Genesis 45
1 Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
Ary Josefa tsy nahatsindry ny fangorakoraky ny fony intsony teo anatrehan’ izay rehetra teo aminy; dia niantso izy ka nanao hoe: Avoahy ny olona rehetra hiala eto amiko. Ary dia tsy nisy olona na dia iray aza nijanona teo amin’ i Josefa, raha nanao izay hahafantaran’ ny rahalahiny azy izy.
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
Dia nitomany mafy izy, ka ren’ ny Egyptiana, ary ren’ ny tao an-tranon’ i Farao koa.
3 And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
Ary hoy Josefa tamin’ ny rahalahiny: Izaho no Josefa; mbola velona ihany va ikaky? Ary tsy nahavaly azy ny rahalahiny; fa toran-kovitra teo anatrehany ireo.
4 And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Ary hoy Josefa tamin’ ny rahalahiny: Avia, manatòna ahy ianareo. Dia nanatona ireo. Ary hoy Josefa: Izaho no Josefa rahalahinareo, ilay namidinareo ho atỳ Egypta.
5 Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
Ary ankehitriny, aza malahelo na tezitra amin’ ny tenanareo noho ny nivarotanareo ahy ho atỳ; fa hamonjy aina no nampandehanan’ Andriamanitra ahy hialoha anareo atỳ.
6 For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
Fa roa taona izao no efa nisian’ ny mosary teto amin’ ny tany; ary mbola misy dimy taona koa, izay tsy hisy hiasan-tany na hijinjana.
7 And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
Ary Andriamanitra efa nampandeha ahy hialoha anareo, mba tsy hahalany taranaka anareo amin’ ny tany, fa hamelona anareo amin’ ny famonjena lehibe.
8 I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ary amin’ izany, tsy ianareo no nampandeha ahy ho atỳ, fa Andriamanitra; ary Izy nanao ahy ho rain’ i Farao, sy ho tompon’ ny ao an-tranony rehetra, ary ho mpanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra.
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
Andeha miakatra faingana ianareo ho any amin’ ikaky, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no tenin’ i Josefa zanakao: Efa nataon’ Andriamanitra ho tompon’ i Egypta rehetra aho; ka midìna hankatỳ amiko, fa aza mijanona;
10 and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
dia honina eo amin’ ny tany Gosena ianao, ka ho eo akaikiko ianao sy ny zanakao sy ny zafinao ary ny ondry aman’ osinao sy ny ombinao mbamin’ izay rehetra anananao.
11 And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
Dia hamelona anao eo aho (fa mbola haharitra dimy taona ny mosary), fandrao ho lany harena ianao sy ny ankohonanao ary izay rehetra anananao.
12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
Ary, indro, hitan’ ny masonareo sy ny mason’ i Benjamina rahalahiko izao fa ny vavako no miteny aminareo.
13 You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
Dia hambaranareo amin’ ikaky ny voninahitro rehetra atỳ Egypta sy izay rehetra efa hitanareo; koa mandehana faingana ianareo, ka ento midìna atỳ ikaky.
14 And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
Dia namihina ny vozon’ i Benjamina rahalahiny izy ka nitomany; ary Benjamina koa dia mba nitomany teo amin’ ny vozony.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
Ary dia nanoroka ny rahalahiny rehetra izy ka nitomany teo am-pamihinany azy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niresaka taminy ireo rahalahiny.
16 And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
Ary re tao an-tranon’ i Farao ny teny hoe: Tonga ny rahalahin’ i Josefa; dia sitrak’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony izany.
17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
Ary hoy Farao tamin’ i Josefa: Lazao amin’ ny rahalahinao: Izao no ataovy: ataingeno ny entana ho entin’ ny bibinareo, ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tany Kanana;
18 and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’”
ary alao ny rainareo sy ny ankohonanareo, ka mankanesa atỳ amiko; ary dia homeko anareo ny tsara eto amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka hihinana ny matavy eto amin’ ny tany ianareo.
19 “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
Ary ankehitriny efa nomena teny ianao, ka izao no ataovy: makà sariety amin’ ny tany Egypta hitondranareo ny vady aman-janakareo, ary ento ny rainareo, ka mankanesa atỳ.
20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
Aza malahelo ny amin’ ny fanakareo; fa anareo izay tsara eto amin’ ny tany Egypta rehetra.
21 And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
Ary nataon’ ny zanak’ Isiraely izany, ka dia nomen’ i Josefa sariety izy, araka ny tenin’ i Farao; ary nomeny vatsy koa ho entiny eny an-dalana izy.
22 Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
Ary izy rehetra samy nomeny akanjo indray miova avy; fa Benjamina kosa nomeny sekely volafotsy telon-jato sy akanjo indimy miova.
23 And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
Ary izao kosa no nampitondrainy ho an-drainy: borikilahy folo nitondra zava-tsoa avy tany Egypta, sy borikivavy folo nitondra vary sy mofo, ary vatsy ho an’ ny rainy ho entiny eny an-dalana.
24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
Dia nampandehaniny ny rahalahiny, ka lasa nandeha izy ireo; ary hoy Josefa taminy: Aza mifanditra eny an-dalana ianareo.
25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
Dia niakatra avy tany Egypta izy ireo ka tonga tany amin’ i Jakoba rainy tany amin’ ny tany Kanana.
26 And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
Dia nilaza taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Mbola velona ihany Josefa, ary izy no mpanapaka ny tany Egypta rehetra, kanefa nangatsiaka ihany ny fon’ i Jakoba, fa tsy nino azy izy.
27 To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
Dia nolazain’ izy ireo ny teny rehetra izay efa nolazain’ i Josefa taminy: ary rehefa hitany ny sariety izay efa nampitondrain’ i Josefa hitondrana azy, dia izay vao velona indray ny fanahin’ i Jakoba rainy
28 and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Ary hoy Isiraely: Aoka ary, fa mbola velona ihany Josefa zanako; handeha aho ka hahita azy, dieny tsy mbola maty aho.
