Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan. And, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2 Te phoeiah a manuca khui kah hlang panga a khuen tih Pharaoh hmai ah a khueh.
And he took five men from among his brothers, and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Joseph kah a manuca rhoek te, “Nangmih kah bibi te balae,” a ti nah hatah amih loh Pharaoh la, “Na sal rhoek he kamamih khaw, a pa rhoek long khaw boiva ni ka dawn uh,” a ti na uh.
And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
4 Te phoeiah Pharaoh la, “Kanaan kho ah khokha tlung tih na sal rhoek kah boiva ham a luemnah a om pawt dongah hekah khohmuen ah bakuep ham ka lo uh. Te dongah na sal rhoek he Goshen kho ah kho n'sak sak uh mai,” a ti na uh.
And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Na pa neh na manuca rhoek nang taengah aka lo rhoek te,
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brothers have come to thee.
6 'Na hmai kah Egypt kho khuikah khohmuen then Goshen kho ah na pa neh na manuca rhoek te khosak sak. Te phoeiah amih khuikah tatthai hlang rhoek te na ming atah amih te kai kah boiva mangpa la khueh,” a ti nah tih a uen.
The land of Egypt is before thee. Make thy father and thy brothers to dwell in the best of the land; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou know any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7 Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa Jakob te a khuen tih Pharaoh hmai ah a pai sak hatah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek.
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Jakob la, “Nang kah hingnah a kum khohnin loh meyet a lo van coeng,” a ti nah.
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9 Te dongah Jakob loh Pharaoh la, “Ka lampahnah kum khohnin he kum pasoi neh thumkip vel a pha coeng. Tedae ka hingnah kum khohnin he yoethae yoehu la om tih a pa rhoek a lampahnah tue vaengkah a hingnah kum khohnin te a pha moenih,” a ti nah.
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek tih Pharaoh taeng lamkah pahoi nong.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11 Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah a uen vanbangla Joseph loh a napa neh a manuca rhoek te Egypt kho ah khohut pakhat a paek tih khohmuen then Raameses kho ah kho a sak sak.
And Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 Te dongah Joseph loh a napa neh a manuca rhoek khaw, a napa imkhui boeih neh camoe ka dongkah caak ham khaw a cangbam pah.
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
13 Tedae khokha bahoeng tlung tih Egypt kho neh Kanaan kho te khokha loh a khah dongah kho takuem ah caak om pawh.
And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14 Te vaengah Joseph loh Egypt khohmuen neh Kanaan kho ah cangtham a lai ham rhoek kah tangka a hmuh te boeih a coi. Te phoeiah Joseph loh tangka te Pharaoh im la a khuen.
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 Tedae Egypt kho neh Kanaan kho kah tangka te a khawk uh vaengah Egypt rhoek loh Joseph te boeih a paan uh tih, “Kaimih he caak m'pae laeh. Tangka ka khawk uh cakhaw ba ham lae nang hmaiah ka duek uh eh?,” a ti uh.
And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence? For our money fails.
16 Tedae Joseph loh, “Tangka a boeih oeh atah na boiva te m'pae uh lamtah nangmih kah boiva te kan khueh mako,” a ti nah.
And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if money fails.
17 Te dongah amamih kah boiva te Joseph taengla a khuen uh tih Joseph loh marhang khaw, boiva tuping khaw, saelhung boiva khaw, laak ham khaw caak a paek pah tih tekah kum ah ngawn tah amih kah boiva boeih te khaw caak neh a khool.
And they brought their cattle to Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
18 Tedae tekah kum thok tih a kum bae atah Egypt rhoek loh Joseph taengla halo uh tih, “Ka boeipa taengah ka phah uh moenih. Tangka khaw boeih coeng tih boiva neh rhamsa loh ka boeipa taeng a pha coeng dongah kaimih pum neh ka khohmuen pawt atah ka boeipa hmai ah a paih om voelpawh.
And when that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent, and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
19 ba ham lae nang mikhmuh ah ka duek uh eh. Kaimih he khaw, ka khohmuen he khaw n'lai uh. Kaimih khaw ka khohmuen khaw caak neh ka thung coeng atah kamamih neh ka khohmuen loh Pharaoh sal la ka om uh bitni. Tedae cangti nan paek tih ka hing uh daengah man ka duek uh pawt sui tih tolrhum loh a pong pawt sue,” a ti uh.
Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land not be desolate.
20 Tedae khokha te amih taengah a tlung pah vaengah Egypt rhoek loh a khohmuen rhip a yoih uh tih Egypt kho pum te Pharaoh ham Joseph loh a lai pah coeng dongah Pharaoh kah khohmuen la poeh.
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians, every man, sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Te dongah Egypt khorhi a bawt neh a khat ben lamkah pilnam te amah loh khopuei khuila a puen.
And as for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
22 Tedae khosoih rhoek kah khohmuen ngawn tah Pharaoh loh khosoih rhoek ham a paek khotlueh la a om dongah lai van pawh. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh Pharaoh kah a paek khotlueh te a caak uh tih a khohmuen te yoi uh pawh.
Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
23 Te phoeiah Joseph loh a pilnam la, “Tihnin ah namamih khaw, na khohmuen khaw Pharaoh ham ka lai coeng he. Tedae cangti he namamih ham lo uh lamtah khohmuen te tawn uh ngawn.
Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
24 A vuei a thaih a om vaengah panga te Pharaoh taengah pae uh lamtah pali te namamih ham neh lohma kah cangti la, namah cako a caak ham neh na ca rhoek loh a caak ham khaw om saeh,” a ti nah.
And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for food for your little ones.
25 Te vaengah, “Ka boeipa kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la m'hmuh uh tih mamih n'hlun atah Pharaoh taengah sal la ka om uh bitni,” a ti uh.
And they said, Thou have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 Te dongah Joseph loh a khueh oltlueh vanbangla tahae khohnin duela Egypt kho ah hlopnga te Pharaoh hut la om. Khosoih rhoek kah khohmuen bueng te amamih loh a hutnah tih Pharaoh hut la om pawh.
And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
27 Te vaengah Israel loh Egypt kho kah Goshen khohmuen ah kho a sak tih a kawt la a kawt dongah pungtai uh tih muep ping uh.
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they got possessions in it, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 Jakob khaw Egypt kho ah kum hlai rhih hing tih Jakob kah a hingnah kum khohnin long khaw kum pasoi likip neh kum rhih lo coeng.
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty-seven years.
29 Te vaengah Isreal kah a duek ham khohnin loh a yoei coeng dongah a capa Joseph te a khue tih, “Nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang atah ka phai hmuiah na kut tloeng laeh. Sitlohnah neh uepomnah khaw Kai ham na saii atah kai he Egypt kho n'up boel mai.
And the time drew near that Israel must die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
30 Te phoeiah a pa rhoek taengah ka yalh atah kai he Egypt lamkah nan khuen vetih amih kah phuel ah nan up ni,” a ti nah hatah, “Na ol bangla kamah loh ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place. And he said, I will do as thou have said.
31 Te vaengah, “Kamah taengah toemngam dae,” a ti nah hatah a toemngam tih Israel te baiphaih dongkah a lu taengah bakop.
And he said, Swear to me, and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
