Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood before him, so he cried out, "Send everyone away from me." So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Potem se Jožef ni mogel več zadržati pred vsemi tistimi, ki so stali z njim in zaklical je: »Naredite, da vsakdo gre izpred mene.« Noben človek ni stal z njim, medtem ko se je Jožef dal spoznati svojim bratom.
2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
Na glas je zajokal in Egipčani in faraonova hiša so slišali.
3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?" But his brothers couldn't answer him, for they were terrified at his presence.
Jožef je svojim bratom rekel: »Jaz sem Jožef. Ali moj oče še živi?« Bratje pa mu niso mogli odgovoriti, kajti ob njegovi prisotnosti so bili zbegani.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." So they moved closer. And he said, "I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Jožef je svojim bratom rekel: »Približajte se mi, prosim vas.« Prišli so bliže. Rekel je: »Jaz sem vaš brat Jožef, ki ste ga ste prodali v Egipt.
5 Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Zdaj torej ne bodite užaloščeni niti jezni nase, da ste me prodali sèm, kajti Bog me je poslal pred vami, da ohrani življenje.
6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
Kajti ti dve leti je bila lakota v deželi in še pet let je, v katerih ne bo niti setve niti žetve.
7 God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Bog pa me je poslal pred vami, da vam na zemlji ohrani potomstvo in da vaša življenja reši z veliko osvoboditvijo.
8 So now, it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Tako sedaj niste bili vi, ki ste me poslali sèm, temveč Bog. Naredil me je očeta faraonu in gospodarja vsej njegovi hiši in vladarja po vsej egiptovski deželi.
9 Now hurry and go up to my father and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Do not delay.
Pohitite in pojdite gor po mojega očeta in mu recite: ›Tako govori tvoj sin Jožef: ›Bog me je naredil gospodarja vsemu Egiptu. Pridi dol k meni, ne mudi se.
10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and everything that you have.
Prebival boš v gošenski deželi in boš blizu mene, ti in tvoji otroci, tvojih otrok otroci in tvoji tropi, tvoje črede in vse, kar imaš
11 There I will provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, otherwise you and your household and all that you have would become destitute.
in tam te bom hranil. Kajti še pet let lakote je, da ne bi ti in tvoja družina in vse, kar imaš, prišlo v revščino.‹
12 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
Glejte, vaše oči vidijo in oči mojega brata Benjamina, da so to moja usta, ki vam govorijo.
13 So you must tell my father about all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. But you must hurry and bring my father down here."
Vi pa boste mojemu očetu povedali o vsej moji slavi v Egiptu in o vsem tem, kar ste videli in pohiteli boste in mojega očeta privedli sèm dol.«
14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
Planil je na vrat svojega brata Benjamina ter zajokal in Benjamin je jokal na njegovem vratu.
15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
Poleg tega je poljubil vse svoje brate in jokal nad njimi in potem so njegovi bratje govorili z njim.
16 Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
Njegova slava je bila slišana v faraonovi hiši, rekoč: »Prišli so Jožefovi bratje.« In to je dobro ugajalo faraonu in njegovim služabnikom.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
Faraon je rekel Jožefu: »Reci svojim bratom: ›To storite. Natovorite svoje živali in pojdite in pridite v kánaansko deželo.
18 Take your father and your families and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the richness of the land.'
Vzemite svojega očeta in svoje družine in pridite k meni in jaz vam bom dal dobrega iz egiptovske dežele, vi pa boste jedli tolščo dežele.
19 Now you are commanded, 'Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
Sedaj ste zapovedani, storite tole. Vzemite si vozov iz egiptovske dežele za svoje malčke in za svoje žene in pripeljite svojega očeta in pridite.
20 Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
Ne ozirajte se na vaše stvari, kajti dobrine vse egiptovske dežele so vaše.‹«
21 So the sons of Israel did that. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
Izraelovi otroci so tako storili in Jožef jim je dal vozove, glede na faraonovo zapoved in dal jim je popotnico za pot.
22 He gave to all of them, to each one, a change of clothing. But to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
Vsem izmed njih je dal, vsakemu moškemu je dal zamenjavo oblačila. Toda Benjaminu je dal tristo koščkov srebra in pet zamenjav oblačila.
23 To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and food and provision for his father on the journey.
Svojemu očetu je poslal na ta način: deset natovorjenih oslov z dobrimi stvarmi iz Egipta in deset oslic, natovorjenih z žitom, kruhom in hrano za svojega očeta po poti.
24 So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
Tako je svoje brate poslal proč in so odrinili in rekel jim je: »Glejte, da se po poti ne prepirate.«
25 So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
Dvignili so se iz Egipta in prišli v kánaansko deželo k svojemu očetu Jakobu
26 And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was unmoved, because he did not believe them.
in mu povedali, rekoč: »Jožef je še živ in je guverner nad vso egiptovsko deželo.« Jakobovo srce pa je slabelo, kajti ni jim verjel.
27 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
Povedali so mu vse Jožefove besede, ki jim jih je rekel. In ko je videl vozove, ki jih je poslal Jožef, da ga odpeljejo, je oživel duh njihovega očeta Jakoba.
28 Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
Izrael je rekel: » To je dovolj, moj sin Jožef je še živ. Šel bom in ga pogledal, preden umrem.«
