Genesis 45
1 And Joseph has not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calls, “Put out every man from me”; and no man has stood with him when Joseph makes himself known to his brothers,
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 gives forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh hears.
Så brast han i lydelig Gråd, så Ægypterne hørte det, og det spurgtes i Faraos Hus;
3 And Joseph says to his brothers, “I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?” And his brothers have not been able to answer him, for they have been 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 says to his brothers, “Please come near to me,” and they come near; and he says, “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 and now, do not be grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that you sold me here, for God has 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 Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet five years [remain in] which there is neither plowing nor harvest;
i to År har der nu været Hungersnød i Landet, og fem År endnu skal der hverken pløjes eller høstes;
7 and God sends me before you, to place a remnant of you in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
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, you have not sent me here, but God, and He sets me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler 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 Hurry, and go up to my father, then you have said to him, Thus said your son Joseph: God has set me for lord to all Egypt; come down to me, do not stay,
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 have dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near to me, you and your sons, and your son’s sons, and your flock, and your herd, and all that you have,
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 have nourished you there—for yet [are] five years of famine—lest you become poor, you and your household, and all that you have.
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 are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking to you;
Nu ser I, også min Broder Benjamin, med egne Øjne, at det er mig, der taler til eder;
13 and you have declared to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all that you have seen, and you have hurried, and have brought down my father here.”
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 falls on the neck of his brother Benjamin, and weeps, and Benjamin has wept on his neck;
Så faldt han grædende sin Broder Benjamin om Halsen, og Benjamin græd i hans Arme.
15 and he kisses all his brothers, and weeps over them; and afterward his brothers have spoken with him.
Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd ved deres Bryst; og nu kunde hans Brødre tale med ham.
16 And the sound has been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Joseph have come”; and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,
Men det spurgtes i Faraos Hus, at Josefs Brødre var kommet, og Farao og hans Tjenere glædede sig derover:
17 and Pharaoh says to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, This you do: load your beasts, and go, enter 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 give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and you 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 Indeed, you have been commanded: this you do, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, wagons for your infants, and for your wives, and you have brought 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 your eye has no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.”
bryd eder ikke om eders Ejendele, thi det bedste, der er i hele Ægypten, skal være eders!"
21 And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph gives wagons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he gives to them provision for the way;
Det gjorde Israels Sønner så. Og efter Faraos Bud gav Josef dem Vogne og Rejsekost med;
22 to all of them has he given—to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he has given three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of garments;
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 has sent thus: ten donkeys carrying of the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread, even food for his father for 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 sends his brothers away, and they go; and he says to them, “Do not be angry in 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 go up out of Egypt, and come to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob,
Således drog de hjem fra Ægypten og kom til deres Fader Jakob i Kana'ans Land;
26 and they declare to him, saying, “Joseph [is] yet alive,” and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceases, for he has not given credence to 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 speak to him all the words of Joseph, which he has spoken to them, and he sees the wagons which Joseph has sent to carry him away, and the spirit of their father Jacob lives;
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 says, “Enough! My son Joseph [is] yet alive; I 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!"
