Genesis 45
1 Joseph couldn't control his emotions any longer while all his attendants were there, so he shouted out, “Everybody leave me!” So there was nobody else there when Joseph revealed who he was to his brothers.
Nʼoge a, Josef enwekwaghị ike ijite onwe ya aka nʼihu ndị na-ejere ya ozi. O welitara olu sị, “Zipụnụ onye ọbụla site nʼebe m nọ.” Ya mere, o nweghị onye ya na Josef nọ mgbe ọ kọọrọ ụmụnne ya onye ọ bụ.
2 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
O tiri mkpu akwa nke ndị Ijipt nụrụ, na nke ndị ụlọ Fero nụkwara.
3 “I'm Joseph!” he announced to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” They couldn't answer him as they were so surprised to see him face to face.
Josef gwara ụmụnne ya sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Josef. Nna m ọ ka nọ ndụ ugbu a?” Ma ụmụnne ya enweghị ọnụ ha ji asa ya, nʼihi na oke egwu jidere ha nʼihu ya.
4 “Please come closer to me,” he told his brothers. They came over to him. “I'm your brother Joseph who you sold into slavery in Egypt.
Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị ụmụnne ya, “Biko, bịanụ m nso.” Mgbe ha bịara ya nso, ọ sịrị ha, “Abụ m nwanne unu, Josef, onye unu rere ree gaa Ijipt.
5 But don't be worried or get angry with yourselves that you sold me to be a slave here, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to save lives.
Ma otu ọ dị, ka ọ ghara iwute unu, unu atakwala onwe unu ụta nʼihi orure unu rere m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼihi ichebe ndụ unu ka Chineke ji buru ụzọ zite m nʼebe a.
6 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
Oge ụnwụ agwụchabeghị. Ọ bụ ezie na afọ abụọ nke oke ụnwụ agafeela, ma ọ fọdụrụ afọ ise ọzọ nʼihu, oge a na-agaghị akọ ihe ọbụla nʼala, maọbụ iwere ihe ọbụla nʼubi.
7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
Chineke zitere m ka m buru ụzọ bịa nʼebe a nʼihi ime ka ndụ fọdụrụ unu nʼụwa, na ịzọpụta ndụ unu site nʼụzọ nnapụta dị oke egwu.
8 So it wasn't you who sent me here, but God. He was the one who made me Pharaoh's chief advisor in charge of all his affairs, and ruler of the whole country of Egypt.
“Ya mere, ọ bụghị unu zitere m nʼebe a, kama ọ bụ Chineke. Ya onwe ya emeela ka m ghọọrọ Fero nna, na onyeisi ezinaụlọ ya niile, na onye na-achị ala Ijipt niile.
9 Now hurry! Go back to my father and tell him, ‘This message comes from your son Joseph: God has made me the ruler of the whole of Egypt. Come to me now; don't wait.
Ugbu a, meenụ ngwa lakwuru nna m, sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Josef nwa gị nwoke kwuru, Chineke emeela m onye na-achị Ijipt niile. Egbula oge ịbịakwute m.
10 You'll live in the land of Goshen so you can be close to me with your children and grandchildren, and with your flocks and herds and everything that belongs to you.
Ị ga-ebi nʼala Goshen, ka i nwee ike ịnọ m nso, gị na ụmụ gị, na ụmụ ụmụ gị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ gị, na igwe ehi gị, na ihe niile i nwere.
11 I'll make sure you have food, because there are still five more years of famine to come. Otherwise you and your family and your animals are going to starve.’”
Nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-enyekwa gị ihe ị chọrọ, nʼihi na ụnwụ afọ ise ka dị nʼihu na-abịa. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, gị na ezinaụlọ gị na ihe niile bụ nke gị ga-ada ụkpa.’
12 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
“Nʼezie, anya unu na nʼanya nwanne m Benjamin, ahụla na mụ onwe m ji ọnụ m na-agwa unu okwu ndị a.
13 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
Unu ga-akọrọ nna m maka nsọpụrụ niile a na-enye m nʼala Ijipt na ihe niile unu hụrụ. Kpọtakwanụ nna m ọsịịsọ ebe a.”
14 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Ugbu a, ọ dakwasịrị nʼolu Benjamin, nwanne ya, kwaa akwa. Benjamin jidekwara ya nʼolu kwaa akwa.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
Emesịa, o suturu ụmụnne ya niile ọnụ, bekwasịkwa ha akwa. Nʼikpeazụ, ụmụnne ya kpanyeere ya ụka.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
Mgbe akụkọ a ruru ụlọ Fero na ụmụnne Josef bịara, ọ tọrọ Fero na ndịisi ozi niile ya ụtọ.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you are to do: Load your donkeys with grain and go back to the country of Canaan.
Fero gwara Josef sị ya, “Gwa ụmụnne gị, ka ha mee ihe otu a, ha bokwasị ịnyịnya ibu unu ibu laghachikwa nʼala Kenan.
18 Then bring your father and your families and return here to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you shall eat the best food the country has to offer.’
Ha ruo, ha kpọta nna gị, na ezinaụlọ ha, ka ha lọghachikwute m nʼala Ijipt. Nʼihi na aga m enye ha ala kachasị mma nʼIjipt. Ha onwe ha ga-erikwa uru ala ahụ.
19 Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
“Gwakwa ụmụnne gị okwu sị ha, ‘Sitenụ nʼala Ijipt were ụgbọala, nke unu ga-eji budata ndị nwunye unu na ụmụntakịrị unu. Dutekwanụ nna unu.
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
Unu esogbula onwe unu banyere ngwa ụlọ unu, nʼihi na ihe niile dị mma nʼala Ijipt bụ nke unu.’”
21 So that's what the sons of Israel did. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered. He also gave them supplies for their journey.
Ya mere ụmụ Izrel mere ihe ndị a. Josef nyere ha ụgbọala dịka Fero nyere nʼiwu. O nyekwara ha nri ha ga-eri nʼụzọ.
22 He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
O nyere onye ọ bụla nʼime ha uwe mgbanwe ọhụrụ, ma o nyere Benjamin narị shekel ọlaọcha atọ, na uwe mgbanwe ise.
23 Joseph also sent to his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best things from Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and supplies needed for his father's journey.
O zipụụrụ nna ya ihe ndị a: ịnyịnya ibu iri ndị e bokwasịrị ihe mara mma niile si nʼala Ijipt, na nne ịnyịnya ibu iri ndị e bokwasịrị ọka na achịcha, na ihe ndị ọzọ dị iche iche, nʼihi ije ya.
24 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
O zipụrụ ụmụnne ya. Ma oge ha na-achọ ịhapụ ya, ọ gwara ha sị, “Unu esekwala okwu nʼụzọ.”
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Mgbe ahụ, ha hapụrụ ala Ijipt mechaa rute ala Kenan, bịakwute Jekọb nna ha.
26 “Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it!
Ha gwara ya sị, “Josef ka nọ ndụ. Nʼezie, ọ bụ ya na-achị ala Ijipt niile.” Ma o siiri Jekọb ike ịnabata akụkọ a. O kwenyeghị na ọ bụ eziokwu.
27 But when they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to take him to Egypt, Jacob came back to his senses.
Ma mgbe ha gwasịrị ya ihe niile Josef gwara ha, mgbe ọ hụkwara ụgbọala niile Josef zitere ka e jiri bute ya, mmụọ nna ha Jekọb lọghachiri.
28 Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.”
Mgbe ahụ Izrel kwuru sị, “Ekwetala m! Josef nwa m ka dị ndụ. Aga m aga hụ ya anya tupu m nwụọ.”
