< 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.
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 from among his brethren he took five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
A hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi tami panga touh a hrawi teh Faro koe a ceikhai.
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.
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 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.
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 spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
Faro ni Joseph a pato teh, na pa hoi na hmaunawnghanaw heh nang koe a tho awh toe.
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.
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 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and 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 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
Faro ni Jakop koevah, kum nâyittouh maw na pha toung telah a pacei.
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an 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 pilgrimage.
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 blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Jakop ni Faro yawhawi a poe teh Faro koehoi a tâco.
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.
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 nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to 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 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 fainted by reason of the famine.
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 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.
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 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.
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 your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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 servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.
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 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.
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 removed them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
Taminaw teh Izip ramri avanglah hoi avanglah totouh kho tangkuem dawk a kampuen awh.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, 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 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.
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 Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gat them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
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 lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were an hundred forty and seven years.
Jakop teh Izip ram vah kum 17 touh ao. Hottelah Jakop hringnae kum 147 touh a pha.
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 grace 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:
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 sleep with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
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, Swear unto me: and he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon 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.
