Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph couldn’t 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.
Nʼoge a, Josef enwekwaghị ike ijite onwe ya aka nʼihu ndị na-ejere ya ozi. O welitara olu sị, “Zipụnụ onye ọbụla site nʼebe m nọ.” Ya mere, o nweghị onye ya na Josef nọ mgbe ọ kọọrọ ụmụnne ya onye ọ bụ.
2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
O tiri mkpu akwa nke ndị Ijipt nụrụ, na nke ndị ụlọ Fero nụkwara.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
Josef gwara ụmụnne ya sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Josef. Nna m ọ ka nọ ndụ ugbu a?” Ma ụmụnne ya enweghị ọnụ ha ji asa ya, nʼihi na oke egwu jidere ha nʼihu ya.
4 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.
Mgbe ahụ, Josef sịrị ụmụnne ya, “Biko, bịanụ m nso.” Mgbe ha bịara ya nso, ọ sịrị ha, “Abụ m nwanne unu, Josef, onye unu rere ree gaa Ijipt.
5 Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Ma otu ọ dị, ka ọ ghara iwute unu, unu atakwala onwe unu ụta nʼihi orure unu rere m. Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼihi ichebe ndụ unu ka Chineke ji buru ụzọ zite m nʼebe a.
6 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.
Oge ụnwụ agwụchabeghị. Ọ bụ ezie na afọ abụọ nke oke ụnwụ agafeela, ma ọ fọdụrụ afọ ise ọzọ nʼihu, oge a na-agaghị akọ ihe ọbụla nʼala, maọbụ iwere ihe ọbụla nʼubi.
7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
Chineke zitere m ka m buru ụzọ bịa nʼebe a nʼihi ime ka ndụ fọdụrụ unu nʼụwa, na ịzọpụta ndụ unu site nʼụzọ nnapụta dị oke egwu.
8 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.
“Ya mere, ọ bụghị unu zitere m nʼebe a, kama ọ bụ Chineke. Ya onwe ya emeela ka m ghọọrọ Fero nna, na onyeisi ezinaụlọ ya niile, na onye na-achị ala Ijipt niile.
9 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. Don’t wait.
Ugbu a, meenụ ngwa lakwuru nna m, sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Josef nwa gị nwoke kwuru, Chineke emeela m onye na-achị Ijipt niile. Egbula oge ịbịakwute m.
10 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.
Ị ga-ebi nʼala Goshen, ka i nwee ike ịnọ m nso, gị na ụmụ gị, na ụmụ ụmụ gị, na igwe ewu na atụrụ gị, na igwe ehi gị, na ihe niile i nwere.
11 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.”’
Nʼebe ahụ ka m ga-enyekwa gị ihe ị chọrọ, nʼihi na ụnwụ afọ ise ka dị nʼihu na-abịa. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, gị na ezinaụlọ gị na ihe niile bụ nke gị ga-ada ụkpa.’
12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
“Nʼezie, anya unu na nʼanya nwanne m Benjamin, ahụla na mụ onwe m ji ọnụ m na-agwa unu okwu ndị a.
13 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.”
Unu ga-akọrọ nna m maka nsọpụrụ niile a na-enye m nʼala Ijipt na ihe niile unu hụrụ. Kpọtakwanụ nna m ọsịịsọ ebe a.”
14 He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Ugbu a, ọ dakwasịrị nʼolu Benjamin, nwanne ya, kwaa akwa. Benjamin jidekwara ya nʼolu kwaa akwa.
15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
Emesịa, o suturu ụmụnne ya niile ọnụ, bekwasịkwa ha akwa. Nʼikpeazụ, ụmụnne ya kpanyeere ya ụka.
16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Mgbe akụkọ a ruru ụlọ Fero na ụmụnne Josef bịara, ọ tọrọ Fero na ndịisi ozi niile ya ụtọ.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
Fero gwara Josef sị ya, “Gwa ụmụnne gị, ka ha mee ihe otu a, ha bokwasị ịnyịnya ibu unu ibu laghachikwa nʼala Kenan.
18 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.’
Ha ruo, ha kpọta nna gị, na ezinaụlọ ha, ka ha lọghachikwute m nʼala Ijipt. Nʼihi na aga m enye ha ala kachasị mma nʼIjipt. Ha onwe ha ga-erikwa uru ala ahụ.
19 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.
“Gwakwa ụmụnne gị okwu sị ha, ‘Sitenụ nʼala Ijipt were ụgbọala, nke unu ga-eji budata ndị nwunye unu na ụmụntakịrị unu. Dutekwanụ nna unu.
20 Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”
Unu esogbula onwe unu banyere ngwa ụlọ unu, nʼihi na ihe niile dị mma nʼala Ijipt bụ nke unu.’”
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Ya mere ụmụ Izrel mere ihe ndị a. Josef nyere ha ụgbọala dịka Fero nyere nʼiwu. O nyekwara ha nri ha ga-eri nʼụzọ.
22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
O nyere onye ọ bụla nʼime ha uwe mgbanwe ọhụrụ, ma o nyere Benjamin narị shekel ọlaọcha atọ, na uwe mgbanwe ise.
23 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.
O zipụụrụ nna ya ihe ndị a: ịnyịnya ibu iri ndị e bokwasịrị ihe mara mma niile si nʼala Ijipt, na nne ịnyịnya ibu iri ndị e bokwasịrị ọka na achịcha, na ihe ndị ọzọ dị iche iche, nʼihi ije ya.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”
O zipụrụ ụmụnne ya. Ma oge ha na-achọ ịhapụ ya, ọ gwara ha sị, “Unu esekwala okwu nʼụzọ.”
25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
Mgbe ahụ, ha hapụrụ ala Ijipt mechaa rute ala Kenan, bịakwute Jekọb nna ha.
26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.
Ha gwara ya sị, “Josef ka nọ ndụ. Nʼezie, ọ bụ ya na-achị ala Ijipt niile.” Ma o siiri Jekọb ike ịnabata akụkọ a. O kwenyeghị na ọ bụ eziokwu.
27 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.
Ma mgbe ha gwasịrị ya ihe niile Josef gwara ha, mgbe ọ hụkwara ụgbọala niile Josef zitere ka e jiri bute ya, mmụọ nna ha Jekọb lọghachiri.
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Mgbe ahụ Izrel kwuru sị, “Ekwetala m! Josef nwa m ka dị ndụ. Aga m aga hụ ya anya tupu m nwụọ.”
