Genesisy 47
1 Aa le nimb’amy Parò ao t’Iosefe le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa totsak’ atoy boak’an-tane’ Kanàne añe ty raeko naho o rahalahikoo, rekets’ o mpirai-lia’eo naho o mpirai-tro’eo vaho o fanaña’ iareo iabio; oniño t’ie fa mitoetse an-tane Gosena añe.
Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen.
2 Nendese’e t’indaty lime amo rahalahi’eo vaho nampiatrefe’e amy Parò.
Five men also the last of his brethren, he presented before the king:
3 Hoe t’i Parò amy rahalahi’e rey, Ino ty fitoloña’ areo? Le hoe iereo amy Parò, Mpiarak’ añondry o mpitoro’oo, zahay naho o roae’aio.
And he asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
4 Hoe iereo amy Parò, Pok’etoan-jahay hañialo an-tane atoy; amy te tsy aman-tane hiandraza’e o mpirai-liam-pitoro’oo ami’ty hamafe’ i hasalikoañe an-tane Kanàney. Aa ehe, angao hitoetse an-tane Gosena añe o mpitoro’oo.
We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.
5 Le hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Fa totsak’ ama’o ty rae’o naho o rahalahi’oo.
The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
6 Añatrefa’o ty tane Mitsraime, ampañialo an-tane kobokara iereo; angao hitoetse an-tane Gosena añe; aa naho rendre’o ze mahatafetetse am’iereo, le ampamandroñeñe iareo o harekoo.
The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.
7 Nampihovae’ Iosefe amy zao ty rae’e vaho nampiatrefe’e amy Parò, le nitata i Parò t’Iakòbe.
After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.
8 Hoe t’i Parò am’ Iakòbe, Fire ty taoñe niveloma’o?
And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9 Hoe t’Iakòbe amy Parò, Zato-tsi-telo-polo ty andro’ o taoñe nañialoako an-tane atoy; tsy ampeampe vaho nampifeak’ ahy ty andro’ o taoñe nivelomakoo fa tsy nahatàkatse ty andro’ o taon-droaeko amo andro nañialoa’ iareoo.
He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.
10 Tinata’ Iakòbe t’i Parò vaho nienga boak’ añatrefa’ i Parò.
And blessing the king, he went out.
11 Aa le nampimoneña’ Iosefe t’i rae’e naho o rahalahi’eo vaho tinolo’e fanañañe an-tane Mitsraime ao, ty tane hoba amy taney, an-tane Ramsese ao ty amy saontsi’ i Paròy.
But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.
12 Le nifahana’ Iosefe ty rae’e naho o rahalahi’eo, naho ty añ’anjomban-drae’e iaby ami’ty mahakama ho am-bava’ o keleia’eo.
And he nourished them, and all his father’s house, allowing food to every one.
13 Ie amy zay tsy ama’ mahakama i tane iabiy, amy te nimafe i san-kerey. Nikantañe ty an-tane Mitsraime ao naho an tane’ Kanàne añe ty amy hasalikoañey.
For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.
14 Natonto’ Iosefe ze hene drala nioniñe an-tane Mitsraime ao naho an-tane Kanàne ao, ampitsalohañe ty mahakama nikaloa’ iareo vaho nasese’ Iosefe añ’anjomba’ i Parò ao o dralao.
Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king’s treasure.
15 Ie nikapaike ze hene drala an-tane Mitsraime naho an-tane Kanàne añe, le nivotrak’ am’ Iosefe o hene nte-Mitsraimeo nanao ty hoe, Añomezo mahakama! Hatao akore ty hivetraha’ay añatrefa’o? Fa kòake o dralao.
And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.
16 Le hoe ty natoi’ Iosefe, Meo ahiko ty hare’ areo, le ho tolorako mahakama ampitsalohañe hare kanao kapai-drala.
And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.
17 Aa le nendese’ iareo am’ Iosefe ty hare’ iareo vaho tinolo’ Iosefe mahakama ampikaloañe soavala naho o añondri’ iareo naho o añombe’ iareo naho o birikeo, le finaha’e mahakama amy taoñey o hare’ iareoo.
And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.
18 Ie nimodo i taoñey le niheo ama’e mb’eo amy taoñe nanonjohiy iereo, nanao ty hoe, Tsy hai’ay aetak’ amy talè’aiy te fa kapioke o drala’aio naho fa amy talè’ay ze troke añombe. Le tsy eo ty añatrefam-pihaino’ o talè’aio naho tsy o sandri’aio naho o tane’aio.
And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.
19 Inoñe ty hikoromaha’ay naho o tane’aio añatrefam-pihaino’o? Vilio zahay naho o tane’aio hatakalo i mahakamay. Ho ondevo’ i Parò zahay naho o tane’ay iabio; fe meo tabiry tsy hivetraha’ay vaho te tsy hangoakoake i taney.
Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king’s servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.
20 Aa le hene kinalo’ Iosefe ty tane Mitsraime ho a i Parò. Fa songa nandetake i tete’ey o nte-Mitsraimeo ami’ty hamafe’ i san-kerey ama’e; aa le niazo’ i Parò i taney.
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao’s hands:
21 Le ty am’ ondatio, naveve’e mb’an-drova ao, sikal’ ami’ty efe’ i Mitsraime añe pak’ añ’efe’e ila’e ka.
And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,
22 Ty tane’ o mpisoroñeo avao ty tsy vinili’e; amy te nahazo vati-jadoñe erik’ amy Parò naho nikama i vaty namahana’ i Parò iareoy vaho tsy naleta’ iareo o taneo.
Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.
23 Le hoe t’Iosefe am’ondatio, Kanao nikaloeko ama’areo anindroany ho a i Parò o sandri’ areoo naho ty tane’areo, intoy ty tabiry ho anahareo; tongiso i taney.
Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,
24 Le hatolo’ areo amy Parò am-pitatahañe añe ty faha-lime’e naho ho tana’areo ty faha-lime’e efatse ho tabiry amo tonda’ areoo, le ho mahakama’ areo naho ho a o añ’anjomba’ areoo vaho ho a o keleia’ areoo.
That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for food for your families and children.
25 Hoe iereo, Fa rinomba’o ty fiai’ay, aa ehe te hahatendrek’ isoke am-pahaoniñan-talekoy, le ho mpitoro’ i Parò zahay.
And they answered: Our life is in thy hand: only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.
26 Aa le nanoe’ Iosefe fañè an-tane Mitsraime pak’ androany te a i Parò ty faha-lime’e naho tsy ty tane’ o mpisoroñeo avao, ie tsy nivalike ho amy Parò.
From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.
27 Aa le nitoetse an-tane Mitsraime, an-tane Gosena añe t’Israele vaho nanontoñe vara ao, le namokatse vaho nangetseketseke.
So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it: and grew, and was multiplied exceedingly.
28 Nimoneñe an-tane Mitsraime ao folo-tao-fito’amby t’Iakòbe. Aa le zato-tsi-efapolo-fito’ amby taoñe ty andro niveloma’ Iakòbe.
And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years.
29 Ie nitotoke ty fañitoza’ Israele, le kinanji’e t’Iosefe ana-dahi’e le hoe ty nafè’e: Ie nahaonim-pañisohañe am-pahaisaha’o, le ehe aziliho ambane’ foto-peko ao ty fità’o havana vaho atraho am-patarihañe naho havantañañe. Ko mandeveñe ahy e Mitsraime atoy;
And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt:
30 aa kanao hindre hitsalalampatse aman-droaeko ao, le takono hiakatse i Mitsraime vaho alenteho an-kibori’ iareo ao. Hoe ty natoi’e, Hene hanoeko o nisaontsie’oo,
But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors. And Joseph answered him: I will do what thou hast commanded.
31 le hoe re, Mifantà amako, le nifanta’e, vaho nibokok’ antondohàm-pandrea’e eo t’Israele.
And he said: Swear then to me. And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the bed’s head.
