¹He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

¹Huan, aman a in kemmi kiangah, huai mite ip a puak zoh zahzah un buhin dimsak unla, a dangka chiat uh a ip gong bul chiat uah koih un.

²Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

²Huan, ka nou, huai dangka nou, a naupangpenpa uh ip gong bulah koih un, a buh man dangka toh, chiin, thu a pia. Huchiin, aman Joseph thu gen bangin a hihta hi.

³As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

³Huan, khua a vak takin amau, a sabengtungte utoh, a paisakta ua.

⁴When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?

⁴Huan, khua akipan a pai khiak ua gamla a tun maun, Josephin a in kemmi kiangah, thou inla, huai mite vadelhin; huan, na vaphak takin a kiang uah, bangchidana thil hoih thil hoihloua thuk na hi ua?

⁵Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”

⁵Huai ka pu uain dawna leh a aisanna mahmah hilou ahi maw? hichibang na hih uh na gilou uh ahi, chiin, a chi a.

⁶He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.

⁶Huan, a delh phaa, huai thute a kiang uah a gena.

⁷They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!

⁷Huan, amau a kiangah, Pu, bangchidan ahia hichi thu na gen? Na sikhaten huchibang thil ka hihlouh ding dan uh.

⁸Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?

⁸Ngaiin, ka ip gong bul ua dangka ka muhte uh leng Kanan gam akipanin na kiangah ka hon tawi ve ua oi: bangchidanin na pu in a dangka hiam dangkaeng hiam ka gu thei maijen ding ua?

⁹With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondservants.”

⁹Na sikhate lakah kuapeuh na muhna penpen si hen, kou leng ka pu uh sikhain ka om mai ding uh, a chi ua.

¹⁰He said, “Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found will be my bondservant; and you will be blameless.”

¹⁰Huan, aman, hi hen, na thu bang jel un hi leh ake: Ahihhangin kuapeuh ka honmuhna penpen ka sikhain om hen; noute ahihleh gensiat beiin na om ding uh, a chi a.

¹¹Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

¹¹Huaitakin amau ip chiat kintakin lei ah a nga khe chiat ua, amau ip chiat a hong ua.

¹²He searched, beginning with the eldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

¹²Huan, aman, a upapen uah apana, a naupang pen uh phain a zonga: huchiin Benjamin ip ah nou a muta hi.

¹³Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.

¹³Huaitakin a puansilhte uh a botkek ua, amau sabengtung chiat a posak nawn ua, khua ah a kik nawnta uhi.

¹⁴Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.

¹⁴Huan, Juda leh a unauten Joseph in a vapha ua; amah lah huailaiah a na om lailaia: huan, a maah a khupboh chiat ua.

¹⁵Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?”

¹⁵Huan, Josephin, a kiang uah, bang thil ahi maia na hih uh? Kei miin aisan a siam teitei uh chih na theikei ua hia? Achia.

¹⁶Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? Or how will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s bondservants, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”

¹⁶Huan, Judain, pu na kiangah bang ka genta ding ua? Bang ka honhilhta ding ua? Bangchibangin ka kigenvengta ding ua? Pathianin na sikhate tatlek na mu kheta hi: Ngaiin, pu, na sikhate ka hita mai uhi, koute leh a khut a nou a muhnapen uh leng, a chi a.

¹⁷He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my bondservant; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

¹⁷Huan, aman, huchibanga ka hihlouh dingdan: a khut a nou a muhnapen kia uh ka sikhain a om ding; nou jaw lungmuangtakin na pa uh kiangah pai tou ta un, a chi a.

¹⁸Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

¹⁸Huaitakin Judain Joseph a vanaiha, Pu aw, hehpihtakin, pu, kei na sikha na bila na jak dingin thu kamkhat hon gen sak inla, na hehna na sikha tungah kuangsak ken: nang la Pharo bang hial na hita ngala.

¹⁹My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’

¹⁹Pu, nang, Pa hiam unau hiam na nei uhia? Chiin, na sikhate na hon donga.

²⁰We said to 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.’

²⁰Huan, pu, kou, na kiangah, Pa putek tak leh, teklam ta, naupang chik, ka nei uh; huai mi u a sia, a nu neih lakah amah kia a om laia, a pain lah amah a it mahmah hi, ka chi ua.

²¹You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’

²¹Huan, nang, na sikhate kiangah, amah pen ka mit a ka muh theihna dingin ka kiangah honpi suk un, na chi a.

²²We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’

²²Huan, pu, kou na kiangah, ka nau un a pa a nuse theikei ding; a pa pai san leh a pa lah a si mai ngal sina, ka chi ua.

²³You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’

²³Huan, nang, na sikhate kiangah, na nautumpen uh non tonpih kei uleh, ka mel na mu nawn kei ding uh, na chi a.

²⁴It happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

²⁴Huan, hichi ahia, na sikha ka pa uh kiang ka vatun un, pu, na thu ka hilh ua.

²⁵Our father said, ‘Go again, buy us a little food.’

²⁵Huan, ka pa un, Kuan nawn unla, buh tawm chik bek ei a dingin va lei nawn un, a chi a.

²⁶We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’

²⁶Huan, kou, ka hoh suk thei nawn kei ding uh; ka nautumpen uh a hong ding lebel ka va hoh suk mai ding uh: ka nautumpen uh a hong kei leh huai mi melmu theilou ding ka hi uh, ka chi ua.

²⁷Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons:

²⁷Huan, na sikha ka pa un, ka kiang uah, ka jiin tapa nih a honneisak chih na thei ua:

²⁸and the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces”; and I haven’t seen him since.

²⁸Huan, a khat pen ka kianga kipan a pai khiaa, boh jan veka om hi ngei ding ahi, ka chi a; huai nung siah amah mu lou vengveng ka hi:

²⁹If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .’

²⁹huchiin, hiai mi leng ka kianga kipanin na pi man ua, tuahsia vatuak leh ka lu kang lungkhamnaa han a tumsak ding na hi uh, a chi a.

³⁰Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;

³⁰Huchiin, ka nauin kou honjui loua, na sikha ka pa kiang vatung leng, a hinna ka nau uh hinna toh a kizop jiakin;

³¹it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. .

³¹Hichi ahi dinga, naupan a honjui kei chih a theih tak chiangin a si mai ding: huchiin na sikhaten na sikha ka pa uh lu kang lungkhamnaa han a tum sak ding keita ve ua.

³²For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’

³²Na sikhain, na kianga ka honpi nawn keileh, a moh khantawnin ka pa lakah ka po ding, chiin, ka pa kiangah ka nau uh tungtang thuah a bul tumpain ka kibawlta ngala.

³³Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

³³Huchiin, hehpihtakin na sikha ka nau uh sikin, pu, na sikhain honom sak inla, ka nau a ute jui tou sakin.Ka nauin honjui louin bangchiin ka pa tunga siatna tung ding mu ding ka kei hiam, a chi hi.

³⁴For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”

³⁴Ka nauin honjui louin bangchiin ka pa tunga siatna tung ding mu ding ka kei hiam, a chi hi.
