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.
Afei, na Yosef yɛ ne ho hwee a, ɛnyɛ yiye wɔ nʼasomfo no nyinaa anim. Enti ɔteɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo no se, “Obiara mfi ha nkɔ.” Enti bere a oyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no, na asomfo no mu biara nni hɔ.
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
Osuu denneennen maa Misraimfo no tee, Farao fifo tee asɛm no.
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.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarimanom no se, “Mene Yosef! Mʼagya te ase ana?” Nanso asɛm no bɔɔ wɔn piriw ma wɔtotɔɔ mum wɔ nʼanim.
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.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuabarimanom no se, “Montwiw mmɛn me.” Wotwiw bɛn no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mene mo nuabarima Yosef. Me na motɔn me ma wɔde me kɔɔ Misraim no.
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.
Mommma biribiara nhaw mo. Na monnkasakasa so sɛ motɔn me ma wɔde me baa ha. Onyankopɔn na ɔyɛe. Ɔno na ɔsomaa me, dii mo anim baa ha sɛ mimmegye mo nkwa.
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.
Mfe abien ni a ɔkɔm baa asase yi so. Mfe anum a ɛreba yi nso, obiara rennua, na obiara nso rentwa.
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.
Onyankopɔn asoma me ha sɛ memma mo ne mo fifo ntena nkwa mu, na moayɛ ɔman kɛse.
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.
“Enti ɛnyɛ mo na mode me baa ha, na ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ankasa! Wayɛ me Farao fotufo ne ne fi sohwɛfo, na ɔde Misraiman nyinaa nso ahyɛ me nsa.
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,
Afei, monka mo ho nkɔ mʼagya nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Sɛnea wo babarima Yosef se ni, Onyankopɔn ayɛ me Misraiman nyinaa sohwɛfo. Enti ntwentwɛn wʼanan ase koraa, na bra Misraim!
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.
Wobɛba abɛtena Gosen asase so, na woabɛn me. Fa wo mma, wo nananom, wo nguan ne wʼanantwi ne biribiara a wowɔ bra.
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.’
Sɛ woba hɔ a, mɛhwɛ wo, efisɛ aka saa ɔkɔm kɛse yi mfe anum. Sɛ anyɛ saa a, wo ne wo fifo ne wɔn a wɔka wo ho nyinaa bedi hia buruburoo.’
12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
“Mo ne me nua Benyamin nyinaa di adanse sɛ, ampa ara, ɛyɛ me Yosef na me ne morekasa yi.
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.”
Monka anuonyam a Onyame adom nti, wɔahyɛ me wɔ Misraim asase so ne biribiara a mo ankasa mode mo ani abehu no nyinaa ho asɛm nkyerɛ mʼagya. Monkɔfa mʼagya nsian mmrɛ me ntɛm.”
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.
Ɔyɛɛ Benyamin atuu, sui, a anigye ne awerɛhow adi afra. Benyamin nso fii ase sui.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
Ofifew ne nuanom no nyinaa ano sui, na ɛno akyi no, wotumi ne no kasae.
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.
Bere a wɔtee wɔ Farao fi sɛ Yosef nuanom no aba no, Farao ne ne mpanyimfo a wɔka ne ho no nyinaa ani gyei.
17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
Farao ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ka kyerɛ wo nuanom no se, wɔmfa nneɛma nsoasoa wɔn mmoa no, na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so,
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.’”
na wɔnkɔfa wɔn agya ne wɔn abusuafo nyinaa mmra Misraim asase so ha mmɛtena ha. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Farao bɛma mo Misraim asase no fa a eye pa ara atena so. Wobedi asase no so nnepa!’
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.
“Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momfa nteaseɛnam mfi Misraim ha nkɔfa mo yerenom ne mo mma. Momfa mo agya nso nka ho mmra.
20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
Monnhaw mo ho wɔ mo agyapade ho, efisɛ mede nnepa a ɛwɔ Misraim asase so nyinaa no bi bɛma mo.’”
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.
Enti Yosef maa wɔn nteaseɛnam ne nnuan a wobedi wɔ ɔkwan so, sɛnea Farao hyɛe no.
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.
Ɔmaa ne nuanom no mu biara atade foforo, nanso Benyamin de, ɔmaa no ntade ahorow anum ne dwetɛ kilogram abiɛsa ne fa.
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.
Saa nneɛma a edidi so yi nso na Yosef de kɔmaa nʼagya Israel: mfurumnini du a wɔahyehyɛ Misraim nneɛma pa wɔ wɔn so, mfurummmere du a wɔsoso aburow, brodo ne nnuan ahorow ne nʼakwansoduan.
24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
Ogyaa ne nuanom no kwan, na akwannya no mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monnkɔkasakasa wɔ ɔkwan so.”
25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
Enti wofii Misraimman mu kɔɔ wɔn agya Israel nkyɛn wɔ Kanaan asase so.
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.
Wodui no, wɔde anigye bɔɔ wɔn agya amanneɛ se, “Yosef te ase! Nokwasɛm ni, ɔno na odi Misraiman nyinaa so!” Israel tee saa asɛm no, ne ho dwiriw no. Wannye anni.
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,
Na bere a wɔkaa nsɛm a Yosef ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛka no wiee no, na ohuu nteaseɛnam a Yosef de somaa sɛ wɔmfa mmɛfa no no, wɔn agya Yakob ho san no.
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.”
Na Israel kae se, “Magye nsɛm no nyinaa adi. Me ba Yosef da so te ase. Mɛkɔ akohu no ansa na mawu.”
