Da klarte ikke Josef å holde seg lenger foran de som sto der, og han ropte: "Få alle ut herfra!" Så stod det ingen hos ham da han lot brødrene få vite hvem han var.

Then Joseph couldn't control himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried, "Cause every man to go out from me!" There stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

Han gråt høylytt. Egypterne og Faraos hus hørte det.

He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

Josef sa til brødrene: "Jeg er Josef! Lever faren min fortsatt?" Brødrene kunne ikke svare ham, for de var lamslått av skrekk overfor ham.

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.

Josef sa til brødrene: "Kom nærmere meg, vær så snill." De kom nærmere. Han sa: "Jeg er Josef, deres bror, som dere solgte til Egypt.

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.

Men nå, ikke vær bedrøvet eller sinte på dere selv fordi dere solgte meg hit, for Gud har sendt meg foran dere for å berge liv.

Now don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

For i to år har hungersnøden vært i landet, og det er ennå fem år uten pløying eller innhøsting.

For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.

Gud har sendt meg foran dere for å bevare dere som en rest på jorden og for å berge livet deres ved en stor utfrielse.

God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

Så nå var det ikke dere som sendte meg hit, men Gud. Han har gjort meg til en far for Farao, herre over hele hans hus og hersker over hele 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.

Skynd dere og dra opp til far, og fortell ham: 'Dette sier din sønn Josef: "Gud har gjort meg til herre over hele Egypt. Kom ned til meg uten å vente.

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.

Du skal bo i landet Gosen, og du skal være nær meg, du, dine barn, dine barnebarn, dine flokker, dine buskap og alt du har.

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.

Der vil jeg sørge for deg, for det er ennå fem år med hungersnød. Ellers kan du og ditt hus og alt det du har bli fattige."'

There I will nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have."'

Se, deres egne øyne ser, og min bror Benjamin ser at det er min munn som snakker til dere.

Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

Dere skal fortelle far alt om min ære i Egypt og alt dere har sett. Skynd dere og hent far hit."

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."

Han falt om halsen på Benjamin, sin bror, og gråt, og Benjamin gråt på hans hals.

He fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

Han kysset alle brødrene og gråt over dem. Etter dette snakket brødrene med ham.

He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

Ryktet om dette nådde Faraos hus: "Josefs brødre har kommet." Det gledet Farao og hans tjenere.

The report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

Farao sa til Josef: "Si til brødrene dine: 'Gjør dette. Laste dyrene deres og dra, reis til Kanaans land.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this. Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.

Hent far og deres husholdninger og kom til meg, så skal jeg gi dere det beste av Egypt, og dere skal spise av landets overflod.'

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.'

Nå befales dere: gjør dette. Ta vogner fra Egypt til deres små barn og koner, hent far og kom.

Now you are commanded: do this. Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

Og ikke bekymre dere for eiendelene deres, for alt det gode i Egypt er deres."

Also, don't concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all of the land of Egypt is yours."

Israels sønner gjorde slik. Josef ga dem vogner, ifølge Faraos befaling, og ga dem forsyninger til veien.

The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

Til dem alle ga han hvert sitt klesskifte, men til Benjamin ga han tre hundre sølvpenger og fem klesskifter.

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.

Til sin far sendte han dette: ti esler lastet med det beste Egypt kunne tilby, og ti eselhopper lastet med korn og brød og forsyninger til faren på veien.

To his father, he sent after this manner: 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.

Han sendte brødrene sine av sted, og de dro. Han sa til dem: "Se til at dere ikke krangler på veien."

So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, "See that you don't quarrel on the way."

Så dro de opp fra Egypt og kom til Kanaans land, til Jakob, deres far.

They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

De fortalte ham og sa: "Josef lever ennå, og han er hersker over hele Egypt." Hans hjerte sviktet, for han trodde dem ikke.

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.

De fortalte ham alt hva Josef hadde sagt til dem. Da han så vognene som Josef hadde sendt for å hente ham, fikk deres far Jakob nytt liv.

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.

Israel sa: "Det er nok! Josef, min sønn, lever ennå. Jeg vil dra og se ham før jeg dør."

Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
