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, have come from 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 to Pharaoh.
3 Farao nopenjo owete Josef-go niya, “Utiyo angʼo?” Negidwoko Farao niya, “Jotichgi gin jokwath.”
And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What [is] your occupation? And they said to 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 to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land: for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine [is] severe 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 spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren have come to 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 to 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 to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage [are] a hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, nor have they attained to 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 distressing, 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 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 to 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 hath failed.
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 to 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 to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not aught 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.”
Why shall we die before thy eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to 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] by Pharaoh, and ate 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 to 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] to 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 to 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 in it 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 a hundred and forty 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 to 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 burying-place. 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 to me: and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
