New King James Version
Joseph Deals with the Famine
13 Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, (A)so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 (B)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.
15 So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us bread, for (C)why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed.”

饥荒
13 那时,遍地都没有粮食,因为饥荒非常严重。埃及地和迦南地的人,因为饥荒的缘故都饿昏了。 14 约瑟收集了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子,就是众人买粮的银子;约瑟就把那些银子交到法老的王宫去。 15 埃及地和迦南地的银子都用尽了,埃及众人就来到约瑟那里,说:“银子已用完了。求你给我们粮食吧,我们为甚么要饿死在你面前呢?”

Genesis 47:13-15
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
13 [In the course of time] there was no food in all the land, for the famine was distressingly severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan hung in doubt and wavered by reason of the hunger (destitution, starvation) of the famine.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan [in payment] for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
15 And when the money was exhausted 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 very eyes? For we have no money left.
