Genesis 45
1 Joseph was not able to control his feelings any longer. He did not want to cry in front of his servants, so he said to them loudly, “All of you go outside!” After they went outside, there was no one else there with Joseph when he told his brothers who he was.
Tad Jāzeps nevarēja valdīties priekš visiem, kas pie viņa stāvēja, un sauca: vediet visus no manis ārā; un neviens pie tā nestāvēja, kad Jāzeps devās pazīties saviem brāļiem.
2 He cried so loudly that the people of Egypt who were outside heard it, and even the people in the king’s palace heard it.
Un viņš pacēla savu balsi raudādams, tā ka tie ēģiptieši to dzirdēja, un Faraona saime to dzirdēja.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said.
Un Jāzeps sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: es esmu Jāzeps, vai mans tēvs vēl dzīvs? Un viņa brāļi tam nevarēja atbildēt, jo tie priekš viņa vaiga pārbijās.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt!
Un Jāzeps sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: nāciet jel klāt pie manis. Un tie piegāja; tad viņš sacīja: es esmu Jāzeps, jūsu brālis, ko jūs esat pārdevuši uz Ēģiptes zemi.
5 But now, do not be distressed, and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me to people who brought me here, because it was to save you from dying [because of the famine] that God sent me here ahead of you.
Un nu, nebēdājaties un neiztrūcinājāties, ka jūs mani šurp esat pārdevuši, jo Dievs mani šurp ir sūtījis jūsu priekšā jūsu dzīvības uzturēšanas pēc.
6 There has been a famine in this country for two years, and it will continue for five more years, so that no one will plow ground, and there will be no crops to harvest.
Jo šis ir tas otrais bada gads pār visu zemi, un vēl būs pieci gadi, kur nebūs nedz aršanas, nedz pļaušanas.
7 But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
Un Dievs mani sūtījis jūsu priekšā, lai viņš jūs liktu par atlikumu virs zemes, un jūs uzturētu dzīvus par lielu pulku, kas izglābti.
8 Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt!
Un nu, jūs mani neesat šurp sūtījuši, bet Dievs, kas mani licis Faraonam par tēvu un par kungu visā viņa namā un par valdītāju visā Ēģiptes zemē.
9 Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately!
Steidzaties un ejat pie mana tēva un sakāt tam: tā saka tavs dēls Jāzeps: Dievs mani iecēlis par kungu visai Ēģiptes zemei, - nāc šurp pie manis, nekavējies.
10 You can live in the Goshen region. You and your children and your grandchildren, your sheep and goats and cattle, and everything that you own, will be near me.
Tev būs dzīvot Gošenes zemē, un tu būsi tuvu pie manis, tu un tavi dēli un tavu dēlu dēli un tavi sīkie lopi un tavi vērši un viss, kas tev pieder.
11 Since there will be five more years of famine, I will make sure that you have food. If you do not come here, you and your family and all of your servants will starve. [EUP]”’
Un es tevi tur uzturēšu, jo vēl ir pieci bada gadi, - ka tu trūkumā neiznīksti, tu un tavs nams un viss, kas tev pieder.
12 “Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
Un raugi, jūsu acis redz un mana brāļa Benjamina acis, ka mana mute uz jums runā.
13 Go and tell my father about how greatly I am honored here in Egypt. And tell him about everything else that you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly!”
Un stāstiet manam tēvam visu manu godību Ēģiptes zemē, un visu, ko jūs redzējuši, un steidzaties un atvediet manu tēvu šurp.
14 Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
Un viņš Benjaminam, savam brālim, apkampās ap kaklu un raudāja, un Benjamins raudāja pie viņa kakla.
15 And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
Un viņš skūpstīja visus savus brāļus un raudāja pār tiem, un pēc viņa brāļi runāja ar viņu.
16 Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
Un tā slava tapa daudzināta Faraona namā: Jāzepa brāļi ir atnākuši. Un tas patika Faraonam un viņa kalpiem.
17 The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
Un Faraons sacīja uz Jāzepu: saki saviem brāļiem: dariet tā: apkraujiet savus lopus un ietin noejat uz Kanaāna zemi,
18 Then bring your father and your families back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
Un ņemiet savu tēvu un savu saimi, un nāciet pie manis, tad es jums došu Ēģiptes zemes labumu, un jūs ēdīsiet tās zemes treknumu.
19 “Also tell this to your brothers: ‘Take some carts from Egypt to carry your children and your wives, and get them and your father and come back here quickly.
Un tev ir pavēlēts: dariet tā: ņemiet no Ēģiptes zemes ratus priekš saviem bērniņiem un priekš savām sievām, un atvediet savu tēvu un nāciet.
20 Do not worry about bringing your possessions, because the best things in Egypt will be yours. Because of that, you will not need to bring any of your things from Canaan.’”
Un lai jūsu acīm nav žēl savu namarīku - jo visas Ēģiptes zemes labums jums piederēs.
21 Jacob’s sons did what the king suggested. Joseph gave them carts and food to eat along the way, as the king had ordered.
Un Israēla dēli tā darīja, un Jāzeps tiem deva ratus pēc Faraona vārdiem un tiem deva ceļamaizi uz ceļu.
22 To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
Un visiem viņš deva ikvienam svētku drēbes, bet Benjaminam viņš deva trīssimt sudraba gabalus un piecas svētku drēbes.
23 And this is what he sent to his father: Ten male donkeys, loaded with some of the best goods that come from Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other food for his father’s trip to Egypt.
Un savam tēvam viņš sūtīja tāpat desmit ēzeļus, kas no Ēģiptes labumu nesa, un desmit ēzeļu mātes, kas nesa labību un maizi un barību priekš tēva uz ceļu.
24 Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
Un viņš savus brāļus nosūtīja, un tie aizgāja, un viņš sacīja: nebaraties pa ceļu.
25 So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
Un tie aizgāja no Ēģiptes un nāca Kanaāna zemē pie Jēkaba, sava tēva,
26 One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true.
Un viņam stāstīja sacīdami: Jāzeps vēl dzīvs, un ir valdītājs pār visu Ēģiptes zemi. Bet Jēkaba sirds palika auksta, jo viņš tiem neticēja.
27 But they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him and his family and possessions to Egypt. Then their father Jacob’s shock ended.
Bet kad tie uz viņu runāja visus Jāzepa vārdus, ko tas tiem bija sacījis, un kad viņš ieraudzīja tos ratus, ko Jāzeps bija sūtījis, viņu novest, tad Jēkaba, viņu tēva, gars atdzīvojās.
28 He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!”
Un Israēls sacīja: diezgan! Mans dēls Jāzeps vēl dzīvs! Es gribu iet un viņu redzēt, pirms nekā mirstu.
