1Te 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.
1So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”
2Te phoeiah a manuca khui kah hlang panga a khuen tih Pharaoh hmai ah a khueh.
2And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3Te 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 na uh.
3“What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”
4Te 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 na uh.
4Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen.”
5Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Na pa neh na manuca rhoek nang taengah aka lo rhoek te,
5Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
6'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.
6the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
7Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa Jakob te a khuen tih Pharaoh hmai ah a pai sak hatah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek.
7Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Jakob la, “Nang kah hingnah a kum khohnin loh meyet a lo van coeng,” a ti nah.
8“How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.
9Te 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.
9“My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”
10Te phoeiah Jakob loh Pharaoh te yoethen a paek tih Pharaoh taeng lamkah pahoi nong.
10Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
11Te 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.
11So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12Te dongah Joseph loh a napa neh a manuca rhoek khaw, a napa imkhui boeih neh camoe ka dongkah caak ham khaw a cangbam pah.
12Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
13Tedae khokha bahoeng tlung tih Egypt kho neh Kanaan kho te khokha loh a khah dongah kho takuem ah caak om pawh.
13There was no food, however, in all that region, because the famine was so severe; the lands of Egypt and Canaan had been exhausted by the famine.
14Te 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.
14Joseph collected all the money to be found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were buying, and he brought it into Pharaoh’s palace.
15Tedae 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.
15When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our funds have run out!”
16Tedae Joseph loh, “Tangka a boeih oeh atah na boiva te m'pae uh lamtah nangmih kah boiva te kan khueh mako,” a ti nah.
16“Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.”
17Te 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.
17So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. Throughout that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.
18Tedae 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.
18When that year was over, they came to him the second year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord that our money is gone and all our livestock belongs to you. There is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.
19ba 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.
19Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Purchase us and our land in exchange for food. Then we, along with our land, will be slaves to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
20Tedae 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.
20So Joseph acquired for Pharaoh all the land in Egypt; the Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields because the famine was so severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh’s,
21Te dongah Egypt khorhi a bawt neh a khat ben lamkah pilnam te amah loh khopuei khuila a puen.
21and Joseph reduced the people to servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.
22Tedae 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.
22However, he did not acquire the priests’ portion of the land, for it had been given to them by Pharaoh. They ate the rations that Pharaoh supplied; so they did not sell their land.
23Te 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.
23Then Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sow in the land.
24A 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.
24At harvest time, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and food for yourselves and your households and children.”
25Te 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.
25“You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
26Te 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.
26So Joseph established a law that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh, and it is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day. Only the priests’ land does not belong to Pharaoh.
27Te 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.
27Now the Israelites settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and became fruitful and increased greatly in number.
28Jakob 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.
28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.
29Te 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.
29When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise to show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
30Te 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.
30but when I lie down with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me with them.” Joseph answered, “I will do as you have requested.”
31Te vaengah, “Kamah taengah toemngam dae,” a ti nah hatah a toemngam tih Israel te baiphaih dongkah a lu taengah bakop.
31“Swear to me,” Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
