1Tedae diklai ah khokha a nah pueng dongah,
1In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land.
2Egypt 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.
2And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again and buy us a little food.
3Te 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.
3Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.
4Ka mana te nan tueih mai koinih ka cet uh vetih namah ham man caak ka lai uh ve.
4If therefore thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee.
5Nan 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.
5But if thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother.
6Te 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.
6Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery in that you told him you had also another brother.
7Te 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 na uh.
7But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?
8Tedae 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.
8And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.
9Anih 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.
9I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
10Tedae ka uelh uh pawt koinih he la koep ka voei uh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
10If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.
11Te 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.
11Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
12Na 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.
12And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.
13Na mana khaw khuen uh. Hlah uh lamtah hlang taengla ha cet uh laeh.
13And take also your brother, and go to the man.
14Hlang 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.
14And may my almighty God make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.
15Te 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.
15So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16Joseph 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.
16And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon.
17Tekah hlang long khaw Joseph kah a thui bangla a saii van tih hlang rhoek te Joseph im la a khuen.
17He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the house.
18Tedae 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.
18And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.
19Te dongah Joseph im kah hlang taengla thoeih uh tih im kah thohka ah a voek uh.
19Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,
20Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa aw, a moecuek vaengah ni caak lai ham ka suntlak khaw ka suntlak uh coeng.
20They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before to buy food:
21Tedae 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.
21And when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
22Te 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.
22And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.
23Tedae 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.
23But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them.
24Tekah 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.
24And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
25Tedae khothun buh caak pahoi ham Joseph ha pawk ni tila a yaak uh dongah a khosaa te a soepboe uh.
25But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
26Te dongah im la Joseph halo van neh a kut dongkah khosaa te im khuila a khuen uh tih a hmaiah diklai la bakop uh.
26Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to the ground.
27Te phoeiah amih te sading kawng a dawt tih, “Na pa patong na ti uh te sading la hing pueng a?,” a ti nah.
27But he, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living?
28Te 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.
28And they answered: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to him.
29Te 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.
29And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son.
30Tedae Joseph loh a manuca rhoek taengah a haidamnah pahoi tloo tih a rhah thaa la huut. Te dongah imkhui la cet tih pahoi rhap.
30And he made haste because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber he wept.
31Tedae a hmai a hlak phoeiah halo tih thiim uh. Te phoeiah, “Buh poep laeh,” a ti nah.
31And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.
32Te 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.
32And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane):
33Te 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.
33They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much:
34Te 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.
34Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him.
