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)

Giô-sép Tỏ Thật cho Anh Em Ông
45 Bấy giờ Giô-sép không thể kiềm chế cảm xúc của ông trước mặt những người đứng bên ông nữa, ông nói lớn, “Bảo mọi người hãy rời khỏi đây ngay.” Vậy không còn ai ở bên ông khi Giô-sép tỏ cho các anh em của ông biết về ông. 2 Ông bật khóc lớn tiếng đến nỗi người Ai-cập nghe được tiếng khóc của ông và các triều thần của Pha-ra-ôn cũng nghe được việc đó. 3 Bấy giờ Giô-sép nói với các anh em của ông, “Tôi là Giô-sép đây. Cha tôi còn sống không?” Nhưng các anh em ông không thể thốt nên lời, vì họ đều quá ngỡ ngàng trước mặt ông. 4 Giô-sép nói với anh em ông, “Hãy lại gần tôi.” Họ lại gần. Ông nói với họ, “Tôi là Giô-sép, em của các anh, người các anh bán sang Ai-cập. 5 Nhưng bây giờ xin các anh đừng buồn phiền và cũng đừng tự trách mình vì đã bán tôi xuống đây, vì Ðức Chúa Trời đã sai tôi xuống đây trước các anh để bảo tồn mạng sống. 6 Bây giờ nạn đói chỉ mới hoành hành hai năm, còn năm năm nữa sẽ không ai có thể cày cấy hay gặt hái được gì. 7 Ðức Chúa Trời đã sai tôi đến đây trước các anh để bảo tồn dòng dõi các anh trên đất, và cứu mạng sống các anh bằng ơn giải cứu lớn. 8 Nên bây giờ xin hiểu rằng không phải các anh, nhưng chính là Ðức Chúa Trời đã sai tôi xuống đây. Ngài đã lập tôi làm cha của Pha-ra-ôn, làm chúa của cả triều đình người, và làm tể tướng của cả nước Ai-cập. 9 Hãy mau trở về nói với cha tôi rằng, ‘Giô-sép con của cha nói rằng: Ðức Chúa Trời đã lập con làm chúa của cả nước Ai-cập. Mời cha xuống đây với con, xin cha đừng chậm trễ. 10 Cha sẽ định cư tại Gô-sen, và cha sẽ ở gần con. Cha, các con của cha, các cháu của cha, cùng những bầy súc vật của cha, và tất cả những gì cha có. 11 Tại đó con sẽ chu cấp cho cha, để cha, gia đình cha, và tất cả những gì thuộc về cha sẽ không bị hao tổn, vì còn năm năm đói kém nữa.’ 12 Bây giờ chính mắt các anh và mắt của Bên-gia-min em tôi đã thấy chính miệng tôi nói với các anh em. 13 Xin các anh em hãy thuật lại cho cha biết tôi được vẻ vang như thế nào tại Ai-cập, mà tất cả anh em đã thấy. Hãy mau về mang cha xuống đây.”
14 Nói xong ông ôm lấy cổ Bên-gia-min em ông và khóc; Bên-gia-min cũng ôm lấy cổ ông và khóc. 15 Ðoạn ông ôm hôn tất cả các anh ông và khóc. Sau đó các anh em ông trò chuyện với ông.
Pha-ra-ôn Mời Gia-cốp Sang Ai-cập
16 Người ta báo vào cung điện Pha-ra-ôn rằng, “Các anh em của Giô-sép đã đến.” Nghe tin ấy Pha-ra-ôn và triều thần của ông lấy làm hài lòng. 17 Pha-ra-ôn bảo Giô-sép, “Hãy nói với anh em ngươi, ‘Hãy làm điều nầy: Hãy chất đồ lên lưng súc vật các ngươi và trở về Ca-na-an. 18 Hãy đón cha các ngươi và đem tất cả gia đình các ngươi đến đây với ta, để ta sẽ ban cho các ngươi những gì tốt nhất của Ai-cập. Các ngươi sẽ hưởng những màu mỡ của xứ nầy.’ 19 Ngoài ra ta truyền cho ngươi lịnh nầy, ‘Hãy làm điều nầy: Hãy lấy các xe từ xứ Ai-cập đem lên đón các trẻ con và phụ nữ, cùng rước cha ngươi xuống đây. 20 Bảo họ đừng luyến tiếc những của cải họ có, vì tất cả những gì tốt nhất trong nước Ai-cập sẽ thuộc về các ngươi.’”
21 Các con trai của I-sơ-ra-ên làm y như vậy. Theo lịnh của Pha-ra-ôn, Giô-sép cấp cho họ các xe, và ông cũng chu cấp cho họ thực phẩm đi đường. 22 Các anh ông thì ông cho mỗi người một bộ quần áo mới, nhưng riêng Bên-gia-min, ông cho ba trăm miếng bạc và năm bộ quần áo mới. 23 Còn về phần cha ông, ông gởi biếu mười con lừa chở đầy những phẩm vật quý báu của Ai-cập, và mười con lừa cái chở gạo, bánh, và thực phẩm để ông cụ dùng dọc đường. 24 Sau đó ông tiễn các anh em ông lên đường. Khi họ ra đi ông căn dặn, “Xin các anh em đừng cãi nhau dọc đường.”
25 Vậy họ từ xứ Ai-cập đi lên, để về với Gia-cốp cha họ trong xứ Ca-na-an. 26 Họ thưa với ông, “Giô-sép vẫn còn sống và hiện đang làm tể tướng của cả nước Ai-cập.” Tâm thần ông điếng lặng, ông không thể nào tin được những lời họ nói. 27 Nhưng khi họ thuật cho ông những lời của Giô-sép đã nói với họ, và khi ông thấy các xe Giô-sép gởi đến để đón ông, tâm thần của Gia-cốp cha họ hoàn tỉnh. 28 I-sơ-ra-ên nói, “Thôi đủ rồi! Giô-sép con tôi vẫn còn sống. Tôi phải đi thăm nó trước khi qua đời.”

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.”

Joseph Provides for His Brothers and Family
45 Then Joseph could not (A)control himself before all those who stood by him. He cried, “Make everyone go out from me.” So no one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it. 3 And Joseph said to his brothers, (B)“I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.
4 So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they came near. And he said, “I am your brother, Joseph, (C)whom you sold into Egypt. 5 And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, (D)for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are (E)yet five years in which there will be neither (F)plowing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. 8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and (G)ruler over 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 tarry. 10 (H)You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks, your herds, and all that you have. 11 (I)There I will provide for you, for there are yet five years of famine to come, so that you and your household, and all that you have, do not come to poverty.’ 12 And now your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is (J)my mouth that speaks to you. 13 You must tell my father of all my honor in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. Hurry and (K)bring my father down here.” 14 Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them. After that his brothers talked with him.
16 When the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, “Joseph's brothers have come,” it pleased Pharaoh and his servants. 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan, 18 and take your father and your households, and come to me, and (L)I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.’ 19 And you, Joseph, are commanded to say, ‘Do this: take (M)wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 20 Have no concern for[a] your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
21 The sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them (N)wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22 To each and all of them he gave (O)a change of clothes, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[b] of silver and (P)five changes of clothes. 23 To his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey. 24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, (Q)“Do not quarrel on the way.”
25 So they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. 26 And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them. 27 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw (R)the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 And Israel said, “It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
