< Genesis 44 >

1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
Te phoeiah a im kah tea uen tih, “Hlang rhoek kah sungkoi te canga phueih rhoehah sang pa lamtah tangkate sungkoi kah a rhai ah rhip khueh pah.
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
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 ola thui banglaa saii van.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Mincang khothaih nen tah hlangrhoek te amamih kah laak neh khaw vawl a tueih uh.
4 [And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet] far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
Amih loh khopuei tea hla lamkah hawta khum vaengah Joseph loh a im om te, “Thoo, hlangrhoek tea hnukah hloem lamtahna kae vaengah amih te, 'Balae tiha then te boethae neh na thuung uh?
5 [Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
Ka boeipa kah a tui ok te he moenih a? Te lamkah la aniha hma khaw a hma dae. Anih taengkahna saii uh tena lolh uh coeng, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
Te dongah amih te a kae vanneh hekah olka hea thui pah.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
Tedae amih loh, “Ka boeipa tebang olka te ba ham lae a thui. Na sal rhoek loh tebang hnoa saii ham khaw savisava la.
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
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 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
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 And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
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 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Te dongah sungkoi tea loe la diklai ah rhipa hal uh tih rhipa ong uh.
12 And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Te dongaha ham taeng lamkah a tong tiha tlap te a poeih taenglaa khah vaengah bunang te Benjamin kah sungkoi dongaha hmuh.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
Te vaengah a himbai te a phen uh tih laak dongah hno rhipa tloeng uh tih khopuei la koep bal uh.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he [was] yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
Tedae Judah neh amah boeinaphung loh ima pha vaengah Joseph khaw a om pueng dongah a hmai ah diklai la bakop uh.
15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
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 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we [are] my lord’s servants, both we, and [he] also with whom the cup is found.
Te vaengah Judah loh, “Ka boeipa taengah mebang ka thuitih metla ka cal vaengah lae ka tang uh eh. Na sal rhoek kathaesainah khaw Pathenloh a yan oeh coeng dongah kaimih khaw, a kut dongkah bunanga hmuh pah hlang nente ka boeipa taengah sal ka bi uh van mai pawn ni ta,” a ti nah.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: [but] the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
Tedae Joseph loh, “Hekah he kai loh ka saii ham te savisava, a kut dongah bunanga hmuh hlang te kai taengah sal la om ngawn saeh lamtah nangmihte na pa taengah ngaimong la bal uh ngawn,” a ti nah.
18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh.
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 asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Ka boeipa loh a salrhoek he, 'Na pa nehna mana om a?,” a ti tih n'dawt.
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
Te dongah, “Ka boeipa la a pa khaw patong coeng tiha patong soi kah a cun capaa poeihte om. Tedae a manu pakhat kah a cun hmaih khuiah a mayate duek tih anih amah bueng late a cul dongah a napaloh a lungnah,’ ka ti uh.
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon 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 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
Te vaengah ka boeipa la, 'Camoe loh a napaa caehtak ham tah coeng pawh. Caehtak koinih a napa te duek ni, ' ka ti uh.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Tedae na salrhoek la, 'Na manaa poeih te nan suntlak puei pawt atah kai maelhmai hmuh ham khoep uh boeh,’ na ti.
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Te dongah na sal rhoek he a pa taengla ka pawk uh vanneh ka boeipa kah olka te anih taengla ka puen uh.
25 And our father said, Go again, [and] buy us a little food.
Te dongah a pa loh, 'Mah ham khaw caak bet vawn uh bal dae,’ a ti nah.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother [be] with us.
Te vaengah, “Kaimih taengah ka manaa poeih om pawt koinih hlang maelhmai hmuh hama coeng pawt dongah, 'Ka manaa poeih loh kaimih taengaha om pawt mai ah ka caeh uh ham coeng pawh tedae halo atah ka cet uh ni,’ ka ti uh.
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two [sons: ]
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 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not 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 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Anih he khaw ka mikhmuh lamkahna khuen uh tih anih loh yoethae puei bal koinih kai sampok he saelkhui aha thae la nan hla uh ve,’ a ti. (Sheol h7585)
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad [be] not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
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 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad [is] not [with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (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 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
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 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
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 shall I go up to my father, and the lad [be] not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Camoe kamah nen pawt koinih a pa taengah metlam caeh eh? A pa taengah yoethaea hmuh man ka hmuh lah ve,” a ti nah.
