Genesis 47
1 Ke ma inge Joseph el eis limekosr sin mwet lel ac som nu yorol tokosra. El fahk nu sel tokosra, “Papa tumuk ac mwet lik nukewa tuku tari liki acn Canaan, us un kosro natulos ac ma nukewa lalos. Ingena elos muta oasr in acn Goshen.”
And Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said, My father and my brethren, and their sheep and their cattle, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2 Na toko el tukakunang mwet wial nu sel tokosra.
And he took from the whole number of his brethren, five men, and set them before Pharaoh.
3 Ac tokosra el siyuk selos, “Orekma su lomtal?” Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, kut mwet shepherd oana mwet matu lasr somla.
And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers.
4 Kut tuku in muta in facl se inge, mweyen sracl se inge arulana upa in acn Canaan, ac wangin mah kosro natusr uh in kang we. Nunak munas, lela nu sesr in muta in acn Goshen.”
And they said to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for the sheep that thy servants have, for the famine is grievous in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 Tokosra el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Inge ke papa tomom ac mwet lim nukewa tuku tari,
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
6 elos sukosok in muta kutena acn in facl Egypt. Tuh lela elos in oakwuki in acn Goshen, acn ma wo emeet in facl se inge. Ac fin oasr mwet pisrla inmasrlolos, sang in karingin un kosro nutik.”
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land settle thy father and thy brethren: let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if thou knowest men of activity among them, then set them as overseers of cattle over what I have.
7 Toko Joseph el usalu Jacob, papa tumal, ac tukakunulang nu sel tokosra. Jacob el akinsewowoyal tokosra,
And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 ac tokosra el siyuk sel, “Kom yac ekasr?”
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9 Jacob el topuk, “Nga tuh forot forma liki facl nu ke facl ke yac siofok tolngoul. Yac in forfor luk inge tiana pus, tusruktu arulana upa — tia oana yac puspis ma mwet matu luk elos tuh fufahsryesr kac meet ah.”
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they do not attain to the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojourning.
10 Jacob el sifilpa akinsewowoyal tokosra na el som liki inkul sin tokosra.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.
11 Na Joseph el oakiya papa tumal ac mwet lel nukewa in Egypt, ac sang acn lalos ke acn ma wo oemeet, yen ma apkuran nu ke siti lun Rameses, oana ke tokosra el sap.
And Joseph settled his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 Joseph el fosrngakin mwe mongo nun papa tumal, mwet lel kewa, ac mwet saya nukewa in sou lun papa tumal, weang pac tulik srisrik nukewa.
And Joseph maintained his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to the number of the little ones.
13 Sracl sac tuh arulana upa, oru wanginla mongo in acn nukewa, na mwet Egypt ac mwet Canaan elos munasla ke masrinsral.
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very grievous; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted through the famine.
14 Ke elos moli wheat uh, Joseph el eisani mani nukewa ac usla nu inkul fulat sel tokosra.
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 Ke lisr mani nukewa in acn Egypt ac Canaan, mwet Egypt elos tuku nu yorol Joseph ac fahk, “Se kutu mongo ah nasr! Nimet lela kut in misa. Kasrekut! Lisr nufon mani lasr uh!”
And when money came to an end in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread! for why should we die before thee? for [our] money is all gone.
16 Ac Joseph el fahk, “Use un kosro nutuwos an. Nga ac sot mwe mongo in sang aol, fin lisr nufon mani an.”
And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if [your] money be all gone.
17 Ke ma inge elos use kosro natulos nu yorol Joseph, ac el sang mwe mongo aolla horse, sheep, nani, cow, ac donkey natulos uh. Ke yac sac el sang mwe mongo aol kain in kosro nukewa.
And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread for horses, and for flocks of sheep, and for herds of cattle, and for asses; and he fed them with bread for all their cattle that year.
18 Yac toko ah, elos sifilpa foloko nu yorol ac fahk, “Kut ac tia wikin nu sum lah pwaye lisr mani lasr uh, ac inge kosro natusr nukewa ma pac nutum. Wangin ma lula yorosr in sot nu sum sayen manosr ac acn lasr uh.
And that year ended; and they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide [it] from my lord that since [our] money is come to an end, and the herds of cattle are in the possession of my lord, nothing is left before my lord but our bodies and our land.
19 Nik kom lela kut in misa. Kasrekut! Nimet lela ima lasr uh in sisila. Molikutla ac acn lasr uh ke mwe mongo. Kut ac fah mwet kohs lal tokosra, ac acn lasr uh ac fah ma lal. Se kutu wheat an nasr kut in tia misa, ac kutu fita an nu sesr kut in yukwiya in ima lasr uh.
Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen to Pharaoh; and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.
20 Joseph el molela acn nukewa in Egypt lal tokosra. Ke sripen sracl sac arulana upa, mwet Egypt nukewa kukakunla acn lalos, ac facl sac nufon ma lac lal tokosra.
And Joseph bought all the soil of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them; and the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Joseph el oru tuh mwet yen nukewa in facl Egypt elos in mwet kohs lac lal tokosra.
And as for the people, he removed them into the cities, from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end of it.
22 Pwayena acn el tia molela pa acn lun mwet tol. Mwet tol elos tia enenu in kukakin acn lalos uh, mweyen oasr kasru lun tokosra nu selos ke mwe mongo pacl nukewa, ac ma inge pa elos moulkin uh.
Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had an assigned portion from Pharaoh, and ate their assigned portion which Pharaoh had given them; so they did not sell their land.
23 Joseph el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Liye, nga molikowosla ac facl suwos nukewa tari tuh in ma lal tokosra. Ac fita pa inge, ma kowos in yoki in ima lowos.
And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow the land.
24 Fin sun pacl in kosrani, kowos enenu in sang sie tafu limekosr lal tokosra. Ma lula an kowos ku in orekmakin nu ke mwe yok, ac mwe mongo nowos ac sou lowos an.”
And it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth to Pharaoh, and the four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
25 Ac elos topuk, “Leum lasr, kut ac fah mwet kohs lal tokosra, mweyen kom oru wo nu sesr ac molikutla.”
And they said, Thou hast saved us alive. Let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen.
26 Ouinge Joseph el orala tuh in sie ma sap in facl Egypt, tuh sie tafu limekosr ke ma kosrani in ma lun tokosra. Ma sap se inge srakna orekmakinyuk nwe misenge. Acn lun mwet tol mukena tia wi oaoala mu ma lun tokosra.
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, [that] the fifth should be for Pharaoh, except the land of the priests: theirs alone did not become Pharaoh's.
27 Mwet Israel elos muta Egypt in acn Goshen, yen ma elos kasrupi we ac pukanteni tulik natulos.
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
28 Jacob el muta Egypt yac singoul itkosr, nwe ke el sun yac siofok angngaul itkosr.
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.
29 Ke el apkuran in misa, el solalma Joseph, wen natul, ac fahk nu sel, “Likiya poum inmasrlon epuk ac oru sie wulela na ku an lah kom ac tia pikinyuwi in acn Egypt.
And the days of Israel approached that he should die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt;
30 Nga lungse pukpuki yen na papa tumuk elos pukpuki we. Usyula liki acn Egypt ac pikinyuwi yen elos pukpuki we.” Ac Joseph el fahk, “Nga ac oru oana kom fahk an.”
but when I shall lie with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their sepulchre. And he said, I will do according to thy word.
31 Jacob el fahk, “Fulahk lah kom ac oru ouingan.” Na Joseph el orala fulahk lal, ac Jacob el oanna fin mwe oan kial, ac fahk kulo nu sel Joseph.
And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel worshipped on the bed's head.
