Genesis 41
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
1Te phoeiah om tih kum a thok tue vaengah Pharaoh loh mang a man tih sokko taengah ana pai.
2And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favoured and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
2Te vaengah vaito pumrhih, a mueimae sakthen neh a pum aka toitup te sokko lamkah lawt halo tih capu ding ah luem uh.
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.
3Amih hnukah a mueimae thae tih a pum aka cangkhawk vaito pumrhih te khaw sokko lamkah lawt ha thoeng bal tih sokko kaeng kah vaito kaepah pai uh.
4And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
4Tedae a mueimae thae tih a pum aka cangkhawk vaito pumrhih loh a mueimae sakthen neh aka toitup vaito te a caak uh, vaengah Pharaoh haenghang.
5And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
5Te phoeiah ip tih a pabae la mang a man hatah cangvuei thamkom neh aka then parhih te a cangkong pakhat dongah tarha vuei.
6And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
6Te phoeiah aka om cangvuei thamyit parhih te tah a hnukah kanghawn loh a yah tih a hum sak.
7And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
7Tedae cangvuei thamyit parhih loh cangvuei thamkom neh cangtak te a yoop vaengah Pharaoh haenghang hatah a mang la pawk.
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.
8Te dongah mincang a pha vaengah tah a mueihla a cahoeh. Egypt hmayuep boeih neh aka cueih boeih te khaw a tah tih a khue. Tedae Pharaoh loh amih taengah a mang te a thui hatah Pharaoh ham aka thuicaih thai om pawh.
9Then spoke the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying: 'I make mention of my faults this day:
9Te daengah tuitul mangpa loh Pharaoh taengah, “Tihnin ah ni kamah tholh te ka poek.
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.
10Pharaoh loh a sal rhoek taengah a thintoek tih kai neh buh thong mangpa te imtawt mangpa kah im thongim la n'khoh.
11And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
11Tedae hlaem pakhat ah kai khaw anih khaw mang ka man rhoi hatah mang thuingaihnah te rhirha aka om te ka man rhoi.
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.
12Te vaengah imtawt mangpa kah sal, Hebrew cadong te kaimih taengah om. Te dongah anih ham ka thui pah rhoi dongah kaimih rhoi kah mang te kaimih rhoi ham a thuicaih. Hlang kah a mang khaw a thuicaih.
13And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was: I was restored unto mine office, and he was hanged.'
13Kaimih rhoi taengah a thuicaih vanbangla om tih a thoeng dongah kai he ka hmuen koep han khueh vaengah anih te a kuiok sak,” a ti nah tih a thui pah.
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.
14Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph te a tah tih khue sak vanbangla anih te tangrhom khui lamkah koe a doek uh tih sam a vok, himbai a tho phoeiah Pharaoh taengla cet.
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.'
15Te vaengah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Mang ka man tih aka thuicaih a om pawt vaengah aka thuicaih ham nang loh mang na yakming a ti tih nang kawng te ka yaak,” a ti nah.
16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: 'It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.'
16Tedae Joseph loh Pharaoh te a doo tih, “Kai moenih, Pharaoh te Pathen loh ngaimongnah neh doo bitni,” a ti nah.
17And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph: 'In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river.
17Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph te, “Ka mang ah sokko kaeng la ka pai. dae,
18And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favoured; and they fed in the reed-grass.
18Tedae vaito a pumsa aka toitup tih a suisak sakthen pumrhih te sokko lamkah lawt halo tih capu ding ah luem uh.
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.
19Amih hnukah vaito a tloe pumrhih halo bal dae tattloel la a suisak khaw bahoeng thae tih a pum pim. Tetla thaenah tah Egypt kho tom ah ka hmu pawh.
20And the lean and ill-favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine.
20Te vaengah vaito aka pim neh a thae pumrhih loh lamhma kah vaito aka tha rhoek te a caak uh.
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.
21Tedae amih ko khuila a kun uh thuk lalah a moecuek vaengkah bangla a mueimae a thae dongah amih ko khuila a kun uh te thui la a hut pawt vaengah ka haenghang.
22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.
22Te phoeikah ka mang ah khaw cangvuei thamkom neh a then thamrhih te a cangkong pakhat dongah ha thoeng te lawt ka hmuh.
23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.
23Amih hnukkah cangvuei parih thamyit neh aka rhae, kanghawn loh a yah tih aka hum te tarha halo van.
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.'
24Te vaengah cangvuei aka yit rhoek loh cangvuei a then thamrhih te a dolh dongah hmayuep rhoek ham ka thui pah dae kai taengah aka puen om pawh,” a ti nah.
25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh: 'The dream of Pharaoh is one; what God is about to do He hath declared unto Pharaoh.
25Te dongah Joseph loh Pharaoh la, “Pharaoh kah a mang he pakhat ni. Pathen loh a saii te Pharaoh taengah a phoe coeng.
26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
26Vaito aka then pumrhih khaw kum rhih la om tih cangvuei a then parhih kum rih la om tih a mang te pakhat ni.
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.
27Amih hnukah aka thoeng vaito pumrhih aka pim tih aka thae te khaw kum rhih la om tih, cangvuei aka hi tih kanghawn loh a hum sak parhih te khokha kum rhih ni.
28That is the thing which I spoke unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do He hath shown unto Pharaoh.
28Pharaoh taengah kan thui vanbangla Pathen loh a saii hno he Pharaoh a tueng coeng.
29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.
29Aka lo ham kum rhih te Egypt kho tom ah khobuh khungdaeng ni te.
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;
30Tedae a hnukah khokha kum rhih pai vetih Egypt kho kah khobuh te boeih a hnilh. Te vaengah khohmuen khaw khokha loh a khah ni.
31and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous.
31Te dongah a hnuk lamtah khokha bahoeng nah tih khobuh te vang khui loh ming mahpawh.
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.
32Pharaoh taengah a pabalae la mang a rhaep he khaw Pathen taeng lamloh olka a cikngae sak dongah Pathen loh tlek a saii ni.
33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
33Te dongah Pharaoh loh, aka yakming tih aka cueih hlang te so lamtah anih te Egypt kho ah khueh laeh saeh.
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.
34Khohmuen ah hlangtawt rhoek te Pharaoh loh tuek saeh lamtah khobuh kum kumrhih khuiah Egypt kho kah panga pakhat aka coi la om saeh.
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.
35Te daengah ni kum then a pai vaengkah caak boeih te a coi uh eh. Te phoeiah Pharaoh kut hmuiah cangpai a tung uh vetih khopuei ah caak khaw a cuem eh.
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.'
36Kho kah hnokhueh dongah caak a om daengah ni khokha loh Egypt khokhui la kum kumrhih a om halo vaengah khohmuen te khokha loh a tulnoi pawt eh?,” a ti nah.
37And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
37Tekah olka ngawn tah Pharaoh mik neh a sal rhoek boeih kah mik ah a thuem sak.
38And Pharaoh said unto his servants: 'Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?'
38Te dongah Pharaoh loh a sal rhoek la, “Hekah hlang bangla a khuiah Pathen mueihla aka om te m'hmuh noek nim?,” a ti nah.
39And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou.
39Te dongah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Hekah boeih he Pathen loh nang m'ming sak dongah nang bangla aka thuep neh aka cueih he om pawh.
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.'
40Kai im ah nang om lamtah nang kah olpaek te ka pilnam boeih loh ngai saeh. Ka ngolkhoel bueng nen mah nang lakah ka ham mai eh,” a ti nah.
41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.'
41Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “So lah, Egypt kho pum kah a soah nang ni kan hut sak coeng,” a ti nah.
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.
42Pharaoh loh a kut dongkah a kutcaeng te a dul tih Joseph kah kut ah a buen pah. Hnitang himbai neh a khuk phoeiah a rhawn ah sui oi a oi sak.
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.
43Leng dongah khaw a hnukthoi la a ngol sak tih, “Anih hmai ah cungkueng uh,” hlo a phoek uh tih Egypt kho boeih kah a soah Joseph te a khueh.
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.'
44Te phoeiah Pharaoh loh Joseph la, “Kai he Pharaoh coeng dae nang muehah hlang loh a kut khaw a kho khaw Egypt kho tom ah thueng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
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. —
45Joseph ming khaw Pharaoh loh Zephenathpaneah la a khue tih a yuu la Oni khosoih Potiphera canu Asenath te a paek. Te phoeiah Joseph loh Egypt kho tom a hil.
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.
46Egypt manghai Pharaoh taengla a kun vaengah Joseph te kum sawmthum lo ca pueng. Tedae Pharaoh mikhmuh lamloh Joseph nong tih Egypt kho tom boeih a hil.
47And in the seven years of plenty the earth brought forth in heaps.
47Te phoeiah khobuhnah kum rhih khuiah tah khohmuen te kutvang long khaw a thaih sak.
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.
48Te dongah Egypt kho kah aka thoeng kho kum rhih kah caak boeih te a coi tih khopuei boeih ah caak a tung. Khopuei kaepvai kah khohmuen cang khaw a khui ah a khueh.
49And Joseph laid up corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.
49Joseph loh cang a tung vaengah tuitunli kah laivin bangla muep a yet dongah a loeng tloel tih a tae ham khaw a toeng.
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.
50Khokha kum halo hlanah Oni khosoih Potiphera canu Asenath loh ca a cun pah tih Joseph loh capa panit a sak.
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.'
51Te vaengah Joseph loh, “Ka thakthaenah boeih neh a pa cako boeih te Pathen loh kai n'hnilh sak,” a ti dongah a caming te a ming Manasseh a sui.
52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: 'for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.'
52A ca pabae ming te khaw, “Kai kah phacip phabaem kho ah Pathen loh kai m'pungtai sak,” a ti dongah Ephraim a sui.
53And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
53Tedae Egypt kho ah khobuh kum rhih aka om te bawt.
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 loh a thui vanbangla aka lo ham khokha kum rhih a tong dongah paeng tom ah khokha om coeng dae Egypt kho pum ah caak om pueng.
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.'
55Tedae Egypt kho kho boeih loh a lamlum van vaengah tah pilnam loh caak ham ham te Pharaoh taengla pang uh. Te dongah Pharaoh loh Egypt rhoek boeih te, “Joseph taengla cet uh lamtah nangmih taengah a thui bangla saii uh,” a ti nah.
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.
56Khokha loh diklai hman boeih te a pha vaengah a kho khuikah aka om cangpai boeih te Joseph loh a hlah tih Egypt rhoek ham a yoih pah dongah Egypt kho kah khokha te a noeng.
57And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy corn; because the famine was sore in all the earth.
57Paeng tom long khaw koivawn ham Egypt kah Joseph te a paan uh dongah paeng tom kah khokha khaw a talong.
