Genesis 47
1 And Joseph came and told Pharao, [saying], My father, and my brethren, and their cattle, and their oxen, and all their possessions, are come out of the land of Chanaan, and behold, they are in the land of Gesem.
Apre sa, Jozèf al avèti farawon an li di l': -Men papa m' ak frè m' yo rive soti nan peyi Kanaran, yo vini ak mouton yo, bèf yo ak tout sa yo genyen. Koulye a menm yo Gochenn.
2 And he took of his brethren five men, and set them before Pharao.
Jozèf te pran senk nan frè l' yo avèk li, li prezante yo bay farawon an.
3 And Pharao said to the brethren of Joseph, What is your occupation? and they said to Pharao, Thy servants are shepherds, both we and our father.
Farawon an di yo konsa: -Ki metye nou? Yo reponn li: -Metye nou se gade bèt tankou zansèt nou yo.
4 And they said to Pharao, We are come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flocks of thy servants, for the famine has prevailed in the land of Chanaan; now then, we will dwell in the land of Gesem. And Pharao said to Joseph, Let them dwell in the land of Gesem; and if thou knowest that there are among them able men, make them overseers of my cattle. So Jacob and his sons came into Egypt, to Joseph; and Pharao, king of Egypt, heard [of it].
Apre sa, yo di farawon an: -Nou vin pou nou ka rete nan peyi a, paske pa gen manje ankò nan peyi nou pou bèt yo manje. Lèfini, grangou a rèd anpil nan peyi Kanaran. Tanpri, ban nou pèmisyon pou nou rete nan peyi Gochenn lan.
5 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father, and thy brethren, are come to thee.
Farawon an di Jozèf: -Men papa ou ak frè ou yo vin jwenn ou isit la.
6 Behold, the land of Egypt is before thee; settle thy father and thy brethren in the best land.
tout peyi Lejip la la devan ou. Chwazi pi bon tè nan peyi a, ba yo l' pou rete. Yo mèt rete sou tè Gochenn lan. Epi, si ou konnen gen nan mitan yo moun ki kapab pran swen bèt pa m' yo, ou mèt ba yo bèt mwen yo gade.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharao; and Jacob blessed Pharao.
Apre sa, Jozèf fè papa l' vini, li prezante l' bay farawon an. Lè Jakòb fin di farawon an bonjou,
8 And Pharao said to Jacob, How many are the years of the days of thy life?
farawon an mande l': -Ki laj ou?
9 And Jacob said to Pharao, The days of the years of my life, wherein I sojourn, are a hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, they have not attained to the days of the life of my fathers, in which days they sojourned.
Jakòb reponn li: -Mwen gen santrantan (130 an) depi m'ap moute desann sou latè. Men, mwen poko prèt pou m' rive laj zansèt mwen yo te rive lè yo t'ap fè moute desann pa yo. Mwen pa gen anpil laj, se vre. Men, mwen pa manke bat mizè.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharao, and departed from him.
Jakòb di farawon an orevwa, epi li ale.
11 And Joseph settled his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best land, in the land of Ramesses, as Pharao commanded.
Jozèf fè papa l' ak frè l' yo rete nan peyi Lejip. Li ba yo tè bò lavil Ranmsès, jan farawon an te mande l' la. Li ba yo yon bon tè nan peyi a.
12 And Joseph gave provision to his father, and his brethren, and to all the house of his father, corn for each person.
Jozèf te bay papa l', frè l' yo ak tout fanmi yo kantite manje yo te bezwen pou mezi timoun yo te genyen.
13 And there was no corn in all the land, for the famine prevailed greatly; and the land of Egypt, and the land of Chanaan, fainted for the famine.
Grangou a te rèd anpil toupatou. pa t' gen manje ankò. Moun peyi Lejip ak moun peyi Kanaran yo t'ap fin deperi anba grangou a.
14 And Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and the land of Chanaan, [in return for] the corn which they bought, and he distributed corn to them; and Joseph brought all the money into the house of Pharao.
Jozèf te fin ranmase dènye lajan moun peyi Lejip ak moun peyi Kanaran te genyen nan vann yo ble. Li pote tout lajan an lakay farawon an.
15 And all the money failed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Chanaan; and all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread, and why do we die in thy presence? for our money is spent.
Lè tout lajan moun yo fini nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Kanaran, tout moun peyi Lejip yo vin jwenn Jozèf, yo di l': -Ban nou manje non, souple. Pa kite nou mouri. Fè kichòy pou nou, nou pa gen lajan ankò.
16 And Joseph said to them, Bring your cattle, and I will give you bread for your cattle, if your money is spent.
Jozèf di yo: -Si nou pa gen lajan, mennen bèt nou yo vini, n'a boukante yo pou manje.
17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in return for their horses, and for their sheep, and for their oxen, and for their asses; and Joseph maintained them with bread for all their cattle in that year.
Se konsa, yo mennen bèt yo bay Jozèf pou fè boukantay. Li ba yo manje, yo ba li chwal, bèf, mouton, bourik. Pandan tout lanne a, li boukante manje ak yo pou valè bèt yo te genyen.
18 And that year passed, and they came to him in the second year, and said to him, Must we then be consumed from before our lord? for if our money has failed, and our possessions, and our cattle, [brought] to thee our lord, and there has not been left to us before our lord more than our own bodies and our land, [we are indeed destitute].
Apre lanne a fin pase, yo tounen bò kote Jozèf ankò. Yo di li: -Nou p'ap kapab kache ou sa, mèt. Lajan nou fini nèt. Nou deja ba ou tout bèt nou te genyen. Koulye a, mèt, se tè nou yo ak pwòp tèt nou ase ki rete pou n' ba ou.
19 In order, then, that we die not before thee, and the land be made desolate, buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharao: give seed that we may sow, and live and not die, so our land shall not be made desolate.
Pa kite nou mouri. Fè kichòy pou nou! Pa kite nou pèdi tè nou yo. Fè pri pou nou menm ansanm ak tout tè nou yo. N'ap tounen esklav farawon an. Tè nou yo va pou li tou. Men, ban nou plan pou nou simen nan jaden nou yo pou nou pa mouri, pou tè a pa fin tounen savann.
20 And Joseph bought all the land of the Egyptians, for Pharao; for the Egyptians sold their land to Pharao; for the famine prevailed against them, and the land became Pharao's.
Se konsa Jozèf achte tout tè Lejip la pou farawon an. tout moun peyi Lejip yo te vann li tè yo paske grangou a t'ap fini ak yo. tout peyi a vini pou farawon an.
21 And he brought the people into bondage to him, for servants, from one extremity of Egypt to the other,
Jozèf fè tout moun toupatou nan peyi a tounen esklav farawon an.
22 except only the land of the priests; Joseph bought not this, for Pharao gave a portion in the way of gift to the priests; and they ate their portion which Pharao gave them; therefore they sold not their land.
Se te prèt yo ase li pa t' manyen. Prèt yo pa t' bezwen tè pou yo manje, paske, dapre yon lwa ki gen nan peyi a, se farawon an menm ki te toujou peye yo. Se ak lajan sa a yo te viv.
23 And Joseph said to all the Egyptians, Behold, I have bought you and your land this day for Pharao; take seed for you, and sow the land.
Jozèf di pèp la: -Jòdi a, mwen achte nou ansanm ak tout tè nou yo pou farawon an. Men grenn m'ap ban nou pou nou plante nan jaden nou yo.
24 And there shall be the fruits of it; and ye shall give the fifth part to Pharao, and the four [remaining] parts shall be for yourselves, for seed for the earth, and for food for you, and all that are in your houses.
Lè sezon rekòt la va rive, n'a bay farawon an yon senkyèm (1/5) nan tou sa nou rekòlte. Rès la va pou nou, pou nou plante nan jaden nou yo, pou nou manje nou menm ansanm ak pitit nou yo ak tout moun ki lakay nou.
25 And they said, Thou hast saved us; we have found favour before our lord, and we will be servants to Pharao.
Yo reponn li: -Ou sove lavi nou! Sèl sa nou mande ou, se pou ou aji byen ak nou. N'ap rete esklav farawon an.
26 And Joseph appointed it to them for an ordinance until this day; to reserve a fifth part for Pharao, on the land of Egypt, except only the land of the priests, that was not Pharao's.
Se konsa, Jozèf te pase yon regleman pou tout peyi Lejip la: dapre regleman sa a ki la jouk koulye a toujou, se pou yo bay farawon an yon senkyèm sou chak rekòt. Se sèlman tè prèt yo ki pa t' pou farawon an.
27 And Israel dwelt in Egypt, in the land of Gesem, and they gained an inheritance upon it; and they increased and multiplied very greatly.
Moun Izrayèl yo te rete nan peyi Lejip sou tè Gochenn lan. Yo vin gen anpil byen. Yo te fè anpil anpil pitit. Yo t'ap fè toujou.
28 And Jacob survived seventeen years in the land of Egypt; and Jacob's days of the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven years.
Jakòb pase disèt lanne nan peyi Lejip. Li te rive gen sankarannsèt (147) lanne sou tèt li.
29 and the days of Israel drew nigh for him to die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If I have found favour before thee, put thy hand under my thigh, and thou shalt execute mercy and truth toward me, so as not to bury me in Egypt.
Lè sa a, Izrayèl vin wè li pa t' gen lontan pou l' viv ankò. Li fè rele Jozèf, pitit li a, li di l' konsa: -Si ou renmen m' vre, tanpri, fè m' sèman. Mete men ou nan fant janm mwen, pwomèt mwen w'ap kenbe pawòl ou, ou p'ap janm trayi m'. Tanpri, pa antere m' nan peyi Lejip.
30 But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me up out of Egypt, and bury me in their sepulchre. And he said, I will do according to thy word.
Mwen vle pou yo antere m' menm kote ak zansèt mwen yo, lè m aval jwenn fanmi mwen yo ki mouri deja a. Se pou ou pran kadav mwen, pote l' soti peyi Lejip, al antere l' nan kavo fanmi m' yo. Jozèf reponn li: -m'a fè jan ou mande m' lan.
31 And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel did reverence, leaning on the top of his staff.
Men, Jakòb di Jozèf konsa: -Fè m' sèman w'ap fè sa pou mwen! Jozèf sèmante ba li. Apre sa, Izrayèl bese kouche nan kabann li.
