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.
And Joseph has not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calls, “Put out every man from me”; and no man has stood with him when Joseph makes himself known to his brothers,
2 Og han opløftede sin Røst med Graad, og Ægypterne hørte det, og Faraos Hus hørte det.
and he gives forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh hears.
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 says to his brothers, “I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?” And his brothers have not been able to answer him, for they have been 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 says to his brothers, “Please come near to me,” and they come near; and he says, “I [am] your brother Joseph, whom 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.
and now, do not be grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that you sold me here, for God has sent 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.
Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet five years [remain in] which there is neither plowing 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 sends me before you, to place a remnant of you in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
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.
and now, you have not sent me here, but God, and He sets me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over 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!
Hurry, and go up to my father, then you have said to him, Thus said your son Joseph: God has set me for lord to all Egypt; come down to me, do not stay,
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 have dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near to me, you and your sons, and your son’s sons, and your flock, and your herd, 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 I have nourished you there—for yet [are] five years of famine—lest you become poor, you and your household, and all that you have.
12 Og se, eders Øjne og min Broder Benjamins Øjne se, at jeg taler mundtligen til eder.
And behold, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking to 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 you have declared to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all that you have seen, and you have hurried, and have brought down my father here.”
14 Saa faldt han om Benjamins, sin Broders, Hals og græd, og Benjamin græd om hans Hals.
And he falls on the neck of his brother Benjamin, and weeps, and Benjamin has wept on his neck;
15 Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd over dem, og derefter talede hans Brødre med ham.
and he kisses all his brothers, and weeps over them; and afterward his brothers have spoken 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 sound has been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Joseph have come”; and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of 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 says to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, This you do: load your beasts, and go, enter 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 to me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and you 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.
Indeed, you have been commanded: this you do, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, wagons for your infants, and for your wives, and you have brought 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.
and your eye has no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.”
21 Og Israels Sønner gjorde saa, og Josef gav dem Vogne efter Faraos Ord og gav dem Tæring paa Vejen.
And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph gives wagons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he gives to 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 has he given—to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he has given three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of garments;
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 has sent thus: ten donkeys carrying of the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread, even food for his father for the way.
24 Og han lod sine Brødre fare, og de gik; og han sagde til dem: Kives ikke paa Vejen!
And he sends his brothers away, and they go; and he says to them, “Do not be angry in the way.”
25 Saa droge de op af Ægypten, og de kom til det Land Kanaan, til Jakob, deres Fader.
And they go up out of Egypt, and come to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob,
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 they declare to him, saying, “Joseph [is] yet alive,” and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceases, for he has not given credence to them.
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 speak to him all the words of Joseph, which he has spoken to them, and he sees the wagons which Joseph has sent to carry him away, and the spirit of their father Jacob lives;
28 Og Israel sagde: Det er meget, Josef min Søn lever endnu; jeg vil fare hen og se ham, før jeg dør.
and Israel says, “Enough! My son Joseph [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.”
