< 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.
Tsy naha-lie-batañe amy maro niarikoboñe azey t’Iosefe, le pinaza’e ty hoe, Ampisitaho amako ondaty iabio. Aa ie tsy ama’ ondaty le nibenta-batañe aman-drahalahi’e t’Iosefe.
2 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
Le akore ty fangololoiha’e kanao tsinano’ o nte-Mitsraimeo naho ty anjomba’ i Parò.
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.
Hoe t’Iose­fe aman-drahalahi’e, Izaho ‘n-o Iosefeo. Mbe velom-bao ty raeko? Fa tsy nahatoiñ’ aze o rahalahi’eo ami’ty fangovita’ iareo amy fiatrefa’ey.
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.
Aa hoe t’Iosefe aman-drahalahi’e, Ehe, harivò! Le niharivoa’ iareo. Hoe re, Izaho nio Iosefe rahalahi’areo, naleta’ areo mb’e Mitsraimey.
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.
Aa le ko mañore ndra mañìnje vatañe ty amy nandetaha’ areo ahy atoy, amy te i Andrianañahare ty nañirak’ ahy hiaolo anahareo handrombak’ aiñe;
6 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
fa nisaliko roe taoñe ty tane toy vaho mbe hanonjohy izay ty lime taoñe tsy aman’ ava tsy amam-bokatse.
7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
Nirahen’ Añahare hiaoloako hañajañe tariratse ho anahareo an-tane atoy vaho hampitambeloñe anahareo an-drombake ra’elahy.
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.
Aa le tsy inahareo ty nañitrik’ ahy mb’etoa fa i Andrianañahare, ie ty nanao ahy ho rae’ i Parò naho talè’ i anjomba’e iabiy vaho mpifehe i hene tane Mitsraimey.
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.
Misangitrifa mb’ aman-draeko mb’eo arè vaho ano ama’e ty hoe, Hoe ty ana’o Iosefe, Nanoen’ Añahare talè’ i Mitsraime iaby iraho; mizo­tsoa mb’ amako mb’etoy le ko mihenekeneke.
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.
Hitoetse marine ahy an-tane’ Gosena añe irehe, ihe naho o keleia’oo naho o anan’ ana’oo, naho o mpirai-lia’oo naho o mpirai-tro’oo vaho ze hene hanaña’o.
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.’”
Ho fahanako ey nahareo amy te mbe hitovoñe lime taoñe i hasalikoañey, tsy mone hifo­tsak’ an-kararahan-drehe naho o añ’ anjomba’oo.
12 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
Ie amy zao, Hehe te o fihaino’ areoo naho ty mason-jaiko Beniamine ro mahaisake te ty vavako ro mivolañe ama’ areo henaneo.
13 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
Saon­tsio aman-draeko ty hara’ elahim-piasiañe ahiko e Mitsraime atoa, le ze hene nioni’areo. Malisà hampizotso an-draeko mb’etoy.
14 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Niforokokoe’e amy zao ty hàto’ i Beniamine rahalahi’e le nangoihoy vaho nirovetse am-pititia’eo t’i Beniamine.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
Hene norofa’e o rahalahi’eo naho niroveta’e; vaho nahafisaontsy ama’e amy zao o rahalahi’eo.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
Ie jinanjiñe añ’anjomba’ i Parò ao ty talily te fa totsake o rahalahi’ Iosefeo, le niehake t’i Parò naho o mpitoro’eo.
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.
Le hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Saontsio ty hoe o rahalahi’oo: Ano zao: ampilogologò o bibi’ areoo vaho miziliha an-tàne Kanàne.
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.’
Indeso mb’amako mb’etoa ty rae’ areo naho o keleia’ areoo naho hatoloko ty tane soa e Mitsraime atoa vaho hikama’ areo ty havondra’ o taneo.
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.
Amantohañe amy zao nahareo: le ano zao: Añandeso sarete boak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoy o keleia’areoo naho o vali’areoo naho rambeso ty rae’ areo vaho mb’etoa.
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
Ko itsakorea’ areo o fanaña’ areoo, fa anahareo ty soa amy ze hene tane e Mitsraime ao.
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.
Aa le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo. Nitolora’ Iosefe sarete ty amy saontsi’ i Paròy vaho nivatia’e ho amy liay.
22 He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
Songa tinolo’e sikiñe vao t’indaty; fe tinolo’e bogady volafoty telon-jato naho sikim-bao lime t’i Beniamine.
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.
Nampihitrife’e mb’ aman-drae’e mb’eo o retoañe: borìke folo nilogologo kilan­kañe soa’ i Mitsraime, borìke-vave’e folo ninday tsako, mofo vaho fivatiañe ho an-drae’e amy fañaveloa’ey.
24 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
Le nampi­onjone’e mb’eo o rahalahi’eo, naho nañavelo, vaho hoe re tam’iareo, Ko mifandietse an-dalañe mb’eo.
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Aa le nienga i Mitsraime iereo vaho nitotsak’ aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe.
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!
Le hoe iereo tama’e, Mbe veloñe t’Iosefe. Hene fehe’e ty tane Mitsraime. Nitoirañe ty arofo’e, le tsy niantofa’e.
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.
Fe natalily ama’e ty hene enta’ Iosefe nisaontsia’e, naho ie nahaisake o sarete nahitri’ Iosefe hinday azeo, le nisotrake ty arofo’ Iakòbe rae’ iareo.
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.”
Hoe t’Israele, Heneke! Kanao mbe veloñe t’Iosefe anako, le tsy mete tsy handeha mb’eo iraho hahatreavako aze aolo’ ty fivetrahako.
