< Genesis 47 >
1 Josẹfu lọ sọ fún Farao pé, “Baba mi àti àwọn arákùnrin mi, pẹ̀lú agbo ẹran, agbo màlúù àti ohun gbogbo tí wọ́n ní, ti dé láti ilẹ̀ Kenaani, wọ́n sì ti wà ní ilẹ̀ Goṣeni báyìí.”
And Joseph cometh, and declareth to Pharaoh, and saith, 'My father, and my brethren, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and lo, they [are] in the land of Goshen.'
2 Ó yan márùn-ún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ́, ó sì fi wọ́n han Farao.
And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth them before Pharaoh;
3 Farao béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Kí ni iṣẹ́ yín?” Wọ́n sì fèsì pé, “Darandaran ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn baba wa ti jẹ́ darandaran.”
and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, 'What [are] your works?' and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thy servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers;'
4 Wọ́n sì tún sọ fun un síwájú sí i pé, “A wá láti gbé ìhín yìí fún ìgbà díẹ̀ nítorí ìyàn náà mú púpọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn àwa ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò sì rí ewéko jẹ. Nítorí náà jọ̀wọ́ má ṣàì jẹ́ kí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tẹ̀dó sí ilẹ̀ Goṣeni.”
and they say unto Pharaoh, 'To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of Goshen.'
5 Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Baba rẹ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tọ̀ ọ́ wá,
And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, 'Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee:
6 ilẹ̀ Ejibiti sì nìyí níwájú rẹ, mú àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tẹ̀dó sí ibi tí ó dára jù nínú ilẹ̀ náà. Jẹ́ kí wọn máa gbé ní Goṣeni. Bí o bá sì mọ ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn tí ó ní ẹ̀bùn ìtọ́jú ẹran, fi wọ́n ṣe olùtọ́jú ẹran ọ̀sìn mi.”
the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell — they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the cattle I have.'
7 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu mú Jakọbu baba rẹ̀ wọlé wá sí iwájú Farao. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Jakọbu súre fún Farao tán.
And Joseph bringeth in Jacob his father, and causeth him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesseth Pharaoh.
8 Farao béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jakọbu pé, “Ọmọ ọdún mélòó ni ọ́?”
And Pharaoh saith unto Jacob, 'How many [are] the days of the years of thy life?'
9 Jakọbu sì dá Farao lóhùn, “Ọdún ìrìnàjò ayé mi jẹ́ àádóje, ọjọ́ mi kò pọ̀, ó sì kún fún wàhálà, síbẹ̀ kò ì tí ì tó ti àwọn baba mi.”
And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, 'The days of the years of my sojournings [are] an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.'
10 Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu tún súre fún Farao, ó sì jáde lọ kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before Pharaoh.
11 Josẹfu sì fi baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ó sì fún wọn ní ohun ìní ní ibi tí ó dára jù ní ilẹ̀ náà, ní agbègbè Ramesesi bí Farao ti pàṣẹ.
And Joseph settleth his father and his brethren, and giveth to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;
12 Josẹfu sì pèsè oúnjẹ fún baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ìdílé baba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bi iye àwọn ọmọ wọn.
and Joseph nourisheth his father, and his brethren, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n kò sí oúnjẹ ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà nítorí tí ìyàn náà mú púpọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti ilẹ̀ Kenaani gbẹ nítorí ìyàn náà.
And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;
14 Josẹfu gba gbogbo owó tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti Kenaani ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ti ọkà tí wọn ń rà, ó sì mú owó náà wá sí ààfin Farao.
and Joseph gathereth all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn that they are buying, and Joseph bringeth the silver into the house of Pharaoh.
15 Nígbà tí owó wọn tán pátápátá ní Ejibiti àti Kenaani, gbogbo Ejibiti wá bá Josẹfu, wọ́n wí pé, “Fún wa ní oúnjẹ, èéṣe tí a ó fi kú ní ojú rẹ? Gbogbo owó wa ni a ti ná tán.”
And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto Joseph, saying, 'Give to us bread — why do we die before thee, though the money hath ceased?'
16 Josẹfu wí pé, “Ẹ mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn yín wá, èmi yóò fún un yín ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹran ọ̀sìn yín, níwọ̀n bí owó yín ti tan.”
and Joseph saith, 'Give your cattle; and I give to you for your cattle, if the money hath ceased.'
17 Nítorí náà wọ́n mú àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn tọ Josẹfu wá, ó sì fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹṣin, àgùntàn, ewúrẹ́, màlúù àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ wọn. Ó sì mú wọn la ọdún náà já, tí ó ń fún wọn ní oúnjẹ ní ìpààrọ̀ fún ẹran ọ̀sìn wọn.
And they bring in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph giveth to them bread, for the horses, and for the cattle of the flock, and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses; and he tendeth them with bread, for all their cattle, during that year.
18 Nígbà tí ọdún náà parí, wọn padà tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ọdún tí ó tẹ̀lé, wọn wí pé, “A kò le fi pamọ́ fun olúwa wa pé níwọ̀n bí owó wa ti tan tí gbogbo ẹran ọ̀sìn wa sì ti di tirẹ̀ pé, kò sí ohunkóhun tókù fún olúwa wa bí kò ṣe ara wa àti ilẹ̀ wa.
And that year is finished, and they come in unto him on the second year, and say to him, 'We do not hide from my lord, that since the money hath been finished, and possession of the cattle [is] unto my lord, there hath not been left before my lord save our bodies, and our ground;
19 Èéṣe tí àwa yóò fi parun lójú rẹ, ra àwa tìkára wa àti ilẹ̀ wa ní ìpààrọ̀ fún oúnjẹ, àwa àti ilẹ̀ wa yóò sì wà nínú ìgbèkùn Farao. Fún wa ni oúnjẹ kí àwa kí ó má ba à kú, kí ilẹ̀ wa má ba à di ahoro.”
why do we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground? buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and die not, and the ground is not desolate.'
20 Nítorí náà Josẹfu ra gbogbo ilẹ̀ tí ó wà ní Ejibiti fún Farao, kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó ṣẹ́kù ní Ejibiti tí kò ta ilẹ̀ tirẹ̀ nítorí ìyàn náà mú jù fún wọn. Gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà sì di ti Farao,
And Joseph buyeth all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have sold each his field, for the famine hath been severe upon them, and the land becometh Pharaoh's;
21 Josẹfu sì sọ gbogbo ará Ejibiti di ẹrú láti igun kan dé èkejì.
as to the people he hath removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even unto its [other] end.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n ṣá, kò ra ilẹ̀ àwọn àlùfáà, nítorí wọ́n ń gba ìpín oúnjẹ lọ́wọ́ Farao, wọn sì ní oúnjẹ tí ó tó láti inú ìpín tí Farao ń fún wọn. Ìdí nìyí tí wọn kò fi ta ilẹ̀ wọn.
Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.
23 Josẹfu wí fún àwọn ènìyàn náà pé, “Níwọ́n ìgbà tí mo ti ra ẹ̀yin àti ilẹ̀ yín tan lónìí fún Farao, irúgbìn rèé, ẹ lọ gbìn ín sí ilẹ̀ náà.
And Joseph saith unto the people, 'Lo, I have bought you to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye have sown the ground,
24 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìre oko náà bá jáde, ẹ ó mú ìdákan nínú ìdámárùn-ún rẹ̀ fún Farao. Ẹ le pa ìdámẹ́rin tókù mọ́ fún ara yín àti ìdílé yín àti àwọn ọmọ yín.”
and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.'
25 Wọ́n dá á lóhùn pé, “O ti gbà wá là, ǹjẹ́ kí a rí ojúrere níwájú olúwa wa, àwa yóò di ẹrú Farao.”
And they say, 'Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;'
26 Nítorí náà Josẹfu sọ ọ́ di òfin nípa ọ̀rọ̀ ilẹ̀ ni Ejibiti, ó sì wà bẹ́ẹ̀ di òní olónìí pé, ìdákan nínú ìdámárùn-ún ìre oko jẹ́ ti Farao, ilẹ̀ àwọn àlùfáà nìkan ni kò di ti Farao.
and Joseph setteth it for a statute unto this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh hath a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone hath not become Pharaoh's.
27 Àwọn ará Israẹli sì tẹ̀dó sí Ejibiti ní agbègbè Goṣeni. Wọ́n ní ohun ìní fún ara wọn, wọ́n sì bí sí i tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọ́n pọ̀ si gidigidi ní iye.
And Israel dwelleth in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;
28 Jakọbu gbé ní Ejibiti fún ọdún mẹ́tàdínlógún iye ọdún ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ ẹẹ́tàdínlàádọ́jọ.
and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and forty and seven years.
29 Nígbà tí àkókò ń súnmọ́ etílé fún Israẹli láti kú, ó pe Josẹfu, ọmọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Bí mo bá rí ojúrere ni ojú rẹ̀ fi ọwọ́ rẹ sí abẹ́ itan mi, kí o sì ṣe ìlérí pé ìwọ yóò fi àánú àti òtítọ́ hàn sí mi. Má ṣe sin òkú mi sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calleth for his son, for Joseph, and saith to him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and thou hast done with me kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,
30 Ṣùgbọ́n, nígbà tí mo bá sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba mi, gbé mí jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti kí o sì sin mí sí ibi tí wọ́n sin àwọn baba mi sí.” Josẹfu sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi ó ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí.”
and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.' And he saith, 'I — I do according to thy word;'
31 Jakọbu wí pé, “Búra fún mi,” Josẹfu sì búra fún un. Israẹli sì tẹ orí rẹ̀ ba, bí ó ti sinmi lé orí ibùsùn rẹ̀.
and he saith, 'Swear to me;' and he sweareth to him, and Israel boweth himself on the head of the bed.
