Genesis 47
1 So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”
Tad Jāzeps nāca un pasludināja Faraonam un sacīja: mans tēvs un mani brāļi un viņu sīkie lopi un viņu vērši un viss, kas tiem pieder, ir atnākuši no Kanaāna zemes, un redzi, tie ir Gošenes zemē.
2 And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
Un viņš ņēma piecus no visiem saviem brāļiem, un tos veda Faraona priekšā.
3 “What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”
Un Faraons sacīja uz viņa brāļiem: kas ir jūsu darbs? Un tie sacīja uz Faraonu: tavi kalpi ir lopu gani, tā pat mēs kā mūsu tēvi. Un tie sacīja uz Faraonu:
4 Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen.”
Mēs esam nākuši šinī zemē piemist, jo ganības trūkst tiem sīkiem lopiem, kas taviem kalpiem pieder, jo bads ir grūts Kanaāna zemē, un nu vēli, lūdzams, lai tavi kalpi apmetās Gošenes zemē.
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
Tad Faraons runāja uz Jāzepu un sacīja: tavs tēvs un tavi brāļi pie tevis atnākuši.
6 the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
Ēģiptes zeme stāv tev atvērā; lai tavs tēvs un tavi brāļi dzīvo tai vislabākā zemes vietā, - lai tie mīt Gošenes zemē, un ja tu zini, ka starp tiem ir krietni vīri, tad iecel tos par manu lopu uzraugiem.
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Un Jāzeps atveda savu tēvu Jēkabu, un to stādīja Faraona priekšā, un Jēkabs svētīja Faraonu.
8 “How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.
Un Faraons sacīja uz Jēkabu: Cik gadu tavām dzīvības dienām?
9 “My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”
Tad Jēkabs sacīja uz Faraonu: manas svešniecības gadu dienas ir simts un trīsdesmit gadi; īsas un grūtas ir bijušas manas dzīvības gadu dienas un nepanāk manu tēvu gadus viņu svešniecības dienās.
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
Un Jēkabs svētīja Faraonu un izgāja no Faraona.
11 So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Un Jāzeps savam tēvam un saviem brāļiem iedeva mājas vietas, un tiem deva Ēģiptes zemē to labāko zemes vietu turēt, Raēmzes tiesā, tā kā Faraons bija pavēlējis.
12 Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
Un Jāzeps uzturēja savu tēvu un savus brāļus un visu sava tēva namu ar maizi, kā kuram bija bērnu.
13 There was no food, however, in all that region, because the famine was so severe; the lands of Egypt and Canaan had been exhausted by the famine.
Un pa visām zemēm nebija maizes; jo bads bija ļoti grūts, tā ka Ēģiptes zemē un Kanaāna zemē aiz bada nevarēja glābties.
14 Joseph collected all the money to be found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were buying, and he brought it into Pharaoh’s palace.
Un Jāzeps sakrāja visu naudu, kas atradās Ēģiptes zemē un Kanaāna zemē par to labību, ko tie pirka, un Jāzeps to naudu nesa Faraona namā.
15 When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our funds have run out!”
Kad nu tā nauda Ēģiptes zemē un Kanaāna zemē bija pagalam, tad visi ēģiptieši nāca pie Jāzepa un sacīja: dod mums maizes, kādēļ mums tavā priekšā būs mirt, kad naudas vairs nav?
16 “Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.”
Tad Jāzeps sacīja: dodiet savus lopus; tad es jums došu par jūsu lopiem, kad naudas nav.
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. Throughout that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.
Tad tie veda savus lopus pie Jāzepa, un Jāzeps tiem deva maizes par zirgiem un par sīkiem lopiem un par vēršiem un par ēzeļiem, un viņš tos to gadu izmitināja ar maizi par visiem viņu lopiem.
18 When that year was over, they came to him the second year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord that our money is gone and all our livestock belongs to you. There is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.
Kad tas gads bija galā, tad tie otrā gadā pie viņa nāca un uz viņu sacīja: mēs neapslēpsim priekš sava kunga, ka nevien tā nauda ir beigta, bet arī tie lopi mūsu kungam ir kļuvuši un nekas nav atlicis priekš mūsu kunga, kā vien mūsu miesas un mūsu tīrumi.
19 Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Purchase us and our land in exchange for food. Then we, along with our land, will be slaves to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
Kādēļ mums būs bojā iet priekš tavām acīm, mums un mūsu tīrumiem? Pērc mūs un mūsu tīrumus par maizi, tad mēs ar savu tīrumu Faraonam būsim par kalpiem, un dodi sēklu, ka mēs dzīvojam un nemirstam, un mūsu zeme nepaliek tukša.
20 So Joseph acquired for Pharaoh all the land in Egypt; the Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields because the famine was so severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh’s,
Tad Jāzeps visus ēģiptiešu tīrumus pirka priekš Faraona, jo ēģiptieši pārdeva ikviens savu tīrumu, tāpēc ka bads tiem bija grūts.
21 and Joseph reduced the people to servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.
Tad tā zeme kļuva Faraona rokā, un viņš tos ļaudis pārcēla pilsētās, no viena Ēģiptes robežu gala līdz otram galam.
22 However, he did not acquire the priests’ portion of the land, for it had been given to them by Pharaoh. They ate the rations that Pharaoh supplied; so they did not sell their land.
Tikai priesteru tīrumus viņš nepirka, jo priesteriem bija sava daļa no Faraona, un tie ēda no savas daļas, ko Faraons tiem deva, tādēļ tie savu tīrumu nepārdeva.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sow in the land.
Tad Jāzeps sacīja uz tiem ļaudīm: redzi, es šodien jūs un jūsu tīrumus esmu pircis Faraonam, redzi, še jums sēkla, ka jūs tīrumus apsējat.
24 At harvest time, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and food for yourselves and your households and children.”
Bet ar augļiem tas tā būs, ka jūs piekto tiesu dodat Faraonam, un četras daļas jums piederēs, tīrumus apsēt un par pārtiku jums un tiem, kas jūsu namā, un par pārtiku jūsu bērniņiem.
25 “You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
Un tie sacīja: tu mūs esi uzturējis dzīvus; lai žēlastību atrodam sava kunga acīs, tad mēs būsim Faraona kalpi.
26 So Joseph established a law that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh, and it is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day. Only the priests’ land does not belong to Pharaoh.
Tad Jāzeps to iecēla par likumu pār ēģiptiešu tīrumiem līdz šai dienai, ka Faraonam tā piektā tiesa nāktos, - tikai priesteru zeme vien nekļuva Faraonam.
27 Now the Israelites settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and became fruitful and increased greatly in number.
Un Israēls mita Ēģiptē Gošenes zemē, un tur uzturējās un auga un vairojās ļoti.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.
Un Jēkabs dzīvoja Ēģiptes zemē septiņpadsmit gadus, un Jēkaba dienas bija simts četrdesmit un septiņi gadi.
29 When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise to show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
Kad nu Israēla laiks pienāca, ka tam bija mirt, tad viņš sauca savu dēlu Jāzepu un uz to sacīja: ja es tavās acīs esmu atradis žēlastību, tad liec jel lūdzams savu roku apakš manas ciskas un dari pie manis žēlastību un patiesību: neaproc jel mani Ēģiptes zemē;
30 but when I lie down with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me with them.” Joseph answered, “I will do as you have requested.”
Bet es gribu gulēt pie saviem tēviem; un tev būs mani izvest no Ēģiptes un mani aprakt viņu kapos, - un tas sacīja: es darīšu pēc tava vārda.
31 “Swear to me,” Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
Tad viņš sacīja: zvērē man. Un tas viņam zvērēja. Un Israēls pielūdza Dievu savas gultas galvgalā.
