< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 47 >

فَأَتَى يُوسُفُ وَأَخبَرَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَالَ: «أَبِي وَإِخْوَتِي وَغَنَمُهُمْ وَبَقَرُهُمْ وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُمْ جَاءُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَهُوَذَا هُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ». ١ 1
Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, they are in the land of Goshen."
وَأَخَذَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ خَمْسَةَ رِجَالٍ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. ٢ 2
And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «مَا صِنَاعَتُكُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «عَبِيدُكَ رُعَاةُ غَنَمٍ نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا جَمِيعًا». ٣ 3
Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."
وَقَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «جِئْنَا لِنَتَغَرَّبَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، إِذْ لَيْسَ لِغَنَمِ عَبِيدِكَ مَرْعًى، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ شَدِيدٌ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَٱلْآنَ لِيَسْكُنْ عَبِيدُكَ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ». ٤ 4
And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
فَكَلَّمَ فِرْعَوْنُ يُوسُفَ قَائِلًا: «أَبُوكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْكَ. ٥ 5
Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,
أَرْضُ مِصْرَ قُدَّامَكَ. فِي أَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَسْكِنْ أَبَاكَ وَإِخْوَتَكَ، لِيَسْكُنُوا فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ. وَإِنْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ بَيْنَهُمْ ذَوُو قُدْرَةٍ، فَٱجْعَلْهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ مَوَاشٍ عَلَى ٱلَّتِي لِي». ٦ 6
and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."
ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يُوسُفُ يَعْقُوبَ أَبَاهُ وَأَوْقَفَهُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. وَبَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ فِرْعَوْنَ. ٧ 7
Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «كَمْ هِيَ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاتِكَ؟» ٨ 8
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"
فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «أَيَّامُ سِنِي غُرْبَتِي مِئَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً. قَلِيلَةً وَ رَدِيَّةً كَانَتْ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاتِي، وَلَمْ تَبْلُغْ إِلَى أَيَّامِ سِنِي حَيَاةِ آبَائِي فِي أَيَّامِ غُرْبَتِهِمْ». ٩ 9
So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."
وَبَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. ١٠ 10
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.
فَأَسْكَنَ يُوسُفُ أَبَاهُ وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ مُلْكًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فِي أَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فِي أَرْضِ رَعَمْسِيسَ كَمَا أَمَرَ فِرْعَوْنُ. ١١ 11
Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
وَعَالَ يُوسُفُ أَبَاهُ وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ بِطَعَامٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ. ١٢ 12
And Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ كَانَ شَدِيدًا جِدًّا. فَخَوَّرَتْ أَرْضُ مِصْرَ وَأَرْضُ كَنْعَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْجُوعِ. ١٣ 13
Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because of the famine.
فَجَمَعَ يُوسُفُ كُلَّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَفِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ بِٱلْقَمْحِ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرُوا، وَجَاءَ يُوسُفُ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ. ١٤ 14
Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's treasury.
فَلَمَّا فَرَغَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةُ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَمِنْ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ أَتَى جَمِيعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ إِلَى يُوسُفَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَعْطِنَا خُبْزًا، فَلِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ قُدَّامَكَ؟ لِأَنْ لَيْسَ فِضَّةٌ أَيْضًا». ١٥ 15
And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."
فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ: «هَاتُوا مَوَاشِيَكُمْ فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ بِمَوَاشِيكُمْ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِضَّةٌ أَيْضًا». ١٦ 16
Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."
فَجَاءُوا بِمَوَاشِيهِمْ إِلَى يُوسُفَ، فَأَعْطَاهُمْ يُوسُفُ خُبْزًا بِٱلْخَيْلِ وَبِمَوَاشِي ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَبِٱلْحَمِيرِ. فَقَاتَهُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةَ بَدَلَ جَمِيعِ مَوَاشِيهِمْ. ١٧ 17
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock for that year.
وَلَمَّا تَمَّتْ تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةُ أَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْثَّانِيَةِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَا نُخْفِي عَنْ سَيِّدِي أَنَّهُ إِذْ قَدْ فَرَغَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةُ، وَمَوَاشِي ٱلْبَهَائِمِ عِنْدَ سَيِّدِي، لَمْ يَبْقَ قُدَّامَ سَيِّدِي إِلَا أَجْسَادُنَا وَأَرْضُنَا. ١٨ 18
When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except our bodies and our lands.
لِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ نَحْنُ وَأَرْضُنَا جَمِيعًا؟ اِشْتَرِنَا وَأَرْضَنَا بِٱلْخُبْزِ، فَنَصِيرَ نَحْنُ وَأَرْضُنَا عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَأَعْطِ بِذَارًا لِنَحْيَا وَلَا نَمُوتَ وَلَا تَصِيرَ أَرْضُنَا قَفْرًا». ١٩ 19
Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become desolate."
فَٱشْتَرَى يُوسُفُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، إِذْ بَاعَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَقْلَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ ٱشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ. فَصَارَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. ٢٠ 20
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on them. So the land became Pharaoh's.
وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَنَقَلَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمُدُنِ مِنْ أَقْصَى حَدِّ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَقْصَاهُ. ٢١ 21
And as for the people, he subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt to the other end of it.
إِلَا إِنَّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ لَمْ يَشْتَرِهَا، إِذْ كَانَتْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ فَرِيضَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَأَكَلُوا فَرِيضَتَهُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ يَبِيعُوا أَرْضَهُمْ. ٢٢ 22
Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not have to sell their land.
فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «إِنِّي قَدِ ٱشْتَرَيْتُكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَأَرْضَكُمْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. هُوَذَا لَكُمْ بِذَارٌ فَتَزْرَعُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. ٢٣ 23
Then Joseph said to the people, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in the land.
وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ ٱلْغَلَّةِ أَنَّكُمْ تُعْطُونَ خُمْسًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْأَجْزَاءُ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ بِذَارًا لِلْحَقْلِ، وَطَعَامًا لَكُمْ وَلِمَنْ فِي بْيُوتِكُمْ، وَطَعَامًا لِأَوْلَادِكُمْ». ٢٤ 24
And it will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as food for your little ones."
فَقَالُوا: «أَحْيَيْتَنَا. لَيْتَنَا نَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْ سَيِّدِي فَنَكُونَ عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ». ٢٥ 25
Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."
فَجَعَلَهَا يُوسُفُ فَرْضًا عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ: لِفِرْعَوْنَ ٱلْخُمْسُ. إِلَا إِنَّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَحْدَهُمْ لَمْ تَصِرْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. ٢٦ 26
So Joseph made it a statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
وَسَكَنَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ، وَتَمَلَّكُوا فِيهَا وَأَثْمَرُوا وَكَثُرُوا جِدًّا. ٢٧ 27
So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.
وَعَاشَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ سَبْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. فَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ يَعْقُوبَ، سِنُو حَيَاتِهِ مِئَةً وَسَبْعًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. ٢٨ 28
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.
وَلَمَّا قَرُبَتْ أَيَّامُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ دَعَا ٱبْنَهُ يُوسُفَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي وَٱصْنَعْ مَعِي مَعْرُوفًا وَأَمَانَةً: لَا تَدْفِنِّي فِي مِصْرَ، ٢٩ 29
And the time approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,
بَلْ أَضْطَجِعُ مَعَ آبَائِي، فَتَحْمِلُنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ وَتَدْفِنُنِي فِي مَقْبَرَتِهِمْ». فَقَالَ: «أَنَا أَفْعَلُ بِحَسَبِ قَوْلِكَ». ٣٠ 30
but when I lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."
فَقَالَ: «ٱحْلِفْ لِي». فَحَلَفَ لَهُ. فَسَجَدَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ. ٣١ 31
Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.
