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.
So then Joseph went in, and told Pharaoh, and said—My father and my brethren, and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, are come in from the land of Canaan, —and, here they are, in the land of Goshen.
2 Innis obboloota isaa keessaa nama shan filatee Faraʼoonitti dhiʼeesse.
Moreover out of the whole number of his brethren, he took with him five men, —and set them before Pharaoh.
3 Faraʼoonis, “Hojiin keessan maali?” jedhee obboloota Yoosef gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu garboonni kee akkuma abbootii keenyaa tiksoota” jedhanii deebisaniif.
And Pharaoh said unto the brethren of Joseph—What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh—Feeders of flocks, are thy servants, 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.”
And they said unto Pharaoh—To sojourn in the land, are we come in, for there is no pasture for the flocks which pertain to thy servants, for, severe, is the famine in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, let thy servants dwell we pray thee in the land of Goshen.
5 Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Abbaan keetii fi obboloonni kee siif dhufaniiru;
Then spake Pharaoh unto Joseph saying, —Thy father and thy brethren, are come in unto thee.
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 thee, in the best of the land, cause thou thy father and thy brethren to dwell, —let them dwell in the land of Goshen, And if thou knowest that there are among them men of ability, then shalt thou set them as chieftains of cattle over mine.
7 Ergasii Yoosef abbaa isaa Yaaqoobin fidee fuula Faraʼoon duratti dhiʼeesse. Erga Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee booddee,
So Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and caused him to stand before Pharaoh, —and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Faraʼoon, “Umuriin kee hammam?” jedhee isa gaafate.
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: About how many, have been the days of the years of thy life?
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.”
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojournings, have been a hundred and thirty years, —Few and evil, have been the days of the years of my life, neither have they attained unto the days of the years of the lives of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.
10 Kana booddee, Yaaqoob Faraʼoonin eebbisee fuula isaa duraa gad baʼe.
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, —and came forth 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.
So then Joseph fixed the dwelling of his father and his brethren, 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.
And Joseph nourished his father and his brethren, and all his father’s house, —with bread, according to the need of their little ones.
13 Waan beelli akka malee cimeef biyyattii guutuu keessa wanni nyaatamu hin jiru ture; sababii beela sanaatiinis Gibxii fi Kanaʼaan akka malee miidhaman.
But, bread, was there none 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.
So Joseph gathered up all the silver that was found in the land of Egypt. and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which, they, were buying, —and Joseph brought the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
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.
And the silver was spent out of the land of Egypt and out of the land of Canaan, so all the Egyptians came in unto Joseph, saying—Do give us bread, for why should we die before thee, although, silver, hath failed?
16 Yoosef immoo, “Erga maallaqni keessan dhumee horii keessan fidaa; qooda horii keessanii ani midhaan isiniif nan kenna” jedhe.
Then said Joseph: Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, —if silver hath failed.
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.
So they brought in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses and for the cattle of the flock and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses, —and he provided them with bread for all their cattle, throughout 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, then came they unto him in the second year and said to him—We will not hide from my lord, how that the silver and the herds of beasts for my lord are come to an end, —there is nothing left before my lord, save only our bodies and our ground:
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.”
Wherefore should we die before thine eyes both we, and our ground? Buy thou us and our ground, for bread, —and we and our ground will become servants to Pharaoh, and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and the ground, not lie waste.
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 ground of the Egyptians for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine had laid fast hold upon them, —so the land became Pharaoh’s.
21 Yoosefis daangaa biyya Gibxi tokko irraa hamma daangaa kaaniitti saba garbummaa jala galche.
And as for the people, he brought them into bondage as servants, —from one end of the boundary of Egypt unto the other end thereof.
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, the ground of the priests, bought he not, —for the priests had a statutory-portion, from Pharaoh and they had been eating their statutory-portion, which Pharaoh had given them, for which cause, they had not sold their ground.
23 Yoosefis saba sanaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani harʼa isinii fi lafa keessan Faraʼooniif biteera. Kunoo lafatti sanyii facaafadhaa.
And Joseph said unto the people, Lo! I have bought you this day, and your ground for Pharaoh, —see, here is seed for you, so shall ye sow the ground;
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.”
and it shall come to pass that, of the yield, ye shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, —but the four parts, shall be your own—for seed for the field, and for your food and for them who are in 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.
And they said—Thou hast saved our lives! let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, so will we become 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.
And Joseph appointed it for a statute—until this day, regarding the ground of Egypt, that Pharaoh, should take a fifth, —only, the ground of the priests, was, theirs alone, it had not become Pharaoh’s.
27 Israaʼeloonnis Gibxi keessa kutaa biyya Gooshen keessa qubatan. Achittis qabeenya argatan; horaniis guddaa baayʼatan.
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt in the land of Goshen, —and gained possessions therein, and became fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
28 Yaaqoob waggaa kudha torba biyya Gibxi keessa jiraate; barri jireenya isaas waggaa dhibba tokkoo afurtamii torba ture.
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, —so it came to pass that the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and 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;
And the days of Israel drew near that he must die, so he called for his son for Joseph and said to him—If, I pray thee I have found favour in thine eyes, place, I pray thee thy hand under my thigh, —so shalt thou deal with me in lovingkindness and faithfulness—Do not I pray thee, 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.
When I shall lie down with my fathers, then shalt thou carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said: I, will do according to thy word.
31 Israaʼelis, “Naa kakadhu” jedheen. Yoosefis ni kakateef. Israaʼel immoo mataa ulee isaatti irkatee sagade.
Then he said: Come, swear to me! And he sware to him. Then did Israel bow himself down on the head of the couch.
