Suencuek 44
1 Te 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.
And he commands him who [is] over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
2 Tedae 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.
and my cup, the silver cup, you put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his grain-money”; and he does according to the word of Joseph which he has spoken.
3 Mincang khothaih nen tah hlang rhoek te amamih kah laak neh khaw vawl a tueih uh.
The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
4 Amih 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?
they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph has said to him who [is] over his house, “Rise, pursue after the men; and you have overtaken them, and you have said to them: Why have you repaid evil for good?
5 Ka 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.
Is this not that with which my lord drinks? And he observes diligently with it; you have done evil [in] that which you have done.”
6 Te dongah amih te a kae vanneh hekah olka he a thui pah.
And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
7 Tedae amih loh, “Ka boeipa tebang olka te ba ham lae a thui. Na sal rhoek loh tebang hno a saii ham khaw savisava la.
and they say to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word;
8 Kaimih 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.
behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back to you from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of your lord silver or gold?
9 Na 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.
With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
10 Te 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.
And he says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;
11 Te dongah sungkoi te a loe la diklai ah rhip a hal uh tih rhip a ong uh.
and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
12 Te 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.
and he searches—at the eldest he has begun, and at the youngest he has completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;
13 Te vaengah a himbai te a phen uh tih laak dongah hno rhip a tloeng uh tih khopuei la koep bal uh.
and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
14 Tedae Judah neh amah boeinaphung loh im a pha vaengah Joseph khaw a om pueng dongah a hmai ah diklai la bakop uh.
And Judah and his brothers come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;
15 Te 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.
and Joseph says to them, “What [is] this deed that you have done? Have you not known that a man like me diligently observes?”
16 Te 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.
And Judah says, “What do we say to my lord? What do we speak? And how do we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found”;
17 Tedae 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.
and he says, “Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup has been found, he becomes my servant; and you, go up in peace to your father.”
18 Tedae 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.
And Judah comes near to him and says, “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant—for you are as Pharaoh.
19 Ka boeipa loh a sal rhoek he, 'Na pa neh na mana om a?,” a ti tih n'dawt.
My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
20 Te 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.
And we say to my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father has loved him.
21 Te vaengah na sal rhoek he, 'Anih te ka mik ah ka khueh van ham khaw kai taengla han khuen thuk,’ na ti.
And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
22 Te vaengah ka boeipa la, 'Camoe loh a napa a caehtak ham tah coeng pawh. Caehtak koinih a napa te duek ni, ' ka ti uh.
and we say to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he has left his father, then he has died;
23 Tedae na sal rhoek la, 'Na mana a poeih te nan suntlak puei pawt atah kai maelhmai hmuh ham khoep uh boeh,’ na ti.
and you say to your servants, If your young brother does not come down with you, you do not add to see my face.
24 Te dongah na sal rhoek he a pa taengla ka pawk uh vanneh ka boeipa kah olka te anih taengla ka puen uh.
And it comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
25 Te dongah a pa loh, 'Mah ham khaw caak bet vawn uh bal dae,’ a ti nah.
and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
26 Te 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.
and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man’s face, and our young brother not with us.
27 Te vaengah na sal rhoek he a pa loh, 'Ka yuu loh kai ham panit han sak te nangmih long khaw na ming uh.
And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
28 Tedae 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.
and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
29 Anih 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. (Sheol h7585)
when you have taken also this from my presence, and harm has met him, then you have brought down my grey hairs with evil to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
30 Te 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,
And now, at my coming to your servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
31 camoe 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. (Sheol h7585)
then it has come to pass, when he sees that the youth is not, that he has died, and your servants have brought down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol; (Sheol h7585)
32 Na 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.
for your servant obtained the youth by guarantee to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you—then I have sinned against my father all the days.
33 Te 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.
And now, please let your servant abide instead of the youth [as] a servant to my lord, and the youth goes up with his brothers,
34 Camoe kamah nen pawt koinih a pa taengah metlam caeh eh? A pa taengah yoethae a hmuh man ka hmuh lah ve,” a ti nah.
for how do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds my father.”
