Genesis 47 (WLO)

1Kasiimpomo alingkamo Yusuf apaumba i Firaun, pogauna, "Amana bhatua tee manga witinaina bhatua tee gulumana manga bhembe dumba, gulumana sapi, tee sagala giu pewauana aumbamo minaaka i Tana Kanaan. Sii-sii manga incia dhaangia i Tana Gosyen."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.”

2Yusuf abhawa lima mia minaaka i tanga-tangana manga witinaina to apokawaaka Firaun.And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.

3Kasiimpo, Firaun aabhamo i manga witinaina Yusuf sumai, "Opea karajaamiu?" Alawanimo manga i Firaun, "Manga bhatuamu sii mojaganina kadhambaaka, mboomo uka opuamami pitu lapina."“What is your occupation?” Pharaoh asked Joseph’s brothers. “Your servants are shepherds,” they replied, “both we and our fathers.”

4Pogauna uka manga i Firaun, "Ingkami taumba to tamboore i lipu incia sii mboomo dhaga, roonamo kasukarana kaara i Tana Kanaan sumai ahandamo mpuu sabutuna indamo dhaangia tana mokorumpu to gulumana bhembe dumba manga bhatuamu sii. Sabutuna, ingkami taemani sii-sii, undaakamea manga bhatuamu sii amboore i Tana Gosyen.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.”

5Kasiimpo apogau Firaun i Yusuf, "Amamu tee manga witinaimu aumbamo.Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have come to you,

6Tana Mesir sii pewauamu uka. Papindaia o amamu tee manga witinaimu i tampa mbooresa momalapena mpuu i lipu incia sii. Taroakamo manga incia amboore i Tana Gosyen. Tee ande umataua dhaangia manga mia momakidha aʼurusu binata i tanga-tangana manga incia, patugasia manga amembali moʼurusuna kadhambaakaku."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.”

7Kasiimpomo Yusuf abhawamo Yakub, amana, apokawaaka Firaun, kasiimpo Yakub aemanimo barakati to Firaun.Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8Aabhamo Firaun i Yakub, "Pia taomo umuruna uma?"“How many years have you lived?” Pharaoh asked.

9Lawanina Yakub i Firaun, "Umuruku 130 taomo; kupekalingka-lingkamo mboomo dhaga i dunia sii. Dhadhiku anarakaa mpuu tee amampodho ande tapapokanea tee umuruna opuaku lantapi-lantapi wakutuu manga incia apekalingka-lingka mboomo dhaga uka i dunia sii."“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.”

10Sapadhana incia sumai Yakub aemanimo barakati to Firaun, kasiimpomo alimba minaaka i aroana Firaun.Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.

11Yusuf apasiapuakamo tampa to amana tee manga witinaina to mbooresana. Adhawuakamea i manga incia tana pewauana i lipu momalapena i Mesir, siitumo i Tana Rameses, apokana tee parintana Firaun.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.

12Yusuf apadhaangiaia bhari-bharia kinande ifaraluuna amana, manga witinaina, tee saangua miana bhanuana amana, mboomo kabharina manga anana.Joseph also provided his father and brothers and all his father’s household with food for their families.

13Saangu wakutuu, indamo dhaangia kinande i saangua lipu sumai roonamo ahandamo mpuu kasukarana kaara. Raʼeatina Tana Mesir tee Tana Kanaan amalute roonamo kasukarana kaara sumai.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.

14Yusuf aromusakamo bhari-bharia doi modhaangiana i Mesir tee Kanaan, siitumo doi ipomeaakana manga mia to aali gandum, kasiimpo abhawea doi sumai i maligena Firaun.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.

15Sapadhana doi i Tana Mesir tee i Tana Kanaan amapupu, bhari-bharia miana Mesir uka aumbamo i Yusuf tee apogau, "Mangadhawupo kinande. Pokia ingkami bhetamate i aroana opu? Doimami amapupumo!"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!”

16Alawanimo Yusuf, "Ande doimu amapupumo, pasarakaakamea kadhambaakamu, kasiimpo iaku bhekudhawukomiu kinande to kabholosina kadhambaakamiu."“Then bring me your livestock,” said Joseph. “Since the money is gone, I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock.”

17Kasiimpo manga abhawamo kadhambaakana i Yusuf, tee Yusuf adhawuakamo i manga incia kinande to kabholosina ajara, bhembe dumba, sapi, tee keledaina manga. I tao incia sumai incia apasiapuakamea kinandena manga to kabholosina bhari-bharia kadhambaakana manga.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.

18Satolalona tao incia sumai, manga incia aumbamo uka i Yusuf i tao rua taona apogaumo, "Inda membali ingkami tabuniaka minaaka i opuku ande doimami amapupumo tee kadhambaakamami amembalimo pewauana opuku. Indamo dhaangia mokobhilaana i aroana opuku, soomo badamami tee tanamami.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.

19Pokia ingkami tee uka tanamami tabeana tamate i aroana opu? Manga alamo tee uka tanamami to kabholosina kinande. Taroakamo ingkami tee tanamami amembali bhatuana Firaun. Mangadhawu wine tadhadhiaka mamudhaakana ingkami inda tamate tee tana incia sii inda amatuu.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.”

20Sabutuna Yusuf aalia bhari-bharia tana i Mesir to Firaun, sababuna miana Mesir aasoa inawuna sumbesumbere. Hali incia sumai apewaua manga roonamo kanarakaa kasukarana kaara sumai akana manga incia. Tee mboo sumai, lipu sumai amembali pewauana Firaun.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,

21Sapadhana incia sumai, Yusuf apapinda raʼeatina i manga kota i Mesir, minaaka i tapa sakawana uka i satapana.and Joseph reduced the people to servitude from one end of Egypt to the other.

22Maka incia inda aali tanana manga imamu roonamo manga imamu tee dhawuna motoka minaaka i Firaun, tee manga incia akande minaaka i dhawuna motoka idhawuakana Firaun i manga incia sumai. Siitumo sababuna, manga incia inda aasoa tanana.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.

23Kasiimpomo, Yusuf apogau i raʼeatina, "I eo sii iaku padhamo kualia karomiu tee tanamiu to Firaun. Siimo wine to ipombulamiu i tana sumai.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.

24I wakutuuna bulaana timpua, ingkomiu tabeana upasaraakaakea saperlima dhawuna i Firaun, sainamo pata dhawuna amembali pewauamiu. Pakemea incia sumai to winena inawumiu, to kinandemiu tee manga incia modhaangiana i bhanuamiu, tee kinandena manga anamiu."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.”

25Alawanimo manga, "Opu padhamo upasalaamatia dhadhimami! Somanamo opu upeelu, ingkami taunda tamembali bhatuana Firaun."“You have saved our lives,” they said. “We have found favor in our lord’s eyes, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

26Sumaimo, Yusuf apadhaangia saangu hukumu to lipu Mesir sampemo sii-sii hukumu incia sumai dhaangia atopake, siitumo ande saperlima dhawu minaaka i hasilina tana amembali pewauana Firaun. Tangkanamo tanana manga imamu inda momembalina pewauana Firaun.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.

27Miana Israel amboore i Tana Mesir, siitumo i Tana Gosyen. Manga incia ambooremo iwe sumai, akoana-anamo, akoopu-opuamo tee ahandamo mpuu kabharina.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.

28Yakub adhadhi 17 tao kangengena i Tana Mesir. Jadi, Yakub akoʼumurumo 147 tao.And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the length of his life was 147 years.

29Wakutuuna eona matena Israel amakasumo, incia akembamo anana, Yusuf, tee apogau i incia, "Ande ingkoo umaasiakaaku, dhikaia limamu i tambena paaku tee sumpamo ande ingkoo bheupatiumbaaka kaasimu molagina i iaku. Kuemani bholi ukoburuaku i Mesir.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,

30Sumpamo, sapadhana kuporomu tee manga kaomuku i alamuna mia momate, bhawea maeatiku minaaka i Mesir, kasiimpo koburuaku i nuncana liana koburuna opuopuaku i Tana Kanaan." Alawanimo Yusuf, "Bhekupewaua kasameamu sumai, Ama."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.”

31Apogaumo Yakub, "Sumpamo i iaku." Kasiimpomo Yusuf uka asumpamo. Sapadhana incia sumai, Israel asujumo tee asombamo Aulataʼala i weta pobhaana koleana.“Swear to me,” Jacob said. So Joseph swore to him, and Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
