Joseph reconnu par ses frères

45 Joseph ne pouvait plus se contenir devant tous ceux qui l’entouraient. Il s’écria: Faites sortir tout le monde. Et il ne resta personne avec Joseph, quand il se fit connaître à ses frères. 2 Il éleva la voix, en pleurant. Les Egyptiens l’entendirent, et la maison de Pharaon l’entendit. 3 Joseph dit à ses frères: Je suis Joseph! Mon père vit-il encore? Mais ses frères ne purent lui répondre, car ils étaient troublés en sa présence. 4 Joseph dit à ses frères: Approchez-vous de moi. Et ils s’approchèrent. Il dit: Je suis Joseph, votre frère, que vous avez vendu pour être mené en Egypte. 5 Maintenant, ne vous affligez pas, et ne soyez pas fâchés de m’avoir vendu pour être conduit ici, car c’est pour vous sauver la vie que Dieu m’a envoyé devant vous. 6 Voilà deux ans que la famine est dans le pays; et pendant cinq années encore, il n’y aura ni labour, ni moisson. 7 Dieu m’a envoyé devant vous pour vous faire subsister dans le pays, et pour vous faire vivre par une grande délivrance. 8 Ce n’est donc pas vous qui m’avez envoyé ici, mais c’est Dieu; il m’a établi père[a] de Pharaon, maître de toute sa maison, et gouverneur de tout le pays d’Egypte. 9 Hâtez-vous de remonter auprès de mon père, et vous lui direz: Ainsi a parlé ton fils Joseph: Dieu m’a établi seigneur de toute l’Egypte; descends vers moi, ne tarde pas! 10 Tu habiteras dans le pays de Gosen[b], et tu seras près de moi, toi, tes fils, et les fils de tes fils, tes brebis et tes bœufs, et tout ce qui est à toi. 11 Là, je te nourrirai, car il y aura encore cinq années de famine; et ainsi tu ne périras point, toi, ta maison, et tout ce qui est à toi. 12 Vous voyez de vos yeux, et mon frère Benjamin voit de ses yeux que c’est moi-même qui vous parle. 13 Racontez à mon père toute ma gloire en Egypte, et tout ce que vous avez vu; et vous ferez descendre ici mon père au plus tôt.

14 Il se jeta au cou de Benjamin, son frère, et pleura; et Benjamin pleura sur son cou. 15 Il embrassa aussi tous ses frères, en pleurant. Après quoi, ses frères s’entretinrent avec lui.

16 Le bruit se répandit dans la maison de Pharaon que les frères de Joseph étaient arrivés: ce qui fut agréable à Pharaon et à ses serviteurs. 17 Pharaon dit à Joseph: Dis à tes frères: Faites ceci. Chargez vos bêtes, et partez pour le pays de Canaan; 18 prenez votre père et vos familles, et venez auprès de moi. Je vous donnerai ce qu’il y a de meilleur au pays d’Egypte, et vous mangerez la graisse du pays. 19 Tu as ordre de leur dire: Faites ceci. Prenez dans le pays d’Egypte des chars pour vos enfants et pour vos femmes; amenez votre père, et venez. 20 Ne regrettez point ce que vous laisserez, car ce qu’il y a de meilleur dans tout le pays d’Egypte sera pour vous.

21 Les fils d’Israël firent ainsi. Joseph leur donna des chars, selon l’ordre de Pharaon; il leur donna aussi des provisions pour la route. 22 Il leur donna à tous des vêtements de rechange, et il donna à Benjamin trois cents sicles d’argent et cinq vêtements de rechange. 23 Il envoya à son père dix ânes chargés de ce qu’il y avait de meilleur en Egypte, et dix ânesses chargées de blé, de pain et de vivres, pour son père pendant le voyage. 24 Puis il congédia ses frères, qui partirent; et il leur dit: Ne vous querellez pas en chemin.

25 Ils remontèrent de l’Egypte, et ils arrivèrent dans le pays de Canaan, auprès de Jacob, leur père. 26 Ils lui dirent: Joseph vit encore, et même c’est lui qui gouverne tout le pays d’Egypte. Mais le cœur de Jacob resta froid, parce qu’il ne les croyait pas. 27 Ils lui rapportèrent toutes les paroles que Joseph leur avait dites. Il vit les chars que Joseph avait envoyés pour le transporter. C’est alors que l’esprit de Jacob, leur père, se ranima; 28 et Israël dit: C’est assez! Joseph, mon fils, vit encore! J’irai, et je le verrai avant que je meure.

Joseph Revealed to His Brothers

45 Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, “Make everyone go out from me!” So no one stood with him (A)while Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he (B)wept aloud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it.

3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, (C)“I am Joseph; does my father still live?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, (D)whom you sold into Egypt. 5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; (E)for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the (F)famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God (G)sent me before you to preserve a [a]posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but (H)God; and He has made me (I)a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a (J)ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

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 [b]tarry. 10 (K)You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have. 11 There I will (L)provide for you, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine.” ’

12 “And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is (M)my mouth that speaks to you. 13 So you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and (N)bring my father down here.”

14 Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 15 Moreover he (O)kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers talked with him.

16 Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” So it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well. 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan. 18 Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat (P)the [c]fat of the land. 19 Now you are commanded—do this: Take carts out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives; bring your father and come. 20 Also do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ”

21 Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them (Q)carts,[d] according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey. 22 He gave to all of them, to each man, (R)changes of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and (S)five changes of garments. 23 And he sent to his father these things: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and food for his father for the journey. 24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, “See that you do not become troubled along the way.”

25 Then they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father. 26 And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.” (T)And Jacob’s heart stood still, because he did not believe them. 27 But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit (U)of Jacob their father revived. 28 Then Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”

Génesis 45
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

José se da a conocer a sus hermanos

45 José ya no pudo contenerse delante de todos los que estaban junto a él, y exclamó: «Hagan salir a todos de mi lado». Y no había[a] nadie con él cuando José se dio a conocer a sus hermanos(A). 2 Lloró tan fuerte[b](B) que lo oyeron los egipcios, y la casa de Faraón se enteró[c] de ello.

3 José dijo a sus hermanos: «Yo soy José(C). ¿Vive todavía mi padre(D)?». Pero sus hermanos no podían contestarle porque estaban atónitos delante de él(E). 4 Y José dijo a sus hermanos: «Acérquense ahora a mí». Y ellos se acercaron, y les dijo: «Yo soy su hermano José, a quien ustedes vendieron a Egipto(F). 5 Ahora pues, no se entristezcan ni les pese[d] el haberme vendido aquí(G). Pues para preservar vidas me envió Dios delante de ustedes(H). 6 Porque en estos dos años ha habido hambre en la tierra(I) y todavía quedan otros cinco años en los cuales no habrá ni siembra[e] ni siega. 7 Dios me envió delante de ustedes para preservarles un remanente en la tierra(J), y para guardarlos con vida mediante una gran liberación[f].

8 »Ahora pues, no fueron ustedes los que me enviaron aquí, sino Dios. Él me ha puesto por padre de Faraón y señor de toda su casa(K) y gobernador sobre toda la tierra de Egipto. 9 Dense prisa y suban adonde mi padre, y díganle: “Así dice tu hijo José: ‘Dios me ha hecho señor de todo Egipto. Ven[g] a mí(L), no te demores.

10 ’Y habitarás en la tierra de Gosén(M), y estarás cerca de mí, tú y tus hijos y los hijos de tus hijos, tus ovejas y tus vacas y todo lo que tienes. 11 Allí proveeré también para ti(N), pues aún quedan cinco años de hambre, para que no caigas en la miseria tú, ni tu casa y todo lo que tienes’”. 12 Y ahora, los ojos de ustedes y los ojos de mi hermano Benjamín ven que es mi boca la que les habla. 13 Notifiquen, pues, a mi padre toda mi gloria en Egipto y todo lo que han visto; dense prisa y traigan[h] aquí a mi padre(O)».

14 Entonces se echó sobre el cuello de su hermano Benjamín, y lloró(P). Y Benjamín también lloró sobre su cuello. 15 Y besó a todos sus hermanos, y lloró sobre ellos. Después sus hermanos hablaron con él.

Invitación de Faraón

16 Cuando se oyó la noticia[i] en la casa de Faraón, de[j] que los hermanos de José habían venido(Q), le agradó a Faraón y a[k] sus siervos. 17 Entonces Faraón dijo a José: «Dile a tus hermanos: “Hagan esto: carguen sus animales y vayan[l] a la tierra de Canaán; 18 y tomen a su padre y a sus familias[m] y vengan a mí y yo les daré lo mejor[n] de la tierra de Egipto, y comerán de la abundancia[o] de la tierra(R)”.

19 »Y a ti se te ordena decirles: “Hagan esto: tomen[p] carretas(S) de la tierra de Egipto para sus pequeños y para sus mujeres, y traigan a su padre y vengan. 20 Y no se preocupen por sus posesiones personales[q], pues lo mejor[r] de toda la tierra de Egipto es de ustedes”».

Regreso a Canaán

21 Y así lo hicieron los israelitas. José les dio carretas conforme a la orden[s] de Faraón(T), y les dio provisiones para el camino. 22 A todos ellos les dio[t] mudas de ropa(U), pero a Benjamín le dio 300 monedas de plata y cinco mudas de ropa(V). 23 Y a su padre le envió lo siguiente[u]: diez asnos cargados de lo mejor[v] de Egipto, y diez asnas cargadas de grano, pan y alimentos para su padre en[w] el camino.

24 Luego despidió a sus hermanos, y cuando se iban les dijo: «No riñan[x] en el camino». 25 Ellos subieron de Egipto y vinieron a la tierra de Canaán, a su padre Jacob. 26 Y le informaron: «José vive todavía y es gobernante en toda la tierra de Egipto». Pero él se quedó atónito[y], porque no les podía creer(W).

27 Pero cuando ellos le contaron todas las cosas[z] que José les había dicho, y cuando vio las carretas que José había enviado para llevarlo(X), el espíritu de su padre Jacob revivió. 28 Entonces Israel dijo: «Basta. Mi hijo José vive todavía. Iré y lo veré antes que yo muera».

Joseph Makes Himself Known

45 Then Joseph could no longer control himself(A) before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Have everyone leave my presence!”(B) So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept(C) so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.(D)

3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?”(E) But his brothers were not able to answer him,(F) because they were terrified at his presence.(G)

4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.”(H) When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!(I) 5 And now, do not be distressed(J) and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here,(K) because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.(L) 6 For two years now there has been famine(M) in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. 7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant(N) on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.[a](O)

8 “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God.(P) He made me father(Q) to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.(R) 9 Now hurry(S) back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don’t delay.(T) 10 You shall live in the region of Goshen(U) and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have.(V) 11 I will provide for you there,(W) because five years of famine(X) are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’(Y)

12 “You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin,(Z) that it is really I who am speaking to you.(AA) 13 Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt(AB) and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.(AC)”

14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin(AD) embraced him,(AE) weeping. 15 And he kissed(AF) all his brothers and wept over them.(AG) Afterward his brothers talked with him.(AH)

16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace that Joseph’s brothers had come,(AI) Pharaoh and all his officials(AJ) were pleased.(AK) 17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals(AL) and return to the land of Canaan,(AM) 18 and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt(AN) and you can enjoy the fat of the land.’(AO)

19 “You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts(AP) from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come. 20 Never mind about your belongings,(AQ) because the best of all Egypt(AR) will be yours.’”

21 So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts,(AS) as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.(AT) 22 To each of them he gave new clothing,(AU) but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[b] of silver and five sets of clothes.(AV) 23 And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys(AW) loaded with the best things(AX) of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.(AY) 24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, “Don’t quarrel on the way!”(AZ)

25 So they went up out of Egypt(BA) and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.(BB) 26 They told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.”(BC) Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.(BD) 27 But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts(BE) Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 And Israel said, “I’m convinced!(BF) My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”(BG)
