Genesis 47

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	GREEK BIBLE
1 So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; they are now in the land of Goshen."	1 Ελθων δε ο Ιωσηφ, απηγγειλε προς τον Φαραω λεγων, Ο πατηρ μου και οι αδελφοι μου, και τα ποιμνια αυτων και αι αγελαι αυτων και παντα οσα εχουσιν, ηλθον εκ της γης Χανααν? και ιδου, ειναι εν τη γη Γεσεν.
2 And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them to Pharaoh.	2 Και παραλαβων εκ των αδελφων αυτου πεντε ανδρας, παρεστησεν αυτους ενωπιον του Φαραω.
3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, as our fathers were."	3 Και ειπεν ο Φαραω προς τους αδελφους αυτου, Τι ειναι το επιτηδευμα σας; οι δε ειπον προς τον Φαραω, Ποιμενες προβατων ειναι οι δουλοι σου και ημεις και οι πατερες ημων.
4 They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land; for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan; and now, we pray you, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."	4 Ειπον ετι προς τον Φαραω, Ηλθομεν δια να παροικησωμεν εν τη γη? διοτι δεν υπαρχει βοσκη δια τα ποιμνια των δουλων σου, επειδη επεβαρυνεν η πεινα εν τη γη Χανααν? τωρα λοιπον ας κατοικησωσι, παρακαλουμεν, οι δουλοι σου εν τη γη Γεσεν.
5 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.	5 Και ειπεν ο Φαραω προς τον Ιωσηφ λεγων, Ο πατηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου ηλθον προς σε?
6 The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen; and if you know any able men among them, put them in charge of my cattle."	6 η γη της Αιγυπτου ειναι εμπροσθεν σου? εις το καλητερον της γης κατοικισον τον πατερα σου και τους αδελφους σου? ας κατοικησωσιν εν τη γη Γεσεν? και εαν γνωριζης οτι ευρισκονται μεταξυ αυτων ανδρες αξιοι, καταστησον αυτους επιστατας επι των ποιμνιων μου.
7 Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.	7 Εισηγαγε δε ο Ιωσηφ Ιακωβ τον πατερα αυτου και παρεστησεν αυτον ενωπιον του Φαραω? και ευλογησεν ο Ιακωβ τον Φαραω.
8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"	8 Και ειπεν ο Φαραω προς τον Ιακωβ, Ως ποσαι ειναι αι ημεραι των ετων της ζωης σου;
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and 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 sojourning."	9 Και ο Ιακωβ ειπε προς τον Φαραω, Αι ημεραι των ετων της παροικιας μου ειναι εκατον τριακοντα ετη? ολιγαι και κακαι υπηρξαν αι ημεραι των ετων της ζωης μου και δεν εφθασαν εις τας ημερας των ετων της ζωης των πατερων μου εν ταις ημεραις της παροικιας αυτων.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.	10 Και ευλογησεν ο Ιακωβ τον Φαραω και εξηλθεν απ' εμπροσθεν του Φαραω.
11 Then Joseph settled 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.	11 Και κατωκισεν ο Ιωσηφ τον πατερα αυτου και τους αδελφους αυτου, και εδωκεν εις αυτους ιδιοκτησιαν εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, εις το καλητερον της γης, εν τη γη Ραμεσση, καθως προσεταξεν ο Φαραω.
12 And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father's household with food, according to the number of their dependents.	12 Και ετρεφεν ο Ιωσηφ τον πατερα αυτου και τους αδελφους αυτου και παντα τον οικον του πατρος αυτου με αρτον, κατα τας οικογενειας αυτων.
13 Now there was no food in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.	13 Και αρτος δεν ητο καθ' ολην την γην? διοτι η πεινα ητο βαρεια σφοδρα, ωστε η γη της Αιγυπτου και η γη της Χανααν απεκαμον υπο της πεινης.
14 And Joseph 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.	14 Και συνηγαγεν ο Ιωσηφ απαν το αργυριον, το ευρισκομενον εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου και εν τη γη Χανααν, δια τον σιτον τον οποιον ηγοραζον? και εφερεν ο Ιωσηφ το αργυριον εις τον οικον του Φαραω.
15 And when 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 food; why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone."	15 Και αφου εξελιπε το αργυριον εκ της γης Αιγυπτου και εκ της γης Χανααν, ηλθον παντες οι Αιγυπτιοι προς τον Ιωσηφ, λεγοντες, Δος αρτον εις ημας? επειδη δια τι να αποθανωμεν εμπροσθεν σου; διοτι εξελιπε το αργυριον.
16 And Joseph answered, "Give your cattle, and I will give you food in exchange for your cattle, if your money is gone."	16 Ειπε δε ο Ιωσηφ, Φερετε τα κτηνη σας και θελω σας δωσει αρτον αντι των κτηνων σας, εαν εξελιπε το αργυριον.
17 So they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the asses: and he supplied them with food in exchange for all their cattle that year.	17 Και εφεραν τα κτηνη αυτων προς τον Ιωσηφ και εδωκεν εις αυτους ο Ιωσηφ αρτον αντι των ιππων και αντι των προβατων και αντι των βοων και αντι των ονων? και εθρεψεν αυτους με αρτον εν τω ενιαυτω εκεινω αντι παντων των κτηνων αυτων.
18 And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lords; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.	18 Αφου δε ετελειωσεν ο ενιαυτος εκεινος, ηλθον προς αυτον το δευτερον ετος και ειπον προς αυτον, δεν θελομεν κρυψει απο του κυριου ημων οτι εξελιπε το αργυριον? και τα κτηνη εγειναν του κυριου ημων? δεν εμεινεν αλλο εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων, ειμη τα σωματα ημων και η γη ημων?
19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be slaves to Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."	19 δια τι να απολεσθωμεν ενωπιον σου και ημεις και η γη ημων; αγορασον ημας και την γην ημων δια αρτον? και θελομεν εισθαι ημεις και η γη ημων δουλοι εις τον Φαραω? και δος εις ημας σπορον, δια να ζησωμεν και να μη αποθανωμεν και η γη να μη ερημωθη.
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe upon them. The land became Pharaohs;	20 Και ηγορασεν ο Ιωσηφ πασαν την γην Αιγυπτου δια τον Φαραω? διοτι οι Αιγυπτιοι επωλησαν εκαστος τον αγρον αυτου, επειδη η πεινα υπερεβαρυνεν επ' αυτους? ουτως η γη εγεινε του Φαραω?
21 and as for the people, he made slaves of them from one end of Egypt to the other.	21 τον δε λαον μετετοπισεν αυτον εις πολεις, απ' ακρου των οριων της Αιγυπτου εως ακρου αυτης?
22 Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh, and lived on the allowance which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.	22 μονον την γην των ιερεων δεν ηγορασε? διοτι οι ιερεις ειχον μεριδιον προσδιωρισμενον υπο του Φαραω? και ετρωγον το μεριδιον αυτων, το οποιον εδωκεν εις αυτους ο Φαραω? δια τουτο δεν επωλησαν την γην αυτων.
23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.	23 Τοτε ειπεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τον λαον, Ιδου, ηγορασα εσας και την γην σας σημερον εις τον Φαραω? ιδου, λαβετε σπορον και σπειρατε την γην?
24 And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones."	24 και εν τω καιρω των γεννηματων, θελετε δωσει το πεμπτον εις τον Φαραω? τα δε τεσσαρα μερη θελουσιν εισθαι εις εσας δια σπορον των αγρων και δια τροφην σας και δια τους οντας εν τοις οικοις υμων και δια τροφην των παιδιων υμων.
25 And they said, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be slaves to Pharaoh."	25 Οι δε ειπον, συ εσωσας την ζωην ημων? ας ευρωμεν χαριν εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων και θελομεν εισθαι δουλοι του Φαραω.
26 So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaohs.	26 Και εθεσεν ο Ιωσηφ τουτο νομον εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου μεχρι της σημερον, να διδεται το πεμπτον εις τον Φαραω? εκτος της γης των ιερεων μονον, ητις δεν εγεινε του Φαραω.
27 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied exceedingly.	27 Κατωκησε δε ο Ισραηλ εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου, εν τη γη Γεσεν? και απεκτησαν εν αυτη κτηματα, και ηυξηνθησαν και επληθυνθησαν σφοδρα.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.	28 Επεζησε δε ο Ιακωβ εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου δεκαεπτα ετη? και εγειναν αι ημεραι των ετων της ζωης του Ιακωβ εκατον τεσσαρακοντα επτα ετη.
29 And when the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh, and promise to deal loyally and truly with me. Do not bury me in Egypt,	29 Και επλησιασαν αι ημεραι του Ισραηλ δια να αποθανη? και καλεσας τον υιον αυτου τον Ιωσηφ, ειπε προς αυτον, Εαν ευρηκα τωρα χαριν εμπροσθεν σου, βαλε, παρακαλω, την χειρα σου υπο τον μηρον μου, και καμε εις εμε ελεος και αληθειαν? μη με θαψης, παρακαλω, εν τη Αιγυπτω?
30 but let me lie with my fathers; carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place." He answered, "I will do as you have said."	30 αλλα θελω κοιμηθη μετα των πατερων μου και θελεις με μετακομισει εκ της Αιγυπτου και θελεις με θαψει εν τω ταφω αυτων. Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω θελω καμει κατα τον λογον σου.
31 And he said, "Swear to me"; and he swore to him. Then Israel bowed himself upon the head of his bed.	31 Ο δε ειπεν, Ομοσον μοι και ωμοσεν εις αυτον. Και προσεκυνησεν ο Ισραηλ επι το ακρον της ραβδου αυτου.
