Dud'uit Fefeu' a 47
1 Basa ma, Yusuf no toronoo nara lima reu risiꞌ maneꞌ a. Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Ama maneꞌ! Au ama ngga no odꞌi-aꞌa nggara rema mia Kanaꞌan ena. Ara rema rendi banda hiek-lombo, sapi, ma sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara. Basa se sia Gosen ena.”
Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers, their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have arrived from the land of Canaan. See, they are in the land of Goshen.”
He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.
3 Boe ma maneꞌ a natane nae, “Hei ue-tatao ma saa?” Rataa rae, “Hai manatadꞌa onaꞌ hai bei-baꞌi mara.
Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our ancestors.”
4 Aleꞌ ia, sia rae Kanaꞌan ndoe-laꞌas naseliꞌ de nda hambu nanaat ma uru sa ena. Naa de, hai ima sia nusaꞌ ia fo leo miꞌitataaꞌ. Hai o mendi banda mara boe. De hai mae moꞌe ama maneꞌ, fo leo sia Gosen, fo miꞌiboi banda ra sia naa.”
Then they said to Pharaoh, “We come as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks, because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”
5 Boe ma maneꞌ a nafadꞌe hihii-nanau na neu Yusuf nae, “Ia naa, ama ma no odꞌi-aꞌa mara sia ia ena.
Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
6 De ara bole tao nusaꞌ ia onaꞌ sira nusa na. Au uhine ngga, Gosen naa, mamana maloleꞌ sia nusaꞌ ia. De malole lenaꞌ ara leo siaꞌ a naa leo. Ma mete ma sira rahine tao-mataꞌ neu banda no maloleꞌ, naa, onaꞌ bee na ara tao-mataꞌ neu banda nggara sia naa boe.”
The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best region, the land of Goshen. If you know any capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock.”
7 Basa naa ma, Yusuf natudꞌu ama na neu maneꞌ a. De Yakob hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, noꞌe papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee maneꞌ a.
Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and presented him to Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a natane e nae, “Amaꞌ too hira ena?”
Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How long have you lived?”
9 Yakob nataa nae, “Au usodꞌa too natun esa telu nulu ena, te au nda leo sia mamanaꞌ esaꞌ a sa. Au bei-baꞌi nggara o onaꞌ naa boe. Te au too ngga memaꞌ eꞌekuꞌ lenaꞌ se. Ma sofeꞌ no doidꞌosoꞌ.”
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my travels are a hundred and thirty. The years of my life have been few and painful. They have not been as long as those of my ancestors.”
10 Basa de Yakob natea maneꞌ a. Ana nda feꞌe lao sa, te ana noꞌe Lamatualain fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu maneꞌ a fai.
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
11 Yusuf tungga maneꞌ a oꞌola na, de natudꞌu mamanaꞌ fee se sia Gosen. Mamanaꞌ naa maloleꞌ. (Dei de ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa ‘Rameses’.) Basa de Yusuf ama na no odi-aꞌa nara leo rakandoo sia naa.
Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them a territory in the land of Egypt, the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 Yusuf o banggi-bꞌae nanaat fee ama na, odi-aꞌa nara, ro basa sao-ana nara, tungga sira ume isi nara dedꞌesi nara.
Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father's household, according the number of their dependents.
13 Leleꞌ naa, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ, de sia bee-bꞌee nanaat nese. Mia Masir losa Kanaꞌan atahori ra masaloe ena. Ara nda tao rala saa-saa saꞌ boe, huu ndoe ritaꞌ a mamate nara.
Now there was no food in all the land; for the famine was severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away because of the famine.
14 Naa de, atahori mia basa mamanaꞌ sia Masir no Kanaꞌan, rema hasa nanaat sia Yusuf. Ana naduru doiꞌ ra, de neu mbedꞌa sia maneꞌ a ume na.
Joseph gathered all the money that was in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, by selling grain to the inhabitants. Then Joseph brought the money to Pharaoh's palace.
15 Dꞌoo-dꞌoo ma, atahori Masir ro Kanaꞌan ra doi nara basa se ena. De ara nda hasa rala nanaat sa ena. Ara risiꞌ Yusuf, ma roꞌe rae, “Ama fetor e! Fee hai nanaat dei, fo hai afiꞌ mate ndoes. Te basa hai doi mara ena.”
When all the money of the lands of Egypt and Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph saying, “Give us food! Why should we die in your presence because our money is gone?”
16 Yusuf nataa nae, “Mete ma memaꞌ hei doiꞌ nese ena, naa, taꞌo ia: fee banda mara fo nggati no nanaat.”
Joseph said, “If your money is gone, bring your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”
17 De ara fee banda nara reu Yusuf, fo nggati no nanaat. Ara fee ndara, hiek-lombo, sapi no keledei nara. No taꞌo naa, ara rasodꞌa tooꞌ naa, huu Yusuf tao taꞌo naa.
So they brought their livestock to Joseph. Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, for the flocks, for the herds, and for the donkeys. He fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year.
18 Manafali ma, ara rema risiꞌ Yusuf rae, “Ama fetor e! Hai olaꞌ no matetuꞌ. Hai doi ma no banda mara, amaꞌ nggati mala basa se ena. Nda afiꞌ hela saa saꞌ boe. Helaꞌ a hai ao ma no rae ma.
When that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my master that our money is all gone, and the herds of cattle are my master's. There is nothing left in the sight of my master, except our bodies and our land.
19 Dadꞌi afiꞌ hela hai mate. Mete ma hai mate, seka mana tao mataꞌ neu rae ra? Malole lenaꞌ, ama fetor haꞌi mala hai dadꞌi ate. Haꞌi mala hai rae ma dadꞌi amaꞌ ena na boe. Ma fee fini-ngges fo hai sela fee amaꞌ. Hai bebengge ma, no rae a, amaꞌ nggati no nanaat. Sadꞌi hai afiꞌ mate!”
Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
20 Huu ndoe-laꞌas boe fua, naa de basa atahori Masir ra seo hendiꞌ rae nara. De Yusuf hasa nala basa rae sia Masir, dadꞌi maneꞌ a enan.
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. For every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was very severe. In this way, the land became Pharaoh's.
21 Naa de, basa rauinggu Masir ra dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate na.
As for the people, he made them slaves from one end of Egypt's border to the other end.
22 Te mia basa e, Yusuf nda hasa malangga agama ra rae na sa, huu maneꞌ a fee se nanaat nakandooꞌ a. Naa de, ara nda parlu seo rae nara sa.
It was only the land of the priests that Joseph did not buy, because the priests were given an allowance. They ate from the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land.
23 Leleꞌ naa, Yusuf olaꞌ no manggaraun nara nae, “Ia naa hei dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate na. Basa hei rae ma, au hasa ala fee maneꞌ a ena. De mala fini-ngges ia ra, fo mii sela neu rae ra leo.
Then Joseph said to the people, “See, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you will plant the land.
24 Dei fo oru naa, banggi neu lima. Babanggiꞌ esa mendi fee neu maneꞌ a. Hela babanggiꞌ haa, hei tao neu fini, ma mo ume isi mara mia.”
At the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field and for food for your households and your children.”
25 Ara rataa rae, “Amaꞌ fee masodꞌaꞌ nema hai. Huu naa, hai moꞌe makasi. Hai mae dadꞌi maneꞌ a ate nara.”
They said, “You have saved our lives. May we find favor in your eyes. We will be Pharaoh's servants.”
26 Yusuf tao hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa dadꞌi adat sia Masir. Mia basa are fo manggaraun ra oru, ara banggi neu lima. Babanggiꞌ esa fee neu maneꞌ a. Ma babanggiꞌ haa, ara soa. Akaꞌ a malangga agama ra rae nara, maneꞌ a nda hasa sa. Adat naa, feꞌe sia losa faiꞌ ia.
So Joseph made it a statute which is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day, that one-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.
27 Eniꞌ a leleꞌ naa, atahori Israꞌel ra leo rakandoo sia Masir, sia rae Gosen. Ara ramasuꞌi, ma tititi-nonosi nara boe ramaheta.
So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. His people gained possessions there. They were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
28 Yakob feꞌe nasodꞌa too sanahulu hitu fai sia Masir. De ana too natun esa haa nulu hitu.
Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so the years of Jacob's life were one hundred forty-seven years.
29 Fai mamate na deka-deka boe, ana noꞌe Yusuf de nafadꞌe nae, “Ana Usu e! Au duꞌa-duꞌa na nda doo sa ena, Lamatualain noꞌe baliꞌ au. Dadꞌi au oꞌe, mete ma sue au, naa, teꞌa fo afiꞌ muꞌoi au sia rae Masir ia.
When the time approached for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh, and show me faithfulness and trustworthiness. Please do not bury me in Egypt.
30 Musi mendi baliꞌ au ao sisi ngga, nisiꞌ bei-baꞌi tara mamana na. Muꞌoi au sia naa, huu naa, au hiihii ngga.” Yusuf nataa nae, “Malole, amaꞌ! Mete ma amaꞌ nau taꞌo naa, naa, au tunggaꞌ a.”
When I sleep with my fathers, you will carry me out of Egypt and bury me in my forefathers' burial place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
31 Yakob olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Te, mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, oras ia ho teꞌa dei, mae ho tungga amaꞌ hihiin.” De Yusuf teꞌa tungga Yakob oꞌola na. Basa naa ma, Yakob sendeꞌ lululangga na neu koi ata de hule-oꞌe noꞌe makasi neu Lamatualain.
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and Joseph swore to him. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his bed.
