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.”

Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, they are in the land of Goshen."

2 Na toko el tukakunang mwet wial nu sel tokosra.

And from among his brothers he took five men and presented 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.

Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your 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, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."

5 Tokosra el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Inge ke papa tomom ac mwet lim nukewa tuku tari,

Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,

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.”

and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

7 Toko Joseph el usalu Jacob, papa tumal, ac tukakunulang nu sel tokosra. Jacob el akinsewowoyal tokosra,

Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented 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 your 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.”

So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been the years of my life, and they have not attained 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.

Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.

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.

Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property 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 provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.

13 Sracl sac tuh arulana upa, oru wanginla mongo in acn nukewa, na mwet Egypt ac mwet Canaan elos munasla ke masrinsral.

Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because of the famine.

14 Ke elos moli wheat uh, Joseph el eisani mani nukewa ac usla nu inkul fulat sel tokosra.

Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's treasury.

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 the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."

16 Ac Joseph el fahk, “Use un kosro nutuwos an. Nga ac sot mwe mongo in sang aol, fin lisr nufon mani an.”

Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is 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.

So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock for 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.

When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except our bodies and our lands.

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 your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become 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.

So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on them. So 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 subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt 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 he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not have to 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.

Then Joseph said to the people, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in 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 will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as 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.”

Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."

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.

So Joseph made it a statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.

27 Mwet Israel elos muta Egypt in acn Goshen, yen ma elos kasrupi we ac pukanteni tulik natulos.

So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.

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. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred 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 time approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me 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 lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."

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.

Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.
