Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.
Josef gara gwa Fero sị, “Nna m na ụmụnne m ejirila igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, igwe ehi ha na ihe niile ha nwere site nʼala Kenan bịa nʼebe a. Ha nọ nʼala Goshen.”
2 And he took five of his brothers to Pharaoh.
Mgbe ọ gara ịgwa Fero okwu, o duuru mmadụ ise nʼetiti ụmụnne ya ndị ikom gosi ha Fero.
3 And Pharaoh said to them, What is your business? And they said, Your servants are keepers of sheep, as our fathers were before us.
Fero jụrụ ụmụnne ya ajụjụ sị ha, “Gịnị bụ ọrụ aka unu?” Ha zara sị ya, “Ndị ohu gị bụ ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ dịka nna nna anyị ha.”
4 And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.
Ha kwukwara sị, “Anyị bịara ịnọ dịka ọbịa nʼala a nʼihi na ụnwụ a siri oke ike nʼala Kenan. O nweghị nri igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị nwere iri nʼala ahụ. Ya mere, anyị na-arịọ ka i nye ndị ohu gị ike ka ha biri nʼala Goshen.”
5 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.
Fero gwara Josef sị, “Nna gị na ụmụnne gị abịakwutela gị. Ha biri nʼala Goshen.
6 And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.
Ala Ijipt dịkwa gị nʼihu. Họrọ ebe ọbụla masịrị gị nke dịkwa ezi mma nye nna gị na ụmụnne gị ka ha biri. Ka ha biri na Goshen. Ọ bụrụkwa na ị maara ndị ikom nʼetiti ha ndị nwere ike, mee ha ndị na-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ m.”
7 Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.
Josef kpọtara nna ya Jekọb, mee ka o guzo nʼihu Fero. Jekọb nọ nʼebe ahụ gọzie Fero.
8 And Pharaoh said to him, How old are you?
Fero jụrụ Jekọb sị, “Ị gbaala afọ ole ugbu a?”
9 And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.
Jekọb zara Fero sị ya: “Ebiela m dịka onye ọbịa narị afọ na iri afọ atọ. Ọnụọgụgụ afọ ndị a ehighị nne, ma ha jupụtara nʼahụhụ na nsogbu. Ma a nọrubeghị m ọnụọgụgụ afọ nna m ha gbara mgbe ha biri nʼụwa dịka ọbịa.”
10 And Jacob gave Pharaoh his blessing, and went out from before him.
Jekọb gọziri Fero, site nʼihu ya pụọ.
11 And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.
Ya mere, Josef mere ka nna ya na ụmụnne ya biri nʼala Ijipt. O nyere ha ala kachasị mma nʼala ahụ na mpaghara Ramesis, dịka Fero nyere nʼiwu.
12 And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.
Josef nyere nna ya na ụmụnne ya na ezinaụlọ nna ya nri dịka ọnụọgụgụ nke ụmụ ha si dị.
13 Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.
Ma nri adịghị nʼala ahụ niile nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị nnọọ njọ. Ihe siri ike nʼala Ijipt ma nʼala Kenan nʼihi ụnwụ a.
14 And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.
Josef chịkọtara ego niile dị nʼala Ijipt, na nʼala Kenan, nke ndị mmadụ ji kwụọ ụgwọ nri ha zụrụ webata ha nʼụlọeze Fero.
15 And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.
Mgbe ego niile dị ndị mmadụ nʼaka gwụchara nʼala Ijipt ma nʼala Kenan, ndị Ijipt niile bịakwutere Josef sị ya, “Nye anyị nri, gịnị mere anyị ga-eji nwụọ nʼihu gị? Ego anyị agwụla.”
16 And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.
Mgbe ahụ Josef zara sị ha: “Jirinụ anụ ụlọ unu kwụọ ụgwọ nri m ga-enye unu, ebe ọ bụ na ego unu agwụla.”
17 So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.
Ya mere, ha kpụtaara Josef anụ ụlọ ha. Josef nyere ha nri nʼọnọdụ ịnyịnya ha, na atụrụ ha, na ewu ha, na ehi, na ịnyịnya ibu ha. O were nri zụọ ha nʼafọ ahụ nʼọnọdụ anụ ụlọ ha niile.
18 And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;
Mgbe afọ ahụ gafesịrị, ha bịakwutekwara ya nʼafọ nke ọzọ sị ya, “Anyị agaghị ezoro onyenwe anyị na ego anyị agwụla, na igwe anụ ụlọ anyị bụkwa nke gị. O nweghị ihe ọzọ fọdụrụ anyị karịa ahụ anyị na ala anyị.
19 Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.
Gịnị mere anyị ga-eji nọọ nʼagụụ nʼihu gị? Zụrụ anyị na ala anyị nʼọnọdụ ụgwọ anyị ga-akwụ maka nri ị ga-enye anyị. Ka anyị na ala anyị bụrụ ndị ohu Fero. Nye anyị mkpụrụ ubi ka anyị dịrị ndụ ghara ịnwụ, ka ala a ghara ịbụ ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu.”
20 So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.
Ya mere, Josef zụtaara Fero ala Ijipt niile. Ndị Ijipt niile nʼotu nʼotu rere ala ha nʼihi oke ụnwụ ahụ dakwasịrị ha. Mgbe ahụ, ala ha niile ghọrọ nke Fero.
21 And as for the people, he made servants of them, town by town, from one end of Egypt to the other.
Ya mere, Josef si otu a mee ka ndị Ijipt niile ghọọ ndị ohu Fero, site nʼotu obodo nʼala ahụ ruo na nke ọzọ ya.
22 Only he did not take the land of the priests, for the priests had their food given them by Pharaoh, and having what Pharaoh gave them, they had no need to give up their land.
Ala nke Josef na-azụtaghị nʼoge a bụ naanị ala ndị nchụaja. Nʼihi na ndị nchụaja si nʼaka Fero na-enweta nri ha site nʼoge ruo nʼoge. Ha nwekwara nri na-ezuru ha site na oke ahụ Fero na-enye ha. Ya mere ha ereghị ala ha.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, I have made you and your land this day the property of Pharaoh; here is seed for you to put in your fields.
Mgbe ahụ, Josef gwara ndị mmadụ ahụ niile okwu sị, “Lee, azụọla unu taa, zụkwaa a ala unu nye Fero.
24 And when the grain is cut, you are to give a fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts will be yours for seed and food, and for your families and your little ones.
Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ihe unu nwetara nʼubi unu bụ nke Fero. Deberenụ onwe unu ụzọ anọ fọdụrụ ka ọ bụrụ ihe unu ga-akụ nʼubi na ihe unu ga-eri na ihe ndị ezinaụlọ unu, na nke ụmụntakịrị unu ga-eri.”
25 And they said to him, Truly you have kept us from death; may we have grace in your eyes, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Ha zara sị ya, “Ị zọpụtala ndụ anyị. Ka anyị hụta amara nʼihu nna anyị ukwu. Anyị ga-abụ ndị ohu Fero.”
26 Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.
Josef mere ka nke a bụrụ iwu nʼala Ijipt niile ruo taa, na Fero ga-ewe otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ihe ọbụla si nʼala. Naanị ihe si nʼala ndị nchụaja bụ nke na-esoghị nʼiwu a.
27 And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.
Izrel biri na Goshen nke dị nʼala Ijipt. Ha kpatara akụ hie nne, mụbaa nʼọmụmụ, ma nʼọnụọgụgụ.
28 And Jacob was living in the land of Goshen for seventeen years; so the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.
Jekọb biri nʼala Ijipt afọ iri na asaa. Ya mere, afọ niile Jekọb gbara bụ narị afọ na iri afọ anọ na asaa.
29 And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;
Mgbe ụbọchị ọnwụ Izrel na-abịaru nso, ọ kpọrọ Josef nwa ya sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m ahụtala amara nʼihu gị, tinye aka gị nʼokpuru apata m, kwee m nkwa na ị ga-egosi m obi ebere na ezi ntụkwasị obi. Elila m nʼala nʼIjipt.
30 But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.
Kama, mgbe m nwụrụ, site nʼala Ijipt bupụ m. Buru ozu m gaa lie ya ebe e liri nna m ha.” Ọ zara, “Aga m eme dịka i kwuru.”
31 And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Ṅụọrọ m iyi na ị ga-eme ya.” Josef ṅụọrọ ya iyi. Izrel nʼonwe ya, kpọrọ isiala dịka ọ dabere nʼelu mkpanaka ya.
