Genesis 44
1 And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack.
Joseph mah angmah ih im khenzawnkung khaeah, nihcae a phawh o thai thung, cang to phawsak ah loe, cang qanhaih phoisa to angmacae dip thungah pacaeng pae boih let ah, tiah a thuih pae.
2 And in the mouth of the younger’s sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done.
To pacoengah kai ih boengloeng, sum kanglung hoi sak ih boengloeng to, kanawk koek ih dip thungah cang a qanhaih phoisa hoi nawnto pacaeng paeh, tiah a naa. Joseph mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah anih mah sak.
3 And when the morning arose, they were sent away with their asses.
Khawnbang khodai naah loe nihcae to, angmacae ih laa hrang hoi nawnto patoeh.
4 And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way; Joseph sending for the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good?
Nihcae vangpui thung hoi tacawt o moe, nasetto kangthla ah doeh caeh o ai vop, to naah Joseph mah angmah ih im khenzawn kami khaeah, to kaminawk to patom ah loe, na kae naah, nihcae khaeah, Tipongah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah nang pathok o loe?
5 The cup which you have stolen is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing.
Tih hanah ka angraeng mah tui naek naah patoh ih, a boengloeng to na paquk o loe? To boengloeng loe kaom han koi hmuen khet naah patoh ih boengloeng ah oh, na sak o ih hmuen hae hoih ai, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
6 He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words.
Anih mah nihcae to kae naah, a thuisak ih lok baktih toengah nihcae khaeah a thuih pae.
7 And they answered: Why doth our lord speak so, as though thy servants had committed so heinous a fact?
Toe nihcae mah, Tikhoe ka angraeng loe to tiah lokthuih loe? Na tamnanawk loe to baktih hmuen to ka sah o mak ai.
8 The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord’s house, gold or silver?
Khenah, dip thungah ka hnuk o ih phoisa mataeng doeh, Kanaan prae thung hoiah kang sin o let bae; kawbang maw na angraeng im ih phoisa hoi sui to ka paqu o halat tih?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord.
Na tamnanawk thungah mi kawbaktih ih dip thungah doeh to hmuen to na hnuk nahaeloe, anih to dueh nasoe; kalah kaicae boih loe ka angraeng ih tamna ah ka oh o han, tiah a naa o.
10 And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless.
Anih mah, Na thuih o ih lok baktiah om nasoe, mi kawbaktih ih dip thungah doeh boengloeng to ka hnuk nahaeloe, anih to ka tamna ah om nasoe, kalah kaminawk loe loih o tih, tiah a naa.
11 Then they speedily took down their sacks to the ground, and every man opened his sack.
To pacoengah long ah karangah amtik o moe, angmacae ih dip to paongh o boih.
12 Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack.
Im toepkung mah kacoeh ih hmuen hoi kanawk ih hmuen khoek to pakrong pae bit; to naah Benjamin ih dip thungah boegloeng to a hnuk.
13 Then they rent their garments, and loading their asses again, returned into the town.
To naah nihcae loe laihaw to asih o moe, laa hrang nuiah hmuennawk to thuengh o pacoengah, vangpui ah amlaem o let.
14 And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph, (for he was not yet gone out of the place), and they altogether fell down before him on the ground.
Judah hoi nawkamyanawk Joseph imthung ah akun o naah, Joseph loe imthung ah oh vop, nihcae loe anih hmaa ah long ah akuep o.
15 And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining.
Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah na oh o loe? Na sak o ih hmuen ka panoek mak ai, tiah na poek o maw? tiah a naa.
16 And Juda said to him: What shall we answer my lord? or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are all bondmen to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found.
Judah mah anih khaeah, Ka angraeng khaeah timaw ka thuih o han boeh? Timaw ka thuih o han vop? Kawbang maw toenghaih kam tueng o sak han? Na tamnanawk ih zaehaih Sithaw mah amtuengsak boeh; khenah, kaicae loe nang ih tamna ah ni ka oh o han boeh, kaicae hoi boengloeng phawkung loe na tamna ah ka oh o han boeh, tiah a naa.
17 Joseph answered: God forbid that I should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father.
Toe Joseph mah nihcae khaeah, To baktih hmuen to ka sah mak ai; boengloeng phawkung khue ni kai ih tamna ah om tih; kalah boih loe nam pa khaeah lunghoihta hoiah caeh oh, tiah a naa.
18 Then Juda coming nearer, said boldly: I beseech thee, my lord, let thy servant speak a word in thy ears, and be not angry with thy servant: for after Pharao thou art,
Judah mah anih khaeah caeh moe, Aw, ka angraeng, ka angraeng khaeah lok pakha to mah na thuisak raeh, nang loe Faro hoi kangvan ah na oh; toe na tamna nuiah palungphuisak hma raeh.
19 My lord. Thou didst ask thy servants the first time: Have you a father or a brother?
Ka angraeng nang mah, Nam pa hoi nam nawk na tawnh o vop maw? tiah nang dueng.
20 And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead: and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly.
Kaicae mah ka angraeng khaeah, Kam pa loe oh vop, anih loe mitong boeh moe, mitong lam ah sak ih capa maeto oh vop; anih ih amya loe duek boeh; amno ih capanawk thungah anih khue ni anghmat boeh; anih loe ampa mah paroeai palung, tiah kang thuih o.
21 And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him.
To naah nang mah na tamnanawk khaeah, Kai khaeah angzo o haih ah, hnuk han ka koeh toeng, tiah na thuih.
22 We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die.
Kaicae mah ka angraeng nang khaeah, Nawkta loe ampa hoi ampraek thai ai, anih mah caeh taak nahaeloe, kam pa loe dueh tih, tiah kang thuih o.
23 And thou saidst to thy servants: Except your youngest brother come with you, you shall see my face no more.
Toe nang mah na tamnanawk khaeah, Asoi koek nam nawk to nang zo o haih tathuk ai nahaeloe, ka mikhmai nang hnu o let mak ai boeh, tiah nang thuih.
24 Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said.
Na tamnanawk kam pa khaeah ka caeh o let naah, ka angraeng nang mah nang thuih ih loknawk to ka thuih pae o boih.
25 And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little wheat.
To naah kam pa mah, Caeh o let ah loe, cang na qan pae o let ah, tiah ang naa.
26 And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man’s face.
Toe kaicae mah, Ka caeh o tathuk let mak ai; asoi koek kam nawk angzoh naah ni ka caeh o thai tih; asoi koek kam nawk to om ai nahaeloe, to kami ih mikhmai to ka hnu o let thai mak ai boeh, tiah ka naa o.
27 Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two.
Na tamna ih ampa mah, Ka zu mah caa hnetto ang sak pae, tito na panoek o.
28 One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him: and hitherto he appeareth not.
Maeto loe kai khae hoiah caeh ving boeh pongah, Anih loe moi kasan mah taprawt pet pet boeh mue, tiah kang naa o. To pacoeng hoiah loe anih to ka hnu let ai boeh.
29 If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
Anih hae na lak o let moe, kasae tongh moeng nahaeloe, palungset loiah ka lu nui ih sampok hoiah ni nawnto taprong thungah nang thak o tih boeh, tiah ang naa. (Sheol h7585)
30 Therefore if I shall go to thy servant our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him, )
To pongah vaihi, nawkta hae hoi ai ah, na tamna mah kam pa khaeah ka caeh let nahaeloe, nawkta hinghaih hoi amhoe thai ai kam pa mah,
31 And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his gray hairs with sorrow unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
nawkta to khet hawk moe, kaicae hoi nawnto nawkta angzo ai, tiah panoek nahaeloe, anih loe dueh roep tih boeh; na tamnanawk mah palungset loiah anih lu nui ih sampok to taprong thungah ka laem o sak moeng tih. (Sheol h7585)
32 Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever.
Na tamna kai mah nawkta to ngancuem ah kang zoh haih let han hmang, tiah ka thuih pae boeh; anih to kang zo haih let ai nahaeloe, ka hing thung kam pa hmaa ah kasae thuihaih ka phawh han hmang, tiah lok ka thuih boeh.
33 Therefore I thy servant will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren.
To pongah vaihi nawkta zuengah kai hae na tamna ah ka oh han, nawkta loe amyanawk hoi nawnto amlaemsak ah.
34 For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father.
Nawkta om ai ah, kawbang maw kam pa khaeah kam laem let thai tih? To tih ai nahaeloe, kam pa nuiah kapha raihaih to ka hnu moeng tih, tiah a naa.
