Kamtawngnae 44

1 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.

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.

2 Hahoi kaie manang, ngun manang hah a cahnoung e cawngko som dawkvah cakang phu tangka hoi na ta pouh han, telah kâ a poe.

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.

3 Khodai tahma vah ahnimouh teh amamae lanaw hoi a kamthaw awh.

As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

4 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.

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 you do overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have all of you rewarded evil for good?

5 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.

Is not this it in which my lord drinks, and whereby indeed he divines? all of you have done evil in so doing.

6 Hahoi, rek a pha toteh hottelah a dei pouh.

And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these same words.

7 Ahnimouh ni ahni koe, bawipa, bangkongmaw het patet lae lawk na dei, na sannaw ni hot patet e hno ka sak awh hoeh.

And they said unto him, Wherefore says my lord these words? God forbid that your servants should do according to this thing:

8 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.

Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto you out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of your lord's house silver or gold?

9 Na sannaw thung dawk hote hno na hmunae pueng dout seh. Kaimouh hai bawipa e san lah ka o awh yawkaw han, ati awh.

With whomsoever of your servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.

10 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.

And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and all of you shall be blameless.

11 Hat nah tahma vah amamae cawngko lengkaleng a patue awh teh lengkaleng a paawng awh.

Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

12 Ahni ni kacuepoung koehoi kanawpoung totouh a tawng pouh. Hattoteh Benjamin e cawngko dawk manang teh a hmu.

And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

13 Hat nah tahma vah a khohna a phi awh, lanaw a phu sak awh teh kho dawk a ban awh.

Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

14 Judah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw teh Joseph im a pha awh, ama teh haw vah a la o rah. Hahoi a hmalah a tabo awh.

And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

15 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.

And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that all of you have done? know all of you not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

16 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.

And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

17 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.

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.

18 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.

Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let your servant, I pray you, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant: for you are even as Pharaoh.

19 Ka bawipa nang ni, na pa nakunghai, hmaunawngha nakunghai na tawn maw telah na sannaw hah na pacei.

My lord asked his servants, saying, Have all of you a father, or a brother?

20 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.

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 loves him.

21 Nang ni, ahni ka hmu thai nahanlah kai koe thokhai awh ati.

And you said unto your servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

22 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.

And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

23 Hatei, nang ni na nawngha cahnoung nangmouh koe tho van hoehpawiteh, ka mei na hmawt awh mahoeh toe, ati.

And you said unto your servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, all of you shall see my face no more.

24 Hahoi, na sannaw apa koe ka pha awh toteh, ka bawipa, bawipa nange lawk hah ka dei pouh awh.

And it came to pass when we came up unto your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

25 Apa ni bout cet awh nateh, mamouh hanelah cakang youn touh bout ran awh, ati.

And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

26 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.

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.

27 Na san kaimae na pa ni, ka yu ni capa kahni touh na khe pouh tie na panue awh.

And your servant my father said unto us, All of you know that my wife bare me two sons:

28 Buet touh teh kai koehoi a tâco teh koung paset e lah ao mue toe, hahoi teh ahni ka hmawt boihoeh toe.

And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

29 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)

And if all of you take this also from me, and mischief befall him, all of you shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

30 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,

Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;

31 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)

It shall come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and your servants shall bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 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.

For your servant became guarantor for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto you, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

33 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.

Now therefore, I pray you, let your servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

34 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.

For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest possibly I see the evil that shall come on my father.
