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.
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,
2 Li te kriye tèlman fò ke Ejipsyen yo te tande l. Menm lakay Farawon te tande l.
and he giveth forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh heareth.
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 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.
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 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;
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.
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.
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.
'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;
7 Bondye te voye m devan nou pou prezève yon retay sou latè, e pou kenbe nou vivan pa yon gwo delivrans.
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;
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.
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.
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.”
'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,
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 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,
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 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.
12 Gade byen, zye nou wè, e zye a frè m nan Benjamin wè, ke se pwòp bouch mwen k ap pale ak nou.
'And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking unto 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.”
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.'
14 Konsa, li te tonbe nan kou a frè l, Benjamin, e li te kriye nan kou li.
And he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and weepeth, and Benjamin hath 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.
and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken 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.
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,
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 Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, 'Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye 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.’”
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.
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.
'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;
20 Pa okipe nou de byen nou yo, paske tout sa ki pi bon nan tout peyi Égypte la se pou nou.’”
and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, 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.
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;
22 A yo chak, li te bay echanj abiman, men a Benjamin li te bay twa san pyès an ajan, ak senk echanj abiman.
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;
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.
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.
24 Konsa, li te voye frè li yo pati, e pandan yo t ap sòti, li te di yo: “Pa goumen nan vwayaj la.”
And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto 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 go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto 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.
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.
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.
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;
28 Alò, Israël te di: “Sa sifi! Fis mwen an, Joseph toujou ap viv. M ap prale wè l avan ke m mouri.”
and Israel saith, 'Enough! Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'
