اَلتَّكْوِينُ 47
| فَأَتَى يُوسُفُ وَأَخبَرَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَالَ: «أَبِي وَإِخْوَتِي وَغَنَمُهُمْ وَبَقَرُهُمْ وَكُلُّ مَا لَهُمْ جَاءُوا مِنْ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، وَهُوَذَا هُمْ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ». | ١ 1 |
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.
| وَأَخَذَ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ خَمْسَةَ رِجَالٍ وَأَوْقَفَهُمْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢ 2 |
And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «مَا صِنَاعَتُكُمْ؟» فَقَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «عَبِيدُكَ رُعَاةُ غَنَمٍ نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا جَمِيعًا». | ٣ 3 |
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are] shepherds, both we, [and] also our fathers.
| وَقَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «جِئْنَا لِنَتَغَرَّبَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، إِذْ لَيْسَ لِغَنَمِ عَبِيدِكَ مَرْعًى، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ شَدِيدٌ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَٱلْآنَ لِيَسْكُنْ عَبِيدُكَ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ». | ٤ 4 |
They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their 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.
| فَكَلَّمَ فِرْعَوْنُ يُوسُفَ قَائِلًا: «أَبُوكَ وَإِخْوَتُكَ جَاءُوا إِلَيْكَ. | ٥ 5 |
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
| أَرْضُ مِصْرَ قُدَّامَكَ. فِي أَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَسْكِنْ أَبَاكَ وَإِخْوَتَكَ، لِيَسْكُنُوا فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ. وَإِنْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ بَيْنَهُمْ ذَوُو قُدْرَةٍ، فَٱجْعَلْهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ مَوَاشٍ عَلَى ٱلَّتِي لِي». | ٦ 6 |
The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
| ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يُوسُفُ يَعْقُوبَ أَبَاهُ وَأَوْقَفَهُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ. وَبَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٧ 7 |
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ: «كَمْ هِيَ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاتِكَ؟» | ٨ 8 |
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old [art] thou?
| فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ: «أَيَّامُ سِنِي غُرْبَتِي مِئَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً. قَلِيلَةً وَ رَدِيَّةً كَانَتْ أَيَّامُ سِنِي حَيَاتِي، وَلَمْ تَبْلُغْ إِلَى أَيَّامِ سِنِي حَيَاةِ آبَائِي فِي أَيَّامِ غُرْبَتِهِمْ». | ٩ 9 |
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.
| وَبَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
| فَأَسْكَنَ يُوسُفُ أَبَاهُ وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُمْ مُلْكًا فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فِي أَفْضَلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فِي أَرْضِ رَعَمْسِيسَ كَمَا أَمَرَ فِرْعَوْنُ. | ١١ 11 |
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.
| وَعَالَ يُوسُفُ أَبَاهُ وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ بِطَعَامٍ عَلَى حَسَبِ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ. | ١٢ 12 |
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to [their] families.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ كَانَ شَدِيدًا جِدًّا. فَخَوَّرَتْ أَرْضُ مِصْرَ وَأَرْضُ كَنْعَانَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْجُوعِ. | ١٣ 13 |
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.
| فَجَمَعَ يُوسُفُ كُلَّ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلْمَوْجُودَةِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَفِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ بِٱلْقَمْحِ ٱلَّذِي ٱشْتَرُوا، وَجَاءَ يُوسُفُ بِٱلْفِضَّةِ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١٤ 14 |
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.
| فَلَمَّا فَرَغَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةُ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَمِنْ أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ أَتَى جَمِيعُ ٱلْمِصْرِيِّينَ إِلَى يُوسُفَ قَائِلِينَ: «أَعْطِنَا خُبْزًا، فَلِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ قُدَّامَكَ؟ لِأَنْ لَيْسَ فِضَّةٌ أَيْضًا». | ١٥ 15 |
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 thy presence? for the money faileth.
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ: «هَاتُوا مَوَاشِيَكُمْ فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ بِمَوَاشِيكُمْ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِضَّةٌ أَيْضًا». | ١٦ 16 |
And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
| فَجَاءُوا بِمَوَاشِيهِمْ إِلَى يُوسُفَ، فَأَعْطَاهُمْ يُوسُفُ خُبْزًا بِٱلْخَيْلِ وَبِمَوَاشِي ٱلْغَنَمِ وَٱلْبَقَرِ وَبِٱلْحَمِيرِ. فَقَاتَهُمْ بِٱلْخُبْزِ تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةَ بَدَلَ جَمِيعِ مَوَاشِيهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
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.
| وَلَمَّا تَمَّتْ تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةُ أَتَوْا إِلَيْهِ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْثَّانِيَةِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَا نُخْفِي عَنْ سَيِّدِي أَنَّهُ إِذْ قَدْ فَرَغَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةُ، وَمَوَاشِي ٱلْبَهَائِمِ عِنْدَ سَيِّدِي، لَمْ يَبْقَ قُدَّامَ سَيِّدِي إِلَا أَجْسَادُنَا وَأَرْضُنَا. | ١٨ 18 |
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 hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
| لِمَاذَا نَمُوتُ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْكَ نَحْنُ وَأَرْضُنَا جَمِيعًا؟ اِشْتَرِنَا وَأَرْضَنَا بِٱلْخُبْزِ، فَنَصِيرَ نَحْنُ وَأَرْضُنَا عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَأَعْطِ بِذَارًا لِنَحْيَا وَلَا نَمُوتَ وَلَا تَصِيرَ أَرْضُنَا قَفْرًا». | ١٩ 19 |
Wherefore shall we die before thine 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.
| فَٱشْتَرَى يُوسُفُ كُلَّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، إِذْ بَاعَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ حَقْلَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْجُوعَ ٱشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ. فَصَارَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
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.
| وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَنَقَلَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمُدُنِ مِنْ أَقْصَى حَدِّ مِصْرَ إِلَى أَقْصَاهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.
| إِلَا إِنَّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ لَمْ يَشْتَرِهَا، إِذْ كَانَتْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ فَرِيضَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ فِرْعَوْنَ، فَأَكَلُوا فَرِيضَتَهُمُ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ، لِذَلِكَ لَمْ يَبِيعُوا أَرْضَهُمْ. | ٢٢ 22 |
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.
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِلشَّعْبِ: «إِنِّي قَدِ ٱشْتَرَيْتُكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَأَرْضَكُمْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. هُوَذَا لَكُمْ بِذَارٌ فَتَزْرَعُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
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.
| وَيَكُونُ عِنْدَ ٱلْغَلَّةِ أَنَّكُمْ تُعْطُونَ خُمْسًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ ٱلْأَجْزَاءُ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ بِذَارًا لِلْحَقْلِ، وَطَعَامًا لَكُمْ وَلِمَنْ فِي بْيُوتِكُمْ، وَطَعَامًا لِأَوْلَادِكُمْ». | ٢٤ 24 |
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye 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.
| فَقَالُوا: «أَحْيَيْتَنَا. لَيْتَنَا نَجِدُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْ سَيِّدِي فَنَكُونَ عَبِيدًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ». | ٢٥ 25 |
And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
| فَجَعَلَهَا يُوسُفُ فَرْضًا عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ: لِفِرْعَوْنَ ٱلْخُمْسُ. إِلَا إِنَّ أَرْضَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَحْدَهُمْ لَمْ تَصِرْ لِفِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
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.
| وَسَكَنَ إِسْرَائِيلُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ، وَتَمَلَّكُوا فِيهَا وَأَثْمَرُوا وَكَثُرُوا جِدًّا. | ٢٧ 27 |
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
| وَعَاشَ يَعْقُوبُ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ سَبْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً. فَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ يَعْقُوبَ، سِنُو حَيَاتِهِ مِئَةً وَسَبْعًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
| وَلَمَّا قَرُبَتْ أَيَّامُ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ دَعَا ٱبْنَهُ يُوسُفَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ تَحْتَ فَخْذِي وَٱصْنَعْ مَعِي مَعْرُوفًا وَأَمَانَةً: لَا تَدْفِنِّي فِي مِصْرَ، | ٢٩ 29 |
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 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:
| بَلْ أَضْطَجِعُ مَعَ آبَائِي، فَتَحْمِلُنِي مِنْ مِصْرَ وَتَدْفِنُنِي فِي مَقْبَرَتِهِمْ». فَقَالَ: «أَنَا أَفْعَلُ بِحَسَبِ قَوْلِكَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
| فَقَالَ: «ٱحْلِفْ لِي». فَحَلَفَ لَهُ. فَسَجَدَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ. | ٣١ 31 |
And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
