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.”
Konsa, Joseph te antre pou pale ak Farawon. Li te di: “Papa m avèk frè m yo, bann mouton yo, twoupo yo, avèk tout sa yo posede, te sòti nan peyi Canaan an. Epi gade byen, yo nan peyi Gosen.”
2 And out of his brothers he has taken five men, and sets them before Pharaoh;
Li te pran senk mesye pami frè li yo, e li te prezante yo bay Farawon.
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”;
Alò, Farawon te di a frè li yo: “Ki metye nou?” Epi yo te di a Farawon: “Sèvitè nou se bèje, ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo.”
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.”
Yo te di a Farawon: “Nou te vini pou rete tankou etranje nan peyi a, paske nanpwen patiraj pou bann mouton yo paske gwo grangou a rèd nan peyi Canaan. Alò pou sa, souple, kite sèvitè nou yo viv nan peyi Gosen an.”
5 And Pharaoh speaks to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you:
Konsa, Farawon te di a Joseph: “Papa ou avèk frè ou yo te vin kote ou.
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.”
Peyi Égypte la devan ou, plase papa ou avèk frè ou yo nan pi bon pòsyon tè a, kite yo viv nan peyi Gosen an. Epi si ou konnen moun ak kapasite pami yo, alò, fè yo responsab bèt mwen yo.”
7 And Joseph brings in his father Jacob, and causes him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesses Pharaoh.
Epi Joseph te mennen papa li, Jacob. Li te prezante li bay Farawon, epi Jacob te beni Farawon.
8 And Pharaoh says to Jacob, “How many [are] the days of the years of your life?”
Farawon te di a Jacob: “Konbyen ane ou gen tan viv?”
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.”
Konsa, Jacob te di a Farawon: “Lane lavi m yo sou latè se san-trant. Pa anpil, e degoutan se te ane lavi m yo. Ni yo pa menm fòs avèk lane ke zansèt mwen yo te viv pandan jou lavi pa yo.”
10 And Jacob blesses Pharaoh, and goes out from before Pharaoh.
Konsa, Jacob te beni Farawon, e li te sòti nan prezans li.
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;
Epi Joseph te pozisyone papa li, ak frè li yo e li te bay yo yon teren an Égypte, nan pi bon pati nan peyi a, kote Ramsès la, tankou Farawon te kòmande a.
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.
Joseph te founi papa li ak frè li yo, avèk tout lakay li avèk manje, selon fòs kantite pitit pa yo.
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;
Koulye a, pa t gen manje nan tout peyi a, akoz gwo grangou a te tèlman rèd, ke peyi Égypte la ak peyi Canaan an te febli nèt akoz gwo grangou a.
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.
Joseph te ranmase tout lajan ki te twouve nan peyi Égypte la, ak nan peyi Canaan pou sereyal ke yo te achte a, e Joseph te pote lajan an lakay Farawon.
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?”
Lè tout lajan an te fin depanse nan tout peyi Égypte la, ak tout peyi Canaan an, tout Ejipsyen yo te vin vè Joseph, e te di li: “Bannou manje, paske pou ki rezon nou ta dwe mouri nan prezans ou? Paske lajan nou fini.”
16 And Joseph says, “Give your livestock; and I give to you for your livestock, if the money has ceased.”
Alò, Joseph te di: “Bay bèt nou yo, e mwen va bannou manje pou bèt yo, paske kòb nou gen tan fini.”
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.
Epi yo te mennen bèt yo kote Joseph, Joseph te bay yo manje an echanj ak cheval ak bann mouton, twoupo ak bourik. Konsa, li te bay yo manje an echanj ak tout bèt pa yo nan ane sa a.
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;
Lè ane sa a te fini, yo te vin kote li nan lane pwochèn, e te di li: “Nou p ap kache a mèt nou ke lajan nou fin depanse, e tout twoupo bèt yo se pou mèt nou. Nanpwen anyen ki rete pou mèt la, sof ke kò nou, ak tè nou yo.
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.”
Poukisa nou ta mouri devan zye ou, ni nou menm, ni tè nou yo? Achte nou menm avèk tè nou yo, e nou va vin esklav a Farawon. Epi bannou semans pou nou ka viv, pou nou pa mouri, e pou tè a pa rete vid.”
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;
Alò, Joseph te achte tout tè an Égypte yo pou Farawon, e chak Ejipsyen te vann tè li, akoz ke gwo grangou a te rèd sou yo. Konsa, tè a te vin pou Farawon.
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.
Epi pou pèp la, li te deplase yo pou antre nan vil yo, sòti nan yon pwen fwontyè Égypte la, jis rive nan lòt la.
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.
Se sèl tè prèt yo ke li pa t achte, paske prèt yo te gen yon bous ki te sòti sou Farawon, e yo te viv sou bous ke Farawon te bay yo a. Akoz sa, yo pa t vann tè pa yo a.
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,
Epi Joseph te di a pèp la: “Veye byen, jodi a mwen te achte nou menm avèk tè nou yo pou Farawon. Men semans lan se pou nou, e nou kapab simen nan tè a.
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.”
Nan rekòlt la, nou va bay yon senkyèm a Farawon, e kat senkyèm nan ap rete pou nou pou simen nan tè a pou manje pou nou menm avèk sa ki lakay nou yo, ak pou pitit nou yo.”
25 And they say, “You have revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh”;
Epi yo te di: “Ou gen tan sove lavi nou! Kite nou twouve favè nan zye a mèt nou, e nou va vin esklav Farawon.”
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.
Joseph te fè yon règleman selon peyi Égypte la ki valab jis rive jou sa a ke Farawon te gen dwa a yon senkyèm nan. Sèl tè a prèt yo ki pa t vin pou Farawon.
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;
Alò, Israël te viv nan peyi Égypte la, nan Gosen. Yo te gen tèren ladann, yo te vin trè pwodiktif, e yo te peple anpil.
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.
Jacob te viv nan peyi Égypte pandan disèt ane'. Pou sa, fòs lavi li te san-karant-sèt ane.
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,
Lè pou Israël mouri an t ap pwoche. Li te rele fis li, Joseph, e te di li: “Souple, si mwen te twouve favè nan zye ou, koulye a plase men ou anba fant janm mwen, e aji avèk mwen nan bòn fwa ak tandrès. Souple, pa antere mwen an Égypte,
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”;
men lè m kouche avèk zansèt mwen yo, nou va pote mwen deyò de Égypte, pou antere mwen nan plas antèman a yo menm nan.” Epi Joseph te di: “M ap fè jan ou di m nan.”
31 and he says, “Swear to me”; and he swears to him, and Israel bows himself on the head of the bed.
Konsa, li te di: “Sèmante ban mwen.” Epi li te sèmante ba li. Epi Israël te bese pou adore nan tèt kabann nan.
