< Genesis 45 >

1 And Joseph could not restrain himself before all who were stationed near him, so he cried out—Have forth every man from me! And there stood no man with him, when Joseph made himself known unto his brethren,
Yusuf rena nala Yahuda oꞌola na, rala na noe rau-rau nda naꞌatataaꞌ sia pagau nara mata nara sa. De ana denu se dea reu, fo hela mesaꞌ ne no odꞌi-aꞌa nara. Ana nae nafadꞌe eni ia, seka.
2 Then gave he forth his voice in weeping, —and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Paggau nara basa se dea reu, ma Yusuf nggae nahereꞌ, losa atahori Masir mana sia kama a deaꞌ, rena. Ma atahori mana sia maneꞌ a ume na, o rena boe.
3 Then said Joseph unto his brethren: I, am Joseph, is my father yet alive? But his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified because of him.
Basa de, Yusuf nafadꞌe relo-relo odꞌi-aꞌa nara nae, “We! Odꞌi-aꞌa re. Au ia Yusuf, hei toronoo ma. Amaꞌ feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ, to?” Odꞌi-aꞌa nara rena taꞌo naa ma, ramatau rala seli, losa nda ola-olaꞌ rala saa saꞌ boe.
4 Then said Joseph unto his brethren—Draw near I pray you, unto me. And they drew near. And he said—I, am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Boe ma Yusuf noꞌe se nae, “We! Ima deka-deka ia dei.” Ara reu deka Yusuf. Ma ana olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Au ia Yusuf, fo maꞌahulu na hei seo neu atahori Masir ra.
5 But, now, do not grieve, neither let it be vexing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither, —for, to save life, did God send me before you.
Hei memaꞌ seo hendi au ena. Te afiꞌ mimitau, ma afiꞌ mireresi esa fee salaꞌ neu esa fai. Matetu na, Lamatualain mana no au ia uma uꞌuhuluꞌ mia hei e. Onaꞌ naa, Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori naeꞌ huu au. Fo ara afiꞌ mate ndoes.
6 For these two years, hath the famine been in the midst of the land, —and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, nor harvest.
Ndoe-laꞌas feꞌe laoꞌ too rua ia. Feꞌe hela too lima fai. Atahori nda aꞌali rae sa, nda sela nggari sa, de nda hambu mbule-bꞌoaꞌ saa saꞌ boe.
7 So then God sent me before you, to plant for you a remainder in the earth, —and to save you alive, by a great deliverance,
No dalaꞌ fo hita nda tahineꞌ sa ia, Lamatualain no au uꞌuhuluꞌ hei. Naa fo hambu ruma mia hei ma umbu-ana mara, rasodꞌa.
8 Now, therefore it was not ye, who sent me hither, but, God, himself, —who also appointed me to be a father to Pharaoh, and a lord to all his house, and a ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Matetu na, nda hei tatao ma de au sia ia sa, te Lamatualain tatao Na. Naa de au dadꞌi fetor sia Masir ia. De au dadꞌi malangga mana tao ues sia maneꞌ a ume panggat na. Nda hambu atahori lenaꞌ au sa.
9 Haste ye and go up unto my father, then shall ye say unto him—Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath appointed me lord to all Egypt, —come down unto me do not delay;
De ia naa, hei baliꞌ lai-lai leo, fo mifadꞌe au oꞌola ngga ia neu amaꞌ mae, ‘Amaꞌ ana na Yusuf feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ. Ana dadꞌi atahori malangga sia Masir. Ana noꞌe amaꞌ Masir neu lai-lai.
10 so shalt thou dwell in the land of Goshen, and shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, —and thy flocks and thy herds and all that is thine;
Dei fo amaꞌ leo sia Masir sia mamana esa naran Gosen, deka no e. Mamanaꞌ naa maloleꞌ ma loaꞌ. De amaꞌ bisa naꞌaboi bibꞌi lombo mara sia naa, ma basa hiek no sapi ra. Ana o noꞌe fo amaꞌ muu mo umbu-ana mara, ume isi mara, no basa hata-heto mara fo leo siaꞌ a naa.
11 so will I sustain thee, there, for there are yet five years of famine, —lest thou come to poverty—thou and thy house and all who are thine.
Mete ma amaꞌ sia Gosen, naa, ana naꞌaboi amaꞌ sia naa. Ndoe-laꞌas feꞌe too lima fai. Dei fo ana tao fo amaꞌ no bobꞌonggiꞌ mara, basa banda ra nda kuran saa saꞌ boe.’”
12 Now lo! your own eyes do see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, —that it is my own mouth, that doth speak unto you.
Yusuf nafadꞌe basa boe, ana olaꞌ fai nae, “Ia naa, hei mita ena, to? Ma ho, Benyamin, mita, to? Au ia, memaꞌ Yusuf.
13 As soon as ye have told my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, so soon shall ye hasten and bring down my father hither.
De mifadꞌe hita ama na mae, au koasa ngga monaeꞌ sia Masir. Boe ma dui basa-bꞌasa saa fo hei mitaꞌ ia neu amaꞌ. Basa fo, mo amaꞌ lai-lai ia nema leo!”
14 Then fell he upon the neck of Benjamin his brother, and wept, —and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Basa boe ma, ana holu odꞌi na Benyamin, de rua se nggae.
15 Then kissed he all his brethren, and wept upon them, —and, thereafter, his brethren spake with him.
Ana o holu odꞌi-aꞌa nara, de idꞌu se esa-esaꞌ. Dei de, ara feꞌe ola-olaꞌ ro e.
16 Now, the report, was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, The brethren of Joseph have come in, And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Basa naa ma, maneꞌ a no basa pagau nara rena Yusuf odꞌi-aꞌa nara rema, de basa se ramahoꞌo.
17 So then Pharaoh said unto Joseph—Say unto thy brethren This, do, —lade your asses, and go enter into the land of Canaan;
De maneꞌ a olaꞌ no Yusuf nae, “Yusuf, e! Mufadꞌe odꞌi-aꞌa mara fo ara fua are nara reu keledei leo, fo rendi Kanaꞌan neu.
18 and fetch your father and your households and come in unto me, —that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.
Denu se rema ro ama ma, no basa bobꞌonggi nara, fo ara lali ia rema leo. Dei fo fee se rae meulauꞌ sia Masir, fo ara rasodꞌa sia naa, ma raa rae minan.
19 Thou, therefore command them, This, do ye, —Take you out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your little ones and for your wives, so shall ye bring your father and come in.
Boe ma nafadꞌe se, fo rendi memaꞌ kareta hira mia ia, fo fua neu anadikiꞌ ra ro ama ma.
20 Your eye, moreover, let it not look with pity upon your goods, —for, the best of all the land of Egypt, is, yours.
Afiꞌ duꞌa mendi basa hata-hetoꞌ ra, te basa maloleꞌ mana sia Masir ia, dei fo sira hambu se.”
21 And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh, —and gave them provisions for the way:
Maneꞌ a olaꞌ basa ma, Yusuf fee se kareta hira ma lepa-ngges, tungga maneꞌ a parenda na. De odꞌi-aꞌa nara raꞌalilinuꞌ fo baliꞌ tungga maneꞌ a parenda na.
22 to all of them, gave he to each man changes of raiment, —but, to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Yusuf o fee se, bua-baꞌus feuꞌ pasan beꞌe esaꞌ. Te ana fee Benyamin doi fulaꞌ natun telu, ma bua feuꞌ pasan lima.
23 Moreover, to his father, sent he as followeth—ten he-asses, laden from the best of Egypt, —and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and nourishing food for his father for the way.
Ana haitua fee ama na sudꞌi a saa meulauꞌ mia Masir, de fua neu kaledei mone sanahulu. Ana o fee seluꞌ, are, roti, ma nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ, sia keledei ine sanahulu fai, fo dadꞌi lepa-ngges baliꞌ Masir rema.
24 Thus sent he forth his brethren and they departed, —and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.
Basa ma, ana fee se baliꞌ, ma nafadꞌe se nae, “Hei afiꞌ mireresi sia dalaꞌ e!”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, —and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.
Boe ma ara lao baliꞌ risiꞌ ama na sia Kanaꞌan.
26 And they told him saying—Joseph: is, yet alive, yea, indeed, he, is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart became faint, for he believed them not.
Losa naa ma, rafadꞌe ama na rae, “Amaꞌ e! Ana ma Yusuf feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ. Ana dadꞌi atahori monaeꞌ, de parenda sia Masir!” Yakob rena ma, ana titindindi, de nda namahere oꞌola nara sa.
27 So they spake unto him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken unto them h then saw he the waggons, which Joseph had sent to carry him, —and the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Te ara rafadꞌe basa Yusuf oꞌola na ma, Yakob nita kareta fo Yusuf haitua nema nae fua no e nisiꞌ Masir, dei de feꞌe namahere na.
28 And Israel said, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet alive, I must go and see him before I die!
Ana olaꞌ nae, “Awi! Au ana ngga feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ o! Taꞌo naa dei de au feꞌe umuhoꞌo na. Au musi uu seꞌu-ita dei, dei fo au feꞌe mate no maloleꞌ.”
