Jenèz 45
1 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.
Then Ioseph could not refraine him selfe before all that stoode by him, but hee cryed, Haue forth euery man from me. And there taryed not one with him, while Ioseph vttered himselfe vnto his brethren.
2 Li te pran kriye byen fò, tèlman fò moun peyi Lejip yo te tande l'. Bri a te rive jouk lakay farawon an.
And hee wept and cried, so that the Egyptians heard: the house of Pharaoh heard also.
3 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.
Then Ioseph sayde to his brethren, I am Ioseph: doeth my father yet liue? But his brethren coulde not answere him, for they were astonished at his presence.
4 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.
Againe, Ioseph sayde to his brethren, Come neere, I pray you, to mee. And they came neere. And he sayde, I am Ioseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 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.
Nowe therefore be not sad, neither grieued with your selues, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you for your preseruation.
6 Sa fè dezan depi grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Men, p'ap gen mwayen travay latè ni fè rekòt pou senk lanne ankò.
For nowe two yeeres of famine haue bene through ye land, and fiue yeeres are behind, wherein neither shalbe earing nor haruest.
7 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.
Wherefore God sent me before you to preserue your posteritie in this land, and to saue you aliue by a great deliuerance.
8 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.
Now the you sent not me hither, but God, who hath made mee a father vnto Pharaoh, and lorde of all his house, and ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 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.
Haste you and go vp to my father, and tel him, Thus saieth thy sonne Ioseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come downe to me, tary not.
10 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.
And thou shalt dwel in ye land of Goshen, and shalt be neere me, thou and thy children, and thy childrens children, and thy sheepe, and thy beastes, and all that thou hast.
11 Lè wa Gochenn, m'a pran swen ou, paske grangou a la pou senk lanne ankò.
Also I will nourish thee there (for yet remaine fiue yeeres of famine) lest thou perish through pouertie, thou and thy houshold, and all that thou hast.
12 Koulye a, nou wè, pa vre. Benjamen, frè m' lan, wè tout se mwen menm menm Jozèf k'ap pale ak nou an.
And behold, your eyes doe see, and the eyes of my brother Beniamin, that my mouth speaketh to you.
13 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.
Therefore tel my father of al mine honour in Egypt, and of all that ye haue seene, and make haste, and bring my father hither.
14 Epi li lage kò l' nan bra Benjamen, frè li a, li konmanse kriye ankò. Benjamen tout t'ap kriye sou zepòl li.
Then hee fell on his brother Beniamins necke, and wept, and Beniamin wept on his necke.
15 Apre sa, li bo tout frè li yo, li t'ap kriye toujou. Lèfini, frè l' yo pran pale ak li.
Moreouer, he kissed all his brethren, and wept vpon them: and afterwarde his brethren talked with him.
16 Lè moun lakay farawon yo vin konnen frè Jozèf yo te vini, sa te fè farawon an ak chèf li yo kontan.
And the tidinges came vnto Pharaohs house, so that they said, Iosephs brethre are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his seruants.
17 Farawon an di Jozèf konsa: -Pale ak frè ou yo. Di yo men sa pou yo fè: Chaje bèt yo, ale nan peyi Kanaran.
Then Pharaoh said vnto Ioseph, Say to thy brethren, This doe ye, lade your beastes and depart, go to the land of Canaan,
18 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.
And take your father, and your houshoulds, and come to me, and I wil giue you the best of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eate of the fat of the land.
19 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.
And I commaund thee, Thus doe ye, take you charets out of the lande of Egypt for your children, and for your wiues, and bring your father and come.
20 Yo pa bezwen règrèt kite anyen, paske se pi bon bagay nan tout peyi Lejip la m'ap ba yo.
Also regarde not your stuffe: for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 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.
And the children of Israel did so: and Ioseph gaue them charets according to the commandement of Pharaoh: hee gaue them vitaile also for the iourney.
22 Li ba yo chak yon rad tout nèf. Men, li bay Benjamen twasan (300) pyès lajan ak senk rad nèf.
He gaue them all, none except, change of raiment: but vnto Beniamin he gaue three hundreth pieces of siluer, and fiue sutes of raiment.
23 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.
And vnto his father likewise hee sent ten hee asses laden with the best things of Egypt, and ten shee asses laden with wheate, and bread and meate for his father by the way.
24 Lè l'ap voye frè l' yo pati, li di yo: -Piga nou chache kont yonn ak lòt nan chemen an, tande.
So sent he his brethren away, and they departed: and he sayde vnto them, Fall not out by the way.
25 Yo kite peyi Lejip, yo rive Kanaran lakay Jakòb, papa yo.
Then they went vp from Egypt, and came vnto the land of Canaan vnto Iaakob their father,
26 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.
And tolde him, saying, Ioseph is yet aliue, and he also is gouernour ouer all the lande of Egypt, and Iaakobs heart failed: for he beleeued them not.
27 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'.
And they told him al the words of Ioseph, which he had said vnto the: but when he saw the charets, which Ioseph had sent to cary him, then the spirit of Iaakob their father reuiued.
28 Li di yo: -Se kont. Jozèf, pitit mwen an, vivan toujou. Fòk m ale pou m' ka wè l' anvan m' mouri.
And Israel said, I haue inough: Ioseph my sonne is yet aliue: I will go and see him yer I die.
