1Te phoeiah a im kah te a uen tih, “Hlang rhoek kah sungkoi te cang a phueih rhoeh ah sang pa lamtah tangka te sungkoi kah a rhai ah rhip khueh pah.
1And he commanded the steward of his house, saying: 'Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
2Tedae kai kah bunang khuikah ngun bunang te a poeih kah sungkoi khui ah khueh pah lamtah amah kah cang neh tangka khaw hmaih sang pah,” a ti nah dongah Joseph kah ol a thui bangla a saii van.
2And put my goblet, the silver goblet, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.' And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
3Mincang khothaih nen tah hlang rhoek te amamih kah laak neh khaw vawl a tueih uh.
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4Amih loh khopuei te a hla lamkah hawt a khum vaengah Joseph loh a im om te, “Thoo, hlang rhoek te a hnukah hloem lamtah na kae vaengah amih te, 'Balae tih a then te boethae neh na thuung uh?
4And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward: 'Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them: Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
5Ka boeipa kah a tui ok te he moenih a? Te lamkah la anih a hma khaw a hma dae. Anih taengkah na saii uh te na lolh uh coeng, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
5Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.'
6Te dongah amih te a kae vanneh hekah olka he a thui pah.
6And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these words.
7Tedae amih loh, “Ka boeipa tebang olka te ba ham lae a thui. Na sal rhoek loh tebang hno a saii ham khaw savisava la.
7And they said unto him: 'Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing.
8Kaimih loh sungkoi so kah tangka ka hmuh uh te Kanaan kho lamkah nang taengla kam bal puei uh atah metlamlae na boei im kah ngun neh sui te tarha ka huen uh eh.
8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought back unto thee out of the land of Canaan; how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
9Na sal rhoek khuiah u taeng mai ah khaw a om atah duek saeh lamtah kaimih khaw ka boeipa taengah sal la ka om uh eh,” a ti uh.
9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.'
10Te dongah Joseph im om loh, “Then, nangmih kah olthui vanbangla u khaw a taengah aka om hlang van te tah kai taengah sal la om saeh lamtah nangmih te ommongsitoe la na om uh ni,” a ti nah.
10And he said: 'Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless.'
11Te dongah sungkoi te a loe la diklai ah rhip a hal uh tih rhip a ong uh.
11Then they hastened, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12Te dongah a ham taeng lamkah a tong tih a tlap te a poeih taengla a khah vaengah bunang te Benjamin kah sungkoi dongah a hmuh.
12And he searched, beginning at the eldest, and leaving off at the youngest; and the goblet was found in Benjamin's sack.
13Te vaengah a himbai te a phen uh tih laak dongah hno rhip a tloeng uh tih khopuei la koep bal uh.
13And they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
14Tedae Judah neh amah boeinaphung loh im a pha vaengah Joseph khaw a om pueng dongah a hmai ah diklai la bakop uh.
14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house, and he was yet there; and they fell before him on the ground.
15Te vaengah Joseph loh ba bibi lae na saii uh he. Kai bang hlang he hma khaw hma tila, na ming uh moenih a?,” a ti nah.
15And Joseph said unto them: 'What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I will indeed divine?'
16Te vaengah Judah loh, “Ka boeipa taengah mebang ka thui tih metla ka cal vaengah lae ka tang uh eh. Na sal rhoek kathaesainah khaw Pathen loh a yan oeh coeng dongah kaimih khaw, a kut dongkah bunang a hmuh pah hlang nen te ka boeipa taengah sal ka bi uh van mai pawn ni ta,” a ti nah.
16And Judah said: 'What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.'
17Tedae Joseph loh, “Hekah he kai loh ka saii ham te savisava, a kut dongah bunang a hmuh hlang te kai taengah sal la om ngawn saeh lamtah nangmih te na pa taengah ngaimong la bal uh ngawn,” a ti nah.
17And he said: 'Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the goblet is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.'
18Tedae Judah te anih taengla thoeih tih, “Aw ka boeipa kai aih he, na salpa khaw ka boeipa kah hna kaep ah olka bet ka thui dae ni. Tedae nang tah Pharaoh banghui la na om dongah na salpa taengah na thintoek te sai sak boel mai.
18Then Judah came near unto him, and said: 'Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19Ka boeipa loh a sal rhoek he, 'Na pa neh na mana om a?,” a ti tih n'dawt.
19My lord asked his servants, saying: Have ye a father, or a brother?
20Te dongah, “Ka boeipa la a pa khaw patong coeng tih a patong soi kah a cun capa a poeih te om. Tedae a manu pakhat kah a cun hmaih khuiah a maya te duek tih anih amah bueng la te a cul dongah a napa loh a lungnah,’ ka ti uh.
20And we said unto my lord: We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
21Te vaengah na sal rhoek he, 'Anih te ka mik ah ka khueh van ham khaw kai taengla han khuen thuk,’ na ti.
21And thou saidst unto thy servants: Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22Te vaengah ka boeipa la, 'Camoe loh a napa a caehtak ham tah coeng pawh. Caehtak koinih a napa te duek ni, ' ka ti uh.
22And we said unto my lord: The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23Tedae na sal rhoek la, 'Na mana a poeih te nan suntlak puei pawt atah kai maelhmai hmuh ham khoep uh boeh,’ na ti.
23And thou saidst unto thy servants: Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24Te dongah na sal rhoek he a pa taengla ka pawk uh vanneh ka boeipa kah olka te anih taengla ka puen uh.
24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25Te dongah a pa loh, 'Mah ham khaw caak bet vawn uh bal dae,’ a ti nah.
25And our father said: Go again, buy us a little food.
26Te vaengah, “Kaimih taengah ka mana a poeih om pawt koinih hlang maelhmai hmuh ham a coeng pawt dongah, 'Ka mana a poeih loh kaimih taengah a om pawt mai ah ka caeh uh ham coeng pawh tedae halo atah ka cet uh ni,’ ka ti uh.
26And we said: We cannot go down; if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
27Te vaengah na sal rhoek he a pa loh, 'Ka yuu loh kai ham panit han sak te nangmih long khaw na ming uh.
27And thy servant my father said unto us: Ye know that my wife bore me two sons;
28Tedae pakhat he kai taeng lamloh cet coeng. Te dongah, 'A ngaeh ngawn a ngaeh tang coeng,’ ka ti. Te dongah ni tahae due anih te ka hmu pawh.
28and the one went out from me, and I said: Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since;
29Anih he khaw ka mikhmuh lamkah na khuen uh tih anih loh yoethae puei bal koinih kai sampok he saelkhui ah a thae la nan hla uh ve,’ a ti.
29and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
30Te dongah na sal kai loh a pa taeng ka pha tih kaimih taengah camoe amah te om pawt koinih a hinglu neh a hinglu te a hlaengtang uh rhoi dongah,
30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his soul is bound up with the lad's soul;
31camoe te hah a sawt vaengah duek koinih na sal rhoek loh a pa sampok na sal te saelkhui ah kothae la ka hlak uh la vik poeh ni.
31it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
32Na salpa loh camoe te a pa taengah rhi ka khang tih, 'Anih he nang taengla kam pawk puei pawt atah a pa taengah hnin takuem ka tholh ka phueih bitni,’ ka ti nah.
32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying: If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever.
33Te dongah na salpa he camoe yueng ah ka boeipa kah sal la ka om mai saeh lamtah camoe te a maya rhoek neh bal sak mai.
33Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34Camoe kamah nen pawt koinih a pa taengah metlam caeh eh? A pa taengah yoethae a hmuh man ka hmuh lah ve,” a ti nah.
34For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I look upon the evil that shall come on my father.'
