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 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 At siya'y umiyak ng malakas: at narinig ng mga Egipcio, at narinig ng sangbahayan ni Faraon.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 Sapagka't may dalawang taon nang ang kagutom ay nasa lupain; at may limang taon pang hindi magkakaroon ng pagbubukid, o pagaani man.
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 At sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang papanatilihin kayong pinakalahi sa lupa, at upang iligtas kayong buhay sa pamamagitan ng dakilang pagliligtas.
But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
“Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking 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.
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 At siya'y humilig sa leeg ng kaniyang kapatid na si Benjamin, at umiyak; at si Benjamin ay umiyak sa ibabaw ng kaniyang leeg.
Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
15 At kaniyang hinagkan ang lahat niyang kapatid, at umiyak sa kanila: at pagkatapos ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga kapatid.
And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk 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.
Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
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;
The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
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 back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
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.
“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 Huwag din ninyong lingapin ang inyong pag-aari; dahil sa ang buti ng buong lupain ng Egipto ay inyo.
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 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.
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 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.
To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
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.
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 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 sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along 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 came to their father Jacob in 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.
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 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 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 At sinabi ni Israel, Siya na; si Jose na aking anak ay buhay pa: ako'y paroroon at titingnan ko siya, bago ako mamatay.
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!”
