And he commanded him who was over his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry; and put every man's money in the mouth of his sack.
2 Chuteng le keima sum eng cha khon chu alhumpen pa dipsunga achung tho pena koi jun chule chang choh na dinga sum ahin kipoh toh chun koi than, hiti chun insung lhacha pan jong Joseph in asei bang chun aboltan ahi.
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain-money. And he did according to the word of Joseph which he had spoken.
3 Jingkah matah in akipat doh un ache tauve, a sangan ho jong vumlet set in neh ding apon alampiu majon ding in asol tauve.
In the morning, when it was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4 Amaho chu khopia kon chun achedoh nauvin gamla pi agei masang uvin Joseph in jong ainsung thil chingpa jah a chun, “kipat doh in lang miho nung chu del loiyin, amaho chu naphah teng le ajah uva, “Ipi ding pen tah a ka phat nau thilpha chu git louva na lethuh u-hitam ong? Ipi dinga keima dangka khon chu nana guh mangu ham?
They were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, when Joseph said to him who was over his house, Up! follow after the men; and when thou overtakest them, thou shalt say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
5 Nangho hin ibola kapupa sum eng cha khon na guh'u hitam? Aman hiche chu aman chah a thil ahung lhung ding ho hetna a aneiji ahi; nanghon thilpha loutah na boldoh'u hi talou ham ati.
Is not this [it] in which my lord drinks, and in which indeed he divines? Ye have done evil [in] what ye have done.
6 Insung lhacha pan amaho chu amat tup jouvin hitin aseitai.
And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
7 Amahon amapa koma hi tin aseiuve, “Keima ho hi na soh ka hiuvin, chule keima hon hitobang chu ka bol lou beh ding'u ahi,” ati.
And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from thy servants to do such a thing!
8 Ven keiho Canaan gam'a patna sum dangka chu kahin ki choi cheh nauve, chule kadip sung uva ana umho chu ka Pakai pa in na kona kei hon iti dana sum eng chakhon chu ka guh doh thei diu ham atiuve.
Behold, the money that we found in our sacks' mouths we have brought again to thee from the land of Canaan; and how should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
9 Nasohte lah a koi hijongle ala ana umtah le ama jong chu thidoh maita hen, chule keiho jong ka pakai pa koma soh chang ding kahi tauve.
With whomsoever of thy servants it is found, let him die; and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
10 Hiche chu apha lheh jenge tin ama pan adonbut e, “Hinlah ka chakhon gupa bou chu ka soh a pang ding ahi ati tai, adangho vang imacha kalo louding adangho che tauvin,” ati.
And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according to your words: let him with whom it is found be my bondman, but ye shall be blameless.
11 Amahon gangtah in adip hou chu sangan chunga kon in adom lha uvin ahong doh un ahi.
And they hasted and laid down every man his sack on the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12 Hiphat chun insung lhacha pan alenpen apat in aneo pen pa gei in adip sung ahin kholtan ahile sum eng chakhon chu Benjamin dipsunga ahin mudoh tan ahi.
And he searched carefully: he began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Hichun ama hon a sangkhol'u abot tel tel tauvin, apot hou chu a sangan chunga aheng doh kit un, khopi lam ahin nung jot kit tauve.
Then they rent their clothes, and loaded every man his ass, and they returned to the city.
14 Judah le asopi ho ahung lhun u chun Joseph chu a in na ana umna laiye, chule amaho Joseph masanga tol ah abohkhup tauvin ahi.
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; and he was still there; and they fell down before him to the ground.
15 Chuin Joseph in amaho jah a aseiyin, “Ipi ham nanghon na bol'u hi? Nang hon na het lou'u ham hitobang mihem ho hi keiman amaho khonung ding kasei thei ahi,” ati.
And Joseph said to them, What deed is this which ye have done? Did ye not know that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16 Hichun Judah in asei tai, “Ipi ka sei dingu hitam? keima ho iti them ka kichan diu hitam Pathen in nasohte chonsetna hohi ahin het dohsah ahi tai. Hijeh chun keiho ka boncha uva sum eng chakhon kimat doh na pa toh ka pakai pa soh a pang ding ka hitauve.
And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak, and how justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's bondmen, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found.
17 Hinlah Joseph in adonbut in, “Hiche ho chu keiya kon in kigam lhat maihen, keiman bolda jeng inge, hiche pasal pa ka khon kimu doh na pa bou chu kasoh a pang ding, adang se sevang damsel in napa koma nung che tauvin,” ati.
And he said, Far be it from me to do so! The man in whose hand the cup has been found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
18 Hichun Judah aphei chen aseitai, “Lungset tah in ka pakai koma nasoh pan thu chang khat tou kasei thei ding ham? lungset tah in nei lunghan khum hih in, nangma Pharaoh toh nalal na lhon jong ki bang ahitan;
Then Judah came near to him, and said, Ah! 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.
19 Ka pakai pan phat masa chun nasohte ho nei dong uvin, nangma hon sopi nanei juvem ahiloule na pa'u umnalai em natin,
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 Chuin keima hon ka donbut un, henge ka pakai pa ka tiuvin kapa'u jong adam nalaiye ahin amavang ateh lheh tai ka tiuve, chule achapa aneopen pachu ateh jou nungsanga ahin ahi. Asopipa jong athi tan, amabou chu anu sunga hing doh ahin, hijeh a chu apan jong hatah a angailut ahi,” ati.
And we said to my lord, We have an aged father, and a child born to him in his old age, [yet] young; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.
21 Nangman thu neina peh jal a amapa chu hinpui un keiman kamit taha kamu nom e natin;
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set mine eye on him.
22 Ahin keima hon kana donbut un, ka pakai pa'u chu hiche chapang chun apa adalha thei poi ajeh chu apa thilo thei ahi.
And we said to my lord, The youth cannot leave his father: if he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
23 Ahin nangman thu neina mop kit un, nasopi pa'u alhum pen pa ahung tokah a nanghon kamai namu kitlou dingu ahitai nati.
And thou saidst to thy servants, Unless your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24 Hichun keiho kaki nungle un, na sohpa kapa'u kom lang a ka pakai pa uvin thugah na neisei peh hou chu ama koma ka na lhut tauve.
And it came to pass when we came up to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 Hichun ka paovin eidonbut un, ‘Keima ho kache thei lou dingu ahi na chapa alhum pen pa ache lou dingle kasopiu alhumpen Benjamin ajao lou le ei kimu pi lou dingu ahi.
And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
But we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.
27 Hichun nalhacha pa kapa uvin hitin aseiye, nangma hon nahe uvin ka loinu Rachel in cha ni eihin peh in ahi.
And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two [sons];
28 Chule amani lah a khat pa eida lhatan ahung ki nungle tapon; gamsa hon ahal hal a abotel ding in ginmo aum lheh tan, hiche apatna chun tugei hin kamu kha tapoi ati.
and the one went out from me, and I said, He must certainly have been torn in pieces; and I have not seen him [again] hitherto.
29 Tua amapa asopipa hi na puidoh uva boina hahsat na hintoh le tua kasam kan jouva thina lunghem na nei tosah kit diu ahi,’ ati. (Sheol h7585)
And if ye take this one also from me, and mischief should befall him, ye will bring down my grey hairs with misery to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
30 Tun ka pakai keima kapa henga hiche chapang jao lou vin ki nungle thei pong kate ati, ajeh chu kapa'u hinkho le hiche chapang pa hinkho hi aman khom lhon ahiye.
And now, when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us, — seeing that his life is bound up with his life,
31 Kapan hiche chapang hi amulou le thilo tei ding ahi, nasoh teho hin kapa'u samkan jouva thina kato sah kit dingu ahi tai atiuve. (Sheol h7585)
it will come to pass when he sees that the lad is not [there], that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
32 Amonga jong na sohpa hi kapa henga hiche chapang khel'a hung kipe doh jenga hitia hi, keiman ama hi naheng kahin nunglhut kit louva ahile nahenga hinkho lhumkei jin themmo chang jeng ing kate, kati ahi.
For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall be guilty toward my father all my days.
33 Hijeh chu kapu lungset tah in ahithei dingle hiche chapang khel in keima hi nangma soh din um tang kate, chule ahithei dingle hiche chapang hi a u-teho toh ki nungle tau hen.
And now, let thy servant stay, I pray thee, instead of the lad a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren;
34 Keima iti kapa koma kaki nungle kit ding ham hiche chapang pa beiya hi ati, kapa in gim genthei athoh ding chu iti kavet jou ding ham ati.
for how should I go up to my father if the lad were not with me? — lest I see the evil that would come on my father.
