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.
Jozefi akokaki lisusu komikanga te liboso ya bato nyonso oyo bazalaki liboso na ye, agangaki: « Bobimisa bato nyonso! » Boye, moto moko te azalaki pembeni na ye tango amimonisaki epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali.
2 And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard it.
Lokola alelaki na mongongo makasi, bato ya Ejipito bayokaki ye; mpe sango ekendeki kino na ndako ya Faraon.
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.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: — Nazali Jozefi! Tata na ngai azali nanu na bomoi? Kasi bandeko na ye bakokaki koyanola ye te, pamba te bazalaki kolenga liboso na ye.
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.
Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Bopusana pembeni na ngai! Tango bapusanaki, alobaki: — Nazali Jozefi, ndeko na bino ya mobali oyo botekaki mpo ete bamema ngai na Ejipito.
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.
Kasi sik’oyo, bomitungisa te mpe bozala na mawa te na ndenge botekaki ngai awa. Ezali mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bino nde Nzambe atindaki ngai liboso na bino.
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.
Oyo ezali mobu ya mibale wuta nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili; mpe na mibu mitano oyo ezali koya, bakolona te mpe bakobuka te.
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.
Kasi Nzambe atindaki ngai liboso na bino mpo ete bowumela na mokili mpe bobikisa bomoi na bino na nzela ya kokangolama monene.
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.
Ezali bino te bato botindaki ngai awa, kasi ezali nde Nzambe. Akomisaki ngai tata ya Faraon, nkolo ya ndako na ye mpe moyangeli ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
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.
Bozonga noki epai ya tata na ngai mpe boloba na ye: « Mwana na yo, Jozefi, alobi: ‹ Nzambe akomisa ngai nkolo ya Ejipito mobimba; yaka epai na ngai, kowumela te.
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.
Okovanda na etuka ya Gosheni mpe okozala pembeni na ngai: yo, bana na yo mpe bakitani na yo, bameme na yo, bantaba na yo, bangombe na yo mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango.
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.
Kuna, nakokokisa baposa na yo nyonso, pamba te mibu mitano ya nzala makasi ezali koya; soki te, yo elongo na bana na yo mpe bibwele na yo nyonso, bokokoma na pasi.
12 And, behold, your own eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
Bino moko bozali komona! Ndeko na ngai, Benjame, akoki mpe komona yango, ete ezali ngai moto nazali koloba na bino.
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.
Boyebisa tata na ngai lokumu nyonso oyo nazali na yango awa na Ejipito, boyebisa ye makambo nyonso oyo bosili komona mpe bomemela ngai ye awa na lombangu. › »
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Sima, amibwakaki na kingo ya ndeko na ye Benjame mpe alelaki; Benjame mpe akangaki ye na kingo, bongo alelaki.
15 And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them; and after that his brothers spoke with him.
Apesaki bandeko na ye nyonso beze mpe alelaki. Sima na yango, basololaki.
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.
Tango sango ekomaki na ndako ya Faraon ete bandeko ya Jozefi bayei, Faraon elongo na bakambi na ye nyonso basepelaki.
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;
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Yebisa bandeko na yo: « Botia biloko likolo ya banyama na bino mpe bozonga na mokili ya Kanana.
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.
Boyela ngai tata na bino mpe mabota na bino; nakopesa bino mabele oyo eleki kitoko kati na Ejipito mpe bokolia biloko na yango oyo eleki kitoko. »
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.
Okoyebisa bango lisusu: « Bozwa ndambo ya bashario ya Ejipito mpo na bana mpe basi na bino; bongo bozwa tata na bino mpe bozonga awa.
20 And do ye feel no concern on account of your household goods; for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Boyoka mawa te mpo na oyo bokotika na Kanana, pamba te biloko nyonso ya kitoko oyo ezali na Ejipito ekozala mpo na bino. »
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.
Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo oyo bayebisaki bango. Jozefi apesaki bango bashario ndenge Faraon apesaki mitindo mpe apesaki bango bilei mosusu mpo na mobembo na bango.
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.
Jozefi apesaki epai ya moko na moko kati na bango bilamba ya sika; apesaki Benjame mbongo ya bibende, nkama misato, elongo na bilamba ya sika.
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.
Atindelaki tata na ye biloko oyo: ba-ane zomi etonda na bilamba ya kitoko ya Ejipito mpe bampunda zomi ya basi etonda na ble, mapa mpe bilei mpo na mobembo na ye.
24 And he accompanied his brothers on the way, and they departed: and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.
Jozefi atikaki bandeko na ye kokende. Tango bazali kolongwa, alobaki na bango: — Boswana te na nzela.
25 And they went out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.
Balongwaki na Ejipito mpe bakendeki epai ya tata na bango Jakobi, na mokili ya Kanana.
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.
Balobaki na ye: — Jozefi azali nanu na bomoi. Ye nde moto azali koyangela Ejipito mobimba. Jakobi ayokaki nzoto malili mpe andimelaki bango te.
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.
Kasi tango bayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo Jozefi alobaki mpo na bango mpe tango amonaki bashario oyo Jozefi atindaki mpo na komema ye na Ejipito, molimo ya tata na bango Jakobi ezongaki.
28 And Israel said, Enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Mpe Isalaele alobaki: — Ya solo, nandimi ete mwana na ngai Jozefi azali nanu na bomoi; nakokende mpe nakomona ye liboso ete nakufa.
