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.
Ke ma inge Joseph el eis limekosr sin mwet lel ac som nu yorol tokosra. El fahk nu sel tokosra, “Papa tumuk ac mwet lik nukewa tuku tari liki acn Canaan, us un kosro natulos ac ma nukewa lalos. Ingena elos muta oasr in acn Goshen.”
2 And he took of his brethren five men, and set them before Pharao.
Na toko el tukakunang mwet wial nu sel tokosra.
3 And Pharao said to the brethren of Joseph, What is your occupation? and they said to Pharao, Your servants are shepherds, both we and our father.
Ac tokosra el siyuk selos, “Orekma su lomtal?” Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, kut mwet shepherd oana mwet matu lasr somla.
4 And they said to Pharao, We are come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flocks of your 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 you know that there are amongst 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].
Kut tuku in muta in facl se inge, mweyen sracl se inge arulana upa in acn Canaan, ac wangin mah kosro natusr uh in kang we. Nunak munas, lela nu sesr in muta in acn Goshen.”
5 And Pharao spoke to Joseph, saying, Your father, and your brethren, are come to you.
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Inge ke papa tomom ac mwet lim nukewa tuku tari,
6 Behold, the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brethren in the best land.
elos sukosok in muta kutena acn in facl Egypt. Tuh lela elos in oakwuki in acn Goshen, acn ma wo emeet in facl se inge. Ac fin oasr mwet pisrla inmasrlolos, sang in karingin un kosro nutik.”
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharao; and Jacob blessed Pharao.
Toko Joseph el usalu Jacob, papa tumal, ac tukakunulang nu sel tokosra. Jacob el akinsewowoyal tokosra,
8 And Pharao said to Jacob, How many are the years of the days of your life?
ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Kom yac ekasr?”
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.
Jacob el topuk, “Nga tuh forot forma liki facl nu ke facl ke yac siofok tolngoul. Yac in forfor luk inge tiana pus, tusruktu arulana upa — tia oana yac puspis ma mwet matu luk elos tuh fufahsryesr kac meet ah.”
10 And Jacob blessed Pharao, and departed from him.
Jacob el sifilpa akinsewowoyal tokosra na el som liki inkul sin tokosra.
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.
Na Joseph el oakiya papa tumal ac mwet lel nukewa in Egypt, ac sang acn lalos ke acn ma wo oemeet, yen ma apkuran nu ke siti lun Rameses, oana ke tokosra el sap.
12 And Joseph gave provision to his father, and his brethren, and to all the house of his father, corn for each person.
Joseph el fosrngakin mwe mongo nun papa tumal, mwet lel kewa, ac mwet saya nukewa in sou lun papa tumal, weang pac tulik srisrik nukewa.
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.
Sracl sac tuh arulana upa, oru wanginla mongo in acn nukewa, na mwet Egypt ac mwet Canaan elos munasla ke masrinsral.
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.
Ke elos moli wheat uh, Joseph el eisani mani nukewa ac usla nu inkul fulat sel tokosra.
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 your presence? for our money is spent.
Ke lisr mani nukewa in acn Egypt ac Canaan, mwet Egypt elos tuku nu yorol Joseph ac fahk, “Se kutu mongo ah nasr! Nimet lela kut in misa. Kasrekut! Lisr nufon mani lasr uh!”
16 And Joseph said to them, Bring your cattle, and I will give you bread for your cattle, if your money is spent.
Ac Joseph el fahk, “Use un kosro nutuwos an. Nga ac sot mwe mongo in sang aol, fin lisr nufon mani an.”
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.
Ke ma inge elos use kosro natulos nu yorol Joseph, ac el sang mwe mongo aolla horse, sheep, nani, cow, ac donkey natulos uh. Ke yac sac el sang mwe mongo aol kain in kosro nukewa.
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 you 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].
Yac toko ah, elos sifilpa foloko nu yorol ac fahk, “Kut ac tia wikin nu sum lah pwaye lisr mani lasr uh, ac inge kosro natusr nukewa ma pac nutum. Wangin ma lula yorosr in sot nu sum sayen manosr ac acn lasr uh.
19 In order, then, that we die not before you, 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.
Nik kom lela kut in misa. Kasrekut! Nimet lela ima lasr uh in sisila. Molikutla ac acn lasr uh ke mwe mongo. Kut ac fah mwet kohs lal tokosra, ac acn lasr uh ac fah ma lal. Se kutu wheat an nasr kut in tia misa, ac kutu fita an nu sesr kut in yukwiya in ima lasr uh.
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.
Joseph el molela acn nukewa in Egypt lal tokosra. Ke sripen sracl sac arulana upa, mwet Egypt nukewa kukakunla acn lalos, ac facl sac nufon ma lac lal tokosra.
21 And he brought the people into bondage to him, for servants, from one extremity of Egypt to the other,
Joseph el oru tuh mwet yen nukewa in facl Egypt elos in mwet kohs lac lal tokosra.
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.
Pwayena acn el tia molela pa acn lun mwet tol. Mwet tol elos tia enenu in kukakin acn lalos uh, mweyen oasr kasru lun tokosra nu selos ke mwe mongo pacl nukewa, ac ma inge pa elos moulkin uh.
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.
Joseph el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Liye, nga molikowosla ac facl suwos nukewa tari tuh in ma lal tokosra. Ac fita pa inge, ma kowos in yoki in ima lowos.
24 And there shall be the fruits of it; and you 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.
Fin sun pacl in kosrani, kowos enenu in sang sie tafu limekosr lal tokosra. Ma lula an kowos ku in orekmakin nu ke mwe yok, ac mwe mongo nowos ac sou lowos an.”
25 And they said, You have saved us; we have found favour before our lord, and we will be servants to Pharao.
Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, kut ac fah mwet kohs lal tokosra, mweyen kom oru wo nu sesr ac molikutla.”
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.
Ouinge Joseph el orala tuh in sie ma sap in facl Egypt, tuh sie tafu limekosr ke ma kosrani in ma lun tokosra. Ma sap se inge srakna orekmakinyuk nwe misenge. Acn lun mwet tol mukena tia wi oaoala mu ma lun tokosra.
27 And Israel lived in Egypt, in the land of Gesem, and they gained an inheritance upon it; and they increased and multiplied very greatly.
Mwet Israel elos muta Egypt in acn Goshen, yen ma elos kasrupi we ac pukanteni tulik natulos.
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.
Jacob el muta Egypt yac singoul itkosr, nwe ke el sun yac siofok angngaul itkosr.
29 and the days of Israel drew near for him to die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If I have found favour before you, put your hand under my thigh, and you shall execute mercy and truth towards me, so as not to bury me in Egypt.
Ke el apkuran in misa, el solalma Joseph, wen natul, ac fahk nu sel, “Likiya poum inmasrlon epuk ac oru sie wulela na ku an lah kom ac tia pikinyuwi in acn Egypt.
30 But I will sleep with my fathers, and you shall carry me up out of Egypt, and bury me in their sepulchre. And he said, I will do according to your word.
Nga lungse pukpuki yen na papa tumuk elos pukpuki we. Usyula liki acn Egypt ac pikinyuwi yen elos pukpuki we.” Ac Joseph el fahk, “Nga ac oru oana kom fahk an.”
31 And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel did reverence, leaning on the top of his staff.
Jacob el fahk, “Fulahk lah kom ac oru ouingan.” Na Joseph el orala fulahk lal, ac Jacob el oanna fin mwe oan kial, ac fahk kulo nu sel Joseph.
