וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ אַל־תֵּעָ֣צְב֗וּ וְאַל־יִ֙חַר֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם כִּֽי־מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתִ֖י הֵ֑נָּה כִּ֣י לְמִֽחְיָ֔ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים לִפְנֵיכֶֽם׃
Ngayon nga, huwag kayong magdalamhati at huwag ninyong ikagalit sa inyong sarili na ipinagbili ninyo ako rito, sapagkat upang mapanatili ang buhay ay isinugo ako ng Diyos na mauna sa inyo.

למחיה FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE — i.e. that I may be to you for a preservation of life.
Rashbam
כי למחיה שלחני, G’d has orchestrated all that has happened between us for your own good so that by my providing sustenance in Egypt you will benefit therefrom.
Or HaChaim
ועתה אל תעצבו, "and now do not be sad, etc." We must first understand what Joseph meant when he said: "and now;" what did he want to exclude? Why did he tell the brothers neither to be sad nor to be angry? Besides, psychologically speaking, the feeling of sadness is the opposite of the feeling of anger. A sad person is humble whereas an angry person is arrogant, selfrighteous. Why would Joseph ask the brothers to be neither?
