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.”
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 Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
Un viņš ņēma piecus no visiem saviem brāļiem, un tos veda Faraona priekšā.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
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 “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.”
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 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
Tad Faraons runāja uz Jāzepu un sacīja: tavs tēvs un tavi brāļi pie tevis atnākuši.
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.”
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 Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
Un Jāzeps atveda savu tēvu Jēkabu, un to stādīja Faraona priekšā, un Jēkabs svētīja Faraonu.
8 Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
Un Faraons sacīja uz Jēkabu: Cik gadu tavām dzīvības dienām?
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.”
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 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
Un Jēkabs svētīja Faraonu un izgāja no Faraona.
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.
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 He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
Un Jāzeps uzturēja savu tēvu un savus brāļus un visu sava tēva namu ar maizi, kā kuram bija bērnu.
13 No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
Un pa visām zemēm nebija maizes; jo bads bija ļoti grūts, tā ka Ēģiptes zemē un Kanaāna zemē aiz bada nevarēja glābties.
14 By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
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 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!”
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 “Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
Tad Jāzeps sacīja: dodiet savus lopus; tad es jums došu par jūsu lopiem, kad naudas nav.
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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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,
Tad Jāzeps visus ēģiptiešu tīrumus pirka priekš Faraona, jo ēģiptieši pārdeva ikviens savu tīrumu, tāpēc ka bads tiem bija grūts.
21 and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
Tad tā zeme kļuva Faraona rokā, un viņš tos ļaudis pārcēla pilsētās, no viena Ēģiptes robežu gala līdz otram galam.
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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 “You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
Un tie sacīja: tu mūs esi uzturējis dzīvus; lai žēlastību atrodam sava kunga acīs, tad mēs būsim Faraona kalpi.
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.
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 The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
Un Israēls mita Ēģiptē Gošenes zemē, un tur uzturējās un auga un vairojās ļoti.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
Un Jēkabs dzīvoja Ēģiptes zemē septiņpadsmit gadus, un Jēkaba dienas bija simts četrdesmit un septiņi gadi.
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.
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 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.
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 “Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
Tad viņš sacīja: zvērē man. Un tas viņam zvērēja. Un Israēls pielūdza Dievu savas gultas galvgalā.
