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.

¹[Ny nahazoan'Isiraely sy ny ankohonany fonenana tsara tao Gosena, ary ny nanjo ny Egyptiana noho ny hamafin'ny mosary] Ary Josefa nankao amin'i Farao ka nilaza taminy hoe: Ny raiko sy ny rahalahiko ary ny ondry aman'osiny sy ny ombiny mbamin'izay rehetra ananany dia efa tonga avy tany amin'ny tany Kanana; ka, indreo, ao amin'ny tany Gosena izy.

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

²Ary ny dimy lahy tamin'ny rahalahiny no nalainy ka nentiny teo anatrehan'i Farao.

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.

³Ary hoy Farao tamin'ireo rahalahin'i Josefa: Inona moa no raharaha fanaonareo? Dia hoy izy tamin'i Farao: Mpiandry ondry izahay mpanomponao hatramin'ny razanay.

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.

⁴Ary hoy koa izy tamin'i Farao: Mba hivahiny eto amin'ity tany ity no nihavianay; fa tsy misy ahitra ho an'ny ondry aman'osin'ny mpanomponao, fa mafy ny mosary any amin'ny tany Kanana; koa ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka mba honina ao amin'ny tany Gosena ny mpanomponao.

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

⁵Ary Farao dia niteny tamin'i Josefa ka nanao hoe: Ny rainao sy ny rahalahinao efa tonga atỳ aminao;

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.

⁶ny tany Egypta dia eo anoloanao; koa amin'izay tany tsara indrindra no amponeno ny rainao sy ny rahalahinao; aoka honina ao amin'ny tany Gosena izy ary raha fantatrao fa misy lehilahy mahay eo aminy, tendreo izy ho lehiben'ny mpiandry ny omby aman'ondriko.

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

⁷Dia nentin'i Josefa ho eo anatrehan'i Farao Jakoba rainy; ary Jakoba dia nisaotra an'i Farao.

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

⁸Ary hoy Farao tamin'i Jakoba: Firy taona moa no andro niainanao?

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.

⁹Dia hoy Jakoba tamin'i Farao: Telo-polo amby zato taona no andro nivahiniako; sady vitsy no ratsy ny andro niainako ka tsy nahatratra ny andro niainan'ny razako tamin'ny andro nivahiniany.

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

¹⁰Ary Jakoba, rehefa nisaotra an'i Farao, dia lasa niala teo anatrehany.

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.

¹¹Dia namponenin'i Josefa ny rainy sy ny rahalahiny ka nomeny zara-tany tao amin'ny tany Egypta, dia tao amin'ny tany tsara indrindra, tao amin'ny tany Ramesesa, araka izay efa nandidian'i Farao.

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

¹²Dia novelomin'i Josefa tamin'ny hanina ny rainy sy ny rahalahiny mbamin'ny ankohonan'ny rainy rehetra, araka ny isan'ny zanany avy.

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.

¹³Ary tsy nisy hanina teo amin'ny tany rehetra; fa mafy indrindra ny mosary, ka efa reraka ny tany Egypta sy ny tany Kanana noho ny mosary.

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.

¹⁴Dia nangonin'i Josefa ny vola rehetra izay hita tany amin'ny tany Egypta sy tany amin'ny tany Kanana, dia izay vidin'ny vary novidin'ny olona, ka nampidirin'i Josefa tao an-tranon'i Farao ny vola.

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.

¹⁵Ary rehefa lany avokoa ny vola tany amin'ny tany Egypta sy tany amin'ny tany Kanana, dia nankeo amin'i Josefa ny Egyptiana rehetra ka nanao hoe: Omeo hanina izahay; fa nahoana no dia ho faty eto anatrehanao izahay? fa efa lany avokoa ny vola.

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

¹⁶Ary hoy kosa Josefa : Omeo ny omby aman'ondrinareo hotakalozako, raha lany ny vola.

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.

¹⁷Dia nentiny tany amin'i Josefa ny omby aman'ondriny, ka notakalozan'i Josefa hanina ny soavaliny sy ny ondry aman'osiny ary ny ombiny sy ny borikiny; dia nomeny hanina izy tamin'izany taona izany ho takalon'ny bibiny rehetra.

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:

¹⁸Ary rehefa tapitra izany taona izany, dia nankeo aminy indray ny olona tamin'ny taona faharoa ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy azonay afenina amin'itompokolahy fa efa lany ny vola, ary efa lasan'itompokolahy avokoa ny biby fiompy; tsy misy na inona na inona intsony eto imason'itompokolahy afa-tsy ny tenanay sy ny taninay;

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.

¹⁹nahoana no dia ho faty izahay eto anatrehanao, dia izahay sy ny taninay? Takalozy hanina ny tenanay sy ny taninay, dia ho mpanompon'i Farao izahay sy ny taninay: ary omeo voa hafafy izahay, mba ho velona, fa tsy ho faty, ary mba tsy ho lao ny tany.

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.

²⁰Dia notakalozan'i Josefa ho an'i Farao ny tany Egypta rehetra; fa ny Egyptiana samy nanakalo ny sahany avy, satria resy mosary izy; ary dia lasan'i Farao ny tany.

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

²¹Ary ny olona dia nafindrany ho ao amin'ny tanàna hatramin'ny faran'ny faritr'i Egypta rehetra.

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.

²²Ny tanin'ny mpisorona ihany no tsy mba natakalony; fa nanana anjara tamin'i Farao ny mpisorona ka nihinana ny anjara izay nomen'i Farao azy; izany no tsy nanakalozany ny taniny.

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.

²³Dia hoy Josefa tamin'ny olona: Indro, efa voavidiko androany ianareo sy ny taninareo ho an'i Farao; koa indreny ny voa hafafinareo, dia hofafazanareo ny tany.

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.

²⁴Ary rehefa misy vokatra, dia haterinareo ho an'i Farao ny ampahadiminy; ary ho anareo kosa ny efa-toko, ho voa hafafy any an-tsaha sy hohaninareo mbamin'izay ao an-tranonareo ary hohanin'ny zanakareo.

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.

²⁵Ary hoy izy: Efa namonjy ny ainay ianao; aoka mba hahita fitia eto imason'itompokolahy izahay, dia ho mpanompon'i Farao.

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.

²⁶Dia nataon'i Josefa ho lalana tany amin'ny tany Egypta mandraka androany izany; fa ho an'i Farao ny ampahadiminy; fa ny tanin'ny mpisorona ihany no tsy mba lasan'i Farao.

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

²⁷Ary nonina tao amin'ny tany Egypta ny Isiraely, dia tao amin'ny tany Gosena; ary nahazo zara-tany tao izy, dia nihamaro anaka ka nihabetsaka indrindra.

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

²⁸Ary ny andro niainan'i Jakoba tao amin'ny tany Egypta dia fito ambin'ny folo taona; koa ny andro rehetra niainan'i Jakoba dia fito amby efa-polo amby zato taona.

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:

²⁹Ary rehefa antomotra ny andro hahafatesan'Isiraely, dia nampaka an'i Josefa zanany izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha mba nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, masìna ianao, ataovy ato ambanin'ny feko ny tananao, ka ataovy amiko izay soa sy izay marina; masìna ianao aza alevina atỳ Egypta aho.

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.

³⁰Fa rehefa lasa mody mandry any amin'ny razako aho, dia ho entinao hiala atỳ Egypta ka halevinao ao amin'ny fasany. Dia hoy Josefa: Hanao araka ny teninao aho.Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan'ny farafara Isiraely.

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

³¹Ary hoy Jakoba: Mianiana ary amiko. Dia nianiana taminy izy. Dia niankohoka teo an-dohan'ny farafara Isiraely.
