< Genesis 47 >
1 And Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said, My father and my brethren, and their sheep and their cattle, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of 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 took from the whole number of his brethren, five men, and set them before Pharaoh.
Un viņš ņēma piecus no visiem saviem brāļiem, un tos veda Faraona priekšā.
3 And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, 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 And they said to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for the sheep that thy servants have, for the famine is grievous in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell 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 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
Tad Faraons runāja uz Jāzepu un sacīja: tavs tēvs un tavi brāļi pie tevis atnākuši.
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land settle thy father and thy brethren: let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if thou knowest men of activity among them, then set them as overseers of cattle over what I have.
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 And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Un Jāzeps atveda savu tēvu Jēkabu, un to stādīja Faraona priekšā, un Jēkabs svētīja Faraonu.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
Un Faraons sacīja uz Jēkabu: Cik gadu tavām dzīvības dienām?
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they do not attain to the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojourning.
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 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.
Un Jēkabs svētīja Faraonu un izgāja no Faraona.
11 And Joseph settled his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land 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 And Joseph maintained his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to the number of the little ones.
Un Jāzeps uzturēja savu tēvu un savus brāļus un visu sava tēva namu ar maizi, kā kuram bija bērnu.
13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very grievous; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted through 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 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
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 And when money came to an end in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread! for why should we die before thee? for [our] money is all gone.
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 And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if [your] money be all gone.
Tad Jāzeps sacīja: dodiet savus lopus; tad es jums došu par jūsu lopiem, kad naudas nav.
17 And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread for horses, and for flocks of sheep, and for herds of cattle, and for asses; and he fed them with bread for all their cattle that year.
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 And that year ended; and they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide [it] from my lord that since [our] money is come to an end, and the herds of cattle are in the possession of my lord, nothing is left before my lord but 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 die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen to Pharaoh; and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not 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 And Joseph bought all the soil of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them; and 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 as for the people, he removed them into the cities, from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end of it.
Tad tā zeme kļuva Faraona rokā, un viņš tos ļaudis pārcēla pilsētās, no viena Ēģiptes robežu gala līdz otram galam.
22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had an assigned portion from Pharaoh, and ate their assigned portion which Pharaoh had given them; 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 And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow 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 And it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth to Pharaoh, and the four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
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 And they said, Thou hast saved us alive. Let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen.
Un tie sacīja: tu mūs esi uzturējis dzīvus; lai žēlastību atrodam sava kunga acīs, tad mēs būsim Faraona kalpi.
26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, [that] the fifth should be for Pharaoh, except the land of the priests: theirs alone did not become Pharaoh's.
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 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
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 days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.
Un Jēkabs dzīvoja Ēģiptes zemē septiņpadsmit gadus, un Jēkaba dienas bija simts četrdesmit un septiņi gadi.
29 And the days of Israel approached that he should die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, 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 shall lie with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their sepulchre. And he said, I will do according to thy word.
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 And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel worshipped on the bed's head.
Tad viņš sacīja: zvērē man. Un tas viņam zvērēja. Un Israēls pielūdza Dievu savas gultas galvgalā.
