Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
1ΕΛΘΩΝ δὲ Ἰωσὴφ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Φαραὼ λέγων· ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ οἱ βόες αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἦλθον ἐκ γῆς Χαναὰν καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ.
2And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
2ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ παρέλαβε πέντε ἄνδρας καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον Φαραώ.
3And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
3καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς Ἰωσήφ· τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν τῷ Φαραώ· ποιμένες προβάτων οἱ παῖδές σου, καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν.
4They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
4εἶπαν δὲ τῷ Φαραώ· παροικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἥκαμεν· οὐ γάρ ἐστι νομὴ τοῖς κτήνεσι τῶν παίδων σου, ἐνίσχυσε γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν γῇ Χαναάν· νῦν οὖν κατοικήσωμεν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ.
5And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
5εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰωσήφ· κατοικείτωσαν ἐν γῇ Γεσέμ· εἰ δὲ ἐπίστῃ ὅτι εἰσὶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄνδρες δυνατοί, κατάστησον αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἐμῶν κτηνῶν. Ἦλθον δὲ εἰς Αἴγυπτον πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ Ἰακὼβ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤκουσε Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου.
6The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
6καὶ εἶπε Φαραὼ πρὸς Ἰωσὴφ λέγων· ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ἥκασι πρὸς σέ· ἰδοὺ ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου ἐναντίον σου ἐστίν· ἐν τῇ βελτίστῃ γῇ κατοίκισον τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου.
7And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
7εἰσήγαγε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ Ἰακὼβ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐναντίον Φαραώ, καὶ ηὐλόγησεν Ἰακὼβ τὸν Φαραώ.
8And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
8εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ τῷ Ἰακώβ· πόσα ἔτη ἡμερῶν τῆς ζωῆς σου;
9And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
9καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ τῷ Φαραώ· αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν ἐτῶν τῆς ζωῆς μου, ἃς παροικῶ, ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἔτη· μικραὶ καὶ πονηραὶ γεγόνασιν αἱ ἡμέραι τῶν ἐτῶν τῆς ζωῆς μου, οὐκ ἀφίκοντο εἰς τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν ἐτῶν τῆς ζωῆς τῶν πατέρων μου, ἃς ἡμέρας παρῴκησαν.
10And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
10καὶ εὐλογήσας Ἰακὼβ τὸν Φαραὼ ἐξῆλθεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
11¶ And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, 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.
11καὶ κατῴκισεν Ἰωσὴφ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς κατάσχεσιν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν τῇ βελτίστῃ γῇ, ἐν γῇ Ραμεσσῆ, καθὰ προσέταξε Φαραώ.
12And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
12καὶ ἐσιτομέτρει Ἰωσὴφ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ σῖτον κατὰ σῶμα.
13¶ And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
13Σῖτος δὲ οὐκ ἦν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· ἐνίσχυσε γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς σφόδρα. ἐξέλιπε δὲ ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἡ γῆ Χαναὰν ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ.
14And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
14συνήγαγε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐν γῇ Χαναὰν τοῦ σίτου, οὗ ἠγόραζον, καὶ ἐσιτομέτρει αὐτοῖς, καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν Ἰωσὴφ πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον εἰς τὸν οἶκον Φαραώ.
15And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
15καὶ ἐξέλιπε πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ γῆς Χαναάν. ἦλθον δὲ πάντες οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι πρὸς Ἰωσήφ, λέγοντες· δὸς ἡμῖν ἄρτους, καὶ ἱνατί ἀποθνήσκομεν ἐναντίον σου; ἐκλέλοιπε γὰρ τὸ ἀργύριον ἡμῶν.
16And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
16εἶπε δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἰωσήφ· φέρετε τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν ἄρτους ἀντὶ τῶν κτηνῶν ὑμῶν, εἰ ἐκλέλοιπε τὸ ἀργύριον ὑμῶν.
17And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
17ἤγαγον δὲ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν πρὸς Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωσὴφ ἄρτους ἀντὶ τῶν ἵππων καὶ ἀντὶ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀντὶ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀντὶ τῶν ὄνων καὶ ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἄρτοις ἀντὶ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ.
18When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
18ἐξῆλθε δὲ τὸ ἔτος ἐκεῖνο, καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· μή ποτε ἐκτριβῶμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν; εἰ γὰρ ἐκλέλοιπε τὸ ἀργύριον ἡμῶν καὶ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ τὰ κτήνη πρὸς σὲ τὸν κύριον, καὶ οὐχ ὑπολέλειπται ἡμῖν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡμῶν.
19Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
19ἵνα οὖν μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐρημωθῇ, κτῆσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὴν γῆν ἡμῶν ἀντὶ ἄρτων, καὶ ἐσόμεθα ἡμεῖς καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡμῶν παῖδες τῷ Φαραώ· δὸς σπέρμα, ἵνα σπείρωμεν καὶ ζῶμεν καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν καὶ ἡ γῆ οὐκ ἐρημωθήσεται.
20And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s.
20καὶ ἐκτήσατο Ἰωσὴφ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν τῶν Αἰγυπτίων τῷ Φαραώ· ἀπέδοντο γὰρ οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν τῷ Φαραώ, ἐπεκράτησε γὰρ αὐτῶν ὁ λιμός· καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ γῇ τῷ Φαραώ,
21And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
21καὶ τὸν λαὸν κατεδουλώσατο αὐτῷ εἰς παῖδας ἀπ᾿ ἄκρων ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου ἕως τῶν ἄκρων,
22Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
22χωρὶς τῆς γῆς τῶν ἱερέων μόνον· οὐκ ἐκτήσατο ταύτην Ἰωσήφ, ἐν δόσει γὰρ ἔδωκε δόμα τοῖς ἱερεῦσι Φαραώ, καὶ ἤσθιον τὴν δόσιν, ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Φαραώ· διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀπέδοντο τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν.
23Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
23εἶπε δὲ Ἰωσὴφ πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις· ἰδοὺ κέκτημαι ὑμᾶς καὶ τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν σήμερον τῷ Φαραώ· λάβετε ἑαυτοῖς σπέρμα καὶ σπείρατε τὴν γῆν,
24And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
24καὶ ἔσται τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς καὶ δώσετε τὸ πέμπτον μέρος τῷ Φαραώ, τὰ δὲ τέσσαρα μέρη ἔσται ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς εἰς σπέρμα τῇ γῇ καὶ εἰς βρῶσιν ὑμῖν καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις ὑμῶν.
25And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
25καὶ εἶπαν· σέσωκας ἡμᾶς, εὕρομεν χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ ἐσόμεθα παῖδες τῷ Φαραώ.
26And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh’s.
26καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοῖς Ἰωσὴφ εἰς πρόσταγμα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, ἐπὶ γῆς Αἰγύπτου τῷ Φαραὼ ἀποπεμπτοῦν, χωρὶς τῆς γῆς τῶν ἱερέων μόνον· οὐκ ἦν τῷ Φαραώ.
27¶ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
27Κατῴκησε δὲ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ ἐπὶ γῆς Γεσὲμ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ ηὐξήθησαν καὶ ἐπληθύνθησαν σφόδρα.
28And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
28ἐπέζησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ δεκαεπτὰ ἔτη· καὶ ἐγένοντο αἱ ἡμέραι Ἰακὼβ ἐνιαυτῶν τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν τεσσαρακονταεπτὰ ἔτη.
29And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
29ἤγγισαν δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εἰ εὕρηκα χάριν ἐναντίον σου, ὑπόθες τὴν χεῖρά σου ὑπὸ τὸν μηρόν μου καὶ ποιήσεις ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ ἀλήθειαν τοῦ μή με θάψαι ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ,
30But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
30ἀλλὰ κοιμηθήσομαι μετὰ τῶν πατέρων μου, καὶ ἀρεῖς με ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ θάψεις με ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτῶν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ ποιήσω κατὰ τὸ ρῆμά σου.
31And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head.
31εἶπε δέ· ὄμοσόν μοι. καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ. καὶ προσεκύνησεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς ράβδου αὐτοῦ.
