1 Mosebog 47
1 Og Josef kom og forkyndte Farao det og sagde: Min Fader og mine Brødre og deres Faar og deres Øksne og alt det, de have, ere komne fra Kanaans Land; og se, de ere i Gosen Land.
Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.
2 Og af samtlige sine Brødre tog han fem Mænd og stillede dem for Farao.
And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.
3 Da sagde Farao til hans Brødre: Hvad er eders Haandtering? og de sagde til Farao: Dine Tjenere ere Faarehyrder, baade vi og vore Fædre.
And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.
4 Og de sagde til Farao: Vi ere komne at være fremmede i Landet; thi der er ingen Føde til det Kvæg, som dine Tjenere have; thi Hungeren er svar i Kanaans Land; og nu, kære, lad dine Tjenere bo i Gosen Land.
And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.
5 Og Farao talede til Josef og sagde: Din Fader og dine Brødre ere komne til dig.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.
6 Ægyptens Land ligger for dig, lad din Fader og dine Brødre bo paa det bedste Sted i Landet, lad dem bo i Gosen Land, og dersom du ved, at der er duelige Mænd iblandt dem, da sæt dem til Opsynsmænd over Kvæget, over det, som jeg har.
And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.
7 Og Josef førte Jakob sin Fader ind og stillede ham for Faraos Ansigt, og Jakob velsignede Farao.
Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.
8 Og Farao sagde til Jakob: Hvor gammel er du?
And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?
9 Og Jakob sagde til Farao: Min Udlændigheds Aars Dage ere hundrede og tredive Aar; faa og onde have mit Livs Aars Dage været og have ikke naaet til mine Fædres Livs Aars Dage i deres Udlændigheds Dage.
And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.
10 Og Jakob velsignede Farao og gik ud fra Farao.
And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.
11 Men Josef lod sin Fader og sine Brødre bo og gav dem Ejendom i Ægyptens Land, paa det bedste Sted i Landet, i det Land Raamses, som Farao havde befalet.
And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.
12 Og Josef underholdt sin Fader og sine Brødre og alt sin Faders Hus med Brød til de smaa Børns Mund.
And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.
13 Og der var ikke Brød i alt Landet; thi Hungeren var saare svar, saa at Ægyptens Land og Kanaans Land forsmægtede for Hungerens Skyld.
Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.
14 Og Josef samlede alle Pengene, som fandtes i Ægyptens Land og i Kanaans Land, for det Korn, som de købte, og Josef lod Pengene komme i Faraos Hus.
And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.
15 Og da det var forbi med Pengene i Ægyptens Land og i Kanaans Land, da kom alle Ægypterne til Josef og sagde: Fly os Brød, og hvi skulle vi dø for dig? thi Pengene ere borte.
And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.
16 Og Josef sagde: Flyr hid eders Kvæg, saa vil jeg give eder Brød for eders Kvæg, dersom Pengene ere borte.
And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.
17 Saa førte de deres Kvæg til Josef, og Josef gav dem Brød for Hestene og for Kvæget, som de ejede, og for Øksnene, som de ejede, og for Asenerne; saa hjalp han dem med Brød for alt deres Kvæg i det samme Aar.
So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.
18 Der det samme Aar havde Ende, da kom de i det andet Aar til ham og sagde til ham: Vi ville ikke dølge for min Herre, at ikke alene Pengene ere borte, men og Kvæget, som vi ejede, er kommet til min Herre; vi have intet tilbage til min Herre, uden vore Legemer og vor Jord.
And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;
19 Hvi skulle vi dø for dine Øjne, baade vi og tilmed vor Jord blive øde? køb os og vor Jord for Brød; og vi med vor Jord ville være Faraos Tjenere, og giv os Sæd, at vi maa leve og ikke dø, og Jorden ikke blive øde.
Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.
20 Og Josef købte af Ægyptens Jord til Farao; thi Ægypterne solgte hver sin Ager, fordi Hungeren var svar over dem; og Landet blev Faraos.
So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Og han lod Folket flytte om i Stæderne, fra den ene Ende af Ægyptens Land til den anden.
And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.
22 Alene Præsternes Jord købte han ikke; thi Præsterne havde deres beskikkede Del af Farao; og de aade deres beskikkede Del, som Farao havde givet dem, derfor solgte de ikke deres Jord.
Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.
23 Da sagde Josef til Folket: Se, jeg har i Dag købt eder og eders Jord til Farao, se, der have I Sæd, og I skulle besaa Jorden.
Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.
24 Og med Afgrøden skal det være saaledes, at I skulle give Farao den femte Part, og de fire Parter skulle I beholde til Sæd til Ageren og til Spise for eder og for dem, som ere i eders Huse, og til eders smaa Børn at æde.
And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.
25 Og de sagde: Du har holdt os ved Live, lad os finde Naade for min Herres Øjne, og vi ville være Faraos Trælle.
And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 Saa gjorde Josef det til en Skik indtil denne Dag over Ægyptens Jord, at Farao skal have den femte Part; ikkun Præsternes Jord, den alene, blev ikke Faraos.
Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.
27 Og Israel boede i Ægyptens Land, i Gosen Land; og de fik Ejendom der og vare frugtbare og bleve saare mangfoldige.
And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.
28 Og Jakob levede i Ægyptens Land sytten Aar; og Jakobs Dage, hans Livs Aar, vare hundrede og syv og fyrretyve Aar.
And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.
29 Og Israels Dage kom nær, at han skulde dø, og han kaldte ad sin Søn Josef og sagde til ham: Kære, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dig, da læg, kære, din Haand under min Lænd, og bevis den Miskundhed og Troskab mod mig, at du, kære, ikke begraver mig i Ægypten.
And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;
30 Og jeg vil ligge hos mine Fædre, og du skal føre mig af Ægypten og begrave mig i deres Grav; og han sagde: Jeg vil gøre, som du har sagt.
But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.
31 Men han sagde: Sværg mig; og han svor ham; og Israel bøjede sig over Hovedgærdet i Sengen.
And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
