اَلتَّكْوِينُ 45
| فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ يُوسُفُ أَنْ يَضْبِطَ نَفْسَهُ لَدَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ عِنْدَهُ فَصَرَخَ: «أَخْرِجُوا كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَنِّي». فَلَمْ يَقِفْ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَهُ حِينَ عَرَّفَ يُوسُفُ إِخْوَتَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ. | ١ 1 |
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.
| فَأَطْلَقَ صَوْتَهُ بِٱلْبُكَاءِ، فَسَمِعَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَسَمِعَ بَيْتُ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢ 2 |
But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
| وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا يُوسُفُ. أَحَيٌّ أَبِي بَعْدُ؟» فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ إِخْوَتُهُ أَنْ يُجِيبُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱرْتَاعُوا مِنْهُ. | ٣ 3 |
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.
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ». فَتَقَدَّمُوا. فَقَالَ: «أَنَا يُوسُفُ أَخُوكُمُ ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُمُوهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ٤ 4 |
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!
| وَٱلْآنَ لَا تَتَأَسَّفُوا وَلَا تَغْتَاظُوا لِأَنَّكُمْ بِعْتُمُونِي إِلَى هُنَا، لِأَنَّهُ لِٱسْتِبْقَاءِ حَيَاةٍ أَرْسَلَنِيَ ٱللهُ قُدَّامَكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
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.
| لِأَنَّ لِلْجُوعِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْآنَ سَنَتَيْنِ. وَخَمْسُ سِنِينَ أَيْضًا لَا تَكُونُ فِيهَا فَلَاحَةٌ وَلَا حَصَادٌ. | ٦ 6 |
For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.
| فَقَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي ٱللهُ قُدَّامَكُمْ لِيَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ بَقِيَّةً فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِيَسْتَبْقِيَ لَكُمْ نَجَاةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٧ 7 |
God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
| فَٱلْآنَ لَيْسَ أَنْتُمْ أَرْسَلْتُمُونِي إِلَى هُنَا بَلِ ٱللهُ. وَهُوَ قَدْ جَعَلَنِي أَبًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ وَسَيِّدًا لِكُلِّ بَيْتِهِ وَمُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٨ 8 |
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.
| أَسْرِعُوا وَٱصْعَدُوا إِلَى أَبِي وَقُولُوا لَهُ: هَكَذَا يَقُولُ ٱبْنُكَ يُوسُفُ: قَدْ جَعَلَنِيَ ٱللهُ سَيِّدًا لِكُلِّ مِصْرَ. اِنْزِلْ إِلَيَّ. لَا تَقِفْ. | ٩ 9 |
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.
| فَتَسْكُنَ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ وَتَكُونَ قَرِيبًا مِنِّي، أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ وَبَنُو بَنِيكَ وَغَنَمُكَ وَبَقَرُكَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
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.
| وَأَعُولُكَ هُنَاكَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا خَمْسُ سِنِينَ جُوعًا. لِئَلَّا تَفْتَقِرَ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُكَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَكَ. | ١١ 11 |
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.’
| وَهُوَذَا عْيُونُكُمْ تَرَى، وَعَيْنَا أَخِي بَنْيَامِينَ، أَنَّ فَمِي هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَلِّمُكُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.
| وَتُخْبِرُونَ أَبِي بِكُلِّ مَجْدِي فِي مِصْرَ وَبِكُلِّ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ، وَتَسْتَعْجِلُونَ وَتَنْزِلُونَ بِأَبِي إِلَى هُنَا». | ١٣ 13 |
Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
| ثُمَّ وَقَعَ عَلَى عُنُقِ بَنْيَامِينَ أَخِيهِ وَبَكَى، وَبَكَى بَنْيَامِينُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.
| وَقَبَّلَ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِمْ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمَ إِخْوَتُهُ مَعَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.
| وَسُمِعَ ٱلْخَبَرُ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَقِيلَ: «جَاءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ». فَحَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفِي عُيُونِ عَبِيدِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «قُلْ لِإِخْوَتِكَ: ٱفْعَلُوا هَذَا: حَمِّلُوا دَوَابَّكُمْ وَٱنْطَلِقُوا، ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.
| وَخُذُوا أَبَاكُمْ وَبُيُوتَكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ، فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ خَيْرَاتِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَتَأْكُلُوا دَسَمَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٨ 18 |
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.’
| فَأَنْتَ قَدْ أُمِرْتَ، ٱفْعَلُوا هَذَا: خُذُوا لَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ عَجَلَاتٍ لِأَوْلَادِكُمْ وَنِسَائِكُمْ، وَٱحْمِلُوا أَبَاكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا. | ١٩ 19 |
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.
| وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عُيُونُكُمْ عَلَى أَثَاثِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ خَيْرَاتِ جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لَكُمْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
| فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا. وَأَعْطَاهُمْ يُوسُفُ عَجَلَاتٍ بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ زَادًا لِلطَّرِيقِ. | ٢١ 21 |
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.
| وَأَعْطَى كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ حُلَلَ ثِيَابٍ، وَأَمَّا بَنْيَامِينُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَخَمْسَ حُلَلِ ثِيَابٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
| وَأَرْسَلَ لِأَبِيهِ هَكَذَا: عَشْرَةَ حَمِيرٍ حَامِلَةً مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ مِصْرَ، وَعَشَرَ أُتُنٍ حَامِلَةً حِنْطَةً، وَخُبْزًا وَطَعَامًا لِأَبِيهِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
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.
| ثُمَّ صَرَفَ إِخْوَتَهُ فَٱنْطَلَقُوا، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَتَغَاضَبُوا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”
| فَصَعِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
| وَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يُوسُفُ حَيٌّ بَعْدُ، وَهُوَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». فَجَمَدَ قَلْبُهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
“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.
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمُوهُ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ يُوسُفَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَهُمْ بِهِ، وَأَبْصَرَ ٱلْعَجَلَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا يُوسُفُ لِتَحْمِلَهُ. فَعَاشَتْ رُوحُ يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيهِمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
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.
| فَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ: «كَفَى! يُوسُفُ ٱبْنِي حَيٌّ بَعْدُ. أَذْهَبُ وَأَرَاهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
“Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”
