Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all the servants who stood by him. He said loudly, “Everyone must leave me.” So no servant stood by him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Yosef magate ŋu aɖu eɖokui dzi azɔ o. Eɖe gbe na eŋumewo katã be, “Ame sia ame nado go.” Ale eya kple nɔviawo koe susɔ.
2 He wept loudly, the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard of it.
Tete wòde asi avifafa me sesĩe. Egiptetɔwo se eƒe avifafa le fiasã la me, eye eƒe avifafa ƒe nya ɖo Fia Farao ƒe fiasã me enumake.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers could not answer him, for they were shocked in his presence.
Egblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Nyee nye Yosef! Fofonye gale agbea?” Ke nɔviawo lulũ ale gbegbe be womete ŋu ke nu o.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Mite va gbɔnye.” Ale wote ɖe eŋu. Egagblɔ na wo be, “Nyee nye Yosef, mia nɔvi, ame si miedzra wokplɔ dzoe yi Egipte!
5 Do not be grieved or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.
Gake migado dɔmedzoe ɖe mia ɖokuiwo ŋu be yewowɔ nu sia ɖe ŋunye o, elabena Mawue wɔe! Eɖom ɖe afi sia do ŋgɔ na mi, ale be mate ŋu aɖe miaƒe agbe.
6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
Ƒe eve koe nye esia dɔwuame la va, eye anɔ anyi wòade ƒe adre esime nuƒaƒã alo nuŋeŋe manɔ anyi o.
7 God sent me ahead of you to preserve you as a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.
Mawu ɖom ɖe afi sia be mana miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo miatsi agbe, ale be miate ŋu azu dukɔ gã aɖe.
8 So now it was not you who sent me here but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, master of all his house, and ruler of all the land of Egypt.
“Ɛ̃, Mawue ɖom ɖe afi sia, menye miawoe o. Ewɔm aɖaŋuɖolae na Farao, eye wòna mezu dzikpɔla na dukɔ la katã kple Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ɖula.
9 Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me master of all Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay.
“Miɖe abla miayi fofonye gbɔ, eye miagblɔ nɛ be viwò Yosef be, ‘Mawu ɖom amegãe ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi. Va gbɔnye fifi laa!
10 You will live in the land of Goshen, and you will be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.
Ànɔ Gosen ƒe anyigba dzi, ale be wò kple viwòwo katã, wò tɔgbuiyɔviwo, wò lãwo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò la, miate ɖe ŋunye.
11 I will provide for you there, for there are still five years of famine, so that you do not come to poverty, you, your household, and all that you have.”'
Makpɔ dziwò le afi ma, elabena ƒe atɔ̃ ƒe dɔwuame gale mía ŋgɔ. Ne menye nenema o la, wò kple wò aƒemetɔwo kple ame siwo katã nye tɔwòwo la, miazu dɔwuitɔwo.’
12 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
“Miawo ŋutɔ miate ŋu akpɔe, eye nenema ke nɔvinye Benyamin hã, be nye tututue nye ame si le nu ƒom na mi la.
13 You will tell my father about all my honor in Egypt and of all that you have seen. You will hurry and bring my father down here.”
“Migblɔ ŋusẽ si le asinye le Egipte kple ale si ame sia ame ɖoa tom la na mía fofo, eye miakplɔe vɛ nam kaba.”
14 He hugged his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Tete wòde asi dzidzɔvifafa me. Ekpla asi kɔ na Benyamin, eye eya hã de asi avifafa me.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them. After that his brothers talked with him.
Egbugbɔ nu na nɔviawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, eye wògafa dzidzɔvi. Azɔ ko hafi nɔviawo te ŋu ƒo nu.
16 The news of the matter was told in Pharaoh's house: “Joseph's brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh and his servants very much.
Nya la ɖo Farao gbɔ be, “Yosef nɔviwo va.” Esi Farao kple eŋumewo se nya sia la, dzi dzɔ wo ŋutɔ.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan.
Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Gblɔ na nɔviwòwo be woado agba na woƒe tedziwo enumake, atrɔ ayi wo de le Kanaan kaba,
18 Get your father and your households and come to me. I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'
eye woakplɔ mia fofo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo katã ava Egipte, ale be woanɔ afi sia. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Farao ana teƒe nyuitɔ kekeake wo le Egipte. Mianɔ agbe ɖe anyigba sia ƒe nu nyuiwo dzi!’
19 Now you are commanded, 'Do this, take carts out of the land of Egypt for your children and for your wives. Get your father and come.
Gblɔ na nɔviwòwo be woatsɔ tasiaɖamwo tso Egipte be woakɔ wo srɔ̃wo kple ɖeviwo, eye woakplɔ wo fofo va afi sia.
20 Do not be concerned about your possessions, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.'”
Migatsi dzi ɖe nu siwo le mia si la ŋu o, elabena Egipte ƒe anyigba nyuitɔ zu mia tɔ.”
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
Yosef tsɔ tasiaɖamwo na Israel ƒe viwo abe ale si Farao gblɔ ene, eye wòtsɔ nu si woaɖu le mɔzɔzɔ me la hã na wo.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
Etsɔ awu yeyewo na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ke etsɔ awudodo atɔ̃ kple klosalo alafa atɔ̃ na Benyamin.
23 For his father he sent this: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt; and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and other supplies for his father for the journey.
Ena tedzi ewo tsɔ nu nyui siwo le Egipte la yi na fofoa, eye wògana tedzi ewo bubu tsɔ bli kple nuɖuɖu vovovowo yi nɛ be wòaɖu le mɔa dzi.
24 So he sent his brothers away and they left. He said to them, “See that you do not quarrel on the journey.”
Ale wòdo mɔ nɔviawo. Nya mamlɛtɔ si Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo lae nye, “Migawɔ dzre le mɔa dzi o hee!”
25 They went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
Ale wodzo le Egipte trɔ yi Kanaanyigba dzi le wo fofo Yakob gbɔ.
26 They told him saying “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart was astonished, for he could not believe what they told him.
Wodo ɣli gblɔ na wo fofo be, “Yosef le agbe, eye wòzu Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi ɖula!” Ke nya la wɔ moya na Yakob ale gbegbe be mexɔe se o.
27 They told him all the words of Joseph that he had said to them. When Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Ke esi wogblɔ nya siwo Yosef be woagblɔ nɛ, eye wòkpɔ tasiaɖam siwo me nuɖuɖu si Yosef ɖo ɖee le la, Yakob ƒe dzi ɖo eme azɔ.
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Israel gblɔ be, “Nyateƒee, vinye Yosef le agbe, mayi aɖakpɔe ɖa hafi aku.”
