< Genesis 45 >

1 Then Joseph, unable to keep back his feelings before those who were with him, gave orders for everyone to be sent away, and no one was present when he made clear to his brothers who he was.
And not he was able Joseph to restrain himself to all those standing with him and he called out send out every man from with me and not he stood anyone with him when made himself known Joseph to brothers his.
2 And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.
And he gave voice his in weeping and they heard Egypt and it heard [the] household of Pharaoh.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph: is my father still living? But his brothers were not able to give him an answer for they were troubled before him.
And he said Joseph to brothers his I [am] Joseph ¿ still [is] father my living and not they were able brothers his to answer him for they were terrified of him.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.
And he said Joseph to brothers his draw near please to me and they drew near and he said I [am] Joseph brother your whom you sold me Egypt towards.
5 Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.
And now - may not you be grieved and may not it burn in view your that you sold me hither for for preservation of life he sent me God before you.
6 For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.
For this two years the famine [has been] in [the] midst of the land and still five years when there not [will be] plowing and harvest.
7 God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.
And he sent me God before you to make for you a remnant on the earth and to preserve alive for you a deliverance great.
8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
And therefore not you you sent me hither for God and he has appointed me to a father of Pharaoh and to lord of all household his and ruler over all [the] land of Egypt.
9 Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:
Hurry and go up to father my and you will say to him thus he says son your Joseph he has appointed me God to lord of all Egypt come down! to me may not you delay.
10 The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:
And you will dwell in [the] land of Goshen and you will be near to me you and children your and [the] children of children your and sheep your and cattle your and all that [belongs] to you.
11 And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.
And I will provide for you there for still [will be] five years famine lest you should become impoverished you and household your and all that [belongs] to you.
12 Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.
And there! eyes your [are] seeing and [the] eyes of brother my Benjamin that mouth my [is] the [one which] speaks to you.
13 Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.
And you will tell to father my all honor my in Egypt and all that you saw and you will hurry and you will bring down father my hither.
14 Then, weeping, he took Benjamin in his arms, and Benjamin himself was weeping on Joseph's neck.
And he fell on [the] neck of Benjamin brother his and he wept and Benjamin he wept on neck his.
15 Then he gave a kiss to all his brothers, weeping over them; and after that his brothers had no fear of talking to him.
And he kissed all brothers his and he wept over them and after thus they spoke brothers his with him.
16 And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.
And the sound it was heard [the] house of Pharaoh saying they have come [the] brothers of Joseph and it was good in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of servants his.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Put your goods on your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph say to brothers your this do load animal[s] your and go go [the] land of towards Canaan.
18 And get your father and your families and come back to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, and the fat of the land will be your food.
And fetch father your and households your and come to me so let me give to you [the] good thing[s] of [the] land of Egypt and eat [the] fat of the land.
19 And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.
And you you are commanded this do take for yourselves from [the] land of Egypt carts for little one[s] your and for wives your and you will carry father your and you will come.
20 And take no thought for your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
And eye your may not it look with regret on things your for [the] good thing[s] of all [the] land of Egypt [will belong] to you it.
21 And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.
And they did thus [the] sons of Israel and he gave to them Joseph carts on [the] mouth of Pharaoh and he gave to them provision[s] for the journey.
22 To every one of them he gave three changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred bits of silver and five changes of clothing.
To all of them he gave to each changes of clothes and to Benjamin he gave three of hundred silver and five changes of clothes.
23 And to his father he sent ten asses with good things from Egypt on their backs, and ten she-asses with grain and bread and food for his father on the journey.
And to father his he sent according to this ten donkeys carrying some of [the] good thing[s] of Egypt and ten female donkeys carrying grain and food and food for father his for the journey.
24 And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.
And he sent off brothers his and they went and he said to them may not you stir up on the way.
25 So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
And they went up from Egypt and they came [the] land of Canaan to Jacob father their.
26 And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.
And they told to him saying still Joseph [is] alive and that he [is] ruling over all [the] land of Egypt and it grew numb heart his for not he believed them.
27 And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:
And they spoke to him all [the] words of Joseph which he had spoken to them and he saw the carts which he had sent Joseph to carry him and it lived [the] spirit of Jacob father their.
28 And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.
And he said Israel enough still Joseph son my [is] alive I will go so I may see him before I will die.
