1 Amaiba: le, Yousefe da yolalali biyale gala amo Felouma oule asi. E da Felouma amane sia: i, “Na ada amola nolalali da Ga: ina: ne soge fisili guiguda: misi. Ilia lai gebo amola gagui liligi huluane oule misi. Ilia da wali Gousiene sogega esala.”
Joseph went to report to Pharaoh and told him, “My father and brothers, along with their flocks and herds and all their possessions, have arrived from the land of Canaan and now they're here in Goshen.”
2 Amalalu, e da yolalali ili Felouma gousa: ma: ne oule misi.
Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
3 Felou da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da adi hawa: hamosala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da ninia aowalali defele, lai gebo fi ouligisu dunu esala.
Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
4 Ninia soge Ga: ina: ne amoga ha: i bagade ganebeba: le, ninia lai gebo da gisi hamedafa. Amaiba: le, ninia da amo soge guiguda: fimusa: misi. Ninia da Gousiene soge amo ganodini fimusa: , nini da dima ha: giwane edegesa.”
“We have come to live in Egypt because there's no grass left in Canaan for our flocks to eat,” they explained. “The famine is really bad in Canaan. So we would like to please ask permission to live in Goshen.”
5 Felou da Yousefema amane sia: i, “Dia eda amola diolalali ili da doaga: beba: le,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
6 Idibidi soge huluane da ilia soge. Gousiene soge da Idibidi soge bisili noga: i gala. Ilia da amogai fimu da defea. Amola ilia fi amo ganodini lai gebo ouligisu dunu ida: iwane esalea, defea, amo dunu da na lai gebo ouligima: ne sia: ma.”
you can choose wherever you like in Egypt, the best place, for them to live. Let them live in Goshen. If you know any of them who are good at what they do, put them in charge of my livestock as well.”
7 Amalalu, Yousefe da ea ada Ya: igobe amo Felouma gousa: musa: oule misi. Ya: igobe da Felouma amane sia: i, “Gode da di hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea.”
Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
8 Felou da Ya: igobema amane sia: i, “Dia lalelegele, ode habodayane esalabela: ?”
Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
9 Ya: igobe da bu adole i, “Na da wali ode 130 amoga udigili lalu. Na aowalali da ode bagohame hahawane lalu. Be na esalebe ode da bagahame, amola se nabasu galu.”
“I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
10 Ya: igobe da Felouma Gode e hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne amola “asigibio”, sia: nanu, yolesili asi.
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
11 Amalalu, Yousefe da fidibiba: le, ea ada amo yolalali ilia da Idibidi ganodini hahawane fi. Ilia da Felou ea sia: defele, moilai La: mesisi amo gadenene fi galu.
So Joseph arranged for his father and brothers to live in Egypt and gave them land in the best part near Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
12 Yousefe da ea ada amola yolalali ilima amola ea ada fi huluane amola mano fa: nodafa lalelegei, ilima ha: i manu i. Ha: Bagade
He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
13 Soge huluane amo ganodini da ha: bagade ba: i. Ha: i manu hamedafa ba: i. Idibidi dunu amola Ga: ina: ne dunu huluane da ha: iba: le, gasa hame ba: i.
No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
14 Ilia da gagoma amola bali amo muniga lai. Amo muni Yousefe da Felou ea diasuga gaguli asi.
By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
15 Muni huluane Idibidi amola Ga: ina: ne amo ganodini ebelei ba: loba, Idibidi dunu da Yousefema misini, amane sia: i, “Ninima ha: i manu ima! Nini bogogia: sa: besa: le fidima! Ninia muni da ebelei dagoi!”
Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
16 Yousefe da ilima bu adole i, “Dilia lai gebo oule misa. Dilia muni ebeleiba: le, na da dilia lai gebo bidi lale, ha: i manu amoga dabemu.”
“Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
17 Amaiba: le, ilia da ilia lai gebo amo Yousefema oule misi amola e da ilia hosi, sibi, goudi, bulamagau, dougi, amo lale, ilima ha: i manu dabe i.
So they brought Joseph their livestock, and he provided them with grain in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. He gave them grain in return for their livestock during that year.
18 Amo ode da gidigili, eno ba: loba, ilia da Yousefema misini amane sia: i “Ninia muni da ebelei dagoi amola ninia lai gebo huluane di da lai dagoi. Amo ninia da dima hame wamolegemu. Wali dima imunu liligi da hame. Ninia da: i hodo amola ninia soge fawane diala.
But when that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, “My lord, we can't hide from you the fact that our money is gone and that you now own our livestock. All we have left to give you are our bodies and our land.
19 Nini bogogia: sa: besa: le, nini fidima. Ninia soge da ha: i manu mae bugili, udigili dialumu da defea hame. Ninia da: i hodo amola ninia soge, bidi lama. Ninia da Felou ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu amola e da ninia soge gagumu. Nini mae bogoma: ne ha: i manu ninima ima. Amola ninia sogega bu sagama: ne, hawa: bugima: ne ninima ima.”
Do you want us to die right in front of you? So buy us and our land in return for food. Then our land will belong to Pharaoh, and we'll be his slaves. Just give us grain so we can live and won't die, and so the land won't be abandoned.”
20 Yousefe da soge huluane Idibidi ganodini amo bidi lale, Felouma i. Ha: da gasa bagadeba: le Idibidi dunu huluanedafa da ilia soge gagumu hamedeiwane ba: i. Soge huluane da Felou ea soge fawane ba: i.
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Each and every Egyptian sold their fields, because the famine was hurting them so badly. The land ended up being owned by Pharaoh,
21 Amola Yousefe da Idibidi dunu huluanedafa, amo udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hamoi.
and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
22 Soge afae afae, e da hame bidi lai. Amo da gobele salasu dunu ilia soge. Felou da ili esaloma: ne, muni ilima i. Amaiba: le, ilia da ili soge hame bidi lai.
The only land he didn't buy belonged to the priests because they had a food allowance provided to them by Pharaoh, so they didn't have to sell their land.
23 Yousefe da dunu huluane ilima amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Na da Felouma ima: ne, dilia da: i hodo amola dilia soge bidi lai dagoi. Amo hawa: dilia sogega bu sagamusa: , amo lama.
Then Joseph told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the fields.
24 Be ha: i manu faisu eso amoga dilia gagoma amola bali biyale fifili, afadafa Felouma ima. Eno hame i diala amo dili hawa: bugimusa: amola dilia amola dilia sosogo fi, amo moma: ne lama.”
However, when it's harvested, you have to give one fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you can keep as seed for the fields and as food for you, your households, and your children.”
25 Ilia bu adole i, “Di da nini esalusu gaga: i dagoi. Di da nini noga: le fidi. Ninia Felou ea udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalumu da defea.”
“You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
26 Amaiba: le, Yousefe da sema hamoi, amane, ‘Idibidi soge ganodini, ha: i manu fai huluane ilia da biyale fifili, amo afadafa Felouma ima: ne sia: i. Amo sema da wali diala. Be Felou da gobele salasu dunu ilia soge fawane hame lalegagui.
So Joseph made it a law for Egypt which is still is in effect today that one fifth of all produce from the land belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests' land was exempt since it did not belong to Pharaoh.
27 Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi ganodini Gousiene sogega esalu, mano bagohame lai, amola bagade gagui dunu ba: i.
The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
28 Ya: igobe da Idibidi soge ganodini ode 17 esalu. E da ode 147 amoga doaga: i.
Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
29 Ea bogomu eso gadenei ba: loba, e da eagofe Yousefe amo misa: ne sia: ne, ema amane sia: i, “Dia lobo amo na masele hagudu ligisima. Nama dafawanedafa ilegele sia: ma, amo di da na da: i hodo Idibidi soge ganodini hame uli dogomu.
When the time came for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If you think well of me, place your hand under my thigh and promise to treat me with trustworthy love and faithfulness. Don't bury me here in Egypt.
30 Na da na aowalali amo ilia uli dogosu amo gadenene dialumu hanai galebe. Na da: i hodo di gaguli asili, ilia uli dogoi sogebi amoga na uli dogoma.” Yousefe da bu adole i, “Na da dia sia: i defele hamomu.”
When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
31 Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Gode ba: ma: ne, di da dia sia: i defele hamoma: ne dafawane ilegele sia: ma!” Yousefe da amo dafawane ilegele sia: i, amola Ya: igobe da ea dia heda: su da: iya nodoi.
“Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
