< Mose 1 47 >
1 Esi wova ɖo la, Yosef yi Farao gbɔ, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Fofonye kple nɔvinyewo tso Kanaan va ɖo afii kple woƒe lãwo kpakple woƒe nuwo katã. Wodi be yewoanɔ Gosenyigba dzi.”
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.
2 Ekplɔ nɔvia ŋutsu atɔ̃ ɖe asi, eye wòɖe wo fia Farao.
And he ordeynede fyue, the laste men of hise britheren, bifore the kyng,
3 Farao bia wo be, “Dɔ ka miewɔna?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Míenye alẽkplɔlawo abe mía tɔgbuiwo kple mía fofowo ene.
whiche he axide, What werk han ye? Thei answeriden, We thi seruauntis ben kepers of scheep, bothe we and oure faderis;
4 Míeva be míanɔ Egipte, elabena gbeɖuƒe mele Kanaanyigba dzi na míaƒe lãwo o; dɔwuame la nu sesẽ le afi ma ŋutɔ. Míele mɔ biam be nàna míanɔ Gosenyigba dzi.”
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.
5 Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Fofowò kple nɔviwò ŋutsuwo va gbɔwò,
And so the kyng seide to Joseph, Thi fadir and thi britheren camen to thee;
6 eye Egiptenyigba le ŋkuwò me. Na fofowò kple nɔviwò ŋutsuwo nanɔ anyigba la ƒe akpa nyuitɔ dzi. Na woanɔ Gosen. Ne ènya wo dometɔ aɖe si ŋu ŋutete tɔxɛ aɖe le la, nàna wòakpɔ nye ŋutɔ nye lãhawo dzi.”
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.
7 Emegbe la, Yosef kplɔ fofoa, Yakob va Farao gbɔ, eye Yakob yra Farao.
After these thingis Joseph brouyte in his fader to the king, and settide him bifor the king, which blesside the king;
8 Farao bia Yakob be, “Ƒe neni nèxɔ?”
and he was axid of the king, Hou many ben the daies of the yeeris of thi lijf?
9 Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Mexɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaetɔ̃, meto nu sesẽ geɖewo me, eye nyemetsi abe fofonyewo ene haɖe o.”
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.
10 Yakob gayra Farao hafi dzo.
And whanne he hadde blessid the kyng, he yede out.
11 Ale Yosef tsɔ anyigba nyuitɔ le Egipte, afi si nye Ramesesnyigba la na fofoa kple nɔviawo abe ale si Farao gblɔe ene.
Forsothe Joseph yaf to hise fadir and britheren possessioun in Egipt, in Ramasses, the beste soile of erthe, as Farao comaundide;
12 Yosef na nuɖuɖu wo ɖe ame siwo dzi kpɔm wole la ƒe xexlẽme nu.
and he fedde hem, and al the hows of his fadir, and yaf metis to alle.
13 Dɔwuame la nu ganɔ sesẽm ɖe edzi kokoko le Egipte kple Kanaan siaa.
For breed failide in al the world, and hungur oppresside the lond, moost of Egipt and of Canaan;
14 Yosef xɔ ga siwo katã le ame siwo le Egipte kple Kanaan la si, eye wòna nuɖuɖu wo ɖe woƒe ga teƒe. Etsɔ ga la de Farao ƒe gadzraɖoƒe.
of whiche londis he gaderide al the money for the sillyng of wheete, and brouyte it in to the `tresorie of the kyng.
15 Azɔ ga vɔ keŋkeŋ le ameawo si, gake wogava Yosef gbɔ kple kukuɖeɖe be wòagana nuɖuɖu yewo. Wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míaƒe ga vɔ keŋkeŋ, gake na nuɖuɖu mí, elabena mele be míaku o.”
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?
16 Yosef ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Enyo, mitsɔ miaƒe lãwo nam ne miaxɔ nuɖuɖu ɖe wo teƒe.”
To whiche he answeride, Brynge ye youre beestis, and Y schal yyue to you metis for tho, if ye han not prijs.
17 Ale wotsɔ woƒe nyiwo vɛ na Yosef, eye woxɔ nuɖuɖu ɖe wo teƒe. Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, Egiptetɔwo ƒe sɔwo, alẽwo, nyiwo kple tedziwo katã zu Farao tɔ.
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.
18 Esi ƒe trɔ la, wogayi Yosef gbɔ, eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, míate ŋu aɣla nya aɖeke ɖe wò o. Míaƒe ga vɔ, eye míaƒe lãhawo zu tɔwò; míaƒe nu siwo susɔ la koe nye míaƒe ŋutilãwo kple míaƒe agblenyigbawo.
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;
19 Nu ka ta míaku ɖo? Ƒle mí kple míaƒe agblenyigbawo, eye míawo kple míaƒe agblenyigbawo siaa míazu Farao tɔ. Míadzra mía ɖokuiwo na wò axɔ nuɖuɖu, ekema míatsi agbe, eye anyigba la matsi yame o.”
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.
20 Ale Yosef ƒle Egiptetɔwo ƒe agblenyigbawo katã na Farao. Egiptetɔwo katã dzra woƒe anyigbawo, elabena dɔwuame la nu sesẽ ŋutɔ. Ale anyigba la zu Farao tɔ.
Therfor Joseph bouyte al the lond of Egipt, while all men seelden her possessiouns, for the greetnesse of hungur;
21 Ale Egiptetɔwo katã zu awɔbamewo na Farao.
and he made it and alle puplis therof suget to Farao, fro the laste termes of Egipt til to the laste endis therof,
22 Anyigba si meƒle o la koe nye esi nye nunɔlawo tɔ, elabena Farao naa nuɖuɖu wo, eye mehiã be woadzra woƒe anyigba o.
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.
23 Yosef gblɔ na ameawo be, “Meƒle miawo ŋutɔ kple miaƒe anyigbawo na Farao. Blie nye esi, miyi miade agble.
Therfor Joseph seide to the puplis, Lo! as ye seen, Farao weldith bothe you and youre lond; take ye seedis, and `sowe ye feeldis,
24 Mima nu sia nu si miaxa la ɖe akpa atɔ̃ me; ɖeka nanye Farao tɔ. Akpa ene nanye mia tɔ, wòanye nuƒaƒã le ƒe si gbɔna la me kple nuɖuɖu na miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe aƒemetɔwo kple mia viwo.”
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.
25 Ameawo gblɔ be “Èɖe míaƒe agbe! Aƒetɔ, ne àlɔ̃ la, míanye awɔbamewo na Farao.”
Whiche answeriden, Oure helthe is in thin hond; oneli oure God biholde vs, and we schulen ioifuli serue the kyng.
26 Eya ta Yosef wɔe wòzu se le Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi va se ɖe egbegbe be woadzɔ agblemenukuwo katã ƒe akpa atɔ̃lia na Farao. Nuku siwo woƒã ɖe nunɔlawo ƒe anyigba dzi la koe mele eme o.
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.
27 Ale Israel nɔ Gosenyigba dzi le Egipte. Nuwo de asi nyonyo me na Israelviwo kabakaba, eye wodzi sɔ gbɔ fũu.
Therfor Israel dwellide in Egipt, that is, in the lond of Jessen, and weldide it; and he was encreessid and multiplied ful mych.
28 Yakob ganɔ agbe ƒe wuiadre esime wòva ɖo Gosen, ale exɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka blaene-vɔ-adre hafi ku.
And he lyuede therynne sixtene yeer; and alle the daies of his lijf weren maad of an hundrid and seuene and fourti yeer.
29 Esi Israel ƒe kuɣi gogo la, eyɔ via Yosef gblɔ nɛ be, “Ka atam nam be yeawɔ nye didi mamlɛtɔ dzi nam: Mègaɖim ɖe Egipte o.
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;
30 Ne meku la, tsɔm dzoe le Egipte, eye nàɖim ɖe tɔgbuinyewo xa.” Yosef ka atam sia.
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.
31 Israel ƒoe ɖe enu be, “Ka atam nam be yeawɔe.” Yosef ka atam la. Tete Israel gamlɔ eƒe aba dzi.
And Israel seide, Therfor swere thou to me; and whanne Joseph swoor, Israel turnede to the heed of the bed, and worschipide God.
