< 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.
Josẹfu lọ sọ fún Farao pé, “Baba mi àti àwọn arákùnrin mi, pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran, agbo màlúù àti ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ní, ti dé láti ilẹ̀ Kenaani, wọ́n sì ti wà ní ilẹ̀ Goṣeni báyìí.”
2 And he took from the whole number of his brethren, five men, and set them before Pharaoh.
Ó yan márùn-ún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ́, ó sì fi wọ́n han Farao.
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.
Farao béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni iṣẹ́ yín?” Wọ́n sì fèsì pé, “Darandaran ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba wa ti jẹ́ darandaran.”
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.
Wọ́n sì tún sọ fun un síwájú sí i pé, “A wá láti gbé ìhín yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀ nítorí ìyàn náà mú púpọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò sì rí ewéko jẹ. Nítorí náà jọ̀wọ́ má ṣàì jẹ́ kí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tẹ̀dó sí ilẹ̀ Goṣeni.”
5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Baba rẹ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tọ̀ ọ́ wá,
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.
ilẹ̀ Ejibiti sì nìyí níwájú rẹ, mú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tẹ̀dó sí ibi tí ó dára jù nínú ilẹ̀ náà. Jẹ́ kí wọn máa gbé ní Goṣeni. Bí o bá sì mọ ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn tí ó ní ẹ̀bùn ìtọ́jú ẹran, fi wọ́n ṣe olùtọ́jú ẹran ọ̀sìn mi.”
7 And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu mú Jakọbu baba rẹ̀ wọlé wá sí iwájú Farao. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Jakọbu súre fún Farao tán.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
Farao béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jakọbu pé, “Ọmọ ọdún mélòó ni ọ́?”
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.
Jakọbu sì dá Farao lóhùn, “Ọdún ìrìnàjò ayé mi jẹ́ àádóje, ọjọ́ mi kò pọ̀, ó sì kún fún wàhálà, síbẹ̀ kò ì tí ì tó ti àwọn baba mi.”
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.
Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu tún súre fún Farao, ó sì jáde lọ kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
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.
Josẹfu sì fi baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ó sì fún wọn ní ohun ìní ní ibi tí ó dára jù ní ilẹ̀ náà, ní agbègbè Ramesesi bí Farao ti pàṣẹ.
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.
Josẹfu sì pèsè oúnjẹ fún baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi iye àwọn ọmọ wọn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí oúnjẹ ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà nítorí tí ìyàn náà mú púpọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti ilẹ̀ Kenaani gbẹ nítorí ìyàn náà.
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.
Josẹfu gba gbogbo owó tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti Kenaani ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ti ọkà tí wọn ń rà, ó sì mú owó náà wá sí ààfin Farao.
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.
Nígbà tí owó wọn tán pátápátá ní Ejibiti àti Kenaani, gbogbo Ejibiti wá bá Josẹfu, wọ́n wí pé, “Fún wa ní oúnjẹ, èéṣe tí a ó fi kú ní ojú rẹ? Gbogbo owó wa ni a ti ná tán.”
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if [your] money be all gone.
Josẹfu wí pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn yín wá, èmi yóò fún un yín ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹran ọ̀sìn yín, níwọ̀n bí owó yín ti tan.”
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.
Nítorí náà wọ́n mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn tọ Josẹfu wá, ó sì fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹṣin, àgùntàn, ewúrẹ́, màlúù àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn. Ó sì mú wọn la ọdún náà já, tí ó ń fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn.
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.
Nígbà tí ọdún náà parí, wọn padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ọdún tí ó tẹ̀lé, wọn wí pé, “A kò le fi pamọ́ fun olúwa wa pé níwọ̀n bí owó wa ti tan tí gbogbo ẹran ọ̀sìn wa sì ti di tirẹ̀ pé, kò sí ohunkóhun tókù fún olúwa wa bí kò ṣe ara wa àti ilẹ̀ wa.
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.
Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi parun lójú rẹ, ra àwa tìkára wa àti ilẹ̀ wa ní ìpààrọ̀ fún oúnjẹ, àwa àti ilẹ̀ wa yóò sì wà nínú ìgbèkùn Farao. Fún wa ni oúnjẹ kí àwa kí ó má ba à kú, kí ilẹ̀ wa má ba à di ahoro.”
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.
Nítorí náà Josẹfu ra gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ó wà ní Ejibiti fún Farao, kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní Ejibiti tí kò ta ilẹ̀ tirẹ̀ nítorí ìyàn náà mú jù fún wọn. Gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà sì di ti Farao,
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.
Josẹfu sì sọ gbogbo ará Ejibiti di ẹrú láti igun kan dé èkejì.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ṣá, kò ra ilẹ̀ àwọn àlùfáà, nítorí wọ́n ń gba ìpín oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́ Farao, wọn sì ní oúnjẹ tí ó tó láti inú ìpín tí Farao ń fún wọn. Ìdí nìyí tí wọn kò fi ta ilẹ̀ wọn.
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.
Josẹfu wí fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo ti ra ẹ̀yin àti ilẹ̀ yín tan lónìí fún Farao, irúgbìn rèé, ẹ lọ gbìn ín sí ilẹ̀ náà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìre oko náà bá jáde, ẹ ó mú ìdákan nínú ìdámárùn-ún rẹ̀ fún Farao. Ẹ le pa ìdámẹ́rin tókù mọ́ fún ara yín àti ìdílé yín àti àwọn ọmọ yín.”
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.
Wọ́n dá á lóhùn pé, “O ti gbà wá là, ǹjẹ́ kí a rí ojúrere níwájú olúwa wa, àwa yóò di ẹrú Farao.”
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.
Nítorí náà Josẹfu sọ ọ́ di òfin nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ilẹ̀ ni Ejibiti, ó sì wà bẹ́ẹ̀ di òní olónìí pé, ìdákan nínú ìdámárùn-ún ìre oko jẹ́ ti Farao, ilẹ̀ àwọn àlùfáà nìkan ni kò di ti Farao.
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.
Àwọn ará Israẹli sì tẹ̀dó sí Ejibiti ní agbègbè Goṣeni. Wọ́n ní ohun ìní fún ara wọn, wọ́n sì bí sí i tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọ́n pọ̀ si gidigidi ní iye.
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.
Jakọbu gbé ní Ejibiti fún ọdún mẹ́tàdínlógún iye ọdún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ẹẹ́tàdínlàádọ́jọ.
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;
Nígbà tí àkókò ń súnmọ́ etílé fún Israẹli láti kú, ó pe Josẹfu, ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí mo bá rí ojúrere ni ojú rẹ̀ fi ọwọ́ rẹ sí abẹ́ itan mi, kí o sì ṣe ìlérí pé ìwọ yóò fi àánú àti òtítọ́ hàn sí mi. Má ṣe sin òkú mi sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí mo bá sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba mi, gbé mí jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti kí o sì sin mí sí ibi tí wọ́n sin àwọn baba mi sí.” Josẹfu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ó ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí.”
31 And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel worshipped on the bed's head.
Jakọbu wí pé, “Búra fún mi,” Josẹfu sì búra fún un. Israẹli sì tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba, bí ó ti sinmi lé orí ibùsùn rẹ̀.
