Genesis 45

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Joseph could not control his feelings in front of al his retainers, and he exclaimed, 'Let everyoneleave me.' No one therefore was present with him while Joseph 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 he wept so loudly that al the Egyptians heard, and the news reached Pharaoh's palace.	2 فاطلق صوته بالبكاء. فسمع المصريون وسمع بيت فرعون.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, 'I am Joseph. Is my father real y stil alive?' His brothers could not answerhim, they were so dumbfounded at seeing him.	3 وقال يوسف لاخوته انا يوسف. أحيّ ابي بعد. فلم يستطع اخوته ان يجيبوه لانهم ارتاعوا منه
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, 'Come closer to me.' When they had come closer to him he said, 'Iam your brother Joseph whom you sold into Egypt.	4 فقال يوسف لاخوته تقدموا اليّ. فتقدموا. فقال انا يوسف اخوكم الذي بعتموه الى مصر.
5 But now, do not grieve, do not reproach yourselves for having sold me here, since God sent mebefore you to preserve your lives.	5 والآن لا تتأسّفوا ولا تغتاظوا لانكم بعتموني الى هنا. لانه لاستبقاء حياة ارسلني الله قدّامكم.
6 For this is the second year there has been famine in the country, and there are still five years to comewithout ploughing or harvest.	6 لان للجوع في الارض الآن سنتين. وخمس سنين ايضا لا تكون فيها فلاحة ولا حصاد.
7 God sent me before you to assure the survival of your race on earth and to save your lives by a greatdeliverance.	7 فقد ارسلني الله قدامكم ليجعل لكم بقية في الارض وليستبقي لكم نجاة عظيمة.
8 So it was not you who sent me here but God, and he has set me up as a father to Pharaoh, as lord ofal his household and governor of the whole 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 'Return quickly to your father and tel him, "Your son Joseph says this: 'God has made me lord of alEgypt. Come down 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 wil live in the region of Goshen where you wil be near me, you, your children and yourgrandchildren, your flocks, your cattle and al your possessions.	10 فتسكن في ارض جاسان وتكون قريبا مني انت وبنوك وبنو بنيك وغنمك وبقرك وكل مالك.
11 There I shal provide for you -- for there are five years of famine stil to come -- so that you, yourhousehold and all yours are not reduced to penury.' "	11 واعولك هناك لانه يكون ايضا خمس سنين جوعا. لئلا تفتقر انت وبيتك وكل مالك.
12 You can see with your own eyes, and my brother Benjamin can see too, that I am who I say I am.	12 وهوذا عيونكم ترى وعينا اخي بنيامين ان فمي هو الذي يكلمكم.
13 Give my father a ful report of al the honour I enjoy in Egypt, and of al you have seen; and quicklybring my father down here.'	13 وتخبرون ابي بكل مجدي في مصر وبكل ما رأيتم وتستعجلون وتنزلون بابي الى هنا
14 Then throwing his arms round the neck of his brother Benjamin he wept; and Benjamin wept on hisshoulder.	14 ثم وقع على عنق بنيامين اخيه وبكى. وبكى بنيامين على عنقه.
15 He kissed al his brothers, weeping on each one. Only then were his brothers able to talk to him.	15 وقبّل جميع اخوته وبكى عليهم. وبعد ذلك تكلم اخوته معه
16 News reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had come, and Pharaoh was pleased to hearit, as were his servants.	16 وسمع الخبر في بيت فرعون وقيل جاء اخوة يوسف. فحسن في عيني فرعون وفي عيون عبيده.
17 Pharaoh told Joseph, 'Say to your brothers, "Do this: load your beasts and hurry away to Canaan.	17 فقال فرعون ليوسف قل لاخوتك افعلوا هذا. حمّلوا دوابكم وانطلقوا اذهبوا الى ارض كنعان.
18 Fetch your father and your families, and come back to me. I will give you the best territory in Egypt,where you wil live off the fat of the land."	18 وخذوا اباكم وبيوتكم وتعالوا اليّ. فاعطيكم خيرات ارض مصر وتاكلوا دسم الارض.
19 And you, for your part, give them this order: "Do this: take waggons from Egypt, for your little onesand your wives. Get your father and come.	19 فانت قد أمرت. افعلوا هذا. خذوا لكم من ارض مصر عجلات لاولادكم ونسائكم واحملوا اباكم وتعالوا.
20 Never mind about your property, for the best of all Egypt will be yours." '	20 ولا تحزن عيونكم على اثاثكم. لان خيرات جميع ارض مصر لكم
21 Israel's sons did as they were told. Joseph gave them waggons as Pharaoh had ordered, and hegave them provisions for the journey.	21 ففعل بنو اسرائيل هكذا. واعطاهم يوسف عجلات بحسب امر فرعون. واعطاهم زادا للطريق.
22 To each and every one he gave new clothes, and to Benjamin three hundred shekels of silver andfive changes of clothes.	22 واعطى كل واحد منهم حلل ثياب. واما بنيامين فاعطاه ثلاث مئة من الفضة وخمس حلل ثياب.
23 And to his father he sent ten donkeys laden with the best that Egypt offered, and ten she-donkeysladen with grain, bread and food for his father's journey.	23 وارسل لابيه هكذا. عشرة حمير حاملة من خيرات مصر وعشر أتن حاملة حنطة وخبزا وطعاما لابيه لاجل الطريق.
24 And so he sent his brothers on their way. His final words to them were, 'And let there be no upsetson the way!'	24 ثم صرف اخوته فانطلقوا وقال لهم لا تتغاضبوا في الطريق
25 And so they left Egypt. When they reached their father Jacob in Canaan,	25 فصعدوا من مصر وجاءوا الى ارض كنعان الى يعقوب ابيهم.
26 they gave him this report, 'Joseph is stil alive. He is at this moment governor of al Egypt!' But hewas as one stunned, for he did not believe them.	26 واخبروه قائلين يوسف حيّ بعد. وهو متسلط على كل ارض مصر. فجمد قلبه لانه لم يصدقهم.
27 However, when they told him all Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the waggons thatJoseph had sent to fetch him, 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 and Israel said, 'That is enough! My son Joseph is stil alive. I must go and see him before I die.'	28 فقال اسرائيل كفى. يوسف ابني حيّ بعد. أذهب واراه قبل ان اموت
