Genesisi 45
1 Ipapo Josefa akanga asisagoni kuzvidzora pamberi pavashandiri vake vose, uye akadanidzira akati, “Munhu wose ngaabve pamberi pangu!” Saka pakanga pasisina mumwe munhu pana Josefa paakazvizivisa kuhama dzake.
And Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him, and he cried, Put every man out from me! And no man stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brethren.
2 Uye akachema zvikuru kwazvo zvokuti vaIjipita vakamunzwa, uye veimba yaFaro vakanzwa nezvazvo.
And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 Josefa akati kuhama dzake, “Ndini Josefa! Ko, baba vangu vachiri vapenyu here?” Asi hama dzake hadzina kugona kumupindura, nokuti vakanga vachitya pamberi pake.
And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph. Does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.
4 Ipapo Josefa akati kuhama dzake, “Swederai henyu kwandiri.” Vakati vaita izvozvo, akati, “Ndini Josefa hama yenyu, wamakatengesa kuIjipiti!
And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Uye zvino, musatambudzika uye musazvitsamwira nokuda kwokuti makanditengesa kuno, nokuti Mwari akandituma mberi kwenyu kuti ndigoponesa upenyu hwavanhu.
And now, be not grieved, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Nokuti pava namakore maviri zvino nzara yava munyika, uye makore mashanu ari kutevera kuchange kusingarimwi kana kukohwewa.
For the famine has been these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest.
7 Asi Mwari akandituma mberi kwenyu kuti ndikuchengeterei vanosara panyika uye kuti ndiponese upenyu hwenyu nokusunungurwa kukuru.
So God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8 “Saka zvino, hamusimi makandituma kuno, asi Mwari. Akandiita baba kuna Faro, ishe weimba yake yose nomutongi weIjipiti yose.
And now it was not you [that] sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and governor over all the land of Egypt.
9 Zvino kurumidzai mudzokere kuna baba vangu mundoti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi nomwanakomana wenyu Josefa: Mwari akandiita ishe weIjipiti yose. Burukai muuye kwandiri; musanonoka.
Haste and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, tarry not.
10 Muchandogara munyika yeGosheni muve pedyo neni, imi, vana venyu navazukuru venyu, zvipfuwo zvenyu nemombe dzenyu nezvose zvamunazvo.
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast.
11 Ndichakuriritirai ikoko, nokuti mamwe makore mashanu enzara ari kuuya. Kana zvikasadaro imi neveimba yenyu navose vamunavo mungazova varombo.’
And there will I maintain thee; for yet there are five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.
12 “Muri kuzvionera pachenyu, uye kana mununʼuna wangu uyu Bhenjamini, kuti ndini chaiye ari kutaura nemi.
And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which speaks to you.
13 Muudze baba vangu pamusoro pokukudzwa kwangu muIjipiti uye napamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvamaona. Uye muuye nababa vangu kuno nokukurumidza.”
And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen, and haste and bring down my father hither.
14 Ipapo akawira pamutsipa womununʼuna wake Bhenjamini akachema, uye Bhenjamini akamumbundikirawo achichema.
And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15 Uye akatsvoda madzikoma ake ose uye akachema pamusoro pavo. Shure kwaizvozvo, madzikoma ake akataura naye.
And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 Shoko rakati rasvika kumuzinda waFaro kuti madzikoma aJosefa akanga auya, Faro namachinda ake ose vakafara.
And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen.
17 Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Taurira hama dzako uti, ‘Itai izvi: Takudzai zvipfuwo zvenyu mudzokere kunyika yeKenani,
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart, go into the land of Canaan,
18 mundouya nababa venyu uye nemhuri kuno kwandiri. Ndichakupai nyika yakaisvonaka yeIjipiti uye mugofara nezvakakora zvenyika.’
and take your father and your households, and come to me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 “Iwe unorayirwawo kuti uvaudze kuti, ‘Itai izvi: Torerai vana navakadzi venyu dzimwe ngoro dzinobva muIjipiti uye mundotora baba venyu mugodzoka.
And thou art commanded — this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and take up your father, and come.
20 Musafunganya henyu nezvenhumbi dzenyu, nokuti zvakaisvonaka zvose zveIjipiti zvichava zvenyu.’”
And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt shall be yours.
21 Saka vanakomana vaIsraeri vakaita saizvozvo. Josefa akavapa ngoro, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naFaro, uye akavapawo mbuva yorwendo rwavo.
And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them waggons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 Akapa mumwe nomumwe wavo nguo itsva, asi akapa Bhenjamini mazana matatu amashekeri esirivha nenguo shanu dzokupfeka.
To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 Uye izvi ndizvo zvaakatumira kuna baba vake: Mbongoro hono gumi dzakanga dzakatakura zvinhu zvakaisvonaka zveIjipiti, nembongoro hadzi gumi dzakanga dzakatakura zviyo nechingwa nezvimwe zvembuva yorwendo.
And to his father he sent this: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread, and food for his father by the way.
24 Ipapo akaendesa hama dzake uye pavakanga voenda akati kwavari, “Musakakavadzana munzira!”
And he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said to them, Do not quarrel on the way.
25 Saka vakabuda muIjipiti uye vakaenda vakandosvika kuna baba vavo Jakobho kunyika yeKenani.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
26 Uye vakati kwavari, “Josefa mupenyu! Uye ndiye mutongi weIjipiti yose.” Jakobho akati rukutu; haana kuvatenda.
And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
27 Asi pavakavaudza zvose zvakanga zvarehwa naJosefa kwavari, uye paakaona ngoro dzakanga dzatumirwa kwavari naJosefa kuti dzizovatakura, mweya wababa wavo Jakobho wakamutsiridzwa.
And they spoke to him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken to them. And he saw the waggons that Joseph had sent to carry him. And the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
28 Uye Israeri akati, “Ndagutsikana! Mwana wangu Josefa achiri mupenyu. Ndichaenda kundomuona ndisati ndafa.”
And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.
