Genesis 47
1 Joseph went to report to Pharaoh and told him, “My father and brothers, along with their flocks and herds and all their possessions, have arrived from the land of Canaan and now they're here in 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 Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
A hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi tami panga touh a hrawi teh Faro koe a ceikhai.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
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 “We have come to live in Egypt because there's no grass left in Canaan for our flocks to eat,” they explained. “The famine is really bad in Canaan. So we would like to please ask permission to live in 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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
Faro ni Joseph a pato teh, na pa hoi na hmaunawnghanaw heh nang koe a tho awh toe.
6 you can choose wherever you like in Egypt, the best place, for them to live. Let them live in Goshen. If you know any of them who are good at what they do, put them in charge of my livestock as well.”
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 went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
Joseph ni a na pa Jakop hah a kâenkhai teh Faro hmalah a kangdue sak teh, Jakop ni Faro hah yawhawi a poe.
8 Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
Faro ni Jakop koevah, kum nâyittouh maw na pha toung telah a pacei.
9 “I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
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 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
Jakop ni Faro yawhawi a poe teh Faro koehoi a tâco.
11 So Joseph arranged for his father and brothers to live in Egypt and gave them land in the best part near Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
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 He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
Hahoi Joseph ni a na pa hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a na pa imthungnaw pueng, a imthungnaw lahoi canei hanlah a poe.
13 No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
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 By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
Joseph ni cakang a ranae phu, Izip hoi Kanaan ramnaw pueng dawk hoi a hmu e tangkanaw hah Faro im lah a ceikhai.
15 Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
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 “Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
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 brought Joseph their livestock, and he provided them with grain in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. He gave them grain in return for their livestock during that year.
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 But when that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, “My lord, we can't hide from you the fact that our money is gone and that you now own our livestock. All we have left to give you are 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 Do you want us to die right in front of you? So buy us and our land in return for food. Then our land will belong to Pharaoh, and we'll be his slaves. Just give us grain so we can live and won't die, and so the land won't be abandoned.”
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 bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Each and every Egyptian sold their fields, because the famine was hurting them so badly. The land ended up being owned by Pharaoh,
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 all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
Taminaw teh Izip ramri avanglah hoi avanglah totouh kho tangkuem dawk a kampuen awh.
22 The only land he didn't buy belonged to the priests because they had a food allowance provided to them by Pharaoh, so they didn't have to sell 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 told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the 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 However, when it's harvested, you have to give one fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you can keep as seed for the fields and as food for you, your households, and your children.”
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 “You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
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 So Joseph made it a law for Egypt which is still is in effect today that one fifth of all produce from the land belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests' land was exempt since it did not belong to Pharaoh.
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 The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
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 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
Jakop teh Izip ram vah kum 17 touh ao. Hottelah Jakop hringnae kum 147 touh a pha.
29 When the time came for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If you think well of me, place your hand under my thigh and promise to treat me with trustworthy love and faithfulness. Don't bury me here 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 When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
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 “Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
Ahni ni kai koe thoekâbo loe, telah atipouh teh, ahni koe thoe a kâbo. Hahoi Isarel teh amae ikhun dawk a tabo.
