< Genesis 47 >
1 And he went Joseph and he told to Pharaoh and he said father my and brothers my and flock[s] their and herd[s] their and all that [belongs] to them they have come from [the] land of Canaan and there they [are] in [the] land of Goshen.
Apre sa, Jozèf al avèti farawon an li di l': -Men papa m' ak frè m' yo rive soti nan peyi Kanaran, yo vini ak mouton yo, bèf yo ak tout sa yo genyen. Koulye a menm yo Gochenn.
2 And from [the] end of brothers his he took five men and he presented them before Pharaoh.
Jozèf te pran senk nan frè l' yo avèk li, li prezante yo bay farawon an.
3 And he said Pharaoh to brothers his what? [are] work your and they said to Pharaoh [are] herder[s] of sheep servants your both we as well as fathers our.
Farawon an di yo konsa: -Ki metye nou? Yo reponn li: -Metye nou se gade bèt tankou zansèt nou yo.
4 And they said to Pharaoh to sojourn in the land we have come for there not [is] pasture for the sheep which [belongs] to servants your for [was] heavy the famine in [the] land of Canaan and therefore let them dwell please servants your in [the] land of Goshen.
Apre sa, yo di farawon an: -Nou vin pou nou ka rete nan peyi a, paske pa gen manje ankò nan peyi nou pou bèt yo manje. Lèfini, grangou a rèd anpil nan peyi Kanaran. Tanpri, ban nou pèmisyon pou nou rete nan peyi Gochenn lan.
5 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph saying father your and brothers your they have come to you.
Farawon an di Jozèf: -Men papa ou ak frè ou yo vin jwenn ou isit la.
6 [the] land of Egypt [is] before you it in [the] best of the land cause to dwell father your and brothers your let them dwell in [the] land of Goshen and if you know and there among them [are] men of ability and you will appoint them overseers of livestock over [that] which [belongs] to me.
tout peyi Lejip la la devan ou. Chwazi pi bon tè nan peyi a, ba yo l' pou rete. Yo mèt rete sou tè Gochenn lan. Epi, si ou konnen gen nan mitan yo moun ki kapab pran swen bèt pa m' yo, ou mèt ba yo bèt mwen yo gade.
7 And he brought Joseph Jacob father his and he made stand him before Pharaoh and he blessed Jacob Pharaoh.
Apre sa, Jozèf fè papa l' vini, li prezante l' bay farawon an. Lè Jakòb fin di farawon an bonjou,
8 And he said Pharaoh to Jacob how many? [are] [the] days of [the] years of life your.
farawon an mande l': -Ki laj ou?
9 And he said Jacob to Pharaoh [the] days of [the] years of sojournings my [are] thirty and one hundred year[s] few and displeasing they have been [the] days of [the] years of life my and not they have reached [the] days of [the] years of [the] lives of ancestors my in [the] days of sojournings their.
Jakòb reponn li: -Mwen gen santrantan (130 an) depi m'ap moute desann sou latè. Men, mwen poko prèt pou m' rive laj zansèt mwen yo te rive lè yo t'ap fè moute desann pa yo. Mwen pa gen anpil laj, se vre. Men, mwen pa manke bat mizè.
10 And he blessed Jacob Pharaoh and he went out from to before Pharaoh.
Jakòb di farawon an orevwa, epi li ale.
11 And he caused to dwell Joseph father his and brothers his and he gave to them a possession in [the] land of Egypt in [the] best of the land in [the] land of Rameses just as he had commanded Pharaoh.
Jozèf fè papa l' ak frè l' yo rete nan peyi Lejip. Li ba yo tè bò lavil Ranmsès, jan farawon an te mande l' la. Li ba yo yon bon tè nan peyi a.
12 And he provided for Joseph father his and brothers his and all [the] household of father his food to [the] mouth of the little one[s].
Jozèf te bay papa l', frè l' yo ak tout fanmi yo kantite manje yo te bezwen pou mezi timoun yo te genyen.
13 And [was] food there not in all the land for [was] heavy the famine very and it languished [the] land of Egypt and [the] land of Canaan because of the famine.
Grangou a te rèd anpil toupatou. pa t' gen manje ankò. Moun peyi Lejip ak moun peyi Kanaran yo t'ap fin deperi anba grangou a.
14 And he gathered up Joseph all the money which was found in [the] land of Egypt and in [the] land of Canaan for the grain which they [were] buying grain and he brought Joseph the money [the] house of towards Pharaoh.
Jozèf te fin ranmase dènye lajan moun peyi Lejip ak moun peyi Kanaran te genyen nan vann yo ble. Li pote tout lajan an lakay farawon an.
15 And it was finished the money from [the] land of Egypt and from [the] land of Canaan and they came all Egypt to Joseph saying give! to us food and why? will we die before you for it has come to an end money.
Lè tout lajan moun yo fini nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Kanaran, tout moun peyi Lejip yo vin jwenn Jozèf, yo di l': -Ban nou manje non, souple. Pa kite nou mouri. Fè kichòy pou nou, nou pa gen lajan ankò.
16 And he said Joseph give livestock your so let me give [it] to you for livestock your if it has come to an end money.
Jozèf di yo: -Si nou pa gen lajan, mennen bèt nou yo vini, n'a boukante yo pou manje.
17 And they brought livestock their to Joseph and he gave to them Joseph food for the horses and for [the] livestock of the flock[s] and for [the] livestock of the herd[s] and for the donkeys and he refreshed them with food for all livestock their in the year that.
Se konsa, yo mennen bèt yo bay Jozèf pou fè boukantay. Li ba yo manje, yo ba li chwal, bèf, mouton, bourik. Pandan tout lanne a, li boukante manje ak yo pou valè bèt yo te genyen.
18 And it was finished the year that and they came to him in the year second and they said to him not we will hide from lord my that except it has been finished the money and [the] livestock of the cattle [is] to lord my not it is left before lord my except body our and land our.
Apre lanne a fin pase, yo tounen bò kote Jozèf ankò. Yo di li: -Nou p'ap kapab kache ou sa, mèt. Lajan nou fini nèt. Nou deja ba ou tout bèt nou te genyen. Koulye a, mèt, se tè nou yo ak pwòp tèt nou ase ki rete pou n' ba ou.
19 Why? will we die to eyes your both we as well as land our buy us and land our for food so we may be we and land our slaves of Pharaoh and give seed so we may live and not we will die and the land not it will be desolate.
Pa kite nou mouri. Fè kichòy pou nou! Pa kite nou pèdi tè nou yo. Fè pri pou nou menm ansanm ak tout tè nou yo. N'ap tounen esklav farawon an. Tè nou yo va pou li tou. Men, ban nou plan pou nou simen nan jaden nou yo pou nou pa mouri, pou tè a pa fin tounen savann.
20 And he bought Joseph all [the] land of Egypt to Pharaoh for they sold Egypt everyone field his for it was severe on them the famine and it be[longed] the land to Pharaoh.
Se konsa Jozèf achte tout tè Lejip la pou farawon an. tout moun peyi Lejip yo te vann li tè yo paske grangou a t'ap fini ak yo. tout peyi a vini pou farawon an.
21 And the people he brought in it to the cities from [the] end of [the] territory of Egypt and to end its.
Jozèf fè tout moun toupatou nan peyi a tounen esklav farawon an.
22 Only [the] land of the priests not he bought for an allowance [belonged] to the priests from with Pharaoh and they eat allowance their which he gave to them Pharaoh there-fore not they sold land their.
Se te prèt yo ase li pa t' manyen. Prèt yo pa t' bezwen tè pou yo manje, paske, dapre yon lwa ki gen nan peyi a, se farawon an menm ki te toujou peye yo. Se ak lajan sa a yo te viv.
23 And he said Joseph to the people here! I have bought you this day and land your for Pharaoh here! for you [is] seed and you will sow the land.
Jozèf di pèp la: -Jòdi a, mwen achte nou ansanm ak tout tè nou yo pou farawon an. Men grenn m'ap ban nou pou nou plante nan jaden nou yo.
24 And it will be at the harvest and you will give a fifth to Pharaoh and [the] four the hands it will be[long] to you to [the] seed of the field and to food your and for [those] who [are] in households your and to eat for little one[s] your.
Lè sezon rekòt la va rive, n'a bay farawon an yon senkyèm (1/5) nan tou sa nou rekòlte. Rès la va pou nou, pou nou plante nan jaden nou yo, pou nou manje nou menm ansanm ak pitit nou yo ak tout moun ki lakay nou.
25 And they said you have preserved alive us may we find favor in [the] eyes of lord my and we will be slaves of Pharaoh.
Yo reponn li: -Ou sove lavi nou! Sèl sa nou mande ou, se pou ou aji byen ak nou. N'ap rete esklav farawon an.
26 And he established it Joseph to a statute until the day this on [the] land of Egypt [belongs] to Pharaoh to the fifth part only [the] land of the priests to alone them not it belonged to Pharaoh.
Se konsa, Jozèf te pase yon regleman pou tout peyi Lejip la: dapre regleman sa a ki la jouk koulye a toujou, se pou yo bay farawon an yon senkyèm sou chak rekòt. Se sèlman tè prèt yo ki pa t' pou farawon an.
27 And he dwelt Israel in [the] land of Egypt in [the] land of Goshen and they had possessions in it and they were fruitful and they multiplied exceedingly.
Moun Izrayèl yo te rete nan peyi Lejip sou tè Gochenn lan. Yo vin gen anpil byen. Yo te fè anpil anpil pitit. Yo t'ap fè toujou.
28 And he lived Jacob in [the] land of Egypt seven-teen year[s] and it was [the] days of Jacob [the] years of life his seven years and forty and one hundred year[s].
Jakòb pase disèt lanne nan peyi Lejip. Li te rive gen sankarannsèt (147) lanne sou tèt li.
29 And they drew near [the] days of Israel to die and he summoned - son his Joseph and he said to him if please I have found favor in view your put please hand your under thigh my and you will do with me loyalty and faithfulness may not please you bury me in Egypt.
Lè sa a, Izrayèl vin wè li pa t' gen lontan pou l' viv ankò. Li fè rele Jozèf, pitit li a, li di l' konsa: -Si ou renmen m' vre, tanpri, fè m' sèman. Mete men ou nan fant janm mwen, pwomèt mwen w'ap kenbe pawòl ou, ou p'ap janm trayi m'. Tanpri, pa antere m' nan peyi Lejip.
30 And I will lie down with ancestors my and you will carry me from Egypt and you will bury me in grave their and he said I I will do according to word your.
Mwen vle pou yo antere m' menm kote ak zansèt mwen yo, lè m aval jwenn fanmi mwen yo ki mouri deja a. Se pou ou pran kadav mwen, pote l' soti peyi Lejip, al antere l' nan kavo fanmi m' yo. Jozèf reponn li: -m'a fè jan ou mande m' lan.
31 And he said swear an oath! to me and he swore an oath to him and he bowed down Israel on [the] head of the bed.
Men, Jakòb di Jozèf konsa: -Fè m' sèman w'ap fè sa pou mwen! Jozèf sèmante ba li. Apre sa, Izrayèl bese kouche nan kabann li.
