Genesis 45

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.	1 Non se poterat ultra cohibere Ioseph omnibus coram astantibus, unde clamavit: “ Egredimini, cuncti, foras! ”. Et nemo aderat cum eo, quando manifestavit se fratribus suis.
2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.	2 Elevavitque vocem cum fletu, quam audierunt Aegyptii omnisque domus pharaonis.
3 And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could no answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.	3 Et dixit Ioseph fratribus suis: “ Ego sum Ioseph! Adhuc pater meus vivit? ”. Nec poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti.
4 And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.	4 Ad quos ille clementer: “ Accedite, inquit, ad me ”. Et cum accessissent prope: “ Ego sum, ait, Ioseph frater vester, quem vendidistis in Aegyptum.
5 Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.	5 Nolite contristari, neque vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus. Pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in Aegyptum.
6 For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.	6 Biennium est enim quod coepit fames esse in terra, et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit nec meti.
7 And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.	7 Praemisitque me Deus, ut reservemini super terram, et servetur vita vestra in salvationem magnam.
8 Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whold house, and governor in all the land of Egypt.	8 Non vestro consilio, sed Dei voluntate huc missus sum, qui fecit me quasi patrem pharaonis et dominum universae domus eius ac principem in omni terra Aegypti.
9 Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.	9 Festinate et ascendite ad patrem meum et dicetis ei: "Haec mandat filius tuus Ioseph: Deus fecit me dominum universae terrae Aegypti; descende ad me, ne moreris.
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, thy sheep, and thy gerds, and all things that thou hast.	10 Et habitabis in terra Gessen; erisque iuxta me tu et filii tui et filii filiorum tuorum, oves tuae et armenta tua et universa, quae possides.
11 And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining,) lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.	11 Ibique te pascam ­ adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis ­ ne et tu pereas et domus tua et omnia, quae possides".
12 Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.	12 En oculi vestri et oculi fratris mei Beniamin vident quia os meum est, quod loquitur ad vos.
13 You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.	13 Nuntiate patri meo universam gloriam meam in Aegypto et cuncta, quae vidistis. Festinate et adducite eum ad me ”.
14 And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.	14 Cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Beniamin fratris sui, flevit, illo quoque similiter flente, super collum eius.
15 And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to ,peak to him.	15 Osculatusque est Ioseph omnes fratres suos et ploravit super singulos. Post quae ausi sunt loqui ad eum.
16 And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king's court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.	16 Auditumque est et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis: “ Venerunt fratres Ioseph! ”. Et gavisus est pharao atque omnis familia eius.
17 And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying : Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.	17 Dixitque ad Ioseph, ut imperaret fratribus suis dicens: “ Onerantes iumenta ite in terram Chanaan
18 And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.	18 et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem et venite ad me; et ego dabo vobis omnia bona Aegypti, ut comedatis medullam terrae.
19 Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for/ the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:	19 Praecipe etiam: tollite plaustra de terra Aegypti ad subvectionem parvulorum vestrorum ac coniugum et tollite patrem vestrum et properate quantocius venientes.
20 And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.	20 Nec doleatis super supellectilem vestram, quia omnes opes Aegypti vestrae erunt ”.
21 And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao's commandment: and provisions for the way.	21 Feceruntque filii Israel, ut eis mandatum fuerat. Quibus dedit Ioseph plaustra secundum pharaonis imperium et cibaria in itinere.
22 He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with Ave robes of the best:	22 Singulis quoque proferri iussit vestimentum mutatorium; Beniamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque
23 Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.	23 vestimentis mutatoriis. Patri suo misit similiter asinos decem, qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis Aegypti, et totidem asinas triticum et panem et cibum pro itinere portantes.
24 So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.	24 Dimisit ergo fratres suos et proficiscentibus ait: “ Ne irascamini in via! ”.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.	25 Qui ascendentes ex Aegypto venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Iacob
26 And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.	26 et nuntiaverunt ei dicentes: “ Ioseph vivit et ipse dominatur in omni terra Aegypti! ”. At cor eius frigidum mansit; non enim credebat eis.
27 They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,	27 Tunc referebant omnia verba Ioseph, quae dixerat eis. Cumque vidisset plaustra et universa, quae miserat ad adducendum eum, revixit spiritus eius,
28 And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: Iwill go and see him before I die.	28 et ait: “ Sufficit mihi, si adhuc Ioseph filius meus vivit. Vadam et videbo illum, antequam moriar ”.
