1 Mosebog 45
1 Og Josef kunde ikke holde sig for alle dem, som stode hos ham, og han raabte: Lader hver Mand gaa ud fra mig; og ikke een Mand stod hos ham, der Josef lod sig kende for sine Brødre.
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.
2 Og han opløftede sin Røst med Graad, og Ægypterne hørte det, og Faraos Hus hørte det.
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 Og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: Jeg er Josef; lever min Fader endnu? og hans Brødre kunde ikke svare ham; thi de forfærdedes for hans Ansigt.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 Da sagde Josef til sine Brødre: Kommer dog hid til mig; og de gik frem; og han sagde: Jeg er Josef, eders Broder, som I solgte til Ægypten.
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 all of you sold into Egypt.
5 Men værer nu ikke bekymrede, og lader det ikke være mishageligt for eders Øjne, at I solgte mig hid; thi for at I skulde blive holdte ved Live, har Gud sendt mig hid foran eder.
Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that all of you sold me here: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 Thi nu har der været to Aar Hunger i Landet, og endnu er der fem Aar, i hvilke der ikke skal være Pløjning eller Høst.
For these two years has the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earring nor harvest.
7 Men Gud har sendt mig foran eder, at lade eder blive tilovers i Landet og at lade eder leve, til en stor Befrielse.
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 Og nu, ikke I have sendt mig hid, men Gud; og han har sat mig til en Fader for Farao og til en Herre over alt hans Hus og til en Hersker i alt Ægyptens Land.
So now it was not you that sent me here, but God: and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Skynder eder og drager op til min Fader, og I skulle sige til ham: Saa siger din Søn Josef: Gud har sat mig til en Herre over al Ægypten; kom ned til mig, tøv ikke!
Haste all of you, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
10 Og du skal bo i Gosen Land og være nær hos mig, du og dine Børn og dine Børnebørn og dit Kvæg og dine Øksen og alt det, du har.
And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near unto me, you, and your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and all that you have:
11 Og jeg vil opholde dig der; thi endnu er der fem Aar Hunger; paa det du ikke skal forarmes, du og dit Hus og alt det, som tilhører dig.
And there will I nourish you; for yet there are five years of famine; lest you, and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty.
12 Og se, eders Øjne og min Broder Benjamins Øjne se, at jeg taler mundtligen til eder.
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks unto you.
13 Og I skulle forkynde min Fader al min Herlighed i Ægypten, og alt det, som I have set; og skynder eder og lader min Fader komme hid ned.
And all of you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that all of you have seen; and all of you shall haste and bring down my father here.
14 Saa faldt han om Benjamins, sin Broders, Hals og græd, og Benjamin græd om hans Hals.
And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd over dem, og derefter talede hans Brødre med ham.
Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 Og det rygtedes i Faraos Hus, og der sagdes: Josefs Brødre ere komne; det var godt baade i Faraos Øjne og i hans Tjeneres Øjne.
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 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Sig til dine Brødre: gører dette, belæsser eders Dyr og gaar, at I maa komme til Kanaans Land.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto your brethren, This do all of you; load your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 Og tager eders Fader og eders Husfolk og kommer til mig, og jeg vil give eder det bedste i Ægyptens Land, at I skulle æde af Landets Fedme.
And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and all of you shall eat the fat of the land.
19 Og det er dig befalet: gører dette; tager eder Vogne af Ægyptens Land til eders Børn og til eders Hustruer, og fører eders Fader der paa og kommer.
Now you are commanded, this do all of you; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Og lader eders Øjne ikke se hen til eders Boskab; thi det bedste, som er i alt Ægyptens Land, er eders.
Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt are yours.
21 Og Israels Sønner gjorde saa, og Josef gav dem Vogne efter Faraos Ord og gav dem Tæring paa Vejen.
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 Han gav alle, hver især, Klædninger til at skifte med; men Benjamin gav han tre Hundrede Sekel Sølv og fem Klædninger til at skifte med.
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 Og han sendte sin Fader ligervis ti Asener, som bare af Ægyptens bedste Gods, og ti Aseninder, som bare Korn og Brød og Føde, til hans Fader paa Vejen.
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 food for his father by the way.
24 Og han lod sine Brødre fare, og de gik; og han sagde til dem: Kives ikke paa Vejen!
So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that all of you fall not out by the way.
25 Saa droge de op af Ægypten, og de kom til det Land Kanaan, til Jakob, deres Fader.
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 Og de forkyndte ham, sigende: Josef lever endnu, og han er en Hersker over alt Ægyptens Land; men hans Hjerte blev koldt, thi han troede dem ikke.
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 Da sagde de ham alle Josefs Ord, som han havde sagt til dem, og han saa Vognene, som Josef havde sendt til at føre ham paa; og Jakobs, deres Faders, Aand blev levende.
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 Og Israel sagde: Det er meget, Josef min Søn lever endnu; jeg vil fare hen og se ham, før jeg dør.
And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
