Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come from the land of Canaan; and behold, they [are] in the land of Goshen.
2 Te phoeiah a manuca khui kah hlang pangaa khuen tih Pharaoh hmai aha khueh.
And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Joseph kah a manucarhoek te, “Nangmih kah bibite balae,” a tinah 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 brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.
4 Te phoeiah Pharaoh la, “Kanaan kho ah khokha tlung tih na salrhoek kah boiva hama luemnahaom 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.
They said moreover to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land: for thy servants have no pasture for their 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 manucarhoek nang taengah aka lo rhoek te,
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren have come to thee:
6 'Na hmai kah Egypt kho khuikah khohmuen then Goshen kho ah na pa neh na manucarhoek te khosak sak. Te phoeiah amih khuikah tatthai hlangrhoek tena ming atah amihte kai kah boiva mangpa la khueh,” a ti nah tih a uen.
The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell; and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7 Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa Jakob tea khuen tih Pharaoh hmai aha 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 hingnaha kum khohnin loh meyet a lo van coeng,” a ti nah.
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How old [art] thou?
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 parhoek a lampahnah tue vaengkaha hingnah kum khohnin tea 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, nor have they 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 before Pharaoh.
11 Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah a uen vanbangla Joseph loh a napa neh a manucarhoek te Egypt kho ah khohut pakhat a paektih khohmuen then Raameses kho ah kho a sak sak.
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, 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 manucarhoek khaw, a napa imkhui boeih neh camoe ka dongkah caak ham khaw a cangbam pah.
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread according to [their] families.
13 Tedae khokha bahoeng tlung tih Egypt kho neh Kanaan khote khokha loha khah dongah kho takuem ah caak om pawh.
And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine [was] very distressing, so that the land of Egypt, and [all] 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 tangkaa hmuh te boeiha coi. Te phoeiah Joseph loh tangka te Pharaoh im laa khuen.
And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 Tedae Egypt kho neh Kanaan kho kah tangka tea khawk uh vaengah Egypt rhoek loh Joseph te boeiha paanuh 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 money failed 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 the money faileth.
16 Tedae Joseph loh, “Tangkaa 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 hath failed.
17 Te dongah amamih kah boiva te Joseph taenglaa khuen uh tih Joseph loh marhang khaw, boiva tuping khaw, saelhung boiva khaw, laak ham khaw caaka paek pah tih tekah kum ah ngawn tah amih kah boiva boeih te khaw caak neha khool.
And they brought their cattle to Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses; and he fed them with bread, for all their cattle, for that year.
18 Tedae tekah kum thok tiha 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 aha paih om voelpawh.
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 spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not aught 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 tolrhumloh a pong pawt sue,” a ti uh.
Why shall we die before thy 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, that the land be not desolate.
20 Tedae khokha te amih taengaha tlung pah vaengah Egypt rhoek loh a khohmuen rhipa yoih uh tih Egypt kho pum te Pharaoh ham Josephloh a lai pah coeng dongah Pharaoh kah khohmuen la poeh.
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Te dongah Egypt khorhia bawt neh a khat ben lamkah pilnam te amah loh khopuei khuilaa puen.
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.
22 Tedae khosoih rhoek kah khohmuen ngawn tah Pharaoh loh khosoihrhoek ham a paek khotlueh la a om dongah lai van pawh. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh Pharaoh kah a paek khotlueh tea caak uh tih a khohmuen te yoi uh pawh.
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion [assigned them] by Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
23 Te phoeiah Josephloh a pilnam la, “Tihninah 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 pangate Pharaoh taengah pae uh lamtah palite namamih ham neh lohma kah cangti la, namah cakoa caak ham neh na carhoek loha caak ham khaw om saeh,” a ti nah.
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth [part] to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them 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 hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 Te dongah Josephloh a khueh oltlueh vanbangla tahae khohnin duela Egypt kho ah hlopngate Pharaoh hut la om. Khosoih rhoek kah khohmuen buengte amamih loh a hutnah tih Pharaoh hut la om pawh.
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except the land of the priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.
27 Te vaengah Israel loh Egypt kho kah Goshen khohmuen ahkhoa sak tih a kawt la a kawt dongah pungtai uh tih muep ping uh.
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions in it and grew, 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 whole age of Jacob was a hundred and forty seven years.
29 Te vaengah Isreal kah a duek ham khohninloh a yoei coeng dongah a capa Joseph tea khue tih, “Nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang atah ka phai hmuiah na kut tloeng laeh. Sitlohnah neh uepomnah khaw Kai hamna saii atah kai he Egypt kho n'up boel mai.
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
30 Te phoeiah a parhoek taengah ka yalh atah kai he Egypt lamkah nan khuen vetih amih kah phuel ah nan up ni,” a tinah hatah, “Na ol bangla kamah loh ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
31 Te vaengah, “Kamah taengah toemngam dae,” a tinah hataha toemngam tih Israelte baiphaih dongkah a lu taengah bakop.
And he said, Swear to me: and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
