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.

¹Pride torej Jožef in sporoči Faraonu ter reče: Oče moj in bratje moji so prišli s čredami svojimi in svojimi govedi in z vsem, kar imajo, iz dežele Kanaanske, in glej, v deželi Gosenski so.

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

²In vzame izmed bratov svojih pet mož in jih postavi pred Faraona.

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.

³In Faraon reče bratom njegovim: Kaj je opravilo vaše? Oni pa reko Faraonu: Pastirji drobnice so hlapci tvoji, mi in očetje naši.

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.

⁴Reko še Faraonu: Prišli smo prebivat kot tujci v tej deželi, zato ker ni pašnika čredam hlapcev tvojih, ker hudo pritiska lakota v deželi Kanaanski; sedaj torej naj prebivajo, prosimo, hlapci tvoji v deželi Gosenski.

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

⁵In Faraon ogovori Jožefa, rekoč: Oče tvoj in bratje tvoji so prišli k tebi.

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.

⁶Dežela Egiptovska ti je na voljo, v najboljšem kraju te dežele naseli očeta svojega in brate svoje: prebivajo naj v pokrajini Gosenski. Če pa poznaš kaj vrlih mož med njimi, jih postavi za gospodarje živini moji.

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

⁷Jožef pripelje tudi očeta svojega Jakoba ter ga postavi pred Faraona; in Jakob blagoslovi Faraona.

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

⁸In Faraon reče Jakobu: Koliko je dni življenja tvojega let?

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.

⁹Jakob pa reče Faraonu: Dni popotovanja mojega let je sto trideset let. Malo je dni življenja mojega in hudi so bili in ne dosežejo let življenja očetov mojih v dnevih njih popotovanja.

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

¹⁰In Jakob je blagoslovil Faraona, in odide izpred obličja Faraonovega.

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.

¹¹Naseli torej Jožef očeta svojega in brate svoje ter jim da posest v deželi Egiptovski, v najboljšem kraju dežele, v pokrajini Ramesesu, kakor je ukazal Faraon.

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

¹²In Jožef je priskrboval živež očetu svojemu in bratom svojim in vsej rodbini očeta svojega, primerno številu njih otročičev.

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.

¹³In ni bilo kruha v vsej deželi, ker je bila lakota silno huda, in dežela Egiptovska in dežela Kanaanska sta bili docela izmolzeni vsled lakote.

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.

¹⁴In Jožef pobere ves denar, kar se ga je našlo v deželi Egiptovski in Kanaanski, za žito, ki so ga kupovali; in ta denar je Jožef nesel v hišo Faraonovo.

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.

¹⁵Ko jim je torej pošel ves denar v deželi Egiptovski in v deželi Kanaanski, so prišli vsi Egipčani k Jožefu, govoreč: Daj nam kruha! zakaj bi neki umirali vpričo tebe? kajti denar je pošel.

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

¹⁶Reče pa Jožef: Dajte živino svojo, in dam vam kruha za živino vašo, če nimate denarja.

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.

¹⁷Pripeljavali so torej živino svojo k Jožefu, in Jožef jim je dajal kruha za konje in za njih črede in za njih goved in za osle, in tako jih je živil s kruhom za vso njih živino tisto leto.

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:

¹⁸Ali ko je preteklo to leto, pridejo k njemu drugo leto ter mu reko: Prikrivati ne moremo gospodu svojemu, da nam je pošel ves denar, in živina je prišla v last našemu gospodu; nič ni ostalo pred gospodom našim kakor le naša telesa in polja.

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.

¹⁹Zakaj bi ginili tebi pred očmi, mi in zemlja naša? Kupi nas in zemljišča naša za kruh, in bodimo s poljem svojim v sužnosti Faraonu; in daj nam semena, da živimo in ne umremo in se zemlja ne izpremeni v puščo.

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.

²⁰Pokupi torej Jožef vse polje v Egiptu za Faraona; kajti prodali so Egipčani vsak zemljišče svoje, zato ker jih je premagala lakota. Tako je prišla dežela Faraonu v last.

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

²¹Ljudstvo pa je preselil v mesta, od skrajne meje Egipta do druge meje njegove.

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.

²²Samo polja duhovnikov ni kupil, zakaj duhovniki so imeli delež od Faraona, in uživali so obrok svoj, ki jim ga je dal Faraon; zato niso prodali polja svojega.

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.

²³Reče pa Jožef ljudstvu: Glejte, kupil sem danes vas in polje vaše za Faraona: tu imate semena, da posejete zemljo.

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.

²⁴Ali kar bode pridelkov, dajte petino Faraonu, štirje deli pa bodo vaši za posetev polja in za živež vam in družini vaši in za živež otročičev vaših.

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.

²⁵Oni pa reko: Ohranil si nam življenje; najdemo naj milost v očeh gospoda svojega, in bodemo hlapci Faraonovi.

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.

²⁶In tisto je Jožef ustanovil za postavo do tega dne o poljih v Egiptu, da se daje Faraonu petina; samo polja duhovnikov niso prišla v last Faraonu.

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

²⁷In Izrael je prebival v deželi Egiptovski, v pokrajini Gosenski, in pridobili so si posest v njej, in so bili rodovitni in se pomnožili silno.

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

²⁸Živel je pa Jakob v deželi Egiptovski sedemnajst let; in bilo je dni Jakobovih, življenja njegovega let, sto štirideset in sedem let.

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:

²⁹Ko se pa približajo Izraelu dnevi, da umre, pokliče sina svojega Jožefa ter mu reče: Če sem milost našel v tvojih očeh, položi, prosim, roko svojo pod ledje moje in izkaži mi ljubezen in zvestobo: Nikar me ne pokoplji v Egiptu!

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.

³⁰Kadar bom ležal z očeti svojimi, nesi me nazaj iz Egipta in me pokoplji v njih grobišču. On pa reče: Storil bom po besedi tvoji.Ko pa veli: Prisezi mi! mu je prisegel. In Izrael se prikloni Bogu proti zglavju postelje svoje.

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

³¹Ko pa veli: Prisezi mi! mu je prisegel. In Izrael se prikloni Bogu proti zglavju postelje svoje.
