창세기 47

1요셉이 바로에게 가서 고하여 가로되 나의 아비와 형들과 그들의 양과 소와 모든 소유가 가나안 땅에서 와서 고센 땅에 있나이다 하고 2형들 중 오인을 택하여 바로에게 보이니 3바로가 요셉의 형들에게 묻되 너희 생업이 무엇이냐 그들이 바로에게 대답하되 종들은 목자이온데 우리와 선조가 다 그러하니이다 하고 4그들이 또 바로에게 고하되 가나안 땅에 기근이 심하여 종들의 떼를 칠 곳이 없기로 종들이 이곳에 우거하러 왔사오니 청컨대 종들로 고센 땅에 거하게 하소서 5바로가 요셉에게 일러 가로되 네 아비와 형들이 네게 왔은즉 6애굽 땅이 네 앞에 있으니 땅의 좋은 곳에 네 아비와 형들로 거하게 하되 고센 땅에 그들로 거하게 하고 그들 중에 능한 자가 있는줄 알거든 그들로 나의 짐승을 주관하게 하라 7요셉이 자기 아비 야곱을 인도하여 바로 앞에 서게 하니 야곱이 바로에게 축복하매 8바로가 야곱에게 묻되 네 연세가 얼마뇨 9야곱이 바로에게 고하되 내 나그네 길의 세월이 일백삼십 년이니이다 나의 연세가 얼마 못되니 우리 조상의 나그네 길의 세월에 미치지 못하나 험악한 세월을 보내었나이다 하고 10야곱이 바로에게 축복하고 그 앞에서 나오니라 11요셉이 바로의 명대로 그 아비와 형들에게 거할 곳을 주되 애굽의 좋은 땅 라암세스를 그들에게 주어 기업을 삼게 하고 12또 그 아비와 형들과 아비의 온 집에 그 식구를 따라 식물을 주어 공궤하였더라 13기근이 더욱 심하여 사방에 식물이 없고 애굽 땅과 가나안 땅이 기근으로 쇠약하니 14요셉이 곡식을 팔아 애굽 땅과 가나안 땅에 있는 돈을 몰수이 거두고 그 돈을 바로의 궁으로 가져오니 15애굽 땅과 가나안 땅에 돈이 진한지라 애굽 백성이 다 요셉에게 와서 가로되 돈이 진하였사오니 우리에게 식물을 주소서 어찌 주 앞에서 죽으리이까 16요셉이 가로되 너희의 짐승을 내라 돈이 진하였은즉 내가 너희의 짐승과 바꾸어 주리라 17그들이 그 짐승을 요셉에게 끌어 오는지라 요셉이 그 말과 양떼와 소떼와 나귀를 받고 그들에게 식물을 주되 곧 그 모든 짐승과 바꾸어서 그 해 동안에 식물로 그들을 기르니라 18그 해가 다하고 새 해가 되매 무리가 요셉에게 와서 그에게 고하되 우리가 주께 숨기지 아니하나이다 우리의 돈이 다하였고 우리의 짐승 떼가 주께로 돌아갔사오니 주께 낼 것이 아무 것도 남지 아니하고 우리의 몸과 전지뿐이라 19우리가 어찌 우리의 전지와 함께 주의 목전에 죽으리이까 우리 몸과 우리 토지를 식물로 사소서 우리가 토지와 함께 바로의 종이 되리니 우리에게 종자를 주시면 우리가 살고 죽지 아니하고 전지도 황폐치 아니하리이다 20그러므로 요셉이 애굽 전지를 다 사서 바로에게 드리니 애굽 사람이 기근에 몰려서 각기 전지를 팖이라 땅이 바로의 소유가 되니라 21요셉이 애굽 이 끝에서 저 끝까지의 백성을 성읍들에 옮겼으나 22제사장의 전지는 사지 아니하였으니 제사장은 바로에게서 녹을 받음이라 바로의 주는 녹을 먹으므로 그 전지를 팔지 않음이었더라 23요셉이 백성에게 이르되 오늘날 내가 바로를 위하여 너희 몸과 너희 전지를 샀노라 여기 종자가 있으니 너희는 그 땅에 뿌리라 24추수의 오분 일을 바로에게 상납하고 사분은 너희가 취하여 전지의 종자도 삼고 너희의 양식도 삼고 너희 집 사람과 어린 아이의 양식도 삼으라 25그들이 가로되 주께서 우리를 살리셨사오니 우리가 주께 은혜를 입고 바로의 종이 되겠나이다 26요셉이 애굽 토지법을 세우매 그 오분 일이 바로에게 상납되나 제사장의 토지는 바로의 소유가 되지 아니하여 오늘까지 이르니라 27이스라엘 족속이 애굽 고센 땅에 거하며 거기서 산업을 얻고 생육하며 번성하였더라 28야곱이 애굽 땅에 십칠 년을 거하였으니 그의 수가 일백사십칠 세라 29이스라엘의 죽을 기한이 가까우매 그가 그 아들 요셉을 불러 그에게 이르되 이제 내가 네게 은혜를 입었거든 청하노니 네 손을 내 환도뼈 아래 넣어서 나를 인애와 성심으로 대접하여 애굽에 장사하지 않기를 맹세하고 30내가 조상들과 함께 눕거든 너는 나를 애굽에서 메어다가 선영에 장사하라 요셉이 가로되 내가 아버지의 말씀대로 행하리이다 31야곱이 또 가로되 내게 맹세하라 맹세하니 이스라엘이 침상 머리에서 경배하니라

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.” 2From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh. 3Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.” 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.” 5Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you. 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.” 7Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many are the days of the years of your life?” 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.” 10Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh. 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. 12Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all of his father’s household, with bread, according to their families. 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. 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. 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.” 16Joseph said, “Give me your livestock; and I will give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone.” 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. 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. 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.” 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.” 25They said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.” 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. 27Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly. 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. 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, 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.” 31He said, “Swear to me,” and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed’s head.

1Toen kwam Jozef en boodschapte Farao, en zeide: Mijn vader en mijn broeders, en hun schapen, en hun runderen, met alles wat zij hebben, zijn gekomen uit het land Kanaan, en zie, zij zijn in het land Gosen. 2En hij nam een deel zijner broederen, te weten vijf mannen, en hij stelde hen voor Farao's aangezicht. 3Toen zeide Farao tot zijn broederen: Wat is uw hantering? En zij zeiden tot Farao: Uw knechten zijn schaapherders, zo wij als onze vaders. 4Voorts zeiden zij tot Farao: Wij zijn gekomen, om als vreemdelingen in dit land te wonen; want er is geen weide voor de schapen, die uw knechten hebben, dewijl de honger zwaar is in het land Kanaan; en nu, laat toch uw knechten in het land Gosen wonen! 5Toen sprak Farao tot Jozef, zeggende: Uw vader en uw broeders zijn tot u gekomen; 6Egypteland is voor uw aangezicht; doe uw vader en uw broeders in het beste van het land wonen; laat hen in het land Gosen wonen, en zo gij weet, dat er onder hen kloeke mannen zijn, zo zet hen tot veemeesters over hetgeen ik heb. 7En Jozef bracht zijn vader Jakob mede, en stelde hem voor Farao's aangezicht; en Jakob zegende Farao. 8En Farao zeide tot Jakob: Hoe vele zijn de dagen der jaren uws levens! 9En Jakob zeide tot Farao: De dagen der jaren mijner vreemdelingschappen zijn honderd en dertig jaren; weinig en kwaad zijn de dagen der jaren mijns levens geweest, en hebben niet bereikt de dagen van de jaren des levens mijner vaderen, in de dagen hunner vreemdelingschappen. 10En Jakob zegende Farao, en ging uit van Farao's aangezicht. 11En Jozef bestelde voor Jakob en zijn broederen woningen, en hij gaf hun een bezitting in Egypteland, in het beste van het land, in het land Rameses, gelijk als Farao geboden had. 12En Jozef onderhield zijn vader, en zijn broeders, en het ganse huis zijns vaders, met brood, tot den mond der kinderkens toe. 13En er was geen brood in het ganse land; want de honger was zeer zwaar: zodat het land van Egypte en het land Kanaan raasden vanwege dien honger. 14Toen verzamelde Jozef al het geld, dat in Egypteland en in het land Kanaan gevonden werd, voor het koren, dat zij kochten; en Jozef bracht dat geld in Farao's huis. 15Als nu het geld uit Egypteland en uit het land Kanaan verdaan was, kwamen al de Egyptenaars tot Jozef, zeggende: Geef ons brood; want waarom zouden wij in uw tegenwoordigheid sterven? want het geld ontbreekt; 16En Jozef zeide: Geeft uw vee, zo zal ik het u geven voor uw vee, indien het geld ontbreekt. 17Toen brachten zij hun vee tot Jozef; en Jozef gaf hun brood voor paarden en voor het vee der schapen, en voor het vee der runderen, en voor ezels; en hij voedde hen met brood, datzelve jaar, voor al hun vee. 18Toen datzelve jaar voleind was, zo kwamen zij tot hem in het tweede jaar, en zeiden tot hem: Wij zullen het voor mijn heer niet verbergen, alzo het geld verdaan is, en de bezitting der beesten gekomen aan mijn heer, zo is er niets anders overgebleven voor het aangezichts mijns heren, dan ons lichaam en ons land. 19Waarom zullen wij voor uw ogen sterven, zo wij als ons land? Koop ons en ons land voor brood; zo zullen wij en ons land Farao dienstbaar zijn; en geef zaad, opdat wij leven en niet sterven, en het land niet woest worde! 20Alzo kocht Jozef het gehele land van Egypte voor Farao; want de Egyptenaars verkochten een ieder zijn akker, dewijl de honger sterk over hen geworden was; zo werd het land Farao's eigen. 21En aangaande het volk, dat zette hij over in de steden, van het ene uiterste der palen van Egypte, tot aan het andere uiterste deszelven. 22Alleen het land der priesteren kocht hij niet, want de priesters hadden een bescheiden deel van Farao, en zij aten hun bescheiden deel, hetwelk hun Farao gegeven had; daarom verkochten zij hun land niet. 23Toen zeide Jozef tot het volk: Ziet, ik heb heden u en uw land gekocht voor Farao; ziet, daar is zaad voor u, opdat gij het land bezaait. 24Doch met de inkomsten zal het geschieden, dat gij aan Farao het vijfde deel zult geven, en de vier delen zullen voor u zijn, tot zaad des velds, en tot uw spijze en van degenen, die in uw huizen zijn, en om te eten voor uw kinderkens. 25En zij zeiden: Gij hebt ons leven behouden; laat ons genade vinden in de ogen mijns heren, en wij zullen Farao's knechten zijn. 26Jozef dan stelde ditzelve in tot een wet, tot dezen dag, over het land van Egypte, dat Farao het vijfde deel zou hebben; behalve dat alleen het land der priesteren van Farao niet werd. 27Zo woonde Israel in het land van Egypte, in het land Gosen; en zij stelden zich tot bezitters daarin, en zij werden vruchtbaar en vermeerderden zeer. 28En Jakob leefde in het land van Egypte zeventien jaar; zodat de dagen van Jakob, de jaren zijns levens, geweest zijn honderd zeven en veertig jaren. 29Als nu de dagen van Israel naderden, dat hij sterven zou, zo riep hij zijn zoon Jozef, en zeide tot hem: Indien ik nu genade gevonden heb in uw ogen, zo leg toch uw hand onder mijn heup, en doe weldadigheid en trouw aan mij, en begraaf mij toch niet in Egypte; 30Maar dat ik bij mijn vaderen ligge; hierom zult gij mij uit Egypte voeren, en mij in hun graf begraven. En hij zeide: Ik zal doen naar uw woord! 31En hij zeide: Zweer mij! en hij zwoer hem. En Israel boog zich ten hoofde van het bed.
