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.

¹And Joseph cometh, and declareth to Pharaoh, and saith, `My father, and my brethren, and their flock, and their herd, and all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and lo, they [are] in the land of Goshen.`

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

²And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth them before Pharaoh;

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.

³and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, `What [are] your works?` and they say unto Pharaoh, `Thy servants [are] feeders of a flock, both we and our fathers;`

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.

⁴and they say unto Pharaoh, `To sojourn in the land we have come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of Goshen.`

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

⁵And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, `Thy father and thy brethren have come unto thee:

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.

⁶the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell — they dwell in the land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the cattle I have.`

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

⁷And Joseph bringeth in Jacob his father, and causeth him to stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesseth Pharaoh.

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

⁸And Pharaoh saith unto Jacob, `How many [are] the days of the years of thy life?`

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.

⁹And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, `The days of the years of my sojournings [are] an hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the days of their sojournings.`

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

¹⁰And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before Pharaoh.

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.

¹¹And Joseph settleth his father and his brethren, and giveth to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded;

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

¹²and Joseph nourisheth his father, and his brethren, and all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the mouth of the infants.

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.

¹³And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is] very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are feeble because of the famine;

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.

¹⁴and Joseph gathereth all the silver that is found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn that they are buying, and Joseph bringeth the silver into the house of Pharaoh.

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.

¹⁵And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto Joseph, saying, `Give to us bread — why do we die before thee, though the money hath ceased?`

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

¹⁶and Joseph saith, `Give your cattle; and I give to you for your cattle, if the money hath ceased.`

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.

¹⁷And they bring in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph giveth to them bread, for the horses, and for the cattle of the flock, and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses; and he tendeth them with bread, for all their cattle, during that year.

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;

¹⁸And that year is finished, and they come in unto him on the second year, and say to him, `We do not hide from my lord, that since the money hath been finished, and possession of the cattle [is] unto my lord, there hath not been left before my lord save our bodies, and our ground;

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.

¹⁹why do we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground? buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and die not, and the ground is not desolate.`

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.

²⁰And Joseph buyeth all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians have sold each his field, for the famine hath been severe upon them, and the land becometh Pharaoh`s;

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

²¹as to the people he hath removed them to cities from the [one] end of the border of Egypt even unto its [other] end.

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.

²²Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have not sold their ground.

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.

²³And Joseph saith unto the people, `Lo, I have bought you to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye have sown the ground,

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.

²⁴and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.`

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

²⁵And they say, `Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;`

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.

²⁶and Joseph setteth it for a statute unto this day, concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh hath a fifth; only the ground of the priests alone hath not become Pharaoh`s.

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.

²⁷And Israel dwelleth in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and multiply exceedingly;

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.

²⁸and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and forty and seven years.

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.

²⁹And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calleth for his son, for Joseph, and saith to him, `If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and thou hast done with me kindness and truth; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt,

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.

³⁰and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.` And he saith, `I — I do according to thy word;`

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

³¹and he saith, `Swear to me;` and he sweareth to him, and Israel boweth himself on the head of the bed.
