< Genesis 45 >

1 And Joseph has not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calls, “Put out every man from me”; and no man has stood with him when Joseph makes himself known to 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 gives forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh hears.
Na akĩrĩra anĩrĩire o nginya andũ a Misiri makĩmũigua, o na andũ a nyũmba ya Firaũni makĩigua ũhoro wa kĩrĩro kĩu.
3 And Joseph says to his brothers, “I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?” And his brothers have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled 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 says to his brothers, “Please come near to me,” and they come near; and he says, “I [am] your brother Joseph, whom you 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 and now, do not be grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that you sold me here, for God has sent me before you to preserve life.
Na rĩu, mũtigathĩĩnĩke kana mwĩrakarĩre nĩkũnyendia gũkũ, tondũ nĩ Ngai wandũmire njũke mbere yanyu nĩgeetha honokie mĩoyo.
6 Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet five years [remain in] which there is neither plowing nor harvest;
Handũ-inĩ ha mĩaka ĩĩrĩ rĩu gũkoretwo na ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ, na mĩaka ĩtano ĩgũũka gũtigũkorwo na kũrĩma kana kũgetha.
7 and God sends me before you, to place a remnant of you in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
No Ngai aandũmire mbere yanyu nĩguo ndũme matigari manyu matũũre gũkũ thĩ, na honokie mĩoyo yanyu na kũhonokania kũnene.
8 and now, you have not sent me here, but God, and He sets me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over 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 Hurry, and go up to my father, then you have said to him, Thus said your son Joseph: God has set me for lord to all Egypt; come down to me, do not stay,
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 you have dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near to me, you and your sons, and your son’s sons, and your flock, and your herd, and all that you have,
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 have nourished you there—for yet [are] five years of famine—lest you become poor, you and your household, and all that you have.
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 eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking to you;
“Inyuĩ nĩmũreyonera, o na Benjamini mũrũ wa maitũ akeyonera, atĩ nĩ niĩ mwene ndĩramwarĩria.
13 and you have declared to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all that you have seen, and you have hurried, and have brought down my father here.”
Na mwĩre baba ũhoro wa gĩtĩĩo kĩrĩa gĩothe heetwo gũkũ Misiri, na ũrĩa wothe mwĩoneire, na mũikũrũkie baba gũkũ narua.”
14 And he falls on the neck of his brother Benjamin, and weeps, and Benjamin has wept on his neck;
Ningĩ akĩhĩmbĩria mũrũ wa nyina Benjamini na akĩrĩra, o nake Benjamini akĩmũhĩmbĩria akĩrĩraga.
15 and he kisses all his brothers, and weeps over them; and afterward his brothers have spoken with him.
Na akĩmumunya ariũ a ithe othe na akĩmahĩmbĩria akĩrĩraga. Thuutha ũcio ariũ a ithe makĩaranĩria nake.
16 And the sound has been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Joseph have come”; and it is good 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 says to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, This you do: load your beasts, and go, enter 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 to me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and you 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 Indeed, you have been commanded: this you do, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, wagons for your infants, and for your wives, and you have brought 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 your eye has no pity on your vessels, for the good 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 sons of Israel do so, and Joseph gives wagons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he gives to 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 has he given—to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he has given three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of garments;
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 has sent thus: ten donkeys carrying of the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread, even food for his father for the way.
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 sends his brothers away, and they go; and he says to them, “Do not be angry in the way.”
Agĩcooka akiumagaria ariũ a ithe, na magĩthiĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanegenanie mũrĩ njĩra-inĩ!”
25 And they go up out of Egypt, and come to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩambata makiuma Misiri, magĩthiĩ magĩkinya kũrĩ ithe wao Jakubu kũu bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani.
26 and they declare to him, saying, “Joseph [is] yet alive,” and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceases, for he has not given credence to them.
Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jusufu arĩ o muoyo! Na nĩwe mwathi wa bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.” Jakubu akĩgegeara; akĩaga kũmetĩkia.
27 And they speak to him all the words of Joseph, which he has spoken to them, and he sees the wagons which Joseph has sent to carry him away, and the spirit of their father Jacob lives;
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 says, “Enough! My son Joseph [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.”
Nake Isiraeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkia! Mũrũ wakwa Jusufu arĩ o muoyo. Nĩngũthiĩ ngamuone itanakua.”
