Genesis 41
1 After two years, Pharaoh saw a dream. He thought himself to be standing above a river,
Saning hnetto boeng pacoengah, Faro mah amang to sak; anih loe vapui taengah angdoet.
2 from which ascended seven cows, exceedingly beautiful and stout. And they pastured in marshy places.
Khenah, to naah krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihto tui thung hoiah tacawt tahang moe, vapui taeng ih phroh to a caak o.
3 Likewise, another seven emerged from the river, filthy and thoroughly emaciated. And they pastured on the same bank of the river, in green places.
To pacoengah krangsae, zaek kaeng kalah maitaw sarihto vapui thung hoiah tacawt let moe, hmaloe ih maitawnawk khaeah vapui taengah angdoet o.
4 And they devoured those whose appearance and condition of body was so wonderful. Pharaoh, having been awakened,
Krangsae zaek kaeng maitawnawk mah, kranghoih kathawk maitaw sarihtonawk to caak o king. To naah Faro loe anglawt.
5 slept again, and he saw another dream. Seven ears of grain sprung up on one stalk, full and well-formed.
A ih let naah amang to sak let; khenah, katak moe, kahoih parai cangqui sarihto loe cangkung maeto nuiah tacawt o tahang.
6 Likewise, other ears of grain, of the same number, rose up, thin and struck with blight,
To pacoengah ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih, katak ai kazaek cangqui sarihto tacawt let.
7 devouring all the beauty of the first. Pharaoh, when he awakened after his rest,
To naah katak ai kazaek cangqui sarihto mah, katak moe, kahoih cangqui sarihtonawk to caak boih. Faro anglawt naah to hmuen loe, amang ah oh pae.
8 and when morning arrived, being terrified with fear, sent to all the interpreters of Egypt and to all of the wise men. And when they were summoned, he explained to them his dream; but there was no one who could interpret it.
Khawnbang phak naah loe a dawnrai; to pongah Izip prae thungah kaom miklet kop kaminawk hoi palungha kaminawk to a kawk boih; Faro mah nihcae khaeah angmah ih amang to thuih pae, toe mi mah doeh leh pae o thai ai.
9 Then at last the chief cupbearer, remembering, said, “I confess my sin.
To naah boengloeng sinkung mah Faro khaeah, Vaihniah ka poek vawk;
10 The king, being angry with his servants, ordered me and the chief miller of grain to be forced into the prison of the leader of the military.
nito naah Faro loe a tamnanawk nuiah palungphui moe, kai hoi buh thongkung to thongim khenzawnkung ih im ah thong ang pakhrak hoi hmaek.
11 There, in one night, both of us saw a dream presaging the future.
Qumhto naah, anih hoi nawnto amang ka sak hoi; kaimah hnik thuih koehhaih amang to ka sak hoi hmaek.
12 In that place, there was a Hebrew, a servant of the same commander of the military, to whom we explained our dreams.
To naah misatuh angraeng ih tamna, Hebru kami, thendoeng maeto doeh oh toeng; anih khaeah amang to ka thuih pae hoi, anih mah kaihnik hanah amang ang leh pae; ka sak hoi ih amang to ang leh pae hoi hmaek.
13 Whatever we heard was proven afterwards by the event of the matter. For I was restored to my office, and he was suspended on a cross.”
Anih mah ang leh pae ih amang baktih toengah, hmuen to oh phaek; kai loe tok ka hnuk let, kalah maeto loe thing nuiah bangh o, tiah a naa.
14 Immediately, by the king’s authority, Joseph was led out of prison, and they shaved him. And changing his apparel, they presented him to him.
To pongah Faro mah Joseph to kawksak; anih to thongim thung hoi karangah angzoh o haih; sam to aah pae moe, khukbuen to angkraisak pacoengah, Faro hmaa ah a caeh.
15 And he said to him, “I have seen dreams, and there is no one who can unfold them. I have heard that you are very wise at interpreting these.”
Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Amang ka sak, toe mi mah doeh na leh pae o thai ai; toe nang loe amang leh thaih, tiah thuih ih tamthang to ka thaih, tiah a naa.
16 Joseph responded, “Apart from me, God will respond favorably to Pharaoh.”
Joseph mah Faro khaeah, Kai mah sakthaihaih ka tawn ai; toe Sithaw mah a koehhaih baktih toengah Faro khaeah thui tih, tiah a naa.
17 Therefore, Pharaoh explained what he had seen: “I thought myself to be standing on the bank of a river,
To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, khenah, amang ah vapui taengah kang doet;
18 and seven cows climbed up from the river, exceedingly beautiful and full of flesh. And they grazed in a pasture of a marshy greenery.
khenah, vapui thung hoiah krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihto tacawt o moe, vapui taeng ih phrohnawk to a caak o.
19 And behold, there followed after these, another seven cows, with such deformity and emaciation as I had never seen in the land of Egypt.
Khenah, to pacoengah krangsae kathawk ai, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihto tacawt let bae.
20 These devoured and consumed the first,
Kasae moe, kathawk ai, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihto mah, tacawt hmaloe krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihtonawk to caak o king;
21 giving no indication of being full. But they remained in the same state of emaciation and squalor. Awakening, but being weighed down into sleep again,
maitawnawk caak o king pacoengah doeh, caak king boeh, tito mi mah doeh panoek thai ai; toe kathawk maitaw kacaa king, kazaek maitawnawk loe, kathawk maitawnawk caa ai nathuem ih baktih toengah, krangset moe, zaek kaeng ah oh o toeng roeng vop. To pongah kang lawt ving.
22 I saw a dream. Seven ears of grain sprang up on one stalk, full and very beautiful.
Amang ka sak let naah, khenah, kahoih parai cangkung maeto nuiah tacawt cangqui sarihto ka hnuk;
23 Likewise, another seven, thin and struck with blight, rose up from the stalk.
khenah, to pacoengah katak ai, kazaek, ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih kamprawk cangqui sarihtonawk to ka hnuk let.
24 And they devoured the beauty of the first. I explained this dream to the interpreters, and there is no one who can unfold it.”
Atak kaom ai, kazaek cangqui mah atak kaom cangqui sarihtonawk to paaeh boih; hae kawng hae miklet kop kaminawk khaeah ka thuih pae; toe mi mah doeh na thui pae o thai ai, tiah a naa.
25 Joseph responded: “The dream of the king is one. What God will do, he has revealed to Pharaoh.
To pacoengah Joseph mah Faro khaeah, Faro ih amang loe maeto ah ni oh; Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen loe Faro khaeah amtuengsak boeh.
26 The seven beautiful cows, and the seven full ears of grain, are seven years of abundance. And so the force of the dreams is understood to be the same.
Kahoih maitaw sarihto loe saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; katak cangqui sarihto doeh saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; amang loe maeto ah ni oh.
27 Likewise, the seven thin and emaciated cows, which ascended after them, and the seven thin ears of grain, which were struck with the burning wind, are seven approaching years of famine.
To maitawnawk hnukah tacawt krangsae moe, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihtonawk doeh, saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; atak kaom ai, ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih cangqui loe, saning sarihto thung khokha han thuikoehhaih ih ni.
28 These will be fulfilled in this order.
Hae loe Faro khaeah ka thuih tangcae ih amang hoiah ni anghmong; Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen to Faro khaeah amtuengsak boeh.
29 Behold, there will arrive seven years of great fertility throughout the entire land of Egypt.
Khenah, Izip prae thung boih ah saning sarihto thung angraeng paraihaih to om tih;
30 After this, there will follow another seven years, of such great barrenness that all the former abundance will be delivered into oblivion. For the famine will consume all the land,
to pacoengah saning sarihto thung khokhahaih to om tih; to naah Izip prae thungah paroeai angraenghaih to mi mah doeh panoek mak ai boeh; khokhahaih mah prae to amrosak boih tih.
31 and the greatness of this destitution will cause the greatness of the abundance to be lost.
Khokhahaih nung parai pongah, canghniah angraeng paraihaih to mi mah doeh panoek thai mak ai boeh.
32 Now, as to what you saw the second time, it is a dream pertaining to the same thing. It is an indication of its firmness, because the word of God shall be done, and it shall be completed swiftly.
Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen to caksak boeh pongah, Faro khaeah amang vai hnetto amtuengsak boeh; to pongah akra ai ah Sithaw mah to hmuen to omsak tih.
33 Now therefore, let the king provide a wise and industrious man, and place him over the land of Egypt,
To pongah Faro mah, vaihi khopoek thaihaih hoiah palungha kaminawk to pakrong ah loe, Izip prae to uksak ah.
34 so that he may appoint overseers throughout all the regions. And let a fifth part of the fruits, throughout the seven fertile years
Faro mah hae tiah sak na nasoe, prae ukkungnawk to kawk ah loe, prae angraenghaih saning sarihto thung tacawt cang to pangato thungah maeto kok o nasoe.
35 that now have already begun to occur, be gathered into storehouses. And let all the grain be stored away, under the power of Pharaoh, and let it be kept in the cities.
Prae angraeng nathung nihcae mah cang to kok o nasoe loe, Faro khaeah suem o nasoe, vangpui kruekah cang to patung o nasoe.
36 And let it be prepared for the future famine of seven years, which will oppress Egypt, and then the land will not be consumed by destitution.”
Saning sarihto thung Izip prae khokha naah, khokhahaih mah prae to paro ai ah, prae kaminawk mah caak o thai hanah, hae tiah cang patung han oh, tiah a naa.
37 The counsel pleased Pharaoh and all his ministers.
To tiah Joseph mah thuih ih lok to Faro hoi a tamnanawk boih mah hoih, tiah poek o.
38 And he said to them, “Would we be able to find another such man, who is full of the Spirit of God?”
To pongah Faro mah, a tamnanawk boih khaeah, Sithaw ih Muithla katawn, hae baktih kami a hnu o thai tih maw? tiah a naa.
39 Therefore, he said to Joseph: “Because God has revealed to you all that you have said, would I be able to find anyone wiser and as much like you?
To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Sithaw mah nang khaeah hae hmuennawk hae amtuengsak boih boeh pongah, nang pongah khopoek thaih hoi palungha kami om ai boeh;
40 You will be over my house, and to the authority of your mouth, all the people will show obedience. Only in one way, in the throne of the kingdom, will I go before you.”
nang mah ka imthung to uk ah; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah kai ih kaminawk lokcaek han oh; kai loe angraeng tangkhang pongah kang hnut naah khue ni nang pong ka len kue ah ka om tih, tiah a naa.
41 And again, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have appointed you over the entire land of Egypt.”
To pongah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Izip prae boih ukkung ah kang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
42 And he took the ring from his own hand, and he gave it into his hand. And he clothed him with a robe of fine linen, and he placed a necklace of gold around his neck.
To pacoengah Faro mah angmah ih bantuek to angkhring moe, Joseph ih ban ah abuensak; puu kahni to angkhuksak moe, tahnong ah sui bungmu to a oihsak.
43 And he caused him to ascend upon his second swift chariot, with the herald proclaiming that everyone should bend their knee before him, and that they should know that he was governor over the entire land of Egypt.
Anih mah hnetto haih hrang leeng nuiah Joseph to angthuengsak, kaminawk anih hmaa ah khokkhu cangkrawn oh, tiah hang o. To tiah anih loe Izip prae thung boih ukkung ah oh.
44 Likewise, the king said to Joseph: “I am Pharaoh: apart from your authority, no one will move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Kai loe Faro ah ka oh, toe nang ih lok ai ah loe mi kawbaktih doeh Izip prae thung boih ah a ban maw, a khok maw phok o thai mak ai, tiah a naa.
45 And he changed his name and called him, in the Egyptian tongue: ‘Savior of the world.’ And he gave him as a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis. And so Joseph went out into the land of Egypt.
Faro mah Joseph to Zaphnath Paneah, tiah ahmin paek moe, On vangpui ah kaom qaima Potipherah ih canu, Asenath to anih hanah zu ah a paek; Joseph loe Izip prae thung boih ah caeh.
46 (Now he was thirty years old when he stood in the sight of king Pharaoh.) And he traveled throughout the regions of Egypt.
Joseph mah Izip siangpahrang Faro ih toksak pae naah, saning qui thumto oh boeh; Joseph loe Faro hmaa hoi caeh moe, Izip prae to takui boih.
47 And the fertility of the seven years arrived. And when the grain fields were reduced to sheaves, these were gathered into the storehouses of Egypt.
Saning sarihto thung prae thungah cang paroeai tacawt.
48 And now all the abundance of grain was stored away in every city.
Joseph mah saning sarihto thung Izip prae thung boih ah cang to pakhueng moe, vangpui kruekah suek; vangpui taeng ih cang boih vangpui thungah pakhuengsak.
49 And there was such a great abundance of wheat that it was comparable to the sands of the sea, and its bounty exceeded all measure.
Anih mah patung ih cang loe tuipui taeng ih savuet baktiah paroeai pop moe, kroek laek ai khoek to pop, kroek doeh kroek thai ai boeh.
50 Then, before the famine arrived, Joseph had two sons born, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore for him.
Khokhahaih amtong ai naah, On vangpui ah kaom qaima, Potipherah ih canu Asenath mah, Joseph han capa hnetto sak pae.
51 And he called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has caused me to forget all my labors and the house of my father.”
Joseph mah Sithaw mah ka raihaih hoi kam pa ih imthung takoh ang pahnetsak boeh, tiah a thuih pongah calu to Manasse, tiah ahmin phui.
52 Likewise, he named the second Ephraim, saying, “God has caused me to increase in the land of my poverty.”
A capa hnetto haih loe, Ka patanghaih prae ah Sithaw mah athaih ang thaisak, tiah a thuih pongah Ephraim, tiah ahmin sak.
53 And so, when the seven years of fertility that occurred in Egypt had passed,
Izip prae angraenghaih loe saning sarihto thungah boeng.
54 the seven years of destitution, which Joseph had predicted, began to arrive. And the famine prevailed throughout the whole world, but there was bread in all the land of Egypt.
Joseph mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, khokhahaih saning sarihto oh amtong boeh; prae boih ah khokha pongah kaminawk loe duek o, toe Izip prae ah loe buh to oh.
55 And being hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh, asking for provisions. And he said to them: “Go to Joseph. And do whatever he will tell you.”
Izip prae thungah khokhahaih amtong naah, kaminawk loe buh hnik hanah Faro khaeah hang o; to naah Faro mah Izip kaminawk boih khaeah, Joseph khae caeh oh loe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah oh, tiah a naa.
56 Then the famine increased daily in all the land. And Joseph opened all of the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. For the famine had oppressed them also.
Long pum ah khokhahaih to phak, Izip prae thung khokhahaih nung parai boeh pongah, Joseph mah patung ih cang to paongh moe, Izip kaminawk khaeah zawh.
57 And all the provinces came to Egypt, to buy food and to temper the misfortune of their destitution.
Prae thung boih ah khokhahaih nung parai boeh pongah, prae kruek ih kaminawk Izip prae ah angzoh o moe, Joseph khaeah cang to qan o.
