Genesis 41
1 Two complete years later, the king of Egypt had a dream. In the dream, he was standing alongside the Nile [River].
Kum ni nungin Pharaoh in mang anei in ahile, vetan ama Nile vadung panga ana ding in ahi.
2 Suddenly seven healthy fat cows come up out of the river. They started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
Amanga chun bongchal sagi athao a thao cheh ahung kal doh un hamhing lah a chun alhaovin ahi.
3 Soon seven other cows, unhealthy-looking and thin, came up behind them from the Nile [River]. They stood alongside the fat cows that were on the riverbank.
Chujou in ama ho nunga chun bongchal sagi ma agon a gong cheh Nile vadunga kon chun ahung doh un, vadung panga bongchal sagi dangho koma chun ading uvin ahi.
4 Then the unhealthy thin cows ate the seven healthy fat cows. And then the king woke up.
Hichun bongchal agong ho chun bongchal athao sagi ho chu aval lhum tauvin ahi. Hiche mang anei pet tah chun Pharaoh chu ahung khang doh tai.
5 The king went to sleep again, and he had another dream. This time he saw seven heads of grain that were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and all growing on one stalk.
Ahin Pharaoh a imulhu kit in mang anivei na aneiyin, hiche amanga hin changphal sagi hoitah vetnom nom um phungkhat a kona hung kikhai lha amun ahi.
6 After that, the king saw that seven other heads of grain sprouted on that (OR, on another) stalk. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
Hichun changphal sagi amanga amu kit'in ahin hiche changphal ho chu ageo cheh chuh jeng in, solam huijin amut geo lheh jeng ahi.
7 Then the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven ripe full heads. Then the king woke up. He realized that he had been dreaming.
Chuin hiche geo chih banga changphal ho chun changphal lom sagi ahoi phungkhat a kikhai lha ho chu aval lhum kittai. Hichun Pharaoh ahung doh kit'in ahile ajan mang ahichu agel doh in ahi.
8 But the next morning he was worried about the meaning of the dream. So he summoned all the magicians and wise men who lived in Egypt. He told them what he had dreamed, but none of them could tell him the meaning of the two dreams.
Hiche ni ajingkah apat'in Pharaoh chu amang ho jeh chun a suboi lheh in aum thei tapoi. Hichun Pharaoh in amaho jouse koma amang chu asei tan, ahin amaho lah a khat beh in jong ipi kiseina ham tia chu a donbut thei aum pouve.
9 Then the chief drink-server said to the king, “Now I remember something that I should have told you! I made a mistake by forgetting to tell it to you.
Phat achaina langtah chun lengpa jukhon doma lamkai pachu ahung ding doh in, “Tunia keiman geldoh khat kaneiye phat masa a kana chatvai na atin Pharaoh koma aseitan ahi.
10 One time you were angry with two of us. So you put me and the chief baker in the prison in the house of the captain of the palace guards.
Nangman nasoh teni chunga nana lunglhai pon changlhah hom lamkaipa le keima chunga, hijeh chun keini hi lengpa songkul'a neina koiyin ahi.
11 While we were there, one night each of us had a dream, and the dreams had different meanings.
Nikhat chu changlhah hompa le keiman mang chom cheh kanei lhon in ka mang lhon jong chu thusim chom cheh kanei lhon in,
12 There was a young Hebrew man there with us. He was a servant of the captain of the palace guards. We told him what we had dreamed, and he told us what our dreams meant. He told each of us the meaning of our dreams.
Hiche laiphat chun Hebrew khangthah khat lengpa songkul'a chun keiho toh ana um'in, ama chu lengpa semang pachong pa soh a jong ana pang ahi, kamang nei lhon chu kasei lhon in ahile chu'in aman kamang lhon chu eile doh peh lhon e ati.
13 And what happened was exactly the same as the meanings that he told us: You said I could have my previous job again, but the other man was killed by being hanged. [The Hebrew man’s name was Joseph].”
Chule aman eiledoh peh lhon bang bang chun ahung guilhung cheh in ahi, keiman kana toh ngai ngai eikitohsah in an vaihompa akikhai lihtan ahi.”
14 When the king heard that, he told some servants to bring Joseph to him, and they quickly brought Joseph out of the prison. Joseph shaved and put on better clothes, and then he went and stood in front of the king.
Pharaoh in Joseph chu ahol in mi asol paijeng tan ama chu agan a gang in songkul'a kon in ahin puidoh jeng uvin, chuin avon ho akikhel in chule akhamul ho a kisuhtheng in, hichun ama Pharaoh toh kimuto din alut tai.
15 The king said to Joseph, “I had two dreams, and no one can tell me what they mean. But someone told me that when you hear someone tell about a dream he has had, you can tell that person what the dream means.”
Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph koma aseitai, “Keiman janlhah in mang ka neijin koima chan ale doh theipon ahin keiman ka jah chu ahile mang kiti hohi nang man hetthei na nanei chu kana jai.”
16 But Joseph replied to the king, “No, I cannot do that. It is God who knows the meaning of dreams, but he will enable me to tell you their meaning, and they will mean something good.”
Joseph in adonbut in, “Hiche ho chu keima adinga thil hahsa ahi ati. Amavang Pathen in hiche ipi tina ham chu nahetsah theiye,” ati.
17 The king said to Joseph, “In my first dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile [River].
Chuin Pharaoh mang chu Joseph koma aseitai, aman hitin aseiye, “Ka mang in Nile vadung panga kana ding in.
18 Suddenly seven healthy fat cows came up out of the river, and they started eating the grass that was on the riverbank.
Hiche a che a chun bongchal sagi hoitah kivah thao cheh vadunga kon chun ahung doh in chule hilaiya hampa dong ho chu ane pantan ahi.
19 Soon seven other cows, ugly and thin ones, came up behind them from the river. I never saw such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt!
Hinlah keiman chom khat jouvin bongchal adang sagi agong a gong ahoimo cheh ahung potdoh kit ka mun, keiman hitabang gancha gong aphe umlou Egypt gamsunga ka hinkhon kana mukha hih laiye.
20 The thin ugly cows ate the seven fat cows that came up first.
Hiche bong agong melse tah hochun bongchal sagi athao ho chu aval lhum tan ahi.
21 But afterwards, no one would have known that the thin cows ate them, because they were just as ugly as they were before. Then I woke up.
Amahon aval lhum jou chun koiman ipi kabol ham tia ahethei jong aumpoi, amahon aval lhum jou uchun abepbep ahiuvin, hichun keima ka hung khang dohtai.
22 Then I had another dream. I saw seven heads of grain. They were full of kernels of grain and ripe, and they were all growing on one stalk.
Hichun keima ka imu lhu kit'in, chule keiman mang khat kaneibe kit'in, hichea kamang achun changvui sagi vetnom umtah phungkhat a ga ka mun ahi.
23 Then [to my surprise] I saw seven other heads of grain that sprouted. They were thin and had been dried up by the hot east wind.
Chule chang vui sagi machu akiveigeosa akeoseh cheh, nisolam khohui mut geosa cheh, khat ho nunga chun ahungdoh doh uvin ahi.
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads. I told these dreams to the magicians, but none of them could explain to me what they meant.”
Chuin changvui ageosa ho chun changvui hoitah hochu avallhum kittan, hiche kamang hohi doithem ho koma kaseiyin, Hinlah ka mangho chu ipi kisei na ham koima chan eihil chen theipoi ati.
25 Then Joseph said to the king, “Both your dreams have the same meaning. God is revealing to you in your dreams what he is about to do.
Joseph in adonbut in, “Pharaoh mang teni hi thakhat ahi, Pathen in Pharaoh hi ipi abol ding ahin hetsah masah ahi bouve.
26 The seven healthy cows represent seven years. The seven good heads of grain also represent seven years. The two dreams both have the same meaning.
Bongchal sagi athao ahoi ho chule changvui sagi vetnom nom uma, aga hon avet sah nom chu ahile kum sagi sunga hi neh le chah neng ding avetsah ahi,” ati.
27 The seven thin ugly cows that came up behind them and the seven worthless heads of grain that were dried up by the hot east wind each represent seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce).
Chule bongchal sagi agong hole Changvui sagi ageosa aphunga goden solam huiyin asemgot den hon avetsah chu ahile kum sagi nasa tah a kel hunglha ding chu avetsah ahi.
28 It will happen just as I have told you, because God has revealed to you what he is about to do.
Hiche hohi keiman ka phondoh banga hung guilhung ding ahi, Ajeh chu Pathen in Pharaoh hi aphat ahung lhun masanga ipi abol dingho chu ahin hetsah ahiye ati.
29 There will be seven years in which there will be plenty of food throughout the land of Egypt,
Tua patna Egypt gamsung a hi kum sagi hatah a neh le chah hung neng ding ahi.
30 but after that there will be seven years (of famine/when food will be very scarce). Then people will forget all the years when there was plenty of food, because the famine that will come afterward will ruin the country.
Amavang hiche joule chun kum sagi ma kel nasatah in hung lhan tin, chuteng chule chun Egypt gamsung ima ma ana tha lhing chu kisumil gam'a, kel lhah chun agamsung abah gam jeng ding ahi tai.
31 The people will forget how plentiful food was previously, because the famine will be very terrible.
Hiche kel hung khoh hi gimnei lheh jeng ding kum tamtah neh le chah ana ninglhin na ho jouse chu koiman agel doh lou ding ahitai.
32 The reason God gave to you two dreams is that he [wants you to know] that this will happen, and he will cause it to happen very soon.
Pharaoh mang teni ahung ki hetsah na thupi pen tah chu ahile, Pathen in na ahin toh vahding ahiti gontup sa ahi tai, hung lhung vah tei ding ahi ati.
33 “Now I suggest that you should choose a man who is wise and can make good decisions. I suggest that you appoint him to direct the affairs of the whole country.
Hijeh a chu Pharaoh in chingthei tah pasal chule thil hethem tah koitabang aholdoh a Egypt gamsung pumpia mopothei ahol angai tai.
34 You should also appoint supervisors over the country, in order that they can arrange to collect one-fifth of all the grain that is harvested during the seven years when food is plentiful.
Hichun Pharaoh in agam agam a lamkai avetup ding mi lhengdoh henlang hiche teng chule louga sohho kum sagi neh anen sung chun hop nga lah a hop khat koidoh uhenlang,
35 They should collect this amount of grain during those seven years that are coming, when there will be plenty of food. You should supervise them as they store it in the cities.
Pharaoh thanei na noiya tua patna neh le chah hiche kum sunga hatah a anen pet ahin changpang ahin koi dimset un, phatechan koitup uhenlang chule angah jong umjing hen, kho nung chan geiya khopi sunga neh le chah umjing thei nadin ati.
36 This grain should be stored so that it can be eaten during the seven years when there will be a famine here in Egypt, so that the people in this country will not die from hunger.”
Tua chang le mim ho jouse hi phatechan mun khat a gamsung pumpin koikhom uhen, chutile kum sagi sunga nasatah a kel ahung khoh teng Egypt gam sunga mipi jouse kihinso thei ding ahi.
37 The king and his officials thought that this would be a good plan.
Hiche lungthim tohgon hi Pharaoh ahin ama semang pachong hon jong pha asa cheh tauvin ahi.
38 So the king said to them, “(Can we find any other man like Joseph, a man to whom God has given his Spirit?/It is not likely that we will find another man like this man, one to whom God has given his Spirit!)” [RHQ]
Hichun Pharaoh in amaho chu adongin, “Eihon hitobang pasal Pathen lhagao chenna hi imujou dingu hi nam,” ati.
39 Then the king said to Joseph, “Because God has revealed all this to you, it seems to me that there is no one who is as wise as you and who can decide wisely about things.
Hiche pet chun Pharaoh in Joseph ahoulimpi in, “Ajeh chu Pathen in ema jouse nangma nahetsah tah jeh in nang tobang koimacha ahethem le aching aumta poi.
40 So I will put you in charge of everything in my palace. All the people here in Egypt must obey what you command. Only because I am king [MTY] will I have more authority than you.”
Nangma keima leng touna anatou ding ahitai, kamiten nangma thupeh jouse ajui cheh dingu ahitai. chule thil khat bou ikikhet nading chu keima kalengvai pohna bou lenjo ding kahi ati.
41 Then the king said to Joseph, “I am now putting you in charge of the whole country of Egypt.”
Pharaoh in Joseph jah ah aseitan, “Keiman nangma hi Egypt gam sunga thanei na le mopoh na kapeh doh nahi tai ati.”
42 The king took from his finger the ring that had his seal on it, and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He put robes made of fine linen on him, and he put a gold chain around his neck.
Hichun Pharaoh in akhut a sana khutjem chu ala doh in Joseph khut a abupeh tai, Aman vonkang hoitah aki vonsah in chule sana khi jong angong a aki osah tai.
43 Then he arranged for Joseph to ride around in the chariot [that showed that he was] the second-most important man in the country. When Joseph rode in the chariot, men shouted to the people who were on the road in front of him, “Get off the road!” So the king put Joseph in charge of everything in the country.
Hichun lengpan Joseph chu asakol chunga atousah in amasanga chun “Mihon dilsu vo tin asamuvin ahi.” Hiti hin aman Joseph chu Egypt gam pumpi semang in ana pansah tai.
44 The king said to Joseph, “I am the king, but no one in the whole land of Egypt will do anything [IDM] if you do not permit them to do it.”
Chule Pharaoh in Joseph kom a hitin aseiye, “Nangma phatsah louva Egypt gamsunga koima chan akhut alapthei lou ding, keima amina bou Pharaoh kahi ding ahi,” ati.
45 The king gave Joseph a new name, Zaphenath-Paneah. He also gave him Asenath to be his wife. She was the daughter of Potiphera, who was a priest in a temple in On [city]. Then Joseph became known (OR, traveled) through all the land of Egypt.
Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph chu Egypt te min thah apen Zaphenath-paneah Potiphera chanu Asenath chu Joseph ji din Pharaoh in agontup peh in ahi, hiche apatna chu Joseph in Egypt gamsung a mopoh na alah ahitai.
46 Joseph was 30 years old when he started to work for the king of Egypt. To do his work, he left the king’s palace and traveled throughout Egypt.
Egypt lengpa Pharaoh koma anatong dinga alut chun Joseph kum somthum alhing tai. Chuin Joseph chu Pharaoh angsunga konin apotdoh in Egypt gam leiset pumpi aga kholsoh keiyin ahi.
47 During the next seven years, the land produced abundant crops, so there was plenty of food.
Ana kisei bang chun kum sagi sung chun neh le chah lousoh hatah in apungin ahi.
48 As Joseph supervised them, his helpers collected one-fifth of all the grain that was produced during those years, and stored it in the cities. In each city, he had his helpers store up the grain that was grown in the fields that surrounded that city.
Hiche kum sagi sunga chun Joseph in chang le mim Egypt gamsunga kimu jouse chu mun khat a akoikhom soh kei in, chule khopi jousea akoina mun asem soh kei in ahi.
49 Joseph had them store up a huge amount of grain. It looked as plentiful as the sand on the seashore. There was so much grain that after a while they stopped keeping records of how much grain was stored, because there was more grain than they could measure.
Hichun Joseph in chang le mim chu tamtah avum leo in akhol khom in, vadung panga neldi bang in atam valtah jeh chun hetlut jou jong ahita pon, achaina langa chun simsen lou ahitan sim jong asim tapouve,
50 Before the seven years of famine started, Joseph’s wife Asenath gave birth to two sons.
Kellhah kum hung lhun masang chun On thempu pa Potiphera chanu Asenath chun Joseph dingin chapa ni ana hinpeh-in
51 Joseph named the first one Manasseh, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘forget]’, because, he said, “God has caused me to forget all my troubles and all my father’s family.”
Joseph in achapa atahjo pa min chu Manasseh asah in, aman aseiyin, “Hiche hi ka Pathen in kagenthei na jouse eisuh milsahtai, chule kapa insung jong abonchaovin kasumil sohtai tina ahi.” (Manasseh: genthei tintang jouse suhmil na, chule insung mite jong mil jouta tina ahi).
52 He named his second son Ephraim, [which means ‘to have children]’, because, he said, “God has given me children here in this land where I have suffered.”
Joseph in achapa aneojo pa min chu Ephraim asah tai, “Aman hitin aseiye, “Ka Pathen ka hahsat na le kagenthei na jeh in lolhin na eipe tai,” ati.
53 Finally the seven years in which there was plenty of food ended.
Egypt gamsunga kum sagi sunga chang le mim mang ketkut a ga jouse chu ahung kichai gamtan ahi.
54 Then the seven years of famine started, just as Joseph had predicted. There was also a famine in all the other nearby lands, but although the crops did not grow, there was food everywhere in Egypt, because of the grain they had stored up in the cities.
Hichun kum sagi kel lhah ahung kipantan, Joseph in anasei doh mabang in hiche a nasa tah a kel hah chun anaivel a gam ho jouse jong asuboi soh heltai, ama vang Egypt gamsunga chun neh le chah ahahsat na emacha aumpoi.
55 When all the people of [MTY] Egypt had eaten all of their own food and were still hungry, they begged the king for food. So the king told all the people of Egypt, “Go to Joseph, and do what he tells you to do.”
Egypt gamsunga kel ahung khoh lheh jeng tan, hichun mipi ho chu neh le chah ngaichat jeh in Pharaoh koma ahung un, hichun Pharaoh in Egypt mipi teho chu “Joseph koma asol in aman bol un atiho chu bol uvin,” ati.
56 When the famine was very bad throughout the whole country, Joseph ordered his helpers to open the storehouses. Then they sold the grain in the storehouses to the people of Egypt, because the famine was very severe all over Egypt.
Hiti chun kel lhah chu hatah in ahung khohse cheh tan gamsung jouse aboilou aumta pon, Joseph in chang pang ho jouse chu ahong doh tan, Egypt mipite chu aki choh sah tai. Ajeh chu Egypt gamsunga kelkhoh chu asang lheh in hitobang kel hah chu ana umkha hihlaiye.
57 And people from many [HYP] nearby countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was very severe everywhere [HYP].
Chule gam dang dang Egypt gam kimvel a jousen neh le chah akichoh thei nadiuvin Joseph heng ahinnai lut tauvin, Ajeh chu hitobang kel hah chu vannoi leiset chung jouse asuh boi cheh ahi.
