Genesisy 45
1 Tsy naha-lie-batañe amy maro niarikoboñe azey t’Iosefe, le pinaza’e ty hoe, Ampisitaho amako ondaty iabio. Aa ie tsy ama’ ondaty le nibenta-batañe aman-drahalahi’e t’Iosefe.
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 Le akore ty fangololoiha’e kanao tsinano’ o nte-Mitsraimeo naho ty anjomba’ i Parò.
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 Hoe t’Iosefe aman-drahalahi’e, Izaho ‘n-o Iosefeo. Mbe velom-bao ty raeko? Fa tsy nahatoiñ’ aze o rahalahi’eo ami’ty fangovita’ iareo amy fiatrefa’ey.
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 Aa hoe t’Iosefe aman-drahalahi’e, Ehe, harivò! Le niharivoa’ iareo. Hoe re, Izaho nio Iosefe rahalahi’areo, naleta’ areo mb’e Mitsraimey.
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 Aa le ko mañore ndra mañìnje vatañe ty amy nandetaha’ areo ahy atoy, amy te i Andrianañahare ty nañirak’ ahy hiaolo anahareo handrombak’ aiñe;
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 fa nisaliko roe taoñe ty tane toy vaho mbe hanonjohy izay ty lime taoñe tsy aman’ ava tsy amam-bokatse.
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 Nirahen’ Añahare hiaoloako hañajañe tariratse ho anahareo an-tane atoy vaho hampitambeloñe anahareo an-drombake ra’elahy.
But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
8 Aa le tsy inahareo ty nañitrik’ ahy mb’etoa fa i Andrianañahare, ie ty nanao ahy ho rae’ i Parò naho talè’ i anjomba’e iabiy vaho mpifehe i hene tane Mitsraimey.
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 Misangitrifa mb’ aman-draeko mb’eo arè vaho ano ama’e ty hoe, Hoe ty ana’o Iosefe, Nanoen’ Añahare talè’ i Mitsraime iaby iraho; mizotsoa mb’ amako mb’etoy le ko mihenekeneke.
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 Hitoetse marine ahy an-tane’ Gosena añe irehe, ihe naho o keleia’oo naho o anan’ ana’oo, naho o mpirai-lia’oo naho o mpirai-tro’oo vaho ze hene hanaña’o.
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 Ho fahanako ey nahareo amy te mbe hitovoñe lime taoñe i hasalikoañey, tsy mone hifotsak’ an-kararahan-drehe naho o añ’ anjomba’oo.
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 Ie amy zao, Hehe te o fihaino’ areoo naho ty mason-jaiko Beniamine ro mahaisake te ty vavako ro mivolañe ama’ areo henaneo.
“Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
13 Saontsio aman-draeko ty hara’ elahim-piasiañe ahiko e Mitsraime atoa, le ze hene nioni’areo. Malisà hampizotso an-draeko mb’etoy.
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 Niforokokoe’e amy zao ty hàto’ i Beniamine rahalahi’e le nangoihoy vaho nirovetse am-pititia’eo t’i Beniamine.
Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
15 Hene norofa’e o rahalahi’eo naho niroveta’e; vaho nahafisaontsy ama’e amy zao o rahalahi’eo.
And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
16 Ie jinanjiñe añ’anjomba’ i Parò ao ty talily te fa totsake o rahalahi’ Iosefeo, le niehake t’i Parò naho o mpitoro’eo.
Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
17 Le hoe t’i Parò am’ Iosefe, Saontsio ty hoe o rahalahi’oo: Ano zao: ampilogologò o bibi’ areoo vaho miziliha an-tàne Kanàne.
The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
18 Indeso mb’amako mb’etoa ty rae’ areo naho o keleia’ areoo naho hatoloko ty tane soa e Mitsraime atoa vaho hikama’ areo ty havondra’ o taneo.
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 Amantohañe amy zao nahareo: le ano zao: Añandeso sarete boak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoy o keleia’areoo naho o vali’areoo naho rambeso ty rae’ areo vaho mb’etoa.
“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 Ko itsakorea’ areo o fanaña’ areoo, fa anahareo ty soa amy ze hene tane e Mitsraime ao.
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 Aa le nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo. Nitolora’ Iosefe sarete ty amy saontsi’ i Paròy vaho nivatia’e ho amy liay.
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 Songa tinolo’e sikiñe vao t’indaty; fe tinolo’e bogady volafoty telon-jato naho sikim-bao lime t’i Beniamine.
To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
23 Nampihitrife’e mb’ aman-drae’e mb’eo o retoañe: borìke folo nilogologo kilankañe soa’ i Mitsraime, borìke-vave’e folo ninday tsako, mofo vaho fivatiañe ho an-drae’e amy fañaveloa’ey.
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 Le nampionjone’e mb’eo o rahalahi’eo, naho nañavelo, vaho hoe re tam’iareo, Ko mifandietse an-dalañe mb’eo.
Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
25 Aa le nienga i Mitsraime iereo vaho nitotsak’ aman-drae’e an-tane’ Kanàne añe.
So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
26 Le hoe iereo tama’e, Mbe veloñe t’Iosefe. Hene fehe’e ty tane Mitsraime. Nitoirañe ty arofo’e, le tsy niantofa’e.
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 Fe natalily ama’e ty hene enta’ Iosefe nisaontsia’e, naho ie nahaisake o sarete nahitri’ Iosefe hinday azeo, le nisotrake ty arofo’ Iakòbe rae’ iareo.
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 Hoe t’Israele, Heneke! Kanao mbe veloñe t’Iosefe anako, le tsy mete tsy handeha mb’eo iraho hahatreavako aze aolo’ ty fivetrahako.
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!”
