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.”
HELE ae la o Iosepa, hai aku la ia Parao, i aku la, Ua hiki mai nei ko'u makuakane a me ko'u poe hanauna, a me ka lakou hipa, a me ka lakou holoholona, a me ka lakou mea a pau, mai ka aina mai o Kanaana, aia hoi lakou ma ka aina, i Gosena.
2 Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
Lawe ae la ia i elima o kona poe hanauna, hoonoho iho la ia lakou imua o Parao.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
Olelo mai la o Parao i na hoahanau o Iosepa, Heaha ka oukou oihana? I mai la lakou ia Parao, He poe kahuhipa kau poe kauwa nei, o makou a me ko makou poe makua.
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.”
I hou mai la lakou ia Parao, Ua hele mai nei makou e noho ma keia aina, no ka mea, aole ai na ka poe holoholona a kau poe kauwa, no ka nui o ka wi ma ka aina o Kanaana. No ia mea, ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e noho makou ma ka aina i Gosena.
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
A olelo mai la o Parao ia Iosepa, i mai la, Ua hiki mai iou la kou makuakane a me na hoahanau ou.
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.”
O ka aina o Aigupita, eia no ia imua ou: i ka aina maikai nui, e hoonoho ai oe i kou makuakane a me na hoahanau ou: e noho iho lakou i ka aina o Gosena. A ina i ike oe i na kanaka akamai o lakou, e hoonoho oe ia lakou i mau kahu no ka'u poe holoholona,
7 Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
Alakai mai la o Iosepa ia Iakoba i kona makuakane, a hoonoho mai la ia ia imua o Parao. Hoomaikai aku la o Iakoba ia Parao.
8 Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
Ninau mai la o Parao ia Iakoba, Ehia la na makahiki o kou ola ana?
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.”
I aku la o Iakoba ia Parao, O na la o ko'u mau makahiki i noho malihini ai, hookahi ia haneri makahiki a me kanakolu. He hapa a he ino hoi na la o ko'u mau makahiki e ola nei; aole nae i loaa ia'u na la a me na makahiki o ko'u poe kupuna i ko lakou noho malihini ana.
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
Hoomaikai aku la o Iakoba ia Parao, a hele aku la mai ke alo aku o Parao.
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.
Hoonoho iho la o Iosepa i kona makuakane a me kona poe hoahanau, a haawi aku la oia ia lakou i wahi e noho ai ma ka aina o Aigupita, i kahi aina maikai, i ka aina o Ramese, e like me ke kanoha ana mai a Parao.
12 He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
Malama aku la o Iosepa i kona makuakane, a me kona poe hoahanau, a me ka ohana a kona makuakane a pau i ka ai, e like me na waha o ka ohana.
13 No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
Aole ai ma ka aina a pau, no ka mea, ua hanahana loa ka wi. Oki loa iho la ka aina o Aigupita a me ka aina o Kanaana i ka wi.
14 By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
Hooiliili iho la o Iosepa i ke kala a pau loa ma ka aina o Aigupita, a ma ka aina o Kanaana, no ka ai a lakou i kuai ai; a lawe mai la o Iosepa i ke kala iloko o ka hale o Parao.
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!”
Pau iho la ko kala ma ka aina o Aigupita, a ma ka aina o Kanaana, a hele mai la ko Aigupita a pau io Iosepa la, i mai la, Ho mai i ai na makou, no ke aha la makou e make ai imua o kou alo i ka pau ana o ke kala?
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.”
I mai la Iosepa ia lakou, Ina i pau ke kala, ho mai i ka oukou holoholona, a e haawi aku au i ai na oukou no ka oukou holoholona.
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.
Lawe mai la lakou i ka lakou holoholona ia Iosepa, a haawi aku la o Iosepa i ai na iakou, no na lio, a no na hipa, a no na bipi, a no na hoki, a malama aku la oia ia lakou i ka ai ia makahiki, no ka lakou holoholona.
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.
A pau ae la ia makahiki, hele mai la lakou ia ia, i ka lua o na makahiki, i mai la ia ia, Aole makou e huna mai ko makou haku aku, i ka pau ana o ko makou kala, a me ka makou holoholona ia oe i ko makou haku. Aohe mea i koe imua ou, o ko makou kino, a me ko makou aina wale no.
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.”
No ke aha la makou e make ai imua o kou mau maka, o makou a me ko makou aina! E kuai oe ia makou a me ko makou aina, no ka ai, a lilo makou a me ko makou aina i kauwa na Parao. E haawi mai hoi i hua, i ola makou, sole hoi e make, i ole ai e neoneo ka aina.
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,
Kuai iho la o Iosepa i ka aina a pau i Aigupita no Parao, no ka mea, kuai aku la na kanaka a pau o Aigupita i ko lakou aina, no ka mea, ua hauahana loa ka wi maluna o lakou, a lilo ae la ka aina no Parao.
21 and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
A lawe ae la ia i kanaka o kekahi kihi, a hoonoho ia lakou ma na kulanakauhale ma kela kihi o ka aina.
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.
O ka aina o na kahuna, aole ia i kuai, no ka mea, na Parao mai, ka na kahuna, a ai iho la lakou i ka mea a Parao i haawi mai ai na lakou, no ia mea, aole lakou i kuai i ko lakou aina.
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.
Olelo iho o Iosepa i kanaka, Eia hoi, ua kuai au ia oukou i keia la no Parao, a me ko oukou aina; eia no ka hua na oukou e kanu i ka aina.
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.”
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka hua ana mai, e haawi oukou i ka hapalima na Parao, a koe no eha mau hapa na oukou, i mea kanu o ka aina, a i mea ai na oukou, a na ko oukou kanaka, a i mea ai hoi na ka oukou kamalii.
25 “You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
I mai la lakou, Ua hoola mai oe ia makou, ina e loaa ia makou ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o na maka o ko'u haku, a e lilo auanei makou i poe kauwa na Parao.
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.
Hoopaa iho la o Iosepa ia mea i kanawai, mai ia manawa mai, ma ka aina o Aigupita, na Parao ka hapalima o ka ai; o ka aina o na kahuna wale no ka i koe, aole ia i lilo na Parao.
27 The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
Noho iho la o Iseraela, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka aina o Gosena, a loaa mai la ia lakou ka waiwai ilaila, a hanau mai la lakou, a lilo ae la i poe nui loa.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
O na makahiki o ka noho ana o Iakoba i ka aina o Aigupita, he umikumamahiku: a o na makahiki a pau o ke ola ana o Iakoba, hookahi haneri makahiki a me kanahakumamahiku.
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.
A kokoke aku la ka la e make ai o Iseraela, hea aku la ia i kana keiki ia Iosepa, i aku la ia ia, Ina i loaa mai ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou maka, e kau mai oe i kou lima malalo o ko'u uha. a e hana mai oe ia'u ma ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio; ea, mai kanu oe ia'u ma Aigupita nei.
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.
E moe au me o'u mau makua. E lawe oe ia'u mai Aigupita aku, a e kanu ia'u ma ko lakou ilina. I mai la kela, E hana no wau e like mo kau olelo.
31 “Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
I aku la keia, E hoohiki mai oe ia'u, a hoohiki iho la kela, a kulou hoomana iho la o Iseraela ma ke poo o kona wahi moe.
