Genesis 45
1 Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
Yusuf tidak sanggup lagi menahan perasaannya di hadapan pegawai-pegawainya Karena itu disuruhnya mereka meninggalkan ruangan itu supaya ia dapat menyatakan kepada saudara-saudaranya siapa dia sebenarnya.
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
Setelah semua pegawainya meninggalkan ruangan, menangislah Yusuf keras-keras, sehingga orang-orang Mesir di luar ruangan mendengarnya, dan sampailah kabar itu ke istana raja.
3 And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
Yusuf berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Saya ini Yusuf. Masih hidupkah ayah?" Melihat itu saudara-saudaranya takut sekali sehingga tidak dapat menjawab.
4 And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Lalu kata Yusuf kepada mereka, "Marilah ke sini." Mereka mendekat, dan dia berkata lagi, "Saya Yusuf, yang telah kalian jual ke Mesir.
5 Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
Jangan takut atau menyesali dirimu karena kalian telah menjual saya. Sebenarnya Allah sendiri yang membawa saya ke sini mendahului kalian untuk menyelamatkan banyak orang.
6 For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
Sekarang baru tahun kedua dari masa kelaparan, dan selama lima tahun lagi orang tidak akan membajak atau panen.
7 And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
Allah telah membawa saya mendahului kalian untuk menyelamatkan kalian dengan cara yang mengherankan ini, dan untuk menjamin keselamatanmu dan kelanjutan keturunanmu.
8 I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
Jadi, sebetulnya bukan kalian yang menyebabkan saya ada di sini, melainkan Allah. Dia telah menjadikan saya pegawai tertinggi raja Mesir. Saya diserahi kuasa atas seluruh rumah tangganya dan seluruh Mesir.
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
Sekarang, cepatlah kalian kembali kepada ayah dan katakanlah kepadanya bahwa Yusuf, anaknya, berkata begini, 'Allah telah menjadikan saya penguasa atas seluruh Mesir; datanglah selekas mungkin.
10 and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
Ayah dapat tinggal di daerah Gosyen, dekat dengan saya--ayah, dengan anak cucu, domba, kambing, sapi dan segala milik ayah.
11 And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
Jika ayah ada di Gosyen, saya dapat memelihara ayah. Masa kelaparan masih berlangsung lima tahun lagi dan akan saya usahakan supaya ayah, keluarga dan ternak ayah jangan kekurangan apa-apa.'"
12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
Kata Yusuf lagi, "Sekarang kalian lihat sendiri, juga engkau Benyamin, bahwa saya benar-benar Yusuf.
13 You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
Katakanlah kepada ayah kita betapa besar kuasa saya di sini, di Mesir, dan ceritakanlah kepadanya segala yang sudah kalian lihat. Lalu cepat-cepatlah bawa dia kemari."
14 And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
Sesudah itu ia memeluk Benyamin, adiknya itu, lalu menangis; Benyamin juga menangis sambil memeluk Yusuf pula.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
Kemudian, dengan masih menangis, Yusuf memeluk semua saudaranya dan mencium mereka. Setelah itu mereka mulai bercakap-cakap dengan dia.
16 And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
Ketika di istana raja terdengar kabar bahwa saudara-saudara Yusuf datang, raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut senang.
17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
Lalu berkatalah raja kepada Yusuf, "Suruhlah saudara-saudaramu itu membebani keledai mereka dengan gandum dan pulang ke Kanaan
18 and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’”
untuk menjemput ayah dan keluarga mereka lalu pindah ke mari. Aku akan memberikan kepada mereka tanah yang paling baik di Mesir, dan mereka akan dapat hidup dengan berkecukupan dari hasil tanah itu.
19 “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
Suruhlah mereka juga membawa dari sini beberapa kereta untuk istri dan anak-anak mereka yang masih kecil, dan untuk menjemput ayah mereka.
20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’”
Mereka tak perlu memikirkan barang-barang yang terpaksa mereka tinggalkan, karena yang paling baik di seluruh Mesir akan menjadi milik mereka."
21 And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
Anak-anak Yakub melakukan perintah raja itu. Yusuf memberikan kepada mereka beberapa kereta, sesuai dengan perintah raja, dan juga bekal untuk perjalanan.
22 Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
Diberikannya juga kepada mereka masing-masing satu setel pakaian baru, tetapi kepada Benyamin diberinya tiga ratus uang perak dan lima setel pakaian baru.
23 And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
Ia mengirimkan kepada ayahnya sepuluh ekor keledai yang dibebani dengan barang-barang yang terbaik dari Mesir, dan sepuluh keledai lagi yang dibebani dengan gandum, roti dan makanan lain untuk dimakan dalam perjalanannya ke Mesir.
24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
Kemudian ia memberangkatkan saudara-saudaranya, sambil berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan bertengkar di jalan."
25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
Mereka meninggalkan Mesir dan pulang ke Kanaan kepada Yakub, ayah mereka.
26 And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
"Yusuf masih hidup!" kata mereka kepadanya. "Dia penguasa atas seluruh Mesir!" Mendengar berita itu, Yakub termangu-mangu, dan ia tidak percaya kepada mereka.
27 To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
Tetapi setelah mereka menceritakan semua yang dikatakan Yusuf kepada mereka, dan ketika ia melihat kereta yang dikirim Yusuf untuk menjemputnya dan membawanya ke Mesir, sadarlah ia dari lamunannya.
28 and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
"Anakku Yusuf masih hidup!" katanya. "Hanya itulah yang kuinginkan! Aku harus pergi dan melihatnya sebelum aku mati."
