4 Bathi futhi kuFaro: Sizehlala njengabezizwe elizweni; ngoba kakuladlelo lemihlambi inceku zakho ezilayo, ngoba indlala inzima elizweni leKhanani. Khathesi-ke, inceku zakho ake zihlale elizweni leGosheni.

and to say Pharaoh to(wards) Joseph to/for to say father your and brother: male-sibling your to come (in): come to(wards) you

6 Ilizwe leGibhithe liphambi kwakho; hlalisa uyihlo labafowenu ebuhleni belizwe, kabahlale elizweni leGosheni; futhi uba usazi ukuthi kukhona phakathi kwabo amadoda azingcitshi, uwabeke abe zinduna zezifuyo phezu kwengilakho.

9 UJakobe wasesithi kuFaro: Amalanga eminyaka yobuhambuma bami ayiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amathathu; abemalutshwana emabi amalanga eminyaka yempilo yami, futhi kawafinyelelanga emalangeni eminyaka yempilo yabobaba ensukwini zobuhambuma babo.

and to say Jacob to(wards) Pharaoh day year sojourning my thirty and hundred year little and bad: evil to be day year life my and not to overtake [obj] day year life father my in/on/with day sojourning their

10 UJakobe wasebusisa uFaro, waphuma esuka ebusweni bukaFaro.

and to bless Jacob [obj] Pharaoh and to come out: come from to/for face: before Pharaoh

11 UJosefa wabahlalisa oyise labafowabo, wabapha isabelo elizweni leGibhithe, ebuhleni belizwe kulalo lonke, emkhonweni iRamesesi njengoba uFaro elayile.

and to dwell Joseph [obj] father his and [obj] brother: male-sibling his and to give: give to/for them possession in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt in/on/with best [the] land: country/planet in/on/with land: country/planet Rameses like/as as which to command Pharaoh

12 UJosefa wasebondla oyise labafowabo lendlu yonke kayise ngesinkwa, ngokomlomo wabantwanyana.

and to sustain Joseph [obj] father his and [obj] brother: male-sibling his and [obj] all house: household father his food to/for lip: according [the] child

13 Njalo kwakungelakudla elizweni lonke, ngoba indlala yayinzima kakhulu; lelizwe leGibhithe lelizwe leKhanani aphela amandla ngendlala.

and food nothing in/on/with all [the] land: country/planet for heavy [the] famine much and to languish land: country/planet Egypt and land: country/planet Canaan from face: because [the] famine

14 UJosefa wasebutha yonke imali eyatholakala elizweni leGibhithe lelizweni leKhanani, yamabele ababewathenga; uJosefa waseletha imali endlini kaFaro.

and to gather Joseph [obj] all [the] silver: money [the] to find in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt and in/on/with land: country/planet Canaan in/on/with grain which they(masc.) to buy grain and to come (in): bring Joseph [obj] [the] silver: money house: palace [to] Pharaoh

15 Kwathi imali isiphelile elizweni leGibhithe lelizweni leKhanani, wonke amaGibhithe eza kuJosefa esithi: Siphe ukudla; ngoba sizafelani phambi kwakho? Ngoba isiphelile imali.

16 UJosefa wasesithi: Lethani izifuyo zenu; njalo ngizalinika ngezifuyo zenu, uba imali isiphelile.

and to say Joseph to give livestock your and to give: give to/for you in/on/with livestock your if to end silver: money

17 Basebeletha izifuyo zabo kuJosefa; uJosefa wasebanika ukudla ngamabhiza langemfuyo yezimvu langemfuyo yenkomo langabobabhemi. Wasebondla ngokudla ngezifuyo zabo zonke ngalowomnyaka.

and to come (in): bring [obj] livestock their to(wards) Joseph and to give: give to/for them Joseph food in/on/with horse and in/on/with livestock [the] flock and in/on/with livestock [the] cattle and in/on/with donkey and to guide them in/on/with food in/on/with all livestock their in/on/with year [the] he/she/it

18 Kwathi usuphelile lowomnyaka, beza kuye ngomnyaka wesibili, bathi kuye: Kasiyikuyifihlela inkosi yethu ukuthi, njengoba imali isiphelile, lemfuyo yezifuyo isingeyenkosi yethu, kakukho okuseleyo phambi kwenkosi yethu, ngaphandle kwemizimba yethu lamasimu ethu.

and to finish [the] year [the] he/she/it and to come (in): come to(wards) him in/on/with year [the] second and to say to/for him not to hide from lord my that if: except if: except to finish [the] silver: money and livestock [the] animal to(wards) lord my not to remain to/for face: before lord my lest if: until body our and land: soil our

19 Sizafelani phambi kwamehlo akho, thina sonke lamasimu ethu? Sithenge lamasimu ethu ngokudla, thina-ke lamasimu ethu sibe zinceku zikaFaro; njalo siphe inhlanyelo ukuze siphile singafi, lokuthi umhlabathi ungalobi.

to/for what? to die to/for eye: before(the eyes) your also we also land: soil our to buy [obj] us and [obj] land: soil our in/on/with food and to be we and land: soil our servant/slave to/for Pharaoh and to give: give seed and to live and not to die and [the] land: soil not be desolate

20 UJosefa wasemthengela uFaro ilizwe lonke leGibhithe, ngoba amaGibhithe athengisa ngulowo lalowo insimu yakhe, ngoba indlala yayilamandla phezu kwabo; lelizwe laba ngelikaFaro.

and to buy Joseph [obj] all land: soil Egypt to/for Pharaoh for to sell Egyptian man: anyone land: country his for to strengthen: strengthen upon them [the] famine and to be [the] land: country/planet to/for Pharaoh

21 Njalo mayelana labantu, wabasusa baya emizini, kusukela ekupheleni komunye umngcele weGibhithe kusiya ekupheleni komunye wayo.

and [obj] [the] people to pass: bring [obj] him to/for city from end border: area Egypt and till end his

22 Kuphela ilizwe labapristi kalithenganga, ngoba abapristi balesabelo kuFaro, badla isabelo sabo uFaro ayebanika sona; ngakho kabathengisanga ilizwe labo.

except land: soil [the] priest not to buy for statute: portion to/for priest from with Pharaoh and to eat [obj] statute: portion their which to give: give to/for them Pharaoh upon so not to sell [obj] land: soil their

23 UJosefa wasesithi ebantwini: Khangelani, lamuhla ngilithengele uFaro lelizwe lenu; khangelani kulenhlanyelo yenu njalo lizahlanyela ensimini.

and to say Joseph to(wards) [the] people look! to buy [obj] you [the] day: today and [obj] land: soil your to/for Pharaoh behold to/for you seed and to sow [obj] [the] land: soil

24 Kuzakuthi-ke esivunweni limnike uFaro ingxenye yesihlanu, lengxenye ezine zibe ngezenu, kube yinhlanyelo yensimu lokudla kwenu lokwabasemizini yenu, lokudla kwabantwanyana benu.

and to be in/on/with produce and to give: give fifth to/for Pharaoh and four [the] hand: times to be to/for you to/for seed [the] land: country and to/for food your and to/for which in/on/with house: household your and to/for to eat to/for child your

25 Basebesithi: Usindise impilo yethu; asithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami, njalo sizakuba yizigqili zikaFaro.

and to say to live us to find favor in/on/with eye: appearance lord my and to be servant/slave to/for Pharaoh

26 UJosefa wasekumisa kwaba ngumthetho kuze kube lamuhla, phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe, ukuthi ingxenye yesihlanu izakuba ngekaFaro; ngaphandle kwelizwe labapristi lodwa elingeyisilo likaFaro.

and to set: make [obj] her Joseph to/for statute: decree till [the] day: today [the] this upon land: soil Egypt to/for Pharaoh to/for fifth except land: soil [the] priest to/for alone them not to be to/for Pharaoh

27 UIsrayeli wasehlala elizweni leGibhithe, elizweni leGosheni; bazizuzela imfuyo kulo, bazala, banda kakhulu.

and to dwell Israel in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt in/on/with land: country/planet Goshen and to grasp in/on/with her and be fruitful and to multiply much

28 UJakobe wasephila elizweni leGibhithe iminyaka elitshumi lesikhombisa; ngakho insuku zikaJakobe, iminyaka yempilo yakhe, yayiyiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane lesikhombisa.

and to live Jacob in/on/with land: country/planet Egypt seven ten year and to be day Jacob year life his seven year and forty and hundred year

29 Kwathi sekusondele insuku zikaIsrayeli ukuthi afe, wabiza indodana yakhe uJosefa, wathi kuye: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, ake ubeke isandla sakho ngaphansi kwethangazi lami, ungenzele umusa leqiniso; ngicela ungangingcwabi eGibhithe;

and to present: come day Israel to/for to die and to call: call to to/for son: child his to/for Joseph and to say to/for him if: surely yes please to find favor in/on/with eye: seeing your to set: put please hand: swear your underneath: swear thigh my and to make: do with me me kindness and truth: faithful not please to bury me in/on/with Egypt

30 kodwa akuthi ngilale labobaba, ngakho uzangithwala ungisuse eGibhithe, ungingcwabe engcwabeni labo. Wasesithi: Mina ngizakwenza njengokwelizwi lakho.

and to lie down: lay down with father my and to lift: bear me from Egypt and to bury me in/on/with tomb their and to say I to make: do like/as word your

31 Wasesithi: Funga kimi. Wasefunga kuye. UIsrayeli wasekhothamela phezu kwesihloko sombheda.

and to say to swear [emph?] to/for me and to swear to/for him and to bow Israel upon head [the] bed
