1فاتى يوسف واخبر فرعون وقال ابي واخوتي وغنمهم وبقرهم وكل ما لهم جاءوا من ارض كنعان. وهوذا هم في ارض جاسان.
1And Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said, My father and my brethren, and their sheep and their cattle, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2واخذ من جملة اخوته خمسة رجال واوقفهم امام فرعون.
2And he took from the whole number of his brethren, five men, and set them before Pharaoh.
3فقال فرعون لاخوته ما صناعتكم. فقالوا لفرعون عبيدك رعاة غنم نحن وآباؤنا جميعا.
3And Pharaoh said to his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers.
4وقالوا لفرعون جئنا لنتغرب في الارض. اذ ليس لغنم عبيدك مرعى. لان الجوع شديد في ارض كنعان. فالآن ليسكن عبيدك في ارض جاسان
4And they said to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for the sheep that thy servants have, for the famine is grievous in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5فكلم فرعون يوسف قائلا ابوك واخوتك جاءوا اليك.
5And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
6ارض مصر قدامك. في افضل الارض اسكن اباك واخوتك. ليسكنوا في ارض جاسان. وان علمت انه يوجد بينهم ذوو قدرة فاجعلهم رؤساء مواش على التي لي
6The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land settle thy father and thy brethren: let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if thou knowest men of activity among them, then set them as overseers of cattle over what I have.
7ثم ادخل يوسف يعقوب اباه واوقفه امام فرعون. وبارك يعقوب فرعون.
7And Joseph brought Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8فقال فرعون ليعقوب كم هي ايام سني حياتك.
8And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?
9فقال يعقوب لفرعون ايام سني غربتي مئة وثلاثون سنة. قليلة وردية كانت ايام سني حياتي ولم تبلغ الى ايام سني حياة آبائي في ايام غربتهم.
9And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they do not attain to the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojourning.
10وبارك يعقوب فرعون وخرج من لدن فرعون
10And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from Pharaoh.
11فاسكن يوسف اباه واخوته واعطاهم ملكا في ارض مصر في افضل الارض في ارض رعمسيس كما امر فرعون.
11And Joseph settled 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.
12وعال يوسف اباه واخوته وكل بيت ابيه بطعام على حسب الاولاد
12And Joseph maintained his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to the number of the little ones.
13ولم يكن خبز في كل الارض. لان الجوع كان شديدا جدا. فخوّرت ارض مصر وارض كنعان من اجل الجوع.
13And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very grievous; and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted through the famine.
14فجمع يوسف كل الفضة الموجودة في ارض مصر وفي ارض كنعان بالقمح الذي اشتروا. وجاء يوسف بالفضة الى بيت فرعون.
14And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15فلما فرغت الفضة من ارض مصر ومن ارض كنعان أتى جميع المصريين الى يوسف قائلين أعطنا خبزا. فلماذا نموت قدامك. لان ليس فضة ايضا.
15And when money came to an end in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, saying, Give us bread! for why should we die before thee? for [our] money is all gone.
16فقال يوسف هاتوا مواشيكم فاعطيكم بمواشيكم ان لم يكن فضة ايضا.
16And Joseph said, Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if [your] money be all gone.
17فجاءوا بمواشيهم الى يوسف. فاعطاهم يوسف خبزا بالخيل وبمواشي الغنم والبقر وبالحمير. فقاتهم بالخبز تلك السنة بدل جميع مواشيهم
17And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread for horses, and for flocks of sheep, and for herds of cattle, and for asses; and he fed them with bread for all their cattle that year.
18ولما تمت تلك السنة اتوا اليه في السنة الثانية وقالوا له لا نخفي عن سيدي انه اذ قد فرغت الفضة ومواشي البهائم عند سيدي لم يبق قدام سيدي الا اجسادنا وارضنا.
18And that year ended; and they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide [it] from my lord that since [our] money is come to an end, and the herds of cattle are in the possession of my lord, nothing is left before my lord but our bodies and our land.
19لماذا نموت امام عينيك نحن وارضنا جميعا. اشترنا وارضنا بالخبز فنصير نحن وارضنا عبيدا لفرعون. واعط بذارا لنحيا ولا نموت ولا تصير ارضنا قفرا
19Why should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be bondmen to Pharaoh; and give seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.
20فاشترى يوسف كل ارض مصر لفرعون. اذ باع المصريون كل واحد حقله. لان الجوع اشتد عليهم. فصارت الارض لفرعون.
20And Joseph bought all the soil of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them; and the land became Pharaoh's.
21واما الشعب فنقلهم الى المدن من اقصى حد مصر الى اقصاه.
21And as for the people, he removed them into the cities, from [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end of it.
22الا ان ارض الكهنة لم يشترها. اذ كانت للكهنة فريضة من قبل فرعون. فاكلوا فريضتهم التي اعطاهم فرعون. لذلك لم يبيعوا ارضهم
22Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had an assigned portion from Pharaoh, and ate their assigned portion which Pharaoh had given them; so they did not sell their land.
23فقال يوسف للشعب اني قد اشتريتكم اليوم وارضكم لفرعون. هوذا لكم بذار فتزرعون الارض.
23And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and sow the land.
24ويكون عند الغلّة انكم تعطون خمسا لفرعون. والاربعة الاجزاء تكون لكم بذارا للحقل وطعاما لكم ولمن في بيوتكم وطعاما لاولادكم.
24And it shall come to pass in the increase that ye shall give the fifth to Pharaoh, and the 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.
25فقالوا احييتنا. ليتنا نجد نعمة في عيني سيدي فنكون عبيدا لفرعون.
25And they said, Thou hast saved us alive. Let us find favour in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's bondmen.
26فجعلها يوسف فرضا على ارض مصر الى هذا اليوم لفرعون الخمس. الا ان ارض الكهنة وحدهم لم تصر لفرعون
26And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, [that] the fifth should be for Pharaoh, except the land of the priests: theirs alone did not become Pharaoh's.
27وسكن اسرائيل في ارض مصر في ارض جاسان. وتملكوا فيها واثمروا وكثروا جدا.
27And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they had possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.
28وعاش يعقوب في ارض مصر سبع عشرة سنة. فكانت ايام يعقوب سنو حياته مئة وسبعا واربعين سنة.
28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.
29ولما قربت ايام اسرائيل ان يموت دعا ابنه يوسف وقال له ان كنت قد وجدت نعمة في عينيك فضع يدك تحت فخذي واصنع معي معروفا وامانة. لا تدفني في مصر.
29And the days of Israel approached that he should die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt;
30بل أضطجع مع آبائي. فتحملني من مصر وتدفنني في مقبرتهم. فقال انا افعل بحسب قولك.
30but when I shall lie with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their sepulchre. And he said, I will do according to thy word.
31فقال احلف لي. فحلف له. فسجد اسرائيل على راس السرير
31And he said, Swear to me; and he swore to him. And Israel worshipped on the bed's head.
