1 ف َلَمْ يَقدِرْ يُوسُفُ أنْ يَضْبُطَ نَفْسَهُ أمامَ خُدّامِهِ. فَصَرَخَ: «لِيَنصَرِفِ الجَمِيعُ مِنْ هُنا!» فَلَمْ يَبْقَ أحَدٌ مَعَ يُوسُفَ عِندَما كَشَفَ لَهُمْ هُوِيَّتَهُ.

¶ Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all those that stood by him, and he cried, Cause everyone to go out from me. And no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.

2 ل َكِنَّهُ بَكَى بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ حَتَّى سَمِعَهُ المِصْرِيُّونَ وَجَميعُ بَيتِ فِرعَوْنَ.

And he wept aloud; and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3 ف َقالَ يُوسُفُ لإخوَتِهِ: «أنا يُوسُفُ، فَهَلْ أبِي حَيٌّ؟» لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ إخْوَتُهُ أنْ يُجِيبُوهُ. فَقَدْ كانُوا خائِفِينَ مِنْهُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified at his presence.

4 و َقالَ يُوسُفُ لإخوَتِهِ: «تَعالُوا وَاقْتَرِبُوا مِنِّي.» فَاقتَرَبُوا، فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «أنا يُوسُفُ أخُوكُمُ الَّذي بِعْتُمُوهُ عَبداً لِمِصْرَ.

Then Joseph said unto his brethren, Now come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5 ل َكِنْ لا تَنزَعِجُوا، وَلا تَغضَبُوا مِنْ أنفُسِكُمْ لِأنَّكُمْ بِعْتُمُونِي لِهَذا المَكانِ، فَقَدْ أرْسَلَنِي اللهُ قَبلَكُمْ لِكَي أُنقِذَ حَياةَ كَثِيرِينَ.

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you for life.

6 ه ا قَدْ مَضَتْ سَنَتانِ عَلَى المَجاعَةِ. وَما زالَتْ هُناكَ خَمْسُ سَنَواتٍ دُونَ حِراثَةٍ أوْ حَصادٍ.

For these two years the famine has been in the land, and yet there are five years in which there shall neither be plowing nor harvest.

7 ل َكِنَّ اللهَ أرْسَلَنِي قَبلَكُمْ لِكَي يَضْمَنَ بَقاءَ بَقِيَّةٍ مِنْ شَعبِكُمْ، وَلِكَي يُبقِيَكُمْ أحياءَ بِطَرِيقَةٍ مُدهِشَةٍ.

And God sent me before you that you might remain in the earth and that you might be given life by great liberty.

8 ف َلَسْتُمْ أنتُمْ مَنْ أرسَلَنِي إلَى هُناكَ، بَلِ اللهُ. وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَنِي كَأبٍ لِفِرْعَوْنَ، وَسَيِّداً عَلَى أرْضِ مِصْرَ كُلِّها.» يُوسُفُ يدعو أباهُ إلَى مِصر

So now it was not you that sent me here, but God; and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

9 و َقالَ لَهُمْ: «أسْرِعُوا وَاذهَبُوا إلَى أبِيكُمْ. وَقُولُوا لَهُ هَذِهِ رِسالَةٌ مِنَ ابْنِكَ يُوسُفَ: ‹قَدْ جَعَلَنِي اللهُ سَيِّداً عَلَى مِصْرَ كُلِّها. فانزِلْ إلَيَّ، وَلا تَتَأخَّرْ.

Make haste and go up to my father and say unto him: Thus saith thy son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not.

10 س َتَسْكُنُ فِي أرْضِ جاسانَ. وَسَتَكُونُ قَرِيباً مِنِّي، أنتَ وَأبْناؤُكَ وَأحفادُكَ وَقُطعانُ غَنَمِكَ وَبَقَرِكَ وَكُلُّ ما لَدَيكَ.

And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou and thy sons and thy sons’ sons and thy herds and thy cows and all that thou hast.

11 و َسَأعُولُكَ هُناكَ، فَلا تَحتاجَ لا أنتَ وَلا عائِلَتُكَ وَلا الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ إلَى شَيءٍ. فَمازالَتْ هُناكَ خَمْسُ سَنَواتٍ أُخْرَى مِنَ المَجاعَةِ.›

And there I will nourish thee, for yet there are five years of famine, lest thou and thy household and all that thou hast perish of poverty.

12 « وَها أنتُمْ وَأخِي بَنْيامِيْنَ تَرَوْنَ بِأنفُسِكُمْ أنِّي أنا يُوسُفُ.

And, behold, your eyes see and the eyes of my brother Benjamin that it is my mouth that speaks unto you.

13 ف َأخبِرُوا أبِي عَنِ المَكانَةِ الرَّفِيعَةِ الَّتِي نِلْتُها فِي مِصْرَ. وَاحكُوا لَهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ما رَأيتُمْ. ثُمَّ عَجِّلُوا بِإحضارِ أبِي إلَى هُنا.»

And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father here.

14 ث ُمَّ عانَقَ يُوسُفُ أخاهُ بَنْيامِيْنَ وَبَكَى. وَبَكَى بَنْيامِيْنُ أيضاً وَهُوَ يُعانِقُهُ.

And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

15 و َبَعدَ ذَلِكَ قَبَّلَ يُوسُفُ كُلَّ إخْوَتِهِ وَبَكَى وَهُوَ يُعانِقُهُمْ. حِينَئِذٍ، بَدَأُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ مَعَهُ.

Moreover he kissed all his brethren and wept upon them, and after that his brethren talked with him.

16 و َوَصَلَتِ الأخبارُ إلَى قَصْرِ فِرعَوْنَ. وَعَلِمَ أنَّ إخْوَةَ يُوسُفَ قَدْ جاءُوا. فَفَرِحَ فِرعَوْنُ وَوُزَراؤُهُ.

¶ And the fame of this was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren have come; and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his slaves.

17 و َقالَ فِرعَوْنُ لِيُوسُفَ: «قُلْ لإخوَتِكَ: ‹افعَلُوا هَذا: حَمِّلُوا حَمِيرَكُمْ بِالطَّعامِ وَاذْهَبُوا إلَى أرْضِ كَنْعانَ.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, Do this: lade your beasts and go, return unto the land of Canaan

18 ث ُمَّ أحضِرُوا أباكُمْ وَعائِلاتِكُمْ وَتَعالَوا عِندِي. وَسَأُعطِيكُمْ أفضَلَ أرْضٍ فِي مِصْرَ. وَسَتَأْكُلُونَ أجوَدَ طَعامٍ فِي البِلادِ.›

and take your father and your households and come unto me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

19 و َمُرْهُمْ: ‹افعَلُوا هَذا: خُذُوا عَرَباتٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ مِصْرَ لِأبْنائِكُمْ وَلِزَوْجاتِكُمْ وَأحضِرُوا أباكُمْ وَارجِعُوا.

Now thou art commanded, do this: take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives and bring your father and come.

20 و َلا تَأسَفُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ حاجِياتِكُمْ خَلْفَكُمْ. إذْ سَيَكُونُ أفضَلَ ما فِي أرْضِ مِصْرَ لَكُمْ.›»

Also regard not your stuff, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

21 و َهَكَذا فَعَلَ أولادُ إسْرائِيلَ. وَأعطاهُمْ يُوسُفُ عَرَباتٍ كَما أمَرَ فِرعَوْنُ. وَأعطاهُمْ طَعاماً لِلطَّرِيقِ أيضاً.

And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the way.

22 و َأعطَى لِكُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ ثَوْباً جَدِيداً. وَأمّا بَنْيامِيْنُ فَأعطاهُ ثَلاثَ مِئَةِ قِطعَةٍ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ وَخَمْسَةَ أثْوابٍ جَدِيدَةٍ.

To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.

23 و َأرْسَلَ لِأبِيهِ ما يَلِي: عَشْرَةَ حَمِيرٍ مُحَمَّلَةً بِخَيراتِ مِصْرَ، وَعَشَرَ أُتُنٍ مُحَمَّلَةً بِالقَمْحِ وَالخُبْزِ وَالطَّعامِ لِرِحلَةِ أبِيهِ.

And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the best of Egypt and ten she asses laden with wheat and bread and food for his father on the way.

24 ف َوَدَّعَ يُوسُفُ إخْوَتَهُ، فانطَلَقُوا. وَقالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «لا تَتَشاجَرُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ.»

So he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said unto them, See that ye do not fight along the way.

25 ف َصَعِدُوا مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَذَهَبُوا إلَى بَيتِ أبِيهِمْ يَعقُوبَ فِي أرْضِ كَنْعانَ.

¶ And they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob, their father,

26 و َقالُوا لَهُ: «ما زالَ يُوسُفُ حَيّاً، وَهُوَ يَحكُمُ أرْضَ مِصْرَ كُلَّها.» فَصُعِقَ أبوهُمْ، إذْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ!

and told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is lord over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.

27 ف َأخبَرُوهُ كُلَّ ما قالَهُ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ. ثُمَّ رَأى يَعقُوبُ العَرَباتِ الَّتِي أرْسَلَها يُوسُفُ لِتَحمِلَهُ إلَى مِصْرَ. فانتَعَشَ يَعقُوبُ.

And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived:

28 ث ُمَّ قالَ إسْرائِيلُ: «يَكفِي ما قُلْتُمْ. أنا أُصَدِّقُ الآنَ أنَّ ابْنِي يُوسُفَ مازالَ حَيّاً. سَأذْهَبُ وَأراهُ قَبلَ أنْ أمُوتَ.»

Then Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.
