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.
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 Moreover out of the whole number of his brethren, he took with him five men, —and set them before Pharaoh.
A hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi tami panga touh a hrawi teh Faro koe a ceikhai.
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.
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 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.
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 Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph saying, —Thy father and thy brethren, are come in 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, 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.
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 So Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and caused him to stand 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: About how many, have been 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 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.
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 came forth from the presence of Pharaoh.
Jakop ni Faro yawhawi a poe teh Faro koehoi a tâco.
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.
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 house, —with bread, according to the need of their little ones.
Hahoi Joseph ni a na pa hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a na pa imthungnaw pueng, a imthungnaw lahoi canei hanlah a poe.
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,
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 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 ni cakang a ranae phu, Izip hoi Kanaan ramnaw pueng dawk hoi a hmu e tangkanaw hah Faro im lah a ceikhai.
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?
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 Then said Joseph: Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, —if silver hath failed.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 brought them into bondage as servants, —from one end of the boundary of Egypt unto the other end thereof.
Taminaw teh Izip ramri avanglah hoi avanglah totouh kho tangkuem dawk a kampuen awh.
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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 favour in the eyes of my lord, so will we become 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 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.
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 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, —and gained possessions therein, and became 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 it came to pass that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.
Jakop teh Izip ram vah kum 17 touh ao. Hottelah Jakop hringnae kum 147 touh a pha.
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.
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 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.
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 Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel bow himself down on the head of the couch.
Ahni ni kai koe thoekâbo loe, telah atipouh teh, ahni koe thoe a kâbo. Hahoi Isarel teh amae ikhun dawk a tabo.
