1 Mojžišova 45
1 Jozef pak nemoha se déle zdržeti, přede všemi přístojícími zvolal: Kažte všechněm ven! I nezůstal žádný s nimi, když se známil Jozef s bratřími svými.
Joseph was not able to control his feelings any longer. He did not want to cry in front of his servants, so he said to them loudly, “All of you go outside!” After they went outside, there was no one else there with Joseph when he told his brothers who he was.
2 Potom pozdvihl hlasu svého s pláčem; a slyšeli to Egyptští, slyšel také dům Faraonův.
He cried so loudly that the people of Egypt who were outside heard it, and even the people in the king’s palace heard it.
3 I řekl Jozef bratřím svým: Já jsem Jozef. Ještě-li jest živ otec můj? A nemohli mu odpovědíti bratří jeho; nebo se ho velmi ulekli.
Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said.
4 Tedy řekl Jozef bratřím svým: Přistuptež medle ke mně. I přistoupili. A řekl: Já jsem Jozef bratr váš, kteréhož jste prodali do Egypta.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt!
5 Protož nyní nermuťte se, a neztěžujte sobě toho, že jste mne sem prodali; nebo pro zachování života vašeho poslal mne Bůh před vámi.
But now, do not be distressed, and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me to people who brought me here, because it was to save you from dying [because of the famine] that God sent me here ahead of you.
6 Nebo dvě létě již hlad jest v zemi, a ještě pět let přijde, v nichž nebudou orati, ani žíti.
There has been a famine in this country for two years, and it will continue for five more years, so that no one will plow ground, and there will be no crops to harvest.
7 Poslal mne, pravím, Bůh před vámi, pro zachování vás ostatků na zemi, a pro zachování životů vašich vysvobozením velikým.
But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
8 Tak tedy ne vy jste mne poslali sem, ale Bůh, kterýž mne dal za otce Faraonovi, a za pána všemu domu jeho, a panovníka po vší zemi Egyptské.
Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt!
9 Pospěšte a vstupte k otci mému, a rcete jemu: Toto praví syn tvůj Jozef: Učinil mne Bůh pánem všeho Egypta; přijdiž ke mně, neprodlévej.
Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately!
10 A bydliti budeš v zemi Gesen; a budeš blízko mne, ty i synové tvoji, i vnukové tvoji, stáda tvá, a volové tvoji, a cožkoli máš.
You can live in the Goshen region. You and your children and your grandchildren, your sheep and goats and cattle, and everything that you own, will be near me.
11 A budu tě chovati tam, (nebo ještě pět let hlad bude), abys snad pro hlad nezahynul, ty i dům tvůj, a cožkoli máš.
Since there will be five more years of famine, I will make sure that you have food. If you do not come here, you and your family and all of your servants will starve. [EUP]”’
12 A aj, oči vaše vidí, i oči bratra mého Beniamina, že ústa má mluví vám.
“Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
13 Povíte také otci mému o vší slávě mé v Egyptě, a což jste koli viděli; pospěštež tedy, a přiveďte otce mého sem.
Go and tell my father about how greatly I am honored here in Egypt. And tell him about everything else that you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly!”
14 Tedy padl na šíji Beniamina bratra svého, a plakal; Beniamin také plakal na šíji jeho.
Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
15 A políbiv všech bratří svých, plakal nad nimi; a potom mluvili bratří jeho s ním.
And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
16 Slyšána pak jest v domě Faraonově pověst tato: Přišli bratří Jozefovi. I bylo to velmi vděčné Faraonovi i všechněm služebníkům jeho.
Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
17 A řekl Farao Jozefovi: Rci bratřím svým: Toto učiňte: Naložíce na hovada svá, jděte, a navraťte se do země Kananejské.
The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
18 A vezmouce otce svého a čeládky své, přiďte ke mně, a dám vám dobré místo v zemi Egyptské, a jísti budete tuk země této.
Then bring your father and your families back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
19 Ty pak rozkaž jim: Toto učiňte: Vezměte sobě z země Egyptské vozy pro děti a ženy své, a vezměte otce svého, a přiďte.
“Also tell this to your brothers: ‘Take some carts from Egypt to carry your children and your wives, and get them and your father and come back here quickly.
20 Aniž se ohlédejte na nábytky své; nebo nejlepší místo ve vší zemi Egyptské vaše bude.
Do not worry about bringing your possessions, because the best things in Egypt will be yours. Because of that, you will not need to bring any of your things from Canaan.’”
21 I učinili tak synové Izraelovi. A dal jim Jozef vozy podlé rozkázaní Faraonova; dal také jim pokrmy na cestu.
Jacob’s sons did what the king suggested. Joseph gave them carts and food to eat along the way, as the king had ordered.
22 Všechněm jim dal, každému dvoje šaty; ale Beniaminovi dal tři sta stříbrných, a patery šaty jiné a jiné.
To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
23 Otci pak svému poslal tyto věci: Deset oslů, kteříž nesli z nejlepších věcí Egyptských, a deset oslic, kteréž nesly obilí, a chléb a pokrmy otci jeho na cestu.
And this is what he sent to his father: Ten male donkeys, loaded with some of the best goods that come from Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other food for his father’s trip to Egypt.
24 A propouštěje bratří své, aby odešli, řekl jim: Nevaďtež se na cestě.
Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
25 Tedy brali se z Egypta, a přišli do země Kananejské k Jákobovi otci svému.
So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
26 A zvěstovali jemu, řkouce: Jozef ještě živ jest, ano i panuje ve vší zemi Egyptské. I omdlelo srdce jeho; nebo slyšev to nevěřil jim.
One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true.
27 Tedy vypravovali jemu všecka slova Jozefova, kteráž mluvil jim; a vida vozy, kteréž poslal Jozef pro něho, okřál duch Jákoba otce jejich.
But they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him and his family and possessions to Egypt. Then their father Jacob’s shock ended.
28 I řekl Izrael: Dostiť jest, když ještě syn můj živ jest; půjdu a uzřím ho, prvé než umru.
He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!”
