< Genesis 47 >

1 Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.
Josẹfu lọ sọ fún Farao pé, “Baba mi àti àwọn arákùnrin mi, pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran, agbo màlúù àti ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ní, ti dé láti ilẹ̀ Kenaani, wọ́n sì ti wà ní ilẹ̀ Goṣeni báyìí.”
2 And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.
Ó yan márùn-ún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ́, ó sì fi wọ́n han Farao.
3 And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.
Farao béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni iṣẹ́ yín?” Wọ́n sì fèsì pé, “Darandaran ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba wa ti jẹ́ darandaran.”
4 And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.
Wọ́n sì tún sọ fun un síwájú sí i pé, “A wá láti gbé ìhín yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀ nítorí ìyàn náà mú púpọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò sì rí ewéko jẹ. Nítorí náà jọ̀wọ́ má ṣàì jẹ́ kí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tẹ̀dó sí ilẹ̀ Goṣeni.”
5 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.
Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Baba rẹ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tọ̀ ọ́ wá,
6 And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.
ilẹ̀ Ejibiti sì nìyí níwájú rẹ, mú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tẹ̀dó sí ibi tí ó dára jù nínú ilẹ̀ náà. Jẹ́ kí wọn máa gbé ní Goṣeni. Bí o bá sì mọ ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn tí ó ní ẹ̀bùn ìtọ́jú ẹran, fi wọ́n ṣe olùtọ́jú ẹran ọ̀sìn mi.”
7 Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.
Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu mú Jakọbu baba rẹ̀ wọlé wá sí iwájú Farao. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Jakọbu súre fún Farao tán.
8 And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?
Farao béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jakọbu pé, “Ọmọ ọdún mélòó ni ọ́?”
9 And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.
Jakọbu sì dá Farao lóhùn, “Ọdún ìrìnàjò ayé mi jẹ́ àádóje, ọjọ́ mi kò pọ̀, ó sì kún fún wàhálà, síbẹ̀ kò ì tí ì tó ti àwọn baba mi.”
10 And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.
Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu tún súre fún Farao, ó sì jáde lọ kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
11 And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.
Josẹfu sì fi baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ó sì fún wọn ní ohun ìní ní ibi tí ó dára jù ní ilẹ̀ náà, ní agbègbè Ramesesi bí Farao ti pàṣẹ.
12 And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.
Josẹfu sì pèsè oúnjẹ fún baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi iye àwọn ọmọ wọn.
13 Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí oúnjẹ ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà nítorí tí ìyàn náà mú púpọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti ilẹ̀ Kenaani gbẹ nítorí ìyàn náà.
14 And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.
Josẹfu gba gbogbo owó tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti Kenaani ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ti ọkà tí wọn ń rà, ó sì mú owó náà wá sí ààfin Farao.
15 And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.
Nígbà tí owó wọn tán pátápátá ní Ejibiti àti Kenaani, gbogbo Ejibiti wá bá Josẹfu, wọ́n wí pé, “Fún wa ní oúnjẹ, èéṣe tí a ó fi kú ní ojú rẹ? Gbogbo owó wa ni a ti ná tán.”
16 And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.
Josẹfu wí pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn yín wá, èmi yóò fún un yín ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹran ọ̀sìn yín, níwọ̀n bí owó yín ti tan.”
17 So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.
Nítorí náà wọ́n mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn tọ Josẹfu wá, ó sì fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹṣin, àgùntàn, ewúrẹ́, màlúù àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn. Ó sì mú wọn la ọdún náà já, tí ó ń fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn.
18 And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;
Nígbà tí ọdún náà parí, wọn padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ọdún tí ó tẹ̀lé, wọn wí pé, “A kò le fi pamọ́ fun olúwa wa pé níwọ̀n bí owó wa ti tan tí gbogbo ẹran ọ̀sìn wa sì ti di tirẹ̀ pé, kò sí ohunkóhun tókù fún olúwa wa bí kò ṣe ara wa àti ilẹ̀ wa.
19 Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.
Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi parun lójú rẹ, ra àwa tìkára wa àti ilẹ̀ wa ní ìpààrọ̀ fún oúnjẹ, àwa àti ilẹ̀ wa yóò sì wà nínú ìgbèkùn Farao. Fún wa ni oúnjẹ kí àwa kí ó má ba à kú, kí ilẹ̀ wa má ba à di ahoro.”
20 So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.
Nítorí náà Josẹfu ra gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ó wà ní Ejibiti fún Farao, kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní Ejibiti tí kò ta ilẹ̀ tirẹ̀ nítorí ìyàn náà mú jù fún wọn. Gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà sì di ti Farao,
21 And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.
Josẹfu sì sọ gbogbo ará Ejibiti di ẹrú láti igun kan dé èkejì.
22 Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.
Ṣùgbọ́n ṣá, kò ra ilẹ̀ àwọn àlùfáà, nítorí wọ́n ń gba ìpín oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́ Farao, wọn sì ní oúnjẹ tí ó tó láti inú ìpín tí Farao ń fún wọn. Ìdí nìyí tí wọn kò fi ta ilẹ̀ wọn.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.
Josẹfu wí fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo ti ra ẹ̀yin àti ilẹ̀ yín tan lónìí fún Farao, irúgbìn rèé, ẹ lọ gbìn ín sí ilẹ̀ náà.
24 And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìre oko náà bá jáde, ẹ ó mú ìdákan nínú ìdámárùn-ún rẹ̀ fún Farao. Ẹ le pa ìdámẹ́rin tókù mọ́ fún ara yín àti ìdílé yín àti àwọn ọmọ yín.”
25 And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Wọ́n dá á lóhùn pé, “O ti gbà wá là, ǹjẹ́ kí a rí ojúrere níwájú olúwa wa, àwa yóò di ẹrú Farao.”
26 Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.
Nítorí náà Josẹfu sọ ọ́ di òfin nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ilẹ̀ ni Ejibiti, ó sì wà bẹ́ẹ̀ di òní olónìí pé, ìdákan nínú ìdámárùn-ún ìre oko jẹ́ ti Farao, ilẹ̀ àwọn àlùfáà nìkan ni kò di ti Farao.
27 And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.
Àwọn ará Israẹli sì tẹ̀dó sí Ejibiti ní agbègbè Goṣeni. Wọ́n ní ohun ìní fún ara wọn, wọ́n sì bí sí i tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọ́n pọ̀ si gidigidi ní iye.
28 And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.
Jakọbu gbé ní Ejibiti fún ọdún mẹ́tàdínlógún iye ọdún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ẹẹ́tàdínlàádọ́jọ.
29 And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;
Nígbà tí àkókò ń súnmọ́ etílé fún Israẹli láti kú, ó pe Josẹfu, ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí mo bá rí ojúrere ni ojú rẹ̀ fi ọwọ́ rẹ sí abẹ́ itan mi, kí o sì ṣe ìlérí pé ìwọ yóò fi àánú àti òtítọ́ hàn sí mi. Má ṣe sin òkú mi sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
30 But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.
Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí mo bá sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba mi, gbé mí jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti kí o sì sin mí sí ibi tí wọ́n sin àwọn baba mi sí.” Josẹfu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ó ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí.”
31 And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
Jakọbu wí pé, “Búra fún mi,” Josẹfu sì búra fún un. Israẹli sì tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba, bí ó ti sinmi lé orí ibùsùn rẹ̀.
