< Genesis 45 >

1 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.
Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa taʻofi ia ʻe Siosefa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu ʻo ofi kiate ia; pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻalu ʻae tangata kotoa pē meiate au.” Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻi he fakahā ia ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Pea naʻe tangi kalanga ia; pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai ʻIsipite mo e fale ʻo Felo.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Ko Siosefa au: ʻoku kei moʻui ʻeku tamai? Pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa tali ia ʻe hono ngaahi tokoua; he kuo nau puputuʻu ʻi hono ʻao.
4 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 all of you sold into Egypt.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, mou ʻunuʻunu mai kiate au.” Pea naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu atu, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Siosefa au, ko homou tokoua, ʻaia naʻa mou fakatau ki ʻIsipite.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that all of you sold me here: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
Pea ko eni ʻoua naʻa mou mamahi, pe ʻita kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fakatau au ki heni: he naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtua, ke u muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui.
6 For these two years has the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earring nor harvest.
He ko hono ua taʻu eni, mo e hongea ʻae fonua: pea ʻoku toe ʻae taʻu ʻe nima ʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha tō taʻu pe ko e ututaʻu.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Pea naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtua ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamoʻui homou hako ʻi māmani, ke fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui, ʻi he fakamoʻui lahi.
8 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God: and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai ko kimoutolu naʻe fekau au ki heni, ka ko e ʻOtua: pea kuo ne ngaohi au ko e tamai kia Felo, mo e ʻeiki ki hono fale kotoa pē, pea mo e pule ki he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.”
9 Haste all of you, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
“Mou fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo ʻalu ki heʻeku tamai, pea mou pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku lea pehē ho foha ko Siosefa, Kuo ngaohi au ʻe he ʻOtua ko e ʻeiki ki ʻIsipite kotoa pē; ke ke haʻu kiate au, ʻoua naʻa tatali.
10 And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near unto me, you, and your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and all that you have:
Pea te ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni, pea te ke ofi kiate au, ʻa koe mo hoʻo fānau, mo e fānau ʻa hoʻo fānau, mo hoʻo fanga manu, mo hoʻo fanga sipi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu.
11 And there will I nourish you; for yet there are five years of famine; lest you, and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty.
Pea te u fafanga koe ʻi ai; he ʻoku kei toe ʻae taʻu ʻe nima ʻoe honge: telia naʻa masiva koe mo hoʻo kau nofoʻanga, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke maʻu.’”
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks unto you.
Pea vakai, ʻoku mamata ʻa homou mata, pea mo e mata ʻo hoku tehina ko Penisimani, ko hoku ngutu ia ʻoku lea kiate kimoutolu.
13 And all of you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that all of you have seen; and all of you shall haste and bring down my father here.
Pea te mou tala ki heʻeku tamai hoku nāunau kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsipite, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē kuo mou mamata ki ai; pea te mou fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo ʻomi ʻeku tamai ki heni.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Pea naʻa ne faʻaki ki he kia ʻo hono tehina ko Penisimani ʻo tangi; pea tangi ʻe Penisimani ki hono kia.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
Pea ʻuma ia ki hono ngaahi tokoua kotoa pē, ʻo fāʻufua mo tangi kiate kinautolu; pea hili ia ne nau fealēleaʻaki mo hono ngaahi tokoua.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Pea naʻe ongo ʻae meʻa ni ki he fale ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo haʻu ʻae ngaahi tokoua ʻo Siosefa: pea naʻe fiefia lahi ai ʻa Felo, pea mo hono kau nofoʻanga.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto your brethren, This do all of you; load your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Pea pehē ʻe Felo kia Siosefa, Ke ke lea pehē ki ho kāinga, Mou fai ʻae meʻa ni; hilifaki ʻae koane ki hoʻomou fanga manu, pea mou mole leva ki he fonua ko Kēnani;
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and all of you shall eat the fat of the land.
Pea ʻomi hoʻomou tamai mo hoʻomou ngaahi kau nofoʻanga ʻo haʻu kiate au; pea te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea te mou kai ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua.
19 Now you are commanded, this do all of you; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Pea ko eni, kuo mou maʻu ʻae fekau, pea mou fai eni: pea mou ʻave ʻae ngaahi saliote mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou tamaiki, mo homou ngaahi uaifi, pea mou ʻomi hoʻomou tamai, pea haʻu.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt are yours.
Pea ʻoua naʻa tokanga foki ki hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa: he ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite kotoa.”
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli pea foaki ʻe Siosefa ʻae ngaahi saliote kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Felo, ʻo ne ʻatu honau ʻoho ki he hala.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu, ki he tangata taki taha ʻae ngaahi kofu, ka naʻa ne foaki kia Penisimani ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungeau, mo e ngaahi kofu kotoa kehekehe ʻe nima.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and food for his father by the way.
Pea ne tuku ʻae meʻa ko eni ki heʻene tamai; ko e ʻasi ʻe hongofulu kuo fakaheka ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ko e ʻasi fefine ʻe hongofulu kuo fakaheka ki ai ʻae koane, mo e mā, mo e meʻakai ko e ʻoho ki heʻene tamai ʻi he hala.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that all of you fall not out by the way.
Pea ne tuku hono ngaahi tokoua kenau ʻalu, pea naʻa nau ʻalu: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ke ʻoua naʻa mou kē ʻi he hala.”
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ʻIsipite, ʻo hoko ki he fonua ko Kēnani, kia Sēkope ko ʻenau tamai,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
‌ʻonau talaange kiate ia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku kei moʻui ʻa Siosefa, pea ko e pule ia ʻoe fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite.” Pea lele ai ʻae moʻui ʻo Sēkope, he naʻe ʻikai te ne tui kiate kinautolu.
27 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:
Pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa Siosefa, ʻaia naʻa ne tala kiate kinautolu; pea ʻi heʻene mamata ki he ngaahi saliote naʻe fekau ʻe Siosefa ke fetuku ia, naʻe toe moʻui ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻenau tamai ko Sēkope:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli, “Maʻuā, ʻoku kei moʻui hoku foha ko Siosefa: te u ʻalu ʻo mamata kiate ia ʻi he teʻeki ai teu mate.”
