Jenèz 47
1 Konsa, Joseph te antre pou pale ak Farawon. Li te di: “Papa m avèk frè m yo, bann mouton yo, twoupo yo, avèk tout sa yo posede, te sòti nan peyi Canaan an. Epi gade byen, yo nan peyi Gosen.”
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 Li te pran senk mesye pami frè li yo, e li te prezante yo bay Farawon.
And he ordeynede fyue, the laste men of hise britheren, bifore the kyng,
3 Alò, Farawon te di a frè li yo: “Ki metye nou?” Epi yo te di a Farawon: “Sèvitè nou se bèje, ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo.”
whiche he axide, What werk han ye? Thei answeriden, We thi seruauntis ben kepers of scheep, bothe we and oure faderis;
4 Yo te di a Farawon: “Nou te vini pou rete tankou etranje nan peyi a, paske nanpwen patiraj pou bann mouton yo paske gwo grangou a rèd nan peyi Canaan. Alò pou sa, souple, kite sèvitè nou yo viv nan peyi Gosen an.”
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 Konsa, Farawon te di a Joseph: “Papa ou avèk frè ou yo te vin kote ou.
And so the kyng seide to Joseph, Thi fadir and thi britheren camen to thee;
6 Peyi Égypte la devan ou, plase papa ou avèk frè ou yo nan pi bon pòsyon tè a, kite yo viv nan peyi Gosen an. Epi si ou konnen moun ak kapasite pami yo, alò, fè yo responsab bèt mwen yo.”
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 Epi Joseph te mennen papa li, Jacob. Li te prezante li bay Farawon, epi Jacob te beni Farawon.
After these thingis Joseph brouyte in his fader to the king, and settide him bifor the king, which blesside the king;
8 Farawon te di a Jacob: “Konbyen ane ou gen tan viv?”
and he was axid of the king, Hou many ben the daies of the yeeris of thi lijf?
9 Konsa, Jacob te di a Farawon: “Lane lavi m yo sou latè se san-trant. Pa anpil, e degoutan se te ane lavi m yo. Ni yo pa menm fòs avèk lane ke zansèt mwen yo te viv pandan jou lavi pa yo.”
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 Konsa, Jacob te beni Farawon, e li te sòti nan prezans li.
And whanne he hadde blessid the kyng, he yede out.
11 Epi Joseph te pozisyone papa li, ak frè li yo e li te bay yo yon teren an Égypte, nan pi bon pati nan peyi a, kote Ramsès la, tankou Farawon te kòmande a.
Forsothe Joseph yaf to hise fadir and britheren possessioun in Egipt, in Ramasses, the beste soile of erthe, as Farao comaundide;
12 Joseph te founi papa li ak frè li yo, avèk tout lakay li avèk manje, selon fòs kantite pitit pa yo.
and he fedde hem, and al the hows of his fadir, and yaf metis to alle.
13 Koulye a, pa t gen manje nan tout peyi a, akoz gwo grangou a te tèlman rèd, ke peyi Égypte la ak peyi Canaan an te febli nèt akoz gwo grangou a.
For breed failide in al the world, and hungur oppresside the lond, moost of Egipt and of Canaan;
14 Joseph te ranmase tout lajan ki te twouve nan peyi Égypte la, ak nan peyi Canaan pou sereyal ke yo te achte a, e Joseph te pote lajan an lakay Farawon.
of whiche londis he gaderide al the money for the sillyng of wheete, and brouyte it in to the `tresorie of the kyng.
15 Lè tout lajan an te fin depanse nan tout peyi Égypte la, ak tout peyi Canaan an, tout Ejipsyen yo te vin vè Joseph, e te di li: “Bannou manje, paske pou ki rezon nou ta dwe mouri nan prezans ou? Paske lajan nou fini.”
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 Alò, Joseph te di: “Bay bèt nou yo, e mwen va bannou manje pou bèt yo, paske kòb nou gen tan fini.”
To whiche he answeride, Brynge ye youre beestis, and Y schal yyue to you metis for tho, if ye han not prijs.
17 Epi yo te mennen bèt yo kote Joseph, Joseph te bay yo manje an echanj ak cheval ak bann mouton, twoupo ak bourik. Konsa, li te bay yo manje an echanj ak tout bèt pa yo nan ane sa a.
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 Lè ane sa a te fini, yo te vin kote li nan lane pwochèn, e te di li: “Nou p ap kache a mèt nou ke lajan nou fin depanse, e tout twoupo bèt yo se pou mèt nou. Nanpwen anyen ki rete pou mèt la, sof ke kò nou, ak tè nou yo.
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 Poukisa nou ta mouri devan zye ou, ni nou menm, ni tè nou yo? Achte nou menm avèk tè nou yo, e nou va vin esklav a Farawon. Epi bannou semans pou nou ka viv, pou nou pa mouri, e pou tè a pa rete vid.”
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 Alò, Joseph te achte tout tè an Égypte yo pou Farawon, e chak Ejipsyen te vann tè li, akoz ke gwo grangou a te rèd sou yo. Konsa, tè a te vin pou Farawon.
Therfor Joseph bouyte al the lond of Egipt, while all men seelden her possessiouns, for the greetnesse of hungur;
21 Epi pou pèp la, li te deplase yo pou antre nan vil yo, sòti nan yon pwen fwontyè Égypte la, jis rive nan lòt la.
and he made it and alle puplis therof suget to Farao, fro the laste termes of Egipt til to the laste endis therof,
22 Se sèl tè prèt yo ke li pa t achte, paske prèt yo te gen yon bous ki te sòti sou Farawon, e yo te viv sou bous ke Farawon te bay yo a. Akoz sa, yo pa t vann tè pa yo a.
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 Epi Joseph te di a pèp la: “Veye byen, jodi a mwen te achte nou menm avèk tè nou yo pou Farawon. Men semans lan se pou nou, e nou kapab simen nan tè a.
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 Nan rekòlt la, nou va bay yon senkyèm a Farawon, e kat senkyèm nan ap rete pou nou pou simen nan tè a pou manje pou nou menm avèk sa ki lakay nou yo, ak pou pitit nou yo.”
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 Epi yo te di: “Ou gen tan sove lavi nou! Kite nou twouve favè nan zye a mèt nou, e nou va vin esklav Farawon.”
Whiche answeriden, Oure helthe is in thin hond; oneli oure God biholde vs, and we schulen ioifuli serue the kyng.
26 Joseph te fè yon règleman selon peyi Égypte la ki valab jis rive jou sa a ke Farawon te gen dwa a yon senkyèm nan. Sèl tè a prèt yo ki pa t vin pou Farawon.
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 Alò, Israël te viv nan peyi Égypte la, nan Gosen. Yo te gen tèren ladann, yo te vin trè pwodiktif, e yo te peple anpil.
Therfor Israel dwellide in Egipt, that is, in the lond of Jessen, and weldide it; and he was encreessid and multiplied ful mych.
28 Jacob te viv nan peyi Égypte pandan disèt ane'. Pou sa, fòs lavi li te san-karant-sèt ane.
And he lyuede therynne sixtene yeer; and alle the daies of his lijf weren maad of an hundrid and seuene and fourti yeer.
29 Lè pou Israël mouri an t ap pwoche. Li te rele fis li, Joseph, e te di li: “Souple, si mwen te twouve favè nan zye ou, koulye a plase men ou anba fant janm mwen, e aji avèk mwen nan bòn fwa ak tandrès. Souple, pa antere mwen an Égypte,
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 men lè m kouche avèk zansèt mwen yo, nou va pote mwen deyò de Égypte, pou antere mwen nan plas antèman a yo menm nan.” Epi Joseph te di: “M ap fè jan ou di m nan.”
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 Konsa, li te di: “Sèmante ban mwen.” Epi li te sèmante ba li. Epi Israël te bese pou adore nan tèt kabann nan.
And Israel seide, Therfor swere thou to me; and whanne Joseph swoor, Israel turnede to the heed of the bed, and worschipide God.
