¹Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.

¹Laj José quicuulac riqßuin laj faraón ut quixye re: —Lin yucuaß joß eb ajcuiß li cuas xeßel chak saß li tenamit Canaán ut anakcuan ac xeßcßulun saß li naßajej Gosén. Xeßxcßam chak chixjunileb lix quetômk chirix joß eb ajcuiß chixjunil li cßaßru cuan reheb, chan.

²And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.

²Laj José quixcßam ôb li ras chirix ut quixcßuteb aßan chiru laj faraón re nak tixnauheb ru.

³And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.

³Ut laj faraón quixye reheb: —¿Cßaßru cßanjelil nequebânu lâex? chan. Eb aßan queßchakßoc ut queßxye re: —Chacuy taxak kamâc, at Kâcuaß. Anakcuan cuanco châcuu re nak lâat tattaklânk ke. Lâo aj ilol xul joß eb ajcuiß li kaxeßtônil yucuaß najter, chanqueb.

⁴They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

⁴Ut queßxye ajcuiß re laj faraón: —Lâo xochal chi cuânc arin xban nak kßaxal numtajenak li cueßej aran Canaán, yal ta li pachßayaß cuan re teßxcuaß li kaquetômk. Aßan aj e nak xochal chixtzßâmanquil âcue nak tâbânu usilal, toâcanab chi cuânc saß li naßajej Gosén, chanqueb re.

⁵And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:

⁵Ut laj faraón quixye re laj José: —Lâ yucuaß joß eb ajcuiß lâ cuas xeßcßulun âcuiqßuin.

⁶The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.

⁶Chixjunil li tenamit Egipto cuan rubel âtakl. Canabeb chi cuânc saß li naßajej Gosén xban nak li chßochß aßan châbil. Ut cui cuanqueb saß êyânk li nequeßxbânu chi us li cßanjel, tâkßaxtesiheb inquetômk reheb re nak eb aßan teßilok re, chan laj faraón.

⁷And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

⁷Ut laj José quirocsi lix yucuaß re nak laj faraón tixnau ru. Ut laj Jacob quixtzßâma re li Kâcuaß Dios nak aßan taxak chi-osobtesînk re laj faraón.

⁸And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?

⁸Laj faraón quixpatzß re laj Jacob: —¿Jarub chihab cuan âcue lâat, Jacob? chan re.

⁹And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

⁹Ut laj Jacob quichakßoc ut quixye re: —Jun ciento riqßuin lajêb xcaßcßâl chihab cuoquic chi bêc lâin yalak bar. Nabal li raylal xincßul saß ruchichßochß ut incßaß qßui lin chihab joß lix chihab eb lin xeßtônil yucuaß nak queßcuan saß ruchichßochß, chan laj Jacob.

¹⁰And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

¹⁰Ut laj Jacob quixtzßâma re li Kâcuaß Dios nak aßan taxak tâosobtesînk re laj faraón. Nak quixchakßrabi laj faraón, laj Jacob qui-el riqßuin.

¹¹And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

¹¹Ut laj José quixqßue chi cuânc lix yucuaß saß li tenamit Egipto, joßeb ajcuiß li ras. Ut quixsi reheb li chßochß li kßaxal châbil. Li naßajej aßan Gosén xcßabaß. Ramesés ajcuiß nayeman re li naßajej aßan. Laj José quixbânu joß quiyeheß re xban laj faraón.

¹²And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

¹²Laj José quixqßue xtzacaêmk lix yucuaß joß eb ajcuiß li ras ut chixjunileb li rechßalal. Aß yal chanru xqßuialeb lix cocßal, chixjunileb queßxcßul lix tzacaêmk.

¹³And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

¹³Nak quinumta li cueßej aran, mâcßaß chic li tzacaêmk saß li tenamit Egipto. Câmqueb re chixjunileb laj Egipto joßeb ajcuiß laj Canaán xban lix tzßocajiqueb.

¹⁴And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

¹⁴Chixjunil li tumin li queßxtoj cuiß lix trigo eb laj cananeo joß eb ajcuiß laj Egipto, laj José quicßuluc re ut quixkßaxtesi saß rochoch laj faraón.

¹⁵And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

¹⁵Chi joßcaßin quilaj chixjunil li tumin re li tenamit Canaán joß ajcuiß Egipto. Ut chixjunileb laj Egipto queßcuulac riqßuin laj José ut queßxye re: —Bânu usilal, qßue bayak katzacaêmk. ¿Ma naru ta biß toâqßue chi câmc xban nak anakcuan xlaj li katumin? chanqueb re laj José.

¹⁶And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

¹⁶Laj José quixye reheb: —Lâex cuan lê cuacax. Naru têqßue lê cuacax chokß xtzßak lê trigo, chan.

¹⁷And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

¹⁷Eb aßan queßxkßaxtesi lix cuacaxeb riqßuin laj José, joß eb ajcuiß lix cacuây, lix carner ut eb lix bûr. Ut laj José quixqßue lix tzacaêmk aß yal chanru xqßuialeb lix cuacaxeb. Ut chiru li chihab aßan queßxqßueheb lix cuacax chokß xtzßakeb lix trigo.

¹⁸When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

¹⁸Nak quirakeß li chihab aßan, queßcuulac cuißchic riqßuin laj José ut queßxye re: —Lâo incßaß takamuk châcuu nak quilaj li katumin joß eb ajcuiß li cuacax. Chixjunil li cßaßru ke lâo, ac xkakßaxtesi re laj faraón. Caßaj chic lâo cuanco ut li kachßochß.

¹⁹Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

¹⁹Incßaß naru tocâmk châcuu. Anakcuan lâo mâcßaß chic naru nakabânu. Us raj toâlokß chokß âmôs ut tâlokß ajcuiß li kachßochß re nak tâqßue bayak katzacaêmk.

²⁰And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.

²⁰Ut laj José quixlokß chixjunil lix chßochßeb chokß re laj faraón. Eb laj Egipto quilajeßxcßayi chixjunil lix chßochßeb xban nak numtajenak li cueßej. Ut chixjunil li chßochß quicana chokß re laj faraón.

²¹And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.

²¹Chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß cßalebâl queßchal saß li nimla tenamit re teßcßanjelak.

²²Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.

²²Caßaj cuiß eb laj cßamol be re tijoc incßaß queßxcßayi lix chßochßeb riqßuin laj José xban nak junelic nequeßqßueheß xtzacaêmk xban laj faraón. Joßcan nak incßaß queßxcßayi lix chßochß.

²³Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.

²³Tojoßnak laj José quixye reheb li tenamit: —Anakcuan lâex lokßbilex chêjunilex inban chokß re laj faraón joß eb ajcuiß lê chßochß. Cueß lê riyaj ut ayukex chi âuc.

²⁴And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

²⁴Nak têsicß ru lê racuîmk, têqßue li roß jachal re laj faraón. Ut li câhib jachal chic tâcanâk chokß êre. Aßan tâcßanjelak chêru chokß re êriyaj nak tex-âuk saß li chihab jun. Ut tâcßanjelak ajcuiß chokß xtzacaêmk lê ralal êcßajol joß ajcuiß chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß lê rochoch, chan laj José.

²⁵And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

²⁵Eb aßan queßchakßoc ut queßxye re: —Lâo xocoleß âban. Chixcßul taxak âchßôl lâat nak lâo to-oc chokß xmôs laj faraón, chanqueb.

²⁶And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.

²⁶Tojoßnak laj José quixqßue jun li chakßrab saß li tenamit Egipto re nak laj faraón junelic tixcßul li roß jachal li acuîmk li tâêlk aran.

²⁷And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

²⁷Ut eb laj Israel queßcana aran Egipto saß li naßajej Gosén. Ut queßtam li cßaßru reheb aßan. Ut queßqßuian ajcuiß eb li ralal xcßajol.

²⁸And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

²⁸Cuuklaju chihab tzßakal quicuan laj Jacob saß li tenamit Egipto. Jun ciento riqßuin cuukub roxcßâl chihab quixbânu laj Jacob saß ruchichßochß.

²⁹And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:

²⁹Nak yô chi cuulac xkßehil lix camic, laj Israel quixbok laj José riqßuin ut quixye re: —Anakcuan lâin tincuaj tâbânu junak usilal cue. Qßue lâ cuukß rubel cuaß joß cßaynakeb chixbânunquil li katenamit nak nequeßxbânu li juramento. Tintzßâma châcuu nak incßaß tinâmuk arin Egipto.

³⁰But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

³⁰Nak tincâmk, tinêrisi Egipto ut tinêcßam aran Canaán ut tinêmuk chixcßatk li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lin yucuaß camenak joß ajcuiß lin yucuaßchin, chan laj Jacob. Ut laj José quixye re: —Us.

³¹And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

³¹Ut lix yucuaß quixye re: —Ye cue ma relic chi yâl nak tâbânu chi joßcan, chan. Ut laj José quixye re: —Relic chi yâl tinye âcue nak lâin tinbânu chi joßcan, chan. Ut laj Jacob quix-anab rib chiru xjolom lix chßât ut quixlokßoni li Kâcuaß Dios.
