Genesis 41
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
1Saning hnetto boeng pacoengah, Faro mah amang to sak; anih loe vapui taengah angdoet.
2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favoured and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
2Khenah, to naah krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihto tui thung hoiah tacawt tahang moe, vapui taeng ih phroh to a caak o.
3And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and lean-fleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
3To pacoengah krangsae, zaek kaeng kalah maitaw sarihto vapui thung hoiah tacawt let moe, hmaloe ih maitawnawk khaeah vapui taengah angdoet o.
4And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
4Krangsae zaek kaeng maitawnawk mah, kranghoih kathawk maitaw sarihtonawk to caak o king. To naah Faro loe anglawt.
5And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
5A ih let naah amang to sak let; khenah, katak moe, kahoih parai cangqui sarihto loe cangkung maeto nuiah tacawt o tahang.
6And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
6To pacoengah ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih, katak ai kazaek cangqui sarihto tacawt let.
7And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
7To 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.
8And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof; and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
8Khawnbang 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.
9Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying: 'I make mention of my faults this day:
9To naah boengloeng sinkung mah Faro khaeah, Vaihniah ka poek vawk;
10Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in the ward of the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
10nito naah Faro loe a tamnanawk nuiah palungphui moe, kai hoi buh thongkung to thongim khenzawnkung ih im ah thong ang pakhrak hoi hmaek.
11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
11Qumhto naah, anih hoi nawnto amang ka sak hoi; kaimah hnik thuih koehhaih amang to ka sak hoi hmaek.
12And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
12To 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.
13And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: I was restored unto mine office, and he was hanged.'
13Anih 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.
14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. And he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
14To 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.
15And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it; and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it.'
15Faro 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.
16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: 'It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.'
16Joseph mah Faro khaeah, Kai mah sakthaihaih ka tawn ai; toe Sithaw mah a koehhaih baktih toengah Faro khaeah thui tih, tiah a naa.
17And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph: 'In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
17To pacoengah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, khenah, amang ah vapui taengah kang doet;
18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass.
18khenah, vapui thung hoiah krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihto tacawt o moe, vapui taeng ih phrohnawk to a caak o.
19And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favoured and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
19Khenah, to pacoengah krangsae kathawk ai, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihto tacawt let bae.
20And the lean and ill-favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine.
20Kasae moe, kathawk ai, kazaek kaeng maitaw sarihto mah, tacawt hmaloe krang kahoih, kathawk maitaw sarihtonawk to caak o king;
21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favoured as at the beginning. So I awoke.
21maitawnawk 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.
22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
22Amang ka sak let naah, khenah, kahoih parai cangkung maeto nuiah tacawt cangqui sarihto ka hnuk;
23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
23khenah, to pacoengah katak ai, kazaek, ni angyae bang ih takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih kamprawk cangqui sarihtonawk to ka hnuk let.
24And the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.'
24Atak 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.
25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh: 'The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do He hath declared unto Pharaoh.
25To pacoengah Joseph mah Faro khaeah, Faro ih amang loe maeto ah ni oh; Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen loe Faro khaeah amtuengsak boeh.
26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
26Kahoih maitaw sarihto loe saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; katak cangqui sarihto doeh saning sarihto thuikoehhaih ih ni; amang loe maeto ah ni oh.
27And the seven lean and ill-favoured kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.
27To 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.
28That is the thing which I spoke unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do He hath shown unto Pharaoh.
28Hae loe Faro khaeah ka thuih tangcae ih amang hoiah ni anghmong; Sithaw mah sak han ih hmuen to Faro khaeah amtuengsak boeh.
29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
29Khenah, Izip prae thung boih ah saning sarihto thung angraeng paraihaih to om tih;
30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
30to 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.
31and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.
31Khokhahaih nung parai pongah, canghniah angraeng paraihaih to mi mah doeh panoek thai mak ai boeh.
32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
32Sithaw 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.
33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
33To pongah Faro mah, vaihi khopoek thaihaih hoiah palungha kaminawk to pakrong ah loe, Izip prae to uksak ah.
34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty.
34Faro 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.
35And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
35Prae angraeng nathung nihcae mah cang to kok o nasoe loe, Faro khaeah suem o nasoe, vangpui kruekah cang to patung o nasoe.
36And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.'
36Saning 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.
37And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
37To tiah Joseph mah thuih ih lok to Faro hoi a tamnanawk boih mah hoih, tiah poek o.
38And Pharaoh said unto his servants: 'Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?'
38To pongah Faro mah, a tamnanawk boih khaeah, Sithaw ih Muithla katawn, hae baktih kami a hnu o thai tih maw? tiah a naa.
39And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
39To 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;
40Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than thou.'
40nang 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.
41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.'
41To pongah Faro mah Joseph khaeah, Izip prae boih ukkung ah kang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
42And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
42To 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.
43And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him: 'Abrech'; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
43Anih 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.
44And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.'
44To 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.
45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt. —
45Faro 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.
46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. — And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
46Joseph 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.
47And in the seven years of plenty the earth brought forth in heaps.
47Saning sarihto thung prae thungah cang paroeai tacawt.
48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
48Joseph mah saning sarihto thung Izip prae thung boih ah cang to pakhueng moe, vangpui kruekah suek; vangpui taeng ih cang boih vangpui thungah pakhuengsak.
49And Joseph laid up corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
49Anih 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.
50And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On bore unto him.
50Khokhahaih amtong ai naah, On vangpui ah kaom qaima, Potipherah ih canu Asenath mah, Joseph han capa hnetto sak pae.
51And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: 'for God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.'
51Joseph mah Sithaw mah ka raihaih hoi kam pa ih imthung takoh ang pahnetsak boeh, tiah a thuih pongah calu to Manasse, tiah ahmin phui.
52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: 'for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.'
52A capa hnetto haih loe, Ka patanghaih prae ah Sithaw mah athaih ang thaisak, tiah a thuih pongah Ephraim, tiah ahmin sak.
53And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
53Izip prae angraenghaih loe saning sarihto thungah boeng.
54And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said; and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
54Joseph 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.
55And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians: 'Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.'
55Izip 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.
56And the famine was over all the face of the earth; and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt.
56Long 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.
57And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy corn; because the famine was sore in all the earth.
57Prae thung boih ah khokhahaih nung parai boeh pongah, prae kruek ih kaminawk Izip prae ah angzoh o moe, Joseph khaeah cang to qan o.
