< Genesis 47 >

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers, their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have arrived from the land of Canaan. See, they are in the land of Goshen.”
HELE ae la o Iosepa, hai aku la ia Parao, i aku la, Ua hiki mai nei ko'u makuakane a me ko'u poe hanauna, a me ka lakou hipa, a me ka lakou holoholona, a me ka lakou mea a pau, mai ka aina mai o Kanaana, aia hoi lakou ma ka aina, i Gosena.
2 He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.
Lawe ae la ia i elima o kona poe hanauna, hoonoho iho la ia lakou imua o Parao.
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our ancestors.”
Olelo mai la o Parao i na hoahanau o Iosepa, Heaha ka oukou oihana? I mai la lakou ia Parao, He poe kahuhipa kau poe kauwa nei, o makou a me ko makou poe makua.
4 Then they said to Pharaoh, “We come as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks, because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”
I hou mai la lakou ia Parao, Ua hele mai nei makou e noho ma keia aina, no ka mea, aole ai na ka poe holoholona a kau poe kauwa, no ka nui o ka wi ma ka aina o Kanaana. No ia mea, ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e noho makou ma ka aina i Gosena.
5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
A olelo mai la o Parao ia Iosepa, i mai la, Ua hiki mai iou la kou makuakane a me na hoahanau ou.
6 The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best region, the land of Goshen. If you know any capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”
O ka aina o Aigupita, eia no ia imua ou: i ka aina maikai nui, e hoonoho ai oe i kou makuakane a me na hoahanau ou: e noho iho lakou i ka aina o Gosena. A ina i ike oe i na kanaka akamai o lakou, e hoonoho oe ia lakou i mau kahu no ka'u poe holoholona,
7 Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and presented him to Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Alakai mai la o Iosepa ia Iakoba i kona makuakane, a hoonoho mai la ia ia imua o Parao. Hoomaikai aku la o Iakoba ia Parao.
8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How long have you lived?”
Ninau mai la o Parao ia Iakoba, Ehia la na makahiki o kou ola ana?
9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my travels are a hundred and thirty. The years of my life have been few and painful. They have not been as long as those of my ancestors.”
I aku la o Iakoba ia Parao, O na la o ko'u mau makahiki i noho malihini ai, hookahi ia haneri makahiki a me kanakolu. He hapa a he ino hoi na la o ko'u mau makahiki e ola nei; aole nae i loaa ia'u na la a me na makahiki o ko'u poe kupuna i ko lakou noho malihini ana.
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
Hoomaikai aku la o Iakoba ia Parao, a hele aku la mai ke alo aku o Parao.
11 Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them a territory in the land of Egypt, the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Hoonoho iho la o Iosepa i kona makuakane a me kona poe hoahanau, a haawi aku la oia ia lakou i wahi e noho ai ma ka aina o Aigupita, i kahi aina maikai, i ka aina o Ramese, e like me ke kanoha ana mai a Parao.
12 Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father's household, according the number of their dependents.
Malama aku la o Iosepa i kona makuakane, a me kona poe hoahanau, a me ka ohana a kona makuakane a pau i ka ai, e like me na waha o ka ohana.
13 Now there was no food in all the land; for the famine was severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away because of the famine.
Aole ai ma ka aina a pau, no ka mea, ua hanahana loa ka wi. Oki loa iho la ka aina o Aigupita a me ka aina o Kanaana i ka wi.
14 Joseph gathered all the money that was in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, by selling grain to the inhabitants. Then Joseph brought the money to Pharaoh's palace.
Hooiliili iho la o Iosepa i ke kala a pau loa ma ka aina o Aigupita, a ma ka aina o Kanaana, no ka ai a lakou i kuai ai; a lawe mai la o Iosepa i ke kala iloko o ka hale o Parao.
15 When all the money of the lands of Egypt and Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph saying, “Give us food! Why should we die in your presence because our money is gone?”
Pau iho la ko kala ma ka aina o Aigupita, a ma ka aina o Kanaana, a hele mai la ko Aigupita a pau io Iosepa la, i mai la, Ho mai i ai na makou, no ke aha la makou e make ai imua o kou alo i ka pau ana o ke kala?
16 Joseph said, “If your money is gone, bring your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”
I mai la Iosepa ia lakou, Ina i pau ke kala, ho mai i ka oukou holoholona, a e haawi aku au i ai na oukou no ka oukou holoholona.
17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph. Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, for the flocks, for the herds, and for the donkeys. He fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year.
Lawe mai la lakou i ka lakou holoholona ia Iosepa, a haawi aku la o Iosepa i ai na iakou, no na lio, a no na hipa, a no na bipi, a no na hoki, a malama aku la oia ia lakou i ka ai ia makahiki, no ka lakou holoholona.
18 When that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my master that our money is all gone, and the herds of cattle are my master's. There is nothing left in the sight of my master, except our bodies and our land.
A pau ae la ia makahiki, hele mai la lakou ia ia, i ka lua o na makahiki, i mai la ia ia, Aole makou e huna mai ko makou haku aku, i ka pau ana o ko makou kala, a me ka makou holoholona ia oe i ko makou haku. Aohe mea i koe imua ou, o ko makou kino, a me ko makou aina wale no.
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 that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
No ke aha la makou e make ai imua o kou mau maka, o makou a me ko makou aina! E kuai oe ia makou a me ko makou aina, no ka ai, a lilo makou a me ko makou aina i kauwa na Parao. E haawi mai hoi i hua, i ola makou, sole hoi e make, i ole ai e neoneo ka aina.
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was very severe. In this way, the land became Pharaoh's.
Kuai iho la o Iosepa i ka aina a pau i Aigupita no Parao, no ka mea, kuai aku la na kanaka a pau o Aigupita i ko lakou aina, no ka mea, ua hauahana loa ka wi maluna o lakou, a lilo ae la ka aina no Parao.
21 As for the people, he made them slaves from one end of Egypt's border to the other end.
A lawe ae la ia i kanaka o kekahi kihi, a hoonoho ia lakou ma na kulanakauhale ma kela kihi o ka aina.
22 It was only the land of the priests that Joseph did not buy, because the priests were given an allowance. They ate from the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
O ka aina o na kahuna, aole ia i kuai, no ka mea, na Parao mai, ka na kahuna, a ai iho la lakou i ka mea a Parao i haawi mai ai na lakou, no ia mea, aole lakou i kuai i ko lakou aina.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, “See, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you will plant the land.
Olelo iho o Iosepa i kanaka, Eia hoi, ua kuai au ia oukou i keia la no Parao, a me ko oukou aina; eia no ka hua na oukou e kanu i ka aina.
24 At the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field and for food for your households and your children.”
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka hua ana mai, e haawi oukou i ka hapalima na Parao, a koe no eha mau hapa na oukou, i mea kanu o ka aina, a i mea ai na oukou, a na ko oukou kanaka, a i mea ai hoi na ka oukou kamalii.
25 They said, “You have saved our lives. May we find favor in your eyes. We will be Pharaoh's servants.”
I mai la lakou, Ua hoola mai oe ia makou, ina e loaa ia makou ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o na maka o ko'u haku, a e lilo auanei makou i poe kauwa na Parao.
26 So Joseph made it a statute which is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day, that one-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.
Hoopaa iho la o Iosepa ia mea i kanawai, mai ia manawa mai, ma ka aina o Aigupita, na Parao ka hapalima o ka ai; o ka aina o na kahuna wale no ka i koe, aole ia i lilo na Parao.
27 So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. His people gained possessions there. They were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
Noho iho la o Iseraela, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka aina o Gosena, a loaa mai la ia lakou ka waiwai ilaila, a hanau mai la lakou, a lilo ae la i poe nui loa.
28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so the years of Jacob's life were one hundred forty-seven years.
O na makahiki o ka noho ana o Iakoba i ka aina o Aigupita, he umikumamahiku: a o na makahiki a pau o ke ola ana o Iakoba, hookahi haneri makahiki a me kanahakumamahiku.
29 When the time approached for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh, and show me faithfulness and trustworthiness. Please do not bury me in Egypt.
A kokoke aku la ka la e make ai o Iseraela, hea aku la ia i kana keiki ia Iosepa, i aku la ia ia, Ina i loaa mai ia'u ke alohaia imua o kou maka, e kau mai oe i kou lima malalo o ko'u uha. a e hana mai oe ia'u ma ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio; ea, mai kanu oe ia'u ma Aigupita nei.
30 When I sleep with my fathers, you will carry me out of Egypt and bury me in my forefathers' burial place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
E moe au me o'u mau makua. E lawe oe ia'u mai Aigupita aku, a e kanu ia'u ma ko lakou ilina. I mai la kela, E hana no wau e like mo kau olelo.
31 Israel said, “Swear to me,” and Joseph swore to him. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his bed.
I aku la keia, E hoohiki mai oe ia'u, a hoohiki iho la kela, a kulou hoomana iho la o Iseraela ma ke poo o kona wahi moe.
