1約瑟向他的兄弟表明身分約瑟在所有侍立在他左右的人面前，不能自制，就喊叫說：“叫各人都離開我出去。”這樣，約瑟向他的兄弟們表白自己身分的時候，沒有別人在場。
1Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2於是他放聲大哭，埃及人聽到了；法老一家也聽聞這事。
2He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3約瑟對他的兄弟們說：“我就是約瑟，我的父親還在嗎？”他的兄弟們不能回答他，因為他們在約瑟面前都非常驚惶。
3Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
4約瑟對他的兄弟們說：“請你們上前來。”他們就上前去。他說：“我就是被你們賣到埃及的弟弟約瑟。
4Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. “He said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5現在你們不要因為把我賣到這裡來，而自憂自責。這原是 神差派我在你們以先來這裡，為要保全性命。
5Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6現在這地的饑荒已經有兩年了，還有五年不能耕種，也沒有收成。
6For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 神差派我在你們以先來這裡，為要給你們在地上留下餘種，大大施行拯救，保全你們的性命。
7God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8這樣看來，差派我到這裡來的，不是你們，而是 神。他立我作法老之父，作他全家之主，又作全埃及地的首相。
8So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9你們要趕快上到我父親那裡去，對他說：‘你的兒子約瑟這樣說： 神立我作了全埃及的主；請你下到我這裡來，不要耽延。
9Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.
10你和你的眾兒孫、牛羊，以及你一切所有的，都可以住在歌珊地，與我相近。
10You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
11我要在那裡供養你，因為還有五年的饑荒，免得你和你的家人，以及你一切所有的，都陷入窮困裡。’
11There I will nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
12看哪，你們和我弟弟便雅憫都親眼看見，是我親口對你們說話。
12Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13你們也要把我在埃及的一切尊榮，和你們所看見的一切，都告訴我的父親，又要趕快把我的父親接到這裡來。”
13You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
14於是，約瑟伏在他弟弟便雅憫的頸項上，哭起來了；便雅憫也伏在約瑟的頸項上哭。
14He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15他又與眾兄弟親嘴，擁抱著他們哭。然後，他的兄弟們就跟他說話。
15He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
16法老命約瑟迎接父親消息傳到法老的家裡，說：“約瑟的兄弟們來了。”法老和他的臣僕都很高興。
16The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17法老對約瑟說：“你要對你的兄弟們說：‘你們要這樣作：使你們的牲口載滿貨物，起程到迦南地去，
17Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this. Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
18把你們的父親和家人都接到我這裡來；我要把埃及地美好的產物賜給你們，你們也可以吃這地肥美的食物。’
18Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
19現在我再吩咐你對他們說：‘你們要這樣作：從埃及地帶些車輛回去，用來接你們的孩子和妻子，並且把你們的父親接來。
19Now you are 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不要顧惜你們的家具，因為埃及全地美好的產物都是你們的。’”
20Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all of the land of Egypt is yours.”
21以色列的兒子們就照樣作了。約瑟照著法老所吩咐的，給了他們一些車輛和路上用的食物。
21The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22又給了他們各人一套新衣服，但是給便雅憫三千四百二十克銀子和五套衣服。
22He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
23約瑟送去給他父親的，有公驢十頭，載著埃及美好的產物，以及母驢十頭，載著五穀、餅和給他父親在路上用的食物。
23He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
24於是，約瑟打發他的兄弟們回去，他們走的時候，約瑟對他們說：“你們在路上不要爭吵。”
24So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”
25兄弟回家迎接父親他們離開埃及，上到迦南地他們父親雅各那裡去，
25They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
26告訴他，說：“約瑟還在，並且作了埃及全地的首相。”雅各的心冷淡麻木，因為他不相信他們。
26They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.
27他們就把約瑟對他們所說的一切話，都告訴了他。他們的父親雅各看見了約瑟派來接他的車輛，心才甦醒過來。
27They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
28以色列說：“夠了！約瑟我的兒子還在；在我還沒有死以前，我要去看看他。”
28Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
