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.
Da kunde Josef ikke længer beherske sig over for alle dem der stod hos ham, og han råbte "Lad alle gå ud!" Således var der ingen til Stede, da Josef gav sig til Kende for sine Brødre.
2 He wept loudly, the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard of it.
Så brast han i lydelig Gråd, så Ægypterne hørte det, og det spurgtes i Faraos Hus;
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.
og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: "Jeg er Josef! Lever min Fader endnu?" Men hans Brødre kunde ikke svare ham, så forfærdede var de for ham.
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.
Så sagde Josef til sine Brødre: "Kom hen til mig!" Og da de kom derhen, sagde Josef: "Jeg er eders Broder Josef, som I solgte til Ægypten;
5 Do not be grieved or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.
men I skal ikke græmme eder eller være forknytte, fordi I solgte mig herhen, thi Gud har sendt mig forud for eder for at opholde Liv;
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.
i to År har der nu været Hungersnød i Landet, og fem År endnu skal der hverken pløjes eller høstes;
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.
derfor sendte Gud mig forud for eder, for at I kan få Efterkommere på Jorden, og for at mange hos eder kan reddes og holdes i Live.
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.
Og nu, ikke I, men Gud har sendt mig hid, og han har gjort mig til Fader hos Farao og til Herre over hele hans Hus og til Hersker over hele Ægypten.
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.
Skynd jer nu hjem til min Fader og sig til ham: Din Søn Josef lader sige: Gud har sat mig til Hersker over hele Ægypten; kom uden Tøven ned til mig
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.
og tag Bolig i Gosens Land og bo i min Nærhed med dine Sønner og Sønnesønner, dit Småkvæg og Hornkvæg og alt, hvad du ejer og har;
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.”'
der vil jeg sørge for dit Underhold - thi Hungersnøden vil vare fem År endnu - for at ikke du, dit Hus eller nogen, der hører dig til, skal gå til Grunde!
12 Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Nu ser I, også min Broder Benjamin, med egne Øjne, at det er mig, der taler til eder;
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.”
og I skal fortælle min Fader om al min Herlighed i Ægypten og om alt, hvad I har set, og så skal I skynde eder at bringe min Fader herned."
14 He hugged his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Så faldt han grædende sin Broder Benjamin om Halsen, og Benjamin græd i hans Arme.
15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them. After that his brothers talked with him.
Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd ved deres Bryst; og nu kunde hans Brødre tale med ham.
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.
Men det spurgtes i Faraos Hus, at Josefs Brødre var kommet, og Farao og hans Tjenere glædede sig derover:
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go to the land of Canaan.
og Farao sagde til Josef: "Sig til dine Brødre: Således skal I gøre: Læs eders Dyr og drag til Kana'ans Land,
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.'
hent eders Fader og eders Familier og kom hid til mig, så vil jeg give eder det bedste, der er i Ægypten, og I skal nyde Landets Fedme.
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.
Byd dem at gøre således: Tag eder Vogne i Ægypten til eders Børn og Kvinder, sæt eders Fader op og kom hid;
20 Do not be concerned about your possessions, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.'”
bryd eder ikke om eders Ejendele, thi det bedste, der er i hele Ægypten, skal være eders!"
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
Det gjorde Israels Sønner så. Og efter Faraos Bud gav Josef dem Vogne og Rejsekost med;
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.
hver især gav han dem et Sæt Festklæder, men Benjamin gav han 300 Sekel Sølv og fem Sæt Festklæder;
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.
og sin Fader sendte han ti Æsler med det bedste, der var i Ægypten og ti Aseninder med Korn, Brød og Rejsetæring til Faderen.
24 So he sent his brothers away and they left. He said to them, “See that you do not quarrel on the journey.”
Så tog han Afsked med sine Brødre, og da de drog bort, sagde han til dem: "Kives ikke på Vejen!"
25 They went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
Således drog de hjem fra Ægypten og kom til deres Fader Jakob i Kana'ans Land;
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.
og de fortalte ham det og sagde: "Josef lever endnu, og han er Hersker over hele Ægypten." Men hans Hjerte blev koldt, thi han troede dem ikke.
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.
Så fortalte de ham alt, hvad Josef havde sagt til dem; og da han så Vognene, som Josef havde sendt for at hente ham, oplivedes deres Fader Jakobs Ånd atter;
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
og Israel sagde: "Det er stort, min Søn Josef lever endnu; jeg vil drage hen og se ham, inden jeg dør!"
