And Ioseph wet and tolde Pharao and sayde: my father and my brethern their shepe and their beastes and all that they haue are come out of the lade of Canaan and are in the lande of Gosan.

2 Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi tokoua, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nima, ʻo ne fakahā ʻakinautolu kia Felo.

And Ioseph toke a parte of his brethern: euen fyue of them and presented them vnto Pharao.

3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Ko e hā hoʻomou faiva?” Pea nau talaange kia Felo, “Ko e tauhi sipi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai foki.”

And Pharao sayde vnto his brethern: what is youre occupation? And they sayde vnto Pharao: feaders of shepe are thi seruauntes both we ad also oure fathers.

4 Pea naʻa nau pehē foki kia Felo, “Kuo mau haʻu ke mau ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ha meʻakai ki heʻemau fanga manu; he kuo lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ko ia ʻoku mau kole ai tuku ke nofo ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.”

They sayde moreouer vnto Pharao: for to sogcorne in the lande are we come for thy seruauntes haue no pasture for their shepe so sore is the fameshment in the lande of Canaan. Now therfore let thy seruauntes dwell in the lande of Gosan.

5 Pea lea ʻa Felo kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu kiate koe ʻa hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi kāinga:

And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: thy father and thy brethren are come vnto the.

6 ‌ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite; ʻi he potu lelei ʻoe fonua, ke ke tuku ke nofo ai hoʻo tamai mo ho ngaahi tokoua: tuku ke nau nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni: pea kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ha kau tangata poto ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke fakanofo ʻakinautolu ke nau puleʻi ʻeku fanga manu.”

The londe of Egipte is open before the: In the best place of the lande make both thy father and thy brothren dwell: And even in the lond of Gosan let them dwell. Moreouer yf thou knowe any men of actiuyte amonge them make them ruelars ouer my catell.

7 Pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai ko Sēkope, ʻo tuku ia ki he ʻao ʻo Felo; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo.

And Ioseph brought in Iacob his father and sett him before Pharao And Iacob blessed Pharao.

8 Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Felo, kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fiha ho taʻu?”

And Pharao axed Iacob how old art thou?

9 Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Felo, “Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe taʻu ʻo hoku fononga, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu: kuo siʻi mo kovi pe ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻeku moʻui, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai aʻu ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ʻoe moʻui ʻa ʻeku ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo honau fononga.”

And Iacob sayde vnto Pharao: the dayes of my pilgremage are an hundred and. xxx. yeres. Few and euell haue the dayes of my lyfe bene and haue not attayned vnto the yeres of the lyfe of my fathers in the dayes of their pilgremages.

10 Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sēkope ʻa Felo, pea ʻalu ia mei he ʻao ʻo Felo.

And Iacob blessed Pharao and went out from him.

11 Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai mo hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he potu lelei ʻi he fonua ko Lamesisi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Felo.

And Ioseph prepared dwellinges for his father and his brethern and gaue them possessions in the londe of Egipte in the best of the londe: eue in the lande of Raemses as Pharao commaunded.

12 Pea naʻe tauhi ʻe Siosefa ʻene tamai, mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo e kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamai ʻaki ʻae mā, ʻo fakatatau mo honau ngaahi ʻapi.

And Ioseph made prouysion for his father his brethern and all his fathers housholde as yonge childern are fedd with bread.

13 Pea naʻe ʻikai ha mā ʻi he fonua kotoa; he naʻe lahi ʻae honge, pea naʻe vaivai ʻae fonua kotoa ʻo ʻIsipite, mo Kēnani, koeʻuhi ko e honge.

There was no bread in all the londe for the derth was exceadige sore: so yt ye lode of Egipte and ye lode of Canaan were fameshyd by ye reason of ye derth.

14 Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae paʻanga kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, ko e totongi ʻoe koane naʻa nau fakatau; pea ʻomi ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ki he fale ʻo Felo.

And Ioseph brought together all ye money yt was founde in yt lade of Egipte and of Canaan for ye corne which they boughte: and he layde vp the money in Pharaos housse.

15 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi paʻanga ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo e fonua ko Kēnani, pea haʻu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite kotoa pē kia Siosefa ʻo nau pehē, “Tuku mai haʻamau mā; he ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao? He kuo ʻikai ha paʻanga.”

When money fayled in the lade of Egipte and of Canaan all the Egiptians came vnto Ioseph and sayde: geue us sustenaunce: wherfore suffrest thou vs to dye before the for oure money is spent.

16 Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa, “Tuku mai hoʻomou fanga manu: pea te u ʻatu ʻae mā koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fanga manu, ʻo kapau kuo ʻosi ʻae paʻanga.”

Then sayde Ioseph: brynge youre catell and I well geue yow for youre catell yf ye be without money.

17 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻenau fanga manu kia Siosefa; pea ʻatu ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻae mā, ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi mo e fanga sipi, mo ʻenau fanga manu lalahi mo e fanga ʻasi; pea ne fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he taʻu ko ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fanga manu.

And they brought their catell vnto Ioseph. And he gaue them bread for horses and shepe and oxen and asses: so he fed them with bread for all their catell that yere.

18 Pea ʻi he ʻosi ʻae taʻu ko ia, pea nau toe haʻu kia Siosefa ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻo nau pehē kiate ia, “E ʻikai te mau fakafufū mei homauʻeiki, kuo ʻosi ʻemau paʻanga; pea kuo maʻu foki ʻe homauʻeiki ʻemau fanga manu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha meʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, ka ko homau sino pe mo homau ngaahi fonua.

When that yere was ended they came vnto him the nexte yere and sayde vnto him: we will not hydest from my lorde how that we haue nether money nor catell for my lorde: there is no moare left for my lorde but euen oure bodies and oure londes.

19 Ko e hā te mau mate ai ʻi ho ʻao, ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua? Ke ke fakatau ʻakimautolu mo homau fonua ʻaki ʻae mā, pea te mau hoko, mo homau fonua, ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo; pea tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tenga, koeʻuhi ke mau moʻui, kae ʻikai mate, pea ke ʻoua naʻa lala ʻae fonua.”

Wherfore latest thou us dye before thyne eyes and the londe to goo to noughte? bye us and oure landes for bread: and let both vs and oure londes be bonde to Pharao. Geue vs seed that we may lyue and not dye and that the londe goo not to wast.

20 Pea naʻe fakatau ʻe Siosefa ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsipite, kia Felo; he naʻe taki taha fakatau ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻa ʻene ngoue; he koeʻuhi naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he honge; pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Felo ʻae fonua kotoa pē.

And Ioseph boughte all the lande of Egipte for Pharao. For the Egiptians solde euery man his londe because the derth was sore apo them: and so the londe be came Pharaos.

21 Pea koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha.

And he appoynted the people vnto the cities from one syde of Egipte vnto the other:

22 Ka ko e fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatau; he naʻe ʻatu ʻae ʻinasi ki he kau taulaʻeiki meia Felo, pea naʻa nau kai ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Felo kiate kinautolu; ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau fakatau honau fonua.

only the londe of the Prestes bought he not. For there was an ordinauce made by Pharao for ye preastes that they shulde eate that which was appoynted vnto them: which Pharao had geuen them wherfore they solde not their londes.

23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki he kakai, “Vakai, kuo u fakatau ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni, mo homou fonua, maʻa Felo: vakai mai, ko e tenga eni kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou tūtuuʻi ʻaki ʻae fonua.

Then Ioseph sayde vnto the folke: beholde I haue boughte you this daye ad youre landes for Pharao. Take there seed and goo sowe the londe.

24 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono tupu te mou ʻomi hono vahe nima kia Felo, ka ko e vahe ʻe fā ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia, ko e tenga ki hoʻomou ngoue, mo e meʻakai kiate kimoutolu, mo kinautolu ʻi homou kau nofoʻanga, mo e meʻakai ki hoʻomou fānau.”

And of the encrease ye shall geue the fyfte parte vnto Pharao and. iiij. partes shalbe youre awne for seed to sowe the feld: and for you and them of youre housholdes and for youre childern to eate.

25 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo fakahaofi ʻemau moʻui; ʻofa ke mau ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻo homauʻeiki, pea mau nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kia Felo.

And they answered: Thou haste saued oure lyves Let vs fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde and let us be Pharaos servautes.

26 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe Siosefa ko e fono ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻe Felo hono vahe nima; ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ki he fonua ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe Felo.”

And Ioseph made it a lawe ouer the lade of Egipte vnto this daye: that men must geue Pharao the fyfte parte excepte the londe of the preastes only which was not bond vnto Pharao.

27 Pea naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻi he fonua ko Koseni; pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fonua, pea naʻa nau tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻaupito.

And Israel dwelt in Egipte: euen in the countre of Gosan. And they had their possessions therein and they grewe and multiplyed exceadingly.

28 Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Sēkope ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fitu; pea ko e taʻu kotoa pē ʻo Sēkope, ko e taʻu ʻe teau mo e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma fitu.

Moreouer Iacob lyued in the lande of Egipte. xvij. yeres so that the hole age of Iacob was an hundred and. xlvij. yere.

29 Pea naʻe ofi ʻae ʻaho ke pekia ai ʻa ʻIsileli; pea ui ia ke haʻu hono foha ko Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke ʻai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga, mo ke fai angalelei mo moʻoni kiate au; ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke tanu au ʻi ʻIsipite.

When the tyme drewe nye that Israel must dye: he sent for his sonne Ioseph and sayde vnto him: Yf I haue founde grace in thy syghte put thy hande vnder my thye and deale mercifully ad truely with me that thou burie me not in Egipte:

30 Ka te u tokoto au mo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, pea te ke fata au mei ʻIsipite, ʻo tanu au ʻi honau tanuʻanga.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”

but let me lye by my fathers and carie me out of Egipte and burie me in their buryall. And he answered: I will do as thou hast sayde.

31 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fuakava mai kiate au.” Pea ne fuakava kiate ia. Pea naʻe punou ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻuluʻi mohenga.

And he sayde: swere vnto me: ad he sware vnto him. And than Israel bowed him vnto the beddes head.
