Genesis 45
1 Joseph couldn't control his emotions any longer while all his attendants were there, so he shouted out, “Everybody leave me!” So there was nobody else there when Joseph revealed who he was to his brothers.
Yusuf tidak sanggup lagi menahan perasaannya di hadapan pegawai-pegawainya Karena itu disuruhnya mereka meninggalkan ruangan itu supaya ia dapat menyatakan kepada saudara-saudaranya siapa dia sebenarnya.
2 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
Setelah semua pegawainya meninggalkan ruangan, menangislah Yusuf keras-keras, sehingga orang-orang Mesir di luar ruangan mendengarnya, dan sampailah kabar itu ke istana raja.
3 “I'm Joseph!” he announced to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” They couldn't answer him as they were so surprised to see him face to face.
Yusuf berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Saya ini Yusuf. Masih hidupkah ayah?" Melihat itu saudara-saudaranya takut sekali sehingga tidak dapat menjawab.
4 “Please come closer to me,” he told his brothers. They came over to him. “I'm your brother Joseph who you sold into slavery in Egypt.
Lalu kata Yusuf kepada mereka, "Marilah ke sini." Mereka mendekat, dan dia berkata lagi, "Saya Yusuf, yang telah kalian jual ke Mesir.
5 But don't be worried or get angry with yourselves that you sold me to be a slave here, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to save lives.
Jangan takut atau menyesali dirimu karena kalian telah menjual saya. Sebenarnya Allah sendiri yang membawa saya ke sini mendahului kalian untuk menyelamatkan banyak orang.
6 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
Sekarang baru tahun kedua dari masa kelaparan, dan selama lima tahun lagi orang tidak akan membajak atau panen.
7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
Allah telah membawa saya mendahului kalian untuk menyelamatkan kalian dengan cara yang mengherankan ini, dan untuk menjamin keselamatanmu dan kelanjutan keturunanmu.
8 So it wasn't you who sent me here, but God. He was the one who made me Pharaoh's chief advisor in charge of all his affairs, and ruler of the whole country of Egypt.
Jadi, sebetulnya bukan kalian yang menyebabkan saya ada di sini, melainkan Allah. Dia telah menjadikan saya pegawai tertinggi raja Mesir. Saya diserahi kuasa atas seluruh rumah tangganya dan seluruh Mesir.
9 Now hurry! Go back to my father and tell him, ‘This message comes from your son Joseph: God has made me the ruler of the whole of Egypt. Come to me now; don't wait.
Sekarang, cepatlah kalian kembali kepada ayah dan katakanlah kepadanya bahwa Yusuf, anaknya, berkata begini, 'Allah telah menjadikan saya penguasa atas seluruh Mesir; datanglah selekas mungkin.
10 You'll live in the land of Goshen so you can be close to me with your children and grandchildren, and with your flocks and herds and everything that belongs to you.
Ayah dapat tinggal di daerah Gosyen, dekat dengan saya--ayah, dengan anak cucu, domba, kambing, sapi dan segala milik ayah.
11 I'll make sure you have food, because there are still five more years of famine to come. Otherwise you and your family and your animals are going to starve.’”
Jika ayah ada di Gosyen, saya dapat memelihara ayah. Masa kelaparan masih berlangsung lima tahun lagi dan akan saya usahakan supaya ayah, keluarga dan ternak ayah jangan kekurangan apa-apa.'"
12 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
Kata Yusuf lagi, "Sekarang kalian lihat sendiri, juga engkau Benyamin, bahwa saya benar-benar Yusuf.
13 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
Katakanlah kepada ayah kita betapa besar kuasa saya di sini, di Mesir, dan ceritakanlah kepadanya segala yang sudah kalian lihat. Lalu cepat-cepatlah bawa dia kemari."
14 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Sesudah itu ia memeluk Benyamin, adiknya itu, lalu menangis; Benyamin juga menangis sambil memeluk Yusuf pula.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
Kemudian, dengan masih menangis, Yusuf memeluk semua saudaranya dan mencium mereka. Setelah itu mereka mulai bercakap-cakap dengan dia.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
Ketika di istana raja terdengar kabar bahwa saudara-saudara Yusuf datang, raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut senang.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you are to do: Load your donkeys with grain and go back to the country of Canaan.
Lalu berkatalah raja kepada Yusuf, "Suruhlah saudara-saudaramu itu membebani keledai mereka dengan gandum dan pulang ke Kanaan
18 Then bring your father and your families and return here to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you shall eat the best food the country has to offer.’
untuk menjemput ayah dan keluarga mereka lalu pindah ke mari. Aku akan memberikan kepada mereka tanah yang paling baik di Mesir, dan mereka akan dapat hidup dengan berkecukupan dari hasil tanah itu.
19 Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
Suruhlah mereka juga membawa dari sini beberapa kereta untuk istri dan anak-anak mereka yang masih kecil, dan untuk menjemput ayah mereka.
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
Mereka tak perlu memikirkan barang-barang yang terpaksa mereka tinggalkan, karena yang paling baik di seluruh Mesir akan menjadi milik mereka."
21 So that's what the sons of Israel did. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered. He also gave them supplies for their journey.
Anak-anak Yakub melakukan perintah raja itu. Yusuf memberikan kepada mereka beberapa kereta, sesuai dengan perintah raja, dan juga bekal untuk perjalanan.
22 He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
Diberikannya juga kepada mereka masing-masing satu setel pakaian baru, tetapi kepada Benyamin diberinya tiga ratus uang perak dan lima setel pakaian baru.
23 Joseph also sent to his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best things from Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and supplies needed for his father's journey.
Ia mengirimkan kepada ayahnya sepuluh ekor keledai yang dibebani dengan barang-barang yang terbaik dari Mesir, dan sepuluh keledai lagi yang dibebani dengan gandum, roti dan makanan lain untuk dimakan dalam perjalanannya ke Mesir.
24 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
Kemudian ia memberangkatkan saudara-saudaranya, sambil berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan bertengkar di jalan."
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Mereka meninggalkan Mesir dan pulang ke Kanaan kepada Yakub, ayah mereka.
26 “Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it!
"Yusuf masih hidup!" kata mereka kepadanya. "Dia penguasa atas seluruh Mesir!" Mendengar berita itu, Yakub termangu-mangu, dan ia tidak percaya kepada mereka.
27 But when they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to take him to Egypt, Jacob came back to his senses.
Tetapi setelah mereka menceritakan semua yang dikatakan Yusuf kepada mereka, dan ketika ia melihat kereta yang dikirim Yusuf untuk menjemputnya dan membawanya ke Mesir, sadarlah ia dari lamunannya.
28 Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.”
"Anakku Yusuf masih hidup!" katanya. "Hanya itulah yang kuinginkan! Aku harus pergi dan melihatnya sebelum aku mati."
