1 Mose 45
1 Afei, na Yosef yɛ ne ho biribiara a, ɛnyɛ yie wɔ nʼasomfoɔ no nyinaa anim. Enti, ɔteaam kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ no sɛ, “Obiara mfiri ha nkɔ.” Enti, ɛberɛ a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no, na asomfoɔ no mu biara nni hɔ.
Then Ioseph could not refraine him selfe before all that stoode by him, but hee cryed, Haue forth euery man from me. And there taryed not one with him, while Ioseph vttered himselfe vnto his brethren.
2 Ɔsuu dendeenden maa Misraimfoɔ no teeɛ. Ɛyɛɛ saa ma ɛduruu Farao fiefoɔ asom.
And hee wept and cried, so that the Egyptians heard: the house of Pharaoh heard also.
3 Afei, Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarimanom no sɛ, “Mene Yosef! Mʼagya te ase anaa?” Asɛm no yɛɛ wɔn nwanwa yie ma ɛtɔree wɔn mumu wɔ nʼanim.
Then Ioseph sayde to his brethren, I am Ioseph: doeth my father yet liue? But his brethren coulde not answere him, for they were astonished at his presence.
4 Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuammarimanom no sɛ, “Montwe mmɛn me.” Wɔtwe bɛn no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mene mo nuabarima Yosef. Me na motɔnee me maa wɔde me kɔɔ Misraim no.
Againe, Ioseph sayde to his brethren, Come neere, I pray you, to mee. And they came neere. And he sayde, I am Ioseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Mommma biribiara nha mo. Na monnkasakasa so sɛ motɔnee me maa wɔde mebaa ha. Onyankopɔn na ɔyɛeɛ. Ɔno na ɔsomaa me, dii mo anim baa ha sɛ memmɛgye mo nkwa.
Nowe therefore be not sad, neither grieued with your selues, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you for your preseruation.
6 Mfeɛ mmienu ni a ɛkɔm baa asase yi so. Mfeɛ enum a ɛreba yi nso, obiara rennua, na obiara nso rentwa.
For nowe two yeeres of famine haue bene through ye land, and fiue yeeres are behind, wherein neither shalbe earing nor haruest.
7 Onyankopɔn asoma me ha sɛ, memma mo ne mo fiefoɔ ntena nkwa mu, na moayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.
Wherefore God sent me before you to preserue your posteritie in this land, and to saue you aliue by a great deliuerance.
8 “Enti, ɛnyɛ mo na mode mebaa ha, na ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ankasa! Wayɛ me Farao fotufoɔ ne ne fie sohwɛfoɔ, ɛnna ɔde Misraiman nyinaa nso ahyɛ me nsa.
Now the you sent not me hither, but God, who hath made mee a father vnto Pharaoh, and lorde of all his house, and ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Afei, monka mo ho nkɔ mʼagya nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ wo babarima Yosef seɛ ni, Onyankopɔn ayɛ me Misraiman nyinaa sohwɛfoɔ. Enti, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase koraa, na bra Misraim!
Haste you and go vp to my father, and tel him, Thus saieth thy sonne Ioseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come downe to me, tary not.
10 Wobɛba abɛtena Gosen asase so, na woabɛn me. Fa wo mma, wo nananom, wo nnwan ne wʼanantwie ne biribiara a wowɔ bra.
And thou shalt dwel in ye land of Goshen, and shalt be neere me, thou and thy children, and thy childrens children, and thy sheepe, and thy beastes, and all that thou hast.
11 Sɛ woba hɔ a, mɛhwɛ wo, ɛfiri sɛ saa ɛkɔm kɛseɛ yi aka mfeɛ enum. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, wo ne wo fiefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔka wo ho nyinaa bɛdi hia buruburoo.’
Also I will nourish thee there (for yet remaine fiue yeeres of famine) lest thou perish through pouertie, thou and thy houshold, and all that thou hast.
12 “Mo ne me nua Benyamin nyinaa di adanseɛ sɛ, ampa ara, ɛyɛ me Yosef na me ne morekasa yi.
And behold, your eyes doe see, and the eyes of my brother Beniamin, that my mouth speaketh to you.
13 Monka animuonyam a Onyame adom enti, wɔahyɛ me wɔ Misraim asase so ne biribiara a mo ankasa mode mo ani abɛhunu no nyinaa ho asɛm nkyerɛ mʼagya. Monkɔfa mʼagya nsiane mmrɛ me ntɛm so.”
Therefore tel my father of al mine honour in Egypt, and of all that ye haue seene, and make haste, and bring my father hither.
14 Ɔyɛɛ Benyamin atuu, suiɛ, a anigyeɛ ne awerɛhoɔ adi afra. Benyamin nso firii aseɛ suiɛ.
Then hee fell on his brother Beniamins necke, and wept, and Beniamin wept on his necke.
15 Ɔfefee ne nuanom no nyinaa ano suiɛ, na ɛno akyiri no, wɔtumi ne no kasaeɛ.
Moreouer, he kissed all his brethren, and wept vpon them: and afterwarde his brethren talked with him.
16 Ɛberɛ a wɔtee wɔ Farao fie sɛ Yosef nuanom no aba no, Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa ani gyeeɛ.
And the tidinges came vnto Pharaohs house, so that they said, Iosephs brethre are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his seruants.
17 Afei, Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wo nuanom no se, wɔmfa nneɛma nsoasoa wɔn mmoa no, na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so,
Then Pharaoh said vnto Ioseph, Say to thy brethren, This doe ye, lade your beastes and depart, go to the land of Canaan,
18 na wɔnkɔfa wɔn agya ne wɔn abusuafoɔ nyinaa mmra Misraim asase so ha mmɛtena ha. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Farao bɛma mo Misraim asase no fa a ɛyɛ pa ara atena so. Wɔbɛdi asase no so nnepa!’
And take your father, and your houshoulds, and come to me, and I wil giue you the best of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eate of the fat of the land.
19 “Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa nteaseɛnam mfiri Misraim ha nkɔfa mo yerenom ne mo mma. Momfa mo agya nso nka ho mmra.
And I commaund thee, Thus doe ye, take you charets out of the lande of Egypt for your children, and for your wiues, and bring your father and come.
20 Monnha mo ho wɔ mo agyapadeɛ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, mede nnepa a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa no bi bɛma mo.’”
Also regarde not your stuffe: for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 Enti, Yosef maa wɔn nteaseɛnam ne nnuane a wɔbɛdi wɔ ɛkwan so, sɛdeɛ Farao hyɛeɛ no.
And the children of Israel did so: and Ioseph gaue them charets according to the commandement of Pharaoh: hee gaue them vitaile also for the iourney.
22 Ɔmaa ne nuanom no mu biara atadeɛ foforɔ, nanso Benyamin deɛ, ɔmaa no ntadeɛ ahodoɔ enum ne dwetɛ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne fa.
He gaue them all, none except, change of raiment: but vnto Beniamin he gaue three hundreth pieces of siluer, and fiue sutes of raiment.
23 Saa nneɛma a ɛdidi so yi nso na Yosef de kɔmaa nʼagya Israel: mfunumunini edu a wɔahyehyɛ Misraim nneɛma pa wɔ wɔn so, mfunumubereɛ edu a wɔsoso aburoo, burodo ne nnuane ahodoɔ ne nʼakwansoduane.
And vnto his father likewise hee sent ten hee asses laden with the best things of Egypt, and ten shee asses laden with wheate, and bread and meate for his father by the way.
24 Ɔgyaa ne nuanom no kwan, na akwannya no mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnkɔkasakasa wɔ ɛkwan so.”
So sent he his brethren away, and they departed: and he sayde vnto them, Fall not out by the way.
25 Enti, wɔfirii Misraiman mu kɔɔ wɔn agya Israel nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
Then they went vp from Egypt, and came vnto the land of Canaan vnto Iaakob their father,
26 Wɔduruiɛ no, wɔde anigyeɛ bɔɔ wɔn agya amaneɛ sɛ, “Yosef te ase! Nokwasɛm nie, ɔno na ɔdi Misraiman nyinaa so!” Israel tee saa asɛm yi no, ne ho dwirii no. Wannye anni.
And tolde him, saying, Ioseph is yet aliue, and he also is gouernour ouer all the lande of Egypt, and Iaakobs heart failed: for he beleeued them not.
27 Na ɛberɛ a wɔkaa nsɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛka no wieeɛ no, na ɔhunuu nteaseɛnam a Yosef de somaa sɛ wɔmfa mmɛfa no no, wɔn agya Yakob ho sanee no.
And they told him al the words of Ioseph, which he had said vnto the: but when he saw the charets, which Ioseph had sent to cary him, then the spirit of Iaakob their father reuiued.
28 Afei, Israel kaa sɛ, “Magye nsɛm no nyinaa adi. Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ, Yosef te ase. Mɛkɔ makɔhunu no ansa na mawu.”
And Israel said, I haue inough: Ioseph my sonne is yet aliue: I will go and see him yer I die.
