Yuusuf Oo Isu Muujiyey Walaalihiis

45 Markaasaa Yuusuf ku hor adkaysan kari waayay kuwii isaga la taagnaa oo dhan; oo wuxuu ku qayliyey, Nin walba dibadda iiga bixiya. Oo ninnaba lama taagnayn isaga markii Yuusuf walaalihiis isu sheegay. Markaasuu intuu codkiisii kor u qaaday ooyay; oo Masriyiintiina way maqleen, dadkii guriga Fircoonna way maqleen. Markaasuu Yuusuf wuxuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Yuusuf baan ahay, ee aabbahay weli ma nool yahay? Walaalihiisna way u jawaabi kari waayeen; waayo, aad bay ugu argaggexeen hortiisa. Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Bal ii soo dhowaada, waan idin baryayaaye. Kolkaasay u soo dhowaadeen. Markaasuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay walaalkiin Yuusuf, kii aad ka iibiseen kuwii Masar tegayay. Oo haatan ha caloolxumaanina, naftiinnana ha u cadhoonina iibiskii aad halkan iga iibiseen aawadiis; waayo, Ilaah wuxuu hortiin ii soo diray in nafo la badbaadiyo. Waayo, labadan sannadood baa dhulku abaar ahaa, oo weli waxaa hadhay shan sannadood, oo aan beer la fali doonin, waxna la goosan doonin. Oo Ilaah wuxuu hortiin ii soo diray inuu dadkiinna qaar dhulka idiinku reebo, oo uu idiin badbaadiyo kuwo fara badan oo baxsada. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinka ma ahayn kii halkan ii soo diray, laakiinse wuxuu ahaa Ilaah; oo isagu Fircoon buu aabbe iiga dhigay, iyo sayidkii dadka gurigiisa oo dhan, iyo taliyihii dalka Masar oo dhan. Dhaqsada, oo aabbahay u kaca, oo waxaad isaga ku tidhaahdaan, Wiilkaagii Yuusuf wuxuu kugu soo yidhi, Ilaah wuxuu iga dhigay sayidkii Masar oo dhan, ee soo dhaadhac oo ii kaalay, hana raagin; 10 oo waxaad degi doontaa dhulka la yidhaahdo Goshen, oo waad ii soo dhowaan doontaa, adiga iyo carruurtaada, iyo carruurtaada carruurtooda, iyo adhigaaga iyo lo'daada, iyo waxa aad haysatid oo dhanba; 11 oo halkaasaan kugu quudin doonaa; waayo, weli waxaa hadhay shan sannadood oo abaar ah, waaba intaasoo aad gaajootaan, adiga iyo reerkaaga, iyo waxa aad haysatid oo dhammuba. 12 Oo bal eega, indhihiinnu waa arkaan, iyo indhaha walaalkay Benyaamiinba, inuu afkaygii yahay kan idinla hadlaya. 13 Idinku waxaad aabbahay u sheegtaan ammaantayda aan Masar ku leeyahay oo dhan, iyo wixii aad aragteen oo dhan; oo dhaqsada oo aabbahay halkan keena. 14 Markaasuu walaalkiis Benyaamiin qoortiisa dhab yidhi, wuuna ku dul ooyay, Benyaamiinna qoortiisuu ku ooyay. 15 Markaasuu wada dhunkaday walaalihiis oo dhan, wuuna ku dul ooyay; dabadeedna walaalihiis baa la hadlay isagii.

16 Markaasaa warkii laga maqlay gurigii Fircoon, oo waxaa la yidhi, Yuusuf walaalihiis baa yimid. Taasna aad bay uga farxisay Fircoon iyo addoommadiisiiba. 17 Markaasaa Fircoon wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Walaalahaa waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Idinku sidan yeela, gaadiidkiinna rarta, oo taga oo dalkii Kancaan u kaca; 18 oo waxaad soo kaxaysataan aabbihiin iyo reerihiinna oo dhan, oo aniga ii kaalaya; oo anna waxaan idin siin doonaa waxyaalaha wanwanaagsan ee dalka Masar, oo idinku waxaad cuni doontaan barwaaqada dalka. 19 Haddaba waa lagu amray, Sidan yeela. Gaadhifardood dalka Masar uga kaxaysta dhallaankiinna, iyo dumarkiinna; oo aabbihiin keena, oo kaalaya. 20 Oo alaabtiinnana ha ka fikirina, waayo, waxyaalaha wanwanaagsan ee dalka Masar oo dhan idinkaa iska leh. 21 Markaasaa wiilashii Israa'iil saas yeeleen, Yuusufna wuxuu iyagii siiyey gaadhifardood, sidii Fircoon amarkiisu ahaa, sahayna jidkuu u siiyey. 22 Dhammaantoodna wuxuu nin kasta siiyey dhar iskujoog ah; laakiinse Benyaamiin wuxuu siiyey saddex boqol oo xabbadood oo lacag ah, iyo shan iskujoog. 23 Oo aabbihiisna sidan buu wax ugu diray, toban dameer oo ay ku raran yihiin waxyaalihii wanwanaagsanaa ee Masar, iyo toban dameerood oo hadhuudh iyo cunto ku raran yihiin, iyo sahaydii aabbihiis jidka ku soo mari lahaa. 24 Markaasuu walaalihiis diray, oo iyana way tageen; oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Idinku jidka ha isugu cadhoonina. 25 Markaasay Masar ka baxeen, oo ay yimaadeen dalkii Kancaan, oo waxay u yimaadeen aabbahood Yacquub. 26 Markaasay u sheegeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Yuusuf weli waa nool yahay, oo wuxuu u taliyaa dalka Masar oo dhan. Markaasuu taag darnaaday, waayo, wuu rumaysan waayay iyagii. 27 Markaasay u sheegeen hadalkii Yuusuf kula hadlay oo dhan, oo markuu arkay gaadhifardoodkii Yuusuf u soo diray in isaga lagu qaado ayaa aabbahood Yacquub ruuxiisii cusboonaaday. 28 Markaasaa Israa'iil wuxuu yidhi, Igu filan mar haddii wiilkaygii Yuusuf weli nool yahay; haddaba waan tegi doonaa, oo waan arki doonaa isaga intaanan dhiman.

Joseph Makes Himself Known

45 Then Joseph could no longer control himself(A) before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Have everyone leave my presence!”(B) So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. And he wept(C) so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.(D)

Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?”(E) But his brothers were not able to answer him,(F) because they were terrified at his presence.(G)

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.”(H) When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!(I) And now, do not be distressed(J) and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here,(K) because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.(L) For two years now there has been famine(M) in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant(N) on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.[a](O)

“So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God.(P) He made me father(Q) to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.(R) Now hurry(S) back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don’t delay.(T) 10 You shall live in the region of Goshen(U) and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have.(V) 11 I will provide for you there,(W) because five years of famine(X) are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’(Y)

12 “You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin,(Z) that it is really I who am speaking to you.(AA) 13 Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt(AB) and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.(AC)

14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin(AD) embraced him,(AE) weeping. 15 And he kissed(AF) all his brothers and wept over them.(AG) Afterward his brothers talked with him.(AH)

16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace that Joseph’s brothers had come,(AI) Pharaoh and all his officials(AJ) were pleased.(AK) 17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals(AL) and return to the land of Canaan,(AM) 18 and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt(AN) and you can enjoy the fat of the land.’(AO)

19 “You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts(AP) from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come. 20 Never mind about your belongings,(AQ) because the best of all Egypt(AR) will be yours.’”

21 So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts,(AS) as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.(AT) 22 To each of them he gave new clothing,(AU) but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[b] of silver and five sets of clothes.(AV) 23 And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys(AW) loaded with the best things(AX) of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.(AY) 24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, “Don’t quarrel on the way!”(AZ)

25 So they went up out of Egypt(BA) and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.(BB) 26 They told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.”(BC) Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.(BD) 27 But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts(BE) Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 And Israel said, “I’m convinced!(BF) My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”(BG)

45 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.

And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:

10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:

11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.

13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.

14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;

18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is your's.

21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.

23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,

26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.

27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:

28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
