< Genesis 45 >

1 And Joseph could not refrain himself when all were standing by him, but said, Dismiss all from me; and no one stood near Joseph, when he made himself known to his brethren.
فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ يُوسُفُ أَنْ يَتَمَالَكَ نَفْسَهُ أَمَامَ الْمَاثِلِينَ أَمَامَهُ، فَصَرَخَ: «لِيَخْرُجِ الْجَمِيعُ مِنْ هُنَا». فَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مَعَ يُوسُفَ حِينَ كَشَفَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ لإِخْوَتِهِ.١
2 And he uttered his voice with weeping; and all the Egyptians heard, and it was reported to the house of Pharao.
وَبَكَى بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ فَسَمِعَ الْمِصْرِيُّونَ كَمَا سَمِعَ بَيْتُ فِرْعَوْنَ.٢
3 And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled.
وَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لإِخْوَتِهِ: «أَنَا يُوسُفُ. فَهَلْ أَبِي مَازَالَ حَيًّا؟» فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ إِخْوَتُهُ أَنْ يُجِيبُوهُ لأَنَّهُمُ امْتَلأُوا رُعْباً مِنْهُ.٣
4 And Joseph said to his brethren, Draw near to me; and they drew near; and he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ لإِخْوَتِهِ: «اُدْنُوا مِنِّي». فَاقْتَرَبُوا مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَنَا يُوسُفُ أَخُوكُمُ الَّذِي بِعْتُمُوهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ.٤
5 Now then be not grieved, and let it not seem hard to you that you sold me hither, for God sent me before you for life.
فَلا تَتَأَسَّفُوا الآنَ، وَلا يَصْعُبْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ بِعْتُمُونِي إِلَى هُنَا، لأَنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَمَامَكُمْ حِفَاظاً عَلَى حَيَاتِكُمْ.٥
6 For this second year there is famine on the earth, and there are yet five years remaining, in which there is to be neither ploughing, nor mowing.
فَقَدْ صَارَ لِلْمَجَاعَةِ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ سَنَتَانِ، وَبَقِيَتْ خَمْسُ سَنَوَاتٍ لَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهَا فَلاحَةٌ وَلا حَصَادٌ.٦
7 For God sent me before you, that there might be left to you a remnant upon the earth, even to nourish a great remnant of you.
وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي اللهُ أَمَامَكُمْ لِيَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ بَقِيَّةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَيُنْقِذَ حَيَاتَكُمْ بِخَلاصٍ عَظِيمٍ.٧
8 Now then you did not send me hither, but God; and he has made me as a father of Pharao, and lord of all his house, and ruler of all the land of Egypt.
فَلَسْتُمْ إِذاً أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتُمُونِي إِلَى هُنَا بَلِ اللهُ، الَّذِي جَعَلَنِي مُسْتَشَاراً لِفِرْعَوْنَ وَسَيِّداً لِكُلِّ بَيْتِهِ، وَمُتَسَلِّطاً عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.٨
9 Hasten, therefore, and go up to my father, and say to him, These things says your son Joseph; God has made me lord of all the land of Egypt; come down therefore to me, and wait not.
فَأَسْرِعُوا وَارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَبِي وَقُولُوا لَهُ: ابْنُكَ يُوسُفُ يَقُولُ: لَقَدْ أَقَامَنِي اللهُ سَيِّداً عَلَى كُلِّ مِصْرَ. تَعَالَ وَلا تَتَبَاطَأْ.٩
10 And you shall dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia; and you shall be near me, you and your sons, and your sons' sons, your sheep and your oxen, and whatever things are your.
فَتُقِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ لِتَكُونَ قَرِيباً مِنِّي أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ وَأَحْفَادُكَ وَغَنَمُكَ وَبَقَرُكَ وَكُلُّ مَالَكَ.١٠
11 And I will nourish you there: for the famine is yet for five years; lest you be consumed, and your sons, and all your possessions.
وَأَعُولُكَ هُنَاكَ لأَنَّ الْجُوعَ سَيَسْتَمِرُّ خَمْسَ سَنَوَاتٍ أُخْرَى، فَلا تَحْتَاجُ أَنْتَ وَعَائِلَتُكَ وَبَهَائِمُكَ.١١
12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
وَهَا أَنْتُمْ وَأَخِي بِنْيَامِينُ شُهُودٌ أَنَّنِي أَنَا حَقّاً الَّذِي يُخَاطِبُكُمْ.١٢
13 Report, therefore, to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all things that you have seen, and make haste and bring down my father hither.
وَتُحَدِّثُونَ أَبِي عَنْ كُلِّ مَجْدِي فِي مِصْرَ وَعَمَّا شَهِدْتُمُوهُ. وَتُسْرِعُونَ فِي إِحْضَارِ أَبِي إِلَى هُنَا».١٣
14 And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept on him; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
ثُمَّ تَعَانَقَ يُوسُفُ وَبِنْيَامِينُ وَبَكَيَا١٤
15 And he kissed all his brethren, and wept on them; and after these things his brethren spoke to him.
وَقَبَّلَ يُوسُفُ بَاقِي إِخْوَتِهِ وَبَكَى مَعَهُمْ. وَعِنْدَئِذٍ فَقَطْ تَجَرَّأَ إِخْوَتُهُ عَلَى مُخَاطَبَتِهِ.١٥
16 And the report was carried into the house of Pharao, saying, Joseph's brethren are come; and Pharao was glad, and his household.
وَسَرَى الْخَبَرُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقِيلَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ، فَسَرَّ ذَلِكَ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَعَبِيدَهُ أَيْضاً.١٦
17 And Pharao said to Joseph, Say to your brethren, Do this; fill your waggons, and depart into the land of Chanaan.
وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «اطْلُبْ مِنْ إِخْوَتِكَ أَنْ يُحَمِّلُوا دَوَابَهُمْ بِالْقَمْحِ وَيَرْجِعُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ،١٧
18 And take up your father, and your possessions, and come to me; and I will give you of all the goods of Egypt, and you shall eat the marrow of the land.
لِيُحْضِرُوا أَبَاهُمْ وَأُسَرَهُمْ وَيَجِيئُوا إِلَيَّ، فَأُعْطِيَهُمْ أَفْضَلَ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَسْتَمْتِعُوا بِخَيْرَاتِهَا.١٨
19 And do you charge them thus; that they should take for them waggons out of the land of Egypt, for your little ones, and for your wives; and take up your father, and come.
وَقَدْ صَدَرَ أَمْرٌ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا لَهُمْ عَرَبَاتٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَنْقُلُوا عَلَيْهَا أَوْلادَهُمْ وَزَوْجَاتِهِمْ وَأَبَاهُمْ وَيَحْضُرُوا إِلَى هُنَا.١٩
20 And be not sparing in regard to your property, for all the good of Egypt shall be yours.
لَا يَكْتَرِثُوا لِمَا يُخَلِّفُونَهُ مِنْ مَتَاعٍ، فَخَيْرَاتُ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا هِيَ لَهُمْ».٢٠
21 And the children of Israel did so; and Joseph gave to them waggons, according to the words spoken by king Pharao; and he gave them provision for the journey.
فَفَعَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ يُوسُفُ عَرَبَاتٍ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَؤُونَةً لِلطَّرِيقِ.٢١
22 And he gave to them all two sets of raiment apiece; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of gold, and five changes of raiment.
وَأَعْطَى كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ حُلَلَ ثِيَابٍ. أَمَّا بِنْيَامِينُ فَخَصَّهُ بِثَلاثِ مِئَةِ قِطْعَةٍ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَخَمْسِ حُلَلِ ثِيَابٍ.٢٢
23 And to his father he sent [presents] at the same rate, and ten asses, bearing some of all the good things of Egypt, and ten mules, bearing bread for his father for your journey.
وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ عَشَرَةَ حَمِيرٍ مُحَمَّلَةٍ بِأَفْضَلِ خَيْرَاتِ مِصْرَ وَعَشْرَ أُتُنٍ مُثْقَلَةٍ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَخُبْزاً وَطَعَاماً يَقْتَاتُ مِنْهَا فِي الطَّرِيقِ.٢٣
24 And he sent away his brethren, and they went; and he said to them, Be not angry by the way.
وَهَكَذَا صَرَفَ إِخْوَتَهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَوْصَاهُمْ: «لا تَتَخَاصَمُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ».٢٤
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan, to Jacob their father.
وَانْطَلَقُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ حَتَّى أَقْبَلُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ يَعْقُوبَ.٢٥
26 And they reported to him, saying, Your son Joseph is living, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt; and Jacob was amazed, for he did not believe them.
فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «إِنَّ يُوسُفَ مَازَالَ حَيًّا، وَهُوَ الْمُتَسَلِّطُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ». فَغُشِيَ عَلَى قَلْبِ يَعْقُوبَ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ.٢٦
27 But they spoke to him all the words uttered by Joseph, whatever he said to them; and having seen the chariots which Joseph sent to take him up, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
ثُمَّ حَدَّثُوهُ بِكَلامِ يُوسُفَ. وَعِنْدَمَا عَايَنَ يَعْقُوبُ الْعَرَبَاتِ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا يُوسُفُ لِتَنْقُلَهُ، انْتَعَشَتْ رُوحُهُ،٢٧
28 And Israel said, It is a great thing for me if Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.
وَقَالَ: «كَفَى! يُوسُفُ ابْنِي حَيٌّ بَعْدُ، سَأَذْهَبُ لأَرَاهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ».٢٨
