1 Mosebog 45

¹ Da kunde Josef ikke længer beherske sig over for alle dem der stod hos ham, og han råbte "Lad alle gå ud!" Således var der ingen til Stede, da Josef gav sig til Kende for sine Brødre.

¹ Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, “Have everyone go out from me.” So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

³ og Josef sagde til sine Brødre: "Jeg er Josef! Lever min Fader endnu?" Men hans Brødre kunde ikke svare ham, så forfærdede var de for ham.

³ Then 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.

⁵ men I skal ikke græmme eder eller være forknytte, fordi I solgte mig herhen, thi Gud har sendt mig forud for eder for at opholde Liv;

⁵ Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

⁷ derfor sendte Gud mig forud for eder, for at I kan få Efterkommere på Jorden, og for at mange hos eder kan reddes og holdes i Live.

⁷ God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

⁹ Skynd jer nu hjem til min Fader og sig til ham: Din Søn Josef lader sige: Gud har sat mig til Hersker over hele Ægypten; kom uden Tøven ned til mig

⁹ Hurry 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 delay.

¹¹ der vil jeg sørge for dit Underhold - thi Hungersnøden vil vare fem År endnu - for at ikke du, dit Hus eller nogen, der hører dig til, skal gå til Grunde!

¹¹ There I will also provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, and you and your household and all that you have would be impoverished.”’

¹³ og I skal fortælle min Fader om al min Herlighed i Ægypten og om alt, hvad I har set, og så skal I skynde eder at bringe min Fader herned."

¹³ Now you must tell my father of all my splendor in Egypt, and all that you have seen; and you must hurry and bring my father down here.”

¹⁵ Og han kyssede alle sine Brødre og græd ved deres Bryst; og nu kunde hans Brødre tale med ham.

¹⁵ He kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and afterward his brothers talked with him.

¹⁷ og Farao sagde til Josef: "Sig til dine Brødre: Således skal I gøre: Læs eders Dyr og drag til Kana'ans Land,

¹⁷ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and go to the land of Canaan,

¹⁹ Byd dem at gøre således: Tag eder Vogne i Ægypten til eders Børn og Kvinder, sæt eders Fader op og kom hid;

¹⁹ Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.

²¹ Det gjorde Israels Sønner så. Og efter Faraos Bud gav Josef dem Vogne og Rejsekost med;

²¹ Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.

²³ og sin Fader sendte han ti Æsler med det bedste, der var i Ægypten og ti Aseninder med Korn, Brød og Rejsetæring til Faderen.

²³ To his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father on the journey.

²⁵ Således drog de hjem fra Ægypten og kom til deres Fader Jakob i Kana'ans Land;

²⁵ Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.

²⁷ Så fortalte de ham alt, hvad Josef havde sagt til dem; og da han så Vognene, som Josef havde sendt for at hente ham, oplivedes deres Fader Jakobs Ånd atter;

²⁷ When they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
