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.
Afei, na Yosef yɛ ne ho hwee a, ɛnyɛ yiye wɔ nʼasomfo no nyinaa anim. Enti ɔteɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo no se, “Obiara mfi ha nkɔ.” Enti bere a oyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no, na asomfo no mu biara nni hɔ.
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
Osuu denneennen maa Misraimfo no tee, Farao fifo tee asɛm no.
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.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarimanom no se, “Mene Yosef! Mʼagya te ase ana?” Nanso asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn piriw ma wɔtotɔɔ mum wɔ nʼanim.
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.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarimanom no se, “Montwiw mmɛn me.” Wotwiw bɛn no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mene mo nuabarima Yosef. Me na motɔn me ma wɔde me kɔɔ Misraim no.
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.
Mommma biribiara nhaw mo. Na monnkasakasa so sɛ motɔn me ma wɔde me baa ha. Onyankopɔn na ɔyɛe. Ɔno na ɔsomaa me, dii mo anim baa ha sɛ mimmegye mo nkwa.
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.
Mfe abien ni a ɔkɔm baa asase yi so. Mfe anum a ɛreba yi nso, obiara rennua, na obiara nso rentwa.
7 And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
Onyankopɔn asoma me ha sɛ memma mo ne mo fifo ntena nkwa mu, na moayɛ ɔman kɛse.
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.
“Enti ɛnyɛ mo na mode me baa ha, na ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ankasa! Wayɛ me Farao fotufo ne ne fi sohwɛfo, na ɔde Misraiman nyinaa nso ahyɛ me nsa.
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.
Afei, monka mo ho nkɔ mʼagya nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛnea wo babarima Yosef se ni, Onyankopɔn ayɛ me Misraiman nyinaa sohwɛfo. Enti ntwentwɛn wʼanan ase koraa, na bra Misraim!
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.
Wobɛba abɛtena Gosen asase so, na woabɛn me. Fa wo mma, wo nananom, wo nguan ne wʼanantwi ne biribiara a wowɔ bra.
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.
Sɛ woba hɔ a, mɛhwɛ wo, efisɛ aka saa ɔkɔm kɛse yi mfe anum. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, wo ne wo fifo ne wɔn a wɔka wo ho nyinaa bedi hia buruburoo.’
12 Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
“Mo ne me nua Benyamin nyinaa di adanse sɛ, ampa ara, ɛyɛ me Yosef na me ne morekasa yi.
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.
Monka anuonyam a Onyame adom nti, wɔahyɛ me wɔ Misraim asase so ne biribiara a mo ankasa mode mo ani abehu no nyinaa ho asɛm nkyerɛ mʼagya. Monkɔfa mʼagya nsian mmrɛ me ntɛm.”
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.
Ɔyɛɛ Benyamin atuu, sui, a anigye ne awerɛhow adi afra. Benyamin nso fii ase sui.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
Ofifew ne nuanom no nyinaa ano sui, na ɛno akyi no, wotumi ne no kasae.
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.
Bere a wɔtee wɔ Farao fi sɛ Yosef nuanom no aba no, Farao ne ne mpanyimfo a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa ani gyei.
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.
Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ka kyerɛ wo nuanom no se, wɔmfa nneɛma nsoasoa wɔn mmoa no, na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so,
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.
na wɔnkɔfa wɔn agya ne wɔn abusuafo nyinaa mmra Misraim asase so ha mmɛtena ha. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Farao bɛma mo Misraim asase no fa a eye pa ara atena so. Wobedi asase no so nnepa!’
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:
“Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momfa nteaseɛnam mfi Misraim ha nkɔfa mo yerenom ne mo mma. Momfa mo agya nso nka ho mmra.
20 And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
Monnhaw mo ho wɔ mo agyapade ho, efisɛ mede nnepa a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa no bi bɛma mo.’”
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.
Enti Yosef maa wɔn nteaseɛnam ne nnuan a wobedi wɔ ɔkwan so, sɛnea Farao hyɛe no.
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:
Ɔmaa ne nuanom no mu biara atade foforo, nanso Benyamin de, ɔmaa no ntade ahorow anum ne dwetɛ kilogram abiɛsa ne fa.
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.
Saa nneɛma a edidi so yi nso na Yosef de kɔmaa nʼagya Israel: mfurumnini du a wɔahyehyɛ Misraim nneɛma pa wɔ wɔn so, mfurummmere du a wɔsoso aburow, brodo ne nnuan ahorow ne nʼakwansoduan.
24 So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
Ogyaa ne nuanom no kwan, na akwannya no mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monnkɔkasakasa wɔ ɔkwan so.”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
Enti wofii Misraimman mu kɔɔ wɔn agya Israel nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
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.
Wodui no, wɔde anigye bɔɔ wɔn agya amanneɛ se, “Yosef te ase! Nokwasɛm ni, ɔno na odi Misraiman nyinaa so!” Israel tee saa asɛm no, ne ho dwiriw no. Wannye anni.
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,
Na bere a wɔkaa nsɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛka no wiee no, na ohuu nteaseɛnam a Yosef de somaa sɛ wɔmfa mmɛfa no no, wɔn agya Yakob ho san no.
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.
Na Israel kae se, “Magye nsɛm no nyinaa adi. Me ba Yosef da so te ase. Mɛkɔ akohu no ansa na mawu.”
