Genesis 47
1 Joseph went to report to Pharaoh and told him, “My father and brothers, along with their flocks and herds and all their possessions, have arrived from the land of Canaan and now they're here in Goshen.”
Josef nodhi monyiso Farao niya, “Wuora kod owetene osebiro koa e piny Kanaan kod kwethgi kod dhogi kod gik moko duto ma gin-go kendo koro gidak e piny Goshen.”
2 Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
Josef nokawo owetene abich kendo okelo e nyim Farao.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
Farao nopenjo owete Josef-go niya, “Utiyo angʼo?” Negidwoko Farao niya, “Jotichgi gin jokwath.”
4 “We have come to live in Egypt because there's no grass left in Canaan for our flocks to eat,” they explained. “The famine is really bad in Canaan. So we would like to please ask permission to live in Goshen.”
Negimedo wachone niya, “Wasebiro mondo wadag e pinyni matin, nikech kech ger e piny Kanaan maonge kata mana lum ma jamb jotichni dikwae. Kuom mano, koro yie jotichgi odag e gwengʼ Goshen.”
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Wuonu kod oweteni osebiro iri,
6 you can choose wherever you like in Egypt, the best place, for them to live. Let them live in Goshen. If you know any of them who are good at what they do, put them in charge of my livestock as well.”
kendo piny Misri ni e lweti, ket wuonu kod oweteni odag kama berie moloyo. We gidag Goshen kendo ka ingʼeyo moko kuomgi man kod mich mar kwath ketgi mondo gibed jorit jamba.”
7 Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
Eka Josef nokelo Jakobo wuon mare kendo okete e nyim Farao. Ka Jakobo nosegwedho Farao,
8 Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
Farao nopenje niya, “In ja-higni adi?”
9 “I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
Kendo Jakobo nodwoko Farao niya, “Higni ma asewuothogo e piny gin higni mia achiel kod piero adek. Gisebedo manok kendo matek kendo ok ginyal romo gi higni mane wuora odak godo e piny.”
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
Eka Jakobo nogwedho Farao kendo owuok modhi.
11 So Joseph arranged for his father and brothers to live in Egypt and gave them land in the best part near Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
Kuom mano Josef nomiyo wuon-gi kod owetene kuonde mabeyo e piny Misri e gwengʼ mar Rameses mana kaka Farao nochike.
12 He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
Bende Josef nomiyo wuon-gi kod owetene kod jood wuon-gi duto gi chiemo kaluwore gi kar romb nyithindgi.
13 No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
Kata kamano, ne onge chiemo e piny duto nikech kech ne ger; piny Misri kaachiel gi piny Kanaan nobedo gi dhier malich.
14 By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
Josef nochoko pesa duto mane yudore e piny Misri kod piny Kanaan kuom cham mane gingʼiewo kuome kendo noterogi e od keno mar Farao.
15 Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
Kane pesa jo-Misri kod jo-Kanaan orumo, jo-Misri duto nobiro ir Josef kendo owachone niya, “Miwa chiemo, dangʼ watho e nyimi nangʼo to pesawa orumo?”
16 “Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
Eka Josef nowachonegi niya, “Nikech pesau oserumo, keluru jambu mondo uwilgo cham mabiro miyou.”
17 So they brought Joseph their livestock, and he provided them with grain in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. He gave them grain in return for their livestock during that year.
Kuom mano negikelo jambgi ne Josef kendo nomiyogi chiemo kar farese, gi rombe gi diek gi dhok kod punde. Kendo e higano, nopidhogi gi chiemo kar jambgi duto.
18 But when that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, “My lord, we can't hide from you the fact that our money is gone and that you now own our livestock. All we have left to give you are our bodies and our land.
Kane higano orumo, negidok ire e higa moluwo mano mi giwachone niya, “Ruoth ok wanyal wuondoreni nikech pesawa oserumo kendo jambwa bende osedoko magi, koro onge gima wanyalo miyi makmana ringrewa kod lopewa.
19 Do you want us to die right in front of you? So buy us and our land in return for food. Then our land will belong to Pharaoh, and we'll be his slaves. Just give us grain so we can live and won't die, and so the land won't be abandoned.”
Angʼo momiyo diwatho kendo lopewa bende kethore to ineno? Ngʼiewa-wa wabed wasumbinini kaachiel gi puothewa kuom chiemo mondo mi wan kaachiel gi puothewa wabed mag Farao. Miwa kodhi mipidho mondo kik watho kendo puothewa kik kethre.”
20 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Each and every Egyptian sold their fields, because the famine was hurting them so badly. The land ended up being owned by Pharaoh,
Kuom mano Josef nongʼiewo lope duto mag Misri ne Farao. Jo-Misri noloko puothegi duto pesa nikech kech ne duongʼ ahinya. Piny Misri duto nobedo mar Farao,
21 and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
kendo Josef nodaro jo-Misri e miechgi koa koni nyaka komachielo.
22 The only land he didn't buy belonged to the priests because they had a food allowance provided to them by Pharaoh, so they didn't have to sell their land.
To kata kamano ne ok ongʼiewo puothe jodolo nikech negiyudo pokgi mapile pile koa kuom Farao kendo ne gin gi chiemo moromogi kuom pok mane Farao miyogi. Mano ema omiyo jodolo ne ok ouso puothegi.
23 Then Joseph told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the fields.
Josef nowacho ne jo-Misri-go niya, “Koro kaka asengʼiewou kawuononi ne Farao kaachiel gi puotheu, kodhi eri dhi ukom.
24 However, when it's harvested, you have to give one fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you can keep as seed for the fields and as food for you, your households, and your children.”
To e ndalo mag keyo, nyaka umi Farao achiel kuom abich. To angʼwen ewi abich modongʼ unyalo kano kaka kodhi kendo kaka chiembu gi nyithindu kod joodu duto.”
25 “You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
Negiwachone Josef niya, “Ruoth isekonyo ngimawa, omiyo ka ineno ni mano ber to wabiro bedo wasumb Farao.”
26 So Joseph made it a law for Egypt which is still is in effect today that one fifth of all produce from the land belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests' land was exempt since it did not belong to Pharaoh.
Kuom mano Josef nokete kaka chik e piny Misri nyaka chil kawuono, ni achiel kuom abich mar cham nyaka bed mar Farao. Puothe jodolo kende ema ne ok Farao okawo.
27 The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
Jo-Israel nodak Misri e gwengʼ Goshen. Negiyudo mwandu mangʼeny kuno kendo ne ginyaa mi kwan-gi omedore ahinya.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
Jakobo nodak Misri kuom higni apar gabiriyo kendo ndalo hike duto noromo higni mia achiel gi piero angʼwen gabiriyo.
29 When the time came for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If you think well of me, place your hand under my thigh and promise to treat me with trustworthy love and faithfulness. Don't bury me here in Egypt.
Kane kinde mar tho Israel ochopo machiegni, noluongo Josef wuode kendo owachone niya, “Ka itimona ngʼwono, to yie iket lweti e kind ema kendo ikwongʼrina ni nikecha kendo ibedna ja-adiera. Kik iika e piny Misri
30 When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
to ka anindo maluwo kwerena, to gola Misri kendo idhi iyika kuma oikie kwerena.” Josef nodwoke ni, “Abiro timo kaka iwacho.”
31 “Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
Nowacho ne Josef niya, “Kwongʼrina.” Eka Josef nokwongʼorene, kendo Israel nolemo koyiengore e ludhe mar wuoth.
