< 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.
Kana irratti Yoosef namoota hunda duratti of qabuu dadhabee, “Namoota hunda fuula koo duraa gad yaasaa!” jedhee iyye. Kanaaf yommuu Yoosef obboloota isaatti of beeksisetti namni tokko iyyuu isa bira hin turre.
2 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
Sababii inni guddisee booʼeef warri Gibxi ni dhagaʼan; warra masaraa Faraʼoon birattis ni dhagaʼame.
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.
Yoosefis obboloota isaatiin, “Ani Yoosef; abbaan koo amma iyyuu jiraa?” jedhee gaafate. Obboloonni isaa garuu sababii fuula isaa duratti naʼanii turaniif deebii isaaf kennuu hin dandeenye.
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.
Yoosefis obboloota isaatiin, “Mee as natti dhiʼaadhaa” jedhe. Isaan isatti dhiʼaannaan inni akkana jedhe; “Ani Yoosef obboleessa keessan isa isin Gibxitti gurgurtan sanaa dha!
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.
Ammas sababii asitti na gurgurtaniif hin gaabbinaa; ofittis hin aarinaa. Waaqni lubbuu baraaruuf jedhee isin dura na ergeeraatii.
6 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
Waggoota lamaan kana beelatu biyyattii keessa ture; waggoota shanan dhufan keessas lafa qotachuu fi midhaan galfachuun hin jiru.
7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
Waaqni lafa irratti sanyii isiniif hambisuu fi furii guddaadhaan lubbuu keessan oolchuuf jedhee isin dura na erge.
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.
“Waaqatu as na erge malee isin miti. Inni Faraʼooniif abbaa na godhe; warra mana isaa jiran hunda irratti gooftaa, biyya Gibxi hunda irratti immoo bulchaa na godhe.
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.
Ammas dafaa gara abbaa kootti deebiʼaatii akkana isaan jedhaa; ‘Ilmi kee Yoosef akkana jedha: Waaqni Gibxi hunda irratti gooftaa na godheera. Gara kootti gad buʼi; hin turinis.
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.
Ati biyya Gooshen keessa ni jiraatta; ati, ijoolleen keetii fi ijoolleen ijoollee keetii, bushaayeen kee, loon keetii fi wanni ati qabdu hundi natti dhiʼaattanii jiraatu.
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.’”
Sababii amma iyyuu waggaan beelaa shan dhufaa jiruuf ani achitti sin soora; yoo kanaa achii atii fi warri mana kee jiraatan, wanni ati qabdu hundinuus ni rakkattu.’
12 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
“Akka namni isinitti dubbachaa jiru kun anuma taʼe kunoo, iji keessan, iji obboleessa koo Beniyaamis ni arga.
13 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
Ulfina Gibxi keessatti naa kenname hundaa fi waan argitan hunda abbaa kootti himaa. Abbaa koos dafaatii as fidaa.”
14 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Ergasiis morma obboleessa isaa Beniyaamitti marmee booʼe; Beniyaamis booʼaa isa hammate.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
Yoosefis obboloota isaa hunda dhungatee itti booʼe. Ergasii obboloonni isaa isa wajjin haasaʼan.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
Yommuu akka obboloonni Yoosef dhufan masaraa Faraʼoonitti dhagaʼametti, Faraʼoonii fi qondaaltonni isaa ni gammadan.
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.
Faraʼoonis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Obboloota keetiin akkana jedhi; ‘Waan kana godhaa: Horii keessan feʼadhaa biyya Kanaʼaaniitti deebiʼaatii
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.’
abbaan keessanii fi maatiiwwan keessan natti fidaa. Ani lafa biyya Gibxi keessaa lafa hunda caalu isiniif nan kenna. Isin cooma biyyattii ni nyaattu.’
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.
“Akkasumas akkana jedhii isaanitti himi; ‘Waan kana godhaa: Ijoollee keessaniifis, niitota keessaniifis biyya Gibxiitii gaariiwwan fudhadhaa; abbaa keessanis fidaatii kottaa.
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
Waaʼee qabeenya keessanii hin yaaddaʼinaa; wanni biyya Gibxi guutuu keessaa waan hunda caalu kan keessan taʼaatii.’”
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.
Ilmaan Israaʼelis akkasuma godhan. Yoosefis akkuma Faraʼoon isa ajajetti gaariiwwan kenneefii karaa isaaniitiif illee galaa galaaseef.
22 He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
Tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif wayyaa kenne; Beniyaamiif garuu meetii saqilii dhibba sadiitii fi wayyaa irraa jalaa shan kenne.
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.
Abbaa isaatiif immoo harroota, wanni biyya Gibxi gaggaariin itti feʼame kudhan, akkasumas harroota dhaltuu midhaan, buddeenaa fi galaan biraa karaa isaatiif itti feʼame kudhan erge.
24 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
Innis akkasitti obboloota isaa erge; innis yeroo isaan qajeelanitti, “Karaatti wal hin lolinaa!” jedheen.
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Isaanis Gibxi keessaa ol baʼanii gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob bira dhaqan.
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!
Isaanis, “Yoosef amma iyyuu jira! Biyya Gibxi guutuu iyyuu isumatu bulcha” jedhaniin. Yaaqoob immoo naasuudhaan of wallaale; jara amanuus hin dandeenya.
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.
Garuu yeroo jarri waan Yoosef isaaniin jedhe hunda isatti himanii innis gaariiwwan Yoosef isa fichisiisuuf ergeef sana argetti lubbuun abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob ni bayyanatte.
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.”
Israaʼelis, “Na gaʼa! Ilmi koo Yoosef amma iyyuu jira. Anis utuun hin duʼin dhaqee isa nan arga” jedhe.
