Genesis 45
1 Ket saan a nalapdan ni Jose ti bagina iti sangoanan dagiti amin nga adipen a nakatakder iti abayna. Kinunana iti napigsa, “Panawandak, dakayo amin.” Awan iti adipen a nagtalinaed a nakatakder iti abay ni Jose idi inyam-ammona ti bagina kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki.
Joseph was not able to control his feelings any longer. He did not want to cry in front of his servants, so he said to them loudly, “All of you go outside!” After they went outside, there was no one else there with Joseph when he told his brothers who he was.
2 Nagsangit iti napigsa, nangngeg dagiti Egipcio daytoy, ken nangngeg iti balay ti Faraon daytoy.
He cried so loudly that the people of Egypt who were outside heard it, and even the people in the king’s palace heard it.
3 Kinuna ni Jose kadagiti kakabsatna, “Siak ni Jose. Sibibiag pay kadi ti amak?” Saan a masungbatan dagiti kakabsatna isuna, ta naklaatda iti sangoananna.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said.
4 Ket kinunana ni Jose kadagiti kakabsatna, “Pangngaasiyo ta umasidegkayo kaniak.” Immasidegda. Kinunana, “Siak ni Jose a kabsatyo, nga inlakoyo ditoy Egipto.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt!
5 Ket ita, saankayo nga agladingit wenno makaunget kadagiti bagbagiyo iti panangilakoyo kaniak ditoy, ta imbaonnak ti Dios nga immuna kadakayo tapno maisalbar ti biag.
But now, do not be distressed, and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me to people who brought me here, because it was to save you from dying [because of the famine] that God sent me here ahead of you.
6 Ta iti daytoy dua a tawen, adda panagbisin iti daga, ket adda pay lima a tawen nga awanto iti agarado wenno agapit.
There has been a famine in this country for two years, and it will continue for five more years, so that no one will plow ground, and there will be no crops to harvest.
7 Imbaonnak ti Dios nga immuna kadakayo tapno maisalakankayo ken dagiti kaputotanyo, ken tapno maisalbarkayo ket adu kadakayo iti makalasat.
But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
8 Ita ngarud, saan a dakayo iti nangibaon kaniak ditoy no di ket ti Dios, ken pinagbalinnak a kasla ama iti Faraon, apo ti amin a balayna, ken mangituray iti amin a daga iti Egipto.
Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt!
9 Agalistokayo a mapan iti ayan ti amak ket ibagayo kenkuana, 'Daytoy ti imbaga ti anakyo a ni Jose, Pinagbalinnak ti Dios nga apo iti amin nga Egipto. Umayka kaniak, saanka nga agtaktak.
Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately!
10 Agnaedkanto iti daga ti Gosen, ket asidegkanto kaniak, sika ken dagiti annakmo ken dagiti annak dagiti annakmo, ken dagiti arbanyo, ken amin nga adda kenka.
You can live in the Goshen region. You and your children and your grandchildren, your sheep and goats and cattle, and everything that you own, will be near me.
11 Ipaaykonto amin a kasapulanyo sadiay, ta adda pay lima a tawen ti panagbisin, tapno saanka nga agbisin, sika, ti sangakabalayam, ken amin nga adda kenka.'
Since there will be five more years of famine, I will make sure that you have food. If you do not come here, you and your family and all of your servants will starve. [EUP]”’
12 Kitaenyo, makita dagiti matayo, ken iti mata ti kabsatko a ni Benjamin, a ngiwatko ti agsasao kadakayo.
“Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
13 Ibagayo iti amak ti amin maipanggep iti kinaturayko iti Egipto, ken amin a nakitayo, Agalistokayo a mangiyeg iti amak ditoy.”
Go and tell my father about how greatly I am honored here in Egypt. And tell him about everything else that you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly!”
14 Inarakopna ti tengnged ti kabsatna a ni Benjamin ken nagsangit, ket nagsangit met ni Benjamin iti tengngedna.
Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
15 Inagkanna amin dagiti kakabsatna ket nagsangit kadakuada. Kalpasan dayta, nakisarita dagiti kakabsatna kenkuana.
And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
16 Naipadamag dayta a banag iti balay ti Faraon: “Immay dagiti kakabsat ni Jose.” Naragsakan ti Faraon ken dagiti adipen iti daytoy.
Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
17 Kinuna ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Ibagam kadagiti kakabsatmo, 'Kastoy ti aramidenyo: Paawitanyo dagiti ayupyo ket mapankayo iti daga ti Canaan.
The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
18 Alaenyo ti amayo ken dagiti sangkabalayanyo ket umaykayo kaniak. itedkonto kadakayo ti kasayaatan a daga ti Egipto, ket mangankayonto iti patauden ti daga.'
Then bring your father and your families back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
19 Ita ibilinko pay kenka nga ibagam ti kastoy, 'Aramidenyo daytoy, mangiruarkayo kadagiti kariton manipud iti daga ti Egipto para kadagiti annakyo ken para kadagiti assawayo. Alaenyo ti amayo ket umaykayo.
“Also tell this to your brothers: ‘Take some carts from Egypt to carry your children and your wives, and get them and your father and come back here quickly.
20 Saanyo a pakaseknan ti maipanggep kadagiti sanikuayo, ta kukuayo ti kasayaatan iti amin a daga iti Egipto.'”
Do not worry about bringing your possessions, because the best things in Egypt will be yours. Because of that, you will not need to bring any of your things from Canaan.’”
21 Kasta ngarud ti inaramid dagiti putot a lallaki ni Israel. Inikkan ida ni Jose kadagiti kariton, segun iti bilin ti Faraon, ken inikkanna ida iti balon a para iti panagdaliasatda.
Jacob’s sons did what the king suggested. Joseph gave them carts and food to eat along the way, as the king had ordered.
22 Kadakuada amin, nangted isuna iti tunggal lalaki iti pagsukatan a bado, ngem kenni Benjamin, nangted isuna iti tallo gasut a pidaso ti pirak ken lima a pagsukatan a bado.
To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
23 Para iti amana, impatulodna dagitoy: Sangapulo nga asno a napaawitan kadagiti kasayaatan a banbanag iti Egipto; ken sangapulo a kabaian nga asno a napaawitan iti bukbukel, tinapay, ken dadduma a kasapulan a maipaay iti amana, iti panagdaliasatna.
And this is what he sent to his father: Ten male donkeys, loaded with some of the best goods that come from Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other food for his father’s trip to Egypt.
24 Imbaonna ngarud dagiti kakabsatna ket pimmanawda. Kinunana kadakuada, “Kitaenyo ta amangan no agaapakayo iti panagdaliasatyo.”
Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
25 Rimmuarda iti Egipto ket dimtengda iti daga ti Canaan, kenni Jacob nga amada.
So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
26 Imbagada kenkuana a kunada, “Sibibiag pay ni Jose, ken isuna ti mangiturturay iti amin a daga iti Egipto.” Ket kasta unay ti siddaaw ti pusona, ta saan a mamati kadakuada.
One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true.
27 Imbagada kenkuana amin dagiti sasao nga imbaga ni Jose kadakuada. Idi nakita ni Jacob kadagiti kariton nga impatulod ni Jose a mangilugan kenkuana, naparegta ti espiritu ti amada a ni Jacob.
But they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him and his family and possessions to Egypt. Then their father Jacob’s shock ended.
28 Kinuna ni Israel, “Naan-anayen. Sibibiag pay ti anakko a ni Jose. Mapanko kitaen isuna sakbay a matayak.”
He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!”
