Uumama 47
1 Yoosefis gara Faraʼoon dhaqee, “Abbaan kootii fi obboloonni koo bushaayee isaanii, loon isaaniitii fi waan qaban hunda fudhatanii biyya Kanaʼaan dhufanii kunoo biyya Gooshen jiru” jedhee itti hime.
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 Innis obboloota isaa keessaa nama shan filatee Faraʼoonitti dhiʼeesse.
From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
3 Faraʼoonis, “Hojiin keessan maali?” jedhee obboloota Yoosef gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu garboonni kee akkuma abbootii keenyaa tiksoota” jedhanii deebisaniif.
Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”
4 Akkanas jedhaniin; “Sababii beelli biyya Kanaʼaanitti cimee bushaayeen garboota keetii waan dheedan dhabaniif nu yeroo gabaabaa as jiraachuu dhufne. Akka nu garboonni kee biyya Gooshen keessa jiraannuuf maaloo nuu eeyyami.”
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 Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Abbaan keetii fi obboloonni kee siif dhufaniiru;
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6 lafti Gibxi fuuluma kee dura jira; abbaa keetii fi obboloota kee iddoo lafa hundumaa caalu irra qubachiisi. Isaan biyya Gooshen keessa haa jiraatan. Ati yoo namoota isaan keessaa dandeettii qaban beekte loon koo irratti itti gaafatamtoota isaan godhi.”
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 Ergasii Yoosef abbaa isaa Yaaqoobin fidee fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼeesse. Erga Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee booddee,
Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Faraʼoon, “Umuriin kee hammam?” jedhee isa gaafate.
Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
9 Yaaqoobis Faraʼooniin akkana jedhe; “Barri ani keessummummaan jiraadhe waggaa dhibbaa tokkoo fi soddoma. Baroonni koos muraasa; hamaadhas; innis bara abbootiin koo keessummummaan jiraatan sanaan wal qixxee miti.”
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 Kana booddee, Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee fuula isaa duraa gad baʼe.
Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
11 Yoosefis akkuma Faraʼoon isa ajajetti abbaa isaatii fi obboloota isaa Gibxi keessa qubachiise; lafa lafa hunda caalu, aanaa Raamsee handhuuraa godhee isaanii kenne.
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 Akkasumas Yoosef abbaa isaatiif, obboloota isaatii fi warra mana abbaa isaa jiran hundaaf akkuma baayʼina ijoollee isaaniitti midhaan kenne.
Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household with bread, according to the sizes of their families.
13 Waan beelli akka malee cimeef biyyattii guutuu keessa wanni nyaatamu hin jiru ture; sababii beela sanaatiinis Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan akka malee miidhaman.
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 Yoosefis kaffaltii midhaan namoonni bitachaa turan sanaa maallaqa biyya Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan keessatti argamu hunda walitti qabee masaraa Faraʼoonitti galche.
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 Maallaqni warra Gibxii fi warra Kanaʼaan dhumnaan warri Gibxi hundi gara Yoosef dhufanii, “Midhaan nuu kenni. Nu maaliif fuula kee duratti duuna? Maallaqni keenya dhumeera” jedhan.
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 Yoosef immoo, “Erga maallaqni keessan dhumee horii keessan fidaa; qooda horii keessanii ani midhaan isiniif nan kenna” jedhe.
Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
17 Isaanis horii isaanii Yoosefitti fidan; Yoosefis qooda fardeen isaanii, qooda bushaayee isaanii, qooda loowwan isaaniitii fi qooda harroota isaanii midhaan kenneef. Innis bara sana geeddaraa horii isaanii hundaa midhaan isaan soore.
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 Waggaan sun dhumnaan jarri waggaa itti aanutti gara isaa dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Erga maallaqni keenya dhumee horiin keenya kan kee taʼee as, yaa gooftaa keenya akka dhagna keenyaa fi lafa keenya malee wanni tokko iyyuu nuuf hin hafin nu gooftaa keenya jalaa hin dhoksinu.
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 Nu maaliif fuula kee duratti duuna? Nuu fi lafti keenyas maaliif badna? Nuu fi lafa keenya fudhadhuutii qooda isaa midhaan nuuf kenni. Nu lafa keenya wajjin Faraʼooniif ni garboomna. Akka nu duʼa jalaa baanee jiraannuuf, akka laftis duwwaa hin hafneef sanyii nuuf kenni.”
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 will not be desolate.”
20 Yoosefis lafa biyya Gibxi hundumaa Faraʼooniif bite. Warri Gibxi hundi waan beelli isaanitti cimeef lafa isaanii gurguran; laftis kan Faraʼoon taʼe;
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 Yoosefis daangaa biyya Gibxi tokko irraa hamma daangaa kaaniitti saba garbummaa jala galche.
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 Lafti inni hin bitin lafa lubootaa qofa ture; kunis sababii isaan Faraʼoon irraa qooda argatanii fi sababii qooda Faraʼoon isaaniif kennu sanaan jiraataniif. Kanaafuu isaan lafa isaanii hin gurgurre.
Only he did not 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 did not sell their land.
23 Yoosefis saba sanaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani harʼa isinii fi lafa keessan Faraʼooniif biteera. Kunoo lafatti sanyii facaafadhaa.
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 Yommuu midhaan galfamutti harka shan keessaa harka tokko Faraʼooniif ni kennitu. Harka afran hafe immoo sanyii facaafattan, nyaata ofii keessanii, nyaata warra mana keessan jiraataniitii fi nyaata ijoollee keessanii godhattu.”
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 Jarris, “Ati duʼa nu oolchiteerta; nu fuula gooftaa keenyaa duratti fudhatama haa argannuu malee Faraʼooniif garboota ni taana” jedhan.
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 Yoosefis akkasiin akka harka shan keessaa harki tokko kan Faraʼoon taʼuuf Gibxi keessatti seera lafaa dhaabe; seerri sun hamma harʼaatti illee ittiin hojjetamaa jira. Lafa lubootaa qofattu utuu kan Faraʼoon hin taʼin hafe.
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 did not become Pharaoh’s.
27 Israaʼeloonnis Gibxi keessa kutaa biyya Gooshen keessa qubatan. Achittis qabeenya argatan; horaniis guddaa baayʼatan.
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 Yaaqoob waggaa kudha torba biyya Gibxi keessa jiraate; barri jireenya isaas waggaa dhibba tokkoo afurtamii torba ture.
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 Israaʼelis yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Yoosefin ofitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhe, mee harka kee gudeeda koo jala kaaʼiitii akka gaarummaa na argisiiftuu fi akka naaf amanamtu waadaa naaf seeni. Gibxitti na hin awwaalin;
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 do not bury me in Egypt,
30 yeroo ani abbootii koo wajjin boqodhutti biyya Gibxii na baasii iddoo isaan itti awwaalamanitti na awwaali.” Innis, “Akkuma ati jette nan godha” jedhe.
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 Israaʼelis, “Naa kakadhu” jedheen. Yoosefis ni kakateef. Israaʼel immoo mataa ulee isaatti irkatee sagade.
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
