< Genesis 45 >

1 Then could Joseph not refrain himself before all those that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there remained no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brothers.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jusufu akĩremwo nĩ kwĩyũmĩrĩria mbere ya arĩa othe maamũtungataga, akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ othe nĩmehere harĩ niĩ!” Tondũ ũcio, hatiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe warĩ na Jusufu rĩrĩa emenyithanirie kũrĩ ariũ a ithe.
2 And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard it.
Na akĩrĩra anĩrĩire o nginya andũ a Misiri makĩmũigua, o na andũ a nyũmba ya Firaũni makĩigua ũhoro wa kĩrĩro kĩu.
3 And Joseph said unto his brothers, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brothers could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
Jusufu akĩĩra ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Jusufu! Baba arĩ o muoyo?” No ariũ a ithe matiahotire kũmũcookeria, nĩgũkorwo nĩmamakĩte mũno marĩ mbere yake.
4 And Joseph said unto his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you; and they came near; and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Ningĩ Jusufu akĩĩra ariũ a ithe atĩrĩ, “Ta nguhĩrĩriai.” Meeka ũguo-rĩ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ mũrũ wa thoguo Jusufu, ũrĩa mwendirie Misiri!
5 But now be not grieved, nor be angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither; for in order to preserve life did God send me before you.
Na rĩu, mũtigathĩĩnĩke kana mwĩrakarĩre nĩkũnyendia gũkũ, tondũ nĩ Ngai wandũmire njũke mbere yanyu nĩgeetha honokie mĩoyo.
6 For these two years hath the famine been already in the land; and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvesting.
Handũ-inĩ ha mĩaka ĩĩrĩ rĩu gũkoretwo na ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ, na mĩaka ĩtano ĩgũũka gũtigũkorwo na kũrĩma kana kũgetha.
7 And God hath thus sent me before you to prepare for you a permanence on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
No Ngai aandũmire mbere yanyu nĩguo ndũme matigari manyu matũũre gũkũ thĩ, na honokie mĩoyo yanyu na kũhonokania kũnene.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God; and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and a lord for all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ti inyuĩ mwandũmire gũkũ, no nĩ Ngai. Na nĩanduĩte ta ithe wa Firaũni, na mwathi wa nyũmba yake yothe o na mwathi wa bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus hath said thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not.
Na rĩu hiũhai mũcooke kũrĩ baba mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo mũrũguo Jusufu ekuuga: Ngai nĩanduĩte mwathi wa bũrũri wa Misiri guothe. Ikũrũka ũũke kũrĩ niĩ; ndũgaikare.
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 is thine.
Ũgũtũũra bũrũri wa Gosheni na ũkorwo ũrĩ hakuhĩ na niĩ, wee na ciana ciaku, na ciana cia ciana ciaku, na ndũũru ciaku cia mbũri na cia ngʼombe, na kĩrĩa gĩothe ũrĩ nakĩo.
11 And I will maintain thee there; for there are yet five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
Kũu nĩkuo ndĩrĩgũteithagĩria tondũ kũrĩ na mĩaka ĩngĩ ĩtano ya ngʼaragu ĩtigarĩte. Kwaga ũguo wee na nyũmba yaku na andũ arĩa othe makwĩgiĩ nĩmũgũtuĩka athĩĩnĩki.’
12 And, behold, your own eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
“Inyuĩ nĩmũreyonera, o na Benjamini mũrũ wa maitũ akeyonera, atĩ nĩ niĩ mwene ndĩramwarĩria.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my honor in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall hasten and bring down my father hither.
Na mwĩre baba ũhoro wa gĩtĩĩo kĩrĩa gĩothe heetwo gũkũ Misiri, na ũrĩa wothe mwĩoneire, na mũikũrũkie baba gũkũ narua.”
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Ningĩ akĩhĩmbĩria mũrũ wa nyina Benjamini na akĩrĩra, o nake Benjamini akĩmũhĩmbĩria akĩrĩraga.
15 And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them; and after that his brothers spoke with him.
Na akĩmumunya ariũ a ithe othe na akĩmahĩmbĩria akĩrĩraga. Thuutha ũcio ariũ a ithe makĩaranĩria nake.
16 And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers are come; and it was pleasing in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants.
Na rĩrĩa ũhoro ũcio waiguirwo nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki ya Firaũni, atĩ ariũ a ithe na Jusufu nĩmokĩte-rĩ, Firaũni na anene ake othe magĩkena.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brothers, This do ye; load your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Firaũni akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ĩra ariũ a thoguo atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩkai ũũ: Igĩrĩrai nyamũ cianyu mĩrigo mũcooke bũrũri wa Kaanani,
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me; and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
na mũndehere ithe wanyu na andũ a nyũmba cianyu. Na niĩ nĩngamũhe kũndũ kũrĩa kwega mũno bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri, na mũkenagĩre ũnoru wa bũrũri ũyũ.’
19 And thou art commanded, This do ye, take unto yourselves out of the land of Egypt wagons for your little ones, and for your wives, and take up your father, and come.
“Ningĩ nĩwathĩrĩrio ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Ĩkai ũũ: Oyai makaari mamwe kuuma gũkũ Misiri nĩ ũndũ wa ciana na atumia anyu, mũgĩĩre ithe wanyu mũũke.
20 And do ye feel no concern on account of your household goods; for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Na mũtigatindanĩre na indo cianyu tondũ maũndũ mothe marĩa mega mũno ma Misiri megũtuĩka manyu.’”
21 And the children of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh; and he gave them provision for the way.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ariũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka o ro ũguo. Jusufu akĩmahe makaari o ta ũrĩa Firaũni aathanĩte na agĩcooka akĩmahe rĩĩgu wa rũgendo rwao.
22 To all of them he gave to each changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Ningĩ akĩhe o mũndũ o mũndũ wao nguo njerũ, no Benjamini-rĩ, akĩmũhe betha magana matatũ, na nguo ithano cia kũgarũrĩra.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the best things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and other food for his father, for the journey.
Na indo ici nĩcio aatũmĩire ithe: Ndigiri ikũmi ikuuĩte indo iria njega mũno cia Misiri, na ndigiri ingĩ ikũmi cia mĩgoma ikuuĩte ngano na mĩgate na rĩĩgu wake wa rũgendo.
24 And he accompanied his brothers on the way, and they departed: and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.
Agĩcooka akiumagaria ariũ a ithe, na magĩthiĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanegenanie mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ!”
25 And they went out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩambata makiuma Misiri, magĩthiĩ magĩkinya kũrĩ ithe wao Jakubu kũu bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive; and that he is governor over all the land of Egypt. But his heart remained cold, for he believed them not.
Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jusufu arĩ o muoyo! Na nĩwe mwathi wa bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.” Jakubu akĩgegeara; akĩaga kũmetĩkia.
27 But when 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.
No rĩrĩa maamwĩrire maũndũ marĩa mothe Jusufu aamerĩte, na rĩrĩa onire makaari marĩa Jusufu aatũmĩte ma kũmũkuua mamũtware Misiri-rĩ, roho wa Jakubu ithe wao ũkĩarahũka.
28 And Israel said, Enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Nake Isiraeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkia! Mũrũ wakwa Jusufu arĩ o muoyo. Nĩngũthiĩ ngamuone itanakua.”
