Genesis 44
1 When his brothers were ready to return home, Joseph said to the man who was in charge of things in his house, “Fill the sacks of those men with as much grain as they can carry [on their donkeys]. And put in the top of each man’s sack the silver that he paid for the grain.
Hichun asopiho chu cheding in aki gong tauvin, Joseph in insung lhacha ho lah a aseitan, “Amaho dipsunga chun apoh thei jat u dimset in anchang kipoh sah un, chule dangka ahin kipoh hou chu nunghet peh cheh kitun,” ati.
2 Then put my silver cup in the top of the youngest brother’s sack, along with the silver that he paid for the grain.” So the servant did what Joseph told him to do.
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.
3 The next morning at dawn the men started on the way home with their donkeys.
Jingkah matah in akipat doh un ache tauve, a sangan ho jong vumlet set in neh ding apon alampiu majon ding in asol tauve.
4 When they had not gone far from the city, Joseph said to the servant in charge of things in his house, “Pursue those men immediately. When you catch up to them, say to them, ‘We did good things for you! Why have you paid us back by doing something bad to us?
Amaho chu khopia kon chun achedoh nauvin gamla pi agei masang uvin Joseph in jong ainsung thil chingpa jah a chun, “kipat doh in lang miho nung chu del loiyin, amaho chu naphah teng le ajah uva, “Ipi ding pen tah a ka phat nau thilpha chu git louva na lethuh u-hitam ong? Ipi dinga keima dangka khon chu nana guh mangu ham?
5 [You have stolen the cup] that my master drinks from [RHQ]! It is the cup that he uses to find out things that nobody knows! What you did was very wicked!’”
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.
6 The servant [left immediately and] when he caught up with them, he told them what Joseph had told him to say.
Insung lhacha pan amaho chu amat tup jouvin hitin aseitai.
7 But one of them replied to him, “Sir, why do you say such things? We are your servants, and we would never do anything like that!
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.
8 We even brought back to you from Canaan land the silver that we found inside the tops of our sacks! So (we certainly would not steal silver or gold from your master’s house!/Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house?) [RHQ]
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.
9 If you discover that any of us has that cup, you can execute him, and the rest of us will become your slaves.”
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.
10 The man replied, “Okay, I will do what you say. But the one who has the cup will not be executed. Instead, he will become my slave, and the rest of you may return home.”
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.
11 Each of the men quickly lowered his sack down from the donkey to the ground and opened it.
Amahon gangtah in adip hou chu sangan chunga kon in adom lha uvin ahong doh un ahi.
12 Then the servant started to search for the cup in each sack. He started with the oldest brother’s sack and ended with the youngest one’s sack. And he found the cup in Benjamin’s sack and showed it to them.
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.
13 The brothers tore their clothes [because they were so dismayed]. They loaded the sacks on the donkeys again and returned to the city.
Hichun ama hon a sangkhol'u abot tel tel tauvin, apot hou chu a sangan chunga aheng doh kit un, khopi lam ahin nung jot kit tauve.
14 When Judah and his [older and younger] brothers entered Joseph’s house, Joseph was still there. The servant told Joseph what had happened. Then the brothers threw themselves down on the ground in front of Joseph.
Judah le asopi ho ahung lhun u chun Joseph chu a in na ana umna laiye, chule amaho Joseph masanga tol ah abohkhup tauvin ahi.
15 He said to them, “Why did you do this? Do you not know that a man like me can find out things that nobody knows?” [RHQ]
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.
16 Judah replied, “Sir, what can we say? How can we prove that we (are innocent/did not steal the cup)? God has (paid us back/punished us) for the sins [we committed many years ago]. So now we will become your slaves—both we and the one in whose sack the cup was found.”
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.
17 But Joseph replied, “No, I could never do anything like that. Only the man in whose sack the cup was found will become my slave. The rest of you can return to your father peacefully.”
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.
18 Then Judah came near to Joseph and said, “Sir, please let me say something to you. You are equal to the king himself, so you could command that I be executed; but do not be angry with me for speaking to you.
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;
19 You asked us, ‘Is your father still living, and do you have another brother?’
Ka pakai pan phat masa chun nasohte ho nei dong uvin, nangma hon sopi nanei juvem ahiloule na pa'u umnalai em natin,
20 We answered, ‘Our father is alive, but he is an old man. He has a young son who was born after our father became an old man. That son had an [older] brother, who is now dead. So the youngest son is the only one of his mother’s sons who is still alive, and his father loves him very much.’
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.
21 Then you said to us, ‘The next time you come here, bring your younger brother down to me, so that I can see him.’
Nangman thu neina peh jal a amapa chu hinpui un keiman kamit taha kamu nom e natin;
22 We said to you, ‘No, we cannot do that, because the boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die from sorrow.’
Ahin keima hon kana donbut un, ka pakai pa'u chu hiche chapang chun apa adalha thei poi ajeh chu apa thilo thei ahi.
23 But you told us, ‘If your youngest brother does not come back with you, I will not let you see me again!’
Ahin nangman thu neina mop kit un, nasopi pa'u alhum pen pa ahung tokah a nanghon kamai namu kitlou dingu ahitai nati.
24 When we returned to our father, we told him what you said.
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.
25 [Months later] our father said, ‘Go back to Egypt and buy some more grain!’
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.
26 But we said, ‘We cannot go back by ourselves. We will go only if our youngest brother is with us. We will not be able to see the man who sells grain if our youngest brother is not with us.’
27 Our father replied, ‘You know that my wife [Rachel] gave birth to two sons for me.
Hichun nalhacha pa kapa uvin hitin aseiye, nangma hon nahe uvin ka loinu Rachel in cha ni eihin peh in ahi.
28 One of them disappeared, and I said, “A wild animal has surely torn him to pieces.” And I have not seen him since then.
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.
29 I am an old gray-haired man. If you take this other one from me, too, and something harms him, you would cause me to die because of my sorrow.’ (Sheol h7585)
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)
30 “So please listen. My father will remain alive only if his youngest son remains alive.
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.
31 If he sees that the boy is not with us when we return to him, he will die. We will cause our gray-haired father to die because of his sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
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)
32 I guaranteed/promised to my father that the boy would return safely. I told him, ‘You can require me to do what I am promising. If I do not bring him back to you, you can say forever that (I am to blame/it is my fault) [for not bringing him back to you].’
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.
33 “So, please let me remain here as your slave instead of my youngest brother, and let the boy return home with his other older brothers.
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.
34 (I cannot return to my father if the boy is not with me!/How can I return to my father if the boy is not with me?) [RHQ] I do not want to see how miserable/sad my father would become!”
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.
