Semtilbu 43
1 Tuhin Canaan gamsunga kel lhah chu akhoh cheh cheh jeng in ahi.
AND the famine was sore in the land.
2 Egypt gam'a kon a ahinpoh'u anchang aneh chai phat un hichun apao Jacob in achate jah a aseitai, “Nung che kit unlang neh ding gacho kit tauvin,” ati.
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 Ahin Judah in apa Jacob a donbut in, “Gamsung lamkai pa chun hatah in eigah un, na sopi pao chu nahin puilou ule kamai namu lou dingu ahi,” ati.
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4 Benjamin keiho toh na sol khom le kache dingu anchang kaga choh dingu ahi ati.
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5 Amavang Benjamin che ding naphal loule keiho jong kache lou hel ding'u ahi taiti geldoh in, ajeh chu gamsung lamkai pa chun aseiye, “Na sopi pao alhum pen pachu nahin pui lou ule kamai namu lou dingu ahi atisa ahi.”
But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6 Hichun Jacob in adonbut in, “Ibol a nang hon nei suh genthei ju hitam, hiche gamvai popa koma chu sopi khat ka nei nalai uve tia nahin seidoh uham,” ati.
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
7 Amahon a donbut un, “Hiche gamsung lamkai pa chun eiho insung chan chin thu hoitah in aman thudoh eineijun, napao dam nalai em tin eidong un, hiche a chun keihon amapa thudoh ho chu ka donbut cheh un, chule keima hon iti ka het thei diu ham? na sopi pao hinpui yun ati ding chu,” atiuve.
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8 Judah in apa Israel koma asei tan, “Chapang pachu hin sol in hiche teng chule keiho kaga che diu ahi, chule eiho jouse le echateu jouse iki hinso thei ding'u ahi ati.
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
9 Chule keima ka tahsa tah in mopo nang kate ijem tia boina aum khah le, ahin Benjamin chu kahin nung pui loule boina jouse keiman mo ka poh ding ahi ati; chule nangma angsunga mopoh na thepmo na jouse keima chunga chu jeng hen ati.
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10 Amavang eiho ana geisang hih leu hen tuphat a hi nivei tobang kilhung thei ding ahitai.”
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 Chuphat in apao Israel chun ajah uva, ‘chuti ding mong ahiya ahile hiti hin ki gong uvin, gamsunga thingga phalai cheh lheng khom uvin lang, thingnai, lou them khat le khoiju them khat toh, thil namtwi toh, thei chang toh, chule jonmot chang toh nadip sunguva mipa peh ding chun posuh uvin ati.’
And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
12 Chule dangka jong athop in pohbe un, ajeh chu na dip sung uva anaki koi chu koitobang khat in jong anabol khel jong himai thei ahi.
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
13 Hijeh chun nasopi pao hi pui jun lang gamsung lamkai heng a nung che tauvin.
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
14 Chule hatchung nung Pathen in phatthei naboh maiju hen, hiche gamsung vaipo mit mua jong ngailut na mel na chan thei na diuvin ati, chule nangma hon na sopi pao Simeon chule Benjamin na hin hen ohna lou dingu vin, chule keima vang ka chate jal'a thilo pai ding ka hitai,” ati.
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
15 Hichun amahon Jacob thilpeh ho chu agongtup un, chule adipsung uva sum jong athop in apoh be uvin, Benjamin toh akilhon tauve; hichun amaho Egypt gam alhung taovin Joseph masanga a ding tauvin ahi.
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 Chuin Joseph in Benjamin amaho lah a ahung chu amutan, hichun aman a insunga lhacha a pangho jah a hitin aseiye, “Amaho toh'in tunia an nekho ding ka hiuvin hijeh chun insung lama ana puilut un, chule gancha ana that un, kin thupitah kimang ding ahi.”
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
17 Hichun lhacha hon Joseph in asei bang chun abol'un, amaho sese chu Joseph inlam a apuitau vin ahi.
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.
18 Joseph insung a akipui lut jengu amudoh phat’ uvin miho chu aki chau vin, “Iche masah uva idip sunguva sum anaki nung hetlut jeh a hikoma hi eipui lut'uva, chutia chu mi khat hin hehset neu neuva, kitaole na einei dingu chuteng le eiho chengse soh a einei uva chule isangan teu aboncha akilah got hiya ahitai,” akiti uve.
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
19 Judah le asopihon Joseph insunga lhacha lamkai pa koma ache un akelkot koma hitin asei uve.
And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
20 Amaho atao vun; Ja umtah pu, keima ho hi phat masa chun Egypt gam'a anchang cho a ka hung uve.
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 Ahin keiho kaki nungle uchun jan ahiphat in ka dip sungu kahon doh ule hichun keihon ka dipsung uva dangka thil choh na man ho chu mijouse dipsunga ana umsoh keiye, tuhin hiche dangka ho chu ka hin nungpoh cheh nauve.
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 Chule keihon chang chohbe nading dangka jong ka hin pohbe uvin, koi tobang ham khat in dangka ho ka dipsung uva ana koi jong chu ka pum het pouve.
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 Imacha lungboina nei hih un, tin insung lhacha pa chun aseiye, Na Pakai na pate Pathen chun na dipsung uva nahin koipeh'u ahi, na dangka hou jong keima koma aum nai; hichun aman Simeon chu alha kang in amaho laha ahinpui dohtan ahi.
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
24 Insung lhacha pa chun miho chu Joseph leng insung lama apuilut tauvin ahi, insung lhacha pan twi akengu kisil ngim na ding apen chule sangan ho ding anneh jong ape uvin ahi.
And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
25 Hichun amahon Joseph peh dinga ahin thilpoh houchu akigon tup uvin, chule amahon aja tauvin sunteng le Joseph toh an aneh khom ding'u thu chu;
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26 Hichun Joseph in ahung lhun chun amahon athil poh'u chu ahin la doh un Joseph masanga tol'a abohkhup tauvin ahi.
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 Amahon alemjou chun adong tan napao akum atam tai nati pao chu “Dam jinga hinam, ama chu dam dam a hinam tin adong in ahi.”
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
28 Amahon adon but un, “Henge adam dam nai atiuve,” chule nasohte keiho dinga ka pao chu adam in ahing na laiye,” chuin amaho Joseph ma sanga abohkhup kit uvin ahi.
And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
29 Hichun Joseph in asopipa Benjamin chu aven “Amahi ham na sopiu alhum pen pa na tiu chu tin Joseph in adong tai,” Pathen in na umpi jingta hen O ka chapa!” ati.
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
30 Hichun Joseph ama umna insung dena kon in apot doh in, ajeh chu asopipa amu chun ama akitim joutapon, hichun ama indan sungnunga alutin agakaptan ahi.
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
31 Chuin amai akiphet jouvin ama ahung potdoh kit in nasatah in akitim ham ham in, “An neh ding hin thuh taovin,” ati.
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
32 Hijeh chun amahon Joseph ding atum in, amaho ding atumin, chule ama toh nekhom ding Egypt mite ding atumin ankong asem tauve, ijeh inem itile Egypt miten Hebrew mite toh an aneh khom ngailouvu, neh khom ding chu Egypt mite dinga bohna khat hiya ahiye.
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
33 Joseph in asopiho chu atouna din akoi peh cheh in, ama hon jong ajalheh jeng un, amaho tahsa kum alen penna pat aneopen pa gei in atou nao agontup peh in atou sah tan ahi.
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
34 Amoho chan ding chu Joseph chan lah akon in asoh doh uvin ahi; chujong le Benjamin chan chu amaho khat chan jat sangin chan ajat ngan atam joi. Hitobang chun ama hon Joseph chutoh an ane khom uvin adon khom tauvin ahi.
And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
