< 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.
Jozèf pa t' kapab kenbe ankò devan tout moun ki t'ap sèvi l' yo. Li di byen fò: -Fè tout moun soti. Se konsa, pesonn pa t' la avèk Jozèf lè li fè frè l' yo rekonèt li.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Li te pran kriye byen fò, tèlman fò moun peyi Lejip yo te tande l'. Bri a te rive jouk lakay farawon an.
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.
Jozèf di frè l' yo: -Se mwen menm Jozèf. Eske papa m' vivan toujou? Men frè l' yo pa t' kapab reponn li paske yo te boulvèse lè yo wè l' devan yo.
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.
Jozèf di frè l' yo: -Pwoche vin pi pre m'. Yo pwoche, li di yo: -Se mwen menm Jozèf wi, frè nou an. Se mwen menm wi nou te vann bay moun ki tapral peyi Lejip la.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for Elohim did send me before you to preserve life.
Men koulye a, nou pa bezwen boulvèse. Nou pa bezwen règrèt nou te vann mwen pou yo mennen m' isit la. Se Bondye ki te voye m' devan pou m' te ka sove lavi nou.
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.
Sa fè dezan depi grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Men, p'ap gen mwayen travay latè ni fè rekòt pou senk lanne ankò.
7 And Elohim sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Bondye te voye m' vini devan pou ras nou an pa t' fini nan peyi a, pou m' te ka sove lavi nou, pou nou pa mouri.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but Elohim: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Nou wè. Se pa nou menm ki te voye m' isit la, men se Bondye. Se Bondye menm ki mete m' sèvi yon papa pou farawon an. Mwen se chèf nan tout kay li, se mwen k'ap gouvènen tout peyi Lejip la.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, Elohim hath made me master of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
Koulye a, prese tounen kay papa m'. Al di l': Men sa Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan, voye di l': Bondye mete m' chèf sou tout peyi Lejip la. Desann vin jwenn mwen. Pa mize.
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:
Ou pral rete nan peyi Gochenn. Konsa, w'a toupre m', ou menm ansanm ak pitit ou yo, pitit pitit ou yo, mouton ou yo, bèf ou yo ak tout sa ou genyen.
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.
Lè wa Gochenn, m'a pran swen ou, paske grangou a la pou senk lanne ankò.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
Koulye a, nou wè, pa vre. Benjamen, frè m' lan, wè tout se mwen menm menm Jozèf k'ap pale ak nou an.
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.
Fè papa m' konnen jan moun respekte m' isit nan peyi Lejip. Rakonte l' tou sa nou wè. Prese mennen papa m' desann isit la.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Epi li lage kò l' nan bra Benjamen, frè li a, li konmanse kriye ankò. Benjamen tout t'ap kriye sou zepòl li.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
Apre sa, li bo tout frè li yo, li t'ap kriye toujou. Lèfini, frè l' yo pran pale ak li.
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.
Lè moun lakay farawon yo vin konnen frè Jozèf yo te vini, sa te fè farawon an ak chèf li yo kontan.
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;
Farawon an di Jozèf konsa: -Pale ak frè ou yo. Di yo men sa pou yo fè: Chaje bèt yo, ale nan peyi Kanaran.
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.
Lè y'a rive, y'a pran papa yo ak tout fanmi yo, y'a tounen vin jwenn mwen. m'a ba yo pi bon tè ki nan peyi Lejip la pou fè jaden. Y'a manje pi bon manje ki gen nan peyi a.
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.
Ou menm poutèt pa ou, w'a di yo sa pou yo fè. Y'a pran kèk cha nan peyi Lejip la pou timoun yo ak madanm yo. Y'a mennen papa yo vini.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Yo pa bezwen règrèt kite anyen, paske se pi bon bagay nan tout peyi Lejip la m'ap ba yo.
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.
Se sa menm pitit Izrayèl yo te fè. Jozèf ba yo kèk cha jan farawon an te ba li lòd la. Li ba yo pwovizyon pou fè vwayaj la.
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.
Li ba yo chak yon rad tout nèf. Men, li bay Benjamen twasan (300) pyès lajan ak senk rad nèf.
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.
Apre sa, li pran dis mal bourik chaje ak pi bon bagay ki te nan peyi Lejip la, dis fenmèl bourik chaje ak ble ak pen ak tout kalite lòt pwovizyon ankò, li voye bay papa l' pou l' ka fè vwayaj la.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
Lè l'ap voye frè l' yo pati, li di yo: -Piga nou chache kont yonn ak lòt nan chemen an, tande.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
Yo kite peyi Lejip, yo rive Kanaran lakay Jakòb, papa yo.
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.
Yo di l': -Papa, Jozèf la toujou wi. Se li menm k'ap gouvènen peyi Lejip la wi. Men, Jakòb rete tout frèt, paske li pa t' kwè yo.
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:
Men, lè yo rakonte l' tout sa Jozèf te di yo, lè li wè cha Jozèf te voye pou l' te ka vwayaje a, Jakòb gen yon sèl kontantman ki pran l'.
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Li di yo: -Se kont. Jozèf, pitit mwen an, vivan toujou. Fòk m ale pou m' ka wè l' anvan m' mouri.
