Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.
Tsono Yosefe sanathenso kuwugwira mtima kuti asalire pamaso pa antchito ake ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Aliyense achoke pamaso panga!” Motero panalibe wina aliyense pamene Yosefe anadziwulula kwa abale ake.
2 But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
Ndipo analira mokweza mwakuti Aigupto anamva. Onse a ku nyumba kwa Farao anamvanso za zimenezi.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.
Yosefe anati kwa abale ake, “Ine ndine Yosefe! Kodi abambo anga akanali ndi moyo?” Koma abale ake sanathe kumuyankha chifukwa anali ndi mantha kwambiri pamaso pake.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!
Ndipo Yosefe anati kwa abale ake, “Senderani pafupi nane.” Atasendera iye anati, “Ine ndine mʼbale wanu Yosefe amene munamugulitsa ku Igupto!
5 And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.
Ndipo tsopano, musawawidwe mtima kapena kudzipsera mtima chifukwa choti munandigulitsa ine kuno, popeza Mulungu ananditsogoza ine kuti adzapulumutse miyoyo yanu.
6 For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.
Kwa zaka ziwiri tsopano, kwakhala kuli njala mʼdziko muno, ndipo kwa zaka zisanu zikubwerazi, anthu sadzalima kapena kukolola.
7 God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Koma Mulungu ananditsogoza kuti adzakusungeni ndi moyo ndi kuti mudzakhale ndi zidzukulu pa dziko lapansi.
8 Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
“Motero, si inu amene munanditumiza kuno koma Mulungu. Iye anandisandutsa kukhala nduna yayikulu ya Farao, ndipo zonse za mʼnyumba mwake zili mʼmanja mwangamu. Komanso amene akulamulira dziko lonse la Igupto ndi ine.
9 Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.
Tsono fulumirani mubwerere kwa abambo anga ndi kuwawuza kuti, ‘Mwana wanu Yosefe akuti, Mulungu anandisandutsa kukhala mbuye wa dziko lonse la Igupto. Ndiye bwerani kuno musachedwe.
10 You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.
Ndipo inu, ana anu, zidzukulu zanu, pamodzi ndi nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zanu ndi antchito anu amene muli nawo muzidzakhala mʼdziko la Goseni pafupi ndi ine.
11 And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’
Ine ndizidzakupatsani zakudya kumeneko chifukwa zaka zisanu za njala zikubwera ndithu. Kupanda kutero, inu ndi mabanja anu pamodzi ndi anthu anu onse mudzasowa chakudya.’
12 Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.
“Tsono inu nonse pamodzi ndi mʼbale wangayu Benjamini, mukuona kuti ndi inedi amene ndikuyankhula nanu.
13 Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
Mukawawuze abambo anga kuti ndili pa ulemerero ku dziko la Igupto kuno ndi zonse zimene mwaziona. Tsopano fulumirani kuti mukabwere nawo kuno abambo anga.”
14 Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.
Kenaka Yosefe anakhumbatira Benjamini, mngʼono wake uja nayamba kulira. Nayenso Benjamini anayamba kulira atamukumbatira.
15 Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.
Atatero, Yosefe anapsompsona abale ake onse aja, akulira. Pambuyo pake abale ake aja anacheza ndi Yosefe.
16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
Akunyumba kwa Farao atamva kuti abale ake a Yosefe abwera, Farao pamodzi ndi nduna zake zonse anakondwera.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.
Farao anati kwa Yosefe, “Uwawuze abale ako kuti, ‘Senzetsani nyama zanu katundu ndi kubwerera ku dziko la Kanaani.
18 Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’
Mukabwere nawo abambo anu ndi mabanja anu kuno, ndipo ine ndidzakupatsani dera lachonde kwambiri mʼdziko la Igupto. Mudzadya zokoma za mʼdzikoli.’”
19 You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.
“Uwawuzenso kuti, ‘Tengani ngolo zingapo za kuno ku Igupto kuti mukakwezepo ana anu, akazi anu pamodzi ndi abambo ako ndi kubwera nawo kuno.
20 But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
Musadandaule zosiya katundu komweko chifukwa dziko lachonde la kuno ku Igupto lidzakhala lanu.’”
21 So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
Choncho ana a Israeli anachita zimenezo. Yosefe anawapatsa ngolo monga Farao analamulira, ndipo anawapatsanso chakudya cha paulendo wawo.
22 He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
Anaperekanso kwa aliyense zovala zatsopano, koma kwa Benjamini anapereka siliva wolemera pafupifupi makilogalamu anayi ndi zovala zisanu.
23 And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.
Ndipo abambo ake anawatumizira izi: abulu khumi osenza zinthu zabwino kwambiri za ku Igupto, ndi abulu aakazi khumi osenza tirigu, buledi ndi zakudya zina za pa ulendo wake.
24 Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”
Kenaka anawalola abale ake aja kuti azipita, ndipo akunyamuka, iye anawawuza kuti, “Osakangana mʼnjira!”
25 So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
Ndipo anachoka ku Igupto nafika kwa abambo awo Yakobo mʼdziko la Kanaani.
26 “Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.
Iwo anawuza abambo awo kuti, “Yosefe akanali ndi moyo! Ndiponsotu, ndiye akulamulira dziko la Igupto.” Yakobo anangoti kakasi osankhulupirira.
27 However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.
Komabe atamufotokozera zonse zimene Yosefe anawawuza ndipo ataona ngolo zimene Yosefe anatumiza kuti adzakweremo popita ku Igupto, mtima wa Yakobo, abambo awo unatsitsimuka.
28 “Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
Ndipo Israeli anati, “Ndatsimikizadi! Mwana wanga Yosefe akanali ndi moyodi. Ndipita ndikamuone ndisanafe.”
