< Genesis 45 >

1 Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
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 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
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 And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
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 And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom 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 Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
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 it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
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 And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
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 Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in 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 Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
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 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
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 feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
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, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to 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 You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
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 And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
Basa boe ma, ana holu odꞌi na Benyamin, de rua se nggae.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
Ana o holu odꞌi-aꞌa nara, de idꞌu se esa-esaꞌ. Dei de, ara feꞌe ola-olaꞌ ro e.
16 And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a no basa pagau nara rena Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara rema, de basa se ramahoꞌo.
17 And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
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 And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow 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 Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
Boe ma nafadꞌe se, fo rendi memaꞌ kareta hira mia ia, fo fua neu anadikiꞌ ra ro ama ma.
20 And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
Afiꞌ duꞌa mendi basa hata-hetoꞌ ra, te basa maloleꞌ mana sia Masir ia, dei fo sira hambu se.”
21 And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
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 ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
Yusuf o fee se, bua-baꞌus feuꞌ pasan beꞌe esaꞌ. Te ana fee Benyamin doi fulaꞌ natun telu, ma bua feuꞌ pasan lima.
23 Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the 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 So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
Basa ma, ana fee se baliꞌ, ma nafadꞌe se nae, “Hei afiꞌ mireresi sia dalaꞌ e!”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
Boe ma ara lao baliꞌ risiꞌ ama na sia Kanaꞌan.
26 And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet 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 They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit 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 And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and 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.”
