SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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.	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 فاطلق صوته بالبكاء. فسمع المصريون وسمع بيت فرعون.	2 And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians heard, along with the entire house of Pharaoh.
3 وقال يوسف لاخوته انا يوسف. أحيّ ابي بعد. فلم يستطع اخوته ان يجيبوه لانهم ارتاعوا منه	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 فقال يوسف لاخوته تقدموا اليّ. فتقدموا. فقال انا يوسف اخوكم الذي بعتموه الى مصر.	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 والآن لا تتأسّفوا ولا تغتاظوا لانكم بعتموني الى هنا. لانه لاستبقاء حياة ارسلني الله قدّامكم.	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 لان للجوع في الارض الآن سنتين. وخمس سنين ايضا لا تكون فيها فلاحة ولا حصاد.	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 فقد ارسلني الله قدامكم ليجعل لكم بقية في الارض وليستبقي لكم نجاة عظيمة.	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 فالآن ليس انتم ارسلتموني الى هنا بل الله. وهو قد جعلني ابا لفرعون وسيّدا لكل بيته ومتسلطا على كل ارض مصر.	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 اسرعوا واصعدوا الى ابي وقولوا له هكذا يقول ابنك يوسف. قد جعلني الله سيدا لكل مصر. انزل اليّ. لا تقف.	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 فتسكن في ارض جاسان وتكون قريبا مني انت وبنوك وبنو بنيك وغنمك وبقرك وكل مالك.	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 واعولك هناك لانه يكون ايضا خمس سنين جوعا. لئلا تفتقر انت وبيتك وكل مالك.	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 وهوذا عيونكم ترى وعينا اخي بنيامين ان فمي هو الذي يكلمكم.	12 Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
13 وتخبرون ابي بكل مجدي في مصر وبكل ما رأيتم وتستعجلون وتنزلون بابي الى هنا	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 ثم وقع على عنق بنيامين اخيه وبكى. وبكى بنيامين على عنقه.	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 وقبّل جميع اخوته وبكى عليهم. وبعد ذلك تكلم اخوته معه	15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
16 وسمع الخبر في بيت فرعون وقيل جاء اخوة يوسف. فحسن في عيني فرعون وفي عيون عبيده.	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 فقال فرعون ليوسف قل لاخوتك افعلوا هذا. حمّلوا دوابكم وانطلقوا اذهبوا الى ارض كنعان.	17 And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: “ ‘Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
18 وخذوا اباكم وبيوتكم وتعالوا اليّ. فاعطيكم خيرات ارض مصر وتاكلوا دسم الارض.	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 فانت قد أمرت. افعلوا هذا. خذوا لكم من ارض مصر عجلات لاولادكم ونسائكم واحملوا اباكم وتعالوا.	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 ولا تحزن عيونكم على اثاثكم. لان خيرات جميع ارض مصر لكم	20 You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.’ ”
21 ففعل بنو اسرائيل هكذا. واعطاهم يوسف عجلات بحسب امر فرعون. واعطاهم زادا للطريق.	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 واعطى كل واحد منهم حلل ثياب. واما بنيامين فاعطاه ثلاث مئة من الفضة وخمس حلل ثياب.	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 وارسل لابيه هكذا. عشرة حمير حاملة من خيرات مصر وعشر أتن حاملة حنطة وخبزا وطعاما لابيه لاجل الطريق.	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 ثم صرف اخوته فانطلقوا وقال لهم لا تتغاضبوا في الطريق	24 Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, “Do not become angry on the way.”
25 فصعدوا من مصر وجاءوا الى ارض كنعان الى يعقوب ابيهم.	25 And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 واخبروه قائلين يوسف حيّ بعد. وهو متسلط على كل ارض مصر. فجمد قلبه لانه لم يصدقهم.	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 ثم كلموه بكل كلام يوسف الذي كلمهم به. وابصر العجلات التي ارسلها يوسف لتحمله. فعاشت روح يعقوب ابيهم.	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 فقال اسرائيل كفى. يوسف ابني حيّ بعد. أذهب واراه قبل ان اموت	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.”
