¹Tedaj se Jožef ni mogel več premagovati vpričo vseh, ki so stali okrog njega, in zavpije: Dejte, da gredó vsi ven od mene! In nihče ni ostal pri njem, ko se je Jožef dal spoznati bratom svojim.

¹And 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,

²Tedaj zažene glas svoj z jokom, tako da so slišali Egipčani, slišala je tudi hiša Faraonova.

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

³In Jožef reče bratom svojim: Jaz sem Jožef! Ali še živi oče moj? A niso mu mogli odgovoriti bratje njegovi, ker zbegani so bili pred obličjem njegovim.

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

⁴Zato reče Jožef bratom svojim: Pristopite sem k meni! In pristopijo. Nato reče: Jaz sem Jožef, brat vaš, ki ste ga prodali v Egipt.

⁴And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `Come nigh unto me, I pray you,` and they come nigh; and he saith, `I [am] Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt;

⁵Ali sedaj se ne žalite in ne jezite se sami nad seboj, da ste me prodali sem: zakaj Bog me je poslal pred vami, da ohrani življenje.

⁵and 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.

⁶Že je namreč dve leti lakota v deželi; še je pa pet let, v katerih ne bo oratve, ne žetve.

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

⁷Toda Bog me je poslal pred vami, da vam zavaruje ostanek na zemlji in vas ohrani v življenju za veliko rešitev.

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

⁸Tako torej, nikakor me niste vi poslali sem, temuč Bog, ki me je postavil za očeta Faraonu in za gospodarja vsej hiši njegovi ter za oblastnika vsej deželi Egiptovski.

⁸and 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.

⁹Hitite in pojdite gori k očetu mojemu ter mu recite: Tako pravi sin tvoj Jožef: Postavil me je Bog za gospoda vsemu Egiptu; pridi doli k meni, ne odlašaj!

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,

¹⁰In boš prebival v deželi Gosenski, in blizu mi bodeš ti in sinovi tvoji in sinov tvojih sinovi in črede tvoje in goveda tvoja in vse, kar imaš.

¹⁰and 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,

¹¹In živil te bom tam, ker še pet let bode lakota, da ne obubožaš ti in rodbina tvoja in vse, kar imaš.

¹¹and I have nourished thee there — for yet [are] five years of famine — lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.

¹²Glejte pa, oči vaše vidijo in oči brata mojega Benjamina, da usta moja so, ki z vami govore.

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

¹³Sporočite torej očetu mojemu vso slavo mojo v Egiptu in karkoli ste videli, in hitro pripeljite sem mojega očeta.

¹³and 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.`

¹⁴Nato se oklene vratu brata svojega Benjamina in se zjoka, tudi Benjamin je jokal ob vratu njegovem.

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

¹⁵In poljubi vse brate svoje in joka ob njih vratu. Potem šele izpregovore bratje njegovi ž njim.

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

¹⁶In ko se je zaslišal ta glas v hiši Faraonovi, govoreč: Prišli so bratje Jožefovi, je bilo všeč Faraonu in služabnikom njegovim.

¹⁶And 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,

¹⁷In Faraon veli Jožefu: Reci bratom svojim: To storite: obložite živino svojo in odpotujte, in ko pridete v deželo Kanaansko,

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

¹⁸vzemite očeta svojega in rodbine svoje, ter vrnite se k meni; in dati vam hočem, kar je najboljšega v deželi Egiptovski, in uživali boste tolščobo zemlje.

¹⁸and 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.

¹⁹Ti pa imaš ukaz: To storite: vzemite si iz dežele Egiptovske voz za otročiče svoje in za žene svoje ter naložite očeta svojega, in vrnite se.

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;

²⁰Oko vaše pa naj se ne žali za pohištvo vaše, kajti kar je najboljšega v vsej deželi Egiptovski, vaše je.

²⁰and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.`

²¹In sinovi Izraelovi so storili tako; in dal jim je Jožef voz po ukazu Faraonovem, dal jim tudi brašna na pot.

²¹And 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;

²²In dal jim je vsakemu posebe praznično obleko, Benjaminu pa je dal tristo srebrnikov in petero prazničnih oblek.

²²to 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;

²³Očetu pa svojemu pošlje to: deset oslov, nesočih od najboljših stvari v Egiptu, in deset oslic, nesočih žita in kruha in jedil, očetu svojemu na pot.

²³and 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.

²⁴In odpusti brate svoje, in ko so odhajali, jim veli: Ne prepirajte se po poti!

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

²⁵Tako so šli gori iz Egipta, in pridejo v deželo Kanaansko k Jakobu, očetu svojemu.

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

²⁶In so mu poročali, govoreč: Jožef še živi in je oblastnik čez vso deželo Egiptovsko. A srce mu ostane mrzlo, ker jim ni verjel.

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

²⁷In povedali so mu vse besede Jožefove, ki jim jih je bil govoril, in ko je videl vozove, ki jih je poslal Jožef, da bi ga pripeljali, je oživel duh Jakoba, njih očeta;in Izrael reče: Dovolj mi je! še živi Jožef, sin moj; pojdem in videl ga bom, preden umrjem.

²⁷And 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;

²⁸in Izrael reče: Dovolj mi je! še živi Jožef, sin moj; pojdem in videl ga bom, preden umrjem.

²⁸and Israel saith, `Enough! Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.`
