Kejadian 45
1 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.
Joseph couldn't control his emotions any longer while all his attendants were there, so he shouted out, “Everybody leave me!” So there was nobody else there when Joseph revealed who he was to his brothers.
2 Setelah semua pegawainya meninggalkan ruangan, menangislah Yusuf keras-keras, sehingga orang-orang Mesir di luar ruangan mendengarnya, dan sampailah kabar itu ke istana raja.
But he cried so loudly that the Egyptians could hear him, and they told Pharaoh's household about it.
3 Yusuf berkata kepada saudara-saudaranya, "Saya ini Yusuf. Masih hidupkah ayah?" Melihat itu saudara-saudaranya takut sekali sehingga tidak dapat menjawab.
“I'm Joseph!” he announced to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” They couldn't answer him as they were so surprised to see him face to face.
4 Lalu kata Yusuf kepada mereka, "Marilah ke sini." Mereka mendekat, dan dia berkata lagi, "Saya Yusuf, yang telah kalian jual ke Mesir.
“Please come closer to me,” he told his brothers. They came over to him. “I'm your brother Joseph who you sold into slavery in Egypt.
5 Jangan takut atau menyesali dirimu karena kalian telah menjual saya. Sebenarnya Allah sendiri yang membawa saya ke sini mendahului kalian untuk menyelamatkan banyak orang.
But don't be worried or get angry with yourselves that you sold me to be a slave here, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to save lives.
6 Sekarang baru tahun kedua dari masa kelaparan, dan selama lima tahun lagi orang tidak akan membajak atau panen.
The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping.
7 Allah telah membawa saya mendahului kalian untuk menyelamatkan kalian dengan cara yang mengherankan ini, dan untuk menjamin keselamatanmu dan kelanjutan keturunanmu.
God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.
8 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.
So it wasn't you who sent me here, but God. He was the one who made me Pharaoh's chief advisor in charge of all his affairs, and ruler of the whole country of Egypt.
9 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.
Now hurry! Go back to my father and tell him, ‘This message comes from your son Joseph: God has made me the ruler of the whole of Egypt. Come to me now; don't wait.
10 Ayah dapat tinggal di daerah Gosyen, dekat dengan saya--ayah, dengan anak cucu, domba, kambing, sapi dan segala milik ayah.
You'll live in the land of Goshen so you can be close to me with your children and grandchildren, and with your flocks and herds and everything that belongs to you.
11 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.'"
I'll make sure you have food, because there are still five more years of famine to come. Otherwise you and your family and your animals are going to starve.’”
12 Kata Yusuf lagi, "Sekarang kalian lihat sendiri, juga engkau Benyamin, bahwa saya benar-benar Yusuf.
Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you!
13 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."
Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!”
14 Sesudah itu ia memeluk Benyamin, adiknya itu, lalu menangis; Benyamin juga menangis sambil memeluk Yusuf pula.
He hugged Benjamin, and Benjamin hugged him back. They both wept for joy.
15 Kemudian, dengan masih menangis, Yusuf memeluk semua saudaranya dan mencium mereka. Setelah itu mereka mulai bercakap-cakap dengan dia.
He kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers were able to start talking with him.
16 Ketika di istana raja terdengar kabar bahwa saudara-saudara Yusuf datang, raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut senang.
Word soon reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived. Pharaoh and his officials were glad to hear the news.
17 Lalu berkatalah raja kepada Yusuf, "Suruhlah saudara-saudaramu itu membebani keledai mereka dengan gandum dan pulang ke Kanaan
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you are to do: Load your donkeys with grain and go back to the country of Canaan.
18 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.
Then bring your father and your families and return here to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you shall eat the best food the country has to offer.’
19 Suruhlah mereka juga membawa dari sini beberapa kereta untuk istri dan anak-anak mereka yang masih kecil, dan untuk menjemput ayah mereka.
Tell them to do this as well, ‘Take some wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring them and your father here.
20 Mereka tak perlu memikirkan barang-barang yang terpaksa mereka tinggalkan, karena yang paling baik di seluruh Mesir akan menjadi milik mereka."
Don't worry about bringing your possessions because the best of all Egypt is yours.’”
21 Anak-anak Yakub melakukan perintah raja itu. Yusuf memberikan kepada mereka beberapa kereta, sesuai dengan perintah raja, dan juga bekal untuk perjalanan.
So that's what the sons of Israel did. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered. He also gave them supplies for their journey.
22 Diberikannya juga kepada mereka masing-masing satu setel pakaian baru, tetapi kepada Benyamin diberinya tiga ratus uang perak dan lima setel pakaian baru.
He gave each of them new clothes. But to Benjamin he gave five sets of clothes and 300 pieces of silver.
23 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.
Joseph also sent to his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best things from Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and supplies needed for his father's journey.
24 Kemudian ia memberangkatkan saudara-saudaranya, sambil berkata kepada mereka, "Jangan bertengkar di jalan."
Then he saw his brothers off, and as they left he told them, “Don't argue on the way!”
25 Mereka meninggalkan Mesir dan pulang ke Kanaan kepada Yakub, ayah mereka.
So they left Egypt and went back home to their father Jacob in the country of Canaan.
26 "Yusuf masih hidup!" kata mereka kepadanya. "Dia penguasa atas seluruh Mesir!" Mendengar berita itu, Yakub termangu-mangu, dan ia tidak percaya kepada mereka.
“Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it!
27 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.
But when they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to take him to Egypt, Jacob came back to his senses.
28 "Anakku Yusuf masih hidup!" katanya. "Hanya itulah yang kuinginkan! Aku harus pergi dan melihatnya sebelum aku mati."
Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.”
