Genesis 47
1 Then came Joseph and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Og Josef kom og forkyndte Farao det og sagde: Min Fader og mine Brødre og deres Faar og deres Øksne og alt det, de have, ere komne fra Kanaans Land; og se, de ere i Gosen Land.
2 And he took some of his brothers, five men, and presented them before Pharaoh.
Og af samtlige sine Brødre tog han fem Mænd og stillede dem for Farao.
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, as also our fathers.
Da sagde Farao til hans Brødre: Hvad er eders Haandtering? og de sagde til Farao: Dine Tjenere ere Faarehyrder, baade vi og vore Fædre.
4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; because there is no pasture for the flocks of thy servants, for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan; and now let thy servants dwell, we pray thee, in the land of Goshen.
Og de sagde til Farao: Vi ere komne at være fremmede i Landet; thi der er ingen Føde til det Kvæg, som dine Tjenere have; thi Hungeren er svar i Kanaans Land; og nu, kære, lad dine Tjenere bo i Gosen Land.
5 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, thus, Thy father and thy brothers are come unto thee:
Og Farao talede til Josef og sagde: Din Fader og dine Brødre ere komne til dig.
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land let thy father and brothers dwell; let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if thou knowest that there are among them men of activity, then appoint them rulers over my cattle.
Ægyptens Land ligger for dig, lad din Fader og dine Brødre bo paa det bedste Sted i Landet, lad dem bo i Gosen Land, og dersom du ved, at der er duelige Mænd iblandt dem, da sæt dem til Opsynsmænd over Kvæget, over det, som jeg har.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and placed him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Og Josef førte Jakob sin Fader ind og stillede ham for Faraos Ansigt, og Jakob velsignede Farao.
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
Og Farao sagde til Jakob: Hvor gammel er du?
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Og Jakob sagde til Farao: Min Udlændigheds Aars Dage ere hundrede og tredive Aar; faa og onde have mit Livs Aars Dage været og have ikke naaet til mine Fædres Livs Aars Dage i deres Udlændigheds Dage.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Og Jakob velsignede Farao og gik ud fra Farao.
11 And Joseph assigned places of residence for his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ra'meses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Men Josef lod sin Fader og sine Brødre bo og gav dem Ejendom i Ægyptens Land, paa det bedste Sted i Landet, i det Land Raamses, som Farao havde befalet.
12 And Joseph supplied his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, in proportion to their families.
Og Josef underholdt sin Fader og sine Brødre og alt sin Faders Hus med Brød til de smaa Børns Mund.
13 And there was no bread in all the land: for the famine was very sore; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Og der var ikke Brød i alt Landet; thi Hungeren var saare svar, saa at Ægyptens Land og Kanaans Land forsmægtede for Hungerens Skyld.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
Og Josef samlede alle Pengene, som fandtes i Ægyptens Land og i Kanaans Land, for det Korn, som de købte, og Josef lod Pengene komme i Faraos Hus.
15 And when the money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence, since the money is all gone?
Og da det var forbi med Pengene i Ægyptens Land og i Kanaans Land, da kom alle Ægypterne til Josef og sagde: Fly os Brød, og hvi skulle vi dø for dig? thi Pengene ere borte.
16 And Joseph said, Give up your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if the money be all gone.
Og Josef sagde: Flyr hid eders Kvæg, saa vil jeg give eder Brød for eders Kvæg, dersom Pengene ere borte.
17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks of sheep, and for the herds of cattle, and for the asses; and he supplied them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
Saa førte de deres Kvæg til Josef, og Josef gav dem Brød for Hestene og for Kvæget, som de ejede, og for Øksnene, som de ejede, og for Asenerne; saa hjalp han dem med Brød for alt deres Kvæg i det samme Aar.
18 And when that year was ended, they came unto him in the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money with our herds of cattle hath entirely passed into the possession of my lord; there is naught left in sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our land.
Der det samme Aar havde Ende, da kom de i det andet Aar til ham og sagde til ham: Vi ville ikke dølge for min Herre, at ikke alene Pengene ere borte, men og Kvæget, som vi ejede, er kommet til min Herre; vi have intet tilbage til min Herre, uden vore Legemer og vor Jord.
19 Wherefore shall we die before thy eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread; and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not rendered desolate.
Hvi skulle vi dø for dine Øjne, baade vi og tilmed vor Jord blive øde? køb os og vor Jord for Brød; og vi med vor Jord ville være Faraos Tjenere, og giv os Sæd, at vi maa leve og ikke dø, og Jorden ikke blive øde.
20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
Og Josef købte af Ægyptens Jord til Farao; thi Ægypterne solgte hver sin Ager, fordi Hungeren var svar over dem; og Landet blev Faraos.
21 And as for the people, he removed them to the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end thereof.
Og han lod Folket flytte om i Stæderne, fra den ene Ende af Ægyptens Land til den anden.
22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore they did not sell their land.
Alene Præsternes Jord købte han ikke; thi Præsterne havde deres beskikkede Del af Farao; og de aade deres beskikkede Del, som Farao havde givet dem, derfor solgte de ikke deres Jord.
23 Then said Joseph unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow ye the land.
Da sagde Josef til Folket: Se, jeg har i Dag købt eder og eders Jord til Farao, se, der have I Sæd, og I skulle besaa Jorden.
24 And it shall come to pass in the harvest times, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh; and four parts shall be your own, for the seed of the field, and for your food, and for those belonging to your households, and for food for your little ones.
Og med Afgrøden skal det være saaledes, at I skulle give Farao den femte Part, og de fire Parter skulle I beholde til Sæd til Ageren og til Spise for eder og for dem, som ere i eders Huse, og til eders smaa Børn at æde.
25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us but find grace in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Og de sagde: Du har holdt os ved Live, lad os finde Naade for min Herres Øjne, og vi ville være Faraos Trælle.
26 And Joseph made it a statute unto this day over the land of Egypt, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh's.
Saa gjorde Josef det til en Skik indtil denne Dag over Ægyptens Jord, at Farao skal have den femte Part; ikkun Præsternes Jord, den alene, blev ikke Faraos.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Og Israel boede i Ægyptens Land, i Gosen Land; og de fik Ejendom der og vare frugtbare og bleve saare mangfoldige.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty and seven years.
Og Jakob levede i Ægyptens Land sytten Aar; og Jakobs Dage, hans Livs Aar, vare hundrede og syv og fyrretyve Aar.
29 And when the time of Israel drew near that he was to die, he sent to call his son Joseph, and said unto him, if now I have found grace in thy eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh; and deal with me in kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.
Og Israels Dage kom nær, at han skulde dø, og han kaldte ad sin Søn Josef og sagde til ham: Kære, dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dig, da læg, kære, din Haand under min Lænd, og bevis den Miskundhed og Troskab mod mig, at du, kære, ikke begraver mig i Ægypten.
30 But when I shall lie with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
Og jeg vil ligge hos mine Fædre, og du skal føre mig af Ægypten og begrave mig i deres Grav; og han sagde: Jeg vil gøre, som du har sagt.
31 And he said, Swear unto me; and he swore unto him; and Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
Men han sagde: Sværg mig; og han svor ham; og Israel bøjede sig over Hovedgærdet i Sengen.
