Mwanzo 47
1 Yosefu akaenda na kumwambia Farao, “Baba yangu na ndugu zangu wamekuja kutoka nchi ya Kanaani wakiwa na makundi yao ya kondoo, mbuzi na ngʼombe, pamoja na kila kitu walicho nacho, nao sasa wapo huko Gosheni.”
and to come (in): come Joseph and to tell to/for Pharaoh and to say father my and brother: male-sibling my and flock their and cattle their and all which to/for them to come (in): come from land: country/planet Canaan and look! they in/on/with land: country/planet Goshen
2 Akachagua ndugu zake watano na kuwaonyesha kwa Farao.
and from end brother: male-sibling his to take: take five human and to set them to/for face: before Pharaoh
3 Farao akawauliza hao ndugu zake, “Kazi yenu ni nini?” Wakamjibu, “Watumishi wako ni wachunga mifugo, kama vile baba zetu walivyokuwa.”
and to say Pharaoh to(wards) brother: male-sibling his what? deed: work your and to say to(wards) Pharaoh to pasture flock servant/slave your also we also father our
4 Pia wakamwambia Farao, “Tumekuja kukaa huku kwa muda mfupi, kwa sababu njaa ni kali huko Kanaani, na mifugo ya watumishi wako haina malisho. Kwa hiyo sasa, tafadhali uruhusu watumishi wako wakae huko Gosheni.”
and to say to(wards) Pharaoh to/for to sojourn in/on/with land: country/planet to come (in): come for nothing pasture to/for flock which to/for servant/slave your for heavy [the] famine in/on/with land: country/planet Canaan and now to dwell please servant/slave your in/on/with land: country/planet Goshen
5 Farao akamwambia Yosefu, “Baba yako na ndugu zako wamekuja kwako,
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 nayo nchi ya Misri ipo mbele yako, uwakalishe baba yako na ndugu zako katika sehemu iliyo bora kupita zote katika nchi. Na waishi Gosheni. Kama unamfahamu yeyote miongoni mwao mwenye uwezo maalum, waweke wawe wasimamizi wa mifugo yangu.”
land: country/planet Egypt to/for face: before your he/she/it in/on/with best [the] land: country/planet to dwell [obj] father your and [obj] brother: male-sibling your to dwell in/on/with land: country/planet Goshen and if to know and there in/on/with them human strength and to set: put them ruler livestock upon which to/for me
7 Ndipo Yosefu akamleta Yakobo baba yake na kumtambulisha mbele ya Farao. Baada ya Yakobo kumbariki Farao,
and to come (in): bring Joseph [obj] Jacob father his and to stand: stand him to/for face: before Pharaoh and to bless Jacob [obj] Pharaoh
8 Farao akamuuliza, “Je una umri gani?”
and to say Pharaoh to(wards) Jacob like/as what? day year life your
9 Naye Yakobo akamwambia Farao, “Siku za miaka ya kusafiri kwangu ni miaka 130. Miaka yangu imekuwa michache na ya taabu, wala haikufikia miaka ya kusafiri ya baba zangu.”
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 Kisha Yakobo akambariki Farao, naye akaondoka mbele ya uso wake.
and to bless Jacob [obj] Pharaoh and to come out: come from to/for face: before Pharaoh
11 Ndipo Yosefu akawakalisha baba yake na ndugu zake katika nchi ya Misri na kuwapa milki katika sehemu bora sana ya nchi, wilaya ya Ramesesi, kama Farao alivyoelekeza.
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 Pia Yosefu akampa baba yake, na ndugu zake na wote wa nyumbani mwa baba yake vyakula, kwa kulingana na hesabu ya watoto wao.
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 Hata hivyo, hapakuwepo chakula katika sehemu yote kwa kuwa njaa ilikuwa kali sana; Misri na Kanaani zote zikaharibiwa kwa sababu ya njaa.
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 Yosefu akakusanya fedha zote zilizopatikana kutoka mauzo ya nafaka huko Misri na Kanaani, akazileta kwenye jumba la kifalme la Farao.
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 Fedha za watu wa Misri na Kanaani zilipokwisha, Wamisri wote wakamjia Yosefu na kumwambia, “Tupatie chakula. Kwa nini tufe mbele ya macho yako? Fedha zetu zimekwisha.”
and to finish [the] silver: money from land: country/planet Egypt and from land: country/planet Canaan and to come (in): come all Egyptian to(wards) Joseph to/for to say to give [emph?] to/for us food and to/for what? to die before you for to end silver: money
16 Yosefu akawaambia, “Basi leteni mifugo yenu, nitawauzia chakula kwa kubadilisha na mifugo yenu, kwa kuwa fedha zenu zimekwisha.”
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 Kwa hiyo wakaleta mifugo yao kwa Yosefu, naye akawapa chakula kwa kubadilishana na farasi zao, kondoo na mbuzi zao, ngʼombe na punda zao. Katika mwaka huo wote Yosefu akawapa chakula kwa kubadilishana na mifugo yao yote.
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 Mwaka ule ulipokwisha, wakamjia mwaka uliofuata na kumwambia, “Hatuwezi kuficha ukweli mbele za bwana wetu kwamba, kwa kuwa fedha zetu zimekwisha na wanyama wetu ni mali yako, sasa hakuna chochote kilichosalia kwa ajili ya bwana wetu isipokuwa miili yetu na ardhi yetu.
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 Kwa nini tuangamie mbele ya macho yako, sisi pamoja na nchi yetu? Utununue sisi pamoja na ardhi yetu ili kubadilishana kwa chakula. Nasi pamoja na nchi yetu tutakuwa watumwa wa Farao. Tupe sisi mbegu ili tuweze kuishi wala tusife, nchi yetu isije ikawa ukiwa.”
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 Kwa hiyo Yosefu akamnunulia Farao nchi yote ya Misri. Wamisri, mmoja baada ya mwingine, waliuza mashamba yao, kwa sababu njaa ilikuwa kali sana kwao. Nchi ikawa mali ya Farao,
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 naye Yosefu akawafanya watu watumike kama watumwa, kuanzia upande mmoja wa Misri hadi upande mwingine.
and [obj] [the] people to pass: bring [obj] him to/for city from end border: area Egypt and till end his
22 Hata hivyo, hakununua nchi ya makuhani, kwa sababu walikuwa wanapata mgawo wao wa kawaida kutoka kwa Farao, nao walikuwa na chakula cha kuwatosha kutokana na mgawo waliopewa na Farao. Hii ndiyo sababu hawakuuza ardhi yao.
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 Yosefu akawaambia watu, “Kwa vile nimewanunua ninyi pamoja na nchi yenu leo kuwa mali ya Farao, hapa kuna mbegu kwa ajili yenu ili mweze kuziotesha.
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 Lakini wakati mazao yatakapokuwa tayari, mpeni Farao sehemu ya tano. Sehemu hizo nne zitakazobaki mtaziweka kama mbegu kwa ajili ya mashamba na kwa ajili ya chakula chenu wenyewe na cha watu wa nyumbani mwenu na watoto wenu.”
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 Wakamwambia, “Umeokoa maisha yetu. Basi na tupate kibali mbele ya macho ya bwana wetu; tutakuwa watumwa wa Farao.”
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 Basi Yosefu akaiweka iwe sheria kuhusu nchi ya Misri, ambayo inatumika mpaka leo, kwamba, sehemu ya tano ya mazao ni mali ya Farao. Ni nchi ya makuhani tu ambayo haikuwa ya Farao.
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 Basi Waisraeli wakaishi Misri katika nchi ya Gosheni. Wakapata mali huko wakastawi na kuongezeka kwa wingi sana.
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 Yakobo akaishi Misri miaka kumi na saba, nayo miaka ya maisha yake ilikuwa 147.
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 Wakati ulipokaribia wa Israeli kufa, akamwita mwanawe Yosefu na kumwambia, “Kama nimepata kibali machoni pake, weka mkono wako chini ya paja langu na uniahidi kuwa utanifanyia fadhili na uaminifu. Usinizike Misri,
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 lakini nitakapopumzika na baba zangu, unichukue kutoka Misri, ukanizike walipozikwa.” Yosefu akamwambia, “Nitafanya kama unavyosema.”
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 Akamwambia, “Niapie.” Ndipo Yosefu akamwapia, naye Israeli akaabudu, akiwa ameegemea juu ya kichwa cha fimbo yake.
and to say to swear [emph?] to/for me and to swear to/for him and to bow Israel upon head [the] bed
