1 Joseph could contain himself no longer, and there were many standing by. So he gave orders that all these should leave his presence; there must be no strangers to see it, when he made himself known. 2 But when he spoke, he burst into such a fit of weeping that these Egyptians, and all Pharao’s household, could not but hear it. 3 I am Joseph, said he to his brethren; is my father yet alive? But his brethren were so overcome with fear that they could not answer him, 4 and he must needs use gentleness; Come closer, he said, and then, when they had drawn close to him, I am Joseph, that brother of yours whom you sent away to be sold as a slave in Egypt. 5 And now, do not take it to heart; waste no regrets over the bargain that brought me here; if I came to Egypt first, it was on God’s errand, to be your protector. 6 It is two years now since famine came to these parts, and there will be no ploughing, no reaping harvests, for five years more; 7 so God would have me here in readiness to preserve your race, by giving you food to live on. 8 It was not your design, then, it was God’s will that sent me here; he it is that has put Pharao himself under my tutelage, made me regent of all his domains, with the whole of Egypt under my care.

1 Non se poterat ultra cohibere Joseph multis coram astantibus: unde præcepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras, et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuæ. 2 Elevavitque vocem cum fletu, quam audierunt Ægyptii, omnisque domus Pharaonis. 3 Et dixit fratribus suis: Ego sum Joseph: adhuc pater meus vivit? Non poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti. 4 Ad quos ille clementer: Accedite, inquit, ad me. Et cum accessissent prope: Ego sum, ait, Joseph, frater vester, quem vendidistis in Ægyptum. 5 Nolite pavere, neque vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus: pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in Ægyptum. 6 Biennium est enim quod cœpit fames esse in terra: et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit, nec meti. 7 Præmisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram, et escas ad vivendum habere possitis. 8 Non vestro consilio, sed Dei voluntate huc missum sum: qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis, et dominum universæ domus ejus, ac principem in omni terra Ægypti.

9 Make haste, go back to my father and give him this message from his son Joseph: God has made me ruler of all Egypt; make thy way here with all speed. 10 Thou shalt have the land of Gessen for thy dwelling-place, so that thou canst live close to me, with thy children and thy grandchildren, thy sheep and cattle and all that is thine. 11 And there, since there are still five years of famine to come, I will maintain thee and keep thee from starving, with that household of thine and all thou hast. 12 You and my brother Benjamin here can assure him from the witness of your own eyes, that it was Joseph who spoke to you. 13 Tell my father of all these honours I enjoy, and of all you saw in Egypt, and bring him back to me here with all speed.

9 Festinate, et ascendite ad patrem meum, et dicetis ei: Hæc mandat filius tuus Joseph: Deus fecit me dominum universæ terræ Ægypti: descende ad me, ne moreris, 10 et habitabis in terra Gessen: erisque juxta me tu, et filii tui, et filii filiorum tuorum, oves tuæ, et armenta tua, et universa quæ possides: 11 ibique te pascam (adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis) ne et tu pereas, et domus tua, et omnia quæ possides. 12 En oculi vestri, et oculi fratris mei Benjamin, vident quod os meum loquatur ad vos. 13 Nuntiate patri meo universam gloriam meam, et cuncta quæ vidistis in Ægypto: festinate, et adducite eum ad me.

14 With that, he threw his arms round Benjamin’s neck, in tears; Benjamin, too, wept as he clung to him. 15 Then Joseph kissed all his brethren in turn, and wept over them, till at last they found courage to speak to him. 16 And now the news was in everybody’s mouth, and all Pharao’s court heard that Joseph’s brethren were there. Pharao rejoiced heartily over it, and all his courtiers with him; 17 and these were the orders he would have Joseph give to his brethren, Pack your beasts, and go back to Chanaan, 18 bring your father here, and all your family, to share the blessings of Egypt with me, and live on the best the land can give. 19 And they might borrow waggons from Egypt, to carry their wives and children back. Take your father with you (he was to tell them) and make haste over your return; 20 and leave none of your farm stock behind you;[1] all the wealth of Egypt awaits you here.

14 Cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Benjamin fratris sui, flevit: illo quoque similiter flente super collum ejus. 15 Osculatusque est Joseph omnes fratres suos, et ploravit super singulos: post quæ ausi sunt loqui ad eum. 16 Auditumque est, et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis: Venerunt fratres Joseph: et gavisus est Pharao, atque omnis familia ejus. 17 Dixitque ad Joseph ut imperaret fratribus suis, dicens: Onerantes jumenta, ite in terram Chanaan, 18 et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem, et venite ad me: et ego dabo vobis omnia bona Ægypti, ut comedatis medullam terræ. 19 Præcipe etiam ut tollant plaustra de terra Ægypti, ad subvectionem parvulorum suorum ac conjugum: et dicito: Tollite patrem vestrum, et properate quantocius venientes. 20 Nec dimittatis quidquam de supellectili vestra: quia omnes opes Ægypti vestræ erunt.

21 The sons of Israel did as they were bidden; Joseph providing them with waggons at Pharao’s command, and with food for the journey. 22 He also had two new garments brought out for each, and gave Benjamin three hundred silver pieces and five new garments of the choicest sort; 23 sending his father a like gift in both kinds, as well as ten asses laden with the best merchandise of Egypt, and ten she-asses with corn and bread to last him over his travels. 24 Thus he sent his brethren home, and his last word, as they set out, was Be sure there is no quarrelling on the way. 25 So they left Egypt, and when they reached their father Jacob in Chanaan, 26 they gave him their news, Thy son Joseph is still alive, and it is he that rules the whole land of Egypt. Jacob heard it, with the look of one just awoken from a heavy sleep, but at first he would not believe them, 27 and they must tell him the whole story from first to last. Then, when he had seen for himself the waggons and all the gifts, he could breathe again. 28 If my son Joseph, he said, is still alive, that is all I ask; I will go with you, and have sight of him again before I die.

21 Feceruntque filii Israël ut eis mandatum fuerat. Quibus dedit Joseph plaustra, secundum Pharaonis imperium, et cibaria in itinere. 22 Singulis quoque proferri jussit binas stolas: Benjamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque stolis optimis: 23 tantumdem pecuniæ et vestium mittens patri suo, addens et asinos decem, qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis Ægypti, et totidem asinas, triticum in itinere, panesque portantes. 24 Dimisit ergo fratres suos, et proficiscentibus ait: Ne irascamini in via. 25 Qui ascendentes ex Ægypto, venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Jacob. 26 Et nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes: Joseph filius tuus vivit: et ipse dominatur in omni terra Ægypti. Quo audito Jacob, quasi de gravi somno evigilans, tamen non credebat eis. 27 Illi e contra referebant omnem ordinem rei. Cumque vidisset plaustra et universa quæ miserat, revixit spiritus ejus, 28 et ait: Sufficit mihi si adhuc Joseph filius meus vivit: vadam, et videbo illum antequam moriar.
