LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και ουκ ηδυνατο ιωσηφ ανεχεσθαι παντων των παρεστηκοτων αυτω αλλ' ειπεν εξαποστειλατε παντας απ' εμου και ου παρειστηκει ουδεις ετι τω ιωσηφ ηνικα ανεγνωριζετο τοις αδελφοις αυτου	1 Joseph was unable to restrain himself any longer, standing before so many. Therefore, he instructed that all should go outside, and that no stranger should be among them as they recognized one another.
2 και αφηκεν φωνην μετα κλαυθμου ηκουσαν δε παντες οι αιγυπτιοι και ακουστον εγενετο εις τον οικον φαραω	2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
3 ειπεν δε ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου εγω ειμι ιωσηφ ετι ο πατηρ μου ζη και ουκ εδυναντο οι αδελφοι αποκριθηναι αυτω εταραχθησαν γαρ	3 And he said to his brothers: “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” His brothers were unable to respond, being terrified by a very great fear.
4 ειπεν δε ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου εγγισατε προς με και ηγγισαν και ειπεν εγω ειμι ιωσηφ ο αδελφος υμων ον απεδοσθε εις αιγυπτον	4 And he said to them mildly, “Approach toward me.” And when they had approached close by, he said: “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 νυν ουν μη λυπεισθε μηδε σκληρον υμιν φανητω οτι απεδοσθε με ωδε εις γαρ ζωην απεστειλεν με ο θεος εμπροσθεν υμων	5 Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.
6 τουτο γαρ δευτερον ετος λιμος επι της γης και ετι λοιπα πεντε ετη εν οις ουκ εσται αροτριασις ουδε αμητος	6 For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.
7 απεστειλεν γαρ με ο θεος εμπροσθεν υμων υπολειπεσθαι υμων καταλειμμα επι της γης και εκθρεψαι υμων καταλειψιν μεγαλην	7 And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.
8 νυν ουν ουχ υμεις με απεσταλκατε ωδε αλλ' η ο θεος και εποιησεν με ως πατερα φαραω και κυριον παντος του οικου αυτου και αρχοντα πασης γης αιγυπτου	8 I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 σπευσαντες ουν αναβητε προς τον πατερα μου και ειπατε αυτω ταδε λεγει ο υιος σου ιωσηφ εποιησεν με ο θεος κυριον πασης γης αιγυπτου καταβηθι ουν προς με και μη μεινης	9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: ‘Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
10 και κατοικησεις εν γη γεσεμ αραβιας και εση εγγυς μου συ και οι υιοι σου και οι υιοι των υιων σου τα προβατα σου και αι βοες σου και οσα σοι εστιν	10 and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
11 και εκθρεψω σε εκει ετι γαρ πεντε ετη λιμος ινα μη εκτριβης συ και οι υιοι σου και παντα τα υπαρχοντα σου	11 And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.’
12 ιδου οι οφθαλμοι υμων βλεπουσιν και οι οφθαλμοι βενιαμιν του αδελφου μου οτι το στομα μου το λαλουν προς υμας	12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
13 απαγγειλατε ουν τω πατρι μου πασαν την δοξαν μου την εν αιγυπτω και οσα ειδετε και ταχυναντες καταγαγετε τον πατερα μου ωδε	13 You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me.”
14 και επιπεσων επι τον τραχηλον βενιαμιν του αδελφου αυτου εκλαυσεν επ' αυτω και βενιαμιν εκλαυσεν επι τω τραχηλω αυτου	14 And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
15 και καταφιλησας παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εκλαυσεν επ' αυτοις και μετα ταυτα ελαλησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου προς αυτον	15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 και διεβοηθη η φωνη εις τον οικον φαραω λεγοντες ηκασιν οι αδελφοι ιωσηφ εχαρη δε φαραω και η θεραπεια αυτου	16 And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king’s court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
17 ειπεν δε φαραω προς ιωσηφ ειπον τοις αδελφοις σου τουτο ποιησατε γεμισατε τα πορεια υμων και απελθατε εις γην χανααν	17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “ ‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
18 και παραλαβοντες τον πατερα υμων και τα υπαρχοντα υμων ηκετε προς με και δωσω υμιν παντων των αγαθων αιγυπτου και φαγεσθε τον μυελον της γης	18 and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.’ ”
19 συ δε εντειλαι ταυτα λαβειν αυτοις αμαξας εκ γης αιγυπτου τοις παιδιοις υμων και ταις γυναιξιν και αναλαβοντες τον πατερα υμων παραγινεσθε	19 “And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: ‘Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
20 και μη φεισησθε τοις οφθαλμοις των σκευων υμων τα γαρ παντα αγαθα αιγυπτου υμιν εσται	20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’ ”
21 εποιησαν δε ουτως οι υιοι ισραηλ εδωκεν δε ιωσηφ αυτοις αμαξας κατα τα ειρημενα υπο φαραω του βασιλεως και εδωκεν αυτοις επισιτισμον εις την οδον	21 And the sons of Israel did just as they were commanded. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provisions for the journey.
22 και πασιν εδωκεν δισσας στολας τω δε βενιαμιν εδωκεν τριακοσιους χρυσους και πεντε εξαλλασσουσας στολας	22 Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.
23 και τω πατρι αυτου απεστειλεν κατα τα αυτα και δεκα ονους αιροντας απο παντων των αγαθων αιγυπτου και δεκα ημιονους αιρουσας αρτους τω πατρι αυτου εις οδον	23 And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
24 εξαπεστειλεν δε τους αδελφους αυτου και επορευθησαν και ειπεν αυτοις μη οργιζεσθε εν τη οδω	24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
25 και ανεβησαν εξ αιγυπτου και ηλθον εις γην χανααν προς ιακωβ τον πατερα αυτων	25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 και ανηγγειλαν αυτω λεγοντες οτι ο υιος σου ιωσηφ ζη και αυτος αρχει πασης γης αιγυπτου και εξεστη η διανοια ιακωβ ου γαρ επιστευσεν αυτοις	26 And they reported to him, saying: “Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.
27 ελαλησαν δε αυτω παντα τα ρηθεντα υπο ιωσηφ οσα ειπεν αυτοις ιδων δε τας αμαξας ας απεστειλεν ιωσηφ ωστε αναλαβειν αυτον ανεζωπυρησεν το πνευμα ιακωβ του πατρος αυτων	27 To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,
28 ειπεν δε ισραηλ μεγα μοι εστιν ει ετι ιωσηφ ο υιος μου ζη πορευθεις οψομαι αυτον προ του αποθανειν με	28 and he said: “It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
