Génesis 45
1 Entonces José no pudo controlarse ante todos los que estaban frente a él, y gritó: “¡Que todos salgan de mí!”. Nadie más estaba con él, mientras José se daba a conocer a sus hermanos.
Then Joseph, unable to keep back his feelings before those who were with him, gave orders for everyone to be sent away, and no one was present when he made clear to his brothers who he was.
2 Lloró en voz alta. Los egipcios lo oyeron, y la casa del faraón también.
And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.
3 José dijo a sus hermanos: “¡Yo soy José! ¿Vive aún mi padre?” Sus hermanos no pudieron responderle, pues estaban aterrados ante su presencia.
And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph: is my father still living? But his brothers were not able to give him an answer for they were troubled before him.
4 José dijo a sus hermanos: “Acérquense a mí, por favor”. Se acercaron. Él les dijo: “Yo soy José, vuestro hermano, a quien vendisteis a Egipto.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.
5 No os entristezcáis ni os enfadéis por haberme vendido aquí, pues Dios me ha enviado delante de vosotros para preservar la vida.
Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.
6 Durante estos dos años el hambre ha estado en la tierra, y aún quedan cinco años, en los que no habrá arado ni cosecha.
For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.
7 Dios me envió delante de vosotros para preservar para vosotros un remanente en la tierra, y para salvarte con vida mediante una gran liberación.
God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.
8 Así que ahora no fuisteis vosotros quien me envió aquí, sino Dios, y él me ha hecho padre del Faraón, señor de toda su casa y gobernante de toda la tierra de Egipto.
So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 Date prisa, sube a ver a mi padre y dile: “Esto es lo que dice tu hijo José: “Dios me ha hecho señor de todo Egipto. Baja a verme. No esperes.
Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:
10 Habitarás en la tierra de Gosén, y estarás cerca de mí, tú, tus hijos, los hijos de tus hijos, tus rebaños, tus manadas y todo lo que tengas.
The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:
11 Allí te proveeré, porque todavía hay cinco años de hambre; para que no llegues a la pobreza, tú y tu familia, y todo lo que tienes”’.
And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.
12 He aquí que vuestros ojos ven, y los ojos de mi hermano Benjamín, que es mi boca la que te habla.
Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.
13 Contarás a mi padre toda mi gloria en Egipto y todo lo que has visto. Te apresurarás a traer a mi padre aquí”.
Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.
14 Se echó al cuello de su hermano Benjamín y lloró, y Benjamín lloró sobre su cuello.
Then, weeping, he took Benjamin in his arms, and Benjamin himself was weeping on Joseph's neck.
15 Besó a todos sus hermanos y lloró sobre ellos. Después sus hermanos hablaron con él.
Then he gave a kiss to all his brothers, weeping over them; and after that his brothers had no fear of talking to him.
16 La noticia se oyó en la casa del faraón, diciendo: “Han venido los hermanos de José”. Esto agradó al Faraón y a sus siervos.
And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.
17 El faraón le dijo a José: “Dile a tus hermanos que hagan esto: Carguen sus animales y vayan, viajen a la tierra de Canaán.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Put your goods on your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;
18 Tomad a vuestro padre y a vuestras familias, y venid a mí, y os daré el bien de la tierra de Egipto, y comeréis la grasa de la tierra.’
And get your father and your families and come back to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, and the fat of the land will be your food.
19 Ahora se os ordena hacer esto: Tomad carros de la tierra de Egipto para vuestros pequeños y para vuestras mujeres, y traed a vuestro padre, y venid.
And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.
20 Además, no os preocupéis por vuestras pertenencias, porque el bien de toda la tierra de Egipto es vuestro.”
And take no thought for your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 Así lo hicieron los hijos de Israel. José les dio carros, según el mandato del faraón, y les dio provisiones para el camino.
And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.
22 A cada uno de ellos le dio mudas de ropa, pero a Benjamín le dio trescientas piezas de plata y cinco mudas de ropa.
To every one of them he gave three changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred bits of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 Envió a su padre lo siguiente: diez burros cargados con los bienes de Egipto, y diez burras cargadas de grano y pan y provisiones para su padre en el camino.
And to his father he sent ten asses with good things from Egypt on their backs, and ten she-asses with grain and bread and food for his father on the journey.
24 Entonces despidió a sus hermanos y se fueron. Les dijo: “Mirad que no os peleéis por el camino”.
And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.
25 Subieron de Egipto y llegaron a la tierra de Canaán, donde su padre Jacob.
So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 Le contaron, diciendo: “José aún vive, y es soberano de toda la tierra de Egipto”. Su corazón se desmayó, pues no les creyó.
And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.
27 Le contaron todas las palabras de José que él les había dicho. Cuando vio los carros que José había enviado para llevarlo, el espíritu de Jacob, su padre, revivió.
And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:
28 Israel dijo: “Es suficiente. José, mi hijo, sigue vivo. Iré a verlo antes de morir”.
And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.
