< Genesis 47 >

1 Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now 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 And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.
Chuin Joseph in asopi ho lah a mi nga alhengdoh in Pharaoh henga phondohna aneiyin ahi.
3 And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.
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 to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves 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 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.
Hichun Pharaoh in Joseph jah a aseiye, “Napa ahin, na sopi ho nangma koma din ahung tauve.
6 And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.
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 Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.
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 to him, How old are you?
Chuin Pharaoh in “Kum ijat na hitam tin Jacob chu adong in ahi.”
9 And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.
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 gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.
Hichun Jacob in Pharaoh avel in adalhah masang in avel in phatthei aboh kit in ahi.
11 And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.
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 took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.
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 Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.
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 And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.
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 when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.
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 And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.
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 took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.
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 And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;
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 Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become 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 got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all 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 made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.
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 he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.
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 Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.
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 when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and 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 to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be 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 Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.
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 And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.
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 was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.
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 time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest 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 But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.
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 And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
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.”
