Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Potem se Jožef ni mogel več zadržati pred vsemi tistimi, ki so stali z njim in zaklical je: »Naredite, da vsakdo gre izpred mene.« Noben človek ni stal z njim, medtem ko se je Jožef dal spoznati svojim bratom.
2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Na glas je zajokal in Egipčani in faraonova hiša so slišali.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
Jožef je svojim bratom rekel: »Jaz sem Jožef. Ali moj oče še živi?« Bratje pa mu niso mogli odgovoriti, kajti ob njegovi prisotnosti so bili zbegani.
4 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.
Jožef je svojim bratom rekel: »Približajte se mi, prosim vas.« Prišli so bliže. Rekel je: »Jaz sem vaš brat Jožef, ki ste ga ste prodali v Egipt.
5 Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Zdaj torej ne bodite užaloščeni niti jezni nase, da ste me prodali sèm, kajti Bog me je poslal pred vami, da ohrani življenje.
6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
Kajti ti dve leti je bila lakota v deželi in še pet let je, v katerih ne bo niti setve niti žetve.
7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
Bog pa me je poslal pred vami, da vam na zemlji ohrani potomstvo in da vaša življenja reši z veliko osvoboditvijo.
8 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.
Tako sedaj niste bili vi, ki ste me poslali sèm, temveč Bog. Naredil me je očeta faraonu in gospodarja vsej njegovi hiši in vladarja po vsej egiptovski deželi.
9 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. Don’t wait.
Pohitite in pojdite gor po mojega očeta in mu recite: ›Tako govori tvoj sin Jožef: ›Bog me je naredil gospodarja vsemu Egiptu. Pridi dol k meni, ne mudi se.
10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
Prebival boš v gošenski deželi in boš blizu mene, ti in tvoji otroci, tvojih otrok otroci in tvoji tropi, tvoje črede in vse, kar imaš
11 There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
in tam te bom hranil. Kajti še pet let lakote je, da ne bi ti in tvoja družina in vse, kar imaš, prišlo v revščino.‹
12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Glejte, vaše oči vidijo in oči mojega brata Benjamina, da so to moja usta, ki vam govorijo.
13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
Vi pa boste mojemu očetu povedali o vsej moji slavi v Egiptu in o vsem tem, kar ste videli in pohiteli boste in mojega očeta privedli sèm dol.«
14 He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
Planil je na vrat svojega brata Benjamina ter zajokal in Benjamin je jokal na njegovem vratu.
15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
Poleg tega je poljubil vse svoje brate in jokal nad njimi in potem so njegovi bratje govorili z njim.
16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Njegova slava je bila slišana v faraonovi hiši, rekoč: »Prišli so Jožefovi bratje.« In to je dobro ugajalo faraonu in njegovim služabnikom.
17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
Faraon je rekel Jožefu: »Reci svojim bratom: ›To storite. Natovorite svoje živali in pojdite in pridite v kánaansko deželo.
18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
Vzemite svojega očeta in svoje družine in pridite k meni in jaz vam bom dal dobrega iz egiptovske dežele, vi pa boste jedli tolščo dežele.
19 Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Sedaj ste zapovedani, storite tole. Vzemite si vozov iz egiptovske dežele za svoje malčke in za svoje žene in pripeljite svojega očeta in pridite.
20 Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”
Ne ozirajte se na vaše stvari, kajti dobrine vse egiptovske dežele so vaše.‹«
21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Izraelovi otroci so tako storili in Jožef jim je dal vozove, glede na faraonovo zapoved in dal jim je popotnico za pot.
22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
Vsem izmed njih je dal, vsakemu moškemu je dal zamenjavo oblačila. Toda Benjaminu je dal tristo koščkov srebra in pet zamenjav oblačila.
23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
Svojemu očetu je poslal na ta način: deset natovorjenih oslov z dobrimi stvarmi iz Egipta in deset oslic, natovorjenih z žitom, kruhom in hrano za svojega očeta po poti.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”
Tako je svoje brate poslal proč in so odrinili in rekel jim je: »Glejte, da se po poti ne prepirate.«
25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
Dvignili so se iz Egipta in prišli v kánaansko deželo k svojemu očetu Jakobu
26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.
in mu povedali, rekoč: »Jožef je še živ in je guverner nad vso egiptovsko deželo.« Jakobovo srce pa je slabelo, kajti ni jim verjel.
27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
Povedali so mu vse Jožefove besede, ki jim jih je rekel. In ko je videl vozove, ki jih je poslal Jožef, da ga odpeljejo, je oživel duh njihovega očeta Jakoba.
28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Izrael je rekel: » To je dovolj, moj sin Jožef je še živ. Šel bom in ga pogledal, preden umrem.«
