1 Josef ne ok nyal gengʼo mirima mane en-go e nyim joma ne tiyone. Kendo noywak matek niya, “Goluru ngʼato angʼata oko e nyima!” Kuom mano ne onge ngʼato angʼata mane nigi Josef kane ohulore ne owetene.
Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood before him, so he cried out, "Send everyone away from me." So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 Kendo noywak matek ma jo-Misri nowinje, kendo jood Farao bende nowinjo wachno.
And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
3 Josef nowacho ne owetene niya, “An Josef! Bende wuora pod ngima?” To owetene ne ok nyal dwoke, nikech luoro nomakogi ahinya e nyim Josef.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?" But his brothers couldn't answer him, for they were terrified at his presence.
4 Eka Josef nowacho ne owetene niya, “Biuru machiegni buta.” Kane gisetimo kamano, nowachonegi niya, “An owadu Josef mane uuso e piny Misri!
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." So they moved closer. And he said, "I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 To koro, kik chunyu chandre kendo kik ucharu nine uusa ka nikech Nyasaye noora motelonu mondo ares ngimau.”
Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Kuom higni ariyo kech osebedo e piny, kendo kuom higni abich mabiro pur kata keyo ok nobedie.
For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 Nyasaye noora motelonu mondo arit kothu modongʼ e piny kendo mondo ores ngimau gi resruok maduongʼ.
God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 “Kuom mano, ok un ema ne uora ka to Nyasaye ema ne oora. En ema noketo abedo wuon Farao, ruoth mar ode duto kendo jatelo mar jo-Misri duto.
So now, it wasn't 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 Koro returu piyo udog ir wuora kendo uwachne ni, ‘Ma e gima Josef wuodi owacho: Nyasaye oseketa ruoth mar piny Misri duto. Bi ira; kendo kik ideki.
Now 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 delay.
10 Ibiro dak e piny Goshen kendo machiegni koda; ma en in gi nyithindi, nyikwayi, jambi, dhogi kod gik moko duto ma in-go.
You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and everything that you have.
11 Abiro pidhi kanyo, nikech pod nitiere higni abich mag kech mabiro. To ka ok kamano, in kod joodi duto kod giwu duto ubiro chanduru.’
There I will provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, otherwise you and your household and all that you have would become destitute.
12 “Unyalo neno un uwegi, kaachiel gi Benjamin owadwa bende, ni adier an Josef ema awuoyo kodu.
Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
13 Nyisuru wuora luor ma omiya e piny Misri duto kod gik moko duto ma useneno. Kendo keluru wuora kae piyo.”
So you must tell my father about all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. But you must hurry and bring my father down here."
14 Eka Josef nokwako owadgi Benjamin, kendo noywak kendo Benjamin bende nokwake kaywak.
Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
15 Kendo nonyodho owetene duto kendo noywak kokwakogi. Bangʼe owetene nowuoyo kode.
And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
16 Kane wach ochopo e kar dak ruoth Farao ni owete Josef osebiro, Farao kaachiel gi jotije nomor.
Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 Farao nowacho ne Josef niya, “Nyis oweteni, oyie misikegi kuom pundegi mondo gidog Kanaan,
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
18 eka gidhi gikel wuonu kod joode duto mondo gidwog ira. Abiro miyogi kama ber moloyo e piny Misri kendo ginicham gik machiek e lopni.”
Take your father and your families and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the richness of the land.'
19 Bende asemiyi chik mondo inyisgi niya, “Kawuru geche miywayo gi punde e piny Misri mondo udhi uomgo nyithindeu gi mondeu kod wuonu kendo ubi kodgi ka.
Now you are commanded, 'Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
20 Kik uparru kuom gik maun-go e pinyu, nikech gik mabeyo mag Misri duto nobed mau.”
Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
21 Omiyo yawuot Israel notimo kamano. Josef nomiyogi geche miywayo gi punde, mana kaka Farao nowachone kendo en bende nomiyogi gik mane ginyalo konyore godo e yo.
So the sons of Israel did that. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
22 Nomiyo moro ka moro kuomgi law manyien to Benjamin nomiyo fedha mapekgi oromo kilo mia adek kod lewni mopogore opogore abich.
He gave to all of them, to each one, a change of clothing. But to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 Kendo magi e gik mane ooro ni wuon-gi: punde apar motingʼo gik mabeyo mag Misri kod punde apar mamon motingʼo cham kod makati kod chiemo mane onyalo konyorego e wuoth ka obiro Misri.
To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and food and provision for his father on the journey.
24 Eka Josef nokowo owetene modhi, kendo kane koro giwuok gidhi nowachonegi niya, “Kik udhaw kendu e wangʼ yo!”
So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
25 Kuom mano negiwuok Misri kendo gibiro Kanaan ir Jakobo wuon-gi.
So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
26 Neginyiso Jakobo niya, “Josef pod ngima kendo koro en e ruodh Misri duto.” Jakobo ne dhoge omoko, mi ok noyie gi wachgino.
And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was unmoved, because he did not believe them.
27 To kane giwachone gik moko duto mane Josef osewachonegi kendo kane oneno geche mane Josef oseoro mondo odhi otere ire, chuny Jakobo wuon-gi noduogo.
But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
28 Kendo Israel nowacho niya, “Ayie ni Josef wuoda pod ngima. Abiro dhi mondo anene kapok atho.”
Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
