< Genesis 45 >

1 Josẹfu kò sì le è pa á mọ́ra mọ́ níwájú gbogbo àwọn tí ó dúró tì í. Ó sì sọkún sókè tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn tí ó wà ní àyíká gbọ́ ohun ẹkún rẹ̀. “Jẹ́ kí gbogbo ènìyàn kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.” Kò sì sí ẹnikẹ́ni lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀.
Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 Ó sì sọkún sókè kíkankíkan tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn Ejibiti gbọ́ ohùn ẹkún rẹ̀, àwọn ilé Farao pẹ̀lú sì gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀.
He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 Josẹfu wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi ni Josẹfu! Ṣe baba mi sì wà láààyè?” Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ kò le è dá a lóhùn nítorí ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n gidigidi, ẹnu sì yà wọ́n níwájú rẹ̀.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
4 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ mi.” Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ó wí pé, “Èmi ni Josẹfu arákùnrin yín tí ẹ tà sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti!
Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n báyìí, ẹ má ṣe banújẹ́, ẹ má sì ṣe bínú sí ara yín ní títà tí ẹ tà mí sí ìhín, nítorí, ọ̀nà àti gba ẹ̀mí yín là ni Ọlọ́run ṣe rán mi sí ìhín ṣáájú yín.
Now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Ìyàn tí ó ti mú láti ọdún méjì sẹ́yìn yìí yóò tẹ̀síwájú fún ọdún márùn-ún sí i nínú èyí tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò ní gbìn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò ni kórè.
For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run rán mi ṣáájú yín sí ìhín láti da irú-ọmọ yín sí fún un yín lórí ilẹ̀ ayé àti láti fi ìgbàlà ńlá gba ẹ̀mí yín là.
God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8 “Nítorí náà, kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ni ó rán mi wá sí ibí yìí, bí kò ṣe Ọlọ́run. Ó fi mí ṣe baba, Olùdámọ̀ràn fún Farao, olúwa fún gbogbo ilé Farao àti alákòóso gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
So now it was not you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Nísinsin yìí, ẹ yára padà sọ́dọ̀ baba mi kí ẹ sì wí fun un pé, èyí ni ohun tí Josẹfu ọmọ rẹ wí, Ọlọ́run ti fi mí ṣe olúwa fún gbogbo ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láì jáfara.
Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Do not wait.
10 Ìwọ yóò gbé ní agbègbè Goṣeni, ìwọ kì yóò jìnnà sí mi, àwọn ọmọ rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ, àwọn agbo ẹran rẹ àti agbo màlúù rẹ àti gbogbo ohun tí ìwọ ní.
You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
11 Èmi yóò pèsè fún yín níbẹ̀. Nítorí ó ṣì ku ọdún márùn-ún gbáko ti ìyàn yóò fi mú. Kí ìwọ àti ilé rẹ àti ohun tí í ṣe tìrẹ má ba à di aláìní.
There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
12 “Ẹ̀yin fúnra yín àti Benjamini arákùnrin mi pẹ̀lú rí i pé, lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́, èmi Josẹfu ni mo ń bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀.
Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13 Ẹ sọ fún baba mi nípa gbogbo ọlá tí a fún mi ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti ohun gbogbo tí ẹ̀yin ti rí, kí ẹ sì mú baba mi tọ̀ mí wá sí ìhín yìí kíákíá.”
You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
14 Nígbà náà ni ó dì mọ́ Benjamini arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì sọkún, Benjamini náà sì dì mọ́ ọn, pẹ̀lú omijé lójú.
He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15 Ó sì tún fẹnu ko gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ lẹ́nu, ó sì sọkún sí wọn lára. Lẹ́yìn èyí, Josẹfu àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ pọ̀.
He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
16 Nígbà tí ìròyìn náà dé ààfin Farao pé àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu dé, inú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ dùn.
The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 Farao wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ pé, ‘Èyí ni kí ẹ ṣe, ẹ di ẹrù lé ẹranko yín kí ẹ sì padà sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
18 kí ẹ sì mú baba yín àti ìdílé yín tọ̀ mí wá. Èmi yóò fún un yín ní ibi tí ó dára jùlọ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ẹ̀yin yóò sì le è gbádùn ilẹ̀ yìí.’
Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
19 “A pàṣẹ fún ọ láti sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ ṣe èyí. ẹ mú kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti fún àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn aya yín. Kí ẹ sì mú baba yín tọ mí wá.
Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Ẹ má ṣe àníyàn nípa ohun ìní yín nítorí èyí tí ó dára jù nínú ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò jẹ́ tiyín.’”
Also, do not concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”
21 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì ṣe èyí. Josẹfu fún wọn ni kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù bí Farao ti pàṣẹ, ó sì fún wọn ní oúnjẹ fún ìrìnàjò wọn pẹ̀lú.
The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 Ó fún ẹni kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ní aṣọ tuntun. Ṣùgbọ́n Benjamini ni ó fún ní ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ẹyọ owó idẹ fàdákà àti ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ márùn-ún.
He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 Àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ó kó ránṣẹ́ sí baba rẹ̀: kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ mẹ́wàá tí ó ru àwọn ohun mèremère ilẹ̀ Ejibiti àti abo kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ mẹ́wàá tí ó ru ọkà àti oríṣìíríṣìí oúnjẹ.
He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
24 Nígbà náà ni ó rán àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ lọ, bí wọ́n ṣe ń pínyà, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jà ní ọ̀nà o!”
So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you do not quarrel on the way.”
25 Báyìí ni wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jakọbu baba wọn ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
26 Wọn wí fún un pé, “Josẹfu ṣì wà láààyè! Kódà òun ni alákòóso ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.” Ẹnu ya Jakọbu, kò sì gbà wọ́n gbọ́.
They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n sọ ohun gbogbo tí Josẹfu ti sọ fún wọn fún un tí ó sì rí kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù tí Josẹfu fi ránṣẹ́ láti gbé e padà wá, iyè Jakọbu, baba wọn sọ.
They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
28 Israẹli sì wí pé, “Mo gbà dájúdájú wí pé, Josẹfu ọmọ mi wà láààyè. Èmi ó lọ rí i kí n tó kú.”
Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
