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.
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 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
Osuu denneennen maa Misraimfo no tee, Farao fifo tee asɛm no.
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.
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 “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.
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 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.
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 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
Mfe abien ni a ɔkɔm baa asase yi so. Mfe anum a ɛreba yi nso, obiara rennua, na obiara nso rentwa.
7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
Onyankopɔn asoma me ha sɛ memma mo ne mo fifo ntena nkwa mu, na moayɛ ɔman kɛse.
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.
“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 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.
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 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.
Wobɛba abɛtena Gosen asase so, na woabɛn me. Fa wo mma, wo nananom, wo nguan ne wʼanantwi ne biribiara a wowɔ bra.
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.’”
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 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
“Mo ne me nua Benyamin nyinaa di adanse sɛ, ampa ara, ɛyɛ me Yosef na me ne morekasa yi.
13 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
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 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Ɔyɛɛ Benyamin atuu, sui, a anigye ne awerɛhow adi afra. Benyamin nso fii ase sui.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
Ofifew ne nuanom no nyinaa ano sui, na ɛno akyi no, wotumi ne no kasae.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
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 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.
Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ka kyerɛ wo nuanom no se, wɔmfa nneɛma nsoasoa wɔn mmoa no, na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so,
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.’
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 Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
“Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momfa nteaseɛnam mfi Misraim ha nkɔfa mo yerenom ne mo mma. Momfa mo agya nso nka ho mmra.
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
Monnhaw mo ho wɔ mo agyapade ho, efisɛ mede nnepa a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa no bi bɛma mo.’”
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.
Enti Yosef maa wɔn nteaseɛnam ne nnuan a wobedi wɔ ɔkwan so, sɛnea Farao hyɛe no.
22 He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
Ɔmaa ne nuanom no mu biara atade foforo, nanso Benyamin de, ɔmaa no ntade ahorow anum ne dwetɛ kilogram abiɛsa ne fa.
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.
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 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
Ogyaa ne nuanom no kwan, na akwannya no mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monnkɔkasakasa wɔ ɔkwan so.”
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Enti wofii Misraimman mu kɔɔ wɔn agya Israel nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
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!
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 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.
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 Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to 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.”
