Genesis 45
1 Nang magkagayon ay hindi nakapagpigil si Jose sa harap nilang lahat na nakatayo sa siping niya; at sumigaw, Paalisin ninyo ang lahat ng tao sa aking harap. At walang taong tumayo na kasama niya samantalang si Jose ay napakikilala sa kaniyang mga kapatid.
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 At siya'y umiyak ng malakas: at narinig ng mga Egipcio, at narinig ng sangbahayan ni Faraon.
But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
3 At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ako'y si Jose; buhay pa ba ang aking ama? At ang kaniyang mga kapatid ay hindi mangakasagot sa kaniya: sapagka't sila'y nagugulumihanan sa kaniyang harap.
“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 At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Lumapit kayo sa akin, isinasamo ko sa inyo. At sila'y lumapit. At kaniyang sinabi: Ako'y si Jose na inyong kapatid, na inyong ipinagbili upang dalhin sa Egipto.
“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 At ngayo'y huwag kayong magdalamhati, o magalit man sa inyong sarili na inyo akong ipinagbili rito: sapagka't sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang magadya ng buhay.
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 Sapagka't may dalawang taon nang ang kagutom ay nasa lupain; at may limang taon pang hindi magkakaroon ng pagbubukid, o pagaani man.
The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
7 At sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang papanatilihin kayong pinakalahi sa lupa, at upang iligtas kayong buhay sa pamamagitan ng dakilang pagliligtas.
God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
8 Hindi nga kayo ang nagsugo sa akin dito, kundi ang Dios: at kaniya akong ginawang ama kay Faraon, at panginoon sa buo niyang bahay, at tagapamahala ng buong lupain ng Egipto.
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 Magmadali kayo, at pumaroon kayo sa aking ama, at sabihin ninyo sa kaniya: Ganito ang sabi ng iyong anak na si Jose: Ginawa akong panginoon ng Dios sa buong Egipto: pumarito ka sa akin, huwag kang magluwat.
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 At ikaw ay tatahan sa lupain ng Gosen, at malalapit ka sa akin, ikaw at ang iyong mga anak, at ang mga anak ng iyong mga anak, at ang iyong mga kawan, at ang iyong mga bakahan, at ang iyong buong tinatangkilik.
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 At doo'y kakandilihin kita; sapagka't may limang taong kagutom pa; baka ikaw ay madukha, ikaw at ang iyong sangbahayan, at ang lahat ng iyo.
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 At, narito, nakikita ng inyong mga mata at ng mga mata ng aking kapatid na si Benjamin, na ang aking bibig ang nagsasalita sa inyo.
Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
13 At inyong sasaysayin sa aking ama ang aking buong kaluwalhatian sa Egipto, at ang inyong buong nakita; at kayo'y magmamadali at inyong ibababa rito ang aking ama.
Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
14 At siya'y humilig sa leeg ng kaniyang kapatid na si Benjamin, at umiyak; at si Benjamin ay umiyak sa ibabaw ng kaniyang leeg.
He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
15 At kaniyang hinagkan ang lahat niyang kapatid, at umiyak sa kanila: at pagkatapos ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga kapatid.
He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
16 At ang kabantugang yaon ay naibalita sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose: at ikinalugod ni Faraon, at ng kaniyang mga lingkod.
Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
17 At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Sabihin mo sa iyong mga kapatid, Ito'y gawin ninyo: pasanan ninyo ang inyong mga hayop, at kayo'y yumaon, umuwi sa lupain ng Canaan;
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 At dalhin ninyo ang inyong ama at ang inyong mga sangbahayan, at pumarito kayo sa akin: at aking ibibigay sa inyo ang pinakamabuti sa lupain ng Egipto, at kakanin ninyo ang katabaan ng lupain.
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 Ngayo'y inuutusan ka, ito'y gawin ninyo; kumuha kayo ng mga kariton sa lupain ng Egipto para sa inyong mga bata, at sa inyong mga asawa, at dalhin ninyo rito ang inyong ama, at kayo'y pumarito.
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 Huwag din ninyong lingapin ang inyong pag-aari; dahil sa ang buti ng buong lupain ng Egipto ay inyo.
Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
21 At ginawang gayon ng mga anak ni Israel: at binigyan sila ni Jose ng mga kariton, ayon sa utos ni Faraon, at sila'y binigyan ng mababaon sa daan.
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 Sa kanilang lahat ay nagbigay siya ng mga pangpalit na bihisan; nguni't kay Benjamin ay nagbigay siya ng tatlong daang putol na pilak, at limang pangpalit na bihisan.
He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
23 At sa kaniyang ama ay nagpadala siya ng ganitong paraan; sangpung asnong may pasang mabuting mga bagay sa Egipto, at sangpung asna na may pasang trigo at tinapay at pagkain ng kaniyang ama sa daan.
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 Sa ganito ay kaniyang pinapagpaalam ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at sila'y yumaon: at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Huwag kayong magkaaalit sa daan.
Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
25 At sila'y sumumpa mula sa Egipto, at naparoon sa lupain ng Canaan, kay Jacob na kanilang ama.
So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
26 At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Si Jose ay buhay pa, at siya'y puno sa buong lupain ng Egipto. At ang kaniyang puso ay nanglupaypay, sapagka't di niya pinaniwalaan sila.
“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 At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya ang lahat ng salita ni Jose, na kaniyang sinabi sa kanila: nang kaniyang makita ang mga karitong ipinadala ni Jose upang dalhin sa kaniya, ay nagsauli ang diwa ni Jacob na kanilang ama.
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 At sinabi ni Israel, Siya na; si Jose na aking anak ay buhay pa: ako'y paroroon at titingnan ko siya, bago ako mamatay.
Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.”
