Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph, unable to keep back his feelings before those who were with him, gave orders for everyone to be sent away, and no one was present when he made clear to his brothers who he was.
Jozefi akokaki lisusu komikanga te liboso ya bato nyonso oyo bazalaki liboso na ye, agangaki: « Bobimisa bato nyonso! » Boye, moto moko te azalaki pembeni na ye tango amimonisaki epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali.
2 And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.
Lokola alelaki na mongongo makasi, bato ya Ejipito bayokaki ye; mpe sango ekendeki kino na ndako ya Faraon.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph: is my father still living? But his brothers were not able to give him an answer for they were troubled before him.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: — Nazali Jozefi! Tata na ngai azali nanu na bomoi? Kasi bandeko na ye bakokaki koyanola ye te, pamba te bazalaki kolenga liboso na ye.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.
Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Bopusana pembeni na ngai! Tango bapusanaki, alobaki: — Nazali Jozefi, ndeko na bino ya mobali oyo botekaki mpo ete bamema ngai na Ejipito.
5 Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.
Kasi sik’oyo, bomitungisa te mpe bozala na mawa te na ndenge botekaki ngai awa. Ezali mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bino nde Nzambe atindaki ngai liboso na bino.
6 For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.
Oyo ezali mobu ya mibale wuta nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili; mpe na mibu mitano oyo ezali koya, bakolona te mpe bakobuka te.
7 God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.
Kasi Nzambe atindaki ngai liboso na bino mpo ete bowumela na mokili mpe bobikisa bomoi na bino na nzela ya kokangolama monene.
8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Ezali bino te bato botindaki ngai awa, kasi ezali nde Nzambe. Akomisaki ngai tata ya Faraon, nkolo ya ndako na ye mpe moyangeli ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
9 Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:
Bozonga noki epai ya tata na ngai mpe boloba na ye: « Mwana na yo, Jozefi, alobi: ‹ Nzambe akomisa ngai nkolo ya Ejipito mobimba; yaka epai na ngai, kowumela te.
10 The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:
Okovanda na etuka ya Gosheni mpe okozala pembeni na ngai: yo, bana na yo mpe bakitani na yo, bameme na yo, bantaba na yo, bangombe na yo mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango.
11 And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.
Kuna, nakokokisa baposa na yo nyonso, pamba te mibu mitano ya nzala makasi ezali koya; soki te, yo elongo na bana na yo mpe bibwele na yo nyonso, bokokoma na pasi.
12 Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.
Bino moko bozali komona! Ndeko na ngai, Benjame, akoki mpe komona yango, ete ezali ngai moto nazali koloba na bino.
13 Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.
Boyebisa tata na ngai lokumu nyonso oyo nazali na yango awa na Ejipito, boyebisa ye makambo nyonso oyo bosili komona mpe bomemela ngai ye awa na lombangu. › »
14 Then, weeping, he took Benjamin in his arms, and Benjamin himself was weeping on Joseph's neck.
Sima, amibwakaki na kingo ya ndeko na ye Benjame mpe alelaki; Benjame mpe akangaki ye na kingo, bongo alelaki.
15 Then he gave a kiss to all his brothers, weeping over them; and after that his brothers had no fear of talking to him.
Apesaki bandeko na ye nyonso beze mpe alelaki. Sima na yango, basololaki.
16 And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.
Tango sango ekomaki na ndako ya Faraon ete bandeko ya Jozefi bayei, Faraon elongo na bakambi na ye nyonso basepelaki.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Put your goods on your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Yebisa bandeko na yo: « Botia biloko likolo ya banyama na bino mpe bozonga na mokili ya Kanana.
18 And get your father and your families and come back to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, and the fat of the land will be your food.
Boyela ngai tata na bino mpe mabota na bino; nakopesa bino mabele oyo eleki kitoko kati na Ejipito mpe bokolia biloko na yango oyo eleki kitoko. »
19 And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.
Okoyebisa bango lisusu: « Bozwa ndambo ya bashario ya Ejipito mpo na bana mpe basi na bino; bongo bozwa tata na bino mpe bozonga awa.
20 And take no thought for your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Boyoka mawa te mpo na oyo bokotika na Kanana, pamba te biloko nyonso ya kitoko oyo ezali na Ejipito ekozala mpo na bino. »
21 And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.
Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo oyo bayebisaki bango. Jozefi apesaki bango bashario ndenge Faraon apesaki mitindo mpe apesaki bango bilei mosusu mpo na mobembo na bango.
22 To every one of them he gave three changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred bits of silver and five changes of clothing.
Jozefi apesaki epai ya moko na moko kati na bango bilamba ya sika; apesaki Benjame mbongo ya bibende, nkama misato, elongo na bilamba ya sika.
23 And to his father he sent ten asses with good things from Egypt on their backs, and ten she-asses with grain and bread and food for his father on the journey.
Atindelaki tata na ye biloko oyo: ba-ane zomi etonda na bilamba ya kitoko ya Ejipito mpe bampunda zomi ya basi etonda na ble, mapa mpe bilei mpo na mobembo na ye.
24 And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.
Jozefi atikaki bandeko na ye kokende. Tango bazali kolongwa, alobaki na bango: — Boswana te na nzela.
25 So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
Balongwaki na Ejipito mpe bakendeki epai ya tata na bango Jakobi, na mokili ya Kanana.
26 And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.
Balobaki na ye: — Jozefi azali nanu na bomoi. Ye nde moto azali koyangela Ejipito mobimba. Jakobi ayokaki nzoto malili mpe andimelaki bango te.
27 And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:
Kasi tango bayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo Jozefi alobaki mpo na bango mpe tango amonaki bashario oyo Jozefi atindaki mpo na komema ye na Ejipito, molimo ya tata na bango Jakobi ezongaki.
28 And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.
Mpe Isalaele alobaki: — Ya solo, nandimi ete mwana na ngai Jozefi azali nanu na bomoi; nakokende mpe nakomona ye liboso ete nakufa.
