< Genesis 47 >

1 Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.
Joseph ni Faro koevah, apa hoi ka hmaunawnghanaw tuhu, maitohu a tawn awh e naw pueng hoi Kanaan ram hoi a tho awh, atu Goshen ram vah ao awh telah ati.
2 And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.
A hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi tami panga touh a hrawi teh Faro koe a ceikhai.
3 And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.
Faro ni a hmaunawnghanaw koevah, bang thaw maw ouk na tawk awh telah a pacei. Ahnimanaw ni Faro koevah, na sannaw teh ka mintoenaw se nah hoi atu totouh tu doeh ka khoum awh, telah ati awh.
4 And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.
Ahnimouh ni Faro koevah, hete ram dawk o hanelah ka tho awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, takang Kanaan ram dawk a pataw teh saringnaw hanlah hram awm hoeh toe. Hatdawkvah pahren lahoi na sannaw heh Goshen ram dawk na awm sak awh loe, telah ati awh.
5 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.
Faro ni Joseph a pato teh, na pa hoi na hmaunawnghanaw heh nang koe a tho awh toe.
6 And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.
Izip ram teh na hmalah doeh ao, na pa hoi na hmaunawnghanaw teh kahawi e ram dawk awm sak, Goshen ram dawk kho sak awh naseh. Ahnimouh thung dawk hno ka sak thai e tami na panue e awm pawiteh ka saringnaw lathueng kahrawikung lah na ta han, telah ati.
7 Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.
Joseph ni a na pa Jakop hah a kâenkhai teh Faro hmalah a kangdue sak teh, Jakop ni Faro hah yawhawi a poe.
8 And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?
Faro ni Jakop koevah, kum nâyittouh maw na pha toung telah a pacei.
9 And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.
Jakop ni Faro koevah kahlawng ka ceinae hnin hoi ka kumnaw teh 130 touh a pha toe. Ka hringnae kumnaw a duem teh a ru, na kakhekungnaw kahlawng ceinae hoi kumnaw hai khout hoeh telah ati.
10 And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.
Jakop ni Faro yawhawi a poe teh Faro koehoi a tâco.
11 And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.
Hottelah Joseph ni a na pa hoi a hmaunawnghanaw kho a sak sak. Faro ni kâpoe e patetlah Izip ram thung e kahawipoung e ram Raameses ram dawk e ram hah râw lah a poe.
12 And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.
Hahoi Joseph ni a na pa hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a na pa imthungnaw pueng, a imthungnaw lahoi canei hanlah a poe.
13 Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.
Hote ramnaw pueng dawk canei hane awm hoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, takang puenghoi a tho. Hote takang dawk Izip ram hoi Kanaan ram teh a patang poung awh.
14 And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.
Joseph ni cakang a ranae phu, Izip hoi Kanaan ramnaw pueng dawk hoi a hmu e tangkanaw hah Faro im lah a ceikhai.
15 And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.
Izip ram hoi Kanaan ram e tangkanaw abaw toteh, Izip taminaw pueng teh Joseph koe a tho awh teh, canei hanelah na poe awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, bangkongmaw na hmalah ka due awh han vaw, tangka awm hoeh toe, telah ati awh.
16 And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.
Joseph ni saringnaw hah na poe awh. Tangka awm hoeh toung pawiteh, na saringnaw e phu lah canei hanlah na poe awh han, telah atipouh.
17 So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.
Hat toteh, a saringnaw Joseph koe a ceikhai awh teh, Joseph ni marang, tu, hoi maito hoi lanaw e phu lah canei hanlah a poe. Hatnae kum dawk teh saringnaw e phu lah canei poe e lahoi a kawk.
18 And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;
Kum a baw teh, kum katha dawk ahni koe bout a tho awh teh, kaimouh e tangkanaw pueng abaw toe. Saringnaw a bawnae kong dawk banghai ka paphat awh hoeh. Bawipa na mithmu vah kaimouh miphun hoi lawhmuen laipalah banghai awm hoeh toe.
19 Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.
Bangkongmaw na hmalah ka due awh han, kamamouh hai, lawhmuen hai na ran awh ngala lawih, telah pawiteh doeh kamamouh hoi lawhmuennaw pueng Faro e san lah ka o awh han, dout laipalah ka hring awh nahan hoi lawhmuennaw kingdi hoeh nahan, cati na poe leih telah ati awh.
20 So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.
Hat toteh, Joseph ni Izip ram naw pueng Faro hanlah a ran pouh. Takang puenghoi a tho dawkvah Izip taminaw pueng ni lawhmuennaw he a yo awh teh, lawhmuennaw teh Faro e lah he ao.
21 And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.
Taminaw teh Izip ramri avanglah hoi avanglah totouh kho tangkuem dawk a kampuen awh.
22 Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.
Vaihmanaw e ram teh ran pouh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh vaihmanaw ni Faro koehoi ham hane ao teh Faro ni ham a poe e naw hah a canei awh dawkvah, lawhmuen hah yawt awh hoeh.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.
Hat hnukkhu, Joseph ni taminaw pueng koe, khenhaw! sahnin dawk namamouh hoi na lawhmuennaw hah Faro hanlah ka ran toe. Khenhaw! haw vah cati ao. Talai dawk na tu awh han.
24 And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.
Hahoi cakang na hmu awh toteh, hettelah Faro hanlah pung panga pung touh na poe awh vaiteh, pung pali touh e teh namamouh hanelah ao han. Hottelah law dawk bout na tu hane hoi namamouh imthungnaw ca hane hoi na canaw ca hanelah na ta awh han telah ati.
25 And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Ahnimouh ni, nang ni kaimouh hringnae na hlout sak toe. Ka bawipa ni na pahren naseh, Faro e san lah ka o awh han telah ati awh.
26 Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.
Hottelah Faro ni pung panga pung touh poe e hmunae dawk vah, Izip ram dawk atu totouh Joseph ni phung a sak. Vaihmanaw e lawhmuen dueng teh Faro e lah awm hoeh.
27 And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.
Hahoi Isarelnaw teh Izip ram e Goshen ram dawk kho a sak awh teh, hnopainaw a hmu awh teh ca catounnaw moikapap a pungdaw awh.
28 And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.
Jakop teh Izip ram vah kum 17 touh ao. Hottelah Jakop hringnae kum 147 touh a pha.
29 And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;
Hattoteh Isarel due nahane a hnai toung dawkvah, a capa Joseph hah a kaw teh a im vah, na lung ka youk pawiteh, pahren lahoi na kut hah ka phai rahak vah tat haw, na pahren nateh kaie lathueng vah atangcalah na sak han, pahren lahoi Izip ram dawk na pakawm hanh lah a.
30 But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.
Mintoenaw koe ka kâhat toteh nang ni Izip ram thung hoi na hrawm na teh, ahnimouh pakawpnae koe na pakawp van loe, telah ati. Ahni ni na dei e patetlah ka sak han, telah ati.
31 And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
Ahni ni kai koe thoekâbo loe, telah atipouh teh, ahni koe thoe a kâbo. Hahoi Isarel teh amae ikhun dawk a tabo.
