¹Huan, Jakob a pa mikhuala a omna gam, Kanan gamah, a om a.

¹And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

²Hiaite Jakob suante ahi uh: Joseph, kum sawm leh kum sagih a upa ahihin, a ute toh ganhon a khak ua; amah naupang ahi laia, a pa jite Bilha leh Zilpa tapate kiangah a om a; huan, Joseph in a gitlouh thuthang uh a pa uh kiangah a tun a.

²These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.

³Huan, Israel in Joseph, a teklam ta ahihjiakin a tate tengteng sangin a it jaw a: huchiin, puannak tual ze tuamtuam a gial abawl saka.

³Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.

⁴Huan, a pa un amah bel a ute tengteng sangin a it jaw chih a uten ana theita ua; huchiin, amah amudah mahmah uh, kam hoih himhim in a houpih thei takei uhi.

⁴And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.

⁵Juan, Joseph in mang a neia, a ute a hilha: huchiin, amah a mudah semsem uh.

⁵And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

⁶Huan, aman, a kiang uah, hehpihtakin ka mang thu ngai dih uh:

⁶And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

⁷Ngai un, lou ah buhphalte I na gak ua, huan, ngai un, kei buhphal a hong thou a, a ding nemnom a; huan, ngai un, nou buhphalten a hong um ua, kei buhphal chibai a buk chiat uh, achia.

⁷For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

⁸Huan, a uten, a kiangah, nang soplaiin ka tunguah vai na hawm mahmah ding maw? Nang soplaiin ka tunguah thu na nei mahmah ding maw? achi ua. Huchiin, a mang jiakin amah a mudah semsem uh.

⁸And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

⁹Huan, mang dang a nei nawn a, a ute ahilh nawna, ngai un, mang ka nei nawna; ngai un, ni khawng, kha khawng, aksi sawm leh khat ten chibai a honna buk zenhouh uh ka chi, achia.

⁹And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

¹⁰Huan, a pa a hilh a, a ute leng; huchiin, a pan a tai a, akiangah, mang na neih bangchi mang ahia? Kei leh na nu leh na uten leisiin chibai kon buk mahmah ding u maw? Achia.

¹⁰And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

¹¹Huan, a uten amah a haja ua; a pa bel a thugen a lungsim in apai nilouh hi.

¹¹And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

¹²Huan, a ute Sekem ah apa uh ganhon khak in ahoh ua.

¹²And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

¹³Huan, Israel in, Joseph kiangah, na uten Sekem ah a hina maw ganhon a khak uh? Hongpai dih, a kiang uah ka honsawl ding, achia.

¹³And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.

¹⁴Huan, aman, a kiangah, na ute a dam dam na uhiam, ganhon leng a dam dam na uhiam ve en inla, a tanchin uh honghilh nawnin, achia. Huchiin, Hebron guam a kipan a sawl khia a, huan, aman Sekem a vapha hi.

¹⁴And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

¹⁵Huan, mi kuahiam in amah a mua, ngaiin, pawn ah a vakvak a: huchiin, miin, bang zong na hia? chiin, a donga.

¹⁵And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

¹⁶Huan, aman, Ka ute zong ka hi: hehpihtakin, ganhon a khah na uh honhilh ve, a chi a.

¹⁶And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.

¹⁷Huan, miin, hiai akipana pawt hive un: Dothan ah I hoh ding uh, a chih uh ka ja, achia. Huan, Joseph in a ute a delh a, Dothan ah a vamu hi.

¹⁷And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

¹⁸Huan, amau, gamla pia kipan a na gal muh ua, huchiin, a kiang nai uh a tun main, amah thah ding thu a phial uhi.

¹⁸And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

¹⁹Huan, amau, En un, mang neipa a hong.

¹⁹And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

²⁰Khai, I that dia, kokhuk khatah I khe ding uh, huan, sahangin a kei, chi nani; huchiin a mangte bangchi bangin a oma chih I thei mai ding uh, a kichi ua.

²⁰Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

²¹Reuben in huai a na jaa, a khut ua kipanin a hong kheta; a thah jaw I that tel kei ding uh, a chi a.

²¹And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

²²Huan, Reuben mahin, apa uh kianga pi theihna dinga a khut ua kipana a hotkhiak theihna dingin, a kiang uah, sisan jaw suah kei un, gamdai ah kokhuk ah khia unla, khut jaw a tungah kha kei un, a chi hi.

²²And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.

²³Huan, hichi ahi a, Joseph a ute kiang a tunin, Joseph a puannaktual, a puannaktual ze tuamtuama gial a silh, a na suahsak uh;

²³And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;

²⁴Huan, a pi ua, kokhuk ah a kheta uhi: kokhuk a vuak ahi, tui om nawn louhna ahi.

²⁴And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

²⁵Huan, an ne dingin a tu chiat ua: huan, a dak ua, a en ua; huan, ngaiin, Ismael khualzinte Gilead gam akipana a sangawngsau ua banghiam namtui leh singnai damdawi leh murra pua Aigupta gam a paisuk dingte a hong pai ua.

²⁵And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

²⁶Huan, Juda in a unaute kiangah, I nau uh I thah ua, a sisan suak I im un bang phattuamna om ding ahia?

²⁶And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

²⁷Khai, a tunga khut kha louin, Ismael te kiangah I juak zo ding uh; amah lah I nau uh, I sa ngeingei uh lah ahi ngala, a chi a. Huan, a unauten a thu a juita uh.

²⁷Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

²⁸Huan, Midiante, sumsinte, a hong pai ua; huchiin Joseph kokhuk akipan a dok khia ua, Ismael te kiangah Joseph dangka sawm nih in a khawngta uhi. Huan, Joseph Aigupta gamah a pi uh.

²⁸Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

²⁹Huan, Reuben kokhuk ah a hongpai nawna, huan, ngaiin, Joseph kokhuk ah a na om ta kei a: huchiin, a puansilhte a botkekta hi.

²⁹And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

³⁰Huan, a naute kiangah a hoh nawna, I nau uh a om nawn kei; kei koi a paita ding ka hia oi? A chi a.

³⁰And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

³¹Huan, Joseph puannaktual a la ua, keltal a gou ua, a si-ah a puannaktual a diah uh;

³¹And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

³²Huan, puannaktual ze tuamtuama gial akhak ua, a pa uh kiangah a honla ua; huan, hiai lel ka mu ua, na tapa puannaktual ahi hia, hi lou en dih, a chi ua.

³²And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

³³Huan, aman a na thei paha, Ka tapa puannaktual ei ve; sahangin kei eive; Joseph boh nen veka om hi mahmah ding eive, a chi a.

³³And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

³⁴Huchiin, Jakob in a puansilhte a bot kek a, saiip puan a tenga, ni sawtpi a tapa a sun hi.

³⁴And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

³⁵Huan, a tapate tengteng leh tanute tengteng amah lungmuang dingin a thou ua; himahleh aman lungmuang a ut kei a; sun kawmin han ah ka tapa kiangah mual ka khum ding, a chi a.Huchiin, amah ngaiin apa a kapkap hi. Huan, Midian ten Joseph bel Aigupta gamah a lut pih ua, Pharo nuaia heutu khat vengmi pawl heutu Potiphar kiangah a khawng uh.

³⁵And 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 into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

³⁶Huchiin, amah ngaiin apa a kapkap hi. Huan, Midian ten Joseph bel Aigupta gamah a lut pih ua, Pharo nuaia heutu khat vengmi pawl heutu Potiphar kiangah a khawng uh.

³⁶And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
