1 Mosebog 45
1 Og Josef kunde ikke holde sig for alle dem, som stode hos ham, og han raabte: Lader hver Mand gaa ud fra mig; og ikke een Mand stod hos ham, der Josef lod sig kende for sine Brødre.
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.
2 Og han opløftede sin Røst med Graad, og Ægypterne hørte det, og Faraos Hus hørte det.
And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
3 Og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: Jeg er Josef; lever min Fader endnu? og hans Brødre kunde ikke svare ham; thi de forfærdedes for hans Ansigt.
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.
4 Da sagde Josef til sine Brødre: Kommer dog hid til mig; og de gik frem; og han sagde: Jeg er Josef, eders Broder, som I solgte til Ægypten.
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.
5 Men værer nu ikke bekymrede, og lader det ikke være mishageligt for eders Øjne, at I solgte mig hid; thi for at I skulde blive holdte ved Live, har Gud sendt mig hid foran eder.
Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Thi nu har der været to Aar Hunger i Landet, og endnu er der fem Aar, i hvilke der ikke skal være Pløjning eller Høst.
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.
7 Men Gud har sendt mig foran eder, at lade eder blive tilovers i Landet og at lade eder leve, til en stor Befrielse.
God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 Og nu, ikke I have sendt mig hid, men Gud; og han har sat mig til en Fader for Farao og til en Herre over alt hans Hus og til en Hersker i alt Ægyptens Land.
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.
9 Skynder eder og drager op til min Fader, og I skulle sige til ham: Saa siger din Søn Josef: Gud har sat mig til en Herre over al Ægypten; kom ned til mig, tøv ikke!
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.
10 Og du skal bo i Gosen Land og være nær hos mig, du og dine Børn og dine Børnebørn og dit Kvæg og dine Øksen og alt det, du har.
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.
11 Og jeg vil opholde dig der; thi endnu er der fem Aar Hunger; paa det du ikke skal forarmes, du og dit Hus og alt det, som tilhører dig.
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.
12 Og se, eders Øjne og min Broder Benjamins Øjne se, at jeg taler mundtligen til eder.
Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
13 Og I skulle forkynde min Fader al min Herlighed i Ægypten, og alt det, som I have set; og skynder eder og lader min Fader komme hid ned.
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."
14 Saa faldt han om Benjamins, sin Broders, Hals og græd, og Benjamin græd om hans Hals.
Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
15 Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd over dem, og derefter talede hans Brødre med ham.
And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
16 Og det rygtedes i Faraos Hus, og der sagdes: Josefs Brødre ere komne; det var godt baade i Faraos Øjne og i hans Tjeneres Øjne.
Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 Og Farao sagde til Josef: Sig til dine Brødre: gører dette, belæsser eders Dyr og gaar, at I maa komme til Kanaans Land.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
18 Og tager eders Fader og eders Husfolk og kommer til mig, og jeg vil give eder det bedste i Ægyptens Land, at I skulle æde af Landets Fedme.
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.'
19 Og det er dig befalet: gører dette; tager eder Vogne af Ægyptens Land til eders Børn og til eders Hustruer, og fører eders Fader der paa og kommer.
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.
20 Og lader eders Øjne ikke se hen til eders Boskab; thi det bedste, som er i alt Ægyptens Land, er eders.
Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
21 Og Israels Sønner gjorde saa, og Josef gav dem Vogne efter Faraos Ord og gav dem Tæring paa Vejen.
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.
22 Han gav alle, hver især, Klædninger til at skifte med; men Benjamin gav han tre Hundrede Sekel Sølv og fem Klædninger til at skifte med.
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.
23 Og han sendte sin Fader ligervis ti Asener, som bare af Ægyptens bedste Gods, og ti Aseninder, som bare Korn og Brød og Føde, til hans Fader paa Vejen.
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.
24 Og han lod sine Brødre fare, og de gik; og han sagde til dem: Kives ikke paa Vejen!
So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
25 Saa droge de op af Ægypten, og de kom til det Land Kanaan, til Jakob, deres Fader.
So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
26 Og de forkyndte ham, sigende: Josef lever endnu, og han er en Hersker over alt Ægyptens Land; men hans Hjerte blev koldt, thi han troede dem ikke.
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.
27 Da sagde de ham alle Josefs Ord, som han havde sagt til dem, og han saa Vognene, som Josef havde sendt til at føre ham paa; og Jakobs, deres Faders, Aand blev levende.
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.
28 Og Israel sagde: Det er meget, Josef min Søn lever endnu; jeg vil fare hen og se ham, før jeg dør.
Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
