Mose 1 45
1 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.
Then Joseph, unable to keep back his feelings before those who were with him, gave orders for everyone to be sent away, and no one was present when he made clear to his brothers who he was.
2 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.
And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.
3 Egblɔ na nɔviawo be, “Nyee nye Yosef! Fofonye gale agbea?” Ke nɔviawo lulũ ale gbegbe be womete ŋu ke nu o.
And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph: is my father still living? But his brothers were not able to give him an answer for they were troubled before him.
4 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!
Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.
5 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.
Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.
6 Ƒe eve koe nye esia dɔwuame la va, eye anɔ anyi wòade ƒe adre esime nuƒaƒã alo nuŋeŋe manɔ anyi o.
For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.
7 Mawu ɖom ɖe afi sia be mana miawo kple miaƒe ƒometɔwo miatsi agbe, ale be miate ŋu azu dukɔ gã aɖe.
God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.
8 “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.
So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 “Miɖe abla miayi fofonye gbɔ, eye miagblɔ nɛ be viwò Yosef be, ‘Mawu ɖom amegãe ɖe Egiptenyigba blibo la dzi. Va gbɔnye fifi laa!
Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:
10 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.
The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:
11 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.’
And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.
12 “Miawo ŋutɔ miate ŋu akpɔe, eye nenema ke nɔvinye Benyamin hã, be nye tututue nye ame si le nu ƒom na mi la.
Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.
13 “Migblɔ ŋusẽ si le asinye le Egipte kple ale si ame sia ame ɖoa tom la na mía fofo, eye miakplɔe vɛ nam kaba.”
Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.
14 Tete wòde asi dzidzɔvifafa me. Ekpla asi kɔ na Benyamin, eye eya hã de asi avifafa me.
Then, weeping, he took Benjamin in his arms, and Benjamin himself was weeping on Joseph's neck.
15 Egbugbɔ nu na nɔviawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, eye wògafa dzidzɔvi. Azɔ ko hafi nɔviawo te ŋu ƒo nu.
Then he gave a kiss to all his brothers, weeping over them; and after that his brothers had no fear of talking to him.
16 Nya la ɖo Farao gbɔ be, “Yosef nɔviwo va.” Esi Farao kple eŋumewo se nya sia la, dzi dzɔ wo ŋutɔ.
And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.
17 Farao gblɔ na Yosef be, “Gblɔ na nɔviwòwo be woado agba na woƒe tedziwo enumake, atrɔ ayi wo de le Kanaan kaba,
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Put your goods on your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;
18 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!’
And get your father and your families and come back to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, and the fat of the land will be your food.
19 Gblɔ na nɔviwòwo be woatsɔ tasiaɖamwo tso Egipte be woakɔ wo srɔ̃wo kple ɖeviwo, eye woakplɔ wo fofo va afi sia.
And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.
20 Migatsi dzi ɖe nu siwo le mia si la ŋu o, elabena Egipte ƒe anyigba nyuitɔ zu mia tɔ.”
And take no thought for your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 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.
And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.
22 Etsɔ awu yeyewo na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ke etsɔ awudodo atɔ̃ kple klosalo alafa atɔ̃ na Benyamin.
To every one of them he gave three changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred bits of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 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.
And to his father he sent ten asses with good things from Egypt on their backs, and ten she-asses with grain and bread and food for his father on the journey.
24 Ale wòdo mɔ nɔviawo. Nya mamlɛtɔ si Yosef gblɔ na nɔviawo lae nye, “Migawɔ dzre le mɔa dzi o hee!”
And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.
25 Ale wodzo le Egipte trɔ yi Kanaanyigba dzi le wo fofo Yakob gbɔ.
So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 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.
And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.
27 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.
And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:
28 Israel gblɔ be, “Nyateƒee, vinye Yosef le agbe, mayi aɖakpɔe ɖa hafi aku.”
And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.
