Jenèz 45
1 Jozèf pa t' kapab kenbe ankò devan tout moun ki t'ap sèvi l' yo. Li di byen fò: -Fè tout moun soti. Se konsa, pesonn pa t' la avèk Jozèf lè li fè frè l' yo rekonèt li.
And Joseph could not refrain himself when all were standing by him, but said, Dismiss all from me; and no one stood near Joseph, when he made himself known to his brethren.
2 Li te pran kriye byen fò, tèlman fò moun peyi Lejip yo te tande l'. Bri a te rive jouk lakay farawon an.
And he uttered his voice with weeping; and all the Egyptians heard, and it was reported to the house of Pharao.
3 Jozèf di frè l' yo: -Se mwen menm Jozèf. Eske papa m' vivan toujou? Men frè l' yo pa t' kapab reponn li paske yo te boulvèse lè yo wè l' devan yo.
And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled.
4 Jozèf di frè l' yo: -Pwoche vin pi pre m'. Yo pwoche, li di yo: -Se mwen menm Jozèf wi, frè nou an. Se mwen menm wi nou te vann bay moun ki tapral peyi Lejip la.
And Joseph said to his brethren, Draw near to me; and they drew near; and he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 Men koulye a, nou pa bezwen boulvèse. Nou pa bezwen règrèt nou te vann mwen pou yo mennen m' isit la. Se Bondye ki te voye m' devan pou m' te ka sove lavi nou.
Now then be not grieved, and let it not seem hard to you that you sold me hither, for God sent me before you for life.
6 Sa fè dezan depi grangou tonbe sou peyi a. Men, p'ap gen mwayen travay latè ni fè rekòt pou senk lanne ankò.
For this second year there is famine on the earth, and there are yet five years remaining, in which there is to be neither ploughing, nor mowing.
7 Bondye te voye m' vini devan pou ras nou an pa t' fini nan peyi a, pou m' te ka sove lavi nou, pou nou pa mouri.
For God sent me before you, that there might be left to you a remnant upon the earth, even to nourish a great remnant of you.
8 Nou wè. Se pa nou menm ki te voye m' isit la, men se Bondye. Se Bondye menm ki mete m' sèvi yon papa pou farawon an. Mwen se chèf nan tout kay li, se mwen k'ap gouvènen tout peyi Lejip la.
Now then you did not send me hither, but God; and he has made me as a father of Pharao, and lord of all his house, and ruler of all the land of Egypt.
9 Koulye a, prese tounen kay papa m'. Al di l': Men sa Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan, voye di l': Bondye mete m' chèf sou tout peyi Lejip la. Desann vin jwenn mwen. Pa mize.
Hasten, therefore, and go up to my father, and say to him, These things says your son Joseph; God has made me lord of all the land of Egypt; come down therefore to me, and wait not.
10 Ou pral rete nan peyi Gochenn. Konsa, w'a toupre m', ou menm ansanm ak pitit ou yo, pitit pitit ou yo, mouton ou yo, bèf ou yo ak tout sa ou genyen.
And you shall dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia; and you shall be near me, you and your sons, and your sons' sons, your sheep and your oxen, and whatever things are your.
11 Lè wa Gochenn, m'a pran swen ou, paske grangou a la pou senk lanne ankò.
And I will nourish you there: for the famine is yet for five years; lest you be consumed, and your sons, and all your possessions.
12 Koulye a, nou wè, pa vre. Benjamen, frè m' lan, wè tout se mwen menm menm Jozèf k'ap pale ak nou an.
Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13 Fè papa m' konnen jan moun respekte m' isit nan peyi Lejip. Rakonte l' tou sa nou wè. Prese mennen papa m' desann isit la.
Report, therefore, to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all things that you have seen, and make haste and bring down my father hither.
14 Epi li lage kò l' nan bra Benjamen, frè li a, li konmanse kriye ankò. Benjamen tout t'ap kriye sou zepòl li.
And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept on him; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15 Apre sa, li bo tout frè li yo, li t'ap kriye toujou. Lèfini, frè l' yo pran pale ak li.
And he kissed all his brethren, and wept on them; and after these things his brethren spoke to him.
16 Lè moun lakay farawon yo vin konnen frè Jozèf yo te vini, sa te fè farawon an ak chèf li yo kontan.
And the report was carried into the house of Pharao, saying, Joseph's brethren are come; and Pharao was glad, and his household.
17 Farawon an di Jozèf konsa: -Pale ak frè ou yo. Di yo men sa pou yo fè: Chaje bèt yo, ale nan peyi Kanaran.
And Pharao said to Joseph, Say to your brethren, Do this; fill your waggons, and depart into the land of Chanaan.
18 Lè y'a rive, y'a pran papa yo ak tout fanmi yo, y'a tounen vin jwenn mwen. m'a ba yo pi bon tè ki nan peyi Lejip la pou fè jaden. Y'a manje pi bon manje ki gen nan peyi a.
And take up your father, and your possessions, and come to me; and I will give you of all the goods of Egypt, and you shall eat the marrow of the land.
19 Ou menm poutèt pa ou, w'a di yo sa pou yo fè. Y'a pran kèk cha nan peyi Lejip la pou timoun yo ak madanm yo. Y'a mennen papa yo vini.
And do you charge them thus; that they should take for them waggons out of the land of Egypt, for your little ones, and for your wives; and take up your father, and come.
20 Yo pa bezwen règrèt kite anyen, paske se pi bon bagay nan tout peyi Lejip la m'ap ba yo.
And be not sparing in regard to your property, for all the good of Egypt shall be yours.
21 Se sa menm pitit Izrayèl yo te fè. Jozèf ba yo kèk cha jan farawon an te ba li lòd la. Li ba yo pwovizyon pou fè vwayaj la.
And the children of Israel did so; and Joseph gave to them waggons, according to the words spoken by king Pharao; and he gave them provision for the journey.
22 Li ba yo chak yon rad tout nèf. Men, li bay Benjamen twasan (300) pyès lajan ak senk rad nèf.
And he gave to them all two sets of raiment apiece; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of gold, and five changes of raiment.
23 Apre sa, li pran dis mal bourik chaje ak pi bon bagay ki te nan peyi Lejip la, dis fenmèl bourik chaje ak ble ak pen ak tout kalite lòt pwovizyon ankò, li voye bay papa l' pou l' ka fè vwayaj la.
And to his father he sent [presents] at the same rate, and ten asses, bearing some of all the good things of Egypt, and ten mules, bearing bread for his father for your journey.
24 Lè l'ap voye frè l' yo pati, li di yo: -Piga nou chache kont yonn ak lòt nan chemen an, tande.
And he sent away his brethren, and they went; and he said to them, Be not angry by the way.
25 Yo kite peyi Lejip, yo rive Kanaran lakay Jakòb, papa yo.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan, to Jacob their father.
26 Yo di l': -Papa, Jozèf la toujou wi. Se li menm k'ap gouvènen peyi Lejip la wi. Men, Jakòb rete tout frèt, paske li pa t' kwè yo.
And they reported to him, saying, Your son Joseph is living, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt; and Jacob was amazed, for he did not believe them.
27 Men, lè yo rakonte l' tout sa Jozèf te di yo, lè li wè cha Jozèf te voye pou l' te ka vwayaje a, Jakòb gen yon sèl kontantman ki pran l'.
But they spoke to him all the words uttered by Joseph, whatever he said to them; and having seen the chariots which Joseph sent to take him up, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
28 Li di yo: -Se kont. Jozèf, pitit mwen an, vivan toujou. Fòk m ale pou m' ka wè l' anvan m' mouri.
And Israel said, It is a great thing for me if Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.
