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 came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come from 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 some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them to 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 also 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.”
They said moreover to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan: now therefore, 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 have 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 make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7 Toko Joseph el usalu Jacob, papa tumal, ac tukakunulang nu sel tokosra. Jacob el akinsewowoyal tokosra,
And Joseph brought in 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 old art thou?
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 pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, nor have they attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 Jacob el sifilpa akinsewowoyal tokosra na el som liki inkul sin tokosra.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before 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 placed 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 nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
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 severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14 Ke elos moli wheat uh, Joseph el eisani mani nukewa ac usla nu inkul fulat sel tokosra.
And Joseph gathered 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 failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
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 money hath failed.
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 in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle 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 ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but 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 shall we die before thy eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, 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 land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over 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 removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to its other end.
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 bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore they sold not their lands.
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, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall 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 harvest, that ye shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and 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 our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
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 Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not 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 country of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and grew, 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: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred and forty and 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 drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, 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 I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
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 bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
