1 A nd Joseph hath not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calleth, `Put out every man from me;' and no man hath stood with him when Joseph maketh himself known unto his brethren,

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.

2 a nd he giveth forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh heareth.

He wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard of it.

3 A nd Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I Joseph, is my father yet alive?' and his brethren have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.

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.

4 A nd Joseph saith unto his brethren, `Come nigh unto me, I pray you,' and they come nigh; and he saith, `I Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt;

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.

5 a nd now, be not grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that ye sold me hither, for to preserve life hath God sent me before you.

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

6 ` Because these two years the famine in the heart of the land, and yet five years, which there is neither ploughing nor harvest;

For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

7 a nd God sendeth me before you, to place of you a remnant in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;

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

8 a nd now, ye -- ye have not sent me hither, but God, and He doth set me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9 ` Haste, and go up unto my father, then ye have said to him, Thus said Joseph thy son, God hath set me for lord to all Egypt; come down unto me, stay not,

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.

10 a nd thou hast dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near unto me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, and thy flock, and thy herd, and all that thou hast,

You shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children’s children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.

11 a nd I have nourished thee there -- for yet five years of famine -- lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.

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.”’

12 ` And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that my mouth which is speaking unto you;

Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.

13 a nd ye have declared to my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, and ye have hasted, and have brought down my father hither.'

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.”

14 A nd he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and weepeth, and Benjamin hath wept on his neck;

Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

15 a nd he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him.

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

16 A nd the sound hath been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, `Come have the brethren of Joseph;' and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,

Now when the news was heard in Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.

17 a nd Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye the land of Canaan,

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

18 a nd take your father, and your households, and come unto me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.

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 will eat the fat of the land.’

19 ` Yea, thou -- thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought your father, and come;

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.

20 a nd your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt yours.'

Do not concern yourselves with your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21 A nd the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision for the way;

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.

22 t o all of them hath he given -- to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred silverlings, and five changes of garments;

To each of them he gave changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

23 a nd to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and bread, even food for his father for the way.

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.

24 A nd he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, `Be not angry in the way.'

So he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the journey.”

25 A nd they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,

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

26 a nd they declare to him, saying, `Joseph yet alive,' and that he ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them.

They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But he was stunned, for he did not believe them.

27 A nd they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob their father;

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.

28 a nd Israel saith, `Enough! Joseph my son yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'

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