< Kenehi 47 >

1 Na ka haere a Hohepa, ka korero ki a Parao, ka mea, Kua tae mai toku papa me oku tuakana, me a ratou kahui, a ratou kau, a ratou mea katoa, i te whenua o Kanaana; na, kei te whenua ratou o Kohena.
Then came Ioseph and tolde Pharaoh, and sayde, My father, and my brethren, and their sheepe, and their cattell, and all that they haue, are come out of the land of Canaan, and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2 Na ka tango ia i etahi o ona tuakana, tokorima, a whakaturia ana ratou e ia ki te aroaro o Parao.
And Ioseph tooke part of his brethren, euen fiue men, and presented them vnto Pharaoh.
3 A ka mea a Parao ki ona tuakana, He aha ta koutou na mahi? A ka mea ratou ki a Parao, He hepara au pononga, matou me o matou matua.
Then Pharaoh said vnto his brethren, What is your trade? And they answered Pharaoh, Thy seruants are shepheards, both we and our fathers.
4 I mea ano ratou ki a Parao, He noho ki tenei whenua i haere mai ai matou; no te mea kahore he kai ma nga hipi a au pononga; he nui hoki te matekai o te whenua o Kanaana: koia ra kia noho au pononga ki te whenua o Kohena.
They sayde moreouer vnto Pharaoh, For to soiourne in ye lande are we come: for thy seruants haue no pasture for their sheepe, so sore is ye famine in the lande of Canaan. Nowe therefore, we pray thee, let thy seruants dwel in the land of Goshen.
5 Na ka korero a Parao ki a Hohepa, ka mea, Kua tae mai nei tou papa me ou tuakana ki a koe:
Then spake Pharaoh to Ioseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come vnto thee.
6 Kei tou aroaro te whenua o Ihipa; whakanohoia e koe tou papa me ou tuakana ki te wahi pai o te whenua; kia noho ratou ki te whenua o Kohena: ki te mea hoki e mohiotia ana e koe etahi tangata pakari i roto i a ratou, meinga ratou hei rangatira mo aku kararehe.
The lande of Egypt is before thee: in the best place of the land make thy father and thy brethren dwel: let the dwel in the land of Goshen: and if thou knowest that there be men of actiuitie among them, make them rulers ouer my cattell.
7 Na ka kawea mai a Hakopa, tona papa, e Hohepa, ka whakaturia ki te aroaro o Parao; a ka manaaki a Hakopa i a Parao.
Ioseph also brought Iaakob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Iaakob saluted Pharaoh.
8 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hakopa, Ka hia ou tau?
Then Pharaoh sayde vnto Iaakob, Howe olde art thou?
9 Ka mea a Hakopa ki a Parao, Ka kotahi rau e toru tekau tau nga ra o nga tau o toku noho manene: he torutoru, a he kino nga ra o nga tau o toku ora, kihai ano hoki i rite ki nga ra o nga tau o te ora o oku matua, i nga ra i noho manene ai ratou.
And Iaakob sayd vnto Pharaoh, The whole time of my pilgrimage is an hundreth and thirty yeeres: fewe and euill haue the dayes of my life bene, and I haue not attayned vnto the yeeres of the life of my fathers, in the dayes of their pilgrimages.
10 Na ka manaaki a Hakopa i a Parao, a puta atu ana i te aroaro o Parao.
And Iaakob tooke leaue of Pharaoh, and departed from the presence of Pharaoh.
11 Na ka whakanohoia e Hohepa tona papa me ona tuakana, a hoatu ana e ia ki a ratou he kainga i te whenua o Ihipa, i te wahi pai rawa o te whenua, i te whenua o Ramehehe, pera me ta Parao i whakahau ai.
And Ioseph placed his father, and his brethren, and gaue them possession in the lande of Egypt, in the best of the land, euen in the lande of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 Na ka atawhai a Hohepa i tona papa, ratou ko ona tuakana, ko te whare katoa ano hoki o tona papa ki te taro, he mea whakarite tonu ki o ratou hapu.
And Ioseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his fathers houshold with bread, euen to the yong children.
13 A kahore he taro o te whenua katoa; he nui rawa hoki te matekai; a hemo noa iho te whenua o Ihipa i te matekai, me te whenua hoki o Kanaana.
Now there was no bread in all the land: for the famine was exceeding sore: so that the land of Egypt, and the land of Canaan were famished by reason of the famine.
14 A kohia ana e Hohepa te moni katoa i kitea ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te whenua hoki o Kanaana, mo te witi i hokona e ratou: a kawea ana e Hohepa te moni ki te whare o Parao.
And Ioseph gathered all the money, that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corne which they bought, and Ioseph layd vp the money in Pharaohs house.
15 A, no te potonga o te moni o te whenua o Ihipa, o te whenua hoki o Kanaana, na ka haere nga Ihipiana katoa ki a Hohepa, ka mea, Homai he taro ki a matou: kia mate hoki matou ki tou aroaro hei aha? kua poto nei hoki te moni.
So when money fayled in the lande of Egypt, and in the lande of Canaan, then all the Egyptians came vnto Ioseph, and sayde, Giue vs bread: for why should we dye before thee? for our money is spent.
16 Na ka mea a Hohepa, Homai a koutou kararehe; a ka hoatu e ahau hei utu mo a koutou kararehe, i te mea kua poto te moni.
Then saide Ioseph, Bring your cattell, and I will giue you for your cattell, if your money be spent.
17 Na ka kawea mai e ratou a ratou kararehe ki a Hohepa: a hoatu ana e Hohepa he taro ki a ratou hei utu mo nga hoiho, mo nga kahui hipi, mo nga kahui kau, mo nga kaihe: a whangaia ana ratou e ia ki te taro i taua tau, hei utu mo a ratou kararehe k atoa.
So they brought their cattell vnto Ioseph, and Ioseph gaue them bread for the horses, and for the flockes of sheepe, and for the heards of cattel, and for the asses: so he fed them with bread for all their cattell that yeere.
18 A, no te takanga o taua tau, ka haere mai ratou ki a ia i te rua o nga tau, ka mea ki a ia, E kore e huna e matou i toku ariki, kua poto te moni; kei toku ariki hoki a matou kahui kararehe; kahore he mea e toe ana hei tirohanga ma toku ariki, ko o matou tinana anake, me o matou oneone:
But when the yeere was ended, they came vnto him the next yeere, and sayd vnto him, We will not hide from my lord, that since our money is spent, and my lord hath the heards of the cattel, there is nothing left in the sight of my lorde, but our bodies and our ground.
19 Kia mate matou ki tou aroaro hei aha? matou tahi hoki me to matou oneone? hokona matou me to matou oneone ki te taro, a ka riro matou me to matou oneone hei pononga ma Parao: homai ano hoki he purapura, a ka ora matou, a e kore e mate, e kore an o hoki e ururuatia te whenua.
Why shall we perish in thy sight, both we, and our land? bye vs and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bonde to Pharaoh: therefore giue vs seede, that we may liue and not dye, and that the land go not to waste.
20 Na ka hokona e Hohepa te oneone katoa o Ihipa mo Parao: i hokona hoki e nga Ihipiana tana mara, tana mara; he pehi rawa hoki na te matekai i a ratou: a riro ana te whenua i a Parao.
So Ioseph bought all the lande of Egypt for Pharaoh: for the Egyptians solde euery man his ground because the famine was sore vpon the: so the land became Pharaohs.
21 Tena ko nga tangata, i whakawhitiwhitia e ia ki nga pa, i tetahi pito o nga rohe o Ihipa a puta noa ki tetahi pito o reira.
And he remoued the people vnto the cities, from one side of Egypt euen to the other.
22 Ko te oneone anake ia o nga tohunga kihai i hokona e ia; i whakaritea hoki tetahi wahi e Parao ma nga tohunga, a i kai ratou i ta ratou wahi i homai e Parao ma ratou: koia te hokona ai e ratou o ratou oneone.
Onely the lande of the Priestes bought he not: for the Priestes had an ordinarie of Pharaoh, and they did eate their ordinarie, which Pharaoh gaue them: wherefore they solde not their grounde.
23 A ka mea a Hohepa ki te iwi, Nana, kua hokona nei koutou e ahau inaianei, me to koutou oneone, ma Parao: na, he purapura ma koutou, ruia te whenua.
Then Ioseph sayd vnto the people, Behold, I haue bought you this daye, and your lande for Pharaoh: lo, here is seede for you: sowe therefore the grounde.
24 A, ka whai hua a mua, me homai e koutou te rima o nga wahi ki a Parao, a ma koutou nga wahi e wha, hei purapura mo te mara, hei kai hoki ma koutou, ma te hunga hoki i roto i o koutou whare, hei kai ano hoki ma a koutou tamariki.
And of the encrease ye shall giue the fifth part vnto Pharaoh, and foure partes shalbe yours for the seede of the fielde, and for your meate, and for them of your housholdes, and for your children to eate.
25 A ka mea ratou, Ka ora matou i a koe: kia manakohia matou e toku ariki, hei pononga matou ma Parao.
Then they answered, Thou hast saued our liues: let vs finde grace in the sight of my Lord, and we will be Pharaohs seruants.
26 Na ka whakatakotoria te tikanga e Hohepa mo te oneone o Ihipa a tae noa mai ki tenei ra, ma Parao te rima o nga wahi; haunga ia te oneone o nga tohunga, kihai hoki tena i riro i a Parao.
Then Ioseph made it a lawe ouer the land of Egypt vnto this day, that Pharaoh should haue the fift part, except the land of the priests only, which was not Pharaohs.
27 Na ka noho a Iharaira ki te whenua o Ihipa, ki te whenua o Kohena; ka whai kainga ratou ki reira, ka hua, ka nui whakaharahara.
And Israel dwelt in the lande of Egypt, in the countrey of Goshen: and they had their possessions therein, and grewe and multiplied exceedingly.
28 A kotahi tekau ma whitu nga tau i ora ai a Hakopa ki te whenua o Ihipa: a kotahi rau e wha tekau ma whitu nga tau o te oranga o Hakopa.
Moreouer, Iaakob liued in the lande of Egypt seuenteene yeeres, so that the whole age of Iaakob was an hundreth fourtie and seuen yeere.
29 Na ka whakatata nga ra o Iharaira e mate ai ia: a ka karanga i tana tama, i a Hohepa, ka mea ki a ia, Na, ki te mea ka manakohia ahau e koe, tena, whakapakia mai tou ringa ki raro i toku huha, a whakaputaina mai he aroha, he pono ki ahau; kaua r a ahau e tanumia ki Ihipa:
Now when the time drewe neere that Israel must dye, he called his sonne Ioseph, and sayde vnto him, If I haue nowe founde grace in thy sight, put thine hand nowe vnder my thigh, and deale mercifully and truely with me: burie me not, I pray thee, in Egypt.
30 Engari kia takoto ahau ki oku matua, me kawe atu ahau e koe i Ihipa, me tanu hoki ki to ratou urupa. A ka mea ia, Ka rite i ahau tau kupu.
But when I shall sleepe with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury mee in their buryall. And he answered, I will doe as thou hast sayde.
31 A ka mea ia ki a ia, Oati mai ki ahau. A oati ana ia ki a ia. A ka pike a Iharaira ki runga ki te urunga o te moenga.
The he said, Sweare vnto me. And he sware vnto him. And Israel worshipped towardes the beds head.
