< Genesis 47 >

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 out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
Aa le nimb’amy Parò ao t’Iosefe le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa totsak’ atoy boak’an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty raeko naho o rahalahikoo, rekets’ o mpirai-lia’eo naho o mpirai-tro’eo vaho o fanaña’ iareo iabio; oniño t’ie fa mitoetse an-tane Gosena añe.
2 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
Nendese’e t’indaty lime amo rahalahi’eo vaho nampiatrefe’e amy Parò.
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”
Hoe t’i Parò amy rahalahi’e rey, Ino ty fitoloña’ areo? Le hoe iereo amy Parò, Mpiarak’ añondry o mpitoro’oo, zahay naho o roae’aio.
4 They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
Hoe iereo amy Parò, Pok’etoan-jahay hañialo an-tane atoy; amy te tsy aman-tane hiandraza’e o mpirai-liam-pitoro’oo ami’ty hamafe’ i hasalikoañe an-tane Kanàney. Aa ehe, angao hitoetse an-tane Gose­na añe o mpitoro’oo.
5 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
Le hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Fa totsak’ ama’o ty rae’o naho o rahalahi’oo.
6 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
Aña­trefa’o ty tane Mitsraime, ampañialo an-tane kobokara iereo; angao hitoetse an-tane Gosena añe; aa naho rendre’o ze mahatafetetse am’iereo, le ampamandroñeñe iareo o harekoo.
7 Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Nampihovae’ Iosefe amy zao ty rae’e vaho nampiatrefe’e amy Parò, le nitata i Parò t’Iakòbe.
8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
Hoe t’i Parò am’ Iakòbe, Fire ty taoñe niveloma’o?
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”
Hoe t’Iakòbe amy Parò, Zato-tsi-telo-polo ty andro’ o taoñe nañialoako an-tane atoy; tsy ampeampe vaho nampifeak’ ahy ty andro’ o taoñe nivelomakoo fa tsy nahatàkatse ty andro’ o taon-droaekoo, o andro nañialoa’ iareoo.
10 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Tinata’ Iakòbe t’i Parò vaho nienga boak’ añatrefa’ i Parò.
11 Joseph placed his father and his brothers, 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.
Aa le nampimoneña’ Iosefe t’i rae’e naho o rahalahi’eo vaho tinolo’e fanañañe an-tane Mitsraime ao, ty tane hoba amy taney, an-tane Ramsese ao ty amy saontsi’ i Paròy.
12 Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.
Le nifahana’ Iosefe ty rae’e naho o rahalahi’eo, naho ty añ’anjomban-drae’e iaby ami’ty mahakama ho am-bava’ o keleia’eo.
13 There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Ie amy zay tsy ama’ mahakama i tane iabiy, amy te nimafe i san-kerey. Nikantañe ty an-tane Mitsraime ao naho an tane’ Kanàne añe ty amy hasalikoañey.
14 Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
Natonto’ Iosefe ze hene drala nioniñe an-tane Mitsraime ao naho an-tane Kanàne ao, ampitsa­lohañe ty mahakama nikaloa’ iareo vaho nase­se’ Iosefe añ’anjomba’ i Parò ao o dralao.
15 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 bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”
Ie nikapaike ze hene drala an-tane Mitsraime naho an-tane Kanàne añe, le nivotrak’ am’ Iosefe o hene nte-Mitsraimeo nanao ty hoe, Añomezo mahakama! Hatao akore ty hivetraha’ay añatrefa’o? Fa kòake o dralao.
16 Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iosefe, Meo ahiko ty hare’ areo, le ho tolorako mahakama ampi­tsalohañe hare kanao kapai-drala.
17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.
Aa le nendese’ iareo am’ Iosefe ty hare’ iareo vaho tinolo’ Iosefe maha­kama ampikaloañe soavala naho o añondri’ iareo naho o añombe’ iareo naho o birikeo, le finaha’e mahakama amy taoñey o hare’ iareoo.
18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
Ie nimodo i taoñey le niheo ama’e mb’eo amy taoñe nanonjohiy iereo, nanao ty hoe, Tsy hai’ay aetak’ amy talè’aiy te fa ka­pio­ke o drala’aio naho fa amy talè’ay ze troke añombe. Le tsy eo ty añatre­fam-pihaino’ o talè’aio naho tsy o sandri’aio naho o tane’aio.
19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land will not be desolate.”
Inoñe ty hikoromaha’ay naho o tane’aio añatre­fam-pihaino’o? Vilio zahay naho o tane’aio hata­kalo i mahakamay. Ho ondevo’ i Parò zahay naho o tane’ay iabio; fe meo tabiry tsy hivetraha’ay vaho te tsy hangoakoake i taney.
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.
Aa le hene kinalo’ Iosefe ty tane Mitsraime ho a i Parò. Fa songa nandetake i tete’ey o nte-Mitsraimeo ami’ty hamafe’ i san-kerey ama’e; aa le niazo’ i Parò i taney.
21 As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
Le ty am’ ondatio, naveve’e mb’an-drova ao, sikal’ ami’ty efe’ i Mitsraime añe pak’ añ’efe’e ila’e ka.
22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
Ty tane’ o mpisoroñeo avao ty tsy vinili’e; amy te nahazo vati-jadoñe erik’ amy Parò naho nikama i vaty namahana’ i Parò iareoy vaho tsy naleta’ iareo o taneo.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
Le hoe t’Iosefe am’ondatio, Kanao nikaloeko ama’areo anindro­any ho a i Parò o sandri’ areoo naho ty tane’areo, intoy ty tabiry ho anahareo; tongiso i taney.
24 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”
Le hatolo’ areo amy Parò am-pitatahañe añe ty faha-lime’e naho ho tana’areo ty faha-lime’e efatse ho tabiry amo tonda’ areoo, le ho mahakama’ areo naho ho a o añ’anjomba’ areoo vaho ho a o keleia’ areoo.
25 They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
Hoe iereo, Fa rinomba’o ty fiai’ay, aa ehe te hahatendrek’ isoke am-pahaoniñan-talekoy, le ho mpitoro’ i Parò zahay.
26 Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh’s.
Aa le nanoe’ Iosefe fañè an-tane Mitsraime pak’ androany te a i Parò ty faha-lime’e naho tsy ty tane’ o mpisoroñeo avao, ie tsy nivalike ho amy Parò.
27 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Aa le nitoetse an-tane Mitsraime, an-tane Gosena añe t’Israele vaho nanontoñe vara ao, le namokatse vaho nangetseketseke.
28 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.
Ni­mo­­ne­ñe an-tane Mitsraime ao folo-tao-fito’amby t’Iakòbe. Aa le zato-tsi-efapolo-fito’ amby taoñe ty andro niveloma’ Iakòbe.
29 The time came near that Israel must die, and he called 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,
Ie nitotoke ty fañitoza’ Israele, le kinan­ji’e t’Iosefe ana-dahi’e le hoe ty nafè’e: Ie nahaonim-pañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o, le ehe aziliho ambane’ foto-peko ao ty fità’o havana vaho atraho am-patarihañe naho havantañañe. Ko mandeveñe ahy e Mitsraime atoy;
30 but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
aa kanao hindre hitsalalampatse aman-droaeko ao, le takono hiakatse i Mitsraime vaho alenteho an-kibori’ iareo ao. Hoe ty natoi’e, Hene hanoeko o nisaontsie’oo,
31 Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
le hoe re, Mifantà amako, le nifanta’e, vaho nibokok’ antondohàm-pandrea’e eo t’Israele.
