< 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."
Basa ma, Yusuf no toronoo nara lima reu risiꞌ maneꞌ a. Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Au ama ngga no odꞌi-aꞌa nggara rema mia Kanaꞌan ena. Ara rema rendi banda hiek-lombo, sapi, ma sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara. Basa se sia Gosen ena.”
2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.
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."
Boe ma maneꞌ a natane nae, “Hei ue-tatao ma saa?” Rataa rae, “Hai manatadꞌa onaꞌ hai bei-baꞌi mara.
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."
Aleꞌ ia, sia rae Kanaꞌan ndoe-laꞌas naseliꞌ de nda hambu nanaat ma uru sa ena. Naa de, hai ima sia nusaꞌ ia fo leo miꞌitataaꞌ. Hai o mendi banda mara boe. De hai mae moꞌe ama maneꞌ, fo leo sia Gosen, fo miꞌiboi banda ra sia naa.”
5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,
Boe ma maneꞌ a nafadꞌe hihii-nanau na neu Yusuf nae, “Ia naa, ama ma no odꞌi-aꞌa mara sia ia ena.
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."
De ara bole tao nusaꞌ ia onaꞌ sira nusa na. Au uhine ngga, Gosen naa, mamana maloleꞌ sia nusaꞌ ia. De malole lenaꞌ ara leo siaꞌ a naa leo. Ma mete ma sira rahine tao-mataꞌ neu banda no maloleꞌ, naa, onaꞌ bee na ara tao-mataꞌ neu banda nggara sia naa boe.”
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Basa naa ma, Yusuf natudꞌu ama na neu maneꞌ a. De Yakob hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, noꞌe papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee maneꞌ a.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"
Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a natane e nae, “Amaꞌ too hira ena?”
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."
Yakob nataa nae, “Au usodꞌa too natun esa telu nulu ena, te au nda leo sia mamanaꞌ esaꞌ a sa. Au bei-baꞌi nggara o onaꞌ naa boe. Te au too ngga memaꞌ eꞌekuꞌ lenaꞌ se. Ma sofeꞌ no doidꞌosoꞌ.”
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.
Basa de Yakob natea maneꞌ a. Ana nda feꞌe lao sa, te ana noꞌe Lamatualain fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu maneꞌ a fai.
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.
Yusuf tungga maneꞌ a oꞌola na, de natudꞌu mamanaꞌ fee se sia Gosen. Mamanaꞌ naa maloleꞌ. (Dei de ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa ‘Rameses’.) Basa de Yusuf ama na no odi-aꞌa nara leo rakandoo sia naa.
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 o banggi-bꞌae nanaat fee ama na, odi-aꞌa nara, ro basa sao-ana nara, tungga sira ume isi nara dedꞌesi nara.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ, de sia bee-bꞌee nanaat nese. Mia Masir losa Kanaꞌan atahori ra masaloe ena. Ara nda tao rala saa-saa saꞌ boe, huu ndoe ritaꞌ a mamate nara.
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.
Naa de, atahori mia basa mamanaꞌ sia Masir no Kanaꞌan, rema hasa nanaat sia Yusuf. Ana naduru doiꞌ ra, de neu mbedꞌa sia maneꞌ a ume na.
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."
Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, atahori Masir ro Kanaꞌan ra doi nara basa se ena. De ara nda hasa rala nanaat sa ena. Ara risiꞌ Yusuf, ma roꞌe rae, “Ama fetor e! Fee hai nanaat dei, fo hai afiꞌ mate ndoes. Te basa hai doi mara ena.”
16 Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."
Yusuf nataa nae, “Mete ma memaꞌ hei doiꞌ nese ena, naa, taꞌo ia: fee banda mara fo nggati no nanaat.”
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.
De ara fee banda nara reu Yusuf, fo nggati no nanaat. Ara fee ndara, hiek-lombo, sapi no keledei nara. No taꞌo naa, ara rasodꞌa tooꞌ naa, huu Yusuf tao taꞌo naa.
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.
Manafali ma, ara rema risiꞌ Yusuf rae, “Ama fetor e! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai doi ma no banda mara, amaꞌ nggati mala basa se ena. Nda afiꞌ hela saa saꞌ boe. Helaꞌ a hai ao ma no rae ma.
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."
Dadꞌi afiꞌ hela hai mate. Mete ma hai mate, seka mana tao mataꞌ neu rae ra? Malole lenaꞌ, ama fetor haꞌi mala hai dadꞌi ate. Haꞌi mala hai rae ma dadꞌi amaꞌ ena na boe. Ma fee fini-ngges fo hai sela fee amaꞌ. Hai bebengge ma, no rae a, amaꞌ nggati no nanaat. Sadꞌi hai afiꞌ mate!”
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.
Huu ndoe-laꞌas boe fua, naa de basa atahori Masir ra seo hendiꞌ rae nara. De Yusuf hasa nala basa rae sia Masir, dadꞌi maneꞌ a enan.
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.
Naa de, basa rauinggu Masir ra dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate na.
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.
Te mia basa e, Yusuf nda hasa malangga agama ra rae na sa, huu maneꞌ a fee se nanaat nakandooꞌ a. Naa de, ara nda parlu seo rae nara sa.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf olaꞌ no manggaraun nara nae, “Ia naa hei dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate na. Basa hei rae ma, au hasa ala fee maneꞌ a ena. De mala fini-ngges ia ra, fo mii sela neu rae ra leo.
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."
Dei fo oru naa, banggi neu lima. Babanggiꞌ esa mendi fee neu maneꞌ a. Hela babanggiꞌ haa, hei tao neu fini, ma mo ume isi mara mia.”
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."
Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ fee masodꞌaꞌ nema hai. Huu naa, hai moꞌe makasi. Hai mae dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate nara.”
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 tao hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa dadꞌi adat sia Masir. Mia basa are fo manggaraun ra oru, ara banggi neu lima. Babanggiꞌ esa fee neu maneꞌ a. Ma babanggiꞌ haa, ara soa. Akaꞌ a malangga agama ra rae nara, maneꞌ a nda hasa sa. Adat naa, feꞌe sia losa faiꞌ ia.
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.
Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori Israꞌel ra leo rakandoo sia Masir, sia rae Gosen. Ara ramasuꞌi, ma tititi-nonosi nara boe ramaheta.
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.
Yakob feꞌe nasodꞌa too sanahulu hitu fai sia Masir. De ana too natun esa haa nulu hitu.
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,
Fai mamate na deka-deka boe, ana noꞌe Yusuf de nafadꞌe nae, “Ana Usu e! Au duꞌa-duꞌa na nda doo sa ena, Lamatualain noꞌe baliꞌ au. Dadꞌi au oꞌe, mete ma sue au, naa, teꞌa fo afiꞌ muꞌoi au sia rae Masir ia.
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."
Musi mendi baliꞌ au ao sisi ngga, nisiꞌ bei-baꞌi tara mamana na. Muꞌoi au sia naa, huu naa, au hiihii ngga.” Yusuf nataa nae, “Malole, amaꞌ! Mete ma amaꞌ nau taꞌo naa, naa, au tunggaꞌ a.”
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.
Yakob olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Te, mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, oras ia ho teꞌa dei, mae ho tungga amaꞌ hihiin.” De Yusuf teꞌa tungga Yakob oꞌola na. Basa naa ma, Yakob sendeꞌ lululangga na neu koi ata de hule-oꞌe noꞌe makasi neu Lamatualain.
