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.
Jozèf pa t' kapab kenbe ankò devan tout moun ki t'ap sèvi l' yo. Li di byen fò: -Fè tout moun soti. Se konsa, pesonn pa t' la avèk Jozèf lè li fè frè l' yo rekonèt li.
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.
Li te pran kriye byen fò, tèlman fò moun peyi Lejip yo te tande l'. Bri a te rive jouk lakay farawon an.
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.
Jozèf di frè l' yo: -Se mwen menm Jozèf. Eske papa m' vivan toujou? Men frè l' yo pa t' kapab reponn li paske yo te boulvèse lè yo wè l' devan yo.
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!
Jozèf di frè l' yo: -Pwoche vin pi pre m'. Yo pwoche, li di yo: -Se mwen menm Jozèf wi, frè nou an. Se mwen menm wi nou te vann bay moun ki tapral peyi Lejip la.
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.
Men koulye a, nou pa bezwen boulvèse. Nou pa bezwen règrèt nou te vann mwen pou yo mennen m' isit la. Se Bondye ki te voye m' devan pou m' te ka sove lavi nou.
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.
Sa fè dezan depi grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Men, p'ap gen mwayen travay latè ni fè rekòt pou senk lanne ankò.
7 But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
Bondye te voye m' vini devan pou ras nou an pa t' fini nan peyi a, pou m' te ka sove lavi nou, pou nou pa mouri.
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!
Nou wè. Se pa nou menm ki te voye m' isit la, men se Bondye. Se Bondye menm ki mete m' sèvi yon papa pou farawon an. Mwen se chèf nan tout kay li, se mwen k'ap gouvènen tout peyi Lejip la.
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!
Koulye a, prese tounen kay papa m'. Al di l': Men sa Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan, voye di l': Bondye mete m' chèf sou tout peyi Lejip la. Desann vin jwenn mwen. Pa mize.
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.
Ou pral rete nan peyi Gochenn. Konsa, w'a toupre m', ou menm ansanm ak pitit ou yo, pitit pitit ou yo, mouton ou yo, bèf ou yo ak tout sa ou genyen.
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]”’
Lè wa Gochenn, m'a pran swen ou, paske grangou a la pou senk lanne ankò.
12 “Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
Koulye a, nou wè, pa vre. Benjamen, frè m' lan, wè tout se mwen menm menm Jozèf k'ap pale ak nou an.
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!”
Fè papa m' konnen jan moun respekte m' isit nan peyi Lejip. Rakonte l' tou sa nou wè. Prese mennen papa m' desann isit la.
14 Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
Epi li lage kò l' nan bra Benjamen, frè li a, li konmanse kriye ankò. Benjamen tout t'ap kriye sou zepòl li.
15 And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
Apre sa, li bo tout frè li yo, li t'ap kriye toujou. Lèfini, frè l' yo pran pale ak li.
16 Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
Lè moun lakay farawon yo vin konnen frè Jozèf yo te vini, sa te fè farawon an ak chèf li yo kontan.
17 The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
Farawon an di Jozèf konsa: -Pale ak frè ou yo. Di yo men sa pou yo fè: Chaje bèt yo, ale nan peyi Kanaran.
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.’
Lè y'a rive, y'a pran papa yo ak tout fanmi yo, y'a tounen vin jwenn mwen. m'a ba yo pi bon tè ki nan peyi Lejip la pou fè jaden. Y'a manje pi bon manje ki gen nan peyi a.
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.
Ou menm poutèt pa ou, w'a di yo sa pou yo fè. Y'a pran kèk cha nan peyi Lejip la pou timoun yo ak madanm yo. Y'a mennen papa yo vini.
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.’”
Yo pa bezwen règrèt kite anyen, paske se pi bon bagay nan tout peyi Lejip la m'ap ba yo.
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.
Se sa menm pitit Izrayèl yo te fè. Jozèf ba yo kèk cha jan farawon an te ba li lòd la. Li ba yo pwovizyon pou fè vwayaj la.
22 To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
Li ba yo chak yon rad tout nèf. Men, li bay Benjamen twasan (300) pyès lajan ak senk rad nèf.
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.
Apre sa, li pran dis mal bourik chaje ak pi bon bagay ki te nan peyi Lejip la, dis fenmèl bourik chaje ak ble ak pen ak tout kalite lòt pwovizyon ankò, li voye bay papa l' pou l' ka fè vwayaj la.
24 Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
Lè l'ap voye frè l' yo pati, li di yo: -Piga nou chache kont yonn ak lòt nan chemen an, tande.
25 So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
Yo kite peyi Lejip, yo rive Kanaran lakay Jakòb, papa yo.
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.
Yo di l': -Papa, Jozèf la toujou wi. Se li menm k'ap gouvènen peyi Lejip la wi. Men, Jakòb rete tout frèt, paske li pa t' kwè yo.
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.
Men, lè yo rakonte l' tout sa Jozèf te di yo, lè li wè cha Jozèf te voye pou l' te ka vwayaje a, Jakòb gen yon sèl kontantman ki pran l'.
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!”
Li di yo: -Se kont. Jozèf, pitit mwen an, vivan toujou. Fòk m ale pou m' ka wè l' anvan m' mouri.
