Genesis 45

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him; and he cried, "Make every one go out from me." So no one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.	1 Non se poterat ultra cohibere Joseph multis coram astantibus : unde præcepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras, et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuæ.
2 And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it.	2 Elevavitque vocem cum fletu, quam audierunt Ægyptii, omnisque domus Pharaonis.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; is my father still alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.	3 Et dixit fratribus suis : Ego sum Joseph : adhuc pater meus vivit ? Non poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti.
4 So Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, I pray you." And they came near. And he said, "I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.	4 Ad quos ille clementer : Accedite, inquit, ad me. Et cum accessissent prope : Ego sum, ait, Joseph, frater vester, quem vendidistis in Ægyptum.
5 And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.	5 Nolite pavere, neque vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus : pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in Ægyptum.
6 For the famine has been in the land these two years; and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.	6 Biennium est enim quod c?pit fames esse in terra : et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit, nec meti.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors.	7 Præmisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram, et escas ad vivendum habere possitis.
8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.	8 Non vestro consilio, sed Dei voluntate huc missus sum : qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis, et dominum universæ domus ejus, ac principem in omni terra Ægypti.
9 Make haste and go up to my father and say to him, 'Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not tarry;	9 Festinate, et ascendite ad patrem meum, et dicetis ei : Hæc mandat filius tuus Joseph : Deus fecit me dominum universæ terræ Ægypti : descende ad me, ne moreris,
10 you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks, your herds, and all that you have;	10 et habitabis in terra Gessen : erisque juxta me tu, et filii tui, et filii filiorum tuorum, oves tuæ, et armenta tua, et universa quæ possides :
11 and there I will provide for you, for there are yet five years of famine to come; lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty.'	11 ibique te pascam (adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis) ne et tu pereas, et domus tua, et omnia quæ possides.
12 And now your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.	12 En oculi vestri, et oculi fratris mei Benjamin, vident quod os meum loquatur ad vos.
13 You must tell my father of all my splendor in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. Make haste and bring my father down here."	13 Nuntiate patri meo universam gloriam meam, et cuncta quæ vidistis in Ægypto : festinate, et adducite eum ad me.
14 Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.	14 Cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Benjamin fratris sui, flevit : illo quoque similiter flente super collum ejus.
15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and after that his brothers talked with him.	15 Osculatusque est Joseph omnes fratres suos, et ploravit super singulos : post quæ ausi sunt loqui ad eum.
16 When the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, "Joseph's brothers have come," it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.	16 Auditumque est, et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis : Venerunt fratres Joseph : et gavisus est Pharao, atque omnis familia ejus.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this: load your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;	17 Dixitque ad Joseph ut imperaret fratribus suis, dicens : Onerantes jumenta, ite in terram Chanaan,
18 and take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.'	18 et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem, et venite ad me : et ego dabo vobis omnia bona Ægypti, ut comedatis medullam terræ.
19 Command them also, 'Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.	19 Præcipe etiam ut tollant plaustra de terra Ægypti, ad subvectionem parvulorum suorum ac conjugum : et dicito : Tollite patrem vestrum, et properate quantocius venientes.
20 Give no thought to your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"	20 Nec dimittatis quidquam de supellectili vestra : quia omnes opes Ægypti vestræ erunt.
21 The sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.	21 Feceruntque filii Israël ut eis mandatum fuerat. Quibus dedit Joseph plaustra, secundum Pharaonis imperium, et cibaria in itinere.
22 To each and all of them he gave festal garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five festal garments.	22 Singulis quoque proferri jussit binas stolas : Benjamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque stolis optimis :
23 To his father he sent as follows: ten asses loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey.	23 tantumdem pecuniæ et vestium mittens patri suo, addens et asinos decem, qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis Ægypti, et totidem asinas, triticum in itinere, panesque portantes.
24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, "Do not quarrel on the way."	24 Dimisit ergo fratres suos, et proficiscentibus ait : Ne irascamini in via.
25 So they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.	25 Qui ascendentes ex Ægypto, venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Jacob.
26 And they told him, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.	26 Et nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes : Joseph filius tuus vivit : et ipse dominatur in omni terra Ægypti. Quo audito Jacob, quasi de gravi somno evigilans, tamen non credebat eis.
27 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived;	27 Illi e contra referebant omnem ordinem rei. Cumque vidisset plaustra et universa quæ miserat, revixit spiritus ejus,
28 and Israel said, "It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive; I will go and see him before I die."	28 et ait : Sufficit mihi si adhuc Joseph filius meus vivit : vadam, et videbo illum antequam moriar.
