Uumama 47

1 Yoosefis gara Faraʼoon dhaqee, “Abbaan kootii fi obboloonni koo bushaayee isaanii, loon isaaniitii fi waan qaban hunda fudhatanii biyya Kanaʼaan dhufanii kunoo biyya Gooshen jiru” jedhee itti hime.

Then Joseph came 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.

2 Innis obboloota isaa keessaa nama shan filatee Faraʼoonitti dhiʼeesse.

And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

3 Faraʼoonis, “Hojiin keessan maali?” jedhee obboloota Yoosef gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu garboonni kee akkuma abbootii keenyaa tiksoota” jedhanii deebisaniif.

And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.

4 Akkanas jedhaniin; “Sababii beelli biyya Kanaʼaanitti cimee bushaayeen garboota keetii waan dheedan dhabaniif nu yeroo gabaabaa as jiraachuu dhufne. Akka nu garboonni kee biyya Gooshen keessa jiraannuuf maaloo nuu eeyyami.”

They said moreover unto Pharaoh, In order 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 Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Abbaan keetii fi obboloonni kee siif dhufaniiru;

And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph, saying, Your father and your brethren are come unto you:

6 lafti Gibxi fuuluma kee dura jira; abbaa keetii fi obboloota kee iddoo lafa hundumaa caalu irra qubachiisi. Isaan biyya Gooshen keessa haa jiraatan. Ati yoo namoota isaan keessaa dandeettii qaban beekte loon koo irratti itti gaafatamtoota isaan godhi.”

The land of Egypt is before you; in the best of the land make your father and brethren 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 Ergasii Yoosef abbaa isaa Yaaqoobin fidee fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼeesse. Erga Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee booddee,

And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8 Faraʼoon, “Umuriin kee hammam?” jedhee isa gaafate.

And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old are you?

9 Yaaqoobis Faraʼooniin akkana jedhe; “Barri ani keessummummaan jiraadhe waggaa dhibbaa tokkoo fi soddoma. Baroonni koos muraasa; hamaadhas; innis bara abbootiin koo keessummummaan jiraatan sanaan wal qixxee miti.”

And Jacob said unto 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 unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

10 Kana booddee, Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee fuula isaa duraa gad baʼe.

And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

11 Yoosefis akkuma Faraʼoon isa ajajetti abbaa isaatii fi obboloota isaa Gibxi keessa qubachiise; lafa lafa hunda caalu, aanaa Raamsee handhuuraa godhee isaanii kenne.

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 Akkasumas Yoosef abbaa isaatiif, obboloota isaatii fi warra mana abbaa isaa jiran hundaaf akkuma baayʼina ijoollee isaaniitti midhaan kenne.

And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

13 Waan beelli akka malee cimeef biyyattii guutuu keessa wanni nyaatamu hin jiru ture; sababii beela sanaatiinis Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan akka malee miidhaman.

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 Yoosefis kaffaltii midhaan namoonni bitachaa turan sanaa maallaqa biyya Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan keessatti argamu hunda walitti qabee masaraa Faraʼoonitti galche.

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 Maallaqni warra Gibxii fi warra Kanaʼaan dhumnaan warri Gibxi hundi gara Yoosef dhufanii, “Midhaan nuu kenni. Nu maaliif fuula kee duratti duuna? Maallaqni keenya dhumeera” jedhan.

And when money failed 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 your presence? for the money fails.

16 Yoosef immoo, “Erga maallaqni keessan dhumee horii keessan fidaa; qooda horii keessanii ani midhaan isiniif nan kenna” jedhe.

And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

17 Isaanis horii isaanii Yoosefitti fidan; Yoosefis qooda fardeen isaanii, qooda bushaayee isaanii, qooda loowwan isaaniitii fi qooda harroota isaanii midhaan kenneef. Innis bara sana geeddaraa horii isaanii hundaa midhaan isaan soore.

And they brought their cattle unto 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 Waggaan sun dhumnaan jarri waggaa itti aanutti gara isaa dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Erga maallaqni keenya dhumee horiin keenya kan kee taʼee as, yaa gooftaa keenya akka dhagna keenyaa fi lafa keenya malee wanni tokko iyyuu nuuf hin hafin nu gooftaa keenya jalaa hin dhoksinu.

When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto 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 ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

19 Nu maaliif fuula kee duratti duuna? Nuu fi lafti keenyas maaliif badna? Nuu fi lafa keenya fudhadhuutii qooda isaa midhaan nuuf kenni. Nu lafa keenya wajjin Faraʼooniif ni garboomna. Akka nu duʼa jalaa baanee jiraannuuf, akka laftis duwwaa hin hafneef sanyii nuuf kenni.”

Wherefore 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 unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

20 Yoosefis lafa biyya Gibxi hundumaa Faraʼooniif bite. Warri Gibxi hundi waan beelli isaanitti cimeef lafa isaanii gurguran; laftis kan Faraʼoon taʼe;

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 Yoosefis daangaa biyya Gibxi tokko irraa hamma daangaa kaaniitti saba garbummaa jala galche.

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 Lafti inni hin bitin lafa lubootaa qofa ture; kunis sababii isaan Faraʼoon irraa qooda argatanii fi sababii qooda Faraʼoon isaaniif kennu sanaan jiraataniif. Kanaafuu isaan lafa isaanii hin gurgurre.

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: wherefore they sold not their lands.

23 Yoosefis saba sanaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani harʼa isinii fi lafa keessan Faraʼooniif biteera. Kunoo lafatti sanyii facaafadhaa.

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 all of you shall sow the land.

24 Yommuu midhaan galfamutti harka shan keessaa harka tokko Faraʼooniif ni kennitu. Harka afran hafe immoo sanyii facaafattan, nyaata ofii keessanii, nyaata warra mana keessan jiraataniitii fi nyaata ijoollee keessanii godhattu.”

And it shall come to pass in the increase, that all of you shall give the fifth part 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 Jarris, “Ati duʼa nu oolchiteerta; nu fuula gooftaa keenyaa duratti fudhatama haa argannuu malee Faraʼooniif garboota ni taana” jedhan.

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 Yoosefis akkasiin akka harka shan keessaa harki tokko kan Faraʼoon taʼuuf Gibxi keessatti seera lafaa dhaabe; seerri sun hamma harʼaatti illee ittiin hojjetamaa jira. Lafa lubootaa qofattu utuu kan Faraʼoon hin taʼin hafe.

And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.

27 Israaʼeloonnis Gibxi keessa kutaa biyya Gooshen keessa qubatan. Achittis qabeenya argatan; horaniis guddaa baayʼatan.

And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

28 Yaaqoob waggaa kudha torba biyya Gibxi keessa jiraate; barri jireenya isaas waggaa dhibba tokkoo afurtamii torba ture.

And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

29 Israaʼelis yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Yoosefin ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhe, mee harka kee gudeeda koo jala kaaʼiitii akka gaarummaa na argisiiftuu fi akka naaf amanamtu waadaa naaf seeni. Gibxitti na hin awwaalin;

And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto 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 yeroo ani abbootii koo wajjin boqodhutti biyya Gibxii na baasii iddoo isaan itti awwaalamanitti na awwaali.” Innis, “Akkuma ati jette nan godha” jedhe.

But I will lie with my fathers, and you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as you have said.

31 Israaʼelis, “Naa kakadhu” jedheen. Yoosefis ni kakateef. Israaʼel immoo mataa ulee isaatti irkatee sagade.

And he said, Swear unto me. And he swore unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
