Genesis 41
1 Saning hnetto boeng pacoengah, Faro mah amang to sak; anih loe vapui taengah angdoet.
It came about at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream. Behold, he stood by the Nile.
2 Khenah, to naah krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihto tui thung hoiah tacawt tahang moe, vapui taeng ih phroh to a caak o.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, desirable and fat, and they grazed in the reeds.
3 To pacoengah krangsae, zaek kaeng kalah maitaw sarihto vapui thung hoiah tacawt let moe, hmaloe ih maitawnawk khaeah vapui taengah angdoet o.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, undesirable and thin. They stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
4 Krangsae zaek kaeng maitawnawk mah, kranghoih kathawk maitaw sarihtonawk to caak o king. To naah Faro loe anglawt.
Then the undesirable and thin cows ate the seven desirable and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 A ih let naah amang to sak let; khenah, katak moe, kahoih parai cangqui sarihto loe cangkung maeto nuiah tacawt o tahang.
Then he slept and dreamed a second time. Behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, wholesome and good.
6 To pacoengah ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih, katak ai kazaek cangqui sarihto tacawt let.
Behold, seven heads, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 To naah katak ai kazaek cangqui sarihto mah, katak moe, kahoih cangqui sarihtonawk to caak boih. Faro anglawt naah to hmuen loe, amang ah oh pae.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven wholesome and full heads. Pharaoh woke up, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 Khawnbang phak naah loe a dawnrai; to pongah Izip prae thungah kaom miklet kop kaminawk hoi palungha kaminawk to a kawk boih; Faro mah nihcae khaeah angmah ih amang to thuih pae, toe mi mah doeh leh pae o thai ai.
It came about in the morning that his spirit was troubled. He sent and called for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 To naah boengloeng sinkung mah Faro khaeah, Vaihniah ka poek vawk;
Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am thinking about my offenses.
10 nito naah Faro loe a tamnanawk nuiah palungphui moe, kai hoi buh thongkung to thongim khenzawnkung ih im ah thong ang pakhrak hoi hmaek.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, the chief baker and me.
11 Qumhto naah, anih hoi nawnto amang ka sak hoi; kaimah hnik thuih koehhaih amang to ka sak hoi hmaek.
We dreamed a dream the same night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 To naah misatuh angraeng ih tamna, Hebru kami, thendoeng maeto doeh oh toeng; anih khaeah amang to ka thuih pae hoi, anih mah kaihnik hanah amang ang leh pae; ka sak hoi ih amang to ang leh pae hoi hmaek.
There was with us there a young Hebrew man, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him and he interpreted for us our dreams. He interpreted for each of us according to his dream.
13 Anih mah ang leh pae ih amang baktih toengah, hmuen to oh phaek; kai loe tok ka hnuk let, kalah maeto loe thing nuiah bangh o, tiah a naa.
It came about as he interpreted for us, so it happened. Pharaoh restored me to my post, but the other one he hanged.”
14 To pongah Faro mah Joseph to kawksak; anih to thongim thung hoi karangah angzoh o haih; sam to aah pae moe, khukbuen to angkraisak pacoengah, Faro hmaa ah a caeh.
Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph. They quickly took him out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Amang ka sak, toe mi mah doeh na leh pae o thai ai; toe nang loe amang leh thaih, tiah thuih ih tamthang to ka thaih, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, but there is no interpreter for it. But I have heard about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 Joseph mah Faro khaeah, Kai mah sakthaihaih ka tawn ai; toe Sithaw mah a koehhaih baktih toengah Faro khaeah thui tih, tiah a naa.
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me. God will answer Pharaoh with favor.”
17 To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, khenah, amang ah vapui taengah kang doet;
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the Nile.
18 khenah, vapui thung hoiah krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihto tacawt o moe, vapui taeng ih phrohnawk to a caak o.
Behold, seven cows came up out of the Nile, fat and desirable, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 Khenah, to pacoengah krangsae kathawk ai, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihto tacawt let bae.
Behold, seven other cows came up after them, weak, very undesirable, and thin. I never saw in all the land of Egypt such undesirableness like them.
20 Kasae moe, kathawk ai, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihto mah, tacawt hmaloe krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihtonawk to caak o king;
The thin and undesirable cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 maitawnawk caak o king pacoengah doeh, caak king boeh, tito mi mah doeh panoek thai ai; toe kathawk maitaw kacaa king, kazaek maitawnawk loe, kathawk maitawnawk caa ai nathuem ih baktih toengah, krangset moe, zaek kaeng ah oh o toeng roeng vop. To pongah kang lawt ving.
When they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them, for they were still as undesirable as before. Then I awoke.
22 Amang ka sak let naah, khenah, kahoih parai cangkung maeto nuiah tacawt cangqui sarihto ka hnuk;
I looked in my dream, and, behold, seven heads came up upon one stalk, full and good.
23 khenah, to pacoengah katak ai, kazaek, ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih kamprawk cangqui sarihtonawk to ka hnuk let.
Behold, seven more heads—withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind—sprang up after them.
24 Atak kaom ai, kazaek cangqui mah atak kaom cangqui sarihtonawk to paaeh boih; hae kawng hae miklet kop kaminawk khaeah ka thuih pae; toe mi mah doeh na thui pae o thai ai, tiah a naa.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but there was none that could explain it to me.”
25 To pacoengah Joseph mah Faro khaeah, Faro ih amang loe maeto ah ni oh; Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen loe Faro khaeah amtuengsak boeh.
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are the same. What God is about to do, he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 Kahoih maitaw sarihto loe saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; katak cangqui sarihto doeh saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; amang loe maeto ah ni oh.
The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 To maitawnawk hnukah tacawt krangsae moe, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihtonawk doeh, saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; atak kaom ai, ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih cangqui loe, saning sarihto thung khokha han thuikoehhaih ih ni.
The seven thin and undesirable cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven thin heads scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.
28 Hae loe Faro khaeah ka thuih tangcae ih amang hoiah ni anghmong; Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen to Faro khaeah amtuengsak boeh.
That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has revealed to Pharaoh.
29 Khenah, Izip prae thung boih ah saning sarihto thung angraeng paraihaih to om tih;
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 to pacoengah saning sarihto thung khokhahaih to om tih; to naah Izip prae thungah paroeai angraenghaih to mi mah doeh panoek mak ai boeh; khokhahaih mah prae to amrosak boih tih.
Seven years of famine will come after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will devastate the land.
31 Khokhahaih nung parai pongah, canghniah angraeng paraihaih to mi mah doeh panoek thai mak ai boeh.
The abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe.
32 Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen to caksak boeh pongah, Faro khaeah amang vai hnetto amtuengsak boeh; to pongah akra ai ah Sithaw mah to hmuen to omsak tih.
That the dream was repeated to Pharaoh is because the matter has been established by God, and God will soon do it.
33 To pongah Faro mah, vaihi khopoek thaihaih hoiah palungha kaminawk to pakrong ah loe, Izip prae to uksak ah.
Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and put him over the land of Egypt.
34 Faro mah hae tiah sak na nasoe, prae ukkungnawk to kawk ah loe, prae angraenghaih saning sarihto thung tacawt cang to pangato thungah maeto kok o nasoe.
Let Pharaoh appoint officials over the land, and let them take a fifth of the crops of Egypt in the seven abundant years.
35 Prae angraeng nathung nihcae mah cang to kok o nasoe loe, Faro khaeah suem o nasoe, vangpui kruekah cang to patung o nasoe.
Let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, for food to be used in the cities. They should preserve it.
36 Saning sarihto thung Izip prae khokha naah, khokhahaih mah prae to paro ai ah, prae kaminawk mah caak o thai hanah, hae tiah cang patung han oh, tiah a naa.
The food will be a supply for the land for the seven years of famine which will be in the land of Egypt. In this way the land will not be devastated by the famine.”
37 To tiah Joseph mah thuih ih lok to Faro hoi a tamnanawk boih mah hoih, tiah poek o.
This advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 To pongah Faro mah, a tamnanawk boih khaeah, Sithaw ih Muithla katawn, hae baktih kami a hnu o thai tih maw? tiah a naa.
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Sithaw mah nang khaeah hae hmuennawk hae amtuengsak boih boeh pongah, nang pongah khopoek thaih hoi palungha kami om ai boeh;
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you.
40 nang mah ka imthung to uk ah; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah kai ih kaminawk lokcaek han oh; kai loe angraeng tangkhang pongah kang hnut naah khue ni nang pong ka len kue ah ka om tih, tiah a naa.
You will be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 To pongah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Izip prae boih ukkung ah kang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 To pacoengah Faro mah angmah ih bantuek to angkhring moe, Joseph ih ban ah abuensak; puu kahni to angkhuksak moe, tahnong ah sui bungmu to a oihsak.
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand. He clothed him with clothes of fine linen, and put a gold chain on his neck.
43 Anih mah hnetto haih hrang leeng nuiah Joseph to angthuengsak, kaminawk anih hmaa ah khokkhu cangkrawn oh, tiah hang o. To tiah anih loe Izip prae thung boih ukkung ah oh.
He had him ride in the second chariot which he possessed. Men shouted before him, “Bend the knee.” Pharaoh put him over all the land of Egypt.
44 To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Kai loe Faro ah ka oh, toe nang ih lok ai ah loe mi kawbaktih doeh Izip prae thung boih ah a ban maw, a khok maw phok o thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and apart from you, no man will lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 Faro mah Joseph to Zaphnath Paneah, tiah ahmin paek moe, On vangpui ah kaom qaima Potipherah ih canu, Asenath to anih hanah zu ah a paek; Joseph loe Izip prae thung boih ah caeh.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name “Zaphenath-Paneah.” He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph mah Izip siangpahrang Faro ih toksak pae naah, saning qui thumto oh boeh; Joseph loe Faro hmaa hoi caeh moe, Izip prae to takui boih.
Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Saning sarihto thung prae thungah cang paroeai tacawt.
In the seven bountiful years the land produced abundantly.
48 Joseph mah saning sarihto thung Izip prae thung boih ah cang to pakhueng moe, vangpui kruekah suek; vangpui taeng ih cang boih vangpui thungah pakhuengsak.
He gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put into each city the food from the fields that surrounded it.
49 Anih mah patung ih cang loe tuipui taeng ih savuet baktiah paroeai pop moe, kroek laek ai khoek to pop, kroek doeh kroek thai ai boeh.
Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, so much that he stopped counting, because it was beyond counting.
50 Khokhahaih amtong ai naah, On vangpui ah kaom qaima, Potipherah ih canu Asenath mah, Joseph han capa hnetto sak pae.
Joseph had two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Joseph mah Sithaw mah ka raihaih hoi kam pa ih imthung takoh ang pahnetsak boeh, tiah a thuih pongah calu to Manasse, tiah ahmin phui.
Joseph called the name of his firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household.”
52 A capa hnetto haih loe, Ka patanghaih prae ah Sithaw mah athaih ang thaisak, tiah a thuih pongah Ephraim, tiah ahmin sak.
He called the name of the second son Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Izip prae angraenghaih loe saning sarihto thungah boeng.
The seven years of abundance that was in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 Joseph mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, khokhahaih saning sarihto oh amtong boeh; prae boih ah khokha pongah kaminawk loe duek o, toe Izip prae ah loe buh to oh.
The seven years of famine began, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
55 Izip prae thungah khokhahaih amtong naah, kaminawk loe buh hnik hanah Faro khaeah hang o; to naah Faro mah Izip kaminawk boih khaeah, Joseph khae caeh oh loe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah oh, tiah a naa.
When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people loudly called on Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he says.”
56 Long pum ah khokhahaih to phak, Izip prae thung khokhahaih nung parai boeh pongah, Joseph mah patung ih cang to paongh moe, Izip kaminawk khaeah zawh.
The famine was over all the face of the whole land. Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Prae thung boih ah khokhahaih nung parai boeh pongah, prae kruek ih kaminawk Izip prae ah angzoh o moe, Joseph khaeah cang to qan o.
All the earth was coming to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
