Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried out, Cause every man to go out from me. And no man stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Afei, na Yosef yɛ ne ho biribiara a, ɛnyɛ yie wɔ nʼasomfoɔ no nyinaa anim. Enti, ɔteaam kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ no sɛ, “Obiara mfiri ha nkɔ.” Enti, ɛberɛ a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no, na asomfoɔ no mu biara nni hɔ.
2 And he wept aloud, and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Ɔsuu dendeenden maa Misraimfoɔ no teeɛ. Ɛyɛɛ saa ma ɛduruu Farao fiefoɔ asom.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph, does my father yet live? And his brothers could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.
Afei, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarimanom no sɛ, “Mene Yosef! Mʼagya te ase anaa?” Asɛm no yɛɛ wɔn nwanwa yie ma ɛtɔree wɔn mumu wɔ nʼanim.
4 And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near, and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarimanom no sɛ, “Montwe mmɛn me.” Wɔtwe bɛn no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mene mo nuabarima Yosef. Me na motɔnee me maa wɔde me kɔɔ Misraim no.
5 And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Mommma biribiara nha mo. Na monnkasakasa so sɛ motɔnee me maa wɔde mebaa ha. Onyankopɔn na ɔyɛeɛ. Ɔno na ɔsomaa me, dii mo anim baa ha sɛ memmɛgye mo nkwa.
6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest.
Mfeɛ mmienu ni a ɛkɔm baa asase yi so. Mfeɛ enum a ɛreba yi nso, obiara rennua, na obiara nso rentwa.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
Onyankopɔn asoma me ha sɛ, memma mo ne mo fiefoɔ ntena nkwa mu, na moayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.
8 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
“Enti, ɛnyɛ mo na mode mebaa ha, na ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ankasa! Wayɛ me Farao fotufoɔ ne ne fie sohwɛfoɔ, ɛnna ɔde Misraiman nyinaa nso ahyɛ me nsa.
9 Hasten ye, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, delay not.
Afei, monka mo ho nkɔ mʼagya nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ wo babarima Yosef seɛ ni, Onyankopɔn ayɛ me Misraiman nyinaa sohwɛfoɔ. Enti, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase koraa, na bra Misraim!
10 And thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shall be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou have.
Wobɛba abɛtena Gosen asase so, na woabɛn me. Fa wo mma, wo nananom, wo nnwan ne wʼanantwie ne biribiara a wowɔ bra.
11 And there will I nourish thee, for there are yet five years of famine, lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou have.
Sɛ woba hɔ a, mɛhwɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ saa ɛkɔm kɛseɛ yi aka mfeɛ enum. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, wo ne wo fiefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔka wo ho nyinaa bɛdi hia buruburoo.’
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
“Mo ne me nua Benyamin nyinaa di adanseɛ sɛ, ampa ara, ɛyɛ me Yosef na me ne morekasa yi.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen. And ye shall hasten and bring down my father here.
Monka animuonyam a Onyame adom enti, wɔahyɛ me wɔ Misraim asase so ne biribiara a mo ankasa mode mo ani abɛhunu no nyinaa ho asɛm nkyerɛ mʼagya. Monkɔfa mʼagya nsiane mmrɛ me ntɛm so.”
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Ɔyɛɛ Benyamin atuu, suiɛ, a anigyeɛ ne awerɛhoɔ adi afra. Benyamin nso firii aseɛ suiɛ.
15 And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them. And after that his brothers talked with him.
Ɔfefee ne nuanom no nyinaa ano suiɛ, na ɛno akyiri no, wɔtumi ne no kasaeɛ.
16 And the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers have come. And it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Ɛberɛ a wɔtee wɔ Farao fie sɛ Yosef nuanom no aba no, Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa ani gyeeɛ.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brothers, This do ye: Load your beasts, and go, get you to the land of Canaan,
Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wo nuanom no se, wɔmfa nneɛma nsoasoa wɔn mmoa no, na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so,
18 and take your father and your households, and come to me. And I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
na wɔnkɔfa wɔn agya ne wɔn abusuafoɔ nyinaa mmra Misraim asase so ha mmɛtena ha. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Farao bɛma mo Misraim asase no fa a ɛyɛ pa ara atena so. Wɔbɛdi asase no so nnepa!’
19 Now thou are commanded, this do ye: Take wagons for you out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
“Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa nteaseɛnam mfiri Misraim ha nkɔfa mo yerenom ne mo mma. Momfa mo agya nso nka ho mmra.
20 Also do not regard your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Monnha mo ho wɔ mo agyapadeɛ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, mede nnepa a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa no bi bɛma mo.’”
21 And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Enti, Yosef maa wɔn nteaseɛnam ne nnuane a wɔbɛdi wɔ ɛkwan so, sɛdeɛ Farao hyɛeɛ no.
22 He gave to all of them, each man, changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Ɔmaa ne nuanom no mu biara atadeɛ foforɔ, nanso Benyamin deɛ, ɔmaa no ntadeɛ ahodoɔ enum ne dwetɛ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne fa.
23 And he sent to his father according to this manner: ten donkeys laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
Saa nneɛma a ɛdidi so yi nso na Yosef de kɔmaa nʼagya Israel: mfunumunini edu a wɔahyehyɛ Misraim nneɛma pa wɔ wɔn so, mfunumubereɛ edu a wɔsoso aburoo, burodo ne nnuane ahodoɔ ne nʼakwansoduane.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. And he said to them, See that ye not fall out by the way.
Ɔgyaa ne nuanom no kwan, na akwannya no mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnkɔkasakasa wɔ ɛkwan so.”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
Enti, wɔfirii Misraiman mu kɔɔ wɔn agya Israel nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
Wɔduruiɛ no, wɔde anigyeɛ bɔɔ wɔn agya amaneɛ sɛ, “Yosef te ase! Nokwasɛm nie, ɔno na ɔdi Misraiman nyinaa so!” Israel tee saa asɛm yi no, ne ho dwirii no. Wannye anni.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. And when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Na ɛberɛ a wɔkaa nsɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛka no wieeɛ no, na ɔhunuu nteaseɛnam a Yosef de somaa sɛ wɔmfa mmɛfa no no, wɔn agya Yakob ho sanee no.
28 And Israel said, It is enough, Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.
Afei, Israel kaa sɛ, “Magye nsɛm no nyinaa adi. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ, Yosef te ase. Mɛkɔ makɔhunu no ansa na mawu.”
