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.”
Aa le nimb’amy Parò ao t’Iosefe le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa totsak’ atoy boak’an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty raeko naho o rahalahikoo, rekets’ o mpirai-lia’eo naho o mpirai-tro’eo vaho o fanaña’ iareo iabio; oniño t’ie fa mitoetse an-tane Gosena añe.
2 And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
Nendese’e t’indaty lime amo rahalahi’eo vaho nampiatrefe’e amy Parò.
3 “What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”
Hoe t’i Parò amy rahalahi’e rey, Ino ty fitoloña’ areo? Le hoe iereo amy Parò, Mpiarak’ añondry o mpitoro’oo, zahay naho o roae’aio.
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.”
Hoe iereo amy Parò, Pok’etoan-jahay hañialo an-tane atoy; amy te tsy aman-tane hiandraza’e o mpirai-liam-pitoro’oo ami’ty hamafe’ i hasalikoañe an-tane Kanàney. Aa ehe, angao hitoetse an-tane Gosena añe o mpitoro’oo.
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
Le hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Fa totsak’ ama’o ty rae’o naho o rahalahi’oo.
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.”
Añatrefa’o ty tane Mitsraime, ampañialo an-tane kobokara iereo; angao hitoetse an-tane Gosena añe; aa naho rendre’o ze mahatafetetse am’iereo, le ampamandroñeñe iareo o harekoo.
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Nampihovae’ Iosefe amy zao ty rae’e vaho nampiatrefe’e amy Parò, le nitata i Parò t’Iakòbe.
8 “How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.
Hoe t’i Parò am’ Iakòbe, Fire ty taoñe niveloma’o?
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.”
Hoe t’Iakòbe amy Parò, Zato-tsi-telo-polo ty andro’ o taoñe nañialoako an-tane atoy; tsy ampeampe vaho nampifeak’ ahy ty andro’ o taoñe nivelomakoo fa tsy nahatàkatse ty andro’ o taon-droaeko amo andro nañialoa’ iareoo.
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
Tinata’ Iakòbe t’i Parò vaho nienga boak’ añatrefa’ i Parò.
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.
Aa le nampimoneña’ Iosefe t’i rae’e naho o rahalahi’eo vaho tinolo’e fanañañe an-tane Mitsraime ao, ty tane hoba amy taney, an-tane Ramsese ao ty amy saontsi’ i Paròy.
12 Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
Le nifahana’ Iosefe ty rae’e naho o rahalahi’eo, naho ty añ’anjomban-drae’e iaby ami’ty mahakama ho am-bava’ o keleia’eo.
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.
Ie amy zay tsy ama’ mahakama i tane iabiy, amy te nimafe i san-kerey. Nikantañe ty an-tane Mitsraime ao naho an tane’ Kanàne añe ty amy hasalikoañey.
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.
Natonto’ Iosefe ze hene drala nioniñe an-tane Mitsraime ao naho an-tane Kanàne ao, ampitsalohañe ty mahakama nikaloa’ iareo vaho nasese’ Iosefe añ’anjomba’ i Parò ao o dralao.
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!”
Ie nikapaike ze hene drala an-tane Mitsraime naho an-tane Kanàne añe, le nivotrak’ am’ Iosefe o hene nte-Mitsraimeo nanao ty hoe, Añomezo mahakama! Hatao akore ty hivetraha’ay añatrefa’o? Fa kòake o dralao.
16 “Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.”
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iosefe, Meo ahiko ty hare’ areo, le ho tolorako mahakama ampitsalohañe hare kanao kapai-drala.
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.
Aa le nendese’ iareo am’ Iosefe ty hare’ iareo vaho tinolo’ Iosefe mahakama ampikaloañe soavala naho o añondri’ iareo naho o añombe’ iareo naho o birikeo, le finaha’e mahakama amy taoñey o hare’ iareoo.
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.
Ie nimodo i taoñey le niheo ama’e mb’eo amy taoñe nanonjohiy iereo, nanao ty hoe, Tsy hai’ay aetak’ amy talè’aiy te fa kapioke o drala’aio naho fa amy talè’ay ze troke añombe. Le tsy eo ty añatrefam-pihaino’ o talè’aio naho tsy o sandri’aio naho o tane’aio.
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.”
Inoñe ty hikoromaha’ay naho o tane’aio añatrefam-pihaino’o? Vilio zahay naho o tane’aio hatakalo i mahakamay. Ho ondevo’ i Parò zahay naho o tane’ay iabio; fe meo tabiry tsy hivetraha’ay vaho te tsy hangoakoake i taney.
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,
Aa le hene kinalo’ Iosefe ty tane Mitsraime ho a i Parò. Fa songa nandetake i tete’ey o nte-Mitsraimeo ami’ty hamafe’ i san-kerey ama’e; aa le niazo’ i Parò i taney.
21 and Joseph reduced the people to servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.
Le ty am’ ondatio, naveve’e mb’an-drova ao, sikal’ ami’ty efe’ i Mitsraime añe pak’ añ’efe’e ila’e ka.
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.
Ty tane’ o mpisoroñeo avao ty tsy vinili’e; amy te nahazo vati-jadoñe erik’ amy Parò naho nikama i vaty namahana’ i Parò iareoy vaho tsy naleta’ iareo o taneo.
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.
Le hoe t’Iosefe am’ondatio, Kanao nikaloeko ama’areo anindroany ho a i Parò o sandri’ areoo naho ty tane’areo, intoy ty tabiry ho anahareo; tongiso i taney.
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.”
Le hatolo’ areo amy Parò am-pitatahañe añe ty faha-lime’e naho ho tana’areo ty faha-lime’e efatse ho tabiry amo tonda’ areoo, le ho mahakama’ areo naho ho a o añ’anjomba’ areoo vaho ho a o keleia’ areoo.
25 “You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
Hoe iereo, Fa rinomba’o ty fiai’ay, aa ehe te hahatendrek’ isoke am-pahaoniñan-talekoy, le ho mpitoro’ i Parò zahay.
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.
Aa le nanoe’ Iosefe fañè an-tane Mitsraime pak’ androany te a i Parò ty faha-lime’e naho tsy ty tane’ o mpisoroñeo avao, ie tsy nivalike ho amy Parò.
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.
Aa le nitoetse an-tane Mitsraime, an-tane Gosena añe t’Israele vaho nanontoñe vara ao, le namokatse vaho nangetseketseke.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.
Nimoneñe an-tane Mitsraime ao folo-tao-fito’amby t’Iakòbe. Aa le zato-tsi-efapolo-fito’ amby taoñe ty andro niveloma’ Iakòbe.
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,
Ie nitotoke ty fañitoza’ Israele, le kinanji’e t’Iosefe ana-dahi’e le hoe ty nafè’e: Ie nahaonim-pañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o, le ehe aziliho ambane’ foto-peko ao ty fità’o havana vaho atraho am-patarihañe naho havantañañe. Ko mandeveñe ahy e Mitsraime atoy;
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.”
aa kanao hindre hitsalalampatse aman-droaeko ao, le takono hiakatse i Mitsraime vaho alenteho an-kibori’ iareo ao. Hoe ty natoi’e, Hene hanoeko o nisaontsie’oo,
31 “Swear to me,” Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
le hoe re, Mifantà amako, le nifanta’e, vaho nibokok’ antondohàm-pandrea’e eo t’Israele.
