Genesis 45
1 Then could Joseph not refrain himself before all those that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there remained no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brothers.
Og Josef kunde ikke holde sig for alle dem, som stode hos ham, og han raabte: Lader hver Mand gaa ud fra mig; og ikke een Mand stod hos ham, der Josef lod sig kende for sine Brødre.
2 And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard it.
Og han opløftede sin Røst med Graad, og Ægypterne hørte det, og Faraos Hus hørte det.
3 And Joseph said unto his brothers, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brothers could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
Og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: Jeg er Josef; lever min Fader endnu? og hans Brødre kunde ikke svare ham; thi de forfærdedes for hans Ansigt.
4 And Joseph said unto his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you; and they came near; and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Da sagde Josef til sine Brødre: Kommer dog hid til mig; og de gik frem; og han sagde: Jeg er Josef, eders Broder, som I solgte til Ægypten.
5 But now be not grieved, nor be angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither; for in order to preserve life did God send me before you.
Men værer nu ikke bekymrede, og lader det ikke være mishageligt for eders Øjne, at I solgte mig hid; thi for at I skulde blive holdte ved Live, har Gud sendt mig hid foran eder.
6 For these two years hath the famine been already in the land; and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvesting.
Thi nu har der været to Aar Hunger i Landet, og endnu er der fem Aar, i hvilke der ikke skal være Pløjning eller Høst.
7 And God hath thus sent me before you to prepare for you a permanence on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Men Gud har sendt mig foran eder, at lade eder blive tilovers i Landet og at lade eder leve, til en stor Befrielse.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God; and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and a lord for all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Og nu, ikke I have sendt mig hid, men Gud; og han har sat mig til en Fader for Farao og til en Herre over alt hans Hus og til en Hersker i alt Ægyptens Land.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus hath said thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not.
Skynder eder og drager op til min Fader, og I skulle sige til ham: Saa siger din Søn Josef: Gud har sat mig til en Herre over al Ægypten; kom ned til mig, tøv ikke!
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that is thine.
Og du skal bo i Gosen Land og være nær hos mig, du og dine Børn og dine Børnebørn og dit Kvæg og dine Øksen og alt det, du har.
11 And I will maintain thee there; for there are yet five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
Og jeg vil opholde dig der; thi endnu er der fem Aar Hunger; paa det du ikke skal forarmes, du og dit Hus og alt det, som tilhører dig.
12 And, behold, your own eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
Og se, eders Øjne og min Broder Benjamins Øjne se, at jeg taler mundtligen til eder.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my honor in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall hasten and bring down my father hither.
Og I skulle forkynde min Fader al min Herlighed i Ægypten, og alt det, som I have set; og skynder eder og lader min Fader komme hid ned.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Saa faldt han om Benjamins, sin Broders, Hals og græd, og Benjamin græd om hans Hals.
15 And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them; and after that his brothers spoke with him.
Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd over dem, og derefter talede hans Brødre med ham.
16 And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers are come; and it was pleasing in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants.
Og det rygtedes i Faraos Hus, og der sagdes: Josefs Brødre ere komne; det var godt baade i Faraos Øjne og i hans Tjeneres Øjne.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brothers, This do ye; load your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Og Farao sagde til Josef: Sig til dine Brødre: gører dette, belæsser eders Dyr og gaar, at I maa komme til Kanaans Land.
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me; and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Og tager eders Fader og eders Husfolk og kommer til mig, og jeg vil give eder det bedste i Ægyptens Land, at I skulle æde af Landets Fedme.
19 And thou art commanded, This do ye, take unto yourselves out of the land of Egypt wagons for your little ones, and for your wives, and take up your father, and come.
Og det er dig befalet: gører dette; tager eder Vogne af Ægyptens Land til eders Børn og til eders Hustruer, og fører eders Fader der paa og kommer.
20 And do ye feel no concern on account of your household goods; for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Og lader eders Øjne ikke se hen til eders Boskab; thi det bedste, som er i alt Ægyptens Land, er eders.
21 And the children of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh; and he gave them provision for the way.
Og Israels Sønner gjorde saa, og Josef gav dem Vogne efter Faraos Ord og gav dem Tæring paa Vejen.
22 To all of them he gave to each changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Han gav alle, hver især, Klædninger til at skifte med; men Benjamin gav han tre Hundrede Sekel Sølv og fem Klædninger til at skifte med.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the best things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and other food for his father, for the journey.
Og han sendte sin Fader ligervis ti Asener, som bare af Ægyptens bedste Gods, og ti Aseninder, som bare Korn og Brød og Føde, til hans Fader paa Vejen.
24 And he accompanied his brothers on the way, and they departed: and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.
Og han lod sine Brødre fare, og de gik; og han sagde til dem: Kives ikke paa Vejen!
25 And they went out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.
Saa droge de op af Ægypten, og de kom til det Land Kanaan, til Jakob, deres Fader.
26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive; and that he is governor over all the land of Egypt. But his heart remained cold, for he believed them not.
Og de forkyndte ham, sigende: Josef lever endnu, og han er en Hersker over alt Ægyptens Land; men hans Hjerte blev koldt, thi han troede dem ikke.
27 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him: the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Da sagde de ham alle Josefs Ord, som han havde sagt til dem, og han saa Vognene, som Josef havde sendt til at føre ham paa; og Jakobs, deres Faders, Aand blev levende.
28 And Israel said, Enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Og Israel sagde: Det er meget, Josef min Søn lever endnu; jeg vil fare hen og se ham, før jeg dør.
