Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
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.
2Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
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.
3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
3Mincang khothaih nen tah hlang rhoek te amamih kah laak neh khaw vawl a tueih uh.
4When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?
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?
5Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
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.
6He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
6Te dongah amih te a kae vanneh hekah olka he a thui pah.
7They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!
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.
8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
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.
9With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
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.
10He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
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.
11Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
11Te dongah sungkoi te a loe la diklai ah rhip a hal uh tih rhip a ong uh.
12He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s 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.
13Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
13Te vaengah a himbai te a phen uh tih laak dongah hno rhip a tloeng uh tih khopuei la koep bal uh.
14Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.
14Tedae Judah neh amah boeinaphung loh im a pha vaengah Joseph khaw a om pueng dongah a hmai ah diklai la bakop uh.
15Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”
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.
16Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
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.
17He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
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.
18Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
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.
19My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’
19Ka boeipa loh a sal rhoek he, 'Na pa neh na mana om a?,” a ti tih n'dawt.
20We said to 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 loves him.’
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.
21You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
21Te vaengah na sal rhoek he, 'Anih te ka mik ah ka khueh van ham khaw kai taengla han khuen thuk,’ na ti.
22We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
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.
23You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
23Tedae na sal rhoek la, 'Na mana a poeih te nan suntlak puei pawt atah kai maelhmai hmuh ham khoep uh boeh,’ na ti.
24When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
24Te dongah na sal rhoek he a pa taengla ka pawk uh vanneh ka boeipa kah olka te anih taengla ka puen uh.
25Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’
25Te dongah a pa loh, 'Mah ham khaw caak bet vawn uh bal dae,’ a ti nah.
26We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
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.
27Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
27Te vaengah na sal rhoek he a pa loh, 'Ka yuu loh kai ham panit han sak te nangmih long khaw na ming uh.
28One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.
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.
29If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’
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.
30Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;
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,
31it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol.
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.
32For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’
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.
33Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
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.
34For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
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.
