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 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 Na ka tango ia i etahi o ona tuakana, tokorima, a whakaturia ana ratou e ia ki te aroaro o Parao.
From amongst his brothers he took five men, and presented them to 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.
Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, 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 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 Na ka korero a Parao ki a Hohepa, ka mea, Kua tae mai nei tou papa me ou tuakana ki a koe:
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
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 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 amongst them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
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.
Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 A ka mea a Parao ki a Hakopa, Ka hia ou tau?
Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
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.
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and 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 Na ka manaaki a Hakopa i a Parao, a puta atu ana i te aroaro o Parao.
Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out 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.
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 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.
Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
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.
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 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:
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 A ka mea ratou, Ka ora matou i a koe: kia manakohia matou e toku ariki, hei pononga matou ma Parao.
They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favour in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred and forty-seven years.
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:
The time came near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favour 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 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 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 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.
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
