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.
And Joseph could not restrain himself before all who were stationed near him, so he cried out—Have forth every man from me! And there stood no man with him, when 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.
Then gave he forth his voice in weeping, —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.
Then said Joseph unto his brethren: I, am Joseph, is my father yet alive? But his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified because of him.
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!
Then said Joseph unto his brethren—Draw near I pray you, unto me. And they drew 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.
But, now, do not grieve, neither let it be vexing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither, —for, to save life, did God send me before you.
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 midst of the land, —and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, 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.
So then God sent me before you, to plant for you a remainder 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.
Now, therefore it was not ye, who sent me hither, but, God, himself, —who also appointed me to be a father to Pharaoh, and a lord to all his house, and a 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.
Haste ye and go up unto my father, then shall ye say unto him—Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath appointed me lord to all Egypt, —come down unto me do not delay;
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.
so shalt thou dwell in the land of Goshen, and shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, —and thy flocks and thy herds and all that is thine;
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.
so will I sustain thee, there, for there are yet five years of famine, —lest thou come to poverty—thou and thy house and all who are thine.
12 “Ẹ̀yin fúnra yín àti Benjamini arákùnrin mi pẹ̀lú rí i pé, lóòótọ́ lóòótọ́, èmi Josẹfu ni mo ń bá a yín sọ̀rọ̀.
Now lo! your own eyes do see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, —that it is my own mouth, that doth speak 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.”
As soon as ye have told my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, so soon shall ye 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.
Then fell he upon the neck of Benjamin his brother, 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.
Then kissed he all his brethren, and wept upon them, —and, thereafter, his brethren spake with him.
16 Nígbà tí ìròyìn náà dé ààfin Farao pé àwọn arákùnrin Josẹfu dé, inú Farao àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ dùn.
Now, the report, was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, The brethren of Joseph have come in, And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all 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,
So then Pharaoh said unto Joseph—Say unto thy brethren This, do, —lade your asses, and go enter into 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 fetch your father and your households and come in unto me, —that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and eat ye 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.
Thou, therefore command them, This, do ye, —Take you out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your little ones and for your wives, so shall ye bring your father and come in.
20 Ẹ má ṣe àníyàn nípa ohun ìní yín nítorí èyí tí ó dára jù nínú ilẹ̀ Ejibiti yóò jẹ́ tiyín.’”
Your eye, moreover, let it not look with pity upon your goods, —for, the best 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.
And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh, —and gave them provisions 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, gave he to each man changes of raiment, —but, to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces 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.
Moreover, to his father, sent he as followeth—ten he-asses, laden from the best of Egypt, —and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and nourishing food for his father for 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!”
Thus sent he forth his brethren and they departed, —and he said unto them, Do not fall 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, yea, indeed, he, is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart became faint, 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.
So they spake unto him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken unto them h then saw he the waggons, which Joseph had sent to carry him, —and 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, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet alive, I must go and see him before I die!
