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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa taʻofi ia ʻe Siosefa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu ʻo ofi kiate ia; pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata kotoa pē meiate au.” Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻi he fakahā ia ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua.
2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
Pea naʻe tangi kalanga ia; pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite mo e fale ʻo Felo.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Ko Siosefa au: ʻoku kei moʻui ʻeku tamai? Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa tali ia ʻe hono ngaahi tokoua; he kuo nau puputuʻu ʻi hono ʻao.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, mou ʻunuʻunu mai kiate au.” Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu atu, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Siosefa au, ko homou tokoua, ʻaia naʻa mou fakatau ki ʻIsipite.
5 Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Pea ko eni ʻoua naʻa mou mamahi, pe ʻita kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fakatau au ki heni: he naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtua, ke u muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui.
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.
He ko hono ua taʻu eni, mo e hongea ʻae fonua: pea ʻoku toe ʻae taʻu ʻe nima ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha tō taʻu pe ko e ututaʻu.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtua ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamoʻui homou hako ʻi māmani, ke fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui, ʻi he fakamoʻui lahi.
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.
Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai ko kimoutolu naʻe fekau au ki heni, ka ko e ʻOtua: pea kuo ne ngaohi au ko e tamai kia Felo, mo e ʻeiki ki hono fale kotoa pē, pea mo e pule ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
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.
“Mou fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo ʻalu ki heʻeku tamai, pea mou pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku lea pehē ho foha ko Siosefa, Kuo ngaohi au ʻe he ʻOtua ko e ʻeiki ki ʻIsipite kotoa pē; ke ke haʻu kiate au, ʻoua naʻa tatali.
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.
Pea te ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni, pea te ke ofi kiate au, ʻa koe mo hoʻo fānau, mo e fānau ʻa hoʻo fānau, mo hoʻo fanga manu, mo hoʻo fanga sipi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu.
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.
Pea te u fafanga koe ʻi ai; he ʻoku kei toe ʻae taʻu ʻe nima ʻoe honge: telia naʻa masiva koe mo hoʻo kau nofoʻanga, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu.’”
12 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
Pea vakai, ʻoku mamata ʻa homou mata, pea mo e mata ʻo hoku tehina ko Penisimani, ko hoku ngutu ia ʻoku lea kiate kimoutolu.
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."
Pea te mou tala ki heʻeku tamai hoku nāunau kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsipite, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē kuo mou mamata ki ai; pea te mou fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo ʻomi ʻeku tamai ki heni.
14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
Pea naʻa ne faʻaki ki he kia ʻo hono tehina ko Penisimani ʻo tangi; pea tangi ʻe Penisimani ki hono kia.
15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
Pea ʻuma ia ki hono ngaahi tokoua kotoa pē, ʻo fāʻufua mo tangi kiate kinautolu; pea hili ia ne nau fealēleaʻaki mo hono ngaahi tokoua.
16 Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
Pea naʻe ongo ʻae meʻa ni ki he fale ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ʻae ngaahi tokoua ʻo Siosefa: pea naʻe fiefia lahi ai ʻa Felo, pea mo hono kau nofoʻanga.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, Ke ke lea pehē ki ho kāinga, Mou fai ʻae meʻa ni; hilifaki ʻae koane ki hoʻomou fanga manu, pea mou mole leva ki he fonua ko Kēnani;
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.'
Pea ʻomi hoʻomou tamai mo hoʻomou ngaahi kau nofoʻanga ʻo haʻu kiate au; pea te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea te mou kai ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua.
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.
Pea ko eni, kuo mou maʻu ʻae fekau, pea mou fai eni: pea mou ʻave ʻae ngaahi saliote mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou tamaiki, mo homou ngaahi uaifi, pea mou ʻomi hoʻomou tamai, pea haʻu.
20 Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
Pea ʻoua naʻa tokanga foki ki hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa: he ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite kotoa.”
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.
Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea foaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi saliote kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Felo, ʻo ne ʻatu honau ʻoho ki he hala.
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.
Naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu, ki he tangata taki taha ʻae ngaahi kofu, ka naʻa ne foaki kia Penisimani ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungeau, mo e ngaahi kofu kotoa kehekehe ʻe nima.
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.
Pea ne tuku ʻae meʻa ko eni ki heʻene tamai; ko e ʻasi ʻe hongofulu kuo fakaheka ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ko e ʻasi fefine ʻe hongofulu kuo fakaheka ki ai ʻae koane, mo e mā, mo e meʻakai ko e ʻoho ki heʻene tamai ʻi he hala.
24 So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
Pea ne tuku hono ngaahi tokoua kenau ʻalu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ke ʻoua naʻa mou kē ʻi he hala.”
25 So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ʻIsipite, ʻo hoko ki he fonua ko Kēnani, kia Sēkope ko ʻenau tamai,
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.
ʻonau talaange kiate ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku kei moʻui ʻa Siosefa, pea ko e pule ia ʻoe fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.” Pea lele ai ʻae moʻui ʻo Sēkope, he naʻe ʻikai te ne tui kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa Siosefa, ʻaia naʻa ne tala kiate kinautolu; pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he ngaahi saliote naʻe fekau ʻe Siosefa ke fetuku ia, naʻe toe moʻui ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻenau tamai ko Sēkope:
28 Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli, “Maʻuā, ʻoku kei moʻui hoku foha ko Siosefa: te u ʻalu ʻo mamata kiate ia ʻi he teʻeki ai teu mate.”
