Genesis 45

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Joseph could no longer control himself in the presence of all his attendants, so he cried out, "Have everyone withdraw from me!" Thus no one else was about when he made himself known to his brothers.	1 فلم يستطع يوسف ان يضبط نفسه لدى جميع الواقفين عنده فصرخ أخرجوا كل انسان عني. فلم يقف احد عنده حين عرّف يوسف اخوته بنفسه.
2 But his sobs were so loud that the Egyptians heard him, and so the news reached Pharaoh's palace.	2 فاطلق صوته بالبكاء. فسمع المصريون وسمع بيت فرعون.
3 "I am Joseph," he said to his brothers. "Is my father still in good health?" But his brothers could give him no answer, so dumbfounded were they at him.	3 وقال يوسف لاخوته انا يوسف. أحيّ ابي بعد. فلم يستطع اخوته ان يجيبوه لانهم ارتاعوا منه
4 "Come closer to me," he told his brothers. When they had done so, he said: "I am your brother Joseph, whom you once sold into Egypt.	4 فقال يوسف لاخوته تقدموا اليّ. فتقدموا. فقال انا يوسف اخوكم الذي بعتموه الى مصر.
5 But now do not be distressed, and do not reproach yourselves for having sold me here. It was really for the sake of saving lives that God sent me here ahead of you.	5 والآن لا تتأسّفوا ولا تغتاظوا لانكم بعتموني الى هنا. لانه لاستبقاء حياة ارسلني الله قدّامكم.
6 For two years now the famine has been in the land, and for five more years tillage will yield no harvest.	6 لان للجوع في الارض الآن سنتين. وخمس سنين ايضا لا تكون فيها فلاحة ولا حصاد.
7 God, therefore, sent me on ahead of you to ensure for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives in an extraordinary deliverance.	7 فقد ارسلني الله قدامكم ليجعل لكم بقية في الارض وليستبقي لكم نجاة عظيمة.
8 So it was not really you but God who had me come here; and he has made of me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his household, and ruler over the whole land of Egypt.	8 فالآن ليس انتم ارسلتموني الى هنا بل الله. وهو قد جعلني ابا لفرعون وسيّدا لكل بيته ومتسلطا على كل ارض مصر.
9 "Hurry back, then, to my father and tell him: 'Thus says your son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt; come to me without delay.	9 اسرعوا واصعدوا الى ابي وقولوا له هكذا يقول ابنك يوسف. قد جعلني الله سيدا لكل مصر. انزل اليّ. لا تقف.
10 You will settle in the region of Goshen, where you will be near me--you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything that you own.	10 فتسكن في ارض جاسان وتكون قريبا مني انت وبنوك وبنو بنيك وغنمك وبقرك وكل مالك.
11 Since five years of famine still lie ahead, I will provide for you there, so that you and your family and all that are yours may not suffer want.'	11 واعولك هناك لانه يكون ايضا خمس سنين جوعا. لئلا تفتقر انت وبيتك وكل مالك.
12 Surely, you can see for yourselves, and Benjamin can see for himself, that it is I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.	12 وهوذا عيونكم ترى وعينا اخي بنيامين ان فمي هو الذي يكلمكم.
13 Tell my father all about my high position in Egypt and what you have seen. But hurry and bring my father down here."	13 وتخبرون ابي بكل مجدي في مصر وبكل ما رأيتم وتستعجلون وتنزلون بابي الى هنا
14 Thereupon he flung himself on the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept in his arms.	14 ثم وقع على عنق بنيامين اخيه وبكى. وبكى بنيامين على عنقه.
15 Joseph then kissed all his brothers, crying over each of them; and only then were his brothers able to talk with him.	15 وقبّل جميع اخوته وبكى عليهم. وبعد ذلك تكلم اخوته معه
16 When the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had come, Pharaoh and his courtiers were pleased.	16 وسمع الخبر في بيت فرعون وقيل جاء اخوة يوسف. فحسن في عيني فرعون وفي عيون عبيده.
17 So Pharaoh told Joseph: "Say to your brothers: 'This is what you shall do: Load up your animals and go without delay to the land of Canaan.	17 فقال فرعون ليوسف قل لاخوتك افعلوا هذا. حمّلوا دوابكم وانطلقوا اذهبوا الى ارض كنعان.
18 There get your father and your families, and then come back here to me; I will assign you the best land in Egypt, where you will live off the fat of the land.'	18 وخذوا اباكم وبيوتكم وتعالوا اليّ. فاعطيكم خيرات ارض مصر وتاكلوا دسم الارض.
19 Instruct them further: 'Do this. Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your children and your wives and to transport your father on your way back here.	19 فانت قد أمرت. افعلوا هذا. خذوا لكم من ارض مصر عجلات لاولادكم ونسائكم واحملوا اباكم وتعالوا.
20 Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best in the whole land of Egypt shall be yours.'"	20 ولا تحزن عيونكم على اثاثكم. لان خيرات جميع ارض مصر لكم
21 The sons of Israel acted accordingly. Joseph gave them the wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered, and he supplied them with provisions for the journey.	21 ففعل بنو اسرائيل هكذا. واعطاهم يوسف عجلات بحسب امر فرعون. واعطاهم زادا للطريق.
22 He also gave to each of them fresh clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of garments.	22 واعطى كل واحد منهم حلل ثياب. واما بنيامين فاعطاه ثلاث مئة من الفضة وخمس حلل ثياب.
23 Moreover, what he sent to his father was ten jackasses loaded with the finest products of Egypt and ten jennies loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.	23 وارسل لابيه هكذا. عشرة حمير حاملة من خيرات مصر وعشر أتن حاملة حنطة وخبزا وطعاما لابيه لاجل الطريق.
24 As he sent his brothers on their way, he told them, "Let there be no recriminations on the way."	24 ثم صرف اخوته فانطلقوا وقال لهم لا تتغاضبوا في الطريق
25 So they left Egypt and made their way to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.	25 فصعدوا من مصر وجاءوا الى ارض كنعان الى يعقوب ابيهم.
26 When they told him, "Joseph is still alive--in fact, it is he who is ruler of all the land of Egypt," he was dumbfounded; he could not believe them.	26 واخبروه قائلين يوسف حيّ بعد. وهو متسلط على كل ارض مصر. فجمد قلبه لانه لم يصدقهم.
27 But when they recounted to him all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent for his transport, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.	27 ثم كلموه بكل كلام يوسف الذي كلمهم به. وابصر العجلات التي ارسلها يوسف لتحمله. فعاشت روح يعقوب ابيهم.
28 "It is enough," said Israel. "My son Joseph is still alive! I must go and see him before I die."	28 فقال اسرائيل كفى. يوسف ابني حيّ بعد. أذهب واراه قبل ان اموت
