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.”

¹Potom prišiel Jozef a oznámil faraonovi a riekol: Môj otec i moji bratia prišli so svojím drobným stádom a so svojím hovädzím dobytkom i so všetkým, čo majú, z Kananejskej zeme, a hľa, sú v zemi Gózena.

²From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.

²A pojal niekoľkých svojich bratov, piatich mužov, a postavil ich pred faraonom.

³Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.”

³A faraon povedal jeho bratom: Čo je vaše zamestnanie? A oni riekli faraonovi: Tvoji služobníci sú pastieri stáda; to sme my a to boli aj naši otcovia.

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.”

⁴A ešte riekli faraonovi: Prišli sme pohostíniť tu v zemi, lebo niet paše pre stádo, ktoré majú tvoji služobníci, lebo je veľký hlad v Kananejskej zemi, a tak teraz nech bývajú, prosíme, tvoji služobníci v zemi Gózena.

⁵Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.

⁵A faraon povedal Jozefovi a riekol: Tvoj otec a tvoji bratia prišli k tebe.

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.”

⁶Egyptská zem je pred tebou. Osaď svojho otca a svojich bratov v najlepšom kraji zeme. Nech bývajú v zemi Gózena. A jestli znáš, že sú medzi nimi súci mužovia chrabrí, ustanovíš ich za správcov nad dobytkom, ktorý mám ja.

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

⁷Potom voviedol Jozef Jakoba, svojho otca, a postavil ho pred faraonom. A Jakob požehnal faraona.

⁸Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?”

⁸A faraon povedal Jakobovi: Koľko je dní rokov tvojho života?

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.”

⁹A Jakob odpovedal faraonovi: Dní rokov môjho putovania je sto tridsať rokov. Málo ich bolo, a zlé boly dni rokov môjho života a nedosiahly počtu dní rokov života mojich otcov za dní ich putovania.

¹⁰Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

¹⁰A Jakob požehnal faraona a vyšiel zpred tvári faraonovej.

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.

¹¹A Jozef osadil svojho otca a svojich bratov a dal im vlastníctvo v Egyptskej zemi, v najlepšom kraji zeme, v zemi Ramsesa, jako to rozkázal faraon.

¹²Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.

¹²A Jozef zaopatroval svojho otca a svojich bratov a celý dom svojho otca chlebom podľa počtu drobných detí.

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.

¹³A nebolo chleba v celej zemi, pretože bol hlad veľmi veliký. A Egyptská zem i Kananejská zem bola celá vypráhla od hladu.

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.

¹⁴A Jozef sobral všetky peniaze, ktoré sa našly v Egyptskej zemi a v Kananejskej zemi, za obilie, ktoré kupovali, a Jozef vniesol peniaze do domu faraonovho.

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.”

¹⁵A keď už nebolo viacej peňazí v Egyptskej zemi ani v Kananejskej zemi, prichádzali všetci Egypťania k Jozefovi a vraveli: Daj nám chleba; lebo prečo máme zomrieť pred tebou, keď už nieto peňazí?

¹⁶Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.”

¹⁶A Jozef riekol: Dajte svoj dobytok, a dám vám za váš dobytok, ak už nieto peňazí.

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.

¹⁷Vtedy doviedli svoj dobytok k Jozefovi. A Jozef im dal chleba za kone, za drobné stádo, za hovädzí statok a za oslov. A zaopatroval ich ten rok chlebom za všetok ich dobytok.

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.

¹⁸A keď sa pominul ten rok, prišli k nemu druhého roku a povedali mu: Nebudeme tajiť pred svojím pánom, že sa minuly všetky peniaze, a hovädzí dobytok je u nášho pána. Nezostalo nám pred naším pánom ničoho krome nášho tela a našej zeme.

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.”

¹⁹Prečo máme pomrieť pred tvojimi očima i my i naša zem? Kúp nás i našu zem za chlieb, a budeme i my i naša zem služobníkmi faraonovi, a daj nám semä, aby sme žili a nepomreli, a nespustne zem.

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.

²⁰A tak kúpil Jozef všetku zem egyptskú faraonovi. Lebo Egypťania predali každý svoje pole, pretože silne doliehal na nich hlad, a zem sa dostala faraonovi.

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.

²¹A čo do ľudu, previedol ho do miest od jedného konca hranice Egypta po druhý.

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.

²²Len zeme kňazov nekúpil, lebo kňazi mali ustanovenú čiastku od faraona a jedli svoju ustanovenú čiastku, ktorú im dával faraon; preto nepredali svojej zeme.

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.

²³A Jozef riekol ľudu: Hľa, kúpil som vás dnes i vašu zem faraonovi. Tu máte semeno a budete osievať zem.

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.”

²⁴A keď bude bývať úroda, dáte pätinu faraonovi, štyri čiastky budú vám na osievanie poľa a na pokrm vám i tomu, čo bude vo vašich domoch, a na pokrm vašim deťom.

²⁵They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.”

²⁵A povedali: Zachoval si nás pri živote. Nech najdeme milosť v očiach svojho pána a budeme služobníkmi faraonovi.

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.

²⁶A Jozef to učinil zákonom až do dnešného dňa na Egyptskej zemi, aby sa dával faraonovi piaty diel; iba zem samých kňazov nestala sa faraonovou.

²⁷Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

²⁷A tak býval Izrael v Egyptskej zemi, v zemi Gózena, a vlastnili v nej a plodili sa a množili sa veľmi.

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.

²⁸A Jakob žil v Egyptskej zemi sedemnásť rokov. A Jakobových dní, rokov jeho života, bolo sto štyridsať sedem rokov.

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,

²⁹A priblížily sa dni Izraelove, aby zomrel. Vtedy zavolal svojho syna Jozefa a riekol mu: Ak som našiel milosť v tvojich očiach, polož, prosím, svoju ruku pod moje bedro a učiníš pri mne milosrdenstvo a pravdu. Nepochovaj ma, prosím, v Egypte.

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.”

³⁰Ale budem ležať so svojimi otcami, a vynesieš ma z Egypta a pochováš ma v ich pohrabišti. A riekol: Ja učiním podľa tvojho slova.

³¹He said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.

³¹Vtedy povedal: Prisahaj mi! A prisahal mu. A Izrael sa poklonil na hlavu svojej palice.
