Yosefi kwendaka zabisa Falawo, yandi tubaka: «Tata ya munu na bampangi ya munu me katuka na yinsi ya Kaana. Ntangu yayi bawu kele na kizunga ya Ngosene. Bawu me kwiza na bangombe ya bawu, na mameme, na bankombo, na bima nyonso ya bawu.»
BSB
BSB:
So Joseph went and told Pharaoh: “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all they own, have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.”
2
MKW
Na kati ya bampangi ya yandi, Yosefi bakaka bawu tanu, mpe yandi lakisaka bawu na sika ya Falawo.

And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3
MKW
Falawo yufulaka bampangi ya Yosefi: «Wapi kisalu yina beno ke salaka?» Bawu vutulaka: «Beto bisadi ya nge, beto kele mivungi ya mameme na bankombo, mutindu vwandaka bankooko ya beto.»
BSB
BSB:
“What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”
4
MKW
Bawu tubaka na Falawo: «Beto me kwiza zinga na bunzenza na yinsi yayi, samu ti nsatu ya nene me kuma na yinsi ya Kaana, mpe matiti ya kudikila bibulu ke dyaka ve. Mulemvo ya nge, pesa beto muswa ya kuzinga na kizunga ya Ngosene.»
BSB
BSB:
Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live in the land for a time, because there is no pasture for the flocks of your servants, since the famine in the land of Canaan has been severe. So now, please allow your servants to settle in the land of Goshen.”
5
MKW
Falawo tubaka na Yosefi: «Tata ya nge na bampangi ya nge me kwiza na sika nge.»
BSB
BSB:
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
6
MKW
Yinsi nyonso ya Ngipiti kele na maboko ya nge. Kwenda tula tata ya nge na bampangi ya nge na kizunga yina me lutila mbote. Bawu kwenda vwanda na kizunga ya Ngosene. Kana na kati ya bawu, nge zaba bayina me zaba mbote-mbote kisalu, tula bawu bamfumu ya bibulu ya munu.
BSB
BSB:
the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
7
MKW
Yosefi nataka tata ya yandi Yakobi, mpe yandi lakisaka yandi na sika ya Falawo. Na yina, Yakobi sakumunaka Falawo.
BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8
MKW
Falawo yufulaka Yakobi: «Nge me kuma na bamvula yikwa?»
BSB
BSB:
“How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.
9
MKW
Yakobi vutulaka na Falawo mutindu yayi: «Mu me kuma na bamvula nkama na makumi tatu (130). Mpe konso ntangu, mu vwandaka kwenda zinga na bayinsi ya bunzenza. Luzingu ya munu me vwanda ve ya yinda, yawu me vwanda ya mpasi. Yawu me fwanana ata fyoti ve na yinda ya luzingu ya bankooko ya munu, luzingu ya kwendaka tambula na bayinsi ya bunzenza.»
BSB
BSB:
“My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”
10
MKW
Yakobi sakumunaka dyaka Falawo, mpe yandi basikaka na yinzo ya Falawo.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
11

BSB
BSB:
So Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12
MKW
Yosefi vwandaka pesa madya na tata ya yandi, na bampangi ya yandi, mpe na bantu nyonso ya dikanda ya tata yandi, mutindu vwandaka lutangu ya bawu.
BSB
BSB:
Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
13
MKW
Madya vwandaka dyaka ve na yinsi nyonso samu ti, nsatu vwandaka me kuma ya kulutila. Na yinsi ya Ngipiti mpe na yinsi ya Kaana, bantu vwandaka tala mpasi mingi na nsatu.
BSB
BSB:
There was no food, however, in all that region, because the famine was so severe; the lands of Egypt and Canaan had been exhausted by the famine.
14
MKW
Yosefi kutikaka mbongo nyonso ya bantu ya Ngipiti mpe ya bantu ya Kaana, mbongo yina ba vwandaka sumbila bambuma ya faline. Yandi nataka yawu na yinzo ya Falawo.
BSB
BSB:
Joseph collected all the money to be found in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan in exchange for the grain they were buying, and he brought it into Pharaoh’s palace.
15
MKW
Ntangu mbongo ya bantu ya Ngipiti mpe ya bantu ya Kaana manisaka, bantu nyonso ya Ngipiti kwendaka tala Yosefi mpe bawu tubaka: «Pesa beto madya, nge zola ti beto kufwa na mantwala ya nge samu ti mbongo ke dyaka ve?»
BSB
BSB:
When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our funds have run out!”
16
MKW
Yosefi vutulaka: «Mutindu beno ke dyaka ve na mbongo, beno pesa munu bibulu ya beno mpe mu ke pesa beno madya.»
BSB
BSB:
“Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.”
17
MKW
Na yina, bawu nataka bibulu ya bawu na sika ya Yosefi. Yosefi pesaka bawu madya mpe bawu pesaka Yosefi bangombe, bampunda, mameme, bankombo na bambuluku. Ni mutindu yina ba salaka na mvula yina: Yosefi pesaka bawu madya, mpe bawu pesaka yandi bibulu nyonso ya bawu.
BSB
BSB:
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. Throughout that year he provided them with food in exchange for all their livestock.
18
MKW
Mvula yina manisaka. Na mvula yina landaka, bawu kwendaka na sika ya Yosefi, mpe bawu tubaka na yandi: «Mfumu ya beto, beto ke bumba ve nge yawu: Beto ke dyaka ve na mbongo mpe bibulu ya beto nyonso me kumaka yimeni ya nge. Yina me bikana na beto na kupesa nge, kaka ni banzutu ya beto na bantoto ya beto.
BSB
BSB:
When that year was over, they came to him the second year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord that our money is gone and all our livestock belongs to you. There is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.
19
MKW
Nge zola ti beto kufwa na mantwala ya nge, mpe ti bantoto ya beto kubikana ya mpamba? Sumba beto na bantoto ya beto na kupesa beto madya, mpe beto ke kuma bandongo ya Falawo, bantoto ya beto mpe ke kuma ya yandi. Pesa beto bambuma ya kukunda samu ti, beto kufwa ve, beto zinga. Mpe bantoto ya beto ke bikana ve ya mpamba.»
BSB
BSB:
Why should we perish before your eyes—we and our land as well? Purchase us and our land in exchange for food. Then we, along with our land, will be slaves to Pharaoh. Give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.”
20
MKW
Na yina, Yosefi sumbilaka Falawo bantoto nyonso ya Ngipiti. Bantu nyonso ya Ngipiti tekisaka bantoto ya bawu, samu ti nsatu lutilaka. Kubanda ntangu yina, yinsi nyonso kumaka mvwilu ya Falawo.

BSB
BSB:
However, he did not acquire the priests’ portion of the land, for it had been given to them by Pharaoh. They ate the rations that Pharaoh supplied; so they did not sell their land.
23
MKW
Yosefi tubaka na bantu: «Bubu yayi, mu me sumba beno na bantoto ya beno mpe beno me kuma mvwilu ya Falawo. Bambuma yawu yayi, beno lenda kunda bilanga ya beno.
BSB
BSB:
Then Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have acquired you and your land for Pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sow in the land.
24

Na ntangu ya kuyonzika bambuma, beno ke pesa kikunku ya tanu na sika ya Falawo. Na bikunku yiya yina ke bikana, beno ke kuzwa bambuma ya kukunda na ya kudya na bayinzo ya beno, beno na bana ya beno.»
BSB
BSB:
At harvest time, you are to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours as seed for the field and food for yourselves and your households and children.”
25
MKW
Bawu tubaka: «Mfumu, nge me vuukisa beto mpe nge me sadila beto mambu ya mbote. Na yina, beto me ndima na kuvwanda bandongo ya Falawo.»
BSB
BSB:
“You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
26

Ni yawu yina, Yosefi basisaka Musiku samu na mambu yina me tadila bantoto ya Ngipiti. Musiku yango ke ntete tii bubu yayi. Yawu ke na kutuba ti: Na ntangu ya kuyonzika bambuma, kikunku ya tanu fwana kupesama na sika ya Falawo. Kaka bantoto ya banganga-nzambi kele ve mvwilu ya Falawo.
BSB
BSB:
So Joseph established a law that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh, and it is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day. Only the priests’ land does not belong to Pharaoh.

When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise to show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,

but when I lie down with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me with them.” Joseph answered, “I will do as you have requested.”
