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 came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, 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 he took some of his brothers, even five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 Raja bertanya kepada mereka, "Apa pekerjaanmu?" Mereka menjawab, "Kami ini gembala seperti leluhur kami.
And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we, and also 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."
They said morever to Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for your servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray you, let your 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 to Joseph, saying, Your father and your brothers are come to you:
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 you; in the best of the land make your father and brothers to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if you know any men of activity 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 to Jacob, How old are you?
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 to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 Setelah itu Yakub minta diri dan memberi berkat perpisahan.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before 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 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.
12 Dan Yusuf melengkapi persediaan makanan bagi ayahnya, saudara-saudaranya, dan seluruh sanak saudaranya, sampai kepada yang paling muda.
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
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 all the land of Canaan fainted 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 money failed 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 the money fails.
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 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 to Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread 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.
When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also has our herds of cattle; there is not anything 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!"
Why shall 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: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, 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.
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.
21 Seluruh rakyat Mesir dijadikan hamba oleh Yusuf.
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders 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 assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: why they sold not their lands.
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 to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: see, here is seed for you, and you 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 in the increase, that you shall give the fifth part to 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, You have saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
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 law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which 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 dwelled in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, 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 whole age of Jacob was an 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 to him, If now I have found grace in your sight, put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray you, 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 I will lie with my fathers, and you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burial plot. And he said, I will do as you have said.
31 Kata Yakub, "Bersumpahlah bahwa engkau akan melakukannya." Yusuf bersumpah, dan Yakub mengucapkan syukur di tempat tidurnya.
And he said, Swear to me. And he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
