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.
Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 Li te kriye tèlman fò ke Ejipsyen yo te tande l. Menm lakay Farawon te tande l.
He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh 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.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
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.
Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. 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.
Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
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 these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
7 Bondye te voye m devan nou pou prezève yon retay sou latè, e pou kenbe nou vivan pa yon gwo delivrans.
God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
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.
So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over 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.”
Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.
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.’”
You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
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.
There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
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 see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks 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 in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
14 Konsa, li te tonbe nan kou a frè l, Benjamin, e li te kriye nan kou li.
He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept 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.
He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with 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.
The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 Epi Farawon te di a Joseph: “Pale a frè ou yo, ‘Men sa pou fè; chaje bèt nou pou ale nan peyi Canaan.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
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.’”
Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat 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.
Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Pa okipe nou de byen nou yo, paske tout sa ki pi bon nan tout peyi Égypte la se pou nou.’”
Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is 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.
The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision 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 gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
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.
He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
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 his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”
25 Alò yo te kite Égypte monte, e yo te vini nan peyi Canaan kote papa yo, Jacob.
They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
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.
They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t 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 told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
28 Alò, Israël te di: “Sa sifi! Fis mwen an, Joseph toujou ap viv. M ap prale wè l avan ke m mouri.”
Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
