Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
World English Bible
1Joseph loe caeh moe, Faro khaeah, Kam pa hoi kam yanawk loe tuu, maitawnawk hoi a tawnh o ih hmuennawk boih phawh o moe, Kanaan prae hoiah angzoh o boeh, vaihi Goshen ah oh o, tiah a thuih pae.
1Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
2Anih mah amya pangato a qoih moe, nihcae to Faro khaeah caeh haih.
2From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
3Faro mah anih ih amyanawk to lokdueng, Tih tok maw na sak o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah Faro khaeah, Na tamnanawk loe kam pa mah sak ih tok baktih toengah, tuu toep kami ah ka oh o, tiah a naa o.
3Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”
4Nihcae mah Faro khaeah, Kanaan prae ah khokhahaih nung parai moe, pacah ih moinawk caak han ahmuen om ai boeh pongah, hae prae ah khosak hanah kang zoh o; to pongah vaihi na tamnanawk hae Goshen prae ah na omsak ah, tiah a naa o.
4They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
5Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Nam pa hoi nam yanawk loe nang khaeah angzoh o boeh.
5Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6Izip prae loe na hmaa ah ni oh; prae thung ih kahoih koek ahmuen ah nam pa hoi nam yanawk to omsak ah; Goshen prae ah om o nasoe; nihcae thungah hmuenmae sak kophaih tawn kami om nahaeloe, kai ih maitaw khenkung ah suem ah, tiah a naa.
6The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
7To pacoengah Joseph mah ampa to zaeh moe, Faro to patuek; Jakob mah Faro tahamhoihaih paek.
7Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8Faro mah Jakob khaeah, Saning nazetto maw na oh boeh? tiah a naa.
8Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
9Jakob mah Faro khaeah, Kai loe angvin ah ka ohhaih saning cumvai, qui thumto oh boeh; ka hinghaih saning loe tamsi vop, toe raihaih paroeai ka tongh; angvin ah kaom kam panawk khosakhaih saning to ka pha ai, tiah a naa.
9Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”
10To pacoengah Jakob mah Faro to tahamhoihaih paek moe, a caehtaak.
10Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11Joseph mah ampa hoi amyanawk Izip prae ah ohsak moe, Faro ih lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, kahoih koek prae, Ramses ahmuen to a paek.
11Joseph placed his father and his brothers, 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.
12Joseph mah angmah ih ampa, amyanawk hoi ampa ih imthung takohnawk boih, kaom kami zetto caaknaek to a paek.
12Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.
13Khokha nung parai pongah, prae thung boih ah buh to om ai boeh; Izip prae hoi Kanaan prae doeh zaek sut boeh.
13There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14Izip hoi Kanaan prae thung ih cang qanhaih phoisa loe Joseph mah patung boih moe, Faro im ah thak pae.
14Joseph gathered up 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.
15Izip prae hoi Kanaan prae ah phoisa boeng naah loe, Izip kaminawk boih Joseph khaeah angzoh o moe, caak hanah buh na paek ah, phoisa ka tawn o ai boeh, to pongah na hmaa ah maw ka duek o han boeh? tiah a naa o.
15When the money was all spent 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 your presence? For our money fails.”
16To naah Joseph mah, Phoisa na tawn o ai boeh nahaeloe, maitaw to sin oh, maitaw zuengah cang to kang paek o han, tiah a naa.
16Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
17To pongah nihcae mah Joseph khaeah maitaw to sinh o; anih mah hrang, tuu, maeh, maitaw hoi laa hrangnawk to cang hoiah alaih pae; to na saning loe nihcae ih maitaw hoiah cang to alaisak boih.
17They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.
18To saning to boeng pacoeng amlaa ah loe, anih khaeah, phoisa ka tawn o ai boeh, tito ka angraeng na hmaa ah kang phat o ai boeh; kaicae ih maitawnawk doeh nang khaeah ni oh boih boeh, ka angraeng mikhnuk ah kaimacae ih takpum hoi lawknawk khue ai ah loe, tidoeh ka tawn o ai boeh.
18When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
19Na hmaa ah ka duek o moe, prae doeh kam ro o sak han boeh maw? Kaimacae hoi ka lawknawk hae cang hoiah qan ah; lawk hoi kaimacae hae Faro ih tamna ah ka oh o halat han boeh; ka hing o moe, prae angqai krang hanah ka duek o han ai ah, cang to na paek ah, tiah a hnik o let bae.
19Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”
20To pongah Joseph mah Faro hanah Izip prae ih lawknawk to qan pae boih; khokhahaih nung parai boeh pongah, Izip kaminawk loe lawk to zawh o boih; to pongah lawknawk loe Faro ih lawk ah angcoeng boih.
20So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.
21Izip prae boenghaih maeto bang hoi maeto bang khoek to kaminawk to vangpui ah angpuensak.
21As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
22Toe qaimanawk ih lawk loe qan pae ai; qaimanawk loe Faro khae hoi caaknaek khawt ah hnuk o; Faro mah nihcae han caaknaek khawt ah paek pongah, lawk to zaw o ai.
22Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land.
23Joseph mah prae kaminawk khaeah, Khenah, vaihi nangcae ih lawk Faro han ka qan pae boeh, hae ih cangtii hae la oh loe, lawk ah tuh oh, tiah a naa.
23Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
24Toe cang na aah o naah pangato thungah maeto Faro han paek oh; kalah palito loe nangmacae han la oh loe, lawk ah tuh oh; nangmacae, na imthung takoh hoi na caanawk mah caak hanah cang to la oh, tiah a naa.
24It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”
25Nihcae mah, Kaicae hinghaih nang pahlong; ka angraeng na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh o nahaeloe, Faro ih tamna ah ka oh o halat han boeh, tiah a naa o.
25They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
26To pongah qaimanawk ih lawk khue ai ah loe, Faro mah pangato thung ah maeto la nasoe, tiah Joseph mah sak ih lawk tawnkung nuiah lok takroekhaih to Izip prae thungah vaihni ni khoek to patoh o.
26Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t become Pharaoh’s.
27Israelnawk loe Izip prae Goshen ah oh o; to prae to toep o moe, qoeng o tahang pacoengah, paroeai pung o.
27Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
28Jokob loe Izip prae thungah saning hatlai sarihto oh, a hinghaih saning loe sangqum boih ah cumvai qui pali, sarihto phak.
28Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.
29Israel duek tom naah, a capa Joseph to kawk moe, anih khaeah, Na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, na ban to ka phaih tlim ah hawt ah loe, tahmenhaih hoi palungthin tang hoiah kai hoi nawnto lokkamhaih sah ah; tahmenhaih hoi kai hae Izip prae ah na phum hmah;
29The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,
30kai loe kam panawk khaeah ni kang song han, Izip prae thung hoiah na phaw ah loe, nihcae aphumhaih ahmuen ah na phum ah, tiah a naa. Anih mah, Na thuih ih baktih toengah ka sak han hmang, tiah a naa.
30but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
31Anih mah, Kai khaeah lokkamhaih sah ah, tiah a naa. To naah Joseph mah anih khaeah lokkamhaih to a sak; Israel loe angmah iihkhum lu bang ah lu akuep tathuk.
31Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
