Genesis 47
1 And Joseph cometh, and declareth to Pharaoh, and saith, 'My father, and my brethren, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and lo, they [are] in the land of Goshen.'
Josef gara gwa Fero sị, “Nna m na ụmụnne m ejirila igwe ewu na atụrụ ha, igwe ehi ha na ihe niile ha nwere site nʼala Kenan bịa nʼebe a. Ha nọ nʼala Goshen.”
2 And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth them before Pharaoh;
Mgbe ọ gara ịgwa Fero okwu, o duuru mmadụ ise nʼetiti ụmụnne ya ndị ikom gosi ha Fero.
3 and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, 'What [are] your works?' and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thy servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers;'
Fero jụrụ ụmụnne ya ajụjụ sị ha, “Gịnị bụ ọrụ aka unu?” Ha zara sị ya, “Ndị ohu gị bụ ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ dịka nna nna anyị ha.”
4 and they say unto Pharaoh, 'To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of Goshen.'
Ha kwukwara sị, “Anyị bịara ịnọ dịka ọbịa nʼala a nʼihi na ụnwụ a siri oke ike nʼala Kenan. O nweghị nri igwe ewu na atụrụ anyị nwere iri nʼala ahụ. Ya mere, anyị na-arịọ ka i nye ndị ohu gị ike ka ha biri nʼala Goshen.”
5 And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, 'Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee:
Fero gwara Josef sị, “Nna gị na ụmụnne gị abịakwutela gị. Ha biri nʼala Goshen.
6 the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell — they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the cattle I have.'
Ala Ijipt dịkwa gị nʼihu. Họrọ ebe ọbụla masịrị gị nke dịkwa ezi mma nye nna gị na ụmụnne gị ka ha biri. Ka ha biri na Goshen. Ọ bụrụkwa na ị maara ndị ikom nʼetiti ha ndị nwere ike, mee ha ndị na-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ m.”
7 And Joseph bringeth in Jacob his father, and causeth him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesseth Pharaoh.
Josef kpọtara nna ya Jekọb, mee ka o guzo nʼihu Fero. Jekọb nọ nʼebe ahụ gọzie Fero.
8 And Pharaoh saith unto Jacob, 'How many [are] the days of the years of thy life?'
Fero jụrụ Jekọb sị, “Ị gbaala afọ ole ugbu a?”
9 And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, 'The days of the years of my sojournings [are] an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'
Jekọb zara Fero sị ya: “Ebiela m dịka onye ọbịa narị afọ na iri afọ atọ. Ọnụọgụgụ afọ ndị a ehighị nne, ma ha jupụtara nʼahụhụ na nsogbu. Ma a nọrubeghị m ọnụọgụgụ afọ nna m ha gbara mgbe ha biri nʼụwa dịka ọbịa.”
10 And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before Pharaoh.
Jekọb gọziri Fero, site nʼihu ya pụọ.
11 And Joseph settleth his father and his brethren, and giveth to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;
Ya mere, Josef mere ka nna ya na ụmụnne ya biri nʼala Ijipt. O nyere ha ala kachasị mma nʼala ahụ na mpaghara Ramesis, dịka Fero nyere nʼiwu.
12 and Joseph nourisheth his father, and his brethren, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.
Josef nyere nna ya na ụmụnne ya na ezinaụlọ nna ya nri dịka ọnụọgụgụ nke ụmụ ha si dị.
13 And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;
Ma nri adịghị nʼala ahụ niile nʼihi na ụnwụ ahụ dị nnọọ njọ. Ihe siri ike nʼala Ijipt ma nʼala Kenan nʼihi ụnwụ a.
14 and Joseph gathereth all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn that they are buying, and Joseph bringeth the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
Josef chịkọtara ego niile dị nʼala Ijipt, na nʼala Kenan, nke ndị mmadụ ji kwụọ ụgwọ nri ha zụrụ webata ha nʼụlọeze Fero.
15 And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto Joseph, saying, 'Give to us bread — why do we die before thee, though the money hath ceased?'
Mgbe ego niile dị ndị mmadụ nʼaka gwụchara nʼala Ijipt ma nʼala Kenan, ndị Ijipt niile bịakwutere Josef sị ya, “Nye anyị nri, gịnị mere anyị ga-eji nwụọ nʼihu gị? Ego anyị agwụla.”
16 and Joseph saith, 'Give your cattle; and I give to you for your cattle, if the money hath ceased.'
Mgbe ahụ Josef zara sị ha: “Jirinụ anụ ụlọ unu kwụọ ụgwọ nri m ga-enye unu, ebe ọ bụ na ego unu agwụla.”
17 And they bring in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph giveth to them bread, for the horses, and for the cattle of the flock, and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses; and he tendeth them with bread, for all their cattle, during that year.
Ya mere, ha kpụtaara Josef anụ ụlọ ha. Josef nyere ha nri nʼọnọdụ ịnyịnya ha, na atụrụ ha, na ewu ha, na ehi, na ịnyịnya ibu ha. O were nri zụọ ha nʼafọ ahụ nʼọnọdụ anụ ụlọ ha niile.
18 And that year is finished, and they come in unto him on the second year, and say to him, 'We do not hide from my lord, that since the money hath been finished, and possession of the cattle [is] unto my lord, there hath not been left before my lord save our bodies, and our ground;
Mgbe afọ ahụ gafesịrị, ha bịakwutekwara ya nʼafọ nke ọzọ sị ya, “Anyị agaghị ezoro onyenwe anyị na ego anyị agwụla, na igwe anụ ụlọ anyị bụkwa nke gị. O nweghị ihe ọzọ fọdụrụ anyị karịa ahụ anyị na ala anyị.
19 why do we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground? buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and die not, and the ground is not desolate.'
Gịnị mere anyị ga-eji nọọ nʼagụụ nʼihu gị? Zụrụ anyị na ala anyị nʼọnọdụ ụgwọ anyị ga-akwụ maka nri ị ga-enye anyị. Ka anyị na ala anyị bụrụ ndị ohu Fero. Nye anyị mkpụrụ ubi ka anyị dịrị ndụ ghara ịnwụ, ka ala a ghara ịbụ ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu.”
20 And Joseph buyeth all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have sold each his field, for the famine hath been severe upon them, and the land becometh Pharaoh's;
Ya mere, Josef zụtaara Fero ala Ijipt niile. Ndị Ijipt niile nʼotu nʼotu rere ala ha nʼihi oke ụnwụ ahụ dakwasịrị ha. Mgbe ahụ, ala ha niile ghọrọ nke Fero.
21 as to the people he hath removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even unto its [other] end.
Ya mere, Josef si otu a mee ka ndị Ijipt niile ghọọ ndị ohu Fero, site nʼotu obodo nʼala ahụ ruo na nke ọzọ ya.
22 Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.
Ala nke Josef na-azụtaghị nʼoge a bụ naanị ala ndị nchụaja. Nʼihi na ndị nchụaja si nʼaka Fero na-enweta nri ha site nʼoge ruo nʼoge. Ha nwekwara nri na-ezuru ha site na oke ahụ Fero na-enye ha. Ya mere ha ereghị ala ha.
23 And Joseph saith unto the people, 'Lo, I have bought you to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye have sown the ground,
Mgbe ahụ, Josef gwara ndị mmadụ ahụ niile okwu sị, “Lee, azụọla unu taa, zụkwaa a ala unu nye Fero.
24 and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.'
Nʼoge owuwe ihe ubi, otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ihe unu nwetara nʼubi unu bụ nke Fero. Deberenụ onwe unu ụzọ anọ fọdụrụ ka ọ bụrụ ihe unu ga-akụ nʼubi na ihe unu ga-eri na ihe ndị ezinaụlọ unu, na nke ụmụntakịrị unu ga-eri.”
25 And they say, 'Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;'
Ha zara sị ya, “Ị zọpụtala ndụ anyị. Ka anyị hụta amara nʼihu nna anyị ukwu. Anyị ga-abụ ndị ohu Fero.”
26 and Joseph setteth it for a statute unto this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh hath a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone hath not become Pharaoh's.
Josef mere ka nke a bụrụ iwu nʼala Ijipt niile ruo taa, na Fero ga-ewe otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ ise nke ihe ọbụla si nʼala. Naanị ihe si nʼala ndị nchụaja bụ nke na-esoghị nʼiwu a.
27 And Israel dwelleth in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;
Izrel biri na Goshen nke dị nʼala Ijipt. Ha kpatara akụ hie nne, mụbaa nʼọmụmụ, ma nʼọnụọgụgụ.
28 and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and forty and seven years.
Jekọb biri nʼala Ijipt afọ iri na asaa. Ya mere, afọ niile Jekọb gbara bụ narị afọ na iri afọ anọ na asaa.
29 And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calleth for his son, for Joseph, and saith to him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and thou hast done with me kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
Mgbe ụbọchị ọnwụ Izrel na-abịaru nso, ọ kpọrọ Josef nwa ya sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m ahụtala amara nʼihu gị, tinye aka gị nʼokpuru apata m, kwee m nkwa na ị ga-egosi m obi ebere na ezi ntụkwasị obi. Elila m nʼala nʼIjipt.
30 and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.' And he saith, 'I — I do according to thy word;'
Kama, mgbe m nwụrụ, site nʼala Ijipt bupụ m. Buru ozu m gaa lie ya ebe e liri nna m ha.” Ọ zara, “Aga m eme dịka i kwuru.”
31 and he saith, 'Swear to me;' and he sweareth to him, and Israel boweth himself on the head of the bed.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Ṅụọrọ m iyi na ị ga-eme ya.” Josef ṅụọrọ ya iyi. Izrel nʼonwe ya, kpọrọ isiala dịka ọ dabere nʼelu mkpanaka ya.
