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.
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 uttered his voice with weeping; and all the Egyptians heard, and it was reported to the house of Pharao.
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.
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, Draw near to me; and they drew near; and he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom you 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 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.
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 this second year there is famine on the earth, and there are yet five years remaining, in which there is to be neither plowing, nor mowing.
i to År har der nu været Hungersnød i Landet, og fem År endnu skal der hverken pløjes eller høstes;
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 I will nourish you there: for the famine is yet for five years; lest you be consumed, and your sons, and all your possessions.
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 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Nu ser I, også min Broder Benjamin, med egne Øjne, at det er mig, der taler til eder;
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.
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 on him; 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 on them; and after these things his brethren spoke to 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 carried into the house of Pharao, saying, Joseph's brethren are come; and Pharao was glad, and his household.
Men det spurgtes i Faraos Hus, at Josefs Brødre var kommet, og Farao og hans Tjenere glædede sig derover:
17 And Pharao said to Joseph, Say to your brethren, Do this; fill your waggons, and depart into the land of Chanaan.
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 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.
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 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.
Byd dem at gøre således: Tag eder Vogne i Ægypten til eders Børn og Kvinder, sæt eders Fader op og kom hid;
20 And be not sparing in regard to your property, for all the good 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 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.
Det gjorde Israels Sønner så. Og efter Faraos Bud gav Josef dem Vogne og Rejsekost med;
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.
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 [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.
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 away his brethren, and they went; and he said to them, Be not angry by 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 Chanaan, to Jacob their father.
Således drog de hjem fra Ægypten og kom til deres Fader Jakob i Kana'ans Land;
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.
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 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.
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 a great thing for me if 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!"
