< Genesis 47 >

1 And Joseph comes and declares [it] to Pharaoh, and says, “My father, and my brothers, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and behold, they [are] in the land of Goshen.”
Hiti chun Joseph ache lut in Pharaoh henga thu agalhut in, ‘‘Kapa le ka sopite akelngoi ho jouse le aganchau toh chule aneijouseu toh kilhon in Canaan gam'a kon in ahung lhung tauve; tuhin Goshem gamsunga aum uve,” aga ti.
2 And out of his brothers he has taken five men, and sets them before Pharaoh;
Chuin Joseph in asopi ho lah a mi nga alhengdoh in Pharaoh henga phondohna aneiyin ahi.
3 and Pharaoh says to his brothers, “What [are] your works?” And they say to Pharaoh, “Your servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers”;
Chuin Pharaoh in amaho chu thu adong tan, “Nangma ho ipi natong nahiu ham?” amahon adonbut un, “Keima ho nasohte ho hi kapu kapate khanga patna kelngoi ching ka hiuve atiuvin ahi.”
4 and they say to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flock which your servants have, for the famine in the land of Canaan [is] grievous; and now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
Amahon Pharaoh henga ahoulim un, hiche gam'a cheng dinga hi keiho ka hung taovu ahe, ajeh chu nasoh teho hi kelngoi vah ka hiuvin, hamdong jong Canaan lhang lama aum tapoi; Hijeh chun lungset tah in Goshem lhang langa nei chen sah un kel hah sung in atiuvin ahi.
5 And Pharaoh speaks to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you:
Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph jah a aseiye, “Napa ahin, na sopi ho nangma koma din ahung tauve.
6 the land of Egypt is before you; cause your father and your brothers to dwell in the best of the land—they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if you have known, and there are among them men of ability, then you have set them [as] heads over the livestock I have.”
Nangman lhen peh tan Egypt gamsung pumpia amaho achen thei na diuvin, chule Egypt gamsung a apha pen chu pen ati; Hichun Goshem lhang lam chu pen amaho din ati. Chule amaho lah a miching thepna nei aumle keima gancha ho vetup din nei koi peh in,” ati.
7 And Joseph brings in his father Jacob, and causes him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesses Pharaoh.
Hichun Joseph in apa Jacob chu Pharaoh koma ahin puijin akihet tohsah in chujouvin Jacob in Pharaoh chu phatthei aboh in ahi.
8 And Pharaoh says to Jacob, “How many [are] the days of the years of your life?”
Chuin Pharaoh in “Kum ijat na hitam tin Jacob chu adong in ahi.”
9 And Jacob says to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojournings [are] one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.”
Jacob in adonbut in, “Keima hi leiset chunga lam ka hin jotna patna hi kum ja khat le som thum tobang ka hitai; Amavang ka hinkho hi kapate ho kapute ho sang in achom jo na laiye,” ati.
10 And Jacob blesses Pharaoh, and goes out from before Pharaoh.
Hichun Jacob in Pharaoh avel in adalhah masang in avel in phatthei aboh kit in ahi.
11 And Joseph settles his father and his brothers, and gives a possession to them in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;
Joseph in apa Jacob ahin asopiho abonchauvin Egypt gamsunga achensah tan, chule nei le gou jong apen gam jong apha pen Ramases lhangjol lam chu Pharaoh thupeh dungjui in ape tan ahi.
12 and Joseph nourishes his father, and his brothers, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.
Chuin Joseph in apa ahin, asopite ahin abonchauvin amahon angaichat dungjui in ape sohkei jin, chule chapang neocha cha ho gei ding in jong ape jeng tan ahi.
13 And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;
Phat chomkhat jouvin neh-leh-chah ahah lheh jeng tan, anchang kikoi jouse jong ane chai gam tauve, Egypt gamsung le Canaan gamsunga mipite jouse neh le chah hahsat jeh in mipi thi ding in aum gam tan ahi.
14 and Joseph gathers all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain that they are buying, and Joseph brings the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
Joseph in sum le pai akhol doh jouse chu Egypt gamsung ahin Canaan gamsunga anchang achoh nau sum jouse chu Pharaoh gou kholna muna ahin polut tai.
15 And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come to Joseph, saying, “Give bread to us—why do we die before you, though the money has ceased?”
Mipite jouse Egypt akon ahin, Canaan a kon ahin, sum le pai jouse alhahsam phat in Joseph koma ahung taovun ahi, Amaho akap'un “Sum le pai Sana le dangka ho jouse akichai tai; an neh ding neipeh lou ule nangma mitmua thiding ka hitauve atiuvin ahi.”
16 And Joseph says, “Give your livestock; and I give to you for your livestock, if the money has ceased.”
Hichun Joseph in adonbut in, “Na dangka hou abei tah le nagancha hou keima henga hinkai jun, keiman nangho gancha hotoh kitoh ding an neh ding kalhet peh ding na hiuve ati.
17 And they bring in their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gives to them bread, for the horses, and for the livestock of the flock, and for the livestock of the herd, and for the donkeys; and he tends them with bread, for all their livestock, during that year.
Hichun amahon an nehtoh lheh ding in agancha hou jouse Joseph koma ahin kaiyun, chule sakol hon ho ahin, kelngoi hon hole keltah hon ho ahin chule abong hon ho le sangan ho jouse jong Joseph koma alheh cheh un hichun aman kum khat an neh ding apeh be kit tan ahi.
18 And that year is finished, and they come to him on the second year, and say to him, “We do not hide from my lord, that since the money has been finished, and possession of the livestock [is] to my lord, there has not been left before my lord except our bodies, and our ground;
Amavang hiche kum chu akichai kit tan, kumthat ahung lhung kittan hichun amahon a seikit tauve, “Nangma akon in imacha ka im thei tapouve, Ajeh chu ka dangka hou se la aki chaitan, ka gancha hou ka bong hou la abei tan, tua hi keima hon imacha peh ding ka neita pouve, tua hi ka tahsao le ka leiset bou'u aum tai.
19 why do we die before your eyes, both we and our ground? Buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and do not die, and the ground is not desolate.”
Nangma mitmua iti ka moh thi thei diu ham keima ho tahsa ahin ka leiset'u hi an neh ding toh lheh jeng tau vinge atiuve; ka leiset u ahin ka tahsau ahin Pharaoh soh in umtau ving kate, hijeh chun anchang neh ding neipe uvin, kathi lou na diuvin, chule leiset gam chu mohseh a umlou a asetna lou ding in atiuve.
20 And Joseph buys all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have each sold his field, for the famine has been severe on them, and the land becomes Pharaoh’s;
Hichun Joseph in Egypt gamsunga leiset jouse Pharaoh din Egypt mite koma kon in achodoh soh tan ahi.
21 as for the people, he has removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even to its [other] end.
Mipi ho vang chu ahile khopi akon in gam ong thinglhang lama asol in Egypt gamsunga mun khat a patin mun chom a asol in ahi.
22 Only the ground of the priests he has not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh has given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.
Gam leiset Joseph in ana choh lou chu ahile thempu ho gam ahi. Ajeh chu hitobang thempu ho chu ana kipe doh aum in, amaho chun Pharaoh a kona an neh ana kisan'u ahi jeh ahi, chule agam leiset'u jong kichol ngai lou ahi.
23 And Joseph says to the people, “Behold, I have bought you today and your ground for Pharaoh; behold, seed for you, and you have sown the ground,
Hichun Joseph in mipite lah a ahoulim in, “Veuvin tunia keiman nangho chule nagam leiset'u Pharaoh adia ka chohdoh ahitai keiman nangho muchi kapeh ding nanghon na phailei uva chang na tu theiyu ahitai.
24 and it has come to pass in the increases, that you have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.”
Chule nangman chang na at teng hop nga lah a hop khat Pharaoh adia napeh ding hopli chu nangma muchi adia na kikoi diu, chule nangma ho insung mite an neh a pang ding aneocha cha ho geija kapeh na hiuve.
25 And they say, “You have revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh”;
Amahon aphong doh un, “Keima ho hinkho hi nangman neihuh doh peh'u ahi atiuve, chule nangma phatsah bang hi jeng hen; chule lungset tah in ka pakai pa Pharaoh soh in pangmai jeng tau vinge atiuvin ahi.”
26 and Joseph sets it for a statute to this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh has a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone has not become Pharaoh’s.
Chule Joseph in dan asem in Egypt gam'a tuni geihin aki mang na laiye, hichu ahile Pharaoh in hop nga lah a hopkhat ane jing na laiyin, thempu ho a tilou chu gam leiset abona Pharaoh a ahi tai.
27 And Israel dwells in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;
Hichun phat chomkhat jouvin, Israel mipite chun Egypt gamsunga Goshem lhanglam chu alodim tauvin, hichea pat chun amahon nei le gou akilamdoh un, abol jouse'u jong nasatah in apung tul tul jengun ahi.
28 and Jacob lives in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are one hundred and forty-seven years.
Hichun Jacob chu Egypt ahung lhun jouvin kum som le kum sagi ahinbe in Jacob hin nikho abon bon'a kum jakhat le kum som li le kum sagi alhing in ahi.
29 And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calls for his son, for Joseph, and says to him, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, and you have done kindness and truth with me; please do not bury me in Egypt,
Israel chu athi tei ding nikho ahung nai tul tul phat in aman jong achapa Joseph akouvin ajah a “Na mit mua nangma ka lung lhaisah jouva ahile gunchu tah le kitah tah a nei bolna ding in kataipi gui noi tuhin lang Egypt gam'a neihin vuilou hel na dingin kitep in;
30 and I have lain with my fathers, and you have carried me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.” And he says, “I do according to your word”;
Keima ka hinkho ahung beiteng lungset tah in ka tahsa hi Egypt akon in eipo doh inlang kapu kapate kivui na muna neivui in, hichun Joseph jong aki hahsel in, “Keiman nangma seibang bang in hinbol peh nang kate,” ati.
31 and he says, “Swear to me”; and he swears to him, and Israel bows himself on the head of the bed.
Hichun Jacob in avel in aseikti in, “Nangma kitep in ati, hichun Joseph akihahsel tan, chuin Jacob chu alupna a akhup lang in alum tai.”
