Genesis 47
1 So 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 in from the land of Canaan, —and, here 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 Moreover out of the whole number of his brethren, he took with him five men, —and set them before Pharaoh.
Chuin Joseph in asopi ho lah a mi nga alhengdoh in Pharaoh henga phondohna aneiyin ahi.
3 And Pharaoh said unto the brethren of Joseph—What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh—Feeders of flocks, are thy servants, 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 said unto Pharaoh—To sojourn in the land, are we come in, for there is no pasture for the flocks which pertain to thy servants, for, severe, is the famine in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, let thy servants dwell we pray thee 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 Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph saying, —Thy father and thy brethren, are come in unto thee.
Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph jah a aseiye, “Napa ahin, na sopi ho nangma koma din ahung tauve.
6 The land of Egypt, is, before thee, in the best of the land, cause thou thy father and thy brethren to dwell, —let them dwell in the land of Goshen, And if thou knowest that there are among them men of ability, then shalt thou set them as chieftains of cattle over mine.
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 So Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and caused him to stand before Pharaoh, —and Jacob blessed 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 said unto Jacob: About how many, have been the days of the years of thy life?
Chuin Pharaoh in “Kum ijat na hitam tin Jacob chu adong in ahi.”
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojournings, have been a hundred and thirty years, —Few and evil, have been the days of the years of my life, neither have they attained unto the days of the years of the lives 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 blessed Pharaoh, —and came forth from the presence of Pharaoh.
Hichun Jacob in Pharaoh avel in adalhah masang in avel in phatthei aboh kit in ahi.
11 So then Joseph fixed the dwelling of 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.
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 nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father’s house, —with bread, according to the need of their little ones.
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 But, bread, was there none in all the land, —for the famine was, very severe, —so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason 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 So Joseph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of Egypt. and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which, they, were buying, —and Joseph brought 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 was spent out of the land of Egypt and out of the land of Canaan, so all the Egyptians came in unto Joseph, saying—Do give us bread, for why should we die before thee, although, silver, hath failed?
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 Then said Joseph: Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, —if silver hath failed.
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 So they brought in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses and for the cattle of the flock and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses, —and he provided them with bread for all their cattle, throughout 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 When that year was ended, then came they unto him in the second year and said to him—We will not hide from my lord, how that the silver and the herds of beasts for my lord are come to an end, —there is nothing left before my lord, save only 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 Wherefore should we die before thine eyes both we, and our ground? Buy thou us and our ground, for bread, —and we and our ground will become servants to Pharaoh, and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and the ground, not lie waste.
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 So Joseph bought all the ground of the Egyptians for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine had laid fast hold upon them, —so the land became Pharaoh’s.
Hichun Joseph in Egypt gamsunga leiset jouse Pharaoh din Egypt mite koma kon in achodoh soh tan ahi.
21 And as for the people, he brought them into bondage as servants, —from one end of the boundary of Egypt unto the other end thereof.
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, bought he not, —for the priests had a statutory-portion, from Pharaoh and they had been eating their statutory-portion, which Pharaoh had given them, for which cause, they had 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 said unto the people, Lo! I have bought you this day, and your ground for Pharaoh, —see, here is seed for you, so shall ye sow 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 shall come to pass that, of the yield, ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, —but the four parts, shall be your own—for seed for the field, and for your food and for them who are in your households and for food for your little ones.
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 said—Thou hast saved our lives! let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, so will we become Pharaoh’s servants.
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 appointed it for a statute—until this day, regarding the ground of Egypt, that Pharaoh, should take a fifth, —only, the ground of the priests, was, theirs alone, it had 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 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, —and gained possessions therein, and became fruitful and multiplied 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 lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, —so it came to pass that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a 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 drew near that he must die, so he called for his son for Joseph and said to him—If, I pray thee I have found favour in thine eyes, place, I pray thee thy hand under my thigh, —so shalt thou deal with me in lovingkindness and faithfulness—Do not I pray thee, 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 When I shall lie down with my fathers, then shalt thou carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said: I, will do according to thy 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 Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel bow himself down on the head of the couch.
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.”
