Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come from the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Te phoeiah Joseph cet tih Pharaoh taengah, “A pa neh ka manuca rhoek khaw, a boiva khaw, a saelhung khaw, amah taengkah aka om boeih te Kanaan kho lamkah halo uh tih Goshen kho ah om uh ke,” a ti nah tih a puen pah.
2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
Te phoeiah a manuca khui kah hlang panga a khuen tih Pharaoh hmai ah a khueh.
3 And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Joseph kah a manuca rhoek te, “Nangmih kah bibi te balae,” a ti nah hatah amih loh Pharaoh la, “Na sal rhoek he kamamih khaw, a pa rhoek long khaw boiva ni ka dawn uh,” a ti nauh.
4 They said moreover to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
Te phoeiah Pharaoh la, “Kanaan kho ah khokha tlung tih na sal rhoek kah boiva ham a luemnah a om pawt dongah hekah khohmuen ah bakuep ham ka lo uh. Te dongah na sal rhoek he Goshen kho ah kho n'sak sak uh mai,” a ti nauh.
5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren have come to thee:
Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Na pa neh na manuca rhoek nang taengah aka lo rhoek te,
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
'Na hmai kah Egypt kho khuikah khohmuen then Goshen kho ah na pa neh na manuca rhoek te khosak sak. Te phoeiah amih khuikah tatthai hlang rhoek te na ming atah amih te kai kah boiva mangpa la khueh,” a ti nah tih a uen.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa Jakob te a khuen tih Pharaoh hmai ah a pai sak hatah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How old art thou?
Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Jakob la, “Nang kah hingnah a kum khohnin loh meyet a lo van coeng,” a ti nah.
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, nor have they attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Te dongah Jakob loh Pharaoh la, “Ka lampahnah kum khohnin he kum pasoi neh thumkip vel a pha coeng. Tedae ka hingnah kum khohnin he yoethae yoehu la om tih a pa rhoek a lampahnah tue vaengkah a hingnah kum khohnin te a pha moenih,” a ti nah.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek tih Pharaoh taeng lamkah pahoi nong.
11 And Joseph placed 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.
Te phoeiah Pharaoh kah a uen vanbangla Joseph loh a napa neh a manuca rhoek te Egypt kho ah khohut pakhat a paek tih khohmuen then Raameses kho ah kho a sak sak.
12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
Te dongah Joseph loh a napa neh a manuca rhoek khaw, a napa imkhui boeih neh camoe ka dongkah caak ham khaw a cangbam pah.
13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Tedae khokha bahoeng tlung tih Egypt kho neh Kanaan kho te khokha loh a khah dongah kho takuem ah caak om pawh.
14 And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
Te vaengah Joseph loh Egypt khohmuen neh Kanaan kho ah cangtham a lai ham rhoek kah tangka a hmuh te boeih a coi. Te phoeiah Joseph loh tangka te Pharaoh im la a khuen.
15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
Tedae Egypt kho neh Kanaan kho kah tangka te a khawk uh vaengah Egypt rhoek loh Joseph te boeih a paan uh tih, “Kaimih he caak m'pae laeh. Tangka ka khawk uh cakhaw ba ham lae nang hmaiah ka duek uh eh?,” a ti uh.
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money hath failed.
Tedae Joseph loh, “Tangka a boeih oeh atah na boiva te m'pae uh lamtah nangmih kah boiva te kan khueh mako,” a ti nah.
17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
Te dongah amamih kah boiva te Joseph taengla a khuen uh tih Joseph loh marhang khaw, boiva tuping khaw, saelhung boiva khaw, laak ham khaw caak a paek pah tih tekah kum ah ngawn tah amih kah boiva boeih te khaw caak neh a khool.
18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
Tedae tekah kum thok tih a kum bae atah Egypt rhoek loh Joseph taengla halo uh tih, “Ka boeipa taengah ka phah uh moenih. Tangka khaw boeih coeng tih boiva neh rhamsa loh ka boeipa taeng a pha coeng dongah kaimih pum neh ka khohmuen pawt atah ka boeipa hmai ah a paih om voelpawh.
19 Why shall we die before thy eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
ba ham lae nang mikhmuh ah ka duek uh eh. Kaimih he khaw, ka khohmuen he khaw n'lai uh. Kaimih khaw ka khohmuen khaw caak neh ka thung coeng atah kamamih neh ka khohmuen loh Pharaoh sal la ka om uh bitni. Tedae cangti nan paek tih ka hing uh daengah man ka duek uh pawt sui tih tolrhum loh a pong pawt sue,” a ti uh.
20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.
Tedae khokha te amih taengah a tlung pah vaengah Egypt rhoek loh a khohmuen rhip a yoih uh tih Egypt kho pum te Pharaoh ham Joseph loh a lai pah coeng dongah Pharaoh kah khohmuen la poeh.
21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to its other end.
Te dongah Egypt khorhi a bawt neh a khat ben lamkah pilnam te amah loh khopuei khuila a puen.
22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore they sold not their lands.
Tedae khosoih rhoek kah khohmuen ngawn tah Pharaoh loh khosoih rhoek ham a paek khotlueh la a om dongah lai van pawh. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek loh Pharaoh kah a paek khotlueh te a caak uh tih a khohmuen te yoi uh pawh.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
Te phoeiah Joseph loh a pilnam la, “Tihnin ah namamih khaw, na khohmuen khaw Pharaoh ham ka lai coeng he. Tedae cangti he namamih ham lo uh lamtah khohmuen te tawn uh ngawn.
24 And it shall come to pass in the harvest, that ye shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
A vuei a thaih a om vaengah panga te Pharaoh taengah pae uh lamtah pali te namamih ham neh lohma kah cangti la, namah cako a caak ham neh na ca rhoek loh a caak ham khaw om saeh,” a ti nah.
25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
Te vaengah, “Ka boeipa kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la m'hmuh uh tih mamih n'hlun atah Pharaoh taengah sal la ka om uh bitni,” a ti uh.
26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s.
Te dongah Joseph loh a khueh oltlueh vanbangla tahae khohnin duela Egypt kho ah hlopnga te Pharaoh hut la om. Khosoih rhoek kah khohmuen bueng te amamih loh a hutnah tih Pharaoh hut la om pawh.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
Te vaengah Israel loh Egypt kho kah Goshen khohmuen ah kho a sak tih a kawt la a kawt dongah pungtai uh tih muep ping uh.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred and forty and seven years.
Jakob khaw Egypt kho ah kum hlai rhih hing tih Jakob kah a hingnah kum khohnin long khaw kum pasoi likip neh kum rhih lo coeng.
29 And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
Te vaengah Isreal kah a duek ham khohnin loh a yoei coeng dongah a capa Joseph te a khue tih, “Nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ni ka dang atah ka phai hmuiah na kut tloeng laeh. Sitlohnah neh uepomnah khaw Kai ham na saii atah kai he Egypt kho n'up boel mai.
30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
Te phoeiah a pa rhoek taengah ka yalh atah kai he Egypt lamkah nan khuen vetih amih kah phuel ah nan up ni,” a ti nah hatah, “Na ol bangla kamah loh ka saii bitni,” a ti nah.
31 And he said, Swear to me. And he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
Te vaengah, “Kamah taengah toemngam dae,” a ti nah hatah a toemngam tih Israel te baiphaih dongkah a lu taengah bakop.
