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 |
Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
| فَأَطْلَقَ صَوْتَهُ بِٱلْبُكَاءِ، فَسَمِعَ ٱلْمِصْرِيُّونَ وَسَمِعَ بَيْتُ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢ 2 |
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
| وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا يُوسُفُ. أَحَيٌّ أَبِي بَعْدُ؟» فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ إِخْوَتُهُ أَنْ يُجِيبُوهُ، لِأَنَّهُمُ ٱرْتَاعُوا مِنْهُ. | ٣ 3 |
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
| فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لِإِخْوَتِهِ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَيَّ». فَتَقَدَّمُوا. فَقَالَ: «أَنَا يُوسُفُ أَخُوكُمُ ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُمُوهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ٤ 4 |
And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
| وَٱلْآنَ لَا تَتَأَسَّفُوا وَلَا تَغْتَاظُوا لِأَنَّكُمْ بِعْتُمُونِي إِلَى هُنَا، لِأَنَّهُ لِٱسْتِبْقَاءِ حَيَاةٍ أَرْسَلَنِيَ ٱللهُ قُدَّامَكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
| لِأَنَّ لِلْجُوعِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْآنَ سَنَتَيْنِ. وَخَمْسُ سِنِينَ أَيْضًا لَا تَكُونُ فِيهَا فَلَاحَةٌ وَلَا حَصَادٌ. | ٦ 6 |
For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
| فَقَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي ٱللهُ قُدَّامَكُمْ لِيَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ بَقِيَّةً فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِيَسْتَبْقِيَ لَكُمْ نَجَاةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٧ 7 |
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
| فَٱلْآنَ لَيْسَ أَنْتُمْ أَرْسَلْتُمُونِي إِلَى هُنَا بَلِ ٱللهُ. وَهُوَ قَدْ جَعَلَنِي أَبًا لِفِرْعَوْنَ وَسَيِّدًا لِكُلِّ بَيْتِهِ وَمُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. | ٨ 8 |
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in 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 |
Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
| فَتَسْكُنَ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ وَتَكُونَ قَرِيبًا مِنِّي، أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ وَبَنُو بَنِيكَ وَغَنَمُكَ وَبَقَرُكَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
| وَأَعُولُكَ هُنَاكَ، لِأَنَّهُ يَكُونُ أَيْضًا خَمْسُ سِنِينَ جُوعًا. لِئَلَّا تَفْتَقِرَ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُكَ وَكُلُّ مَا لَكَ. | ١١ 11 |
And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
| وَهُوَذَا عْيُونُكُمْ تَرَى، وَعَيْنَا أَخِي بَنْيَامِينَ، أَنَّ فَمِي هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَلِّمُكُمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
| وَتُخْبِرُونَ أَبِي بِكُلِّ مَجْدِي فِي مِصْرَ وَبِكُلِّ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ، وَتَسْتَعْجِلُونَ وَتَنْزِلُونَ بِأَبِي إِلَى هُنَا». | ١٣ 13 |
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
| ثُمَّ وَقَعَ عَلَى عُنُقِ بَنْيَامِينَ أَخِيهِ وَبَكَى، وَبَكَى بَنْيَامِينُ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
| وَقَبَّلَ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَبَكَى عَلَيْهِمْ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمَ إِخْوَتُهُ مَعَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
| وَسُمِعَ ٱلْخَبَرُ فِي بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَقِيلَ: «جَاءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ». فَحَسُنَ فِي عَيْنَيْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفِي عُيُونِ عَبِيدِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «قُلْ لِإِخْوَتِكَ: ٱفْعَلُوا هَذَا: حَمِّلُوا دَوَابَّكُمْ وَٱنْطَلِقُوا، ٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
| وَخُذُوا أَبَاكُمْ وَبُيُوتَكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ، فَأُعْطِيَكُمْ خَيْرَاتِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ وَتَأْكُلُوا دَسَمَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.
| فَأَنْتَ قَدْ أُمِرْتَ، ٱفْعَلُوا هَذَا: خُذُوا لَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ عَجَلَاتٍ لِأَوْلَادِكُمْ وَنِسَائِكُمْ، وَٱحْمِلُوا أَبَاكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا. | ١٩ 19 |
Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
| وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عُيُونُكُمْ عَلَى أَثَاثِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ خَيْرَاتِ جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لَكُمْ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
| فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا. وَأَعْطَاهُمْ يُوسُفُ عَجَلَاتٍ بِحَسَبِ أَمْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ زَادًا لِلطَّرِيقِ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
| وَأَعْطَى كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ حُلَلَ ثِيَابٍ، وَأَمَّا بَنْيَامِينُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَخَمْسَ حُلَلِ ثِيَابٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
| وَأَرْسَلَ لِأَبِيهِ هَكَذَا: عَشْرَةَ حَمِيرٍ حَامِلَةً مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ مِصْرَ، وَعَشَرَ أُتُنٍ حَامِلَةً حِنْطَةً، وَخُبْزًا وَطَعَامًا لِأَبِيهِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
| ثُمَّ صَرَفَ إِخْوَتَهُ فَٱنْطَلَقُوا، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لَا تَتَغَاضَبُوا فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
| فَصَعِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، إِلَى يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيهِمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
| وَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يُوسُفُ حَيٌّ بَعْدُ، وَهُوَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». فَجَمَدَ قَلْبُهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمُوهُ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِ يُوسُفَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَهُمْ بِهِ، وَأَبْصَرَ ٱلْعَجَلَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا يُوسُفُ لِتَحْمِلَهُ. فَعَاشَتْ رُوحُ يَعْقُوبَ أَبِيهِمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,
| فَقَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ: «كَفَى! يُوسُفُ ٱبْنِي حَيٌّ بَعْدُ. أَذْهَبُ وَأَرَاهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
