Chakruok 47
1 Josef nodhi monyiso Farao niya, “Wuora kod owetene osebiro koa e piny Kanaan kod kwethgi kod dhogi kod gik moko duto ma gin-go kendo koro gidak e piny Goshen.”
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.
2 Josef nokawo owetene abich kendo okelo e nyim Farao.
And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
3 Farao nopenjo owete Josef-go niya, “Utiyo angʼo?” Negidwoko Farao niya, “Jotichgi gin jokwath.”
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.
4 Negimedo wachone niya, “Wasebiro mondo wadag e pinyni matin, nikech kech ger e piny Kanaan maonge kata mana lum ma jamb jotichni dikwae. Kuom mano, koro yie jotichgi odag e gwengʼ Goshen.”
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.
5 Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Wuonu kod oweteni osebiro iri,
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6 kendo piny Misri ni e lweti, ket wuonu kod oweteni odag kama berie moloyo. We gidag Goshen kendo ka ingʼeyo moko kuomgi man kod mich mar kwath ketgi mondo gibed jorit jamba.”
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.
7 Eka Josef nokelo Jakobo wuon mare kendo okete e nyim Farao. Ka Jakobo nosegwedho Farao,
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Farao nopenje niya, “In ja-higni adi?”
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
9 Kendo Jakobo nodwoko Farao niya, “Higni ma asewuothogo e piny gin higni mia achiel kod piero adek. Gisebedo manok kendo matek kendo ok ginyal romo gi higni mane wuora odak godo e piny.”
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.
10 Eka Jakobo nogwedho Farao kendo owuok modhi.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
11 Kuom mano Josef nomiyo wuon-gi kod owetene kuonde mabeyo e piny Misri e gwengʼ mar Rameses mana kaka Farao nochike.
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.
12 Bende Josef nomiyo wuon-gi kod owetene kod jood wuon-gi duto gi chiemo kaluwore gi kar romb nyithindgi.
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
13 Kata kamano, ne onge chiemo e piny duto nikech kech ne ger; piny Misri kaachiel gi piny Kanaan nobedo gi dhier malich.
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.
14 Josef nochoko pesa duto mane yudore e piny Misri kod piny Kanaan kuom cham mane gingʼiewo kuome kendo noterogi e od keno mar Farao.
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.
15 Kane pesa jo-Misri kod jo-Kanaan orumo, jo-Misri duto nobiro ir Josef kendo owachone niya, “Miwa chiemo, dangʼ watho e nyimi nangʼo to pesawa orumo?”
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.
16 Eka Josef nowachonegi niya, “Nikech pesau oserumo, keluru jambu mondo uwilgo cham mabiro miyou.”
And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
17 Kuom mano negikelo jambgi ne Josef kendo nomiyogi chiemo kar farese, gi rombe gi diek gi dhok kod punde. Kendo e higano, nopidhogi gi chiemo kar jambgi duto.
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.
18 Kane higano orumo, negidok ire e higa moluwo mano mi giwachone niya, “Ruoth ok wanyal wuondoreni nikech pesawa oserumo kendo jambwa bende osedoko magi, koro onge gima wanyalo miyi makmana ringrewa kod lopewa.
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:
19 Angʼo momiyo diwatho kendo lopewa bende kethore to ineno? Ngʼiewa-wa wabed wasumbinini kaachiel gi puothewa kuom chiemo mondo mi wan kaachiel gi puothewa wabed mag Farao. Miwa kodhi mipidho mondo kik watho kendo puothewa kik kethre.”
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.
20 Kuom mano Josef nongʼiewo lope duto mag Misri ne Farao. Jo-Misri noloko puothegi duto pesa nikech kech ne duongʼ ahinya. Piny Misri duto nobedo mar Farao,
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.
21 kendo Josef nodaro jo-Misri e miechgi koa koni nyaka komachielo.
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22 To kata kamano ne ok ongʼiewo puothe jodolo nikech negiyudo pokgi mapile pile koa kuom Farao kendo ne gin gi chiemo moromogi kuom pok mane Farao miyogi. Mano ema omiyo jodolo ne ok ouso puothegi.
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.
23 Josef nowacho ne jo-Misri-go niya, “Koro kaka asengʼiewou kawuononi ne Farao kaachiel gi puotheu, kodhi eri dhi ukom.
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.
24 To e ndalo mag keyo, nyaka umi Farao achiel kuom abich. To angʼwen ewi abich modongʼ unyalo kano kaka kodhi kendo kaka chiembu gi nyithindu kod joodu duto.”
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.
25 Negiwachone Josef niya, “Ruoth isekonyo ngimawa, omiyo ka ineno ni mano ber to wabiro bedo wasumb Farao.”
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.
26 Kuom mano Josef nokete kaka chik e piny Misri nyaka chil kawuono, ni achiel kuom abich mar cham nyaka bed mar Farao. Puothe jodolo kende ema ne ok Farao okawo.
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.
27 Jo-Israel nodak Misri e gwengʼ Goshen. Negiyudo mwandu mangʼeny kuno kendo ne ginyaa mi kwan-gi omedore ahinya.
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 Jakobo nodak Misri kuom higni apar gabiriyo kendo ndalo hike duto noromo higni mia achiel gi piero angʼwen gabiriyo.
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
29 Kane kinde mar tho Israel ochopo machiegni, noluongo Josef wuode kendo owachone niya, “Ka itimona ngʼwono, to yie iket lweti e kind ema kendo ikwongʼrina ni nikecha kendo ibedna ja-adiera. Kik iika e piny Misri
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:
30 to ka anindo maluwo kwerena, to gola Misri kendo idhi iyika kuma oikie kwerena.” Josef nodwoke ni, “Abiro timo kaka iwacho.”
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.
31 Nowacho ne Josef niya, “Kwongʼrina.” Eka Josef nokwongʼorene, kendo Israel nolemo koyiengore e ludhe mar wuoth.
And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
