Genesis 47
1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, they are in the land of Goshen."
Lalu Yusuf pergi menghadap raja Mesir dan melaporkan, “Baginda, ayah saya dan semua saudara saya sudah tiba dari Kanaan. Mereka membawa kawanan ternak dan segala harta benda mereka. Sekarang mereka sudah sampai di Gosyen.”
2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.
Yusuf juga membawa lima orang kakaknya menghadap raja.
3 Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."
Kemudian raja bertanya, “Apa mata pencaharian kalian?” Jawab mereka, “Kami gembala ternak turun temurun, sejak zaman nenek moyang kami.
4 And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
Negeri Kanaan sedang dilanda kekeringan. Kami kesulitan menggembalakan kawanan ternak. Karena itu, bila Baginda berkenan, kami mohon agar diizinkan menggembalakan kawanan ternak kami di Gosyen dan menetap untuk sementara waktu di situ.”
5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,
Raja berkata kepada Yusuf, “Ayahmu dan saudara-saudaramu sudah datang kepadamu.
6 and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."
Negeri Mesir terbuka bagimu. Gosyen adalah wilayah terbaik di negeri ini. Biarkanlah ayah dan saudara-saudaramu menetap di situ. Bila ada di antara mereka yang mahir menggembala, pekerjakanlah mereka untuk mengurus ternakku.”
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Lalu Yusuf mengajak ayahnya menghadap raja, dan Yakub memberkati raja.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"
Tanya raja kepada Yakub, “Berapakah usiamu?”
9 So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."
Jawab Yakub, “Hambamu ini sudah menjalani hidup yang penuh kesusahan sebagai pengembara selama seratus tiga puluh tahun. Itu sangat singkat dibandingkan usia nenek moyang saya dalam pengembaraan mereka.”
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.
Sebelum pamit, Yakub mengucapkan berkat perpisahan kepada raja.
11 Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Sesudah itu Yusuf membantu ayah dan saudara-saudaranya untuk menetap di tanah terbaik di Mesir, di daerah Rameses, sesuai perintah raja.
12 And Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.
Yusuf memberikan bahan makanan yang cukup untuk ayahnya, saudara-saudaranya, serta seluruh sanak saudara mereka menurut jumlah kebutuhan masing-masing keluarga.
13 Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because of the famine.
Bencana kelaparan semakin memburuk. Di mana-mana tidak ada makanan, sehingga seluruh penduduk Mesir dan Kanaan menderita karena kelaparan dahsyat itu.
14 Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's treasury.
Orang-orang Mesir dan Kanaan membeli bahan makanan dari Yusuf hingga semua uang mereka masuk ke kas Yusuf. Lalu dia menyerahkan uang itu kepada raja.
15 And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."
Ketika seluruh uang warga Mesir maupun Kanaan terpakai habis, orang-orang Mesir mendatangi Yusuf dan berkata, “Berilah kami makanan. Uang kami sudah habis. Haruskah kami mati kelaparan di hadapanmu?”
16 Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."
Yusuf menjawab, “Kalau kalian sudah tidak punya uang lagi, berikanlah ternak kalian sebagai pembayaran.”
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock for that year.
Maka mereka membawa hewan ternak kepada Yusuf untuk ditukar dengan bahan makanan. Ada yang membawa kuda, keledai, sapi, kambing, ataupun domba. Yusuf pun memberi mereka bahan makanan sebagai gantinya. Hal ini terjadi sepanjang tahun itu.
18 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except our bodies and our lands.
Pada tahun berikutnya, rakyat kembali menghadap Yusuf dan berkata, “Kami tidak dapat menyembunyikan dari Tuan bahwa uang kami sudah habis, dan semua hewan kami juga sudah menjadi milik Tuan. Tidak ada lagi yang dapat kami jual untuk makanan, kecuali tanah kami. Atau kami terpaksa menjual diri kami sebagai budak!
19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become desolate."
Apakah kami harus binasa di hadapanmu, dan tanah kami menjadi tandus?! Ambillah kami dan tanah kami sebagai pembayaran bahan makanan, karena kami sudah tidak punya apa-apa lagi. Biarlah kami menjadi budak raja dan tanah kami menjadi miliknya! Berilah kami benih untuk ditanam, agar kami tetap bertahan hidup dan tidak binasa, dan agar tanah kami tidak menjadi tandus!”
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on them. So the land became Pharaoh's.
Maka Yusuf membeli semua tanah di Mesir untuk raja. Para pemilik ladang terpaksa menjual ladang mereka karena bencana kelaparan begitu hebat. Semua ladang pun menjadi milik raja Mesir.
21 And as for the people, he subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt to the other end of it.
Lalu seluruh rakyat— dari ujung perbatasan Mesir sampai ke ujung perbatasan yang lain— dijadikan budak.
22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not have to sell their land.
Hanya tanah milik para imam Mesir yang tidak dibeli Yusuf, karena mereka menerima jatah makanan dari raja sehingga tidak perlu menjual tanah mereka.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in the land.
Yusuf berkata kepada rakyatnya, “Perhatikanlah, saya sudah membeli kalian dan ladang kalian untuk raja, maka tanamlah benih-benih ini.
24 And it will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as food for your little ones."
Pada waktu panen nanti, kalian wajib memberikan dua puluh persen kepada raja. Yang delapan puluh persen adalah milikmu untuk dijadikan benih dan untuk bahan makanan bagi anak-anakmu dan semua yang tinggal di rumahmu.”
25 Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."
Rakyat menjawab, “Tuan sudah menyelamatkan nyawa kami! Biarlah kami berkenan di hadapan Tuan. Kami akan menjadi budak raja.”
26 So Joseph made it a statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.
Yusuf menjadikan ketetapan itu sebagai undang-undang yang masih berlaku di Mesir hingga kitab ini ditulis, yaitu dua puluh persen dari semua hasil panen adalah milik raja. Hanya tanah para imam yang tidak menjadi milik raja.
27 So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.
Orang-orang Israel menetap di wilayah Gosyen. Mereka memiliki tanah di sana dan hidup mereka berhasil. Jumlah mereka semakin bertambah.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.
Yakub tinggal di Mesir selama tujuh belas tahun, sampai umurnya mencapai 147 tahun.
29 And the time approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,
Ketika Yakub sudah hampir mati, dia memanggil Yusuf dan berkata, “Kalau kamu benar-benar mengasihi aku, letakkan tanganmu di antara pangkal pahaku untuk menunjukkan kesetiaanmu memegang janji bahwa kamu tidak akan menguburkan aku di Mesir.
30 but when I lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."
Aku ingin dikubur bersama nenek moyangku. Sesudah aku mati, bawalah aku keluar dari Mesir dan kuburkanlah aku bersama mereka.” Jawab Yusuf, “Aku akan melaksanakan permintaan Ayah.”
31 Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.
Kata Yakub, “Bersumpahlah bahwa kamu akan melakukannya.” Maka Yusuf pun bersumpah. Lalu Yakub bersujud di tempat tidur, pada bagian di mana dia biasa meletakkan kepalanya, dan mengucap syukur kepada TUHAN.
