Jenèz 45
1 Alò, Joseph pa t kapab kontwole emosyon li devan tout moun sa yo ki te kanpe akote li yo. Li te kriye: “Fè tout moun kite mwen.” Konsa pa t gen pèsòn avèk li lè Joseph te revele li menm a frè l yo.
Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
2 Li te kriye tèlman fò ke Ejipsyen yo te tande l. Menm lakay Farawon te tande l.
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
3 Alò, Joseph te di a frè li yo: “Mwen se Joseph! Èske papa m toujou vivan?” Men frè l yo pa t kapab reponn li, paske yo te plen de gwo perèz akoz prezans li.
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
4 Alò, Joseph te di a frè li yo: “Souple, vin pi pre m.” Epi yo te vin pi pre. Li te di: “Mwen se frè nou, Joseph, ke nou te vann pou ale an Egypte la.
And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Alò, pinga nou tris ni fache avèk pwòp tèt nou, akoz ke nou te vann mwen isit la, paske Bondye te voye m avan nou pou prezève lavi nou.
Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
6 Paske gwo grangou a te nan peyi sa pou dezane sa yo, e gen senk an toujou ki p ap gen ni raboure tè ni rekòlt.
For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
7 Bondye te voye m devan nou pou prezève yon retay sou latè, e pou kenbe nou vivan pa yon gwo delivrans.
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
8 “Alò, pou sa, se pa te nou ki te voye m isit la, men Bondye. Li te fè m yon papa pou Farawon, mèt pou tout lakay li, e gouvènè sou tout peyi Égypte la.
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt.
9 “Fè vit, monte vè papa m pou di l: ‘Se konsa ke fis ou a, Joseph pale: “Bondye gen tan fè m mèt pou tout Égypte la. Fè vit, vin desann kote mwen, e pa mize.”
Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
10 Nou va viv nan peyi Gosen an, e nou va pre mwen, nou menm avèk pitit nou yo, pitit a pitit nou yo, bann mouton nou yo, avèk twoupo nou yo, ak tout sa ke nou genyen.’”
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
11 La, mwen va osi fè pwovizyon pou nou, paske toujou ap gen senk ane ak gwo grangou e nou menm avèk lakay nou ak tout sa nou genyen ta kapab vin megri.
And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
12 Gade byen, zye nou wè, e zye a frè m nan Benjamin wè, ke se pwòp bouch mwen k ap pale ak nou.
Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
13 Koulye a nou gen pou di papa m tout richès mwen gen an Égypte, ak tout sa nou te wè. Nou gen pou prese mennen papa m desann isit la.”
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
14 Konsa, li te tonbe nan kou a frè l, Benjamin, e li te kriye nan kou li.
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
15 Li te bo tout frè li yo, li te kriye sou yo, e apre frè l yo te pale avèk li.
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 Alò, lè nouvèl la te tande kote lakay Farawon, ke frè Joseph yo te vini, sa te fè Farawon kontan, ni sèvitè li yo.
And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
17 Epi Farawon te di a Joseph: “Pale a frè ou yo, ‘Men sa pou fè; chaje bèt nou pou ale nan peyi Canaan.
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
18 Pran papa ou avèk fanmi nou yo, e vini kote mwen, mwen va bannou pi bon tè an Égypte yo, e nou va manje tout grès tè a.’”
And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.
19 “Koulye a mwen pase lòd: ‘Fè sa: pran cha ki sòti an Égypte yo pou pitit nou yo ak madanm nou yo, e mennen papa nou vini.
Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
20 Pa okipe nou de byen nou yo, paske tout sa ki pi bon nan tout peyi Égypte la se pou nou.’”
And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
21 Alò, fis Israël yo te fè sa. Epi Joseph te bay yo cha yo selon kòmann Farawon an, e li te bay yo pwovizyon pou vwayaj la.
And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
22 A yo chak, li te bay echanj abiman, men a Benjamin li te bay twa san pyès an ajan, ak senk echanj abiman.
He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
23 A papa li, li te voye kòm swivan: dis bourik chaje avèk pi bon bagay Égypte kab pwodwi, dis bourik femèl chaje avèk sereyal ak pen, ak nouriti pou papa l nan vwayaj la.
Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 Konsa, li te voye frè li yo pati, e pandan yo t ap sòti, li te di yo: “Pa goumen nan vwayaj la.”
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
25 Alò yo te kite Égypte monte, e yo te vini nan peyi Canaan kote papa yo, Jacob.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
26 Yo te pale li, e yo te di li konsa: “Joseph toujou vivan! Vrèman, li se Gouvènè tout peyi Égypte la!” Men kè Jacob te febli. Li pa t kwè yo.
And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.
27 Yo te di li tout pawòl ke Joseph te pale yo. Men lè li te wè cha yo ke Joseph te voye pou mennen li an, lespri papa yo, Jacob, te remonte.
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,
28 Alò, Israël te di: “Sa sifi! Fis mwen an, Joseph toujou ap viv. M ap prale wè l avan ke m mouri.”
And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
