Genesis 47
1 And Joseph comes and declares [it] to Pharaoh, and says, “My father, and my brothers, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and behold, they [are] in the land of Goshen.”
Jusufu agĩthiĩ akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Baba na ariũ a baba hamwe na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe na indo ciao ciothe nĩmokĩte kuuma bũrũri wa Kaanani, na rĩu marĩ Gosheni.”
2 And out of his brothers he has taken five men, and sets them before Pharaoh;
Ningĩ agĩthuura ariũ a ithe atano na akĩmatwara mbere ya Firaũni.
3 and Pharaoh says to his brothers, “What [are] your works?” And they say to Pharaoh, “Your servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers”;
Firaũni akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutaga wĩra ũrĩkũ?” Nao magĩcookeria Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ ndungata ciaku tũrĩ arĩithi, o ta ũrĩa maithe maitũ maarĩ.”
4 and they say to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for the flock which your servants have, for the famine in the land of Canaan [is] grievous; and now, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
Ningĩ makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũũkĩte gũikara gũkũ kwa ihinda, tondũ ngʼaragu ĩno nĩ nene kũu Kaanani, na ndũũru cia ndungata ciaku nĩ ciagĩte ũrĩithio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio twagũthaitha wĩtĩkĩrie ndungata ciaku itũũre Gosheni.”
5 And Pharaoh speaks to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you:
Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Thoguo na ariũ a thoguo mokĩte kũrĩ we,
6 the land of Egypt is before you; cause your father and your brothers to dwell in the best of the land—they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if you have known, and there are among them men of ability, then you have set them [as] heads over the livestock I have.”
na bũrũri wa Misiri ũrĩ mbere yaku; he thoguo na ariũ a thoguo mwena ũrĩa mwega mũno wa bũrũri ũyũ. Reke maikare Gosheni. Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo nĩũũĩ amwe ao marĩ na ũũgĩ wa mwanya-rĩ, matue arũgamĩrĩri a mahiũ makwa.”
7 And Joseph brings in his father Jacob, and causes him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesses Pharaoh.
Ningĩ Jusufu akĩrehe ithe Jakubu mbere ya Firaũni. Na Jakubu aarĩkia kũrathima Firaũni-rĩ,
8 And Pharaoh says to Jacob, “How many [are] the days of the years of your life?”
Firaũni akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na mĩaka ĩigana?”
9 And Jacob says to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojournings [are] one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.”
Nake Jakubu akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Mĩaka yakwa ya kũũrũũra nĩ igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩtatũ. Mĩaka yakwa ĩkoretwo ĩrĩ mĩnini na ya mĩtangĩko, na ndĩigana mĩaka ya kũũrũũra kwa maithe makwa.”
10 And Jacob blesses Pharaoh, and goes out from before Pharaoh.
Jakubu agĩcooka akĩrathima Firaũni na akĩehera akiuma hau Firaũni aarĩ.
11 And Joseph settles his father and his brothers, and gives a possession to them in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩhe ithe na ariũ a ithe ũtũũro kũu Misiri na akĩmahe mĩgũnda mwena ũrĩa mwega mũno wa bũrũri ũcio, rũgongo rwa Ramesese o ta ũrĩa Firaũni aathanĩte.
12 and Joseph nourishes his father, and his brothers, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.
Ningĩ Jusufu nĩaheaga ithe na ariũ a ithe na andũ a nyũmba ya ithe othe irio kũringana na mũigana wa ciana ciao.
13 And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;
Na rĩrĩ, gũtiarĩ irio mwena ũcio wothe, tondũ ngʼaragu yarĩ nene mũno; na Misiri na Kaanani cierĩ nĩ ciahinyĩrĩrĩkĩte nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼaragu ĩyo.
14 and Joseph gathers all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain that they are buying, and Joseph brings the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
Jusufu akĩũngania mbeeca iria ciothe ingĩonekire bũrũri wa Misiri na wa Kaanani, irĩ irĩhi rĩa ngano ĩrĩa andũ maagũraga, nake agĩcitwara nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki ya Firaũni.
15 And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come to Joseph, saying, “Give bread to us—why do we die before you, though the money has ceased?”
Na rĩrĩa mbeeca cia andũ a Misiri na cia andũ a Kaanani ciathirire-rĩ, andũ a Misiri othe magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Jusufu, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũhe irio. Tũngĩgĩkua ũtwĩroreire nĩkĩ? Mbeeca ciitũ nĩithirĩte biũ.”
16 And Joseph says, “Give your livestock; and I give to you for your livestock, if the money has ceased.”
Nake Jusufu akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndeherai mahiũ manyu, na nĩngũmwenderia irio nĩ ũndũ wa mo tondũ mbeeca nĩ thiru.”
17 And they bring in their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gives to them bread, for the horses, and for the livestock of the flock, and for the livestock of the herd, and for the donkeys; and he tends them with bread, for all their livestock, during that year.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtwarĩra Jusufu mahiũ mao, nake akĩmakũũranĩria irio na mbarathi ciao, na ngʼondu na mbũri ciao, na ngʼombe na ndigiri ciao. Nake Jusufu akĩmateithĩrĩria mwaka ũcio wothe na irio, magĩcikũũrania na mahiũ mao mothe.
18 And that year is finished, and they come to him on the second year, and say to him, “We do not hide from my lord, that since the money has been finished, and possession of the livestock [is] to my lord, there has not been left before my lord except our bodies, and our ground;
Naguo mwaka ũcio wathira-rĩ, magĩũka kũrĩ we mwaka ũyũ ũngĩ, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩhota kũhitha mwathi witũ ũndũ, kuona atĩ mbeeca ciitũ nĩithirĩte, na mahiũ maitũ rĩu nĩ maku, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtigaire kĩa mwathi witũ tiga mĩĩrĩ iitũ na ithaka ciitũ.
19 why do we die before your eyes, both we and our ground? Buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and do not die, and the ground is not desolate.”
Tũngĩgĩkua ũtwĩroreire nĩkĩ, ithuĩ na ithaka ciitũ hamwe? Tũgũranĩrie hamwe na ithaka ciitũ, ũtũhe irio, na ithuĩ na ithaka ciitũ tũtuĩke ngombo cia Firaũni. Tũhe mbeũ nĩgeetha tũtũũre muoyo, tũtigakue, na nĩguo bũrũri witũ ndũkanangĩke.”
20 And Joseph buys all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have each sold his field, for the famine has been severe on them, and the land becomes Pharaoh’s;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩgũrĩra Firaũni bũrũri wothe wa Misiri. Nao andũ a Misiri makĩendia ithaka ciao, mũndũ o mũndũ, nĩ ũndũ ngʼaragu nĩyamahatĩrĩirie mũno. Naguo bũrũri wothe ũgĩtuĩka wa Firaũni.
21 as for the people, he has removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even to its [other] end.
Nake Jusufu agĩgĩtua andũ ngombo kuuma mwena ũmwe wa Misiri nginya ũrĩa ũngĩ.
22 Only the ground of the priests he has not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh has given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.
No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũgũra ithaka cia athĩnjĩri-ngai akuo, tondũ o maarĩ na igai maaheagwo nĩ Firaũni, na maarĩ na irio cia kũmaigana kuuma kũrĩ igai rĩu Firaũni aamaheaga. Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩatũmire mage kwendia ithaka ciao.
23 And Joseph says to the people, “Behold, I have bought you today and your ground for Pharaoh; behold, seed for you, and you have sown the ground,
Nake Jusufu akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tondũ ũmũthĩ nĩndamũgũra hamwe na ithaka cianyu mũtuĩke a Firaũni-rĩ, mbeũ cianyu nĩcio ici; oyai mũkahaande mĩgũnda.
24 and it has come to pass in the increases, that you have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.”
No rĩrĩa mũkaagetha, mũkaahe Firaũni gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatano. Icunjĩ icio ingĩ inya harĩ ithano no mwĩigĩre irĩ mbeũ cia kũhaanda na irio cianyu ene na cia nyũmba cianyu, na cia ciana cianyu.”
25 And they say, “You have revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh”;
Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩwahonokia mĩoyo iitũ. Tũroogĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ ma mwathi witũ; ithuĩ tũgũtũũra tũrĩ ngombo cia Firaũni.”
26 and Joseph sets it for a statute to this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh has a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone has not become Pharaoh’s.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jusufu akĩruta watho ũkoniĩ ithaka cia Misiri, na nĩũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ, atĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatano kĩa magetha nĩ kĩa Firaũni. No ithaka cia athĩnjĩri-ngai akuo itaatuĩkire cia Firaũni.
27 And Israel dwells in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;
Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra Misiri bũrũri-inĩ wa Gosheni. Makĩgĩa na indo kuo na magĩciarana, makĩingĩha mũno.
28 and Jacob lives in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are one hundred and forty-seven years.
Jakubu aikarire Misiri mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja, nayo mĩaka yake ĩrĩa aatũũrire muoyo yarĩ mĩaka igana rĩmwe na mĩrongo ĩna na mũgwanja.
29 And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calls for his son, for Joseph, and says to him, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, and you have done kindness and truth with me; please do not bury me in Egypt,
Na rĩrĩa ihinda rĩa Isiraeli rĩa gũkua rĩakuhĩrĩirie-rĩ, agĩtũmanĩra mũriũ wake Jusufu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku-rĩ, iga guoko gwaku rungu rwa kĩero gĩakwa, na ũnjĩĩre atĩ nĩũkanjĩka maũndũ ma ũtugi na ma wĩhokeku. Ndũkanaathike gũkũ Misiri,
30 and I have lain with my fathers, and you have carried me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.” And he says, “I do according to your word”;
no rĩrĩa ngaahurũka hamwe na maithe makwa, ũkanguua, ũndute Misiri, ũgaathike o harĩa mathikĩtwo.” Nake Jusufu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngeeka o ũguo woiga.”
31 and he says, “Swear to me”; and he swears to him, and Israel bows himself on the head of the bed.
Nake Isiraeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhĩte na mwĩhĩtwa.” Nake Jusufu akĩĩhĩta harĩ we na mwĩhĩtwa, nake Isiraeli akĩhooya enyiitĩrĩire mũthĩgi wake.
