Genesis 47
1 Then came Ioseph and tolde Pharaoh, and sayde, My father, and my brethren, and their sheepe, and their cattell, and all that they haue, are come out of the land of Canaan, and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Jozefi akendeki mpe alobaki na Faraon: — Tata na ngai elongo na bandeko na ngai bayei wuta na mokili ya Kanana na bameme, bantaba, bangombe mpe biloko na bango nyonso; bazali sik’oyo na Gosheni.
2 And Ioseph tooke part of his brethren, euen fiue men, and presented them vnto Pharaoh.
Jozefi aponaki bandeko na ye mitano mpe alakisaki bango epai ya Faraon.
3 Then Pharaoh said vnto his brethren, What is your trade? And they answered Pharaoh, Thy seruants are shepheards, both we and our fathers.
Faraon atunaki bandeko ya Jozefi: — Bosalaka mosala nini? Bazongiselaki Faraon: — Basali na yo bazali babateli bibwele ndenge kaka bakoko na biso bazalaki.
4 They sayde moreouer vnto Pharaoh, For to soiourne in ye lande are we come: for thy seruants haue no pasture for their sheepe, so sore is ye famine in the lande of Canaan. Nowe therefore, we pray thee, let thy seruants dwel in the land of Goshen.
Balobaki lisusu na Faraon: — Toyei kovanda awa, pamba te nzala makasi ezali kati na mokili ya Kanana mpe matiti ezali lisusu te mpo na bibwele ya basali na yo; yango wana, tobondeli yo, pesa basali na yo nzela ya kovanda na Gosheni.
5 Then spake Pharaoh to Ioseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come vnto thee.
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Tata na yo mpe bandeko na yo bayei epai na yo;
6 The lande of Egypt is before thee: in the best place of the land make thy father and thy brethren dwel: let the dwel in the land of Goshen: and if thou knowest that there be men of actiuitie among them, make them rulers ouer my cattell.
mokili ya Ejipito mpe ezali na maboko na yo. Vandisa tata na yo mpe bandeko na yo na eteni ya mabele oyo eleki kitoko; tika ete bavanda na Gosheni. Mpe soki oyebi kati na bango bato ya mayele, pesa bango mokumba ya kobatela bibwele na ngai.
7 Ioseph also brought Iaakob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Iaakob saluted Pharaoh.
Jozefi amemaki tata na ye mpo na kolakisa ye epai ya Faraon. Tango Jakobi asilisaki kopambola Faraon,
8 Then Pharaoh sayde vnto Iaakob, Howe olde art thou?
Faraon atunaki Jakobi: — Ozali na mibu boni?
9 And Iaakob sayd vnto Pharaoh, The whole time of my pilgrimage is an hundreth and thirty yeeres: fewe and euill haue the dayes of my life bene, and I haue not attayned vnto the yeeres of the life of my fathers, in the dayes of their pilgrimages.
Jakobi azongiselaki Faraon: — Nazali na mibu nkama moko na tuku misato ya mbotama. Mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali moke mpe ya pasi, ekokokana te na mikolo ya bomoi ya bakoko na ngai.
10 And Iaakob tooke leaue of Pharaoh, and departed from the presence of Pharaoh.
Jakobi apambolaki Faraon mpe alongwaki liboso na ye.
11 And Ioseph placed his father, and his brethren, and gaue them possession in the lande of Egypt, in the best of the land, euen in the lande of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Jozefi avandisaki tata na ye mpe bandeko na ye na Ejipito mpe apesaki bango eteni ya mabele oyo eleki kitoko kati na mokili, na mabele ya Ramisesi, ndenge kaka Faraon atindaki.
12 And Ioseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his fathers houshold with bread, euen to the yong children.
Jozefi apesaki lisusu biloko ya kolia epai ya tata na ye, bandeko na ye mpe epai ya libota ya tata na ye mobimba kolanda motango ya bana na bango.
13 Now there was no bread in all the land: for the famine was exceeding sore: so that the land of Egypt, and the land of Canaan were famished by reason of the famine.
Biloko ya kolia ezalaki lisusu te kati na mokili mobimba mpe nzala makasi eyaki. Mokili ya Ejipito mpe oyo ya Kanana ekawukaki na nzala makasi.
14 And Ioseph gathered all the money, that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corne which they bought, and Ioseph layd vp the money in Pharaohs house.
Jozefi azwaki mbongo nyonso oyo azalaki kobomba tango bato ya mokili ya Ejipito mpe ya Kanana bazalaki kosomba ble epai na ye, amemaki yango na ndako ya Faraon.
15 So when money fayled in the lande of Egypt, and in the lande of Canaan, then all the Egyptians came vnto Ioseph, and sayde, Giue vs bread: for why should we dye before thee? for our money is spent.
Tango mbongo ya bato ya Ejipito mpe ya Kanana esilaki, bato nyonso ya Ejipito bayaki epai ya Jozefi mpe balobaki: — Pesa biso biloko ya kolia! Mpo na nini tokufa na nzala na miso na yo? Mpo ete mbongo na biso esili?
16 Then saide Ioseph, Bring your cattell, and I will giue you for your cattell, if your money be spent.
Jozefi azongisaki: — Soki bozali lisusu na mbongo te, bomemela ngai bibwele na bino. Bokopesa ngai bibwele na bino na esika ya mbongo.
17 So they brought their cattell vnto Ioseph, and Ioseph gaue them bread for the horses, and for the flockes of sheepe, and for the heards of cattel, and for the asses: so he fed them with bread for all their cattell that yeere.
Bamemaki epai ya Jozefi bampunda, bantaba mpe bangombe na bango; bongo Jozefi apesaki bango bilei na esika ya bampunda, ba-ane, bameme, bantaba mpe bangombe na bango. Na mibu nyonso wana oyo Jozefi azalaki kopesa bango bilei, bango bazalaki kopesa ye bibwele na bango.
18 But when the yeere was ended, they came vnto him the next yeere, and sayd vnto him, We will not hide from my lord, that since our money is spent, and my lord hath the heards of the cattel, there is nothing left in the sight of my lorde, but our bodies and our ground.
Tango mibu wana esilaki, bayaki lisusu epai na ye na mibu oyo elandaki. Balobaki: — Tokoki kobombela nkolo na biso te ete mbongo na biso esili mpe bibwele na biso ekomi ya yo. Totikali lisusu na eloko moko te longola kaka banzoto na biso mpe mabele na biso.
19 Why shall we perish in thy sight, both we, and our land? bye vs and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bonde to Pharaoh: therefore giue vs seede, that we may liue and not dye, and that the land go not to waste.
Mpo na nini, biso elongo na mabele na biso, tokufa na miso na yo? Somba biso kaka elongo na mabele na biso na motuya ya biloko ya kolia; mpe biso elongo na mabele na biso, tokokoma bawumbu ya Faraon. Toboyi na biso kokufa na nzala, pesa biso milona ya kolona mpo ete tobika mpe mabele na biso ekoma esobe te.
20 So Ioseph bought all the lande of Egypt for Pharaoh: for the Egyptians solde euery man his ground because the famine was sore vpon the: so the land became Pharaohs.
Jozefi asombaki mabele nyonso ya Ejipito mpo na Faraon, pamba te bato nyonso ya Ejipito batekaki bilanga na bango mpo ete nzala elekaki makasi. Boye mabele ekomaki ya Faraon.
21 And he remoued the people vnto the cities, from one side of Egypt euen to the other.
Jozefi akomisaki bavandi ya bingumba nyonso ya Ejipito bawumbu ya Faraon.
22 Onely the lande of the Priestes bought he not: for the Priestes had an ordinarie of Pharaoh, and they did eate their ordinarie, which Pharaoh gaue them: wherefore they solde not their grounde.
Kasi asombaki mabele ya banganga-nzambe te, pamba te bazalaki kozwa tango nyonso biloko ebele kolanda mobeko ya Faraon ete bazwaka biloko ya kolia. Yango wana, banganga-nzambe batekaki mabele na bango te.
23 Then Ioseph sayd vnto the people, Behold, I haue bought you this daye, and your lande for Pharaoh: lo, here is seede for you: sowe therefore the grounde.
Jozefi alobaki na bato: — Nasombi bino lelo mpo na Faraon, bino mpe mabele na bino. Tala milona mpo na bino mpo ete bokoka kolona mabele.
24 And of the encrease ye shall giue the fifth part vnto Pharaoh, and foure partes shalbe yours for the seede of the fielde, and for your meate, and for them of your housholdes, and for your children to eate.
Kasi tango bokobuka mbuma, bokopesa eteni ya mitano epai ya Faraon. Biteni minei oyo mosusu, bokobomba yango lokola milona mpo na bilanga mpe lokola biloko ya kolia mpo na bino moko, mpo na mabota na bino mpe mpo na bana na bino.
25 Then they answered, Thou hast saued our liues: let vs finde grace in the sight of my Lord, and we will be Pharaohs seruants.
Bazongisaki: — Obikisi bomoi na biso! Lokola tozwi ngolu na miso na yo nkolo na biso, tokozala bawumbu ya Faraon.
26 Then Ioseph made it a lawe ouer the land of Egypt vnto this day, that Pharaoh should haue the fift part, except the land of the priests only, which was not Pharaohs.
Bongo Jozefi akomisaki yango mobeko kino lelo kati na mabele ya Ejipito: eteni ya mitano ya bambuma nyonso oyo ekowuta na mabele ezali mpo na Faraon. Kasi mabele ya Banganga-Nzambe ekomaki ya Faraon te.
27 And Israel dwelt in the lande of Egypt, in the countrey of Goshen: and they had their possessions therein, and grewe and multiplied exceedingly.
Boye bana ya Isalaele bavandaki na Ejipito, na Gosheni. Kuna bakomaki na bozwi ebele, babotaki bana mpe bakomaki ebele.
28 Moreouer, Iaakob liued in the lande of Egypt seuenteene yeeres, so that the whole age of Iaakob was an hundreth fourtie and seuen yeere.
Jakobi awumelaki mibu zomi na sambo na Ejipito. Mpe mibu ya bomoi na ye ezalaki nkama moko na tuku minei na sambo.
29 Now when the time drewe neere that Israel must dye, he called his sonne Ioseph, and sayde vnto him, If I haue nowe founde grace in thy sight, put thine hand nowe vnder my thigh, and deale mercifully and truely with me: burie me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.
Tango mokolo ya kufa ya Isalaele ekomaki pene, abengaki Jozefi, mwana na ye ya mobali, mpe alobaki na ye: — Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, tia loboko na yo na se ya mopende na ngai; laka ngai ete okotalisa ngai bolamu mpe boyengebene, mpe okokunda ngai na Ejipito te.
30 But when I shall sleepe with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury mee in their buryall. And he answered, I will doe as thou hast sayde.
Kasi tango nakolala elongo na bakoko na ngai, okobimisa ngai na Ejipito mpe okokunda ngai na esika oyo bakunda bango. Jozefi azongisaki: — Nakosala ndenge olobi.
31 The he said, Sweare vnto me. And he sware vnto him. And Israel worshipped towardes the beds head.
Bongo Jakobi alobaki lisusu: — Lapa ndayi mpo na kolakisa ete okosala ndenge olobi. Boye, Jozefi alapaki ndayi na miso na ye; mpe Isalaele agumbamaki na koyekama na moto ya mbeto na ye.
