1. 1NCENa kwe Josep eso ho Ferome megali latujuwelële, “Aya afanime Kenan life mago wafata lëlelëkakime. Bu sipsip kleli na bulmakau kleli na iniwa mëlesuma na bubë iniwa wesibi mata mohweija. Na bu Gosen lifate mëta kë tafa mëla.”BSBBSB: 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. 2NCENa Josep tobalimalë bolijahanime gali telëkakëme. Na bu mitisiya. Na eso hobë li mëta mitlija.BSBBSB: And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
3. 3NCENa kwe, eso ho takune tlome, “Sobo fëye wege fa etokweflone?” Na bu gali tafu mëtëtatla, “Sebo sipsip kleli nëlëkefëma, sebobë ayanino fene mëtlëkefëma.BSBBSB: “What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”
4. 4NCESebo metole nanëla, sebo ebë lifate mëta esokwaneme tafa nëglame. Hi jwa olë Kenan life mëta fata tëgletëname nëgeme na sebobë sipsip kleli agosaba jwa nëgeme. Na fëye wesibi hi mëglemene? Këme nëgeme, sebo metole nanëla, ju seme megali lalowa eglonamene, ‘Sobo Gosen life mëta lalowa tafa egelome.’ ”BSBBSB: 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. 5NCENa kwe eso ho, Fero, Josepme gali tlole, “Blijaya na blijahanina wamisiya, juna tafa egelobëme.BSBBSB: Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,
6. 6NCEJu Isip lifatebë iniwa afloko lowene sle eletëmeme, na jowa lale aflokomu hwi elotëmeme na yo elomeme kë mëta tafa namëglame. Na ju metole egletëmena bu Gosen life mëta tafa matla, kwe ebë lalowa. Na jubë ilawa mago ho flime eselëmeme, bu bulmakau kleli mëglëmabë alëge kë lowene sle mëgletlabë, na ju bume aniji elomeme, bobë bulmakau kleli mëglëma namëglame.”BSBBSB: 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. 7NCENa kwe Josep bolijayame eso ho Fero belë sei tlële. Na Jekop Gotome takune tlole, eso ho Ferome ululu sle nalëgëtaguleme na lëgaitawagule nalëgleme.BSBBSB: Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8. 8NCENa eso ho gali tlole, “O aya, jubë tlibutu ebënujune?”BSBBSB: “How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.
9. 9NCENa Jekop tafu tëtatle, “Bo ebë life mëta kë tafa nokweibë tlibutu këniji, 130. Ebë tako olë nane tafa nokwei kwe bome lebutako hobota mitisi tenë. Bobë afunino bu ebë life mëta tako tafa motokweijamu. Na bubë tlibutu ebë lebutakomu kwe bobë tlibutu tëlewa.”BSBBSB: “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. 10NCENa kwe Jekop eso home kaiye tlole na tuju.BSBBSB: Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
11. 11NCENa Josep bolijayaname, bolijahaniname taitame, lale life yo naloglomeme, eso ho fene gali tlole. Na bu Rameses life yo tlome, kë life mëta tafa namëglame. Kë life afloko lalemu kwe Isip lifatebë fli life afloko bu sogë lalowaha.BSBBSB: 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. 12NCEJosep bu hi wesibi bolijayaname, bolijahaniname, bolijayabë ilawa mago oneho name, lëlekefëme.BSBBSB: Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.
13. 13NCETako fone fata tletëme na iniwa life hi wesibi jwamu. Isip life mago oneho na Kenan life mago oneho bu foneme tako gigli lamëlekefëyamu.BSBBSB: 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. 14NCENa Isip life mago oneho na Kenan life mago oneho bu hi wesibi Josep mago balitina glo mëtlekefëya. Na bubë baliti yawe motloma. Na Josep kë glo lëglekëfebë baliti, eso hobë lo mëta gogwa tlekëfe.BSBBSB: 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. 15NCENa Isip life mago onehobë baliti na Kenan life mago onehobë baliti yawe motloma na iniwa oneho Josepme gali mutujuwelëla, na bu gali motlola, “Hi wesibi enëna. Hana enënaye kwe sebo jubë naba li mëta gigliwa nëglame. Ju seme aitana. Sebobë baliti wafi yawe mëgleme nëgeme.”BSBBSB: 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. 16NCENa kwe Josep gali tlome, “Sobobë baliti wayawe eglomona, kwe sobobë bulmakau kleli na sipsip kleli bome elesume kefëtëname. Na bo some hi wesibi kofayame nanëglëkefëyome.”BSBBSB: “Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.”
17. 17NCENa bubë hos kleli na bulmakau kleli na sipsip kleli na mëmë kleli na donki kleli Josepme mëtlelumekefëtla. Na Josep hi wesibi kofayame tlëkefëme. Na bu melë kë mëtlekefëyabë jowa tlibutu. Bu melëwa motokoujabëë na kë tlibutu mana yawe motlola.BSBBSB: 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. 18NCEKë tlibutu yawe motlola na ita Josepme mutujutla na gali motlola, “O eso ho, sebobë hobota jume hana ëho nëgëtatëyome. Sebobë baliti alujawamu. Na sebobë iniwa sipsip kleli na bulmakau kleli jume watlëkefëyo. Sebo jume nëglëkefëyobë wesibi hanane mu. Kwe sebowa nëtabëya na sebobë lifewa mëbagu.BSBBSB: 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. 19NCEJu seme foneme gigli nëglabëme asa elësëna na ju sebobë flëke feilawa tëbo lëglebëme asa elësëtëna. Na sebo metole nanëla, eso ho Fero, bu seme laitakefëname na seme hi wesibi lëlëkefëname. Kwe sebo bubë wege manawa fa nëgëtatlabë oneho fata nëgletlame. Na sebobë life mata bume yo nololame. Kwe ju seme hi wesibi na olo wesibi eglënana kwe sebo foneme hana gigli nëglame. Na sebo tafa sle nëlame na sebobë flëke tëbo jwa nalëgleme.”BSBBSB: 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. 20NCENa kwe ëbame kë fata tëglebë fone mana lëbe na bu tako fatamu lalële. Na Isip life mago oneho Josepme hi wesibi sëneme bubë flëke yo mëtlagula. Na Josep bu kë iniwa flëke eso ho Ferome yo tlole. Këme nëgeme Isip lifatebë iniwa flëke, eso ho Ferobë flëkemu fata tletle.BSBBSB: So Joseph acquired for Pharaoh all the land in Egypt; the Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields because the famine was so severe upon them. The land became Pharaoh’s,
21. 21NCENa Josep melë latle, Isip lifebë iniwa onehome gali tlome, “Sobo eso ho Ferobë wege manawa fa etakefëtelome.” Këme nëgeme iniwa oneho bubë wege manawa fa mëtakefëtla.BSBBSB: and Joseph reduced the people to servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.
22. 22NCEKwe, Josep bu fëso hi wesibi ahujume ahujume mëglekefëyabë, hobë flëke hi wesibi kofayame hana fa tëtagutëme. Melëme nëgeme eso ho Fero bu kë enëneme baliti tlëkefëmeme nëgeme. Na bu kë balitina hi wesibi glo mëtlekefëya. Këme nëgeme bubë flëke hi wesibina kofayame yo jwa këme motlola.BSBBSB: 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. 23NCENa Josep bu onehome gali tlome, “Sobo aholokwane ekoujo. Bo sobo na sobobë flëke hi wesibina wahihijika telë. Na sobo eso ho Ferobë wege manawa fa egëtatelobë oneho tafa waelo. Na eli, bo olo wesibi some nëglëyome, sobobë nuju mëta tobalo naekoujome.BSBBSB: 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. 24NCETokwafe nuju mago hi wesibi wawa egelona kwe sobo fu 5 mëta sa gwa etlo. Jowa lokotabobë eso ho Ferome elëlome, na 4 lokotabobë some egelome. Na somagobë fli unina tobalo egelobëme gogwa elome. Na fli sobo na sobobë nëbalena hi elome.”BSBBSB: 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. 25NCENa kwe oneho Josepme gali motlola, “Eso ho, ju seme hi wesibi watlëna, na seme wataitana, na sebo iniwa tafa sle nanëla, sebo gigli hana nëglame. Na sebo tako fleflesumu nanëla, eso ho Ferobë wege manawa fa nëgëtakefëtlame.”BSBBSB: “You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
26. 26NCENa kwe Josep Isip life onehome gali tlome, “Sobo aholokwane ekoujome na kë gali esogo elelëlome. Tokwafe nuju mago hi wesibi wawa egelona kwe sobo fu 5 mëta sa gwa etlo. Jowa lokotabobë eso ho Ferome elëlome.” Kë gali unalëme mana lëbagutëmeme na mana ekë lëbetëme. Kwe eso ho Fero bu fëso hi wesibi ahujume ahujume mëglekefëyabë hobë flëke hana fa tëtatëme.BSBBSB: 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.
27. 27NCEIsrael enëne bu Isip lifatebë provins Gosen mëta tafa mëtla. Na bu kë flëke bume yo tlome. Na bu lebutako nëbale fata mototoma. Na feilawa oneho fata mëtla.BSBBSB: Now the Israelites settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and became fruitful and increased greatly in number.
28. 28NCENa Jekop bu Isip life mëta 17 tlibutu tafa tle na bubë iniwa tlibutu këniji 147.BSBBSB: And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.
29. 29NCENa bu melowene latle, “Bo gli nëgelëme teife.” Këme nëgeme bu bowene Josepme këme gali telëkakle, ligisitle nalëgleme. Na bu tisitle. Na Jekop bume gali tlole, “Ju bome tolemu laletenë, kwe ju toba bobë yelukwafe sei elulukwakëmeme na bome megali sle enonëme, ‘Bo jume Isip life mëta hana matëmatë nëgëtëme.’BSBBSB: 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,
30. 30NCEBo gli nëgelëna, ju bome ebë life mëta asa matëmatë etanë. Weye. Matëbe. Bo mogome ebë life mago egehunëme na bobë afuninobë titono matëmatë mëta gwa eutanëme.” Na Josep gali metafu tëtatle, “Bo jume melë nëgëtëme ju fene gali ele.”BSBBSB: 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.”
31. 31NCEKwe Jekop gali tlole, “Ju bome iniyafememu fwa gali sle eglonëmemu, ju kë wesibi melë egotleme.” Na Josep bolijayame iniyafememu gali sle tlole. Na kwe, Jekop bubë ni labuku mëta eso life tuku totle na Gotome mana fleflesu tletle, Josep bume gali sle togloleme nëgeme.BSBBSB: “Swear to me,” Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
