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.
Yusuf rena nala Yahuda oꞌola na, rala na noe rau-rau nda naꞌatataaꞌ sia pagau nara mata nara sa. De ana denu se dea reu, fo hela mesaꞌ ne no odꞌi-aꞌa nara. Ana nae nafadꞌe eni ia, seka.
2 But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
Paggau nara basa se dea reu, ma Yusuf nggae nahereꞌ, losa atahori Masir mana sia kama a deaꞌ, rena. Ma atahori mana sia maneꞌ a ume na, o rena boe.
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.
Basa de, Yusuf nafadꞌe relo-relo odꞌi-aꞌa nara nae, “We! Odꞌi-aꞌa re. Au ia Yusuf, hei toronoo ma. Amaꞌ feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, to?” Odꞌi-aꞌa nara rena taꞌo naa ma, ramatau rala seli, losa nda ola-olaꞌ rala saa saꞌ boe.
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!
Boe ma Yusuf noꞌe se nae, “We! Ima deka-deka ia dei.” Ara reu deka Yusuf. Ma ana olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Au ia Yusuf, fo maꞌahulu na hei seo neu atahori Masir ra.
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.
Hei memaꞌ seo hendi au ena. Te afiꞌ mimitau, ma afiꞌ mireresi esa fee salaꞌ neu esa fai. Matetu na, Lamatualain mana no au ia uma uꞌuhuluꞌ mia hei e. Onaꞌ naa, Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori naeꞌ huu au. Fo ara afiꞌ mate ndoes.
6 For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.
Ndoe-laꞌas feꞌe laoꞌ too rua ia. Feꞌe hela too lima fai. Atahori nda aꞌali rae sa, nda sela nggari sa, de nda hambu mbule-bꞌoaꞌ saa saꞌ boe.
7 God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
No dalaꞌ fo hita nda tahineꞌ sa ia, Lamatualain no au uꞌuhuluꞌ hei. Naa fo hambu ruma mia hei ma umbu-ana mara, rasodꞌa.
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.
Matetu na, nda hei tatao ma de au sia ia sa, te Lamatualain tatao Na. Naa de au dadꞌi fetor sia Masir ia. De au dadꞌi malangga mana tao ues sia maneꞌ a ume panggat na. Nda hambu atahori lenaꞌ au sa.
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.
De ia naa, hei baliꞌ lai-lai leo, fo mifadꞌe au oꞌola ngga ia neu amaꞌ mae, ‘Amaꞌ ana na Yusuf feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ. Ana dadꞌi atahori malangga sia Masir. Ana noꞌe amaꞌ Masir neu lai-lai.
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.
Dei fo amaꞌ leo sia Masir sia mamana esa naran Gosen, deka no e. Mamanaꞌ naa maloleꞌ ma loaꞌ. De amaꞌ bisa naꞌaboi bibꞌi lombo mara sia naa, ma basa hiek no sapi ra. Ana o noꞌe fo amaꞌ muu mo umbu-ana mara, ume isi mara, no basa hata-heto mara fo leo siaꞌ a naa.
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.’
Mete ma amaꞌ sia Gosen, naa, ana naꞌaboi amaꞌ sia naa. Ndoe-laꞌas feꞌe too lima fai. Dei fo ana tao fo amaꞌ no bobꞌonggiꞌ mara, basa banda ra nda kuran saa saꞌ boe.’”
12 Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.
Yusuf nafadꞌe basa boe, ana olaꞌ fai nae, “Ia naa, hei mita ena, to? Ma ho, Benyamin, mita, to? Au ia, memaꞌ Yusuf.
13 Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
De mifadꞌe hita ama na mae, au koasa ngga monaeꞌ sia Masir. Boe ma dui basa-bꞌasa saa fo hei mitaꞌ ia neu amaꞌ. Basa fo, mo amaꞌ lai-lai ia nema leo!”
14 Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.
Basa boe ma, ana holu odꞌi na Benyamin, de rua se nggae.
15 Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.
Ana o holu odꞌi-aꞌa nara, de idꞌu se esa-esaꞌ. Dei de, ara feꞌe ola-olaꞌ ro e.
16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a no basa pagau nara rena Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara rema, de basa se ramahoꞌo.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.
De maneꞌ a olaꞌ no Yusuf nae, “Yusuf, e! Mufadꞌe odꞌi-aꞌa mara fo ara fua are nara reu keledei leo, fo rendi Kanaꞌan neu.
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.’
Denu se rema ro ama ma, no basa bobꞌonggi nara, fo ara lali ia rema leo. Dei fo fee se rae meulauꞌ sia Masir, fo ara rasodꞌa sia naa, ma raa rae minan.
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.
Boe ma nafadꞌe se, fo rendi memaꞌ kareta hira mia ia, fo fua neu anadikiꞌ ra ro ama ma.
20 But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
Afiꞌ duꞌa mendi basa hata-hetoꞌ ra, te basa maloleꞌ mana sia Masir ia, dei fo sira hambu se.”
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.
Maneꞌ a olaꞌ basa ma, Yusuf fee se kareta hira ma lepa-ngges, tungga maneꞌ a parenda na. De odꞌi-aꞌa nara raꞌalilinuꞌ fo baliꞌ tungga maneꞌ a parenda na.
22 He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
Yusuf o fee se, bua-baꞌus feuꞌ pasan beꞌe esaꞌ. Te ana fee Benyamin doi fulaꞌ natun telu, ma bua feuꞌ pasan lima.
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.
Ana haitua fee ama na sudꞌi a saa meulauꞌ mia Masir, de fua neu kaledei mone sanahulu. Ana o fee seluꞌ, are, roti, ma nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ, sia keledei ine sanahulu fai, fo dadꞌi lepa-ngges baliꞌ Masir rema.
24 Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”
Basa ma, ana fee se baliꞌ, ma nafadꞌe se nae, “Hei afiꞌ mireresi sia dalaꞌ e!”
25 So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
Boe ma ara lao baliꞌ risiꞌ ama na sia Kanaꞌan.
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.
Losa naa ma, rafadꞌe ama na rae, “Amaꞌ e! Ana ma Yusuf feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ. Ana dadꞌi atahori monaeꞌ, de parenda sia Masir!” Yakob rena ma, ana titindindi, de nda namahere oꞌola nara sa.
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.
Te ara rafadꞌe basa Yusuf oꞌola na ma, Yakob nita kareta fo Yusuf haitua nema nae fua no e nisiꞌ Masir, dei de feꞌe namahere na.
28 “Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Awi! Au ana ngga feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ o! Taꞌo naa dei de au feꞌe umuhoꞌo na. Au musi uu seꞌu-ita dei, dei fo au feꞌe mate no maloleꞌ.”
