Genesisy 47
1 Ary Josefa nankao amin’ i Farao ka nilaza taminy hoe: Ny raiko sy ny rahalahiko ary ny ondry aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny mbamin’ izay rehetra ananany dia efa tonga avy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana; ka, indreo, ao amin’ ny tany Gosena izy.
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 Ary ny dimy lahy tamin’ ny rahalahiny no nalainy ka nentiny teo anatrehan’ i Farao.
And he took from the whole number of his brethren, five men, and set them before Pharaoh.
3 Ary hoy Farao tamin’ ireo rahalahin’ i Josefa: Inona moa no raharaha fanaonareo? Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Farao: Mpiandry ondry izahay mpanomponao hatramin’ ny razanay.
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 Ary hoy koa izy tamin’ i Farao: Mba hivahiny eto amin’ ity tany ity no nihavianay; fa tsy misy ahitra ho an’ ny ondry aman’ osin’ ny mpanomponao, fa mafy ny mosary any amin’ ny tany Kanana; koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka mba honina ao amin’ ny tany Gosena ny mpanomponao.
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 Ary Farao dia niteny tamin’ i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Ny rainao sy ny rahalahinao efa tonga atỳ aminao;
And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
6 ny tany Egypta dia eo anoloanao; koa amin’ izay tany tsara indrindra no amponeno ny rainao sy ny rahalahinao; aoka honina ao amin’ ny tany Gosena izy ary raha fantatrao fa misy lehilahy mahay eo aminy, tendreo izy ho lehiben’ ny mpiandry ny omby aman’ ondriko.
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 Dia nentin’ i Josefa ho eo anatrehan’ i Farao Jakoba rainy; ary Jakoba dia nisaotra an’ i Farao.
And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Jakoba: Firy taona moa no andro niainanao?
And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9 Dia hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Farao: Telo-polo amby zato taona no andro nivahiniako; sady vitsy no ratsy ny andro niainako ka tsy nahatratra ny andro niainan’ ny razako tamin’ ny andro nivahiniany.
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 Ary Jakoba, rehefa nisaotra an’ i Farao, dia lasa niala teo anatrehany.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.
11 Dia namponenin’ i Josefa ny rainy sy ny rahalahiny ka nomeny zara-tany tao amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia tao amin’ ny tany tsara indrindra, tao amin’ ny tany Ramesesa, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Farao.
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 Dia novelomin’ i Josefa tamin’ ny hanina ny rainy sy ny rahalahiny mbamin’ ny ankohonan’ ny rainy rehetra, araka ny isan’ ny zanany avy.
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 Ary tsy nisy hanina teo amin’ ny tany rehetra; fa mafy indrindra ny mosary, ka efa reraka ny tany Egypta sy ny tany Kanana noho ny mosary.
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 Dia nangonin’ i Josefa ny vola rehetra izay hita tany amin’ ny tany Egypta sy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana, dia izay vidin’ ny vary novidin’ ny olona, ka nampidirin’ i Josefa tao an-tranon’ i Farao ny vola.
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 Ary rehefa lany avokoa ny vola tany amin’ ny tany Egypta sy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana, dia nankeo amin’ i Josefa ny Egyptiana rehetra ka nanao hoe: Omeo hanina izahay; fa nahoana no dia ho faty eto anatrehanao izahay? fa efa lany avokoa ny vola.
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 Ary hoy kosa Josefa: Omeo ny omby aman’ ondrinareo hotakalozako, raha lany ny vola.
And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if [your] money be all gone.
17 Dia nentiny tany amin’ i Josefa ny omby aman’ ondriny, ka notakalozan’ i Josefa hanina ny soavaliny sy ny ondry aman’ osiny ary ny ombiny sy ny borikiny; dia nomeny hanina izy tamin’ izany taona izany ho takalon’ ny bibiny rehetra.
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 Ary rehefa tapitra izany taona izany, dia nankeo aminy indray ny olona tamin’ ny taona faharoa ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy azonay afenina amin’ itompokolahy fa efa lany ny vola, ary efa lasan’ itompokolahy avokoa ny biby fiompy; tsy misy na inona na inona intsony eto imason’ itompokolahy afa-tsy ny tenanay sy ny taninay;
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 nahoana no dia ho faty izahay eto anatrehanao, dia izahay sy ny taninay? Takalozy hanina ny tenanay sy ny taninay, dia ho mpanompon’ i Farao izahay sy ny taninay: ary omeo voa hafafy izahay, mba ho velona, fa tsy ho faty, ary mba tsy ho lao ny tany.
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 Dia notakalozan’ i Josefa ho an’ i Farao ny tany Egypta rehetra; fa ny Egyptiana samy nanakalo ny sahany avy, satria resy mosary izy; ary dia lasan’ i Farao ny tany.
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 Ary ny olona dia nafindrany ho ao amin’ ny tanàna hatramin’ ny faran’ ny faritr’ i Egypta rehetra.
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 Ny tanin’ ny mpisorona ihany no tsy mba natakalony; fa nanana anjara tamin’ i Farao ny mpisorona ka nihinana ny anjara izay nomen’ i Farao azy; izany no tsy nanakalozany ny taniny.
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 Dia hoy Josefa tamin’ ny olona: Indro, efa voavidiko androany ianareo sy ny taninareo ho an’ i Farao; koa indreny ny voa hafafinareo, dia hofafazanareo ny tany.
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 Ary rehefa misy vokatra, dia haterinareo ho an’ i Farao ny ampahadiminy; ary ho anareo kosa ny efa-toko, ho voa hafafy any an-tsaha sy hohaninareo mbamin’ izay ao an-tranonareo ary hohanin’ ny zanakareo.
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 Ary hoy izy: Efa namonjy ny ainay ianao; aoka mba hahita fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy izahay, dia ho mpanompon’ i Farao.
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 Dia nataon’ i Josefa ho lalana tany amin’ ny tany Egypta mandraka androany izany; fa ho an’ i Farao ny ampahadiminy; fa ny tanin’ ny mpisorona ihany no tsy mba lasan’ i Farao.
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 Ary nonina tao amin’ ny tany Egypta ny Isiraely, dia tao amin’ ny tany Gosena; ary nahazo zara-tany tao izy, dia nihamaro anaka ka nihabetsaka indrindra.
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 Ary ny andro niainan’ i Jakoba tao amin’ ny tany Egypta dia fito ambin’ ny folo taona; koa ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Jakoba dia fito amby efa-polo amby zato taona.
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 Ary rehefa antomotra ny andro hahafatesan’ Isiraely, dia nampaka an’ i Josefa zanany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mba nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, masìna ianao, ataovy ato ambanin’ ny feko ny tananao, ka ataovy amiko izay soa sy izay marina; masìna ianao aza alevina atỳ Egypta aho.
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 Fa rehefa lasa mody mandry any amin’ ny razako aho, dia ho entinao hiala atỳ Egypta ka halevinao ao amin’ ny fasany. Dia hoy Josefa: Hanao araka ny teninao aho.
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 Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan’ ny farafara Isiraely.
And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel worshipped on the bed's head.
