Genesis 45 (TCZCHONG)

1Hichun Joseph anatoh khompi ho masanga ama le ama akitim jou tapon hichun awthong jejun akap tan, mijouse chukom'a kon chun asoldoh in ama asopi ho lah a akiphong doh tan ahi.Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.

2Chuin ama hatah in akaptan ahile Egypt miten jong aja uvin, chule hiche thu kisei chu apet pet in Pharaoh in ajatan ahi.But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.

3Joseph in asopi ho kom'a aseijin “Keima Joseph chu kahi! Kapa chu dam nalai hinam?” ati. Hinlah asopiho imacha seithei louvin aum gam tauve! Amasang uva ding Joseph ahi ahin hetdoh u chun alung kidang lheh jengun ahi.Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.

4“Lungset tah in, hung kikhin naijun,” ati. Hichun ama hon ahin nailut tauve. Chuin aseikit in “Keima hi Joseph, nasopi pau, Egypt gam'a najoh pau chu kahi.Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!

5Ahin tija hih un, chule keima hilaimun a neijohdoh jeh uva nangho le nang hon kilunghan jong bol hih un. Ajeh chu nangho hinkho huhdohna dinga Pathen'in hilai mun a hi eina sol masah joh ahi bouve.And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.

6Hiche gamsung a hi kumni bou kel hah hung kipan bep ahin, kum nga sung jen avat nalaiye.For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.

7Pathen'in nangho huhdoh dinga eina sol masat joh ahi, nangho le na insung mite thilouva lei chunga achi amanna louding ahi.God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8Hiche chu nang hon nabol'u ahipon, Pathen'in eina masol joh ahi! Chule Pathen'in Pharaoh hilthei ding ama lenggam Egypt gamsunga semanga pang kahitai.Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9“Tun gangtah in cheuvin lang kapa gaseipeh loiyun lang 'Nachapa Joseph in aseiye: Pathen'in Egypt gamsunga vaipo lenpenin eipansah tai. Hijeh chun kakom'a hungsuh loiyin!Now return quickly 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 without delay.

10Keima toh kinai cha a nachate le natute jouse, na gancha ho le nanei nagou jouseu pum'a Goshen gamsunga na chen theiyu ahi.You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.

11Hikom'a chu keiman kavetsui diu ahi, ijeh inem itile kellhahna ding hi kum nga jen aum nalaiye. Achuti louva ahile na insung pumpiu leh na gancha ho jouseuvin an angol diu ahi.'”And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’

12Hichun Joseph in athusei ajom in “Veuvin! Nang hon neimu chen uva sopi Benjamin in jong nei hetchenna din, keima Joseph chu kahi! ati.Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.

13Cheuvin lang Egypt gamsunga jabolna changa kaum hi kapa Jacob chu gaseipeh loiyun, thil namu jouseu seipeh un, chule aganna thei chanin hilanga hin puiyun,” ati.Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”

14Hichun Joseph in Benjamin chu angong koiyin akaptai, chuti ma chun Benjamin'in jong akoiyin akaptai.Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.

15Joseph in asopi ho chengse chu kappumin achop sohkeijin ahi, chujou chun ama hon chamlhat tah in akihoulimpi pan tauve.Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.

16“Joseph sopi ho ahunglhung tauve!” tithu chu Pharaoh leng inpi a gangtah in alhung tan, ama hon jong akipapi lheh un ahi.When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.

17Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph kom'a aseijin, “Na sopi ho chu seipeh in gangtah in na sangan chung uva napot hou chu hengdoh unlang gangtah in Canaan gama kinungle loiyun,” ati.Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.

18Chule napa ahin adang insung mite jouse keima kom'a hin lepui loiyun Egypt gamsunga aphapen kapeh diu nahi; chule agam gasoh ahoipen naneh diu ahi,” ati.Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’

19Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph kom'a asei in, “Na sopiho chu seipeh tan ama hon kangtalai chu kipuiyu henlang chapang ho le a jite ho'u chule napa'u chu kaheng'a hin puiyun.You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.

20Nang hon nathil nei hou chu lunggimpi da tauvin, ajeh chu Egypt gamsunga ahoipen aphapen jouse nangho a ahitai,” ati.But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21Hichun Jacob chaten amaho thu kiseipeh bang chun abol'un, Pharaoh in aphatsah le athupeh dungjuijin Joseph in jong kangtalai ho chu agontup peh in, chule lamkah a neh le chah ding jong agontup peh in ahi.So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.

22Chule aman asopiho chu vonthah apecheh in, Benjamin vang chu golvah von nga chule dangka sum-eng jathum toh apen ahi.He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.

23Joseph in apa din sangan chal som a Egypt gamsunga atui aphapen ho jouse apohsah in chule sangan anu som chu ahung kitol tengu leh lamkah a akihinso theina diuvin changlhah dimset apohsah un ahi.And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.

24Hichun Joseph in asopiho chu alhadoh in, amaho akipatdoh ding kon un, Joseph in amaho chu availhah in “Lampi najot lai un nangho kinapa hih un!” ati.Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”

25Chuin ama hon Egypt chu adalhauvin Canaan gam lang apa Jacob kom'a akile kit tauve.So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

26Ama hon apau chu aseipeh un hitin atiuve, “Joseph ahing nalaiye!” Chule Egypt gam pumpia vaipoa khu ama hijah ahi!” atiuve. Ahinah vang chun Jacob in la amaho atahsan loujeh in alungthim akiloh dehpoi.“Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.

27Ahin ama hon Joseph thusei chu avel vel in apau chu aseipeh un, chule Joseph in apa pohna dinga kangtalai chu agahven amu phat in apau Jacob lhagao chu akidodoh kittai.However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.

28Hichun Jacob in aphongdoh tai, “Ka chapa Joseph ahing nalaiye! Atah hinte! Ka hinkho bei masang'a kaga kimupi ding ahi,” ati.“Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
