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.
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 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
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 “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.
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 “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.
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 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.
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 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or 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 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.’”
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 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking 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 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
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 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Basa boe ma, ana holu odꞌi na Benyamin, de rua se nggae.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
Ana o holu odꞌi-aꞌa nara, de idꞌu se esa-esaꞌ. Dei de, ara feꞌe ola-olaꞌ ro e.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a no basa pagau nara rena Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara rema, de basa se ramahoꞌo.
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.
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 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.’
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 Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
Boe ma nafadꞌe se, fo rendi memaꞌ kareta hira mia ia, fo fua neu anadikiꞌ ra ro ama ma.
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
Afiꞌ duꞌa mendi basa hata-hetoꞌ ra, te basa maloleꞌ mana sia Masir ia, dei fo sira hambu se.”
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.
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 gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
Yusuf o fee se, bua-baꞌus feuꞌ pasan beꞌe esaꞌ. Te ana fee Benyamin doi fulaꞌ natun telu, ma bua feuꞌ pasan lima.
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.
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 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
Basa ma, ana fee se baliꞌ, ma nafadꞌe se nae, “Hei afiꞌ mireresi sia dalaꞌ e!”
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Boe ma ara lao baliꞌ risiꞌ ama na sia Kanaꞌan.
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!
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 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.
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 Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to 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.”
