Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
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.
1Joseph mah angmah ih im khenzawnkung khaeah, nihcae a phawh o thai thung, cang to phawsak ah loe, cang qanhaih phoisa to angmacae dip thungah pacaeng pae boih let ah, tiah a thuih pae.
2And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
2To pacoengah kai ih boengloeng, sum kanglung hoi sak ih boengloeng to, kanawk koek ih dip thungah cang a qanhaih phoisa hoi nawnto pacaeng paeh, tiah a naa. Joseph mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah anih mah sak.
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
3Khawnbang khodai naah loe nihcae to, angmacae ih laa hrang hoi nawnto patoeh.
4And when they were gone out of the city, and 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?
4Nihcae vangpui thung hoi tacawt o moe, nasetto kangthla ah doeh caeh o ai vop, to naah Joseph mah angmah ih im khenzawn kami khaeah, to kaminawk to patom ah loe, na kae naah, nihcae khaeah, Tipongah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah nang pathok o loe?
5Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
5Tih hanah ka angraeng mah tui naek naah patoh ih, a boengloeng to na paquk o loe? To boengloeng loe kaom han koi hmuen khet naah patoh ih boengloeng ah oh, na sak o ih hmuen hae hoih ai, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
6¶ And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
6Anih mah nihcae to kae naah, a thuisak ih lok baktih toengah nihcae khaeah a thuih pae.
7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
7Toe nihcae mah, Tikhoe ka angraeng loe to tiah lokthuih loe? Na tamnanawk loe to baktih hmuen to ka sah o mak ai.
8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
8Khenah, dip thungah ka hnuk o ih phoisa mataeng doeh, Kanaan prae thung hoiah kang sin o let bae; kawbang maw na angraeng im ih phoisa hoi sui to ka paqu o halat tih?
9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
9Na tamnanawk thungah mi kawbaktih ih dip thungah doeh to hmuen to na hnuk nahaeloe, anih to dueh nasoe; kalah kaicae boih loe ka angraeng ih tamna ah ka oh o han, tiah a naa o.
10And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
10Anih mah, Na thuih o ih lok baktiah om nasoe, mi kawbaktih ih dip thungah doeh boengloeng to ka hnuk nahaeloe, anih to ka tamna ah om nasoe, kalah kaminawk loe loih o tih, tiah a naa.
11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
11To pacoengah long ah karangah amtik o moe, angmacae ih dip to paongh o boih.
12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
12Im toepkung mah kacoeh ih hmuen hoi kanawk ih hmuen khoek to pakrong pae bit; to naah Benjamin ih dip thungah boegloeng to a hnuk.
13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
13To naah nihcae loe laihaw to asih o moe, laa hrang nuiah hmuennawk to thuengh o pacoengah, vangpui ah amlaem o let.
14¶ And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
14Judah hoi nawkamyanawk Joseph imthung ah akun o naah, Joseph loe imthung ah oh vop, nihcae loe anih hmaa ah long ah akuep o.
15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
15Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah na oh o loe? Na sak o ih hmuen ka panoek mak ai, tiah na poek o maw? tiah a naa.
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 servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
16Judah mah anih khaeah, Ka angraeng khaeah timaw ka thuih o han boeh? Timaw ka thuih o han vop? Kawbang maw toenghaih kam tueng o sak han? Na tamnanawk ih zaehaih Sithaw mah amtuengsak boeh; khenah, kaicae loe nang ih tamna ah ni ka oh o han boeh, kaicae hoi boengloeng phawkung loe na tamna ah ka oh o han boeh, tiah a naa.
17And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
17Toe Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, To baktih hmuen to ka sah mak ai; boengloeng phawkung khue ni kai ih tamna ah om tih; kalah boih loe nam pa khaeah lunghoihta hoiah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
18¶ Then 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.
18Judah mah anih khaeah caeh moe, Aw, ka angraeng, ka angraeng khaeah lok pakha to mah na thuisak raeh, nang loe Faro hoi kangvan ah na oh; toe na tamna nuiah palungphuisak hma raeh.
19My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
19Ka angraeng nang mah, Nam pa hoi nam nawk na tawnh o vop maw? tiah nang dueng.
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.
20Kaicae mah ka angraeng khaeah, Kam pa loe oh vop, anih loe mitong boeh moe, mitong lam ah sak ih capa maeto oh vop; anih ih amya loe duek boeh; amno ih capanawk thungah anih khue ni anghmat boeh; anih loe ampa mah paroeai palung, tiah kang thuih o.
21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
21To naah nang mah na tamnanawk khaeah, Kai khaeah angzo o haih ah, hnuk han ka koeh toeng, tiah na thuih.
22And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
22Kaicae mah ka angraeng nang khaeah, Nawkta loe ampa hoi ampraek thai ai, anih mah caeh taak nahaeloe, kam pa loe dueh tih, tiah kang thuih o.
23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
23Toe nang mah na tamnanawk khaeah, Asoi koek nam nawk to nang zo o haih tathuk ai nahaeloe, ka mikhmai nang hnu o let mak ai boeh, tiah nang thuih.
24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
24Na tamnanawk kam pa khaeah ka caeh o let naah, ka angraeng nang mah nang thuih ih loknawk to ka thuih pae o boih.
25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
25To naah kam pa mah, Caeh o let ah loe, cang na qan pae o let ah, tiah ang naa.
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.
26Toe kaicae mah, Ka caeh o tathuk let mak ai; asoi koek kam nawk angzoh naah ni ka caeh o thai tih; asoi koek kam nawk to om ai nahaeloe, to kami ih mikhmai to ka hnu o let thai mak ai boeh, tiah ka naa o.
27And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
27Na tamna ih ampa mah, Ka zu mah caa hnetto ang sak pae, tito na panoek o.
28And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
28Maeto loe kai khae hoiah caeh ving boeh pongah, Anih loe moi kasan mah taprawt pet pet boeh mue, tiah kang naa o. To pacoeng hoiah loe anih to ka hnu let ai boeh.
29And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
29Anih hae na lak o let moe, kasae tongh moeng nahaeloe, palungset loiah ka lu nui ih sampok hoiah ni nawnto taprong thungah nang thak o tih boeh, tiah ang naa.
30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
30To pongah vaihi, nawkta hae hoi ai ah, na tamna mah kam pa khaeah ka caeh let nahaeloe, nawkta hinghaih hoi amhoe thai ai kam pa mah,
31It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us , that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
31nawkta to khet hawk moe, kaicae hoi nawnto nawkta angzo ai, tiah panoek nahaeloe, anih loe dueh roep tih boeh; na tamnanawk mah palungset loiah anih lu nui ih sampok to taprong thungah ka laem o sak moeng tih.
32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
32Na tamna kai mah nawkta to ngancuem ah kang zoh haih let han hmang, tiah ka thuih pae boeh; anih to kang zo haih let ai nahaeloe, ka hing thung kam pa hmaa ah kasae thuihaih ka phawh han hmang, tiah lok ka thuih boeh.
33Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
33To pongah vaihi nawkta zuengah kai hae na tamna ah ka oh han, nawkta loe amyanawk hoi nawnto amlaemsak ah.
34For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
34Nawkta om ai ah, kawbang maw kam pa khaeah kam laem let thai tih? To tih ai nahaeloe, kam pa nuiah kapha raihaih to ka hnu moeng tih, tiah a naa.
