< 創世記 47 >

1 約瑟進去告訴法老說:「我的父親和我的弟兄帶着羊群牛群,並一切所有的,從迦南地來了,如今在歌珊地。」
Pea haʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻo fakahā kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ʻeku tamai mo hoku ngaahi kāinga mo ʻenau fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo ʻenau meʻa kotoa pē, mei he fonua ko Kēnani; pea vakai ʻoku nau ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”
2 約瑟從他弟兄中挑出五個人來,引他們去見法老。
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi tokoua, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, ʻo ne fakahā ʻakinautolu kia Felo.
3 法老問約瑟的弟兄說:「你們以何事為業?」他們對法老說:「你僕人是牧羊的,連我們的祖宗也是牧羊的。」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Ko e hā hoʻomou faiva?” Pea nau talaange kia Felo, “Ko e tauhi sipi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai foki.”
4 他們又對法老說:「迦南地的饑荒甚大,僕人的羊群沒有草吃,所以我們來到這地寄居。現在求你容僕人住在歌珊地。」
Pea naʻa nau pehē foki kia Felo, “Kuo mau haʻu ke mau ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ha meʻakai ki heʻemau fanga manu; he kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ko ia ʻoku mau kole ai tuku ke nofo ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”
5 法老對約瑟說:「你父親和你弟兄到你這裏來了,
Pea lea ʻa Felo kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu kiate koe ʻa hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi kāinga:
6 埃及地都在你面前,只管叫你父親和你弟兄住在國中最好的地;他們可以住在歌珊地。你若知道他們中間有甚麼能人,就派他們看管我的牲畜。」
‌ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite; ʻi he potu lelei ʻoe fonua, ke ke tuku ke nofo ai hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi tokoua: tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni: pea kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ha kau tangata poto ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke nau puleʻi ʻeku fanga manu.”
7 約瑟領他父親雅各進到法老面前,雅各就給法老祝福。
Pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai ko Sēkope, ʻo tuku ia ki he ʻao ʻo Felo; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo.
8 法老問雅各說:「你平生的年日是多少呢?」
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Felo, kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fiha ho taʻu?”
9 雅各對法老說:「我寄居在世的年日是一百三十歲,我平生的年日又少又苦,不及我列祖在世寄居的年日。」
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Felo, “Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe taʻu ʻo hoku fononga, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu: kuo siʻi mo kovi pe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻeku moʻui, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai aʻu ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo honau fononga.”
10 雅各又給法老祝福,就從法老面前出去了。
Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo, pea ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo.
11 約瑟遵着法老的命,把埃及國最好的地,就是蘭塞境內的地,給他父親和弟兄居住,作為產業。
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai mo hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he potu lelei ʻi he fonua ko Lamesisi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Felo.
12 約瑟用糧食奉養他父親和他弟兄,並他父親全家的眷屬,都是照各家的人口奉養他們。
Pea naʻe tauhi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai, mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo e kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ʻaki ʻae mā, ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi ʻapi.
13 饑荒甚大,全地都絕了糧,甚至埃及地和迦南地的人因那饑荒的緣故都餓昏了。
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha mā ʻi he fonua kotoa; he naʻe lahi ʻae honge, pea naʻe vaivai ʻae fonua kotoa ʻo ʻIsipite, mo Kēnani, koeʻuhi ko e honge.
14 約瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地所有的銀子,就是眾人糴糧的銀子,約瑟就把那銀子帶到法老的宮裏。
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, ko e totongi ʻoe koane naʻa nau fakatau; pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ki he fale ʻo Felo.
15 埃及地和迦南地的銀子都花盡了,埃及眾人都來見約瑟,說:「我們的銀子都用盡了,求你給我們糧食,我們為甚麼死在你面前呢?」
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, pea haʻu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē kia Siosefa ʻo nau pehē, “Tuku mai haʻamau mā; he ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao? He kuo ʻikai ha paʻanga.”
16 約瑟說:「若是銀子用盡了,可以把你們的牲畜給我,我就為你們的牲畜給你們糧食。」
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa, “Tuku mai hoʻomou fanga manu: pea te u ʻatu ʻae mā koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo kapau kuo ʻosi ʻae paʻanga.”
17 於是他們把牲畜趕到約瑟那裏,約瑟就拿糧食換了他們的牛、羊、驢、馬;那一年因換他們一切的牲畜,就用糧食養活他們。
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻenau fanga manu kia Siosefa; pea ʻatu ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻae mā, ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi mo e fanga sipi, mo ʻenau fanga manu lalahi mo e fanga ʻasi; pea ne fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fanga manu.
18 那一年過去,第二年他們又來見約瑟,說:「我們不瞞我主,我們的銀子都花盡了,牲畜也都歸了我主。我們在我主眼前,除了我們的身體和田地之外,一無所剩。
Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae taʻu ko ia, pea nau toe haʻu kia Siosefa ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻo nau pehē kiate ia, “E ʻikai te mau fakafufū mei homauʻeiki, kuo ʻosi ʻemau paʻanga; pea kuo maʻu foki ʻe homauʻeiki ʻemau fanga manu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha meʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, ka ko homau sino pe mo homau ngaahi fonua.
19 你何忍見我們人死地荒呢?求你用糧食買我們和我們的地,我們和我們的地就要給法老效力。又求你給我們種子,使我們得以存活,不致死亡,地土也不致荒涼。」
Ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao, ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua? Ke ke fakatau ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua ʻaki ʻae mā, pea te mau hoko, mo homau fonua, ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo; pea tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tenga, koeʻuhi ke mau moʻui, kae ʻikai mate, pea ke ʻoua naʻa lala ʻae fonua.”
20 於是,約瑟為法老買了埃及所有的地,埃及人因被饑荒所迫,各都賣了自己的田地;那地就都歸了法老。
Pea naʻe fakatau ʻe Siosefa ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsipite, kia Felo; he naʻe taki taha fakatau ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻa ʻene ngoue; he koeʻuhi naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he honge; pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Felo ʻae fonua kotoa pē.
21 至於百姓,約瑟叫他們,從埃及這邊直到埃及那邊,都各歸各城。
Pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha.
22 惟有祭司的地,約瑟沒有買,因為祭司有從法老所得的常俸。他們吃法老所給的常俸,所以他們不賣自己的地。
Ka ko e fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatau; he naʻe ʻatu ʻae ʻinasi ki he kau taulaʻeiki meia Felo, pea naʻa nau kai ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Felo kiate kinautolu; ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fakatau honau fonua.
23 約瑟對百姓說:「我今日為法老買了你們和你們的地,看哪,這裏有種子給你們,你們可以種地。
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki he kakai, “Vakai, kuo u fakatau ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni, mo homou fonua, maʻa Felo: vakai mai, ko e tenga eni kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou tūtuuʻi ʻaki ʻae fonua.
24 後來打糧食的時候,你們要把五分之一納給法老,四分可以歸你們做地裏的種子,也做你們和你們家口孩童的食物。」
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono tupu te mou ʻomi hono vahe nima kia Felo, ka ko e vahe ʻe fā ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia, ko e tenga ki hoʻomou ngoue, mo e meʻakai kiate kimoutolu, mo kinautolu ʻi homou kau nofoʻanga, mo e meʻakai ki hoʻomou fānau.”
25 他們說:「你救了我們的性命。但願我們在我主眼前蒙恩,我們就作法老的僕人。」
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo fakahaofi ʻemau moʻui; ʻofa ke mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, pea mau nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo.
26 於是約瑟為埃及地定下常例,直到今日:法老必得五分之一,惟獨祭司的地不歸法老。
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe Siosefa ko e fono ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻe Felo hono vahe nima; ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ki he fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe Felo.”
27 以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他們在那裏置了產業,並且生育甚多。
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi he fonua ko Koseni; pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fonua, pea naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito.
28 雅各住在埃及地十七年,雅各平生的年日是一百四十七歲。
Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Sēkope ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu; pea ko e taʻu kotoa pē ʻo Sēkope, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma fitu.
29 以色列的死期臨近了,他就叫了他兒子約瑟來,說:「我若在你眼前蒙恩,請你把手放在我大腿底下,用慈愛和誠實待我,請你不要將我葬在埃及。
Pea naʻe ofi ʻae ʻaho ke pekia ai ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ui ia ke haʻu hono foha ko Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke ʻai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga, mo ke fai angalelei mo moʻoni kiate au; ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke tanu au ʻi ʻIsipite.
30 我與我祖我父同睡的時候,你要將我帶出埃及,葬在他們所葬的地方。」約瑟說:「我必遵着你的命而行。」
Ka te u tokoto au mo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, pea te ke fata au mei ʻIsipite, ʻo tanu au ʻi honau tanuʻanga.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
31 雅各說:「你要向我起誓。」約瑟就向他起了誓,於是以色列在床頭上敬拜上帝。
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fuakava mai kiate au.” Pea ne fuakava kiate ia. Pea naʻe punou ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻuluʻi mohenga.
