And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each 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 silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.
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.
The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.

Ipi dinga keima dangka khon chu nana guh mangu ham?
And when they had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and you shall overtake them, and say to them, Why have you returned 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.
Why have you stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; you have accomplished evil in that which you have done.

And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words.

And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.
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.
If we brought back to you out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of your lord?
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 whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.
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 then it shall be as you say; with whoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and you shall be clear.
11 Amahon gangtah in adip hou chu sangan chunga kon in adom lha uvin ahong doh un ahi.
And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they 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, beginning from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.

And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.
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 is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely 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 Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom 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 Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do you go up with safety to your father.

And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let your servant speak a word before you, and be not angry with your servant, for you are next to Pharao.
19 Ka pakai pan phat masa chun nasohte ho nei dong uvin, nangma hon sopi nanei juvem ahiloule na pa'u umnalai em natin,
Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you 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 a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to 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 you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of 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 child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will 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.
But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.
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 went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our 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, and buy us a little food.
And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being 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 your servant our father said to us, You 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 one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.
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)
If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (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.
Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] 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 shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (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 your servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.
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.
Now then I will remain a servant with you instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but 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 shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
