پیدایش 45
| یوسف دیگر نتوانست نزد کسانی که در حضورش بودند، خودداری کند، پس فریاد زد: «همه از اینجا خارج شوید!» وقتی همه رفتند و او را با برادرانش تنها گذاشتند او خود را به ایشان شناساند. | 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.
| سپس با صدای بلند گریست، به طوری که مصری‌ها شنیدند و این خبر به دربار فرعون رسید. | 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.
| او به برادرانش گفت: «من یوسف هستم. آیا پدرم هنوز زنده است؟» اما برادرانش که از ترس، زبانشان بند آمده بود، نتوانستند جواب بدهند. | 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.
| یوسف گفت: «جلو بیایید!» پس به او نزدیک شدند و او دوباره گفت: «منم، یوسف، برادر شما که او را به مصر فروختید. | 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!
| حال از این کار خود ناراحت نشوید و خود را سرزنش نکنید، چون این خواست خدا بود. او مرا پیش از شما به مصر فرستاد تا جان مردم را در این زمان قحطی حفظ کند. | 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.
| از هفت سال قحطی، دو سال گذشته است. طی پنج سال آینده کشت و زرعی نخواهد شد. | 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.
| اما خدا مرا پیش از شما به اینجا فرستاد تا برای شما بر روی زمین نسلی باقی بگذارد و جانهای شما را به طرز شگفت‌انگیزی رهایی بخشد. | 7 |
But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
| آری، خدا بود که مرا به مصر فرستاد، نه شما. در اینجا هم خدا مرا مشاور فرعون و سرپرست خانه او و حاکم بر تمامی سرزمین مصر گردانیده است. | 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!
| «حال، نزد پدرم بشتابید و به او بگویید که پسر تو، یوسف عرض می‌کند:”خدا مرا حاکم سراسر مصر گردانیده است. بی‌درنگ نزد من بیا | 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!
| و در زمین جوشن ساکن شو تا تو با همهٔ فرزندان و نوه‌هایت و تمامی گله و رمه و اموالت نزدیک من باشی. | 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.
| من در آنجا از تو نگهداری خواهم کرد، زیرا هنوز پنج سالِ دیگر از این قحطی باقیست. اگر نزد من نیایی تو و همۀ فرزندان و بستگانت از گرسنگی خواهید مُرد.“ | 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]”’
| «همهٔ شما و برادرم بنیامین شاهد هستید که این من هستم که با شما صحبت می‌کنم. | 12 |
“Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
| پدرم را از قدرتی که در مصر دارم و از آنچه دیده‌اید آگاه سازید و او را هر چه زودتر نزد من بیاورید.» | 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!”
| آنگاه یوسف، بنیامین را در آغوش گرفته و با هم گریستند. | 14 |
Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
| بعد سایر برادرانش را بوسید و گریست. آنگاه جرأت یافتند با او صحبت کنند. | 15 |
And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
| طولی نکشید که خبر آمدن برادران یوسف به گوش فرعون رسید. فرعون و تمامی درباریانش از شنیدن این خبر خوشحال شدند. | 16 |
Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
| پس فرعون به یوسف گفت: «به برادران خود بگو که الاغهای خود را بار کنند و به کنعان بروند. | 17 |
The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
| و پدر و همهٔ خانواده‌های خود را برداشته به مصر بیایند. من حاصلخیزترین زمینِ مصر را به ایشان خواهم داد تا از محصولاتِ فراوانِ آن بهره‌مند شوند. | 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.’
| برای آوردن پدرت و زنان و کودکان، چند ارابه به آنها بده که با خود ببرند. | 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.
| به ایشان بگو که دربارهٔ اموال خود نگران نباشند، زیرا حاصلخیزترین زمین مصر به آنها داده خواهد شد.» | 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.’”
| یوسف چنانکه فرعون گفته بود، ارابه‌ها و آذوقه برای سفر به ایشان داد. | 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.
| او همچنین به هر یک از آنها یک دست لباس نو هدیه نمود، اما به بنیامین پنج دست لباس و سیصد مثقال نقره بخشید. | 22 |
To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
| برای پدرش ده بارِ الاغ از بهترین کالاهای مصر و ده بارِ الاغ غله و خوراکی‌های دیگر به جهت سفرش فرستاد. | 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.
| به این طریق برادران خود را مرخص نمود و به ایشان تأکید کرد که در بین راه با هم دعوا نکنند. | 24 |
Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
| آنها مصر را به قصد کنعان ترک گفته، نزد پدر خویش بازگشتند. | 25 |
So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
| آنگاه نزد یعقوب شتافته، به او گفتند: «یوسف زنده است! او حاکم تمام سرزمین مصر می‌باشد.» اما یعقوب چنان حیرت‌زده شد که نتوانست سخنان ایشان را قبول کند. | 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.
| ولی وقتی چشمانش به ارابه‌ها افتاد و پیغام یوسف را به او دادند، روحش تازه شد | 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.
| و گفت: «باور می‌کنم! پسرم یوسف زنده است! می‌روم تا پیش از مردنم او را ببینم.» | 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!”
