Kamtawngnae 41
1 Kum hni touh a loum hnukkhu, Faro ni mang a sak teh, thaihaw, palang rai vah a kangdue.
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
2 A meikahawi ni teh kathâw e maitomanu hah tui thung hoi a tâco teh pho um vah apa.
And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 Hahoi khenhaw! maitomanu sari touh, a meikahawi hoeh ni teh kamsoe e hah tui thung hoi a tâco van teh palang rai vah kangdout e maitomanu teng vah a kangdue.
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 Maitomanunaw a meikahawihoeh ni teh kamsoe e naw ni a meikahawi ni teh kathâw e naw hah koung a ca awh. Hahoi teh Faro teh vak a kâhlaw.
The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 Hahoi bout a i teh mang bout a sak. Khenhaw! cakung buet touh dawk kahawi ni teh kalen e cavui sari touh a tâco.
And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 Hahoi khenhaw! kathoengca ni teh Kanîtholae kahlî ni remke lah a hmang e cavui sari touh bout a tâco.
Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 Cavui kathoengcae sari touh ni, cavui kalen ni teh kahawi e sari touh hah koung a payawp awh. Faro vak a kâhlaw teh khenhaw! mang lah ao.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, it was a dream.
8 A tangtho torei, a muitha a lungpuen teh tami a patoun. Izip ram e mitpaleikathoumnaw hoi tami lungang pueng a kaw teh Faro ni a mang hah a dei pouh. Hahoi Faro hanelah ka deicai thai e buet touh boehai awm hoeh.
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 Hatnavah misurtui kapoenaw kaukkung ni Faro koevah, sahnin ka yonnae ka kâpanue.
Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
10 A sannaw koevah, Faro a lungkhuek teh karingkungnaw kaukkung im vah kai hoi vaiyei kasakkungnaw kaukkung thongim ka bo roi navah,
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 mang reirei ka sak roi. Kaimouh roi e mang hah deingainae kâvan hoeh e doeh.
We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
12 Hawvah kaimouh karingkung e san Hebru tami buet touh ao teh mang hah ka dei pouh roi. Ahni ni mang heh a deicai teh ka mang roi e patetlah a deicai van.
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 A deicai e patetlah mang teh reirei a tâco van. Kai teh thaw bout tawk sak lah ka o teh, ahni teh kai thi sak e lah ao telah ati.
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 Hat toteh, Faro ni Joseph hah tang a kaw sak. Ka rang poung lah thongim thung a thung patuen dawk e a rasa awh teh, a pâkhamuen a ngaw hnukkhu a khohna a kâthung teh Faro koe a kâen.
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 Faro ni Joseph koe mang ka sak teh ka deicaikung apihai awm hoeh. Hatei nang ni mang heh na thaipanuek teh, na deicai thai telah ayânaw ni dei e hah ka thai telah ati.
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 Joseph ni Faro koe hot teh kai koe awm hoeh. Cathut ni Faro koe roumnae lahoi a deicai han doeh telah ati.
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
17 Faro ni Joseph koe ka mang lavah khenhaw! palang rai ka kangdue.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
18 Hahoi khenhaw! maitomanu a meikahawi ni teh kathâw e sari touh tuithung hoi a tâco teh pho um vah a pâ.
And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 Hahoi alouke maitomanu a meikamathout niteh, ka kamsoe e hot patet e meimathout teh Izip ram pueng dawk patenghai ka hmu boihoeh e hah a tâco.
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 Hahoi a mei kathout ni teh ka kamsoe e maitomanunaw ni kathâw e maitomanunaw hah koung a ca awh.
The thin and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 Koung a ca awh hnukkhu patenghai yah apinihai a ca awh tie panuek kalawn hoeh. A ca awh hoehnahlan e patetlah a mei a mathoe awh mingming, hahoi vak ka kâhlaw.
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 Hahoi ka mang lavah khenhaw! Cakung buet touh dawkvah, cavui kahawipoung e sari touh a tâco.
And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23 Hahoi khenhaw! cavui sari touh kamyai ni teh kathoengcae, Kanîtholae kahlî ni remke lah a hmang e a tâco e hah bout ka hmu.
And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
24 Cavui kathoutnaw ni cavui kahawinaw sari touh hah koung a ca awh. Hote mang hah mitpaleikathoumnaw ka dei pouh ei, apinihai deicai thai awh hoeh, telah a dei.
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 Joseph ni Faro koe Faro nange mang heh buet touh doeh. Cathut ni a sak hane hah Faro koe na panue sak e doeh.
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 Meikahawi e maitomanu sari touh teh kum sari touh doeh. Kahawi e cavui sari touh hai kum sari touh doeh. Mang teh buet touh doeh.
The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 Hahoi a hnukkhu vah ka tâcawt e a mei kathout ni teh ka kamsoe e maitomanu sari touh hai kum sari touh doeh. Cavui sari touh Kanîtholae kahlî ni remke lah a hmang e hai kum sari touh doeh.
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 Hetheh, Faro koe ka dei e Cathut ni a sak hane Faro a panue sak e doeh.
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 Izip ram vah khobunae kum sari touh ao han.
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 Hatei, hat hnukkhu takangnae kum sari touh bout ao han. Hottelah takang ni ram teh voutthoup lah ao sak han dawkvah, khobunae kum pueng hah Izip ram teh pahnim e lah ao han.
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 Rek ka tho e takang teh puenghoi a pataw han dawkvah, khobunae kum hah pahnim lah ao han.
and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32 Hahoi mang vai hni totouh Faro a mangsaknae teh hete hno kecu dawk doeh. Sak hane teh Cathut ni a caksak teh Cathut roeroe ni karanglah a pha sak han.
Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
33 Hatdawkvah, Faro ni tami buet touh a lungkaang e hoi kho ka pouk thai e tawng nateh Izip ram vah kahrawikung lah awm sak naseh.
Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
34 Faro ni hotheh sak naseh, ram thung vah Izip ram cakang hah pung panga pung touh pâtung naseh.
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 Ahnimouh ni khobu kum cakang pung hah pâkhueng vaiteh Faro kâtawnnae rahim vah o hanelah kho tangkuem hmalah ca hane pâtung naseh, khenyawn awh naseh.
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 Hottelah takang kecu dawk ram a rawk hoeh nahanlah, takangnae kum kum sari touh Izip ram ka phat hane dawkvah, kâhruetcuet lah ao han, telah ati.
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 Hottelah pouknae a poe e hah, Faro hoi a sannaw pueng ni ahawi rip ati awh.
The proposal was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 Hottelah Faro ni a sannaw koe het patet e Cathut Muitha onae tami heh hmu thai awh han na ou telah ati.
Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
39 Faro ni Joseph koe Cathut ni hote hnonaw pueng hah na panue sak dawkvah, nang patetlae tami lungkaang hoi hno kaawm hane oang ka panuek e awm hoeh.
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 Nang teh kaie imthung karingkung lah na o han, ka taminaw pueng hah nange kâ lahoi ao awh han, bawitungkhung dueng hah nang hlak kai bet ka lenhnawn han telah ati.
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 Faro ni Joseph koe khenhaw! Izip ram pueng dawk kahrawikung lah na ta toe telah ati.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge over all the land of Egypt."
42 Faro ni kutnoutthutnae kuthrawt hah a rading teh, Joseph kut dawk a buet pouh, hni loukloukkaang e hoi sak e hah a kâkhu sak teh a lahuen dawk sui dingyin hah a awi 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 A tawn e leng kahni touh dawk a kâcui sak teh, a hmalah tabut awh, telah a hram awh. Hottelah Izip ram thung kahrawikung lah a coung sak.
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 Faro ni Joseph koevah, kai teh Faro doeh, nange kâpoe laipalah Izip ram thung pueng a kut hai thoseh, a khok hai thoseh, dâw thai mahoeh telah ati.
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 Faro ni Joseph hah Zaphnath-Paaneah telah min a poe. On kho e vaihma Potiphar canu Asenath hah a yu lah a paluen pouh awh. Hahoi Joseph teh Izip ram kaukkung lah ahni koehoi a cei.
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 Joseph teh Izip siangpahrang Faro hmalah a kangdue navah, kum 30 touh doeh Joseph teh Faro koehoi a tâco teh Izip ram pueng dawk a cei.
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 Khobu kum kum sari touh thung talai ni puenghoi a pawhik a tâco sak.
During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
48 Izip ram e khobu kum kum sari touh thung e cakang pueng hah a pâkhueng teh kho tangkuem tengpam e cakang hah a hmouk sak.
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 ni cakang hah talî teng e sadi patetlah kapappoung lah a pâtung, touk patenghai touk ngai hoeh toe, bangkongtetpawiteh, touklek hoeh toe.
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 Hahoi takang a tho hoehnahlan vah Joseph ni capa kahni toun a tawn. Hotnaw teh On kho vaihma Potiphar canu Asenath ni a khe pouh e naw doeh.
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 Joseph ni a camin hah Manasseh telah a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni ka tawntamnae hoi apa imthung pueng na pahnim sak telah ati.
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
52 Hahoi a capa apâhni e min teh Ephraim telah a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni kaie runae ram dawk ca catounnaw na tawn sak telah ati.
And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
53 Hottelah Izip ram ka phat e khobu kum teh a loum.
And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 Hahoi takang kum kum sari touh Joseph ni a dei tangcoung patetlah a kamtawng teh ram pueng dawk a pha. Hatei, Izip ram pueng dawk rawca ao.
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 Hottelah Izip ram pueng teh takang ni koung a pha toteh, Faro koe rawca hei hoi a hram awh. Faro ni Izipnaw pueng koe Joseph koe cet awh nateh, a dei e pueng sak awh telah atipouh.
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 Hahoi takang teh talai van pueng a pha teh, Joseph ni cakang pâtungnae tâsong pueng hah a paawng teh Izipnaw koevah a yo pouh. Izip ram vah takang teh puenghoi a pataw.
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 Talai van pueng dawk takang teh a pataw poung dawkvah, kho tangkuem e tami pueng teh cakang ran hanelah Izip ram e Joseph koe a cei awh.
And all the countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
