Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood before him, so he cried out, "Send everyone away from me." So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
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 so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
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 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?" But his brothers couldn't answer him, for they were terrified 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 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." So they moved closer. And he said, "I am Joseph, your brother, whom you 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 do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent 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 the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
Ƒe eve koe nye esia dɔwuame la va, eye anɔ anyi wòade ƒe adre esime nuƒaƒã alo nuŋeŋe manɔ anyi o.
7 God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on 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 wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over 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 Now hurry and go up to my father and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Do not delay.
“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 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and everything that you have.
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 There I will provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, otherwise you and your household and all that you have would become destitute.
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 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to 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 So you must tell my father about all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. But you must hurry and bring my father down here."
“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 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
Tete wòde asi dzidzɔvifafa me. Ekpla asi kɔ na Benyamin, eye eya hã de asi avifafa me.
15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
Egbugbɔ nu na nɔviawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, eye wògafa dzidzɔvi. Azɔ ko hafi nɔviawo te ŋu ƒo nu.
16 Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh 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 to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter 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 Take your father and your families and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the richness 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 you are commanded, 'Do this: Take wagons from 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, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of 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 So the sons of Israel did that. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
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 He gave to all of them, to each one, a change of clothing. But to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
Etsɔ awu yeyewo na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ke etsɔ awudodo atɔ̃ kple klosalo alafa atɔ̃ na Benyamin.
23 To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and food and provision for his father on the journey.
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 brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
Ale wòdo mɔ nɔviawo. Nya mamlɛtɔ si Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo lae nye, “Migawɔ dzre le mɔa dzi o hee!”
25 So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
Ale wodzo le Egipte trɔ yi Kanaanyigba dzi le wo fofo Yakob gbɔ.
26 And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was unmoved, because he did not believe them.
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 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob 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 Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
Israel gblɔ be, “Nyateƒee, vinye Yosef le agbe, mayi aɖakpɔe ɖa hafi aku.”
