Genesis 37
1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
Jakop teh a na pa imyin lah a onae Kanaan ram dawk kho a sak.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph brought the evil report of them to their father.
Hethateh Jakop catoun e lairui doeh. Joseph teh a kum 17 touh a pha nah a hmaunaw hoi saringnaw a khoum awh. Ahni teh a camo rah dawkvah, a na pa e yu Bilhah hoi Zilpah capanaw koevah ao, hahoi Joseph ni hnokahawi hoeh a sak awh e kamthang kathout hah a na pa koe ouk a dei pouh.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made for him a coat of many colors.
Isarel ni Joseph teh a matawng nah a khe e lah ao dawkvah, a canaw pueng hlak a lungpataw hnawn, angkidung a phun aloukcalah a khui pouh teh a poe.
4 And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. And they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
A na pa ni a hmaunaw hlak a lungpataw hnawn tie hah a panue awh. Hottelah hoi ahni teh, hmawt ngai awh hoeh. Lawk kahawi hoi hai pato ngai awh hoeh.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him yet the more.
Joseph ni mang a sak teh a hmaunaw koe a dei pouh dawkvah, hoe hmawt ngai awh hoeh.
6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
Ahni ni ahnimanaw koe pahren lahoi mang ka sak e hah thai awh haw.
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright. And, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Law vah cabong hah a thaw awh teh kaie cabong hai a thaw teh a kangdue. Hahoi thai awh haw, nangmae cabongnaw ni a kalup awh teh, kaie cabong hah a bawk awh, telah ati.
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall thou indeed reign over us? Or shall thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
A hmaunaw ni ahni koevah, nang ni kaimouh na uk katang han na maw. Nang heh kaimae lathueng vah kâ na tawn han na maw, telah atipouh awh. Hottelah hoi a mang hoi a dei e lawk kecu dawkvah, hoe a hmuhma awh.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers. And said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream again. And, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Hahoi mang alouke e bout a sak teh, a hmaunaw koevah bout a dei pouh. Thai awh haw, mang bout ka tawn. Kanî hoi thapa hoi âsinaw 12 touh ka hmalah be a tabut awh telah ati.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou have dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
A na pa hoi a hmaunaw koe a dei pouh navah, a na pa ni a yue teh, mang na sak e teh bangpatete mang han na maw. Kai hoi na manu hoi na hmaunaw ni na hmalah ka tabut han na maw telah ati.
11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
A hmaunaw ni ahni teh a ut awh. Hateiteh, a na pa ni hno kaawm e hah a lung dawk a pâkuem.
12 And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
A hmaunaw teh Shekhem vah a na pa e saring khoum hanelah a cei awh.
13 And Israel said to Joseph, Are not thy brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here I am.
Isarel ni Joseph koevah na hmaunaw ni Shekhem doeh saring a khoum awh khe, tho haw, ahnimouh koe na patoun han telah ati. Ahni ni na patoun yawkaw telah ati.
14 And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brothers, and well with the flock, and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
A na pa ni ahnimouh koe cet nateh na hmaunaw hah a dam awh maw, saringnaw a dam maw, panue hanelah kamthaw haw, haw e kamthang kai koe bout na dei pouh han telah ati. Hottelah hoi Hebron tanghling koehoi a patoun teh Shekhem vah a pha.
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What do thou seek?
Law dawk voutsout a kâhlai e hah tami buet touh ni a hmu teh ahni ni, bangmaw na tawng telah a pacei.
16 And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding.
Ahni ni, ka hmaunaw doeh ka tawng pahren lahoi saringhu a khoumnae na dei pouh haw telah ati.
17 And the man said, They are departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Ahni ni hote hmuen koehoi yo a cei awh toe. Dothan vah cet sei ati awh e hah ka thai, telah ati. Hottelah hoi Joseph ni a hmaunaw teh a pâlei teh Dothan vah a hmaunaw a hmu.
18 And they saw him afar off. And before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Ahnimouh ni ahlapoungnae koehoi a hmu awh teh, ahni koe a pha hoehnahlan vah, ahni thei nahane lah a kâdei awh toe.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
Thai awh haw, mang ka sak e tami a tho toe.
20 Come now therefore, and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits. And we will say, An evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Tho awh thei awh vaiteh, moimatheng ni a kei telah tet pouh awh sei. Hahoi a mangnaw teh bangne tie hah panue awh han telah buet touh hoi buet touh lengkaleng a kâti awh.
21 And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
Hateiteh, Reuben ni a thai teh ahnimae kut dawk hoi a rungngang teh, thet lah thet awh hanh sei, telah ati.
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood. Cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him, that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
Hateiteh, Reuben ni a kut thung hoi a rungngang teh a na pa koe a bankhai thai nahan, thet awh hanh, kahrawng e tangkom thung pabawt awh nateh na kut teh tha awh hanh telah ati.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,
Joseph ni a hmaunaw koe a pha toteh, angkidung em kaawm e hah a rading pouh awh.
24 and they took him, and cast him into the pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
A ceikhai awh teh tangkom dawk a pabo awh. Tangkom dawk tui awm hoeh.
25 And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Hottelah rawca ca hanelah, a tahung awh. Hahoi a radoung awh teh, Ishmael kahlawng ka cet e Gilead ram lahoi amamae kalauk hoi hmuitui hoi, thing tapi, murah phu e hoi Izip ram lah cei hanelah kamthawnaw hah a tho awh.
26 And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Judah ni a hmaunawnghanaw koe maimae nawngha thei awh teh, a thipalawng e paphat awh pawiteh, bangmaw cungkeinae kaawm han.
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
Tho awh, a lathueng kut tha laipalah Ishmaelnaw koe yawt awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh nawngha maimae misa hoi kâkuen e doeh, telah ati teh, a hmaunawnghanaw ni a hnâ rip a bo khai awh.
28 And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen, and they drew and lifted Joseph up out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Hottelah hoi Midian hno kayawtnaw teh a tho awh teh, Joseph teh tangkom dawk hoi a rasa awh teh, Ishmaelnaw koe tangka 20 touh lah a yo awh. Hahoi Joseph teh Izip ram lah a ceikhai awh.
29 And Reuben returned to the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
Hottelah hoi Reuben teh tangkom koe a tho teh, khenhaw! Joseph teh tangkom thung la awm hoeh toe, hat toteh a khohna hah a ravei.
30 and he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not, and I, where shall I go?
Hahoi a hmaunawnghanaw koe a cei teh, camo awm hoeh toe. Kai teh na lane ka cei han toung telah ati.
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
Joseph e angkidung hah a la awh teh hmaetan a thei awh teh a thi dawk a ranup awh.
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.
Em la e angkidung hah a patawn awh teh, a na pa koe a poe awh. Hethateh ka hmu awh e doeh. Na capa e angkidung na ou, khenhaw! hottelah ati awh.
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat. An evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
A na pa ni a nout teh, ka capa e angkidung doeh. Moimatheng buetbuet touh ni a kei toung hah tayaw. Joseph hah vekrasen lah a hruek toe telah ati.
34 And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Hottelah hoi Jakop teh a khohna a ravei teh, buri a kâkhu laihoi a hnin moikasaw lah a capa hah a khui.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
A capanaw pueng hoi a canunaw pueng hah ahni a lungpahawi hanelah a thaw awh, hateiteh, a na pa ni a lungpahawinae ngai pouh hoeh. Khui nalaihoi phuen koe ka capa koevah ka cei han toe telah ati. Hottelah hoi a na pa teh ahni a pouk lawi a khui a ka. (Sheol h7585)
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
Midiannaw ni Joseph teh Izip ram dawk a kâenkhai awh teh, Faro kut rahim e imkaringkung Potiphar koevah a yo awh.
