Genesis 45
1 And Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him, and he cried, Put every man out from me! And no man stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brethren.
Da kunde Josef ikke længer beherske sig over for alle dem der stod hos ham, og han råbte "Lad alle gå ud!" Således var der ingen til Stede, da Josef gav sig til Kende for sine Brødre.
2 And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Så brast han i lydelig Gråd, så Ægypterne hørte det, og det spurgtes i Faraos Hus;
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 at his presence.
og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: "Jeg er Josef! Lever min Fader endnu?" Men hans Brødre kunde ikke svare ham, så forfærdede var de for ham.
4 And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Så sagde Josef til sine Brødre: "Kom hen til mig!" Og da de kom derhen, sagde Josef: "Jeg er eders Broder Josef, som I solgte til Ægypten;
5 And now, be not grieved, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
men I skal ikke græmme eder eller være forknytte, fordi I solgte mig herhen, thi Gud har sendt mig forud for eder for at opholde Liv;
6 For the famine has been these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest.
i to År har der nu været Hungersnød i Landet, og fem År endnu skal der hverken pløjes eller høstes;
7 So God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
derfor sendte Gud mig forud for eder, for at I kan få Efterkommere på Jorden, og for at mange hos eder kan reddes og holdes i Live.
8 And 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 governor over all the land of Egypt.
Og nu, ikke I, men Gud har sendt mig hid, og han har gjort mig til Fader hos Farao og til Herre over hele hans Hus og til Hersker over hele Ægypten.
9 Haste 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, tarry not.
Skynd jer nu hjem til min Fader og sig til ham: Din Søn Josef lader sige: Gud har sat mig til Hersker over hele Ægypten; kom uden Tøven ned til mig
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast.
og tag Bolig i Gosens Land og bo i min Nærhed med dine Sønner og Sønnesønner, dit Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og alt, hvad du ejer og har;
11 And there will I maintain thee; for yet there are five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.
der vil jeg sørge for dit Underhold - thi Hungersnøden vil vare fem År endnu - for at ikke du, dit Hus eller nogen, der hører dig til, skal gå til Grunde!
12 And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which speaks to you.
Nu ser I, også min Broder Benjamin, med egne Øjne, at det er mig, der taler til eder;
13 And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen, and haste and bring down my father hither.
og I skal fortælle min Fader om al min Herlighed i Ægypten og om alt, hvad I har set, og så skal I skynde eder at bringe min Fader herned."
14 And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Så faldt han grædende sin Broder Benjamin om Halsen, og Benjamin græd i hans Arme.
15 And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him.
Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd ved deres Bryst; og nu kunde hans Brødre tale med ham.
16 And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen.
Men det spurgtes i Faraos Hus, at Josefs Brødre var kommet, og Farao og hans Tjenere glædede sig derover:
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart, go into the land of Canaan,
og Farao sagde til Josef: "Sig til dine Brødre: Således skal I gøre: Læs eders Dyr og drag til Kana'ans Land,
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.
hent eders Fader og eders Familier og kom hid til mig, så vil jeg give eder det bedste, der er i Ægypten, og I skal nyde Landets Fedme.
19 And thou art commanded — this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and take up your father, and come.
Byd dem at gøre således: Tag eder Vogne i Ægypten til eders Børn og Kvinder, sæt eders Fader op og kom hid;
20 And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt shall be yours.
bryd eder ikke om eders Ejendele, thi det bedste, der er i hele Ægypten, skal være eders!"
21 And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them waggons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Det gjorde Israels Sønner så. Og efter Faraos Bud gav Josef dem Vogne og Rejsekost med;
22 To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver and five changes of clothing.
hver især gav han dem et Sæt Festklæder, men Benjamin gav han 300 Sekel Sølv og fem Sæt Festklæder;
23 And to his father he sent this: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread, and food for his father by the way.
og sin Fader sendte han ti Æsler med det bedste, der var i Ægypten og ti Aseninder med Korn, Brød og Rejsetæring til Faderen.
24 And he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said to them, Do not quarrel on the way.
Så tog han Afsked med sine Brødre, og da de drog bort, sagde han til dem: "Kives ikke på Vejen!"
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
Således drog de hjem fra Ægypten og kom til deres Fader Jakob i Kana'ans Land;
26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
og de fortalte ham det og sagde: "Josef lever endnu, og han er Hersker over hele Ægypten." Men hans Hjerte blev koldt, thi han troede dem ikke.
27 And they spoke to him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken to them. And he saw the waggons that Joseph had sent to carry him. And the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Så fortalte de ham alt, hvad Josef havde sagt til dem; og da han så Vognene, som Josef havde sendt for at hente ham, oplivedes deres Fader Jakobs Ånd atter;
28 And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.
og Israel sagde: "Det er stort, min Søn Josef lever endnu; jeg vil drage hen og se ham, inden jeg dør!"
