< 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 refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried: 'Cause every man to go out from me.' And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2 Ó sì sọkún sókè kíkankíkan tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí àwọn Ejibiti gbọ́ ohùn ẹkún rẹ̀, àwọn ilé Farao pẹ̀lú sì gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀.
And he wept aloud; and 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.
And Joseph said unto his brethren: 'I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?' And his brethren could not answer him; for they were affrighted 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!
And Joseph said unto his brethren: 'Come near to me, I pray you.' And they came near. And he said: 'I am Joseph your brother, whom ye 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.
And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither; for God did send 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 hath the famine been in the land; and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor 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.
And God sent me before you to give you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive for 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 that sent me hither, but God; and He hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and 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.
Hasten ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not.
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.
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast;
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.
and there will I sustain thee; for there are yet five years of famine; lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.
12 “Ẹ̀yin fúnra yín àti Benjamini arákùnrin mi pẹ̀lú rí i pé, lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́, èmi Josẹfu ni mo ń bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀.
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto 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.”
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall hasten and bring down my father hither.'
14 Nígbà náà ni ó dì mọ́ Benjamini arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì sọkún, Benjamini náà sì dì mọ́ ọn, pẹ̀lú omijé lójú.
And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon 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.
And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 Nígbà tí ìròyìn náà dé ààfin Farao pé àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu dé, inú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ dùn.
And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying: 'Joseph's brethren are come'; and 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,
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: 'Say unto thy brethren: This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, get you unto 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.’
and take your father and your households, and come unto me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall 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 thou art commanded, this do ye: take you 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 regard not your stuff; for the good things of all the land of Egypt are 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.
And the sons of Israel did so; and 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.
To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver, and five changes of raiment.
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.
And to his father he sent in like manner ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and victual 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 brethren away, and they departed; and he said unto them: 'See that ye fall not out by the way.'
25 Báyìí ni wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jakọbu baba wọn ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto 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.
And they told him, saying: 'Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.' And his heart fainted, for he believed them not.
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.
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them; and 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.”
And Israel said: 'It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.'
