Genesis 44
1 Joseph ordered his household supervisor, “Fill the men's sacks with as much grain as they can hold and put each man's money at the top of his sack.
Te phoeiah a im kah te a uen tih, “Hlang rhoek kah sungkoi te cang a phueih rhoehah sang pa lamtah tangkate sungkoi kah a rhai ah rhip khueh pah.
2 Then put my special silver cup at the top of the sack of the youngest, along with the money for his grain.” He did as Joseph told him.
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 tinah dongah Joseph kah ol a thui bangla a saii van.
3 At sunrise they were sent on their way with their donkeys.
Mincang khothaih nen tah hlangrhoek te amamih kah laak neh khaw vawl a tueih uh.
4 They had hardly left the city when Joseph told his household supervisor, “Go after those men, and when you catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you paid back good with evil by stealing my master's silver cup?
Amih loh khopuei te a hla lamkah hawt a khum vaengah Joseph loh a im om te, “Thoo, hlangrhoek te a hnukah hloem lamtahna kae vaengah amih te, 'Balae tih a then te boethae neh na thuung uh?
5 This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”
Ka boeipa kah a tui ok te he moenih a? Te lamkah la anih a hma khaw a hma dae. Anih taengkahna saii uh tena lolh uh coeng, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
6 When he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had said.
Te dongah amih te a kae vanneh hekah olka he a thui pah.
7 “My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that!
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.
8 Remember that we brought back the money we found at the top of our sacks when we returned from Canaan. Why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house?
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 suite tarha ka huen uh eh.
9 If any one of us is found with it, he shall die, and all of us will become your slaves.”
Na salrhoek 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.
10 “Whatever you say,” the man replied, “but only the one found with it will become my slave since the rest of you will be free of any blame.”
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 nangmihte ommongsitoe la na om uh ni,” a ti nah.
11 They all unloaded their sacks and put them on the ground. They each opened their own sacks.
Te dongah sungkoi te a loe la diklai ah rhip a hal uh tih rhip a ong uh.
12 The household supervisor searched the sacks, beginning with the oldest and working his way down to the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
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.
13 The brothers tore their clothes in grief. Then they loaded their sacks back on their donkeys and headed back to the city.
Te vaengah a himbai te a phen uh tih laak dongah hno rhip a tloeng uh tih khopuei la koep bal uh.
14 Joseph was still at home when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him.
Tedae Judah neh amah boeinaphung loh im a pha vaengah Joseph khaw a om pueng dongah a hmai ah diklai la bakop uh.
15 “Why did you do this?” Joseph asked. “Don't you know a man like me can find out things through divination?”
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.
16 “My lord, what can we say?” Judah replied. “How can we explain this to you? In what way can we prove our innocence? God has exposed the guilt of your servants. My lord, we are your slaves—all of us, including the one who was found with the cup.”
Te vaengah Judah loh, “Ka boeipa taengah mebang ka thuitih metla ka cal vaengah lae ka tang uh eh. Na sal rhoek kathaesainah khaw Pathenloha yan oeh coeng dongah kaimih khaw, a kut dongkah bunang a hmuh pah hlang nente ka boeipa taengah sal ka bi uh van mai pawn ni ta,” a ti nah.
17 “I wouldn't do anything like that!” Joseph replied. “Only the man who was found with the cup will become my slave. The rest of you are free to return to your father.”
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 nangmihte na pa taengah ngaimong la bal uh ngawn,” a ti nah.
18 Judah came closer and said to him, “If you please, my lord, let your servant just say a word. Please don't become angry with your servant, even though you are as powerful as Pharaoh himself.
Tedae Judahte 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 thintoekte sai sak boel mai.
19 My lord, previously you asked us, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
Ka boeipa loh a salrhoek he, 'Na pa nehna mana om a?,” a ti tih n'dawt.
20 We told you, my lord, ‘We have an elderly father, and a younger brother, born when our father was already old. The boy's brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother's children left, and his father loves him dearly.’
Te dongah, “Ka boeipa la a pa khaw patong coeng tih a patong soi kah a cun capa a poeihte om. Tedae a manu pakhat kah a cun hmaih khuiah a mayate duek tih anih amah bueng late a cul dongah a napaloha lungnah,’ ka ti uh.
21 Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’
Te vaengah na sal rhoek he, 'Anih te ka mik ah ka khueh van ham khaw kai taengla han khuen thuk,’ na ti.
22 We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’
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.
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’
Tedae na salrhoek la, 'Na mana a poeih te nan suntlak puei pawt atah kai maelhmai hmuh ham khoep uh boeh,’ na ti.
24 So when we went back to your servant, our father, we explained to him everything you had told us.
Te dongah na sal rhoek he a pa taengla ka pawk uh vanneh ka boeipa kah olka te anih taengla ka puen uh.
25 However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’
Te dongah a pa loh, 'Mah ham khaw caak bet vawn uh bal dae,’ a ti nah.
26 But we said, ‘There's no way we can go back unless Benjamin our youngest brother goes with us, because we won't be able to see the man if Benjamin isn't with us.’
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.
27 Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.
Te vaengah na sal rhoek he a pa loh, 'Ka yuu loh kai ham panit han sak te nangmih long khaw na ming uh.
28 One is no more, ripped to pieces no doubt, for I've never seen him since.
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.
29 If you take this one away from me too, and something bad happens to him, you'll send this old man to his grave in grief.’ (Sheol h7585)
Anih he khaw ka mikhmuh lamkahna 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)
30 So if the boy isn't with us when I go back to my father, whose life depends on the life of the boy,
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,
31 as soon as he sees the boy isn't there he'll die, and we will really send this old man, our father, to his grave in grief. (Sheol h7585)
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)
32 In fact I gave myself as the guarantee for the boy to my father. I told him, ‘If I don't bring him back to you, then I will always carry the blame!’
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.
33 So please let me stay here as my lord's slave instead of the boy. Let him go back home with his brothers.
Te dongah na salpa he camoe yuengah ka boeipa kah sal la ka om mai saeh lamtah camoe te a mayarhoek neh bal sak mai.
34 For how could I ever go back to my father if the boy wasn't with me? I couldn't stand seeing the anguish that would cause my father.”
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.
