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.

Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen.

2 Anage huteno afuhe'impinti Josefe'a 5fu'a vahe zamavareno Fero avure vigeno,

Five men also the last of his brethren, he presented before the king:

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 asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, 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 are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.

5 Anante Fero'a Josefena anage huno asmine, Negafa'ene, kafuhe'zanena kagritega e'naze.

The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.

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 before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers 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 presented him before him: and he blessed him.

8 Fero'a anage huno antahige'ne, Kagra nama'a zagegafu hu'nane?

And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy 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 answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.

10 Jekopu'a asomu ke Ferona hunteteno atreno vu'ne.

And blessing the king, he went out.

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.

But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.

12 Josefe'a nefane, afuhe'ine, nefa nompima nemaniza vahe'ene, osi mofavre naga'enena, mani'naza avamente ne'zana zami'ne.

And he nourished them, and all his father’s house, allowing food to every 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 want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.

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.

Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king’s treasure.

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 wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no 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 answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no 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 in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of 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.

And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.

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.

Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king’s servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into 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.

So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao’s hands:

21 Hagi Josefe'a ana mika vahetamina kazokazo eri'za vahere huno, Isipi mopamofo ruga raga atupa'aregati zamavareno, ranra kumatmimpi ome zamante'ne.

And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,

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 given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced 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.

Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: 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.

That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for 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 answered: Our life is in thy hand: only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.

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 unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.

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.

So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it: and grew, 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 came to a 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 saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness 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 will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors. And Joseph answered him: I will do what thou hast commanded.

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: Swear then to me. And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the bed’s head.
