Mwanzo 45
1 Ndipo Yusufu hakuweza kujizuia mwenyewe mbele ya watumishi waliosimama kando yake. Akasema kwa sauti, “Kila mtu aondoke.” Hivyo hakuna mtumishi aliyesimama kando yake wakati Yusufu alipojitambulisha kwa ndugu zake.
And Ioseph coude no longer refrayne before all them that stode aboute him but commaunded that they shuld goo all out from him and that there shuld be no man with him whyle he vttred him selfe vnto his brethern.
2 Akalia kwa sauti, Wamisri wakasikia, na nyumba ya Farao wakasikia kuhusu hilo.
And he wepte alowde so that the Egiptians and the house of Pharao herde it.
3 Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Mimi ni Yusufu. Je baba yangu ni mzima bado? Ndugu zake hawakuweza kumjibu, kwani walitishwa na uwepo wake.
And he sayde vnto his brethern: I am Ioseph: doth my father yet lyue? But his brethern coude not answere him for they were abasshed at his presence.
4 Kisha Yusufu akawambia ndugu zake, “Nikaribieni, tafadhari.” Nao wakasogea. Akawambia, “Mimi ni Yusufu ndugu yenu, mliyemwuza Misri.
And Ioseph sayde vnto his brethern: come nere to me and they came nere. And he sayde: I am Ioseph youre brother whom ye sold in to Egipte.
5 Lakini sasa msihuzunike au kukasirika miongoni mwenu kwamba mliniuza huku, kwani Mungu alinituma mbele yenu ili kutunza uhai.
And now be not greued therwith nether let it seme a cruel thinge in youre eyes that ye solde me hither. For God dyd send me before you to saue lyfe.
6 Maana ni miaka miwili njaa imekuwa katika nchi, na bado kuna miaka mitano ambayo hakutakuwa na kulima wala kuvuna.
For this is the seconde yere of derth in the lande and fyue moo are behynde in which there shall nether be earynge nor hervest.
7 Mungu alinituma mbele yenu kuwahifadhi kama masalia duniani, na kuwaweka hai kwa ukombozi mkuu.
Wherfore God sent me before you to make prouision that ye myghte continue in the erth and to save youre lyues by a greate delyuerance.
8 Hivyo si ninyi mlionipeleka huku bali ni Mungu, na amenifanya baba kwa Farao, bwana wa nyumba yake yote, na mtawala wa nchi yote ya Misri.
So now it was not ye that sent me hither but God: and he hath made me father vnto Pharao and lorde ouer all his house and rueler in all the land of Egipte.
9 Fanyeni haraka mwende kwa baba yangu na mmwambie, 'Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Yusufu mwanao, “Mungu amenifanya bwana kwa Wamisri wote. Shuka kwangu, usikawie.
Hast you ad goo to my father and tell him this sayeth thy sonne Ioseph: God hath made me lorde ouer all Egipte. Come downe vnto me and tarye not
10 Utaishi katika nchi ya Gosheni, nawe utakuwa karibu nami, wewe na watoto wako na watoto wa watoto wako, na kondoo wako na mbuzi wako, na yote uliyonayo.
And thou shalt dwell in the londe of Gosan and be by me: both thou and thi childern and thi childerns childern: and thy shepe and beestes and all that thou hast.
11 Nami nitakuhudumia pale, kwa maana bado kuna miaka mitano ya njaa, hivyo usije ukaingia katika uhitaji, wewe, nyumba yako, na yote uliyonayo.”
There will I make provision for the: for there remayne yet v yeres of derth lest thou and thi houshold and all that thou hast perish.
12 Tazama, macho yenu yanaona, na macho ya Benjamini ndugu yangu, kwamba ni kinywa changu kinachoongea nanyi.
Beholde youre eyes do se and the eyes also of my brother Ben Iamin that I speake to you by mouth.
13 Mtamwambia baba yangu juu ya heshima yangu yote huku Misri na yote mliyoyaona. Mtaharakisha na kumleta baba yangu huku.”
Therfore tell my father of all my honoure which I haue in Egipte and of all that ye haue sene ad make hast and brynge in father hither.
14 Akaikumbatia shingo ya Benjamini ndugu yake na kulia, na Benjamini akalia shongoni mwake.
And he fell on his brother Ben Iamis necke and wepte and Ben Iamin wepte on his necke.
15 Akawabusu ndugu zake wote na kulia kwa ajili yao. Baada ya hayo ndugu zake wakaongea naye.
Moreouer he fylled all his brethern and wepte apon them. And after that his brethern talked with him.
16 Habari ya jambo hili ikasemwa katika nyumba ya Farao: “Ndugu zake Yusufu wamekuja.” Ikampendeza sana Farao na watumishi wake.
And when the tidynges was come vnto Pharaos housse that Iosephes brethern were come it pleased Pharao well and all his seruauntes.
17 Farao akamwambia Yusufu, “Wambie ndugu zako, 'Fanyeni hivi: Wapakieni wanyama wenu na mwende katika nchi ya Kanaani.
And Pharao spake vnto Ioseph: saye vnto thy brethern this do ye: lade youre beestes ad get you hence And when ye be come vnto the londe of Canaan
18 Mchukueni baba yenu na nyumba zenu mnijie. Nami nitawapa mema ya nchi ya Misri, nanyi mtakula unono wa nchi.'
take youre father and youre housholdes and come vnto me and I will geue you the beste of the lande of Egipte and ye shall eate the fatt of the londe.
19 Basi mmeamriwa, 'Fanyeni hivi, chukueni mikokoteni kutoka Misri kwa ajili ya watoto wenu na kwa ajili ya wake zenu. Mchukueni baba yenu na kuja.
And commaunded also. This do ye: take charettes with you out of the lande of Egipte for youre childern and for youre wyues: and brynge youre father and come.
20 Msijari kuhusu mali zenu, kwani mema yote ya nchi ya Misri ni yenu.”
Also regarde not youre stuff for the goodes of all the londe of Egipte shalbe youres.
21 Wana wa Israeli wakafanya hivyo. Yusufu akawapa mikokoteni, kwa kadili ya agizo la Farao, na akawapa mahitaji ya safari.
And the childern of Israell dyd euen so And Ioseph gaue them charettes at the commaundment of Pharao and gaue them vitayle also to spende by the waye.
22 Akawapa wote mavazi ya kubadilisha, lakini akampa Benjamini vipande mia tatu vya fedha na mavazi matano ya kubadilisha.
And he gaue vnto eche of them chaunge of rayment: but vnto Ben Iamin he gaue. iij. hundred peces of syluer and. v. chaunge of rayment.
23 Akampelekea baba yake: punda kumi waliobeba mema ya Misri, punda majike kumi wamebeba nafaka, mikate, na mahitaji mengine kwa baba yake kwa ajili ya safari.
And vnto his father he sent after the same maner: x. he asses laden with good out of Egipte and. x. she asses laden with corne bred and meate: to serue his father by the waye.
24 Hivyo akawaruhusu ndugu zake nao wakaondoka. Akawambia, “Angalieni msijemkagombana njiani.”
So sent he his brethern awaye and they departed. And he sayde vnto them: se that ye fall nor out by the waye.
25 Wakapanda kutoka Misri na kuja katika nchi ya Kanaani, kwa Yakobo baba yao.
And they departed from Egipte and came in to the land of Canaan vnto Iacob their father and told him saynge.
26 Wakamwambia “Yusufu bado yu hai, na ndiye mtawala juu ya nchi yote ya Misri.” Na moyo wake ulishikwa na ushangao, kwani hakuwaamini.
Ioseph is yet a lyue and is gouerner ouer all the land of Egipte. And Iacobs hert wauered for he beleued tho not.
27 Wakamwambia maneno yote ya Yusufu aliyokuwa amewambia. Yakobo alipoona mikokoteni Yusufu aliyokuwa amepeleka kuwabeba, roho ya Yakobo baba yao ikafufuka.
And they tolde him all the wordes of Ioseph which he had sayde vnto them. But when he sawe the charettes which Ioseph had sent to carie him then his sprites reviued.
28 Israeli akasema, “Inatosha. Yusufu mwanangu yu hai. Nitakwenda nikamwone kabla sijafa.”
And Israel sayde. I haue ynough yf Ioseph my sonne be yet alyue: I will goo and se him yer that I dye.
