Genesis 45
1 Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
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 lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
Na glas je zajokal in Egipčani in faraonova hiša so slišali.
3 And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
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 he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you 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 Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
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 it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
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 ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
Bog pa me je poslal pred vami, da vam na zemlji ohrani potomstvo in da vaša življenja reši z veliko osvoboditvijo.
8 I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout 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 Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
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 you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
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 I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
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 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
Glejte, vaše oči vidijo in oči mojega brata Benjamina, da so to moja usta, ki vam govorijo.
13 You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
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 then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
Planil je na vrat svojega brata Benjamina ter zajokal in Benjamin je jokal na njegovem vratu.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
Poleg tega je poljubil vse svoje brate in jokal nad njimi in potem so njegovi bratje govorili z njim.
16 And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
Njegova slava je bila slišana v faraonovi hiši, rekoč: »Prišli so Jožefovi bratje.« In to je dobro ugajalo faraonu in njegovim služabnikom.
17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into 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 from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow 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 “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
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 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
Ne ozirajte se na vaše stvari, kajti dobrine vse egiptovske dežele so vaše.‹«
21 And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
Izraelovi otroci so tako storili in Jožef jim je dal vozove, glede na faraonovo zapoved in dal jim je popotnico za pot.
22 Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
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 just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
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 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on 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 ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
Dvignili so se iz Egipta in prišli v kánaansko deželo k svojemu očetu Jakobu
26 And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet 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 To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit 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 he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still 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.«
