< Genesis 47 >

1 Therfor Joseph entride, and telde to Farao, and seide, My fadir and brethren, the scheep and grete beestis of hem, and alle thingis whiche thei welden, camen fro the lond of Canaan; and lo! thei stonden in the lond of Gessen.
Pea haʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻo fakahā kia Felo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ʻeku tamai mo hoku ngaahi kāinga mo ʻenau fanga sipi, mo e fanga manu, mo ʻenau meʻa kotoa pē, mei he fonua ko Kēnani; pea vakai ʻoku nau ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”
2 And he ordeynede fyue, the laste men of hise britheren, bifore the kyng,
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi tokoua, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, ʻo ne fakahā ʻakinautolu kia Felo.
3 whiche he axide, What werk han ye? Thei answeriden, We thi seruauntis ben kepers of scheep, bothe we and oure faderis;
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Ko e hā hoʻomou faiva?” Pea nau talaange kia Felo, “Ko e tauhi sipi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai foki.”
4 we camen in to thi lond to be pilgrymys, for noo gras is to the flockis of thi seruauntis; hungur wexith greuouse in the lond of Canaan, and we axen that thou comaunde vs thi seruauntis to be in the lond of Gessen.
Pea naʻa nau pehē foki kia Felo, “Kuo mau haʻu ke mau ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ha meʻakai ki heʻemau fanga manu; he kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ko ia ʻoku mau kole ai tuku ke nofo ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”
5 And so the kyng seide to Joseph, Thi fadir and thi britheren camen to thee;
Pea lea ʻa Felo kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu kiate koe ʻa hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi kāinga:
6 the lond of Egipt is in thi siyt, make thou hem to dwelle in the beste place, and yyue thou to hem the lond of Gessen; that if thou woost that witti men ben in hem, ordeyne thou hem maystris of my beestis.
‌ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite; ʻi he potu lelei ʻoe fonua, ke ke tuku ke nofo ai hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi tokoua: tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni: pea kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ha kau tangata poto ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke nau puleʻi ʻeku fanga manu.”
7 After these thingis Joseph brouyte in his fader to the king, and settide him bifor the king, which blesside the king;
Pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai ko Sēkope, ʻo tuku ia ki he ʻao ʻo Felo; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo.
8 and he was axid of the king, Hou many ben the daies of the yeeris of thi lijf?
Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Felo, kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fiha ho taʻu?”
9 And he answeride, The daies of pilgrymage of my lijf, ben feewe and yuele, of an hundrid and thretti yeer, and tho `camen not til to the daies of my fadris, in whiche thei weren pilgryms.
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Felo, “Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe taʻu ʻo hoku fononga, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu: kuo siʻi mo kovi pe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻeku moʻui, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai aʻu ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo honau fononga.”
10 And whanne he hadde blessid the kyng, he yede out.
Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo, pea ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo.
11 Forsothe Joseph yaf to hise fadir and britheren possessioun in Egipt, in Ramasses, the beste soile of erthe, as Farao comaundide;
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai mo hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he potu lelei ʻi he fonua ko Lamesisi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Felo.
12 and he fedde hem, and al the hows of his fadir, and yaf metis to alle.
Pea naʻe tauhi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai, mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo e kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ʻaki ʻae mā, ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi ʻapi.
13 For breed failide in al the world, and hungur oppresside the lond, moost of Egipt and of Canaan;
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha mā ʻi he fonua kotoa; he naʻe lahi ʻae honge, pea naʻe vaivai ʻae fonua kotoa ʻo ʻIsipite, mo Kēnani, koeʻuhi ko e honge.
14 of whiche londis he gaderide al the money for the sillyng of wheete, and brouyte it in to the `tresorie of the kyng.
Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, ko e totongi ʻoe koane naʻa nau fakatau; pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ki he fale ʻo Felo.
15 And whanne prijs failide to the bieris, al Egipt cam to Joseph, and seide, Yyue thou `looues to vs; whi shulen we die bifore thee, while monei failith?
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, pea haʻu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē kia Siosefa ʻo nau pehē, “Tuku mai haʻamau mā; he ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao? He kuo ʻikai ha paʻanga.”
16 To whiche he answeride, Brynge ye youre beestis, and Y schal yyue to you metis for tho, if ye han not prijs.
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa, “Tuku mai hoʻomou fanga manu: pea te u ʻatu ʻae mā koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo kapau kuo ʻosi ʻae paʻanga.”
17 And whanne thei hadden brouyt tho, he yaf to hem metis for horsis, and scheep, and oxun, and assis; and he susteynede hem in that yeer for the chaungyng of beestis.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻenau fanga manu kia Siosefa; pea ʻatu ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻae mā, ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi mo e fanga sipi, mo ʻenau fanga manu lalahi mo e fanga ʻasi; pea ne fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fanga manu.
18 And thei camen in the secunde yeer, and seiden to hym, We helen not fro oure lord, that the while monei failith, also beestis failiden togidere, nether it is hid fro thee, that with out bodies and lond we han no thing;
Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae taʻu ko ia, pea nau toe haʻu kia Siosefa ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻo nau pehē kiate ia, “E ʻikai te mau fakafufū mei homauʻeiki, kuo ʻosi ʻemau paʻanga; pea kuo maʻu foki ʻe homauʻeiki ʻemau fanga manu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha meʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, ka ko homau sino pe mo homau ngaahi fonua.
19 whi therfor schulen we die, while thou seest? bothe we and oure lond schulen be thine, bie thou vs in to the kyngis seruage, and yyue thou seedis, lest the while the tiliere perischith, the lond be turned in to wildirnesse.
Ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao, ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua? Ke ke fakatau ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua ʻaki ʻae mā, pea te mau hoko, mo homau fonua, ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo; pea tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tenga, koeʻuhi ke mau moʻui, kae ʻikai mate, pea ke ʻoua naʻa lala ʻae fonua.”
20 Therfor Joseph bouyte al the lond of Egipt, while all men seelden her possessiouns, for the greetnesse of hungur;
Pea naʻe fakatau ʻe Siosefa ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsipite, kia Felo; he naʻe taki taha fakatau ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻa ʻene ngoue; he koeʻuhi naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he honge; pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Felo ʻae fonua kotoa pē.
21 and he made it and alle puplis therof suget to Farao, fro the laste termes of Egipt til to the laste endis therof,
Pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha.
22 outakun the lond of preestis, that was youun of the kyng to hem, to whiche preestis also metis weren youun of the comun bernys, and therfor thei weren not compellid to sille her possessiouns.
Ka ko e fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatau; he naʻe ʻatu ʻae ʻinasi ki he kau taulaʻeiki meia Felo, pea naʻa nau kai ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Felo kiate kinautolu; ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fakatau honau fonua.
23 Therfor Joseph seide to the puplis, Lo! as ye seen, Farao weldith bothe you and youre lond; take ye seedis, and `sowe ye feeldis,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki he kakai, “Vakai, kuo u fakatau ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni, mo homou fonua, maʻa Felo: vakai mai, ko e tenga eni kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou tūtuuʻi ʻaki ʻae fonua.
24 that ye moun haue fruytis; ye schulen yyue the fifthe part to the kyng; Y suffre to you the foure residue partis in to seed and in to meetis, to you, and to youre fre children.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono tupu te mou ʻomi hono vahe nima kia Felo, ka ko e vahe ʻe fā ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia, ko e tenga ki hoʻomou ngoue, mo e meʻakai kiate kimoutolu, mo kinautolu ʻi homou kau nofoʻanga, mo e meʻakai ki hoʻomou fānau.”
25 Whiche answeriden, Oure helthe is in thin hond; oneli oure God biholde vs, and we schulen ioifuli serue the kyng.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo fakahaofi ʻemau moʻui; ʻofa ke mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, pea mau nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo.
26 For that tyme til in to present dai, in al the lond of Egipt, the fyuethe part is paied to the kyngis, and it is maad as in to a lawe, with out the lond of preestis, that was fre fro this condicioun.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe Siosefa ko e fono ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻe Felo hono vahe nima; ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ki he fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe Felo.”
27 Therfor Israel dwellide in Egipt, that is, in the lond of Jessen, and weldide it; and he was encreessid and multiplied ful mych.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi he fonua ko Koseni; pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fonua, pea naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito.
28 And he lyuede therynne sixtene yeer; and alle the daies of his lijf weren maad of an hundrid and seuene and fourti yeer.
Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Sēkope ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu; pea ko e taʻu kotoa pē ʻo Sēkope, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma fitu.
29 And whanne he seiy the dai of deeth nyye, he clepide his sone Joseph, and seide to hym, If Y haue founde grace in thi siyt; putte thin hond vndur myn hipe, and thou schal do merci and treuthe to me, that thou birie not me in Egipt;
Pea naʻe ofi ʻae ʻaho ke pekia ai ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ui ia ke haʻu hono foha ko Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke ʻai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga, mo ke fai angalelei mo moʻoni kiate au; ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke tanu au ʻi ʻIsipite.
30 but `Y schal slepe with my fadris, and take thou awey me fro this lond, and birie in the sepulcre of my grettere. To whom Joseph answeride, Y schal do that that thou comaundist.
Ka te u tokoto au mo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, pea te ke fata au mei ʻIsipite, ʻo tanu au ʻi honau tanuʻanga.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
31 And Israel seide, Therfor swere thou to me; and whanne Joseph swoor, Israel turnede to the heed of the bed, and worschipide God.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fuakava mai kiate au.” Pea ne fuakava kiate ia. Pea naʻe punou ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻuluʻi mohenga.
