< Genesis 45 >

1 Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Joseph long khaw amah taengkah aka pai boeih taengah thiim uh ham a coeng voelpawt vaengah, “Hlang boeih loh kai taeng lamkah nong uh,” tila pang. Te dongah a taengkah hlang tloe aka pai te a om pawt vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek taengah amah kawng te a phoe.
2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Te vaengah rhahnah neh a ol a huel. Te dongah Egypt rhoek loh a yaak uh tih Pharaoh im long khaw a yaak.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
Te vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek la, “Kai he Joseph ni. A pa hing pueng a?,” a ti nah. Tedae anih hmuh ah a manuca rhoek te let uh tih doo uh thai pawh.
4 Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Te vaengah Joseph loh a manuca rhoek la, “Kai taengla bet ha thoeih uh lah,” a ti nah tih a thoeih uh hatah, “Kai Joseph he na manuca ni. Kai he Egypt la nan yoih uh.
5 Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Tedae hinglu hlawtnah ham Pathen loh nangmih hmai ah kai n'tueih coeng dongah kai nan yoih uh te namamih kah mik dongah na ngaihlih sak uh boel lamtah sai boeh.
6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
Tahae lamkah khokha kum loh kho khui ah om vetih kum nga ngawn tah lotawn cangah mueh la om pueng ni.
7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
Tedae diklai ah a meet la nangmih te n'hoep phoeiah loeihnah tanglue neh nangmih te hing sak ham ni nangmih hmai ah Pathen loh kai n'tueih.
8 So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Te dongah nangmih loh hela kai nan tueih uh moenih. Tedae Pathen loh kai he Pharaoh napa lam khaw, amah im pum kah boei lam khaw, Egypt kho tom aka taemrhai ham khaw, n'khueh.
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.
A pa taengah a loe la cet uh lamtah, 'Na capa Joseph te Pathen loh Egypt pum kah boei la a khueh coeng,'. Uelh mueh la kai taengah na suntla uh tih,
10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
kamah neh a yoei la om ham Goshen kho ah a pa namah khaw, na ca rhoek khaw, na ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek patoeng khaw, na boiva khaw, na saelhung neh na taengkah aka om boeih te khaw kho na sak uh bitni.
11 There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
Khokha he kum nga a om pueng dongah nangmih te kan cangbam bitni. Namah khaw, na im khaw na taengkah aka om boeih khaw tal ve,’ a ti,’ ti nah.
12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Tahae ah kamah ka neh nangmih taengah ka thui he nangmih mik neh ka mana Benjamin mik loh rhep a hmuh he.
13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
Egypt ah kai, thangpomnah cungkuem neh nan hmuh uh boeih te a pa taengah puen uh lamtah a pa te pahoi tlek han khuen uh,” a ti nah.
14 He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Te phoeiah a mana Benjamin te a rhawn ah a kop tih rhap. Benjamin long khaw a rhawn ah a kop tih rhap van.
15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
A manuca rhoek te rhip a mok tih a rhah thil. Te phoei daengah a manuca rhoek loh anih taengah cal uh.
16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Tedae Joseph kah a manuca rhoek halo uh a ti te Pharaoh im loh olthang a yaak vaengah Pharaoh mik ah khaw, a sal rhoek mik ah khaw cop.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph taengah, “He tlam he saii mai. Na manuca rhoek la, 'Na rhamsa neh sawn uh lamtah Kanaan kho la bal uh ngawn.
18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
Na pa te khaw, na imkhui khaw, lo uh lamtah kai taengla han khuen uh. Nangmih te Egypt khohmuen kah a thennah kam paek vetih lai men te na caak uh bitni.
19 Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Te phoeiah namah loh uen lamtah saii. Na ca rhoek ham khaw, na yuu rhoek ham khaw, na pa te khaw lo uh. Te phoeiah na bal uh vaengkah ham leng te Egypt kho lamloh namah neh puei uh.
20 Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”
Egypt khohmuen kah a thennah boeih he nangmih ham coeng dongah na hnopai khaw na mik dongah rhen boeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Te dongah Isreal ca rhoek loh a saii uh tih Pharaoh kah olpaek vanbangla amih te Joseph loh leng a paek. Te phoeiah amih te longpueng ham lampu khaw a paek.
22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
Amih ham thovaelnah himbai te khat khat rhip a paek tih Benjamin te tah tangka ya thum neh himbai thovaelnah ham yung nga a paek.
23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
A napa ham khaw Egypt kah a thennah aka phuei laak pumrha, cang, caak neh a napa ham longpueng kah lampu aka phuei laaknu pumrha te a pat pah.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”
Tedae a manuca rhoek te a tueih tih a hlah uh vaengah amih te, “Longpueng ah tlai uh boeh ne,” a ti nah.
25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
Te phoeiah Egypt lamkah Kanaan kho la cet uh tih a napa Jakob te a paan uh.
26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.
Te phoeiah Jakob taengah, “Joseph hing pueng tih anih loh Egypt kho boeih a taem a rhai,” tila a puen pauh. Tedae a lungbuei a lungmit coeng tih amih te tangnah pawh.
27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
Tedae Joseph loh amih taengah a thui olka boeih te Jakob taengah a thui pa uh tih amah aka phuei ham Joseph kah a pat leng te a hmuh vaengah a napa Jakob kah a mueihla koep hing.
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Te daengah Israel loh, “Rhoek saeh, ka ca Joseph a hing pueng te ka duek hlanah ka cet vetih a muei ka hmu dae ni,” a ti.
