Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried out, Cause every man to go out from me. And no man stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Potem se Jožef ni mogel več zadržati pred vsemi tistimi, ki so stali z njim in zaklical je: »Naredite, da vsakdo gre izpred mene.« Noben človek ni stal z njim, medtem ko se je Jožef dal spoznati svojim bratom.
2 And he wept aloud, and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Na glas je zajokal in Egipčani in faraonova hiša so slišali.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph, does my father yet live? And his brothers could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.
Jožef je svojim bratom rekel: »Jaz sem Jožef. Ali moj oče še živi?« Bratje pa mu niso mogli odgovoriti, kajti ob njegovi prisotnosti so bili zbegani.
4 And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near, and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Jožef je svojim bratom rekel: »Približajte se mi, prosim vas.« Prišli so bliže. Rekel je: »Jaz sem vaš brat Jožef, ki ste ga ste prodali v Egipt.
5 And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Zdaj torej ne bodite užaloščeni niti jezni nase, da ste me prodali sèm, kajti Bog me je poslal pred vami, da ohrani življenje.
6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest.
Kajti ti dve leti je bila lakota v deželi in še pet let je, v katerih ne bo niti setve niti žetve.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
Bog pa me je poslal pred vami, da vam na zemlji ohrani potomstvo in da vaša življenja reši z veliko osvoboditvijo.
8 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 ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Tako sedaj niste bili vi, ki ste me poslali sèm, temveč Bog. Naredil me je očeta faraonu in gospodarja vsej njegovi hiši in vladarja po vsej egiptovski deželi.
9 Hasten ye, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me, delay not.
Pohitite in pojdite gor po mojega očeta in mu recite: ›Tako govori tvoj sin Jožef: ›Bog me je naredil gospodarja vsemu Egiptu. Pridi dol k meni, ne mudi se.
10 And thou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shall be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou have.
Prebival boš v gošenski deželi in boš blizu mene, ti in tvoji otroci, tvojih otrok otroci in tvoji tropi, tvoje črede in vse, kar imaš
11 And there will I nourish thee, for there are yet five years of famine, lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou have.
in tam te bom hranil. Kajti še pet let lakote je, da ne bi ti in tvoja družina in vse, kar imaš, prišlo v revščino.‹
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Glejte, vaše oči vidijo in oči mojega brata Benjamina, da so to moja usta, ki vam govorijo.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen. And ye shall hasten and bring down my father here.
Vi pa boste mojemu očetu povedali o vsej moji slavi v Egiptu in o vsem tem, kar ste videli in pohiteli boste in mojega očeta privedli sèm dol.«
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Planil je na vrat svojega brata Benjamina ter zajokal in Benjamin je jokal na njegovem vratu.
15 And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them. And after that his brothers talked with him.
Poleg tega je poljubil vse svoje brate in jokal nad njimi in potem so njegovi bratje govorili z njim.
16 And the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers have come. And it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Njegova slava je bila slišana v faraonovi hiši, rekoč: »Prišli so Jožefovi bratje.« In to je dobro ugajalo faraonu in njegovim služabnikom.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brothers, This do ye: Load your beasts, and go, get you to the land of Canaan,
Faraon je rekel Jožefu: »Reci svojim bratom: ›To storite. Natovorite svoje živali in pojdite in pridite v kánaansko deželo.
18 and take your father and your households, and come to me. And I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Vzemite svojega očeta in svoje družine in pridite k meni in jaz vam bom dal dobrega iz egiptovske dežele, vi pa boste jedli tolščo dežele.
19 Now thou are commanded, this do ye: Take wagons for you out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Sedaj ste zapovedani, storite tole. Vzemite si vozov iz egiptovske dežele za svoje malčke in za svoje žene in pripeljite svojega očeta in pridite.
20 Also do not regard your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Ne ozirajte se na vaše stvari, kajti dobrine vse egiptovske dežele so vaše.‹«
21 And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Izraelovi otroci so tako storili in Jožef jim je dal vozove, glede na faraonovo zapoved in dal jim je popotnico za pot.
22 He gave to all of them, each man, changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Vsem izmed njih je dal, vsakemu moškemu je dal zamenjavo oblačila. Toda Benjaminu je dal tristo koščkov srebra in pet zamenjav oblačila.
23 And he sent to his father according to this manner: ten donkeys laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
Svojemu očetu je poslal na ta način: deset natovorjenih oslov z dobrimi stvarmi iz Egipta in deset oslic, natovorjenih z žitom, kruhom in hrano za svojega očeta po poti.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. And he said to them, See that ye not fall out by the way.
Tako je svoje brate poslal proč in so odrinili in rekel jim je: »Glejte, da se po poti ne prepirate.«
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
Dvignili so se iz Egipta in prišli v kánaansko deželo k svojemu očetu Jakobu
26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
in mu povedali, rekoč: »Jožef je še živ in je guverner nad vso egiptovsko deželo.« Jakobovo srce pa je slabelo, kajti ni jim verjel.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. And when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Povedali so mu vse Jožefove besede, ki jim jih je rekel. In ko je videl vozove, ki jih je poslal Jožef, da ga odpeljejo, je oživel duh njihovega očeta Jakoba.
28 And Israel said, It is enough, Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.
Izrael je rekel: » To je dovolj, moj sin Jožef je še živ. Šel bom in ga pogledal, preden umrem.«
