¹Huchiin, Joseph in Pharo a vahilh a, a kiangah, kapa te, ka unaute, a belam honte uh, a bawng honte uh, a neih tengteng u toh Kanan gam akipan a hongtung sukta ua: huan, ngaiin, Gosen gamah a om uh, achia.

¹Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.

²Huan, a unaute laka kipan mi nga a pia, Pharo a theisak a.

²And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

³Huan, Pharo in, a unaute kiangah, bang na sem na hi ua? Achia. Huan, amau. Pharo kiangah, na sikhate, kou honsuangte akipan, belam chingmite ka hi uh, ach ua.

³And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.

⁴Huan, amau mahin, Pharo kiangah, hiai gam a om tadih dinga hong ka hi uh; ka gam uah lah na sikhate belam honte a dingin nek ding a om nonta keia; kial lah Kanan gamah a nak kiak mahmah ngala; huchiin hehpihtakin na sikhate Gosen gamah hon omsakin, achi ua.

⁴They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

⁵Huan, Pharo in, Joseph a houpiha, na pa leh na unaute na kiangah a hongta ua:

⁵And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:

⁶Aigupta gam a kiching mahmah hi; na pa leh na unaute gam hoihna tata ah tengsak ve: huan, a lak ua mi thilhihthei tak theihna nei ngial om lehouh ka gan tunga heutu dingin bawl in, achia.

⁶The 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 men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

⁷Huan, Joseph in apa Jakob a pi luta, Pharo maah a dingsak a: huchiin Jakob in Pharo a vualjawl a.

⁷And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

⁸Huan, Pharo in Jakob kiangah, kum bangzah na hita a? Achia.

⁸And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?

⁹Huan, Jakob in, Pharo kiangah, ka khualzin nung jaw kum ja leh kum sawm thum ahia: ka damsung kumte khawng a tomin, a haksa ahi, a honsuangte a khualzin lai ua a damsung kum u leng pha zou kei ing achia.

⁹And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

¹⁰Huan, Jakobin Pharo a vualjawl nawna, Pharo kianga kipanin a pawtta hi.

¹⁰And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

¹¹Huchiin, Joseph in apa leh a unaute tenna a bawlsaka, Pharo thupiak bangin Aigupta gama, gam hoihpen takah, Ramases gam a gou dingin a peta hi.

¹¹And 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.

¹²Huan. Joseph in apa leh a unaute leh apa inkuanpihte tengteng a inkuan u bangjelin nek ding a pia a, a vakta hi.

¹²And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

¹³Huan, huai gam tengteng ah nek ding himhim a om takei a; kial lah a nak kiak mahmah ngala, huchiin kial jiakin Aigupta gam leh Kanan gam a bahta hi.

¹³And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

¹⁴Huan, Joseph in, a buh leina man un, Aigupta gam leh Kanan gam a dangka om tengteng a khawmsak veka; huan, Joseph in huai dangka Pharo in ah a tawi a.

¹⁴And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

¹⁵Huan, Aigupta gam leh Kanan gama dangka tengteng a zat bei khit un, Aigupta mi tengteng Joseph kiangah a hong ua, nek ding honpia in aw; na ma a si maimah ding ka hi ding uam? Dangka lah om nawnta ngal kei a, achi ua.

¹⁵And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

¹⁶Huan, Joseph in, na gante uh honpe mei un; dangka a om nawn kei leh na gan man un nek ding ka honpe ding, achia.

¹⁶And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

¹⁷Huchiin, a gante uh Joseph kiangah a honpi ua: huan, Joseph in huai sakol man ding leh, belam hon man ding leh, bawng hon man ding leh sabengtung man dingin dek ding a pe jela: huai kumin a gan tengteng uh man in nek ding a pia a, a vak chiat hi.

¹⁷And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

¹⁸Huan, huai kum a bei a, kum a hong thak nawn in a kiangah a hong nawn ua, a kiangah, ka dangka tengteng uh ka zat beitak dan u leh, pu aw, ka ganhon te uh nanga a hihtak dan bang, pu aw, nang lakah ka im kei ding uh; pu aw, na mit muhin ka pumpi u leh ka gamte uh kialou bangmah a omta mahmah kei hi:

¹⁸When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

¹⁹Na ma ah kou leh ka gam uh mangthang maimah ding hi ve ung maw? Koumau mah ka gam u toh nek dingin honlei maiin, huchiin, koumau leh ka gam uh Pharo sikhate hi mai nung: huan, silou a mi hinga dama ka om theihna ding un, gam a siatlouh na ding, buh chi honpia in, achi ua.

¹⁹Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

²⁰Huchiin, Joseph in Pharo a dingin Aigupta gam tengteng a leisak ta a; kial a tung ua a nak tun mahmah jiakin Aigupta miten lah a lou uh a juak chiat ngal ua; huchiin gam Pharo a ahi vekta.

²⁰And 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.

²¹Mite Aigupta gamgi tawp khatlam a kipanin khatlam tawp phain, khuate ah a kisuansakta a.

²¹And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.

²²Siampu te gam kia a lei keia: siamputen Pharo akipan tantuan a nei ua, Pharo in a piak atantuan uh a ne jel ua; huaijiak in a gam uh a juak kei uhi.

²²Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.

²³Huai nungin, Joseph in, mite kiangah, ngai un, tunin na gam utoh noute Pharo a dingin ka honleita a: hiai, hiaiah nou a dingin buh chi a om, lei ah na ching ding ua.

²³Then Joseph said unto 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.

²⁴Huan, buh lak hun chiangin hichi ahi ding. Pharo a dingin sehnga suah seh khat jel na pe ding ua, a sehli noumau a ahi ding, huaibel lou a chin nawn dingin, noumau leh na inkuanpihte uh nek dingin, na tanu neu chikchik te uh nek ding ahi ding hi, achia.

²⁴And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto 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.

²⁵Huan, amau, nang ka hinna uh na humbitta: pu aw, honhehpih inla, Pharo sikhate ka hi mai ding uh, achi ua.

²⁵And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

²⁶Huchiin, Joseph in Pharo in seh nga suah seh khat a muh jel ding thu, Aigupta gam a dingin tutanin danin a bawlta hi: siampute gam kia ahi, Pharo a hilou.

²⁶And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.

²⁷Huan, Israel in Aigupta gama, Gosen gamah tenna a bawlta a: huailaiah a kihih-inbul ua, chi tampi a suang ua, nakpi takin a pungta uh.

²⁷And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

²⁸Huan, Jakob bel Aigupta gamah kum sawm leh kum sagih a om a: huchiin, Jakob damsung kum kum ja leh kum sawm li leh kum sagih a hita hi.

²⁸And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

²⁹Huan, Israel sihna hun a hiongnaita a: huchiin, a tapa Joseph a sama. A kiangah, na honhehpih theih leh, hehpihtak in huai na khut ka pheipi nuaiah golh inla, hon hehpihin, ka tungah chihtaktakin hih in: hehpihtakin Aigupta gamah honvui mahmah ken;

²⁹And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto 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:

³⁰Hon suangte kianga ka ihmut hun chiangin, nang Aigupta gam akipan na hon jawngkhe dinga, amaute vuina mun ah na honvui zaw ding ahi, achia. Huan, aman, na chih bangin ka honhih ding hi, achia.Huan, aman, ka kiangah kichiamin leh, achia: huchiin, a kiangah a kichiamta hi. Huan, Israel lukhung siin a kunta a.

³⁰But 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.

³¹Huan, aman, ka kiangah kichiamin leh, achia: huchiin, a kiangah a kichiamta hi. Huan, Israel lukhung siin a kunta a.

³¹And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
