Kejadian 47
1 Kemudian Yusuf membawa lima orang dari saudara-saudaranya lalu menghadap raja. Katanya, "Ayah dan saudara-saudara hamba telah datang dari Kanaan dengan kawanan kambing domba, sapi dan segala milik mereka. Sekarang mereka ada di daerah Gosyen." Lalu diperkenalkannya saudara-saudaranya itu kepada raja.
Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said: 'My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.'
And from among his brethren he took five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
3 Raja bertanya kepada mereka, "Apa pekerjaanmu?" Mereka menjawab, "Kami ini gembala seperti leluhur kami.
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren: 'What is your occupation?' And they said unto Pharaoh: 'Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.'
4 Kami datang untuk tinggal di negeri ini, karena di tanah Kanaan kelaparan sangat hebatnya, sehingga tidak ada rumput lagi untuk kawanan kambing domba kami. Izinkanlah kami tinggal di daerah Gosyen."
And they said unto Pharaoh: 'To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants' flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.'
5 Lalu berkatalah raja kepada Yusuf, "Sekarang ayah dan saudara-saudaramu sudah ada di sini.
And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph, saying: 'Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee;
6 Anggaplah negeri Mesir sebagai negerimu sendiri. Biarlah mereka menetap di daerah Gosyen, daerah yang paling baik di negeri ini. Dan tugaskanlah kepada orang yang cakap bekerja untuk mengurus ternakku."
the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and thy brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.'
7 Yusuf juga memperkenalkan ayahnya kepada raja. Yakub memberkati raja,
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 dan raja bertanya kepadanya, "Berapa umur Bapak?"
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: 'How many are the days of the years of thy life?'
9 Jawab Yakub, "Hamba sudah hidup seratus tiga puluh tahun sebagai pengembara. Hidup hamba itu penuh kesukaran dan pendek apabila dibandingkan dengan umur leluhur hamba sebagai pengembara."
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh: 'The days of the years of my sojournings are a hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.'
10 Setelah itu Yakub minta diri dan memberi berkat perpisahan.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11 Yusuf membantu ayah dan saudara-saudaranya menetap di Mesir. Diberikannya kepada mereka tanah sebagai hak milik di bagian yang paling baik di negeri itu, di dekat kota Rameses, sesuai dengan perintah raja.
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, 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.
12 Dan Yusuf melengkapi persediaan makanan bagi ayahnya, saudara-saudaranya, dan seluruh sanak saudaranya, sampai kepada yang paling muda.
And Joseph sustained his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to the want of their little ones.
13 Kelaparan itu begitu hebat, sehingga di mana-mana tidak ada makanan lagi. Rakyat Mesir dan rakyat Kanaan lemah dan tidak berdaya karena lapar.
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.
14 Setiap kali mereka membeli gandum, Yusuf mengumpulkan uang pembayar gandum itu, lalu disimpannya di istana raja.
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 Setelah habis uang di Mesir dan di Kanaan, orang-orang Mesir datang kepada Yusuf dan berkata, "Berilah kami makanan! Jangan biarkan kami mati. Uang kami sudah habis."
And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said: 'Give us bread; for why should we die in thy presence? for our money faileth.'
16 Yusuf menjawab, "Jika uangmu sudah habis, berilah ternakmu; aku akan memberi makanan kepadamu."
And Joseph said: 'Give your cattle, and I will give you bread for your cattle, if money fail.'
17 Lalu mereka memberikan ternaknya kepada Yusuf, dan ia memberi makanan kepada mereka sebagai ganti kuda, domba, kambing, sapi dan keledai mereka. Pada tahun itu Yusuf memberi makanan kepada mereka dan mereka membayar dengan ternak.
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the asses; and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
18 Pada tahun berikutnya mereka datang lagi kepadanya dan berkata, "Kami berterus terang kepada Tuan bahwa uang kami sudah habis dan ternak kami sudah menjadi milik Tuan. Kami tidak punya apa-apa lagi yang dapat kami berikan kepada Tuan, selain diri kami sendiri dan tanah kami.
And when that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him: 'We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
19 Jangan biarkan kami mati! Jangan biarkan ladang-ladang kami menjadi tandus. Belilah kami dan tanah kami dengan gandum sebagai pembayarannya. Kami dan tanah kami akan menjadi milik raja. Berilah kami gandum untuk menyambung hidup kami dan juga benih untuk ditabur di ladang kami!"
Wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.'
20 Lalu Yusuf membeli semua tanah di mesir untuk raja. Setiap orang Mesir terpaksa menjual tanahnya, karena masa kelaparan itu sangat dahsyat; lalu semua tanah di Mesir menjadi milik raja.
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon them; and the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Seluruh rakyat Mesir dijadikan hamba oleh Yusuf.
And as for the people, he removed them city by city, from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22 Satu-satunya tanah yang tidak dibelinya ialah tanah para imam. Mereka tidak perlu menjual tanah mereka karena diberi tunjangan tetap oleh raja untuk keperluan hidup mereka.
Only the land of the priests bought he not, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore they sold not their land.
23 Yusuf berkata kepada rakyat itu, "Lihatlah, kamu dan tanahmu sudah kubeli untuk raja. Inilah benih yang dapat kamu tabur di ladangmu.
Then Joseph said unto the people: 'Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
24 Pada waktu panen, kamu harus memberikan seperlima bagian hasilnya kepada raja. Selebihnya boleh kamu pakai untuk benih dan untuk makanan bagimu dan bagi keluargamu."
And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.'
25 Jawab mereka, "Tuan telah menyelamatkan kami dan kami berterima kasih. Kami rela menjadi hamba raja."
And they said: 'Thou hast saved our lives. Let us find favour in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen.'
26 Kemudian Yusuf menjadikan hal itu undang-undang di negeri Mesir, yaitu bahwa seperlima dari hasil panen harus menjadi milik raja. Sampai sekarang undang-undang itu masih berlaku. Hanya tanah imam-imamlah yang tidak menjadi milik raja.
And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh's.
27 Demikianlah orang-orang Israel menetap di Mesir, di daerah Gosyen. Mereka menjadi kaya dan beranak cucu banyak di situ.
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 Yakub masih hidup tujuh belas tahun di Mesir sampai umurnya menjadi seratus empat puluh tujuh tahun.
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty and seven years.
29 Ketika sudah dekat saatnya akan meninggal, dipanggilnya Yusuf, anaknya itu, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Letakkanlah tanganmu di antara pangkal pahaku dan bersumpah bahwa engkau tidak akan menguburkan aku di Mesir ini.
And the time drew near that Israel must die; and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.
30 Aku mau dikuburkan di tempat para leluhurku; bawalah mayatku dari negeri ini dan kuburkan dalam makam mereka." Lalu jawab Yusuf, "Saya akan melakukan apa yang Ayah katakan itu."
But when I sleep with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place.' And he said: 'I will do as thou hast said.'
31 Kata Yakub, "Bersumpahlah bahwa engkau akan melakukannya." Yusuf bersumpah, dan Yakub mengucapkan syukur di tempat tidurnya.
And he said: 'Swear unto me.' And he swore unto him. And Israel bowed down upon the bed's head.
