And he commandeth him who [is] over his house, saying, 'Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
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 my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;' and he doth according to the word of Joseph which he hath 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.
The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their asses —

Ipi dinga keima dangka khon chu nana guh mangu ham?
they have gone out of the city — they have not gone far off — and Joseph hath said to him who [is] over his house, 'Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed 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 that with which my lord drinketh? and he observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil [in] that which ye have done.'
6 Insung lhacha pan amaho chu amat tup jouvin hitin aseitai.
And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto 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 say unto him, 'Why doth my lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy 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.
lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of thy lord 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, he hath died, and we also are to my lord for servants.'
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 saith, 'Now, also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are acquitted;'
11 Amahon gangtah in adip hou chu sangan chunga kon in adom lha uvin ahong doh un ahi.
and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag;
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 searcheth — at the eldest he hath begun, and at the youngest he hath completed — and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;

And Judah — his brethren also — cometh in unto the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall before him to the earth;
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 saith to them, 'What [is] this deed that ye have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently observe?'
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 saith, 'What do we say to my lord? what do we speak? and what — do we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; lo, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath 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 saith, 'Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and ye, go ye up in peace unto 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;
And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, 'O, my lord, let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant — for thou art 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 hath asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or 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 say unto 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 hath loved him.
21 Nangman thu neina peh jal a amapa chu hinpui un keiman kamit taha kamu nom e natin;
'And thou sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and I set mine eye upon 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 say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;
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 sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother come not down with you, ye add not to see my face.
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 cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to 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 saith, Turn back, buy for us a little food,
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 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 saith unto us, Ye — ye have known that two did my wife bare to me,
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 goeth out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn — torn! and I have not seen him since;
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)
when ye have taken also this from my presence, and mischief hath met him, then ye have brought down my grey hairs with evil 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, at my coming in unto thy servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
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)
then it hath come to pass when he seeth that the youth is not, that he hath died, and thy servants have brought 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 obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee — then I have sinned against my father all the 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, I pray thee, abide instead of the youth a servant to my lord, and the youth goeth 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 do I go up unto my father, and the youth not with me? lest I look on the evil which doth find my father.'
