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.

Then came Joseph and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, 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 some of his brothers, five men, and presented 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 unto his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, as also 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.

They said moreover unto Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; because there is no pasture for the flocks of thy servants, for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan; and now let thy servants dwell, we pray thee, 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 said unto Joseph, thus, Thy father and thy brothers are come unto 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 let thy father and brothers dwell; let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if thou knowest that there are among them men of activity, then appoint them rulers over my cattle.

7 Dia nentin’ i Josefa ho eo anatrehan’ i Farao Jakoba rainy; ary Jakoba dia nisaotra an’ i Farao.

And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and placed him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8 Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Jakoba: Firy taona moa no andro niainanao?

And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?

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 unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

10 Ary Jakoba, rehefa nisaotra an’ i Farao, dia lasa niala teo anatrehany.

And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before 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 assigned places of residence for his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Ra'meses, 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 supplied his father, and his brothers, and all his father's household, with bread, in proportion to their families.

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 sore; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of 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 corn 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 the money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence, since the money is all gone?

16 Ary hoy kosa Josefa: Omeo ny omby aman’ ondrinareo hotakalozako, raha lany ny vola.

And Joseph said, Give up your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if the 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 unto Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks of sheep, and for the herds of cattle, and for the asses; and he supplied them with bread for all their cattle for 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 when that year was ended, they came unto him in the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money with our herds of cattle hath entirely passed into the possession of my lord; there is naught left in sight of 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.

Wherefore 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 unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not rendered 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 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 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 to the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end thereof.

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 bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them by Pharaoh, and they ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them: therefore 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.

Then said Joseph unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow ye 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 harvest times, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh; and four parts shall be your own, for the seed of the field, and for your food, and for those belonging to 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 our lives: let us but find grace in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

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 statute unto this day over the land of Egypt, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests alone became not 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 country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, 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 one hundred forty and 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 when the time of Israel drew near that he was to die, he sent to call his son Joseph, and said unto him, if now I have found grace in thy eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh; and deal with me in kindness and truth; 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 burying-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

31 Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan’ ny farafara Isiraely.

And he said, Swear unto me; and he swore unto him; and Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
