¹It happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.

¹Huan, kum nih vengveng nungin hichi ahia, Pharo in mang a neia; huan, ngaiin, lui gei ah ana dinga.

²Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

²Huan, ngaiin, bawngpi sagih hoih taktak thau taktak tui akipan in a hongpawt khe tou ua, loupa nou lakah a hongta uh.

³Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

³Huan, ngaiin, bawngpi dang sagih kil theuthou gawng gemgom a hongpawt khe tou nawn ua, bawngpi dangte kiangah lui gei ah a hong ding uhi.

⁴The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

⁴Huan, bawngpi kil theuthou ten bawngpi hoih taktak thau taktak te a gai maimah uhi.

⁵He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

⁵Huchiin, Pharo a khangloua a. Huan, a ihmu nawna, mang a nei nawn a: huan, ngaiin, buh a kung khat a h vui sagih lian pipi hoih liahliah a hong om khia a.

⁶Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

⁶Huan, ngaiin, huai nungin vui sagih ngat gigeuh suahlam huih nuai ek a hing om khe nawna,

⁷The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

⁷Huan, vui ngat gigeuh ten vui sagih lian pipi hoih liahliah te a valh khin maimah ua. Huan, Pharo a khangloua a; huan, ngaiin, mang ana hi hi.

⁸It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

⁸Huan, a jingin hichi ahia, a lungsim a buai mahmah a; hichiin, mi a sawl a, Aigupta gama mitkhialdawi siam tengteng leh mipil tengteng a sam khawm a: huan, Pharo in a mang amau a na hilh a; himahleh Pharo hilhchian thei kuamah lah a om ngal kei ua.

⁹Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faults today.

⁹Huchih laiin uain pia heutupen in Pharo kiangah, tuni in ka mohdan te ka honthei kheta:

¹⁰Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

¹⁰Pharo a sikhate tungah a heh a, huchiin vengmi pawl heutu in ah kei leh tanghou bawl heutupen a hon tangsak a:

¹¹We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

¹¹Huan, kei leh aman jan khat mang ke nei ua, mang khiakna tuam tuak ahi ka mat uh.

¹²There 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 interpreted.

¹²Huan, huailai ah ka kiangah vengmi pawl heutu sikha, Hebru mi, tangval khat a om a; huan, amah ka hilh ua, aman ka mangte uh a hilhchian ta hi; ka mang bang tuaktuak un ahi a hon hilhchet.

¹³It happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was: he restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”

¹³Huan, hichi ahia; kei bel ka nasep mah a hon semsak nawn a, amah bel a khaita a, achia.

¹⁴Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

¹⁴Huchiin, Pharoin Joseph a samsak pah ngala, huchiin kintakin kokhuk akipan a pikheta ua: huan, a kimet ngila, a puansilh a kheka, Pharo kiangah a valutta hi.

¹⁵Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”

¹⁵Huan, Pharo in Joseph kiangah, mang ka neia, a hilhchian thei kuamah a om kei ua, nang bel mang a thu na theih leh na hilhchian thei chih na tungtang mi gen ka naja a, achia.

¹⁶Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”

¹⁶Huan, Joseph in Pharo a dawnga, huai ahihleh keia om ahikei hi, Pathianin Pharo lungmuanhuai takin a dawng zaw ding, achia.

¹⁷Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

¹⁷Huan, Pharo in Joseph kiangah, ka mangin, ngaiin, lui gei ah ka na dinga:

¹⁸and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,

¹⁸Hua, ngaiin, bawngpi sagih thau taktak hoih pipi tuia kipan in a hongpawt khetou ua, loupanou lakah ana ta ua:

¹⁹and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

¹⁹Huan, bawngpi dang sagih ginalou leh deih huailou leh gawng siatsuat, huchibang tela hoihlou Aigupta gam tengteng a leng ka muh ngeilouh, nung uah a hong pawt khetou nawn ua:

²⁰The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

²⁰Huan, bawngpi gawng siatsuat deih huailou pipiten bawngpi sagih thau taktak hongpawt masa te a hon gai maimah ua:

²¹and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

²¹Huan, a gaih khit nung un leng a ne uh chih a kithei tuan keia: a tunglai mah bangin deih huailou takin a om lailai uhi. Huchiin ka khangloua ta hi.

²²I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

²²Huan, ka mangin, ngaiin, buh kung khat ah vui sagih lian pipi, hoih pipi a hong om khia a:

²³and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

²³Huan, ngaiin, huai nungin vui sagih vuai niangnuang, neu chikchik, suahlam huih in a nuai a hong om khe nawn ua:

²⁴The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”

²⁴Huan, vui ngat ngingeuh ten vui sagih hoih taktak te a valh khit maimah uh ka mu a: huan, mitkhialdawi siamte ka hilh a, himahleh hon hilhchian thei lah kuamah a om tuan ngal kei ua, chiin, a gen hi.

²⁵Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

²⁵Huan, Joseph in, Pharo kiangah, Pharo mang jaw khat ahi: Pathian in hih dia a kisak Pharo theisak eive.

²⁶The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

²⁶Bawng sagih hoih taktak te kum sagih ahi ua; vui sagih hoih taktak te leng kum sagih ahi uh: mang bel khat ahi hi.

²⁷The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

²⁷Huan, a nung ua bawng sagih tek taktak deih huailou taktak hongpawt khetou te kum sagih hi ua, vui sagih a hawm ngen suahlam huih nuaite toh; huaite kial kum kum sagih ding ahi.

²⁸That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

²⁸Huai ahi Pharo kianga ka gen: Pathian in hih dia a kisak Pharo kianga a theihsak ahi.

²⁹Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

²⁹Ngaiin, Aigupta gamsung tengteng ah niang leh tai a om kum kum sagih a hongtung ding;

³⁰There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

³⁰Huai nungin kial kum kum sagih a hong om nawn ding; huchiin niang leh tai a omna Aigupta gamah mangngilh vek ahita ding; kial in gam a ne gawp vek ding hi;

³¹and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

³¹Niang leh tai, a honjui kial jiakin, hiai gamah a thei nawnta kei ding uh; a thupi sin mahmah ngala

³²The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

³²Huan, mang Pharo nihvei a neih tuansakna ahihleh hiai jiak ahi, thil hih ding Pathianin a hihkipa, Pathian mahin a tunsak pah ding jiakin.

³³“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

³³Huchiin tuin Pharo in mi khat tei tak pilsak mai zong khia henla, Aigupta gam tungah heutuin omsak hen,

³⁴Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.

³⁴Pharoin huai hih henla, huan, gam tungah heutute sep henla, niang leh taia om kum kum sagih sung Aigupta gam buh mun nga a khena mun khat jel khon hen,

³⁵Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

³⁵Huchiin, amau huai kum hoih kum hongtung dinga buh tengteng kaikhawmin Pharo nuaia om dingin khuate ah tununga nek dingin buh sungkhawm henla, khol khawm hen.

³⁶The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine.”

³⁶Huchiin, kial jiaka gam a man louhna dingin, buh bel kial kum kum sagih, Aigupta gam a hongtung ding a dingin, hiai gam adingin kiginkholhna ding ahi ding, a chi a.

³⁷The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

³⁷Huan, huai thu Pharo leh a sikhate tengtengin hoih a saklam tak uh ahi.

³⁸Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”

³⁸Huan, Pharoin, a sikhate kiangah, hichibang, Pathian kha omna mi, I mu zou ding ua hia? a chi a.

³⁹Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you.

³⁹Huan, Pharo mahin, Joseph kiangah, Pathianin huai tengteng a hon theisak jiakin, nang banga tei leh pil himhim a om kei uhi:

⁴⁰You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”

⁴⁰Nang ka inkuanpihte tungah heutu in na om dinga, ka khua leh tui tengteng na thu bang jelin a om ding uh: laltutphah a tut thu ah kia nang sangin ka lal ding, a chi a.

⁴¹Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”

⁴¹Huan, Pharo mahin, Joseph kiangah, enin, Aigupta gam tengteng tungah heutuin ka honbawl hi, a chi a.

⁴²Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,

⁴²Huan, Pharoin a khut a kipanin a min sawmna zungbuh a tola, Joseph khut ah abunsaka, puan malngata bawl puansilhte a silhsaka, a ngawngah dangkaeng khainiang a oksaka.

⁴³and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.

⁴³Huan, a kangtalai neih nihna ah a tuangsaka: a maah, khukdin un, chiin, a kikou jel ua: huchiin, Aigupta gam tengteng tungah heutu in a bawlta hi.

⁴⁴Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”

⁴⁴Huan, Pharo in, Joseph kiangah, kei Pharo ka hi, na thu louin Aigupta gamsung tengteng ah kuamahin a khut uh hiam, a khe uh hiam a lik kei ding, a chi a.

⁴⁵Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

⁴⁵Huan, Pharoin Joseph min dingin Zaphenathpaneh a sata: On kho siampu Potipher tanu Asenath a ji dingin a piaa, Huan, Joseph a pawta, Aigupta gam a tuansuak hi.

⁴⁶Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁴⁶Huan, Joseph Aigupta gam kumpipa Pharo maa a din laiin kum sawm thum a upa ahi. Huan, Joseph Pharo kianga kipanin a pawta, Aigupta gam tengteng a siksuak hi.

⁴⁷In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.

⁴⁷Huan, hoih kum kum sagih sungin lei in tam pipiin buh a tungsak hi.

⁴⁸He 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 around every city, he laid up in the same.

⁴⁸Huan, Aigupta gam a kum hoih kum kum sagih hong tunga buh tengteng a dong khawma, buh khuate ah a sung khawmta: kho chih a kima lou a buh chiat a sung khawm jel hi.

⁴⁹Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

⁴⁹Huchiin, Joseph in buh tampi tuipi piaunel zah bangin a sung khawm venvon a, a sim mah leng a tawpta hiala; simzoh vual lah a hita ngal keia.

⁵⁰To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

⁵⁰Huan, kial hongtun main Joseph in tapa nih a neia, huaite On kho siampu Potipher tanu Asenath in a neihte ahi uh.

⁵¹Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “Manasseh” sounds like the Hebrew for “forget.” “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”

⁵¹Huan, Joseph in a ta masa min ding Manassi a sa a: Pathian in ka sep gimna tengteng leh ka pa inkuanpihte tengteng lah a hon mangngilhsak ta ngala, achia.

⁵²The name of the second, he called Ephraim “Ephraim” sounds like the Hebrew for “twice fruitful.” : “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

⁵²Huan, ata nihna min dingin Ephraim asa a: Pathian in ka gimthuakna gamah chi lah a honsuangsak ta ngala, achia.

⁵³The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

⁵³Huan, kum hoih kum, kum sagih Aigupta gama hongtung a hong beita hi.

⁵⁴The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

⁵⁴Huan, kial kum, kum sagih ding, Joseph gen bangbang in a hong tung panta a gam chih ah kial a hong keta a; Aigupta gamsung tengteng ah bel nek ding a om hi.

⁵⁵When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”

⁵⁵Huan, Aigupta gam a mi tengteng a kial tak un Pharo kiangah nek ding ngenin a kikou ua: huan, Pharo in, Aigupta mi tengteng kiangah, Joseph kiangah hoh unla; na kiang ua a gen peuhmah hih un, achia.

⁵⁶The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

⁵⁶Huan, kial leitung pumpi ah a keta hi: huchiin, Joseph in sunkhawmna in tengteng a hong a, Aigupta gamah lah kial a nak kiak mahmah a.Huan, leitung pumpi a kial a nak kiak jiak in gam chiha mite buh lei dingin Aigupta gamah Joseph kiangah a hong jel uhi.

⁵⁷All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

⁵⁷Huan, leitung pumpi a kial a nak kiak jiak in gam chiha mite buh lei dingin Aigupta gamah Joseph kiangah a hong jel uhi.
