1 Mose 47
1 Yakob mma no bɛduruu Misraim asase so no, Yosef kɔka kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Mʼagya ne me nuanom no de wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie ne wɔn agyapadeɛ nyinaa firi Kanaan asase so aba, na wɔwɔ Gosen asase so”.
Therfor Joseph entride, and telde to Farao, and seide, My fadir and brethren, the scheep and grete beestis of hem, and alle thingis whiche thei welden, camen fro the lond of Canaan; and lo! thei stonden in the lond of Gessen.
2 Yosef yii ne nuammarima no mu baanum de wɔn kɔkyeaa Farao.
And he ordeynede fyue, the laste men of hise britheren, bifore the kyng,
3 Farao bisaa anuanom no sɛ, “Adwuma bɛn na moyɛ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Wo nkoa yɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ, sɛdeɛ na yɛn agyanom nso yɛ nnwanhwɛfoɔ no.”
whiche he axide, What werk han ye? Thei answeriden, We thi seruauntis ben kepers of scheep, bothe we and oure faderis;
4 Anuanom no toaa so sɛ, “Yɛaba ha sɛ amamfrafoɔ a yɛrebɛtena ha kakra, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛkɔm no ano yɛ den yie wɔ Kanaan asase so hɔ, na wo nkoa nnwan nnya aduane nni. Enti, yɛresrɛ wo kwan na yɛatena Gosen asase so ha.”
we camen in to thi lond to be pilgrymys, for noo gras is to the flockis of thi seruauntis; hungur wexith greuouse in the lond of Canaan, and we axen that thou comaunde vs thi seruauntis to be in the lond of Gessen.
5 Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Wʼagya ne wo nuanom aba wo nkyɛn.
And so the kyng seide to Joseph, Thi fadir and thi britheren camen to thee;
6 Misraim asase nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Ma wʼagya ne wo nuammarima baabi pa na wɔntena. Ma wɔntena Gosen asase so. Sɛ wonim wɔn mu bi a wɔwɔ mmoayɛn ho nimdeɛ a, ma wɔnhwɛ me nnwan so mma me.”
the lond of Egipt is in thi siyt, make thou hem to dwelle in the beste place, and yyue thou to hem the lond of Gessen; that if thou woost that witti men ben in hem, ordeyne thou hem maystris of my beestis.
7 Afei, Yosef kɔfaa nʼagya Yakob de no bɛkyiaa Farao maa Yakob hyiraa no.
After these thingis Joseph brouyte in his fader to the king, and settide him bifor the king, which blesside the king;
8 Farao bisaa Yakob sɛ, “Woadi mfeɛ ahe?”
and he was axid of the king, Hou many ben the daies of the yeeris of thi lijf?
9 Yakob buaa Farao sɛ, “Madi mfeɛ ɔha ne aduasa a ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ wɔ mu. Mennuru mʼagyanom nkwanna a wɔde tenaa asase so no ho hwee.”
And he answeride, The daies of pilgrymage of my lijf, ben feewe and yuele, of an hundrid and thretti yeer, and tho `camen not til to the daies of my fadris, in whiche thei weren pilgryms.
10 Na Yakob hyiraa Farao, na ɔfirii nʼanim kɔeɛ.
And whanne he hadde blessid the kyng, he yede out.
11 Enti, Yosef bɔɔ nʼagya ne ne nuanom no atenaseɛ wɔ Misraim asase so. Ɔmaa wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ asase no fa baabi a ɛyɛ pa ara wɔ Rameses mansini mu, sɛdeɛ Farao hyɛeɛ no.
Forsothe Joseph yaf to hise fadir and britheren possessioun in Egipt, in Ramasses, the beste soile of erthe, as Farao comaundide;
12 Yosef maa nʼagya ne ne nuanom no aduane sɛdeɛ wɔn mma dodoɔ te.
and he fedde hem, and al the hows of his fadir, and yaf metis to alle.
13 Na aduane nni hɔ baabiara, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛkɔm a aba no ano ayɛ den yie. Saa ɛkɔm yi kaa Misraim ne Kanaan asase nyinaa maa emu nnipa ne mfudeɛ twintwameeɛ.
For breed failide in al the world, and hungur oppresside the lond, moost of Egipt and of Canaan;
14 Yosef prapraa Misraim ne Kanaan asase so sika nyinaa a ɔnya firii aduanetɔn no mu no baa Farao ahemfie.
of whiche londis he gaderide al the money for the sillyng of wheete, and brouyte it in to the `tresorie of the kyng.
15 Ɛberɛ a nnipa a wɔwɔ Misraim ne Kanaan asase so ho sika nyinaa saeɛ no, Misraim nnipa nyinaa baa Yosef nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛn ho sika nyinaa asa, enti ma yɛn aduane nni! Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛwuwu?”
And whanne prijs failide to the bieris, al Egipt cam to Joseph, and seide, Yyue thou `looues to vs; whi shulen we die bifore thee, while monei failith?
16 Yosef buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ mo sika asa deɛ a, momfa mo nnwan ne mo anantwie mmra mmɛgye aduane.”
To whiche he answeride, Brynge ye youre beestis, and Y schal yyue to you metis for tho, if ye han not prijs.
17 Enti, wɔde wɔn mmoa no brɛɛ Yosef. Mmoa a wɔde wɔn bɛsesaa aduane no yɛ apɔnkɔ, nnwan, mpɔnkye, anantwie ne mfunumu. Saa afe no mu no, wɔde wɔn mmoa nyinaa bɛsesaa aduane.
And whanne thei hadden brouyt tho, he yaf to hem metis for horsis, and scheep, and oxun, and assis; and he susteynede hem in that yeer for the chaungyng of beestis.
18 Afe akyiri no, Misraimfoɔ no nyinaa baa Yosef nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Yɛrentumi mfa biribiara nhinta yɛn wura. Yɛn ho sika nyinaa asa, na yɛn anantwie nso yɛ wo dea. Biribiara bio nni hɔ a yɛbɛtumi de abrɛ wo, yɛn wura, sɛ yɛn nnipadua ne yɛn nsase nko.
And thei camen in the secunde yeer, and seiden to hym, We helen not fro oure lord, that the while monei failith, also beestis failiden togidere, nether it is hid fro thee, that with out bodies and lond we han no thing;
19 Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhwere yɛn nkwa ne yɛn nsase wɔ wʼanim! Afei, ma yɛmfa yɛn nnipadua ne yɛn nsase nyinaa mmɛsesa aduane. Yɛde yɛn ho ne yɛn nsase nyinaa bɛkɔ nkoasom mu. Ma yɛn aburoo, na ɛkɔm ankum yɛn, amma asase no nso anna mpan.”
whi therfor schulen we die, while thou seest? bothe we and oure lond schulen be thine, bie thou vs in to the kyngis seruage, and yyue thou seedis, lest the while the tiliere perischith, the lond be turned in to wildirnesse.
20 Enti, Yosef tɔɔ Misraim nsase nyinaa maa Farao. Esiane ɛkɔm no ano den enti, Misraimfoɔ no tɔn wɔn nsase no nyinaa. Ɛyɛɛ saa maa nsase no nyinaa bɛdii Farao nsam.
Therfor Joseph bouyte al the lond of Egipt, while all men seelden her possessiouns, for the greetnesse of hungur;
21 Ɛfiri Misraim tire kɔsi tire, Yosef de mu nnipa nyinaa bɛyɛɛ ne nkoa.
and he made it and alle puplis therof suget to Farao, fro the laste termes of Egipt til to the laste endis therof,
22 Asɔfoɔ nko ara nsase na wantɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, asɔfoɔ no deɛ, na Farao atwa anoduane bi de ama wɔn. Ne saa enti na wɔn deɛ, wɔantɔn wɔn nsase no.
outakun the lond of preestis, that was youun of the kyng to hem, to whiche preestis also metis weren youun of the comun bernys, and therfor thei weren not compellid to sille her possessiouns.
23 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Afei a matɔ mo ne nsase de ama Farao yi, mo nso, monnye aburoo nkɔdua.
Therfor Joseph seide to the puplis, Lo! as ye seen, Farao weldith bothe you and youre lond; take ye seedis, and `sowe ye feeldis,
24 Na sɛ aburoo no yɛ yie, na motwa a, momfa nkyɛmu enum mu baako mmrɛ Farao. Na nkyɛmu enum mu ɛnan a ɛbɛka no, mo ne mo fiefoɔ ne mo mma nni bi, na monnya bi nso a mobɛdua.”
that ye moun haue fruytis; ye schulen yyue the fifthe part to the kyng; Y suffre to you the foure residue partis in to seed and in to meetis, to you, and to youre fre children.
25 Wɔkaa sɛ, “Anokwa, woagye yɛn nkwa. Ka kyerɛ yɛn wura Farao sɛ, ɔnnye yɛn ntom, na yɛnyɛ nkoa.”
Whiche answeriden, Oure helthe is in thin hond; oneli oure God biholde vs, and we schulen ioifuli serue the kyng.
26 Ɛnam saa asɛm yi so maa mmara a Yosef hyɛeɛ sɛ, wɔmfa asase no so nnɔbaeɛ nyinaa mu nkyɛmu enum mu baako mma Farao no da so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ. Asɔfoɔ no nsase nko ara na ankɔdi Farao nsam.
For that tyme til in to present dai, in al the lond of Egipt, the fyuethe part is paied to the kyngis, and it is maad as in to a lawe, with out the lond of preestis, that was fre fro this condicioun.
27 Israelfoɔ no bɔɔ atenaseɛ wɔ Gosen mansini a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so no so. Wɔnyaa agyapadeɛ wɔ hɔ, na wɔn ase nso dɔree yie.
Therfor Israel dwellide in Egipt, that is, in the lond of Jessen, and weldide it; and he was encreessid and multiplied ful mych.
28 Yakob tenaa Misraim mfeɛ dunson. Ɔdii mfirinhyia ɔha ne aduanan nson ansa na ɔrewu.
And he lyuede therynne sixtene yeer; and alle the daies of his lijf weren maad of an hundrid and seuene and fourti yeer.
29 Ɛduruu sɛ Yakob rebɛwuo no, ɔfrɛɛ ne ba Yosef, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me ba, sɛ wodɔ me deɛ a, ka ntam di nse sɛ, wobɛyɛ me adɔeɛ, adi me nokorɛ. Sɛ mewu a, nsie me wɔ Misraim ha.
And whanne he seiy the dai of deeth nyye, he clepide his sone Joseph, and seide to hym, If Y haue founde grace in thi siyt; putte thin hond vndur myn hipe, and thou schal do merci and treuthe to me, that thou birie not me in Egipt;
30 Sɛ mewu a, momfa me mfiri Misraim ha, nkɔsie me wɔ baabi a wɔsiee me mpanimfoɔ no.” Yosef hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ, “Mɛdi asɛm a woaka no so.”
but `Y schal slepe with my fadris, and take thou awey me fro this lond, and birie in the sepulcre of my grettere. To whom Joseph answeride, Y schal do that that thou comaundist.
31 Yakob kaa bio sɛ, “Ka ntam kyerɛ me.” Yosef kaa ntam no, na Israel nso butuu ne poma so sɔree Onyankopɔn.
And Israel seide, Therfor swere thou to me; and whanne Joseph swoor, Israel turnede to the heed of the bed, and worschipide God.
