Genesis 45
1 And Joseph hath not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calleth, 'Put out every man from me;' and no man hath stood with him when Joseph maketh himself known unto his brethren,
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 and he giveth forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh heareth.
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 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?' and his brethren have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.
Egblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Nyee nye Yosef! Fofonye gale agbea?” Ke nɔviawo lulũ ale gbegbe be womete ŋu ke nu o.
4 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'Come nigh unto me, I pray you,' and they come nigh; and he saith, 'I [am] Joseph, your brother, whom ye 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 and now, be not grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that ye sold me hither, for to preserve life hath God sent me before you.
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 'Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet [are] five years, [in] which there is neither ploughing nor harvest;
Ƒe eve koe nye esia dɔwuame la va, eye anɔ anyi wòade ƒe adre esime nuƒaƒã alo nuŋeŋe manɔ anyi o.
7 and God sendeth me before you, to place of you a remnant in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
Mawu ɖom ɖe afi sia be mana miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo miatsi agbe, ale be miate ŋu azu dukɔ gã aɖe.
8 and now, ye — ye have not sent me hither, but God, and He doth set me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over 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 'Haste, and go up unto my father, then ye have said to him, Thus said Joseph thy son, God hath set me for lord to all Egypt; come down unto me, stay not,
“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 and thou hast dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near unto me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, and thy flock, and thy herd, and all that thou hast,
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 and I have nourished thee there — for yet [are] five years of famine — lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.
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 'And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking unto 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 and ye have declared to my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, and ye have hasted, and have brought down my father hither.'
“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 And he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and weepeth, and Benjamin hath wept on his neck;
Tete wòde asi dzidzɔvifafa me. Ekpla asi kɔ na Benyamin, eye eya hã de asi avifafa me.
15 and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him.
Egbugbɔ nu na nɔviawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, eye wògafa dzidzɔvi. Azɔ ko hafi nɔviawo te ŋu ƒo nu.
16 And the sound hath been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, 'Come have the brethren of Joseph;' and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,
Nya la ɖo Farao gbɔ be, “Yosef nɔviwo va.” Esi Farao kple eŋumewo se nya sia la, dzi dzɔ wo ŋutɔ.
17 and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye 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 and take your father, and your households, and come unto me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye 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 'Yea, thou — thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought 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 and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, 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 And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision for the way;
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 hath he given — to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred silverlings, and five changes of garments;
Etsɔ awu yeyewo na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ke etsɔ awudodo atɔ̃ kple klosalo alafa atɔ̃ na Benyamin.
23 and to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and bread, even food for his father for the way.
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 And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, 'Be not angry in the way.'
Ale wòdo mɔ nɔviawo. Nya mamlɛtɔ si Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo lae nye, “Migawɔ dzre le mɔa dzi o hee!”
25 And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,
Ale wodzo le Egipte trɔ yi Kanaanyigba dzi le wo fofo Yakob gbɔ.
26 and they declare to him, saying, 'Joseph [is] yet alive,' and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them.
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 And they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob their father;
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 and Israel saith, 'Enough! Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'
Israel gblɔ be, “Nyateƒee, vinye Yosef le agbe, mayi aɖakpɔe ɖa hafi aku.”
