n'yaak pah uh pawt dongah tekah citcai loh m'mah taengla ha thoeng tih mamih he rheprhep n'rhaem coeng,” a ti uh.
21And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us.
22Te vaengah Reuben loh amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah ka thui moenih a? Camoe te veet uh boeh ka ti lalah na ya uh pawt tih a thii han suk coeng he,” a ti nah.
22And Ruben one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy: and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required.
23Tedae amih laklo ah oldoe a om dongah Joseph loh a yakming te amih loh ming uh pawh.
23And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter.
24Te dongah Joseph loh amih taeng lamkah mael tih a rhah phoeiah amih taengla koep halo. Tedae amih te a voek phoeiah amih khui kah Simeon te a loh tih amamih kah mikhmuh ah a khoh pah.
24And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning he spoke to them.
25Tedae Joseph loh a uen coeng dongah amih kah hnopai te cang a sang thil uh. Te vaengah a tangka te khaw a tolkhui khuiah rhip a khueh ham khaw, amih ham te longpueng kah lampu khaw paek ham khaw, a saii pah.
25And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man’s money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so.
26Te dongah amamih kah cang te laak dongla a pom hang uh tih pahoi cet uh.
26But they having loaded their asses with the corn, went their way.
27Tedae rhaehim ah tah pakhat loh laak rhamcak loh ham a tolkhui te a hlam hatah a tangka te sungkoi kah a rhai ah lawt a hmuh tarha.
27And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack’s mouth;
28Te dongah a manuca rhoek taengah, “Kai kah sungkoi dongah kamah kah tangka koep ham mael bal he,” a ti nah hatah amih lungbuei khaw mawt sut dongah lakueng uh tih a boeinaphung khat rhip loh, “Pathen loh mamih ham balae a saii he,” a ti uh.
28And said to his brethren: My money is given me again, behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us?
29Te dongah Kanaan kho kah a napa Jakob taengla a pha uh vaengah amih taengah aka thoeng boeih te amah taengah puen uh.
29And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying:
30Tekah hlang, a kho kah boei te kaimih taengah rhaprhap cal tih kaimih te a kho kah longyam bangla n'khueh.
30The lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us to be spies of the country.
31Tedae anih taengah, 'hmantang ah kaimih he longyam la ka om moenih.
31And we answered him: We are peaceable men, and we mean no plot.
32A pa kah a ca rhoek la ka boeinaphung ah hlai nit ka lo uh dae pakhat om voelpawt tih a poeih ngawn tah tihnin ah khaw a pa neh Kanaan kho ah hmaih om,’ ka ti na uh.
32We are twelve brethren born of one father: one is not living, the youngest is with our father in the land of Chanaan.
33Tedae tekah hlang, a kho kah boei loh kaimih te, 'boeinaphung kah pakhat te kai taengah na caehtak uh tih te nen te nangmih na thuem ka ming phoeiah na im kah aka lamlum ham caak khuen uh lamtah cet uh.
33And he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways.
34Tedae na mana a poeih te kai taengah han khuen uh. Te daengah ni nangmih te longyam rhoek pawt tih na hmantang tila ka ming eh. Na manuca te nangmih taengla kan paek vetih khohmuen ah na thenpom uh bitni,’ a ti,” a ti uh.
34And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may know you are not spies: and you may receive this man again, that is kept in prison: and afterwards may have leave to buy what you will.
35Te dongah amamih kah tolkhui te a kong uh hatah a tangka cun te tolkhui dongah rhip tarha om tih tangka cun a hmuh uh vaengah amamih long khaw a napa long khaw a rhih uh.
35When they had told this, they poured out their corn and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together,
36Te vaengah a napa Jakob loh amih te, “Kai taengah, Joseph na hlong uh tih om voelpawh. Simeon khaw om voelpawh. Tahae ah Benjamin bal atah kai taengkah aka om boeih te lo loh ne,” a ti nah.
36Their father Jacob said: You have made me to be without children: Joseph is not living, Simeon is kept in bonds, and Benjamin you will take away: all these evils are fallen upon me.
37Te dongah Reuben loh a napa taengah, “Anih te namah taengla kan khuen pawt atah kai ca rhoi khaw ngawn mai. Ka kut dongah han tloeng lamtah kamah loh nang taengla kang khuen bit ni,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
37And Ruben answered him: Kill my two sons if I bring him not again to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to thee.
38Tedae anih loh, “Ka ca te a maya duek tih amah bueng a sueng dongah nangmih taengla ha suntla boel saeh. Longpueng na caeh uh vaengah yoethae puei vetih kai sampok he saelkhui ah kothae la nan hla uh ve,” a ti nah.
38But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to hell.
