< Genesis 45 >

1 And not he was able Joseph to restrain himself to all those standing with him and he called out send out every man from with me and not he stood anyone with him when made himself known Joseph to brothers his.
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 And he gave voice his in weeping and they heard Egypt and it heard [the] household of Pharaoh.
And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
3 And he said Joseph to brothers his I [am] Joseph ¿ still [is] father my living and not they were able brothers his to answer him for they were terrified of him.
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 And he said Joseph to brothers his draw near please to me and they drew near and he said I [am] Joseph brother your whom you sold me Egypt towards.
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 And now - may not you be grieved and may not it burn in eyes your that you sold me hither for for preservation of life he sent me God before you.
Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 For this two years the famine [has been] in [the] midst of the land and still five years when there not [will be] plowing and harvest.
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 And he sent me God before you to make for you a remnant on the earth and to preserve alive for you a deliverance great.
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 And therefore not you you sent me hither for God and he has appointed me to a father of Pharaoh and to lord of all household his and ruler over all [the] land of Egypt.
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 Hurry and go up to father my and you will say to him thus he says son your Joseph he has appointed me God to lord of all Egypt come down! to me may not you delay.
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 And you will dwell in [the] land of Goshen and you will be near to me you and children your and [the] children of children your and sheep your and cattle your and all that [belongs] to you.
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 And I will provide for you there for still [will be] five years famine lest you should become impoverished you and household your and all that [belongs] to you.
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 And there! eyes your [are] seeing and [the] eyes of brother my Benjamin that mouth my [is] the [one which] speaks to you.
Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
13 And you will tell to father my all honor my in Egypt and all that you saw and you will hurry and you will bring down father my hither.
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 And he fell on [the] neck of Benjamin brother his and he wept and Benjamin he wept on neck his.
Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
15 And he kissed all brothers his and he wept over them and after thus they spoke brothers his with him.
And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
16 And the sound it was heard [the] house of Pharaoh saying they have come [the] brothers of Joseph and it was good in [the] eyes of Pharaoh and in [the] eyes of servants his.
Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 And he said Pharaoh to Joseph say to brothers your this do load animal[s] your and go go [the] land of towards Canaan.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
18 And fetch father your and households your and come to me so let me give to you [the] good thing[s] of [the] land of Egypt and eat [the] fat of the land.
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 And you you are commanded this do take for yourselves from [the] land of Egypt carts for little one[s] your and for wives your and you will carry father your and you will come.
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 And eye your may not it look with regret on things your for [the] good thing[s] of all [the] land of Egypt [will belong] to you it.
Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
21 And they did thus [the] sons of Israel and he gave to them Joseph carts on [the] mouth of Pharaoh and he gave to them provision[s] for the journey.
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 To all of them he gave to each changes of clothes and to Benjamin he gave three of hundred silver and five changes of clothes.
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 And to father his he sent according to this ten donkeys carrying some of [the] good thing[s] of Egypt and ten female donkeys carrying grain and food and food for father his for the journey.
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 And he sent off brothers his and they went and he said to them may not you stir up on the way.
So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
25 And they went up from Egypt and they came [the] land of Canaan to Jacob father their.
So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
26 And they told to him saying still Joseph [is] alive and that he [is] ruling over all [the] land of Egypt and it grew numb heart his for not he believed them.
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 And they spoke to him all [the] words of Joseph which he had spoken to them and he saw the carts which he had sent Joseph to carry him and it lived [the] spirit of Jacob father their.
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 And he said Israel enough still Joseph son my [is] alive I will go so I may see him before I will die.
Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
