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.
Non se poterat ultra cohibere Ioseph multis coram astantibus: unde praecepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras, et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuae.
2 And he uttered his voice with weeping; and all the Egyptians heard, and it was reported to the house of Pharao.
Elevavitque vocem cum fletu: quam audierunt Aegyptii, omnisque domus Pharaonis.
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.
Et dixit fratribus suis: Ego sum Ioseph: adhuc pater meus vivit? Non poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti.
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.
Ad quos ille clementer: Accedite, inquit, ad me. Et cum accessissent prope, Ego sum, ait, Ioseph, frater vester, quem vendidistis in Aegyptum.
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.
Nolite pavere, neque vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus: pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in Aegyptum.
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.
Biennium est enim quod coepit fames esse in terra: et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit nec meti.
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.
Praemisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram, et escas ad vivendum habere possitis.
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.
Non vestro consilio, sed Dei voluntate huc missum sum: qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis, et dominum universae domus eius, ac principem in omni terra Aegypti.
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.
Festinate, et ascendite ad patrem meum, et dicetis ei: Haec mandat filius tuus Ioseph: Deus fecit me dominum universae terrae Aegypti: descende ad me, ne moreris,
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.
et habitabis in terra Gessen: erisque iuxta me tu, et filii tui, et filii filiorum tuorum, oves tuae, et armenta tua, et universa quae possides.
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.
Ibique te pascam (adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis) ne et tu pereas, et domus tua, et omnia quae possides.
12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
En oculi vestri, et oculi fratris mei Beniamin vident quod os meum loquatur ad vos.
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.
Nunciate patri meo universam gloriam meam, et cuncta quae vidistis in Aegypto: festinate, et adducite eum ad me.
14 And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept on him; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Beniamin fratris sui, flevit: illo quoque similiter flente super collum eius.
15 And he kissed all his brethren, and wept on them; and after these things his brethren spoke to him.
Osculatusque est Ioseph omnes fratres suos, et ploravit super singulos: post quae ausi sunt loqui ad eum.
16 And the report was carried into the house of Pharao, saying, Joseph's brethren are come; and Pharao was glad, and his household.
Auditumque est, et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis: Venerunt fratres Ioseph: et gavisus est Pharao, atque omnis familia eius.
17 And Pharao said to Joseph, Say to your brethren, Do this; fill your waggons, and depart into the land of Chanaan.
Dixitque ad Ioseph ut imperaret fratribus suis, dicens: Onerantes iumenta, ite in terram Chanaan,
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.
et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem, et venite ad me: et ego dabo vobis omnia bona Aegypti, ut comedatis medullam terrae.
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.
Praecipe etiam ut tollant plaustra de terra Aegypti, ad subvectionem parvulorum suorum ac coniugum: et dicito: Tollite patrem vestrum, et properate quantocyus venientes.
20 And be not sparing in regard to your property, for all the good of Egypt shall be yours.
Nec demittatis quidquam de supellectili vestra: quia omnes opes Aegypti, vestrae erunt.
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.
Feceruntque filii Israel ut eis mandatum fuerat. Quibus dedit Ioseph plaustra, secundum Pharaonis imperium: et cibaria in itinere.
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.
Singulis quoque proferri iussit binas stolas: Beniamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque stolis optimis:
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.
tantumdem pecuniae et vestium mittens patri suo, addens et asinos decem, qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis Aegypti: et totidem asinas, triticum in itinere, panesque portantes.
24 And he sent away his brethren, and they went; and he said to them, Be not angry by the way.
Dimisit ergo fratres suos, et proficiscentibus ait: Ne irascamini in via.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan, to Jacob their father.
Qui ascendentes ex Aegypto, venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Iacob.
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.
Et nunciaverunt ei, dicentes: Ioseph filius tuus vivit: et ipse dominatur in omni terra Aegypti. Quo audito Iacob, quasi de gravi somno evigilans, tamen non credebat eis.
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.
Illi econtra referebant omnem ordinem rei. Cumque vidisset plaustra, et universa quae miserat, revixit spiritus eius,
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.
et ait: Sufficit mihi si adhuc Ioseph filius meus vivit: vadam, et videbo illum antequam moriar.
