Genesis 41
1 After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river,
Kum hni touh a loum hnukkhu, Faro ni mang a sak teh, thaihaw, palang rai vah a kangdue.
2 Out of which came up seven kine, very beautiful and fat: and they fed in marshy places.
A meikahawi ni teh kathâw e maitomanu hah tui thung hoi a tâco teh pho um vah apa.
3 Other seven also came up out of the river, ill favoured, and leanfleshed: and they fed on the very bank of the river, in green places:
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.
4 And they devoured them, whose bodies were very beautiful and well conditioned. So Pharao awoke.
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.
5 He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair:
Hahoi bout a i teh mang bout a sak. Khenhaw! cakung buet touh dawk kahawi ni teh kalen e cavui sari touh a tâco.
6 Then seven other ears sprung up thin and blasted,
Hahoi khenhaw! kathoengca ni teh Kanîtholae kahlî ni remke lah a hmang e cavui sari touh bout a tâco.
7 And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest:
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.
8 And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it.
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.
9 Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin:
Hatnavah misurtui kapoenaw kaukkung ni Faro koevah, sahnin ka yonnae ka kâpanue.
10 The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers:
A sannaw koevah, Faro a lungkhuek teh karingkungnaw kaukkung im vah kai hoi vaiyei kasakkungnaw kaukkung thongim ka bo roi navah,
11 Where in one night both of us dreamed a dream foreboding things to come.
mang reirei ka sak roi. Kaimouh roi e mang hah deingainae kâvan hoeh e doeh.
12 There was there a young man a Hebrew, servant to the same captain of the soldiers: to whom we told our dreams,
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.
13 And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet.
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.
14 Forthwith at the king’s command, Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him, and changing his apparel, brought him in to him.
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.
15 And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them.
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.
16 Joseph answered: Without me, God shall give Pharao a prosperous answer.
Joseph ni Faro koe hot teh kai koe awm hoeh. Cathut ni Faro koe roumnae lahoi a deicai han doeh telah ati.
17 So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river,
Faro ni Joseph koe ka mang lavah khenhaw! palang rai ka kangdue.
18 And seven kine came up out of the river exceeding beautiful and full of flesh: and they grazed on green places in a marshy pasture.
Hahoi khenhaw! maitomanu a meikahawi ni teh kathâw e sari touh tuithung hoi a tâco teh pho um vah a pâ.
19 And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt:
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.
20 And they devoured and consumed the former,
Hahoi a mei kathout ni teh ka kamsoe e maitomanunaw ni kathâw e maitomanunaw hah koung a ca awh.
21 And yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again,
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.
22 And dreamed a dream: Seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk, full and very fair.
Hahoi ka mang lavah khenhaw! Cakung buet touh dawkvah, cavui kahawipoung e sari touh a tâco.
23 Other seven also thin and blasted, sprung of the stock:
Hahoi khenhaw! cavui sari touh kamyai ni teh kathoengcae, Kanîtholae kahlî ni remke lah a hmang e a tâco e hah bout ka hmu.
24 And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it.
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.
25 Joseph answered: The king’s dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do.
Joseph ni Faro koe Faro nange mang heh buet touh doeh. Cathut ni a sak hane hah Faro koe na panue sak e doeh.
26 The seven beautiful kine, and the seven full ears, are seven years of plenty: and both contain the same meaning of the dream.
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.
27 And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come:
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.
28 Which shall be fulfilled in this order:
Hetheh, Faro koe ka dei e Cathut ni a sak hane Faro a panue sak e doeh.
29 Behold, there shall come seven years of great plenty in the whole land of Egypt:
Izip ram vah khobunae kum sari touh ao han.
30 After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land,
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.
31 And the greatness of the scarcity shall destroy the greatness of the plenty.
Rek ka tho e takang teh puenghoi a pataw han dawkvah, khobunae kum hah pahnim lah ao han.
32 And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily.
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.
33 Now therefore let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and make him ruler over the land of Egypt:
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.
34 That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years,
Faro ni hotheh sak naseh, ram thung vah Izip ram cakang hah pung panga pung touh pâtung naseh.
35 That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up under Pharao’s hands and be reserved in the cities.
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.
36 And let it be in readiness, against the famine of seven years to come, which shall oppress Egypt, and the land shall not be consumed with scarcity.
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.
37 The counsel pleased Pharao and all his servants.
Hottelah pouknae a poe e hah, Faro hoi a sannaw pueng ni ahawi rip ati awh.
38 And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God?
Hottelah Faro ni a sannaw koe het patet e Cathut Muitha onae tami heh hmu thai awh han na ou telah ati.
39 He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee?
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.
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee.
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.
41 And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt.
Faro ni Joseph koe khenhaw! Izip ram pueng dawk kahrawikung lah na ta toe telah ati.
42 And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck.
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.
43 And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt.
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.
44 And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao; without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
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.
45 And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue, The saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt:
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.
46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao) and he went round all the countries of Egypt.
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.
47 And the fruitfulness of the seven years came: and the corn being bound up into sheaves was gathered together into the barns of Egypt.
Khobu kum kum sari touh thung talai ni puenghoi a pawhik a tâco sak.
48 And all the abundance of grain was laid up in every city.
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.
49 And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure.
Joseph ni cakang hah talî teng e sadi patetlah kapappoung lah a pâtung, touk patenghai touk ngai hoeh toe, bangkongtetpawiteh, touklek hoeh toe.
50 And before the famine came, Joseph had two sons born: whom Aseneth the daughter of Putiphare priest of Heliopolis bore unto him.
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.
51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father’s house.
Joseph ni a camin hah Manasseh telah a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni ka tawntamnae hoi apa imthung pueng na pahnim sak telah ati.
52 And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
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.
53 Now when the seven years of the plenty that had been in Egypt were past:
Hottelah Izip ram ka phat e khobu kum teh a loum.
54 The seven years of scarcity, which Joseph had foretold, began to come: and the famine prevailed in the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
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.
55 And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you.
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.
56 And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also.
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.
57 And all provinces came into Egypt, to buy food, and to seek some relief of their want.
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.
