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.

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.`

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

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

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

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;`

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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;

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.

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.

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.

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?`

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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;

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

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.

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!

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,

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.

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;`

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

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