Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brethren.
Jozefi akokaki lisusu komikanga te liboso ya bato nyonso oyo bazalaki liboso na ye, agangaki: « Bobimisa bato nyonso! » Boye, moto moko te azalaki pembeni na ye tango amimonisaki epai ya bandeko na ye ya mibali.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Lokola alelaki na mongongo makasi, bato ya Ejipito bayokaki ye; mpe sango ekendeki kino na ndako ya Faraon.
3 And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: — Nazali Jozefi! Tata na ngai azali nanu na bomoi? Kasi bandeko na ye bakokaki koyanola ye te, pamba te bazalaki kolenga liboso na ye.
4 And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Jozefi alobaki na bango: — Bopusana pembeni na ngai! Tango bapusanaki, alobaki: — Nazali Jozefi, ndeko na bino ya mobali oyo botekaki mpo ete bamema ngai na Ejipito.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here: for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Kasi sik’oyo, bomitungisa te mpe bozala na mawa te na ndenge botekaki ngai awa. Ezali mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bino nde Nzambe atindaki ngai liboso na bino.
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in which there shall neither be tillage nor harvest.
Oyo ezali mobu ya mibale wuta nzala makasi ekotaki na mokili; mpe na mibu mitano oyo ezali koya, bakolona te mpe bakobuka te.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Kasi Nzambe atindaki ngai liboso na bino mpo ete bowumela na mokili mpe bobikisa bomoi na bino na nzela ya kokangolama monene.
8 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ezali bino te bato botindaki ngai awa, kasi ezali nde Nzambe. Akomisaki ngai tata ya Faraon, nkolo ya ndako na ye mpe moyangeli ya mokili mobimba ya Ejipito.
9 Haste ye, and return to my father, and say to him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down to me, delay not:
Bozonga noki epai ya tata na ngai mpe boloba na ye: « Mwana na yo, Jozefi, alobi: ‹ Nzambe akomisa ngai nkolo ya Ejipito mobimba; yaka epai na ngai, kowumela te.
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
Okovanda na etuka ya Gosheni mpe okozala pembeni na ngai: yo, bana na yo mpe bakitani na yo, bameme na yo, bantaba na yo, bangombe na yo mpe biloko nyonso oyo ozali na yango.
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, should come to poverty.
Kuna, nakokokisa baposa na yo nyonso, pamba te mibu mitano ya nzala makasi ezali koya; soki te, yo elongo na bana na yo mpe bibwele na yo nyonso, bokokoma na pasi.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
Bino moko bozali komona! Ndeko na ngai, Benjame, akoki mpe komona yango, ete ezali ngai moto nazali koloba na bino.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father here.
Boyebisa tata na ngai lokumu nyonso oyo nazali na yango awa na Ejipito, boyebisa ye makambo nyonso oyo bosili komona mpe bomemela ngai ye awa na lombangu. › »
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Sima, amibwakaki na kingo ya ndeko na ye Benjame mpe alelaki; Benjame mpe akangaki ye na kingo, bongo alelaki.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
Apesaki bandeko na ye nyonso beze mpe alelaki. Sima na yango, basololaki.
16 And the report of this was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Tango sango ekomaki na ndako ya Faraon ete bandeko ya Jozefi bayei, Faraon elongo na bakambi na ye nyonso basepelaki.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, This do ye; load your beasts, and go, return to the land of Canaan;
Faraon alobaki na Jozefi: — Yebisa bandeko na yo: « Botia biloko likolo ya banyama na bino mpe bozonga na mokili ya Kanana.
18 And take your father and your households, and come to me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Boyela ngai tata na bino mpe mabota na bino; nakopesa bino mabele oyo eleki kitoko kati na Ejipito mpe bokolia biloko na yango oyo eleki kitoko. »
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Okoyebisa bango lisusu: « Bozwa ndambo ya bashario ya Ejipito mpo na bana mpe basi na bino; bongo bozwa tata na bino mpe bozonga awa.
20 Also regard not your possessions; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Boyoka mawa te mpo na oyo bokotika na Kanana, pamba te biloko nyonso ya kitoko oyo ezali na Ejipito ekozala mpo na bino. »
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Bana ya Isalaele basalaki makambo oyo bayebisaki bango. Jozefi apesaki bango bashario ndenge Faraon apesaki mitindo mpe apesaki bango bilei mosusu mpo na mobembo na bango.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Jozefi apesaki epai ya moko na moko kati na bango bilamba ya sika; apesaki Benjame mbongo ya bibende, nkama misato, elongo na bilamba ya sika.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and food for his father by the way.
Atindelaki tata na ye biloko oyo: ba-ane zomi etonda na bilamba ya kitoko ya Ejipito mpe bampunda zomi ya basi etonda na ble, mapa mpe bilei mpo na mobembo na ye.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that ye contend not by the way.
Jozefi atikaki bandeko na ye kokende. Tango bazali kolongwa, alobaki na bango: — Boswana te na nzela.
25 And they went up from Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father,
Balongwaki na Ejipito mpe bakendeki epai ya tata na bango Jakobi, na mokili ya Kanana.
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
Balobaki na ye: — Jozefi azali nanu na bomoi. Ye nde moto azali koyangela Ejipito mobimba. Jakobi ayokaki nzoto malili mpe andimelaki bango te.
27 And 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 carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
Kasi tango bayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo Jozefi alobaki mpo na bango mpe tango amonaki bashario oyo Jozefi atindaki mpo na komema ye na Ejipito, molimo ya tata na bango Jakobi ezongaki.
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Mpe Isalaele alobaki: — Ya solo, nandimi ete mwana na ngai Jozefi azali nanu na bomoi; nakokende mpe nakomona ye liboso ete nakufa.
