Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen.
Basa ma, Yusuf no toronoo nara lima reu risiꞌ maneꞌ a. Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Au ama ngga no odꞌi-aꞌa nggara rema mia Kanaꞌan ena. Ara rema rendi banda hiek-lombo, sapi, ma sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara. Basa se sia Gosen ena.”
2 Five men also the last of his brethren, he presented before the king:
3 And he asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
Boe ma maneꞌ a natane nae, “Hei ue-tatao ma saa?” Rataa rae, “Hai manatadꞌa onaꞌ hai bei-baꞌi mara.
4 We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.
Aleꞌ ia, sia rae Kanaꞌan ndoe-laꞌas naseliꞌ de nda hambu nanaat ma uru sa ena. Naa de, hai ima sia nusaꞌ ia fo leo miꞌitataaꞌ. Hai o mendi banda mara boe. De hai mae moꞌe ama maneꞌ, fo leo sia Gosen, fo miꞌiboi banda ra sia naa.”
5 The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
Boe ma maneꞌ a nafadꞌe hihii-nanau na neu Yusuf nae, “Ia naa, ama ma no odꞌi-aꞌa mara sia ia ena.
6 The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.
De ara bole tao nusaꞌ ia onaꞌ sira nusa na. Au uhine ngga, Gosen naa, mamana maloleꞌ sia nusaꞌ ia. De malole lenaꞌ ara leo siaꞌ a naa leo. Ma mete ma sira rahine tao-mataꞌ neu banda no maloleꞌ, naa, onaꞌ bee na ara tao-mataꞌ neu banda nggara sia naa boe.”
7 After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf natudꞌu ama na neu maneꞌ a. De Yakob hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, noꞌe papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee maneꞌ a.
8 And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?
Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a natane e nae, “Amaꞌ too hira ena?”
9 He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.
Yakob nataa nae, “Au usodꞌa too natun esa telu nulu ena, te au nda leo sia mamanaꞌ esaꞌ a sa. Au bei-baꞌi nggara o onaꞌ naa boe. Te au too ngga memaꞌ eꞌekuꞌ lenaꞌ se. Ma sofeꞌ no doidꞌosoꞌ.”
10 And blessing the king, he went out.
Basa de Yakob natea maneꞌ a. Ana nda feꞌe lao sa, te ana noꞌe Lamatualain fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu maneꞌ a fai.
11 But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.
Yusuf tungga maneꞌ a oꞌola na, de natudꞌu mamanaꞌ fee se sia Gosen. Mamanaꞌ naa maloleꞌ. (Dei de ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa ‘Rameses’.) Basa de Yusuf ama na no odi-aꞌa nara leo rakandoo sia naa.
12 And he nourished them, and all his father’s house, allowing food to every one.
Yusuf o banggi-bꞌae nanaat fee ama na, odi-aꞌa nara, ro basa sao-ana nara, tungga sira ume isi nara dedꞌesi nara.
13 For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.
Leleꞌ naa, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ, de sia bee-bꞌee nanaat nese. Mia Masir losa Kanaꞌan atahori ra masaloe ena. Ara nda tao rala saa-saa saꞌ boe, huu ndoe ritaꞌ a mamate nara.
14 Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king’s treasure.
Naa de, atahori mia basa mamanaꞌ sia Masir no Kanaꞌan, rema hasa nanaat sia Yusuf. Ana naduru doiꞌ ra, de neu mbedꞌa sia maneꞌ a ume na.
15 And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, atahori Masir ro Kanaꞌan ra doi nara basa se ena. De ara nda hasa rala nanaat sa ena. Ara risiꞌ Yusuf, ma roꞌe rae, “Ama fetor e! Fee hai nanaat dei, fo hai afiꞌ mate ndoes. Te basa hai doi mara ena.”
16 And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.
Yusuf nataa nae, “Mete ma memaꞌ hei doiꞌ nese ena, naa, taꞌo ia: fee banda mara fo nggati no nanaat.”
17 And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.
De ara fee banda nara reu Yusuf, fo nggati no nanaat. Ara fee ndara, hiek-lombo, sapi no keledei nara. No taꞌo naa, ara rasodꞌa tooꞌ naa, huu Yusuf tao taꞌo naa.
18 And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.
Manafali ma, ara rema risiꞌ Yusuf rae, “Ama fetor e! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai doi ma no banda mara, amaꞌ nggati mala basa se ena. Nda afiꞌ hela saa saꞌ boe. Helaꞌ a hai ao ma no rae ma.
19 Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king’s servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.
Dadꞌi afiꞌ hela hai mate. Mete ma hai mate, seka mana tao mataꞌ neu rae ra? Malole lenaꞌ, ama fetor haꞌi mala hai dadꞌi ate. Haꞌi mala hai rae ma dadꞌi amaꞌ ena na boe. Ma fee fini-ngges fo hai sela fee amaꞌ. Hai bebengge ma, no rae a, amaꞌ nggati no nanaat. Sadꞌi hai afiꞌ mate!”
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao’s hands:
Huu ndoe-laꞌas boe fua, naa de basa atahori Masir ra seo hendiꞌ rae nara. De Yusuf hasa nala basa rae sia Masir, dadꞌi maneꞌ a enan.
21 And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,
Naa de, basa rauinggu Masir ra dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate na.
22 Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.
Te mia basa e, Yusuf nda hasa malangga agama ra rae na sa, huu maneꞌ a fee se nanaat nakandooꞌ a. Naa de, ara nda parlu seo rae nara sa.
23 Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf olaꞌ no manggaraun nara nae, “Ia naa hei dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate na. Basa hei rae ma, au hasa ala fee maneꞌ a ena. De mala fini-ngges ia ra, fo mii sela neu rae ra leo.
24 That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for food for your families and children.
Dei fo oru naa, banggi neu lima. Babanggiꞌ esa mendi fee neu maneꞌ a. Hela babanggiꞌ haa, hei tao neu fini, ma mo ume isi mara mia.”
25 And they answered: Our life is in thy hand: only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.
Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ fee masodꞌaꞌ nema hai. Huu naa, hai moꞌe makasi. Hai mae dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate nara.”
26 From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.
Yusuf tao hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa dadꞌi adat sia Masir. Mia basa are fo manggaraun ra oru, ara banggi neu lima. Babanggiꞌ esa fee neu maneꞌ a. Ma babanggiꞌ haa, ara soa. Akaꞌ a malangga agama ra rae nara, maneꞌ a nda hasa sa. Adat naa, feꞌe sia losa faiꞌ ia.
27 So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it: and grew, and was multiplied exceedingly.
Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori Israꞌel ra leo rakandoo sia Masir, sia rae Gosen. Ara ramasuꞌi, ma tititi-nonosi nara boe ramaheta.
28 And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years.
Yakob feꞌe nasodꞌa too sanahulu hitu fai sia Masir. De ana too natun esa haa nulu hitu.
29 And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt:
Fai mamate na deka-deka boe, ana noꞌe Yusuf de nafadꞌe nae, “Ana Usu e! Au duꞌa-duꞌa na nda doo sa ena, Lamatualain noꞌe baliꞌ au. Dadꞌi au oꞌe, mete ma sue au, naa, teꞌa fo afiꞌ muꞌoi au sia rae Masir ia.
30 But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors. And Joseph answered him: I will do what thou hast commanded.
Musi mendi baliꞌ au ao sisi ngga, nisiꞌ bei-baꞌi tara mamana na. Muꞌoi au sia naa, huu naa, au hiihii ngga.” Yusuf nataa nae, “Malole, amaꞌ! Mete ma amaꞌ nau taꞌo naa, naa, au tunggaꞌ a.”
31 And he said: Swear then to me. And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the bed’s head.
Yakob olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Te, mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, oras ia ho teꞌa dei, mae ho tungga amaꞌ hihiin.” De Yusuf teꞌa tungga Yakob oꞌola na. Basa naa ma, Yakob sendeꞌ lululangga na neu koi ata de hule-oꞌe noꞌe makasi neu Lamatualain.
