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.
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 wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
Lokola alelaki na mongongo makasi, bato ya Ejipito bayokaki ye; mpe sango ekendeki kino na ndako ya Faraon.
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.
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 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.
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 Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
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 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.
Oyo ezali mobu ya mibale wuta nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili; mpe na mibu mitano oyo ezali koya, bakolona te mpe bakobuka te.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 You shall dwell in the land of Gesen, 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.
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 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.
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 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
Bino moko bozali komona! Ndeko na ngai, Benjame, akoki mpe komona yango, ete ezali ngai moto nazali koloba na bino.
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."
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 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
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 on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
Apesaki bandeko na ye nyonso beze mpe alelaki. Sima na yango, basololaki.
16 Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and 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 to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter 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 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.'
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 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.
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 Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
Jozefi atikaki bandeko na ye kokende. Tango bazali kolongwa, alobaki na bango: — Boswana te na nzela.
25 So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
Balongwaki na Ejipito mpe bakendeki epai ya tata na bango Jakobi, na mokili ya Kanana.
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.
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 to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob 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 Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still 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.
