Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan. And, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
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.
2 And he took five men from among his brothers, and presented them to Pharaoh.
Og af samtlige sine Brødre tog han fem Mænd og stillede dem for Farao.
3 And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
Da sagde Farao til hans Brødre: Hvad er eders Haandtering? og de sagde til Farao: Dine Tjenere ere Faarehyrder, baade vi og vore Fædre.
4 And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for thy servants' 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.
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.
5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brothers have come to thee.
Og Farao talede til Josef og sagde: Din Fader og dine Brødre ere komne til dig.
6 The land of Egypt is before thee. Make thy father and thy brothers to dwell in the best of the land; in the land of Goshen let them dwell. And if thou know any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
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.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Og Josef førte Jakob sin Fader ind og stillede ham for Faraos Ansigt, og Jakob velsignede Farao.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
Og Farao sagde til Jakob: Hvor gammel er du?
9 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, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
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.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Og Jakob velsignede Farao og gik ud fra Farao.
11 And Joseph placed his father and his brothers, 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.
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.
12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
Og Josef underholdt sin Fader og sine Brødre og alt sin Faders Hus med Brød til de smaa Børns Mund.
13 And there was no bread in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Og der var ikke Brød i alt Landet; thi Hungeren var saare svar, saa at Ægyptens Land og Kanaans Land forsmægtede for Hungerens Skyld.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
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.
15 And when the money was all spent 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 our money fails.
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.
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if money fails.
Og Josef sagde: Flyr hid eders Kvæg, saa vil jeg give eder Brød for eders Kvæg, dersom Pengene ere borte.
17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
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.
18 And 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 all spent, and the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
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.
19 Why should 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 to Pharaoh. And give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land not be desolate.
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.
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For the Egyptians, every man, sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. And the land became Pharaoh's.
Og Josef købte af Ægyptens Jord til Farao; thi Ægypterne solgte hver sin Ager, fordi Hungeren var svar over dem; og Landet blev Faraos.
21 And as for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
Og han lod Folket flytte om i Stæderne, fra den ene Ende af Ægyptens Land til den anden.
22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
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.
23 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.
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.
24 And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for food for your little ones.
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.
25 And they said, Thou have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Og de sagde: Du har holdt os ved Live, lad os finde Naade for min Herres Øjne, og vi ville være Faraos Trælle.
26 And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
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.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they got possessions in it, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Og Israel boede i Ægyptens Land, i Gosen Land; og de fik Ejendom der og vare frugtbare og bleve saare mangfoldige.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty-seven years.
Og Jakob levede i Ægyptens Land sytten Aar; og Jakobs Dage, hans Livs Aar, vare hundrede og syv og fyrretyve Aar.
29 And the time drew near that Israel must die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put thy hand, I pray thee, under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
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.
30 but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place. And he said, I will do as thou have said.
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.
31 And he said, Swear to me, and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
Men han sagde: Sværg mig; og han svor ham; og Israel bøjede sig over Hovedgærdet i Sengen.
