Genesis 45
1 Joseph was not able to control his feelings any longer. He did not want to cry in front of his servants, so he said to them loudly, “All of you go outside!” After they went outside, there was no one else there with Joseph when he told his brothers who he was.
Tsono Yosefe sanathenso kuwugwira mtima kuti asalire pamaso pa antchito ake ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Aliyense achoke pamaso panga!” Motero panalibe wina aliyense pamene Yosefe anadziwulula kwa abale ake.
2 He cried so loudly that the people of Egypt who were outside heard it, and even the people in the king’s palace heard it.
Ndipo analira mokweza mwakuti Aigupto anamva. Onse a ku nyumba kwa Farao anamvanso za zimenezi.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said.
Yosefe anati kwa abale ake, “Ine ndine Yosefe! Kodi abambo anga akanali ndi moyo?” Koma abale ake sanathe kumuyankha chifukwa anali ndi mantha kwambiri pamaso pake.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt!
Ndipo Yosefe anati kwa abale ake, “Senderani pafupi nane.” Atasendera iye anati, “Ine ndine mʼbale wanu Yosefe amene munamugulitsa ku Igupto!
5 But now, do not be distressed, and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me to people who brought me here, because it was to save you from dying [because of the famine] that God sent me here ahead of you.
Ndipo tsopano, musawawidwe mtima kapena kudzipsera mtima chifukwa choti munandigulitsa ine kuno, popeza Mulungu ananditsogoza ine kuti adzapulumutse miyoyo yanu.
6 There has been a famine in this country for two years, and it will continue for five more years, so that no one will plow ground, and there will be no crops to harvest.
Kwa zaka ziwiri tsopano, kwakhala kuli njala mʼdziko muno, ndipo kwa zaka zisanu zikubwerazi, anthu sadzalima kapena kukolola.
7 But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
Koma Mulungu ananditsogoza kuti adzakusungeni ndi moyo ndi kuti mudzakhale ndi zidzukulu pa dziko lapansi.
8 Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt!
“Motero, si inu amene munanditumiza kuno koma Mulungu. Iye anandisandutsa kukhala nduna yayikulu ya Farao, ndipo zonse za mʼnyumba mwake zili mʼmanja mwangamu. Komanso amene akulamulira dziko lonse la Igupto ndi ine.
9 Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately!
Tsono fulumirani mubwerere kwa abambo anga ndi kuwawuza kuti, ‘Mwana wanu Yosefe akuti, Mulungu anandisandutsa kukhala mbuye wa dziko lonse la Igupto. Ndiye bwerani kuno musachedwe.
10 You can live in the Goshen region. You and your children and your grandchildren, your sheep and goats and cattle, and everything that you own, will be near me.
Ndipo inu, ana anu, zidzukulu zanu, pamodzi ndi nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zanu ndi antchito anu amene muli nawo muzidzakhala mʼdziko la Goseni pafupi ndi ine.
11 Since there will be five more years of famine, I will make sure that you have food. If you do not come here, you and your family and all of your servants will starve. [EUP]”’
Ine ndizidzakupatsani zakudya kumeneko chifukwa zaka zisanu za njala zikubwera ndithu. Kupanda kutero, inu ndi mabanja anu pamodzi ndi anthu anu onse mudzasowa chakudya.’
12 “Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
“Tsono inu nonse pamodzi ndi mʼbale wangayu Benjamini, mukuona kuti ndi inedi amene ndikuyankhula nanu.
13 Go and tell my father about how greatly I am honored here in Egypt. And tell him about everything else that you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly!”
Mukawawuze abambo anga kuti ndili pa ulemerero ku dziko la Igupto kuno ndi zonse zimene mwaziona. Tsopano fulumirani kuti mukabwere nawo kuno abambo anga.”
14 Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
Kenaka Yosefe anakhumbatira Benjamini, mngʼono wake uja nayamba kulira. Nayenso Benjamini anayamba kulira atamukumbatira.
15 And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
Atatero, Yosefe anapsompsona abale ake onse aja, akulira. Pambuyo pake abale ake aja anacheza ndi Yosefe.
16 Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
Akunyumba kwa Farao atamva kuti abale ake a Yosefe abwera, Farao pamodzi ndi nduna zake zonse anakondwera.
17 The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
Farao anati kwa Yosefe, “Uwawuze abale ako kuti, ‘Senzetsani nyama zanu katundu ndi kubwerera ku dziko la Kanaani.
18 Then bring your father and your families back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
Mukabwere nawo abambo anu ndi mabanja anu kuno, ndipo ine ndidzakupatsani dera lachonde kwambiri mʼdziko la Igupto. Mudzadya zokoma za mʼdzikoli.’”
19 “Also tell this to your brothers: ‘Take some carts from Egypt to carry your children and your wives, and get them and your father and come back here quickly.
“Uwawuzenso kuti, ‘Tengani ngolo zingapo za kuno ku Igupto kuti mukakwezepo ana anu, akazi anu pamodzi ndi abambo ako ndi kubwera nawo kuno.
20 Do not worry about bringing your possessions, because the best things in Egypt will be yours. Because of that, you will not need to bring any of your things from Canaan.’”
Musadandaule zosiya katundu komweko chifukwa dziko lachonde la kuno ku Igupto lidzakhala lanu.’”
21 Jacob’s sons did what the king suggested. Joseph gave them carts and food to eat along the way, as the king had ordered.
Choncho ana a Israeli anachita zimenezo. Yosefe anawapatsa ngolo monga Farao analamulira, ndipo anawapatsanso chakudya cha paulendo wawo.
22 To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
Anaperekanso kwa aliyense zovala zatsopano, koma kwa Benjamini anapereka siliva wolemera pafupifupi makilogalamu anayi ndi zovala zisanu.
23 And this is what he sent to his father: Ten male donkeys, loaded with some of the best goods that come from Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other food for his father’s trip to Egypt.
Ndipo abambo ake anawatumizira izi: abulu khumi osenza zinthu zabwino kwambiri za ku Igupto, ndi abulu aakazi khumi osenza tirigu, buledi ndi zakudya zina za pa ulendo wake.
24 Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
Kenaka anawalola abale ake aja kuti azipita, ndipo akunyamuka, iye anawawuza kuti, “Osakangana mʼnjira!”
25 So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
Ndipo anachoka ku Igupto nafika kwa abambo awo Yakobo mʼdziko la Kanaani.
26 One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true.
Iwo anawuza abambo awo kuti, “Yosefe akanali ndi moyo! Ndiponsotu, ndiye akulamulira dziko la Igupto.” Yakobo anangoti kakasi osankhulupirira.
27 But they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him and his family and possessions to Egypt. Then their father Jacob’s shock ended.
Komabe atamufotokozera zonse zimene Yosefe anawawuza ndipo ataona ngolo zimene Yosefe anatumiza kuti adzakweremo popita ku Igupto, mtima wa Yakobo, abambo awo unatsitsimuka.
28 He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!”
Ndipo Israeli anati, “Ndatsimikizadi! Mwana wanga Yosefe akanali ndi moyodi. Ndipita ndikamuone ndisanafe.”
