Suencuek 41
1 Te phoeiah om tih kum a thok tue vaengah Pharaoh loh mang a man tih sokko taengah ana pai.
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
2 Te vaengah vaito pumrhih, a mueimae sakthen neh a pum aka toitup te sokko lamkah lawt halo tih capu ding ah luem uh.
And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 Amih hnukah a mueimae thae tih a pum aka cangkhawk vaito pumrhih te khaw sokko lamkah lawt ha thoeng bal tih sokko kaeng kah vaito kaepah pai uh.
And look, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, miserable-looking and thin, and stood by the other cows at the edge of the Nile.
4 Tedae a mueimae thae tih a pum aka cangkhawk vaito pumrhih loh a mueimae sakthen neh aka toitup vaito te a caak uh vaengah Pharaoh haenghang.
The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Te phoeiah ip tih a pabae la mang a man hatah cangvuei thamkom neh aka then parhih te a cangkong pakhat dongah tarha vuei.
And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 Te phoeiah aka om cangvuei thamyit parhih te tah a hnukah kanghawn loh a yah tih a hum sak.
Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Tedae cangvuei thamyit parhih loh cangvuei thamkom neh cangtak te a yoop vaengah Pharaoh haenghang tih a mang la pawk.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, it was a dream.
8 Te dongah mincang a pha vaengah tah a mueihla a cahoeh. Egypt hmayuep boeih neh aka cueih boeih te khaw a tah tih a khue. Tedae Pharaoh loh amih taengah a mang te a thui hatah Pharaoh ham aka thuicaih thai om pawh.
It happened in the morning that his mind was troubled, so he summoned all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 Te daengah tuitul mangpa loh Pharaoh taengah, “Tihnin ah ni kamah tholh te ka poek.
Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
10 Pharaoh loh a sal rhoek taengah a thintoek tih kai neh buh thong mangpa te imtawt mangpa kah im thongim la n'khoh.
Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
11 Tedae hlaem pakhat ah kai khaw anih khaw mang ka man rhoi hatah mang thuingaihnah rhirha aka om te ka man rhoi.
We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
12 Te vaengah imtawt mangpa kah sal, Hebrew cadong te kaimih taengah om. Te dongah anih ham ka thui pah rhoi dongah kaimih rhoi kah mang te kaimih rhoi ham a thuicaih. Hlang kah a mang khaw a thuicaih.
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guards, and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us, to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
13 Kaimih rhoi taengah a thuicaih vanbangla om tih a thoeng dongah kai he ka hmuen koep han khueh vaengah anih te a kuiok sak,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
And it happened just the way he interpreted them to us, so it was: I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."
14 Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph te a tah tih a khue sak vanbangla anih te tangrhom khui lamkah koe a doek uh tih sam a vok, himbai a tho phoeiah Pharaoh taengla cet.
Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Mang ka man tih aka thuicaih a om pawt vaengah aka thuicaih ham nang loh mang na yakming a ti tih nang kawng te ka yaak,” a ti nah.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, but there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
16 Tedae Joseph loh Pharaoh te a doo tih, “Kai moenih, Pharaoh te Pathen loh ngaimongnah neh n'doo bitni,” a ti nah.
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
17 Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph te, “Ka mang ah sokko kaeng la ka pai.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
18 Tedae vaito a pumsa aka toitup tih a suisak sakthen pumrhih te sokko lamkah lawt halo tih capu ding ah luem uh.
And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 Amih hnukah vaito a tloe pumrhih halo bal dae tattloel la a suisak khaw bahoeng thae tih a pum pim. Tetla thaenah tah Egypt kho tom ah ka hmu pawh.
And look, seven other cows came up after them, scrawny and very miserable-looking and thin. I had never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt.
20 Te vaengah vaito aka pim neh a thae pumrhih loh lamhma kah vaito aka tha rhoek te a caak uh.
The thin and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 Tedae amih ko khuila a kun uh thuk lalah a moecuek vaengkah bangla a mueimae a thae dongah amih ko khuila a kun uh te thui la a hut pawt vaengah ka haenghang.
But when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as miserable-looking as at the beginning. Then I woke up.
22 Te phoeikah ka mang ah khaw cangvuei thamkom neh a then thamrhih te a cangkong pakhat dongah ha thoeng te lawt ka hmuh.
And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23 Amih hnukkah cangvuei parih thamyit neh aka rhae, kanghawn loh a yah tih aka hum te tarha halo van.
And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
24 Te vaengah cangvuei aka yit rhoek loh cangvuei a then thamrhih te a dolh dongah hmayuep rhoek ham ka thui pah dae kai taengah aka puen om pawh,” a ti nah.
And the seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. And I told it to the magicians, but no one could tell me its meaning."
25 Te dongah Joseph loh Pharaoh la, “Pharaoh kah a mang he pakhat ni. Pathen loh a saii te Pharaoh taengah a phoe coeng.
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 Vaito aka then pumrhih khaw kum rhih tih, cangvuei a then parhih khaw kum rih, a mang te pakhat ni.
The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 Amih hnukah aka thoeng vaito pumrhih aka pim tih aka thae te khaw kum rhih tih, cangvuei aka hi tih kanghawn loh a hum sak parhih te khokha kum rhih ni.
And the seven thin and miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.
28 Pharaoh taengah kan thui vanbangla Pathen loh a saii hno he Pharaoh a tueng coeng.
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 Aka lo ham kum rhih te Egypt kho tom ah khobuh khungdaeng ni te.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 Tedae a hnukah khokha kum rhih pai vetih Egypt kho kah khobuh te boeih a hnilh ni. Te vaengah khohmuen khaw khokha loh a khah ni.
But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land,
31 Te dongah a hnuk lamtah khokha bahoeng nah vetih khobuh te vang khui loh ming mahpawh.
and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32 Pharaoh taengah a pabae la mang a rhaep he khaw Pathen taeng lamloh olka a cikngae sak dongah Pathen loh tlek a saii ni.
Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
33 Te dongah Pharaoh loh, aka yakming tih aka cueih hlang te so lamtah anih te Egypt kho ah khueh laeh saeh.
Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Khohmuen ah hlangtawt rhoek te Pharaoh loh tuek saeh lamtah khobuh kum kumrhih khuiah Egypt kho kah panga pakhat aka coi la om saeh.
Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35 Te daengah ni kum then a pai vaengkah caak boeih te a coi uh eh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh kut hmuiah cangpai a tung uh vetih khopuei ah caak khaw a cuem eh.
They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve it.
36 Kho kah hnokhueh dongah caak a om daengah ni khokha loh Egypt kho khui la kum kumrhih a pai vaengah khohmuen te khokha loh a tulnoi pawt eh,” a ti nah.
That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine."
37 Tekah olka ngawn tah Pharaoh mik neh a sal rhoek boeih kah mik ah a thuem sak.
The proposal was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 Te dongah Pharaoh loh a sal rhoek la, “Hekah hlang bangla a khuiah Pathen mueihla aka om te m'hmuh noek nim?” a ti nah.
Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Ruach of God?"
39 Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Hekah boeih he Pathen loh nang m'ming sak dongah nang bangla aka thuep neh aka cueih he om pawh.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 Kai im ah nang om lamtah nang kah olpaek te ka pilnam boeih loh ngai saeh. Ka ngolkhoel bueng nen mah nang lakah ka ham mai eh,” a ti nah.
You will be in charge of my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
41 Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “So lah, Egypt kho pum kah a soah nang ni kan hut sak coeng,” a ti nah.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge over all the land of Egypt."
42 Pharaoh loh a kut dongkah a kutcaeng te a dul tih Joseph kah kut ah a buen pah. Hnitang himbai neh a khuk phoeiah a rhawn ah sui oi a oi sak.
Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 Leng dongah khaw a hnukthoi la a ngol sak tih, “Anih hmai ah cungkueng uh,” hlo a phoek uh tih Egypt kho boeih kah a soah Joseph te a khueh.
And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they called out before him, "Bow the knee. " So he put him in charge over the entire land of Egypt.
44 Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Kai he Pharaoh coeng dae nang muehah hlang loh a kut khaw a kho khaw Egypt kho tom ah thueng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will do anything or go anywhere in all the land of Egypt."
45 Joseph ming khaw Pharaoh loh Zephenathpaneah la a khue tih a yuu la Oni khosoih Potiphera canu Asenath te a paek. Te phoeiah Joseph loh Egypt kho tom a hil.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. So Joseph went out through the land of Egypt.
46 Egypt manghai Pharaoh taengla a kun vaengah Joseph te kum sawmthum lo ca pueng. Tedae Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh Joseph nong tih Egypt kho tom boeih a hil.
Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Te phoeiah khobuhnah kum rhih khuiah tah khohmuen te kutvang long khaw a thaih sak.
During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
48 Te dongah Egypt kho kah aka thoeng kho kum rhih kah caak boeih te a coi tih khopuei boeih ah caak a tung. Khopuei kaepvai kah khohmuen cang khaw a khui ah a khueh.
And he collected all the food during the seven years when there was abundance in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from the fields surrounding it.
49 Joseph loh cang a tung vaengah tuitunli kah laivin bangla muep a yet dongah a loeng tloel tih a tae ham khaw a toeng.
Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, because it could not be measured.
50 Khokha kum halo hlanah Oni khosoih Potiphera canu Asenath loh ca a cun pah tih Joseph loh capa panit a sak.
To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 Te vaengah Joseph loh, “Ka thakthaenah boeih neh a pa cako boeih te Pathen loh kai n'hnilh sak,” a ti dongah a caming te a ming Manasseh a sui.
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
52 A ca pabae ming te khaw, “Kai kah phacipphabaem kho ah Pathen loh kai m'pungtai sak,” a ti dongah Ephraim a sui.
And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
53 Tedae Egypt kho ah khobuh kum rhih aka om te bawt.
And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 Joseph loh a thui vanbangla aka lo ham khokha kum rhih a tong dongah paeng tom ah khokha om coeng dae Egypt kho pum ah caak om pueng.
Then the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
55 Tedae Egypt kho kho boeih loh a lamlum van vaengah tah pilnam loh caak ham te Pharaoh taengla pang uh. Te dongah Pharaoh loh Egypt rhoek boeih te, “Joseph taengla cet uh lamtah nangmih taengah a thui bangla saii uh,” a ti nah.
When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph. Whatever he says to you, do."
56 Khokha loh diklai hman boeih te a pha vaengah a kho khuikah aka om cangpai boeih te Joseph loh a hlah tih Egypt rhoek ham a yoih pah dongah Egypt kho kah khokha te a noeng.
So the famine was over all the surface of the land. Then Joseph opened all the storehouses of grain and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Paeng tom long khaw koivawn ham Egypt kah Joseph te a paan uh dongah paeng tom kah khokha khaw a talong.
And all the countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
