1Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
1Kemudian Yusuf membawa lima orang dari saudara-saudaranya lalu menghadap raja. Katanya, "Ayah dan saudara-saudara hamba telah datang dari Kanaan dengan kawanan kambing domba, sapi dan segala milik mereka. Sekarang mereka ada di daerah Gosyen." Lalu diperkenalkannya saudara-saudaranya itu kepada raja.
2From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
2(47:1)
3Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”
3Raja bertanya kepada mereka, "Apa pekerjaanmu?" Mereka menjawab, "Kami ini gembala seperti leluhur kami.
4They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
4Kami datang untuk tinggal di negeri ini, karena di tanah Kanaan kelaparan sangat hebatnya, sehingga tidak ada rumput lagi untuk kawanan kambing domba kami. Izinkanlah kami tinggal di daerah Gosyen."
5Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
5Lalu berkatalah raja kepada Yusuf, "Sekarang ayah dan saudara-saudaramu sudah ada di sini.
6The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock.”
6Anggaplah negeri Mesir sebagai negerimu sendiri. Biarlah mereka menetap di daerah Gosyen, daerah yang paling baik di negeri ini. Dan tugaskanlah kepada orang yang cakap bekerja untuk mengurus ternakku."
7Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
7Yusuf juga memperkenalkan ayahnya kepada raja. Yakub memberkati raja,
8Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”
8dan raja bertanya kepadanya, "Berapa umur Bapak?"
9Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.”
9Jawab Yakub, "Hamba sudah hidup seratus tiga puluh tahun sebagai pengembara. Hidup hamba itu penuh kesukaran dan pendek apabila dibandingkan dengan umur leluhur hamba sebagai pengembara."
10Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
10Setelah itu Yakub minta diri dan memberi berkat perpisahan.
11Joseph placed his father and his brothers, 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.
11Yusuf membantu ayah dan saudara-saudaranya menetap di Mesir. Diberikannya kepada mereka tanah sebagai hak milik di bagian yang paling baik di negeri itu, di dekat kota Rameses, sesuai dengan perintah raja.
12Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
12Dan Yusuf melengkapi persediaan makanan bagi ayahnya, saudara-saudaranya, dan seluruh sanak saudaranya, sampai kepada yang paling muda.
13There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
13Kelaparan itu begitu hebat, sehingga di mana-mana tidak ada makanan lagi. Rakyat Mesir dan rakyat Kanaan lemah dan tidak berdaya karena lapar.
14Joseph 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.
14Setiap kali mereka membeli gandum, Yusuf mengumpulkan uang pembayar gandum itu, lalu disimpannya di istana raja.
15When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails.”
15Setelah habis uang di Mesir dan di Kanaan, orang-orang Mesir datang kepada Yusuf dan berkata, "Berilah kami makanan! Jangan biarkan kami mati. Uang kami sudah habis."
16Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”
16Yusuf menjawab, "Jika uangmu sudah habis, berilah ternakmu; aku akan memberi makanan kepadamu."
17They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.
17Lalu mereka memberikan ternaknya kepada Yusuf, dan ia memberi makanan kepada mereka sebagai ganti kuda, domba, kambing, sapi dan keledai mereka. Pada tahun itu Yusuf memberi makanan kepada mereka dan mereka membayar dengan ternak.
18When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.
18Pada tahun berikutnya mereka datang lagi kepadanya dan berkata, "Kami berterus terang kepada Tuan bahwa uang kami sudah habis dan ternak kami sudah menjadi milik Tuan. Kami tidak punya apa-apa lagi yang dapat kami berikan kepada Tuan, selain diri kami sendiri dan tanah kami.
19Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won’t be desolate.”
19Jangan biarkan kami mati! Jangan biarkan ladang-ladang kami menjadi tandus. Belilah kami dan tanah kami dengan gandum sebagai pembayarannya. Kami dan tanah kami akan menjadi milik raja. Berilah kami gandum untuk menyambung hidup kami dan juga benih untuk ditabur di ladang kami!"
20So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh’s.
20Lalu Yusuf membeli semua tanah di mesir untuk raja. Setiap orang Mesir terpaksa menjual tanahnya, karena masa kelaparan itu sangat dahsyat; lalu semua tanah di Mesir menjadi milik raja.
21As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.
21Seluruh rakyat Mesir dijadikan hamba oleh Yusuf.
22Only he didn’t buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn’t sell their land.
22Satu-satunya tanah yang tidak dibelinya ialah tanah para imam. Mereka tidak perlu menjual tanah mereka karena diberi tunjangan tetap oleh raja untuk keperluan hidup mereka.
23Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
23Yusuf berkata kepada rakyat itu, "Lihatlah, kamu dan tanahmu sudah kubeli untuk raja. Inilah benih yang dapat kamu tabur di ladangmu.
24It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.”
24Pada waktu panen, kamu harus memberikan seperlima bagian hasilnya kepada raja. Selebihnya boleh kamu pakai untuk benih dan untuk makanan bagimu dan bagi keluargamu."
25They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”
25Jawab mereka, "Tuan telah menyelamatkan kami dan kami berterima kasih. Kami rela menjadi hamba raja."
26Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn’t become Pharaoh’s.
26Kemudian Yusuf menjadikan hal itu undang-undang di negeri Mesir, yaitu bahwa seperlima dari hasil panen harus menjadi milik raja. Sampai sekarang undang-undang itu masih berlaku. Hanya tanah imam-imamlah yang tidak menjadi milik raja.
27Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
27Demikianlah orang-orang Israel menetap di Mesir, di daerah Gosyen. Mereka menjadi kaya dan beranak cucu banyak di situ.
28Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.
28Yakub masih hidup tujuh belas tahun di Mesir sampai umurnya menjadi seratus empat puluh tujuh tahun.
29The time drew near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don’t bury me in Egypt,
29Ketika sudah dekat saatnya akan meninggal, dipanggilnya Yusuf, anaknya itu, lalu berkata kepadanya, "Letakkanlah tanganmu di antara pangkal pahaku dan bersumpah bahwa engkau tidak akan menguburkan aku di Mesir ini.
30but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place.” He said, “I will do as you have said.”
30Aku mau dikuburkan di tempat para leluhurku; bawalah mayatku dari negeri ini dan kuburkan dalam makam mereka." Lalu jawab Yusuf, "Saya akan melakukan apa yang Ayah katakan itu."
31He said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.
31Kata Yakub, "Bersumpahlah bahwa engkau akan melakukannya." Yusuf bersumpah, dan Yakub mengucapkan syukur di tempat tidurnya.
