Jenesis 47
1 Anante Josefe'a amanage huno Ferona ome asami'ne, Nafani'ane, nafuhe'zane maka sipisipi'zamine, Bulimaka'ozamine, maka zazmine Kenani mopa atre'za Goseni mopare emani'naze.
And so Joseph entered and reported to Pharaoh, saying: “My father and brothers, their sheep and herds, and everything that they possess, have arrived from the land of Canaan. And behold, they stand together in the land of Goshen.”
2 Anage huteno afuhe'impinti Josefe'a 5fu'a vahe zamavareno Fero avure vigeno,
Likewise, he stood in the sight of the king five men, the last of his brothers.
3 Fero'a ana afuhe'mokizmia anage huno zamantahige'ne, Nankna eri'za e'neriza nagare? Hige'za Ferona anage hu'za asami'naze, Tagehemofonteti'ma eno nerafante'ma eno tagrite'ma e'neana eri'za naga kamota tagra sipisipi afu kva nehu'na naga mani'none,
And he questioned them, “What do you have for work?” They responded: “Your servants are pastors of sheep, both we and our fathers.
4 nehu'za Feronkura anage hu'naze, Osi'a gna ama mopare maninaku tagra e'none. Eri'za vahekamota afu'mofo ne'zana, trazana omanegeno aga'zamo Kenani mopare forehigu, menina muse (plis) hugantonanki, eri'za vahekamota tatregeta Goseni mopare umani maneno.
We came to sojourn in your land, because there is no grass for the flocks of your servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Canaan. And we petition you that you may order us, your servants, to be in the land of Goshen.”
5 Anante Fero'a Josefena anage huno asmine, Negafa'ene, kafuhe'zanena kagritega e'naze.
And so the king said to Joseph: “Your father and brothers have come to you.
6 Hagi Isipi mopamo'a kegava hankeno me'neanki, negafane kafuhe'inena knare huno tre tre hu'nenia mopa zamige'za Goseni maniho. Hagi kegeno anampima knare vahe'ma mani'nesiana huge'za, nagri bulimakao afura kegava hiho.
The land of Egypt is in your sight. Cause them to live in the best place, and deliver to them the land of Goshen. And if you know there to be industrious men among them, appoint these as foremen over my cattle.”
7 Anage higeno Josefe'a nafa'amofo avreno Feronte egeno, Jekopu'a asomu ke Ferona hunte'ne.
After this, Joseph brought in his father to the king, and he stood him in his sight. He blessed him,
8 Fero'a anage huno antahige'ne, Kagra nama'a zagegafu hu'nane?
and he questioned him: “How many are the days of the years of your life?”
9 Higeno Jekopu'a Feronkura anage hu'ne, Nafahe'za zaza kna maniza e'nazanagi, nagra atupa'a knafi natagura huna ne-ena, 130'a zagegafu hu'noe.
He responded, “The days of my sojourn are one hundred and thirty years, few and unworthy, and they do not reach even to the days of the sojourning of my fathers.”
10 Jekopu'a asomu ke Ferona hunteteno atreno vu'ne.
And blessing the king, he went outside.
11 Higeno Josefe'a nafa'amofone, afuhe'inena zamavareno Isipi mopamo'ma knare huno tretre hu'nerega, Rameses kaziga Fero'ma hu'nere mopa ome regori zamige'za mani'naze.
Truly, Joseph gave his father and brothers a possession in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Rameses, as Pharaoh had instructed.
12 Josefe'a nefane, afuhe'ine, nefa nompima nemaniza vahe'ene, osi mofavre naga'enena, mani'naza avamente ne'zana zami'ne.
And he fed them, along with all his father’s house, providing portions of food to each one.
13 Hianagi Isipi mopafine, Kenani mopare'enena tusi'a zagereno mikazana tefanane higeno, mika mopafina ne'zana omnetfa hu'ne.
For in the whole world there was a lack of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land, most of all Egypt and Canaan,
14 Josefe'a Isipi mopareti'ene Kenani mopareti'ma maka zagoma eri'za ne'zama eme mizasaza zagoa eritru huteno, erino Fero nompima zagoma nentazafi ana mika ome ante'ne.
from which he gathered together all the money for the grain that they bought, and he took it into the treasury of the king.
15 Hagi Isipi vahe'mo'zane Kenani vahe'mo'zama zagozmima ne'zante'ma maka atre'za eri hanama hutage'za, Isipi vahe'mo'za Josefente e'za anage hu'naze, zagotia hago atreta erihna hu'nonanki, frisunki ne'zanaramio.
And when the buyers had run out of money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: “Give us bread. Why should we die in your sight, lacking money?”
16 Anante Josefe'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Zago tamima omanea nona'a, afu'zagatmi eme naminke'na afu tamimofo nona hu'na ne'zana refko hurami'neno.
And he responded to them: “Bring me your cattle, and I will give food to you in exchange for them, if you do not have money.”
17 Hige'za hosiramima, sipisipiramima, memekiramima bulimakaoramima, donki afu'zagaramima hu'za zamavare'za Josefena eme nemizageno nona huno, ana kafufima nesaza ne'zana zami'ne.
And when they had brought them, he gave them food for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and donkeys. And he sustained them in that year in exchange for their cattle.
18 Ana kafuma vagarege'za mago zagegafurera Josefente ete e'za anage hu'naze, rantimoka kavurera fra okigahune. Zagotia hago kagrite atreta eri hana nehuta, mika afutamina ranti'moka kagrite atre vagare'none. Hagi rantimoka menina tagrane mopatige asizanke me'ne.
Likewise, they came the second year, and they said to him: “We will not conceal from our lord that our money is gone; likewise our cattle are gone. Neither are you unaware that we have nothing left but our bodies and our land.
19 Nahanigeta tagra frisunkeno mopatimo'a havizana hugahie? Tagri'ene mopatinena nezanteti miza hugeta, tagra Feronte kazokazo eri'za erinenteta manimneno. Nehunka avimza tamigeta tagra ofrita mani'nesunkeno, ama mopamo'a, trankino megusa avu'avara osino.
Therefore, why should you watch us die? Both we and our land will be yours. Buy us into royal servitude, but provide seed, lest by the dying off of cultivators the land be reduced to a wilderness.”
20 Hazageno Josefe'a mika Isipi mopa ne'zanteti mizaseno Ferona eri ami'ne. Mika Isipi vahe'mokizmia zamaga'zamo'a zamazeri havizantfa hige'za mopa zamia ne'zante atrageno, ana mika mopamo'a Fero mopa sevare'ne.
Therefore, Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, each one selling his possessions because of the magnitude of the famine. And he subjected it to Pharaoh,
21 Hagi Josefe'a ana mika vahetamina kazokazo eri'za vahere huno, Isipi mopamofo ruga raga atupa'aregati zamavareno, ranra kumatmimpi ome zamante'ne.
along with all of its people, from the newest borders of Egypt, even to its furthest limits,
22 Hianagi Josefe'a pristi vahe'mokizmi mopa miza osegeno, Fero'a ana pristi vahera ne'zana zamige'za nene'za mopa'zmia zagorera otre'naze.
except the land of the priests, which had been delivered to them by the king. To these also a portion of food was supplied out of the public storehouses, and, for this reason, they were not compelled to sell their possessions.
23 Hagi Josefe'a amanage huno maka veara zamasmi'ne, Keho, hago menina tamagri'ene mopatmi'nena Fero miza semi'noe. Menina mago'a avimza timinena tamagra hoza eritma hankregahaze.
Therefore, Joseph said to the people: “So, as you discern, both you and your lands are possessed by Pharaoh; take seed and sow the fields,
24 Hagi ne'zama hamare knarera 5fu'a ko'nama anaki'nuta, mago ko'na Fero nemita, 4'a ko'nafintira hozafi avi krisaza zane, nontamifi naga'ene ne'onse mofavre naga'mozanema nesazaza tamagra erigahaze.
so that you may be able to have grain. One fifth part you will give to the king; the remaining four I permit to you, as seed and as food for your families and children.
25 Hige'za anage hu'naze, Kagra knare kavukava hurantanketa ofrita mani'none! Knare agampu ra'nimofo avurera hiankita, Fero kazokzo eri'za vahe manigahune.
And they responded: “Our health is in your hand; only let our lord look kindly upon us, and we will serve the king with gladness.”
26 Anage hazageno, Josefe'a Isipi mopamofo tra kea anage huno ante'ne, Hozafi kave'ma hamare'za 5fu'a kevuma antesafintira mago kevua kini ne'mofo amitere hugahaze hu'nege'za, ana hume neazageno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne. Hagi pristi vahe'mo'zage mopazmia otre zamagra'a eri'naze.
From that time, even to the present day, in the entire land of Egypt, the fifth part is turned over to the kings, and it has become like a law, except in the land of the priests, which was free from this condition.
27 Menina Israeli vahe'mo'za Isipi mopare, Goseni agu'afi mani'ne'za, mika zana erisanti nehare'za, rama'a vahe fore hu'naze.
And so, Israel lived in Egypt, that is, in the land of Goshen, and he possessed it. And he increased and was multiplied exceedingly.
28 Jekopu'a Isipi moparera 17ni'a zagegafu mani'ne. Jekopu'ma manino'ma e'nea zagegafu'a ana maka'a 147ni'a zagegafu hu'ne.
And he lived in it seventeen years. And all the days of his life that passed were one hundred and forty-seven years.
29 Israeli'ma (Jekopu) frisnia knamo atupa higeno, mofavre'a Josefe ke huno amanage huno asmi'ne, Muse (plis) hugantoanki kagrama nagriku'ma kave'ma sinante'sunka, menina kazana fenka namopi antenka musezana hunaverinka tamage hunka huo. Muse (plis) hugantoanki Isipia ase onantegahane.
And when he discerned that the day of his death was approaching, he called his son Joseph, and he said to him: “If I have found favor in your sight, place your hand under my thigh. And you shall show me mercy and truth, not to bury me in Egypt.
30 Hianagi nagrama frisnugenka, kagra Isipitira erinka vunka vahe'niama asema nezmantafi ome asenanto. Higeno Josefe'a huno, kema hanaza hugahue.
But I shall sleep with my fathers, and you will carry me from this land and bury me in the sepulcher of my ancestors.” And Joseph answered him, “I will do what you have ordered.”
31 Agra anage hu'ne, Tamage hu'na hugahue hanunka, huvempa huo, higeno tamage hu'na ana hugahue huno Josefe'a asmi'ne. Anante Israeli'a (Jekopu) kepri huno sipare mani'neno Josefena muse hunte'ne.
And he said, “Then swear it to me.” And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the head of his resting place.
