Genesis 45 (ILOULB)

1Ket saan a nalapdan ni Jose ti bagina iti sangoanan dagiti amin nga adipen a nakatakder iti abayna. Kinunana iti napigsa, “Panawandak, dakayo amin.” Awan iti adipen a nagtalinaed a nakatakder iti abay ni Jose idi inyam-ammona ti bagina kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki.Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.

2Nagsangit iti napigsa, nangngeg dagiti Egipcio daytoy, ken nangngeg iti balay ti Faraon daytoy.But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.

3Kinuna ni Jose kadagiti kakabsatna, “Siak ni Jose. Sibibiag pay kadi ti amak?” Saan a masungbatan dagiti kakabsatna isuna, ta naklaatda iti sangoananna.Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.

4Ket kinunana ni Jose kadagiti kakabsatna, “Pangngaasiyo ta umasidegkayo kaniak.” Immasidegda. Kinunana, “Siak ni Jose a kabsatyo, nga inlakoyo ditoy Egipto.Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!

5Ket ita, saankayo nga agladingit wenno makaunget kadagiti bagbagiyo iti panangilakoyo kaniak ditoy, ta imbaonnak ti Dios nga immuna kadakayo tapno maisalbar ti biag.And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.

6Ta iti daytoy dua a tawen, adda panagbisin iti daga, ket adda pay lima a tawen nga awanto iti agarado wenno agapit.For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.

7Imbaonnak ti Dios nga immuna kadakayo tapno maisalakankayo ken dagiti kaputotanyo, ken tapno maisalbarkayo ket adu kadakayo iti makalasat.God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8Ita ngarud, saan a dakayo iti nangibaon kaniak ditoy no di ket ti Dios, ken pinagbalinnak a kasla ama iti Faraon, apo ti amin a balayna, ken mangituray iti amin a daga iti Egipto.Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9Agalistokayo a mapan iti ayan ti amak ket ibagayo kenkuana, 'Daytoy ti imbaga ti anakyo a ni Jose, Pinagbalinnak ti Dios nga apo iti amin nga Egipto. Umayka kaniak, saanka nga agtaktak.Now return quickly 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 without delay.

10Agnaedkanto iti daga ti Gosen, ket asidegkanto kaniak, sika ken dagiti annakmo ken dagiti annak dagiti annakmo, ken dagiti arbanyo, ken amin nga adda kenka.You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.

11Ipaaykonto amin a kasapulanyo sadiay, ta adda pay lima a tawen ti panagbisin, tapno saanka nga agbisin, sika, ti sangakabalayam, ken amin nga adda kenka.'And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’

12Kitaenyo, makita dagiti matayo, ken iti mata ti kabsatko a ni Benjamin, a ngiwatko ti agsasao kadakayo.Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.

13Ibagayo iti amak ti amin maipanggep iti kinaturayko iti Egipto, ken amin a nakitayo, Agalistokayo a mangiyeg iti amak ditoy.”Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”

14Inarakopna ti tengnged ti kabsatna a ni Benjamin ken nagsangit, ket nagsangit met ni Benjamin iti tengngedna.Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.

15Inagkanna amin dagiti kakabsatna ket nagsangit kadakuada. Kalpasan dayta, nakisarita dagiti kakabsatna kenkuana.Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.

16Naipadamag dayta a banag iti balay ti Faraon: “Immay dagiti kakabsat ni Jose.” Naragsakan ti Faraon ken dagiti adipen iti daytoy.When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.

17Kinuna ti Faraon kenni Jose, “Ibagam kadagiti kakabsatmo, 'Kastoy ti aramidenyo: Paawitanyo dagiti ayupyo ket mapankayo iti daga ti Canaan.Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.

18Alaenyo ti amayo ken dagiti sangkabalayanyo ket umaykayo kaniak. itedkonto kadakayo ti kasayaatan a daga ti Egipto, ket mangankayonto iti patauden ti daga.'Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’

19Ita ibilinko pay kenka nga ibagam ti kastoy, 'Aramidenyo daytoy, mangiruarkayo kadagiti kariton manipud iti daga ti Egipto para kadagiti annakyo ken para kadagiti assawayo. Alaenyo ti amayo ket umaykayo.You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.

20Saanyo a pakaseknan ti maipanggep kadagiti sanikuayo, ta kukuayo ti kasayaatan iti amin a daga iti Egipto.'”But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21Kasta ngarud ti inaramid dagiti putot a lallaki ni Israel. Inikkan ida ni Jose kadagiti kariton, segun iti bilin ti Faraon, ken inikkanna ida iti balon a para iti panagdaliasatda.So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.

22Kadakuada amin, nangted isuna iti tunggal lalaki iti pagsukatan a bado, ngem kenni Benjamin, nangted isuna iti tallo gasut a pidaso ti pirak ken lima a pagsukatan a bado.He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.

23Para iti amana, impatulodna dagitoy: Sangapulo nga asno a napaawitan kadagiti kasayaatan a banbanag iti Egipto; ken sangapulo a kabaian nga asno a napaawitan iti bukbukel, tinapay, ken dadduma a kasapulan a maipaay iti amana, iti panagdaliasatna.And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.

24Imbaonna ngarud dagiti kakabsatna ket pimmanawda. Kinunana kadakuada, “Kitaenyo ta amangan no agaapakayo iti panagdaliasatyo.”Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”

25Rimmuarda iti Egipto ket dimtengda iti daga ti Canaan, kenni Jacob nga amada.So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

26Imbagada kenkuana a kunada, “Sibibiag pay ni Jose, ken isuna ti mangiturturay iti amin a daga iti Egipto.” Ket kasta unay ti siddaaw ti pusona, ta saan a mamati kadakuada.“Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.

27Imbagada kenkuana amin dagiti sasao nga imbaga ni Jose kadakuada. Idi nakita ni Jacob kadagiti kariton nga impatulod ni Jose a mangilugan kenkuana, naparegta ti espiritu ti amada a ni Jacob.However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.

28Kinuna ni Israel, “Naan-anayen. Sibibiag pay ti anakko a ni Jose. Mapanko kitaen isuna sakbay a matayak.”“Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
