Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all the servants who stood by him. He said loudly, “Everyone must leave me.” So no servant stood by him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
non se poterat ultra cohibere Ioseph multis coram adstantibus unde praecepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuae
2 He wept loudly, the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard of it.
elevavitque vocem cum fletu quam audierunt Aegyptii omnisque domus Pharaonis
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers could not answer him, for they were shocked in his presence.
et dixit fratribus suis ego sum Ioseph adhuc pater meus vivit nec poterant respondere fratres nimio timore perterriti
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
ad quos ille clementer accedite inquit ad me et cum accessissent prope ego sum ait Ioseph frater vester quem vendidistis in Aegypto
5 Do not be grieved or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.
nolite pavere nec vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in Aegyptum
6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
biennium est quod fames esse coepit in terra et adhuc quinque anni restant quibus nec arari poterit nec meti
7 God sent me ahead of you to preserve you as a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.
praemisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram et escas ad vivendum habere possitis
8 So now it was not you who sent me here but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, master of all his house, and ruler of all the land of Egypt.
non vestro consilio sed Dei huc voluntate missus sum qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis et dominum universae domus eius ac principem in omni terra Aegypti
9 Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me master of all Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay.
festinate et ascendite ad patrem meum et dicetis ei haec mandat filius tuus Ioseph Deus me fecit dominum universae terrae Aegypti descende ad me ne moreris
10 You will live in the land of Goshen, and you will be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.
et habita in terra Gessen erisque iuxta me tu et filii tui et filii filiorum tuorum oves tuae et armenta tua et universa quae possides
11 I will provide for you there, for there are still five years of famine, so that you do not come to poverty, you, your household, and all that you have.”'
ibique te pascam adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis ne et tu pereas et domus tua et omnia quae possides
12 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
en oculi vestri et oculi fratris mei Beniamin vident quod os meum loquatur ad vos
13 You will tell my father about all my honor in Egypt and of all that you have seen. You will hurry and bring my father down here.”
nuntiate patri meo universam gloriam meam et cuncta quae vidistis in Aegypto festinate et adducite eum ad me
14 He hugged his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Beniamin fratris sui flevit illo quoque flente similiter super collum eius
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them. After that his brothers talked with him.
osculatusque est Ioseph omnes fratres suos et ploravit super singulos post quae ausi sunt loqui ad eum
16 The news of the matter was told in Pharaoh's house: “Joseph's brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh and his servants very much.
auditumque est et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis venerunt fratres Ioseph et gavisus est Pharao atque omnis familia eius
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan.
dixitque ad Ioseph ut imperaret fratribus suis dicens onerantes iumenta ite in terram Chanaan
18 Get your father and your households and come to me. I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'
et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem et venite ad me et ego dabo vobis omnia bona Aegypti ut comedatis medullam terrae
19 Now you are commanded, 'Do this, take carts out of the land of Egypt for your children and for your wives. Get your father and come.
praecipe etiam ut tollant plaustra de terra Aegypti ad subvectionem parvulorum suorum et coniugum ac dicito tollite patrem vestrum et properate quantocius venientes
20 Do not be concerned about your possessions, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.'”
ne dimittatis quicquam de supellectili vestra quia omnes opes Aegypti vestrae erunt
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
fecerunt filii Israhel ut eis mandatum fuerat quibus dedit Ioseph plaustra secundum Pharaonis imperium et cibaria in itinere
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
singulisque proferri iussit binas stolas Beniamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque stolis optimis
23 For his father he sent this: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt; and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and other supplies for his father for the journey.
tantundem pecuniae et vestium mittens patri suo addens eis asinos decem qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis Aegypti et totidem asinas triticum in itinere panesque portantes
24 So he sent his brothers away and they left. He said to them, “See that you do not quarrel on the journey.”
dimisit ergo fratres suos et proficiscentibus ait ne irascamini in via
25 They went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
qui ascendentes ex Aegypto venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Iacob
26 They told him saying “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart was astonished, for he could not believe what they told him.
et nuntiaverunt ei dicentes Ioseph vivit et ipse dominatur in omni terra Aegypti quo audito quasi de gravi somno evigilans tamen non credebat eis
27 They told him all the words of Joseph that he had said to them. When Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
illi contra referebant omnem ordinem rei cumque vidisset plaustra et universa quae miserat revixit spiritus eius
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
et ait sufficit mihi si adhuc Ioseph filius meus vivit vadam et videbo illum antequam moriar
