Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said: 'My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.'
Te phoeiah Joseph cet tih Pharaoh taengah, “A pa neh ka manucarhoek khaw, a boiva khaw, a saelhung khaw, amah taengkah aka om boeih te Kanaan kho lamkah halo uh tih Goshen kho ah om uh ke,” a ti nah tih a puen pah.
2 And from among his brethren he took five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
Te phoeiah a manuca khui kah hlang pangaa khuen tih Pharaoh hmai aha khueh.
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren: 'What is your occupation?' And they said unto Pharaoh: 'Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.'
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.
4 And they said unto Pharaoh: 'To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.'
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.
5 And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph, saying: 'Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee;
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Na pa neh na manucarhoek nang taengah aka lo rhoek te,
6 the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and thy brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.'
'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.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa Jakob tea khuen tih Pharaoh hmai aha pai sak hatah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek.
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: 'How many are the days of the years of thy life?'
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Jakob la, “Nang kah hingnaha kum khohnin loh meyet a lo van coeng,” a ti nah.
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh: 'The days of the years of my sojournings are a hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.'
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.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek tih Pharaoh taeng lamkah pahoi nong.
11 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.
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.
12 And Joseph sustained his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to the want of their little ones.
Te dongah Joseph loh a napa neh a manucarhoek khaw, a napa imkhui boeih neh camoe ka dongkah caak ham khaw a cangbam pah.
13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.
Tedae khokha bahoeng tlung tih Egypt kho neh Kanaan khote khokha loha khah dongah kho takuem ah caak om pawh.
14 And Joseph gathered up 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.
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.
15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said: 'Give us bread; for why should we die in thy presence? for our money faileth.'
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.
16 And Joseph said: 'Give your cattle, and I will give you bread for your cattle, if money fail.'
Tedae Joseph loh, “Tangkaa boeih oeh atah na boiva te m'pae uh lamtah nangmih kah boiva te kan khueh mako,” a ti nah.
17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the asses; and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
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.
18 And when that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him: 'We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
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.
19 Wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.'
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.
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon them; and the land became Pharaoh's.
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.
21 And as for the people, he removed them city by city, from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
Te dongah Egypt khorhia bawt neh a khat ben lamkah pilnam te amah loh khopuei khuilaa puen.
22 Only the land of the priests bought he not, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore they sold not their land.
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.
23 Then Joseph said unto 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.
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.
24 And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth unto 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.'
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.
25 And they said: 'Thou hast saved our lives. Let us find favour in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen.'
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.
26 And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh's.
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.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Te vaengah Israel loh Egypt kho kah Goshen khohmuen ahkhoa sak tih a kawt la a kawt dongah pungtai uh tih muep ping uh.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty and seven years.
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.
29 And the time drew near that Israel must die; and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him: 'If now I have found favour 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.
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.
30 But when I sleep with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place.' And he said: 'I will do as thou hast said.'
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.
31 And he said: 'Swear unto me.' And he swore unto him. And Israel bowed down upon the bed's head.
Te vaengah, “Kamah taengah toemngam dae,” a tinah hataha toemngam tih Israelte baiphaih dongkah a lu taengah bakop.
