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 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 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.
From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to 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.
Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your 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.
They also said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your 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;
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
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 you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
7 Dia nentin’ i Josefa ho eo anatrehan’ i Farao Jakoba rainy; ary Jakoba dia nisaotra an’ i Farao.
Joseph brought in 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?
Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
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.
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. The days of the years of my life have been few and evil. They have not attained to 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.
Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of 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.
Joseph placed 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 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.
Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of 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.
There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that 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.
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.
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 bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”
16 Ary hoy kosa Josefa: Omeo ny omby aman’ ondrinareo hotakalozako, raha lany ny vola.
Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is 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.
They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock 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;
When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
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 your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be 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.
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on 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.
As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border 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 he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t 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 Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall 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.
It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, 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.
They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight 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.
Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t 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.
Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves 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.
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 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.
The time came near that Israel must die, and he called 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 don’t bury me 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 sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
31 Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan’ ny farafara Isiraely.
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
