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.
Ahnimouh ni imkaringkung koevah, ahnimouh ni aphu thai yit touh, cawngko pakawi pouh nateh, amamae tangka rip hah amamae cawngko som koe lengkaleng tat pouh.
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.
Hahoi kaie manang, ngun manang hah a cahnoung e cawngko som dawkvah cakang phu tangka hoi na ta pouh han, telah kâ a poe.
3 At sunrise they were sent on their way with their donkeys.
Khodai tahma vah ahnimouh teh amamae lanaw hoi a kamthaw awh.
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?
Kho thung hoi a kamthaw awh teh ahlapoungnae koe a pha awh hoehnahlan, Joseph ni imkaringkung koe thaw nateh ahnimanaw hah pâlei haw. Hahoi na pha toteh ahnimouh koe, bangkongmaw hawinae hah hawihoehnae hoi na patho awh.
5 This is the cup he personally drinks from, and which he uses for divination. What you've done is really evil!’”
Hot hah, kaie bawipa e misur neinae hoi hma lae ka tho hane kong a panuenae nahoehmaw. Het patet lae na o awh e heh puenghoi na payon awh, na ti pouh han.
6 When he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had said.
Hahoi, rek a pha toteh hottelah a dei pouh.
7 “My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that!
Ahnimouh ni ahni koe, bawipa, bangkongmaw het patet lae lawk na dei, na sannaw ni hot patet e hno ka sak awh hoeh.
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?
Khenhaw! kaimae cawngko som dawk ka hmu awh e tangka hoi Kanaan kho hoi nang koe bout ka thokhai awh nahoehmaw. Bangtelamaw na bawipa im e tangka hoi sui teh ka paru thai awh han namaw.
9 If any one of us is found with it, he shall die, and all of us will become your slaves.”
Na sannaw thung dawk hote hno na hmunae pueng dout seh. Kaimouh hai bawipa e san lah ka o awh yawkaw han, ati awh.
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.”
Ahni ni bokheiyah, atu hai nangmae lawk patetlah lawiseh, hno ka hmunae tami hah ka san lah ao vaiteh, nangmouh teh toun kaawm hoeh lah na o awh han telah ati.
11 They all unloaded their sacks and put them on the ground. They each opened their own sacks.
Hat nah tahma vah amamae cawngko lengkaleng a patue awh teh lengkaleng a paawng awh.
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.
Ahni ni kacuepoung koehoi kanawpoung totouh a tawng pouh. Hattoteh Benjamin e cawngko dawk manang teh a hmu.
13 The brothers tore their clothes in grief. Then they loaded their sacks back on their donkeys and headed back to the city.
Hat nah tahma vah a khohna a phi awh, lanaw a phu sak awh teh kho dawk a ban awh.
14 Joseph was still at home when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him.
Judah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw teh Joseph im a pha awh, ama teh haw vah a la o rah. Hahoi a hmalah a tabo awh.
15 “Why did you do this?” Joseph asked. “Don't you know a man like me can find out things through divination?”
Hahoi Joseph ni bangmaw na sak awh. Kai patetlae tami ni hmalah ka tho hane hno a panue han tie na panuek awh hoeh maw, telah ati.
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.”
Judah ni ka bawipa nang koe bangvai ka dei awh toung. Bangmaw ka pâpha thai awh han. Cathut ni na sannaw yonnae teh a hmu toe. Khenhaw! ka bawipa kaimouh hoi ahnie kut dawk manang a hmu e hoi na san lah doeh ka o awh toe telah ati.
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.”
Hatei ahni ni, hottelah khoeroe ka sak mahoeh, a kut dawk manang a hmunae dueng doeh ka san lah ao vaiteh nangmouh teh na pa koe karoumcalah cet awh, telah ati.
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.
Hat nah tahma vah, Judah ni Joseph hah a hnai teh, Oe ka bawipa, pahren lahoi na san heh, ka bawipa na san heh na hnâthainae koe lawk kam touh na dei sak haw. Na lungkhueknae hah na san koe kaman sak hanh. Bangtelah tetpawiteh, nang teh Faro patetlah doeh na o.
19 My lord, previously you asked us, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
Ka bawipa nang ni, na pa nakunghai, hmaunawngha nakunghai na tawn maw telah na sannaw hah na pacei.
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.’
Kaimouh ni nang koe ka matawngpoung e na pa ka tawn awh. Matawng sawi a sak e camoca ka tawn awh teh buet touh teh a due toe, a manu ni a khe e dawk ahni dueng ao teh a na pa ni a pahren poung, ka ti awh.
21 Then you ordered us, ‘Bring him here to me so I can see him.’
Nang ni, ahni ka hmu thai nahanlah kai koe thokhai awh ati.
22 We told you, ‘The boy can't leave his father; if he did, his father would die.’
Ka bawipa kaimouh ni tongpaca ni a na pa cettakhai thai mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa cettakhai pawiteh a na pa a due han doeh ka ti awh.
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother doesn't come with you, you won't see me again.’
Hatei, nang ni na nawngha cahnoung nangmouh koe tho van hoehpawiteh, ka mei na hmawt awh mahoeh toe, ati.
24 So when we went back to your servant, our father, we explained to him everything you had told us.
Hahoi, na sannaw apa koe ka pha awh toteh, ka bawipa, bawipa nange lawk hah ka dei pouh awh.
25 However, later on, our father told us, ‘Go back and buy some more food.’
Apa ni bout cet awh nateh, mamouh hanelah cakang youn touh bout ran awh, ati.
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.’
Hatei kaimouh ni ka cet thai awh mahoeh, nawngha cahnoung kaimouh koe tho van pawiteh dueng doeh ka cei awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nawngha cahnoung kaimouh koe tho van hoehpawiteh ahnie mei ka hmawt thai awh mahoeh toe, telah ka ti pouh awh.
27 Then my father said to us, ‘You realize that my wife had two sons for me.
Na san kaimae na pa ni, ka yu ni capa kahni touh na khe pouh tie na panue awh.
28 One is no more, ripped to pieces no doubt, for I've never seen him since.
Buet touh teh kai koehoi a tâco teh koung paset e lah ao mue toe, hahoi teh ahni ka hmawt boihoeh toe.
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)
Hahoi hete camo heh kai koe hoi na ceikhai teh, runae kâhmo pawiteh, ka sampo hah lungmathoenae lahoi phuen dawk na loum sak awh toe, telah ati. (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,
Hatdawkvah, tongpaca heh kaimouh koe tho van laipalah na san apa koe ka tho pawiteh, a hringnae hoi tongpaca e hringnae mekkawme lah ao dawkvah,
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)
tongpaca tho van hoeh tie hah a panue tahma kadout han doeh. Hattoteh na sannaw ni na san apa e sampo hah lungmathoenae hoi phuen koe ka loum sak yawkaw han doeh. (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!’
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, na san ni nang koe ka thokhai hoehpawiteh, a yungyoe na hmalah yonpen e lah ka o han telah apa koe tongpaca kong dawk thoe yo ka bo toe.
33 So please let me stay here as my lord's slave instead of the boy. Let him go back home with his brothers.
Pahren lahoi na san hah tongpaca yueng lah ka bawipa, na san lah na awm sak nateh, tongpaca heh a hmaunaw hoi ban sak leih.
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.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koe tongpaca tho van hoehpawiteh bangtelamaw apa koe ka cei thai awh han vaw. Telah hoehpawiteh, apa koe ka phat hane thoenae teh ka hmu payon awh han doeh, telah ati.
