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.
Joseph couldn't control his emotions any longer while all his attendants were there, so he shouted out, “Everybody leave me!” So there was nobody else there when Joseph revealed who he was to his brothers.
2 Uye akachema zvikuru kwazvo zvokuti vaIjipita vakamunzwa, uye veimba yaFaro vakanzwa nezvazvo.
But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
3 Josefa akati kuhama dzake, “Ndini Josefa! Ko, baba vangu vachiri vapenyu here?” Asi hama dzake hadzina kugona kumupindura, nokuti vakanga vachitya pamberi pake.
“I'm Joseph!” he announced to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” They couldn't answer him as they were so surprised to see him face to face.
4 Ipapo Josefa akati kuhama dzake, “Swederai henyu kwandiri.” Vakati vaita izvozvo, akati, “Ndini Josefa hama yenyu, wamakatengesa kuIjipiti!
“Please come closer to me,” he told his brothers. They came over to him. “I'm your brother Joseph who you sold into slavery in Egypt.
5 Uye zvino, musatambudzika uye musazvitsamwira nokuda kwokuti makanditengesa kuno, nokuti Mwari akandituma mberi kwenyu kuti ndigoponesa upenyu hwavanhu.
But don't be worried or get angry with yourselves that you sold me to be a slave here, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to save lives.
6 Nokuti pava namakore maviri zvino nzara yava munyika, uye makore mashanu ari kutevera kuchange kusingarimwi kana kukohwewa.
The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
7 Asi Mwari akandituma mberi kwenyu kuti ndikuchengeterei vanosara panyika uye kuti ndiponese upenyu hwenyu nokusunungurwa kukuru.
God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
8 “Saka zvino, hamusimi makandituma kuno, asi Mwari. Akandiita baba kuna Faro, ishe weimba yake yose nomutongi weIjipiti yose.
So it wasn't you who sent me here, but God. He was the one who made me Pharaoh's chief advisor in charge of all his affairs, and ruler of the whole country of Egypt.
9 Zvino kurumidzai mudzokere kuna baba vangu mundoti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi nomwanakomana wenyu Josefa: Mwari akandiita ishe weIjipiti yose. Burukai muuye kwandiri; musanonoka.
Now hurry! Go back to my father and tell him, ‘This message comes from your son Joseph: God has made me the ruler of the whole of Egypt. Come to me now; don't wait.
10 Muchandogara munyika yeGosheni muve pedyo neni, imi, vana venyu navazukuru venyu, zvipfuwo zvenyu nemombe dzenyu nezvose zvamunazvo.
You'll live in the land of Goshen so you can be close to me with your children and grandchildren, and with your flocks and herds and everything that belongs to you.
11 Ndichakuriritirai ikoko, nokuti mamwe makore mashanu enzara ari kuuya. Kana zvikasadaro imi neveimba yenyu navose vamunavo mungazova varombo.’
I'll make sure you have food, because there are still five more years of famine to come. Otherwise you and your family and your animals are going to starve.’”
12 “Muri kuzvionera pachenyu, uye kana mununʼuna wangu uyu Bhenjamini, kuti ndini chaiye ari kutaura nemi.
Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
13 Muudze baba vangu pamusoro pokukudzwa kwangu muIjipiti uye napamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvamaona. Uye muuye nababa vangu kuno nokukurumidza.”
Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
14 Ipapo akawira pamutsipa womununʼuna wake Bhenjamini akachema, uye Bhenjamini akamumbundikirawo achichema.
He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
15 Uye akatsvoda madzikoma ake ose uye akachema pamusoro pavo. Shure kwaizvozvo, madzikoma ake akataura naye.
He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
16 Shoko rakati rasvika kumuzinda waFaro kuti madzikoma aJosefa akanga auya, Faro namachinda ake ose vakafara.
Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
17 Faro akati kuna Josefa, “Taurira hama dzako uti, ‘Itai izvi: Takudzai zvipfuwo zvenyu mudzokere kunyika yeKenani,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you are to do: Load your donkeys with grain and go back to the country of Canaan.
18 mundouya nababa venyu uye nemhuri kuno kwandiri. Ndichakupai nyika yakaisvonaka yeIjipiti uye mugofara nezvakakora zvenyika.’
Then bring your father and your families and return here to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you shall eat the best food the country has to offer.’
19 “Iwe unorayirwawo kuti uvaudze kuti, ‘Itai izvi: Torerai vana navakadzi venyu dzimwe ngoro dzinobva muIjipiti uye mundotora baba venyu mugodzoka.
Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
20 Musafunganya henyu nezvenhumbi dzenyu, nokuti zvakaisvonaka zvose zveIjipiti zvichava zvenyu.’”
Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
21 Saka vanakomana vaIsraeri vakaita saizvozvo. Josefa akavapa ngoro, sezvakanga zvarayirwa naFaro, uye akavapawo mbuva yorwendo rwavo.
So that's what the sons of Israel did. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered. He also gave them supplies for their journey.
22 Akapa mumwe nomumwe wavo nguo itsva, asi akapa Bhenjamini mazana matatu amashekeri esirivha nenguo shanu dzokupfeka.
He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
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.
Joseph also sent to his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best things from Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and supplies needed for his father's journey.
24 Ipapo akaendesa hama dzake uye pavakanga voenda akati kwavari, “Musakakavadzana munzira!”
Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
25 Saka vakabuda muIjipiti uye vakaenda vakandosvika kuna baba vavo Jakobho kunyika yeKenani.
So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
26 Uye vakati kwavari, “Josefa mupenyu! Uye ndiye mutongi weIjipiti yose.” Jakobho akati rukutu; haana kuvatenda.
“Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it!
27 Asi pavakavaudza zvose zvakanga zvarehwa naJosefa kwavari, uye paakaona ngoro dzakanga dzatumirwa kwavari naJosefa kuti dzizovatakura, mweya wababa wavo Jakobho wakamutsiridzwa.
But when they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to take him to Egypt, Jacob came back to his senses.
28 Uye Israeri akati, “Ndagutsikana! Mwana wangu Josefa achiri mupenyu. Ndichaenda kundomuona ndisati ndafa.”
Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.”
