Bilowgii 47
1 Markaasaa Yuusuf gudaha galay oo uu Fircoon u warramay, wuxuuna ku yidhi, Aabbahay iyo walaalahay, iyo adhigoodii, iyo lo'doodii, iyo waxay haystaan oo dhammu way ka yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo bal eeg, haatan waxay joogaan dalka Goshen.
Joseph went to report to Pharaoh and told him, “My father and brothers, along with their flocks and herds and all their possessions, have arrived from the land of Canaan and now they're here in Goshen.”
2 Oo walaalihiisna wuxuu ka kaxeeyey shan nin, oo wuxuu hor taagay Fircoon.
Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
3 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf walaalihiis ku yidhi, Shuqulkiinnu waa maxay? Markaasay waxay Fircoon ku yidhaahdeen, Annagoo addoommadaada ah waxaannu nahay adhijirro, annaga iyo awowayaashayoba.
Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
4 Oo waxay Fircoon ku yidhaahdeen, Inaannu qariib ahaan dhulka u joogno ayaannu u nimid, waayo, adhiga addoommadaadu daaq ma haysto, maxaa yeelay, abaartu aad bay ugu xun tahay dalkii Kancaan; haddaba waxaannu kaa baryaynaa inaannu annagoo addoommadaada ah degno dalka Goshen.
“We have come to live in Egypt because there's no grass left in Canaan for our flocks to eat,” they explained. “The famine is really bad in Canaan. So we would like to please ask permission to live in Goshen.”
5 Markaasaa Fircoon la hadlay Yuusuf, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Aabbahaa iyo walaalahaa aday kuu yimaadeen.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
6 Dalka Masarna wuu ku hor yaal; haddaba dalka meesha ugu wanaagsan aabbahaa iyo walaalahaa deji, oo dalka Goshen ha degeen. Oo haddaad ku garanaysid rag karti leh, de ka dhig kuwo xoolahayga u taliya.
you can choose wherever you like in Egypt, the best place, for them to live. Let them live in Goshen. If you know any of them who are good at what they do, put them in charge of my livestock as well.”
7 Markaasaa Yuusuf aabbihiis Yacquub gudaha soo geliyey, oo wuxuu soo hor taagay Fircoon; Yacquubna Fircoon wuu u duceeyey.
Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
8 Fircoonna wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Immisa jir baad tahay?
Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
9 Markaasaa Yacquub wuxuu Fircoon ku yidhi, Sannadihii aan qariibka ahaa waa boqol iyo soddon; cimrigaygu waa yaraa, wuuna xumaa, mana gaadhin cimrigii awowayaashay qariibka ahaayeen.
“I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
10 Yacquubna Fircoon wuu u duceeyey, markaasuu Fircoon hortiisa ka tegey.
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
11 Markaasuu Yuusuf aabbihiis iyo walaalihiis dejiyey dalkii Masar oo uu ka siiyey meel hanti ah, taasoo ah meeshii dalka ugu wanaagsanayd oo ku tiil dalka la yidhaahdo Racmeses, sidii Fircoon ku amray.
So Joseph arranged for his father and brothers to live in Egypt and gave them land in the best part near Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
12 Yuusufna aabbihiis iyo walaalihiis, iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhan, sidii ay carruurtoodii tiradoodii ahayd, ayuu u quudiyey.
He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
13 Dalkii oo dhanna cunto ma jirin; waayo, abaartu aad bay u xumayd, sidaas daraaddeed dalkii Masar iyo dalkii Kancaan abaartay la taag darnaadeen.
No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
14 Yuusufna wuxuu ururiyey lacagtii dalka Masar tiil oo dhan, iyo tii dalka Kancaan tiil oo dhan, waayo, hadhuudh bay kaga iibsadeen; Yuusufna lacagtii wuxuu keenay gurigii Fircoon.
By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
15 Oo markii lacagtii ka wada dhammaatay dalkii Masar iyo dalkii Kancaanba ayay Masriyiintii oo dhammu u yimaadeen Yuusuf, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Cunto na sii, waayo, maxaannu hortaada ugu dhimanaynaa? Maxaa yeelay, lacagtayadii way naga dhammaatay.
Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
16 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddii lacagtii idinka dhammaatay, xoolihiinna keena, oo anna xoolihiinna ayaan cunto idinka siin doonaa.
“Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
17 Markaasay xoolahoodii Yuusuf u keeneen, Yuusufna wuxuu iyagii cunto ugu beddelay fardihii, iyo adhigii, iyo lo'dii iyo dameerradii; oo sannaddaas ayuu quudiyey oo xoolahoodii oo dhan cunto ugu beddelay.
So they brought Joseph their livestock, and he provided them with grain in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. He gave them grain in return for their livestock during that year.
18 Oo markii sannaddaasi dhammaatay ayay sannaddii labaad u yimaadeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Sayidkaygiiyow, kaa qarin mayno in lacagtayadii oo dhammu naga idlaatay, ishkinkii lo'da ahaana adigaa leh, sayidkaygiiyow, waxba kuma hadhin hortaada, sayidkaygiiyow, jidhkayaga iyo dhulalkayaga mooyaane.
But when that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, “My lord, we can't hide from you the fact that our money is gone and that you now own our livestock. All we have left to give you are our bodies and our land.
19 De haddaba maxaannu hortaada ugu dhimanaynaa annaga iyo dhulkayaguba? Annaga iyo dhulkayagaba cunto nagu iibso, oo annaga iyo dhulkayaguba Fircoon baannu addoommo u noqon doonnaa. Abuur la beero na sii inaannu noolaanno, oo aannan dhiman, dhulkayaguna uusan baabbi'in.
Do you want us to die right in front of you? So buy us and our land in return for food. Then our land will belong to Pharaoh, and we'll be his slaves. Just give us grain so we can live and won't die, and so the land won't be abandoned.”
20 Yuusufna dhulkii Masar oo dhan Fircoon buu u iibiyey, waayo, Masriyiintii nin waluba wuxuu iibiyey beertiisii, maxaa yeelay, abaartaa ku xumayd iyaga; dhulkiina waxaa yeeshay Fircoon.
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Each and every Egyptian sold their fields, because the famine was hurting them so badly. The land ended up being owned by Pharaoh,
21 Dadkiina wuxuu u wareejiyey magaalooyinka dhulka Masar darafkiisa ilaa darafka kale.
and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
22 Wuxuusan iibsan dhulkii wadaaddada oo keliya, waayo, wadaaddadu qayb bay ku lahaan jireen Fircoon, oo waxay cuni jireen qaybtii Fircoon siin jiray, oo sidaas daraaddeed ma ay iibsan dhulkoodii.
The only land he didn't buy belonged to the priests because they had a food allowance provided to them by Pharaoh, so they didn't have to sell their land.
23 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Bal eega, maantaan Fircoon idiin iibiyey idinka iyo dhulkiinnaba; haddaba abuurkan qaata oo dhulka ku beera.
Then Joseph told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the fields.
24 Markii aad wax soo goosataan, waxaad Fircoon siisaan shan meelood meel, afarta kalena waxay idiin ahaan doonaan abuur aad beerta ku abuurtaan iyo cuntadiinna iyo cuntadii reerihiinna iyo cuntadii dhallaankiinnaba.
However, when it's harvested, you have to give one fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you can keep as seed for the fields and as food for you, your households, and your children.”
25 Markaasay iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Adigu noloshayada waad badbaadisay, haddaba, sayidkayagiiyow, naga raalli ahow, oo annana waxaannu Fircoon u noqon doonnaa addoommo.
“You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
26 Yuusufna wuxuu sameeyey qaynuun ku saabsan dhulka Masar in ilaa maantadan la joogo Fircoon lahaado shantii meeloodba meel, Fircoonna wuxuusan yeelan dhulkii wadaaddada oo keliya.
So Joseph made it a law for Egypt which is still is in effect today that one fifth of all produce from the land belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests' land was exempt since it did not belong to Pharaoh.
27 Reer binu Israa'iilna waxay degeen dalka Masar, xagga dhulka Goshen; oo halkaas bay maal ka heleen, wayna bateen, oo aad iyo aad bay u tarmeen.
The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
28 Yacquubna wuxuu dalka Masar ku noolaa toddoba iyo toban sannadood, oo Yacquub cimrigiisu wuxuu ahaa boqol iyo toddoba iyo afartan sannadood.
Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
29 Wakhtigii Israa'iil dhiman lahaana waa soo dhowaaday, markaasuu wiilkiisii Yuusuf u yeedhay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba haddii aad raalli iga tahay, waan ku baryayaaye, gacantaada bowdadayda hoos geli, oo si raxmad leh oo daacad ah igu la dhaqan. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, Masar ha igu aasin,
When the time came for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If you think well of me, place your hand under my thigh and promise to treat me with trustworthy love and faithfulness. Don't bury me here in Egypt.
30 laakiinse meydkaygu ha la jiifo awowayaashay; waa inaad Masar iga qaaddaa oo aad igu aastaa meeshii lagu aasay awowayaashay. Markaasuu isna yidhi, Waan yeeli doonaa sidaad igu tidhi.
When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
31 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ii dhaaro, isna wuu u dhaartay. Markaasaa Israa'iil sariirta madaxeedii ku foororsaday.
“Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
