Genesis 41
1 At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
Te phoeiah om tih kum a thok tue vaengah Pharaoh loh mang a man tih sokko taengah ana pai.
2 Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
Te vaengah vaito pumrhih, a mueimae sakthen neh a pum aka toitup te sokko lamkah lawt halo tih capu ding ah luem uh.
3 Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.
Amih hnukah a mueimae thae tih a pum aka cangkhawk vaito pumrhih te khaw sokko lamkah lawt ha thoeng bal tih sokko kaeng kah vaito kaepah pai uh.
4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
Tedae a mueimae thae tih a pum aka cangkhawk vaito pumrhih loh a mueimae sakthen neh aka toitup vaito te a caak uh vaengah Pharaoh haenghang.
5 He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
Te phoeiah ip tih a pabae la mang a man hatah cangvuei thamkom neh aka then parhih te a cangkong pakhat dongah tarha vuei.
6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Te phoeiah aka om cangvuei thamyit parhih te tah a hnukah kanghawn loh a yah tih a hum sak.
7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
Tedae cangvuei thamyit parhih loh cangvuei thamkom neh cangtak te a yoop vaengah Pharaoh haenghang tih a mang la pawk.
8 In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Te dongah mincang a pha vaengah tah a mueihla a cahoeh. Egypt hmayuep boeih neh aka cueih boeih te khaw a tah tih a khue. Tedae Pharaoh loh amih taengah a mang te a thui hatah Pharaoh ham aka thuicaih thai om pawh.
9 Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.
Te daengah tuitul mangpa loh Pharaoh taengah, “Tihnin ah ni kamah tholh te ka poek.
10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
Pharaoh loh a sal rhoek taengah a thintoek tih kai neh buh thong mangpa te imtawt mangpa kah im thongim la n'khoh.
11 We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.
Tedae hlaem pakhat ah kai khaw anih khaw mang ka man rhoi hatah mang thuingaihnah rhirha aka om te ka man rhoi.
12 There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
Te vaengah imtawt mangpa kah sal, Hebrew cadong te kaimih taengah om. Te dongah anih ham ka thui pah rhoi dongah kaimih rhoi kah mang te kaimih rhoi ham a thuicaih. Hlang kah a mang khaw a thuicaih.
13 As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
Kaimih rhoi taengah a thuicaih vanbangla om tih a thoeng dongah kai he ka hmuen koep han khueh vaengah anih te a kuiok sak,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph te a tah tih a khue sak vanbangla anih te tangrhom khui lamkah koe a doek uh tih sam a vok, himbai a tho phoeiah Pharaoh taengla cet.
15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Mang ka man tih aka thuicaih a om pawt vaengah aka thuicaih ham nang loh mang na yakming a ti tih nang kawng te ka yaak,” a ti nah.
16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
Tedae Joseph loh Pharaoh te a doo tih, “Kai moenih, Pharaoh te Pathen loh ngaimongnah neh n'doo bitni,” a ti nah.
17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph te, “Ka mang ah sokko kaeng la ka pai.
18 and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
Tedae vaito a pumsa aka toitup tih a suisak sakthen pumrhih te sokko lamkah lawt halo tih capu ding ah luem uh.
19 and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
Amih hnukah vaito a tloe pumrhih halo bal dae tattloel la a suisak khaw bahoeng thae tih a pum pim. Tetla thaenah tah Egypt kho tom ah ka hmu pawh.
20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
Te vaengah vaito aka pim neh a thae pumrhih loh lamhma kah vaito aka tha rhoek te a caak uh.
21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Tedae amih ko khuila a kun uh thuk lalah a moecuek vaengkah bangla a mueimae a thae dongah amih ko khuila a kun uh te thui la a hut pawt vaengah ka haenghang.
22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
Te phoeikah ka mang ah khaw cangvuei thamkom neh a then thamrhih te a cangkong pakhat dongah ha thoeng te lawt ka hmuh.
23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
Amih hnukkah cangvuei parih thamyit neh aka rhae, kanghawn loh a yah tih aka hum te tarha halo van.
24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
Te vaengah cangvuei aka yit rhoek loh cangvuei a then thamrhih te a dolh dongah hmayuep rhoek ham ka thui pah dae kai taengah aka puen om pawh,” a ti nah.
25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
Te dongah Joseph loh Pharaoh la, “Pharaoh kah a mang he pakhat ni. Pathen loh a saii te Pharaoh taengah a phoe coeng.
26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
Vaito aka then pumrhih khaw kum rhih tih, cangvuei a then parhih khaw kum rih, a mang te pakhat ni.
27 The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.
Amih hnukah aka thoeng vaito pumrhih aka pim tih aka thae te khaw kum rhih tih, cangvuei aka hi tih kanghawn loh a hum sak parhih te khokha kum rhih ni.
28 That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Pharaoh taengah kan thui vanbangla Pathen loh a saii hno he Pharaoh a tueng coeng.
29 Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
Aka lo ham kum rhih te Egypt kho tom ah khobuh khungdaeng ni te.
30 Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
Tedae a hnukah khokha kum rhih pai vetih Egypt kho kah khobuh te boeih a hnilh ni. Te vaengah khohmuen khaw khokha loh a khah ni.
31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
Te dongah a hnuk lamtah khokha bahoeng nah vetih khobuh te vang khui loh ming mahpawh.
32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Pharaoh taengah a pabae la mang a rhaep he khaw Pathen taeng lamloh olka a cikngae sak dongah Pathen loh tlek a saii ni.
33 “Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Te dongah Pharaoh loh, aka yakming tih aka cueih hlang te so lamtah anih te Egypt kho ah khueh laeh saeh.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.
Khohmuen ah hlangtawt rhoek te Pharaoh loh tuek saeh lamtah khobuh kum kumrhih khuiah Egypt kho kah panga pakhat aka coi la om saeh.
35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
Te daengah ni kum then a pai vaengkah caak boeih te a coi uh eh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh kut hmuiah cangpai a tung uh vetih khopuei ah caak khaw a cuem eh.
36 The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”
Kho kah hnokhueh dongah caak a om daengah ni khokha loh Egypt kho khui la kum kumrhih a pai vaengah khohmuen te khokha loh a tulnoi pawt eh,” a ti nah.
37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Tekah olka ngawn tah Pharaoh mik neh a sal rhoek boeih kah mik ah a thuem sak.
38 Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
Te dongah Pharaoh loh a sal rhoek la, “Hekah hlang bangla a khuiah Pathen mueihla aka om te m'hmuh noek nim?” a ti nah.
39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Hekah boeih he Pathen loh nang m'ming sak dongah nang bangla aka thuep neh aka cueih he om pawh.
40 You shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
Kai im ah nang om lamtah nang kah olpaek te ka pilnam boeih loh ngai saeh. Ka ngolkhoel bueng nen mah nang lakah ka ham mai eh,” a ti nah.
41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “So lah, Egypt kho pum kah a soah nang ni kan hut sak coeng,” a ti nah.
42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
Pharaoh loh a kut dongkah a kutcaeng te a dul tih Joseph kah kut ah a buen pah. Hnitang himbai neh a khuk phoeiah a rhawn ah sui oi a oi sak.
43 He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
Leng dongah khaw a hnukthoi la a ngol sak tih, “Anih hmai ah cungkueng uh,” hlo a phoek uh tih Egypt kho boeih kah a soah Joseph te a khueh.
44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Kai he Pharaoh coeng dae nang muehah hlang loh a kut khaw a kho khaw Egypt kho tom ah thueng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
45 Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
Joseph ming khaw Pharaoh loh Zephenathpaneah la a khue tih a yuu la Oni khosoih Potiphera canu Asenath te a paek. Te phoeiah Joseph loh Egypt kho tom a hil.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Egypt manghai Pharaoh taengla a kun vaengah Joseph te kum sawmthum lo ca pueng. Tedae Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh Joseph nong tih Egypt kho tom boeih a hil.
47 In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
Te phoeiah khobuhnah kum rhih khuiah tah khohmuen te kutvang long khaw a thaih sak.
48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
Te dongah Egypt kho kah aka thoeng kho kum rhih kah caak boeih te a coi tih khopuei boeih ah caak a tung. Khopuei kaepvai kah khohmuen cang khaw a khui ah a khueh.
49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
Joseph loh cang a tung vaengah tuitunli kah laivin bangla muep a yet dongah a loeng tloel tih a tae ham khaw a toeng.
50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
Khokha kum halo hlanah Oni khosoih Potiphera canu Asenath loh ca a cun pah tih Joseph loh capa panit a sak.
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
Te vaengah Joseph loh, “Ka thakthaenah boeih neh a pa cako boeih te Pathen loh kai n'hnilh sak,” a ti dongah a caming te a ming Manasseh a sui.
52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
A ca pabae ming te khaw, “Kai kah phacipphabaem kho ah Pathen loh kai m'pungtai sak,” a ti dongah Ephraim a sui.
53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Tedae Egypt kho ah khobuh kum rhih aka om te bawt.
54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Joseph loh a thui vanbangla aka lo ham khokha kum rhih a tong dongah paeng tom ah khokha om coeng dae Egypt kho pum ah caak om pueng.
55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
Tedae Egypt kho kho boeih loh a lamlum van vaengah tah pilnam loh caak ham te Pharaoh taengla pang uh. Te dongah Pharaoh loh Egypt rhoek boeih te, “Joseph taengla cet uh lamtah nangmih taengah a thui bangla saii uh,” a ti nah.
56 The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Khokha loh diklai hman boeih te a pha vaengah a kho khuikah aka om cangpai boeih te Joseph loh a hlah tih Egypt rhoek ham a yoih pah dongah Egypt kho kah khokha te a noeng.
57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
Paeng tom long khaw koivawn ham Egypt kah Joseph te a paan uh dongah paeng tom kah khokha khaw a talong.
