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.
Тада Јосиф не могући се уздржати пред осталима који стајаху око њега, повика: Изађите сви напоље. Тако не оста нико код њега кад се Јосиф показа браћи својој.
2 But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
Па бризну плакати тако да чуше Мисирци, чу и дом Фараонов.
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.
И рече Јосиф браћи својој: Ја сам Јосиф; је ли ми отац још у животу? Али му браћа не могаху одговорити, јер се препадоше од њега.
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.
А Јосиф рече браћи својој: Приступите ближе к мени. И приступише; а он рече ја сам Јосиф брат ваш, ког продадосте у Мисир.
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.
А сада немојте жалити нити се кајати што ме продадосте овамо, јер Бог мене посла пред вама ради живота вашег.
6 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
Јер је већ две године дана глад у земљи, а биће још пет година, где неће бити ни орања ни жетве.
7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
А Бог ме посла пред вама, да вас сачува на земљи и да вам избави живот избављењем превеликим.
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.
И тако нисте ме ви оправили овамо него сам Бог, који ме постави оцем Фараону и господарем од свега дома његовог и старешином над свом земљом мисирском.
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.
Вратите се брже к оцу мом и кажите му: Овако вели син твој Јосиф: Бог ме је поставио господарем свему Мисиру, ходи к мени, немој оклевати.
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.
Седећеш у земљи гесемској и бићеш близу мене, ти и синови твоји и синови синова твојих, и овце твоје и говеда твоја и шта је год твоје.
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.’”
И ја ћу те хранити онде, јер ће још пет година бити глад, да не погинеш од глади ти и дом твој и шта је год твоје.
12 Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
А ето видите очима својим, и брат мој Венијамин својим очима, да вам ја из уста говорим.
13 Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
Кажите оцу мом сву славу моју у Мисиру и шта сте год видели; похитајте и доведите овамо оца мог.
14 He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
Тада паде око врата Венијамину брату свом и плака. И Венијамин плака о врату његовом.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
И изљуби сву браћу своју и исплака се над њима. Потом се браћа његова разговараху с њим.
16 Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
И чу се глас у кући Фараоновој, и рекоше: Дођоше браћа Јосифу. И мило би Фараону и слугама његовим;
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.
И рече Фараон Јосифу: Кажи браћи својој: Овако учините: натоварите магарце своје, па идите и вратите се у земљу хананску,
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.’
Па узмите оца свог и чељад своју, и дођите к мени, и даћу вам најбоље што има у земљи мисирској, и јешћете најбоље обиље ове земље.
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.
А ти им заповеди: Овако учините: узмите са собом из земље мисирске кола за децу своју и за жене своје, и поведите оца свог и дођите овамо;
20 Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
А на покућство своје не гледајте, јер шта има најбоље у свој земљи мисирској ваше је.
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.
И синови Израиљеви учинише тако; и Јосиф им даде кола по заповести Фараоновој; даде им и брашњенице на пут.
22 He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
И свакоме даде по две хаљине, а Венијамину даде триста сребрника и петоре хаљине.
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.
А оцу свом посла још десет магараца натоварених најлепших ствари што има у Мисиру, и десет магарица натоварених жита и хлеба и јестива оцу на пут.
24 Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
Тако оправи браћу своју, и пођоше; и рече им: Немојте се корити путем.
25 So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
Тако се вратише из Мисира, и дођоше у земљу хананску к Јакову оцу свом.
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!
И јавише му и рекоше: Још је жив Јосиф, и заповеда над свом земљом мисирском. А у њему срце пренеможе, јер им не вероваше.
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.
Али кад му казаше све речи Јосифове, које им је Јосиф рекао, и виде кола, која посла Јосиф по оца, тада оживе дух Јакова оца њиховог;
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.”
И рече Израиљ: Доста ми је кад је још жив син мој Јосиф; идем да га видим докле нисам умро.
