Genesis 45
1 THEN Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
Yosef magate ŋu aɖu eɖokui dzi azɔ o. Eɖe gbe na eŋumewo katã be, “Ame sia ame nado go.” Ale eya kple nɔviawo koe susɔ.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Tete wòde asi avifafa me sesĩe. Egiptetɔwo se eƒe avifafa le fiasã la me, eye eƒe avifafa ƒe nya ɖo Fia Farao ƒe fiasã me enumake.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Egblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Nyee nye Yosef! Fofonye gale agbea?” Ke nɔviawo lulũ ale gbegbe be womete ŋu ke nu o.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Mite va gbɔnye.” Ale wote ɖe eŋu. Egagblɔ na wo be, “Nyee nye Yosef, mia nɔvi, ame si miedzra wokplɔ dzoe yi Egipte!
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
Gake migado dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ɖokuiwo ŋu be yewowɔ nu sia ɖe ŋunye o, elabena Mawue wɔe! Eɖom ɖe afi sia do ŋgɔ na mi, ale be mate ŋu aɖe miaƒe agbe.
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
Ƒe eve koe nye esia dɔwuame la va, eye anɔ anyi wòade ƒe adre esime nuƒaƒã alo nuŋeŋe manɔ anyi o.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Mawu ɖom ɖe afi sia be mana miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo miatsi agbe, ale be miate ŋu azu dukɔ gã aɖe.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
“Ɛ̃, Mawue ɖom ɖe afi sia, menye miawoe o. Ewɔm aɖaŋuɖolae na Farao, eye wòna mezu dzikpɔla na dukɔ la katã kple Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ɖula.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
“Miɖe abla miayi fofonye gbɔ, eye miagblɔ nɛ be viwò Yosef be, ‘Mawu ɖom amegãe ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi. Va gbɔnye fifi laa!
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
Ànɔ Gosen ƒe anyigba dzi, ale be wò kple viwòwo katã, wò tɔgbuiyɔviwo, wò lãwo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò la, miate ɖe ŋunye.
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
Makpɔ dziwò le afi ma, elabena ƒe atɔ̃ ƒe dɔwuame gale mía ŋgɔ. Ne menye nenema o la, wò kple wò aƒemetɔwo kple ame siwo katã nye tɔwòwo la, miazu dɔwuitɔwo.’
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
“Miawo ŋutɔ miate ŋu akpɔe, eye nenema ke nɔvinye Benyamin hã, be nye tututue nye ame si le nu ƒom na mi la.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
“Migblɔ ŋusẽ si le asinye le Egipte kple ale si ame sia ame ɖoa tom la na mía fofo, eye miakplɔe vɛ nam kaba.”
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Tete wòde asi dzidzɔvifafa me. Ekpla asi kɔ na Benyamin, eye eya hã de asi avifafa me.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
Egbugbɔ nu na nɔviawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, eye wògafa dzidzɔvi. Azɔ ko hafi nɔviawo te ŋu ƒo nu.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Nya la ɖo Farao gbɔ be, “Yosef nɔviwo va.” Esi Farao kple eŋumewo se nya sia la, dzi dzɔ wo ŋutɔ.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Gblɔ na nɔviwòwo be woado agba na woƒe tedziwo enumake, atrɔ ayi wo de le Kanaan kaba,
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
eye woakplɔ mia fofo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo katã ava Egipte, ale be woanɔ afi sia. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Farao ana teƒe nyuitɔ kekeake wo le Egipte. Mianɔ agbe ɖe anyigba sia ƒe nu nyuiwo dzi!’
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Gblɔ na nɔviwòwo be woatsɔ tasiaɖamwo tso Egipte be woakɔ wo srɔ̃wo kple ɖeviwo, eye woakplɔ wo fofo va afi sia.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Migatsi dzi ɖe nu siwo le mia si la ŋu o, elabena Egipte ƒe anyigba nyuitɔ zu mia tɔ.”
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Yosef tsɔ tasiaɖamwo na Israel ƒe viwo abe ale si Farao gblɔ ene, eye wòtsɔ nu si woaɖu le mɔzɔzɔ me la hã na wo.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Etsɔ awu yeyewo na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ke etsɔ awudodo atɔ̃ kple klosalo alafa atɔ̃ na Benyamin.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
Ena tedzi ewo tsɔ nu nyui siwo le Egipte la yi na fofoa, eye wògana tedzi ewo bubu tsɔ bli kple nuɖuɖu vovovowo yi nɛ be wòaɖu le mɔa dzi.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
Ale wòdo mɔ nɔviawo. Nya mamlɛtɔ si Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo lae nye, “Migawɔ dzre le mɔa dzi o hee!”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
Ale wodzo le Egipte trɔ yi Kanaanyigba dzi le wo fofo Yakob gbɔ.
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
Wodo ɣli gblɔ na wo fofo be, “Yosef le agbe, eye wòzu Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ɖula!” Ke nya la wɔ moya na Yakob ale gbegbe be mexɔe se o.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
Ke esi wogblɔ nya siwo Yosef be woagblɔ nɛ, eye wòkpɔ tasiaɖam siwo me nuɖuɖu si Yosef ɖo ɖee le la, Yakob ƒe dzi ɖo eme azɔ.
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Israel gblɔ be, “Nyateƒee, vinye Yosef le agbe, mayi aɖakpɔe ɖa hafi aku.”
