וְלָא יָכִיל יוֹסֵף לִמְסוֹבְרָא דְלָא לְמִבְכֵּי מִן בִּגְלַל כָּל מִין דְקַיְימִין קֳדָמוֹי וַאֲמַר הַנְפִּיקוּ כָּל אֵינַשׁ מִן קֳדָמַי וְלָא קָם אֵינַשׁ עִמֵיהּ כַּד אִשְׁתְּמוֹדַע יוֹסֵף לְאָחוֹי And Joseph could not endure not to (be able to) weep, on account of all who stood before him. And he said, Let every man go out from me: and no one stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
וַאֲרֵים יַת קָלֵיהּ בִּבְכוּתָא וּשְׁמָעוּ מִצְרָאֵי וּשְׁמַע אֵינַשׁ בֵּית פַּרְעה And he lifted up his voice with weeping; and the Mizraee heard, and a man of the house of Pharoh heard.
וַאֲמַר יוֹסֵף לְאָחוֹי אֲנָא הוּא יוֹסֵף הַעוֹד כְּדוֹן אַבָּא קַיֵים וְלָא יָכִילוּ אָחוֹי לְאַתָבָא לֵיהּ פִּתְגַם אֲרוּם אִתְבְּהִילוּ מִן קֳדָמוֹי And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph ! Is my father yet alive ? But his brothers could not answer him a word; for they were troubled before him.
וַאֲמַר יוֹסֵף לְאָחוֹי קְרִיבוּ בְּבָעוּ לְוָתִי וְחָמוּן גְזֵירַת מְהוּלְתִּי וּקְרִיבוּ וַאֲמַר אֲנָא יוֹסֵף אֲחוּכוֹן דִי זַבִּינְתּוּן יָתִי לְמִצְרָיִם And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near, I pray, and examine me. And they came near. And he said to them, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Mizraim.
וּכְדוּן לָא תִתְנַסְסוּן וְלָא יִתְקוֹף בְּעֵינֵיכוֹן אֲרוּם זַבִּינְתּוּן יָתִי הַלְכָא אֲרוּם לְקַיְימָא יַתְכוֹן שַׁדְרַנִי יְיָ קֳדָמֵיכוֹן Now, therefore, be not grieved, nor consider it a hard thing that you sold me hither; for the Lord sent me hither before you to preserve you.
אֲרוּם דֵין תַּרְתֵּין שְׁנִין כַּפְנָא בְּגוֹ אַרְעָא וְעוֹד חֲמֵשׁ שְׁנִין דְלָא רַדְיַין וְלָא חַצְדִין For these two years hath the famine been in the midst of the land, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest.
וְשַׁדְרַנִי יְיָ קֳדָמֵיכוֹן לְשַׁוָאָה לְכוֹן שִׁיוֹרָא בְּאַרְעָא וּלְקַיְימָא לְכוֹן לְשֵׁיזְבָא רַבָּא But the Lord sent me before you to set you a remnant in the land, and to preserve you by a great deliverance.
וּכְדוֹן לָא אַתּוּן שְׁדַרְתּוּן יָתִי הַלְכָא אֱלָהֵן מִן קֳדָם יְיָ אִסְתַּקֵף פִּתְגָמָא וְשַׁוְיַינִי לְרַב לְפַרְעה וּלְרַב עַל כָּל בֵּיתֵיהּ וְשַׁלִיט בְּכָל אַרְעָא דְמִצְרָיִם And now, it was not you who sent me hither, but it was from before the Lord that the thing was occasioned, that He might set me for a prince unto Pharoh, a chief over his house, and a ruler in all the land of Mizraim.
אוֹחוּ וּסְקוּ לְוַת אַבָּא וְתֵימְרוּן לֵיהּ כִּדְנַן אָמַר בְּרָךְ יוֹסֵף שַׁוְויַינִי יְיָ לְרַב לְכָל מִצְרָאֵי חוֹת לְוָתִי לָא תִתְעַכָּב Make haste, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, The Lord hath set me for a chief over all the Mizraee; come down to me, delay not,
וְתִתֵּיב בְּאַרְעָא דְגשֶׁן וּתְהֵי קָרִיב לְוָתִי אַנְתְּ וּבְנָךְ וּבְנֵי בְנָךְ וְעָנָךְ וְתוֹרָךְ וְכָל דִילָךְ and thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and be near me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' children, thy sheep, thy oxen, and all that thou hast.
וְאֵיזוֹן יָתָךְ תַּמָן אֲרוּם עַד כְּדוֹן חָמֵשׁ שְׁנִין כַּפְנָא דִילְמָא תִתְמַסְכַּן אַנְתְּ וֶאֱנַשׁ בֵּיתָךְ וְכָל דִילָךְ And I will sustain you there, for there are yet five years of famine, lest thou and the men of thy house, and all that thou hast be wasted away.
וְהָא עֵינֵיכוֹן חַמְיָין וְעֵינֵי אָחִי בִּנְיָמִין אֲרוּם פּוּמִי בְּלִישַׁן בֵּית קוּדְשָׁא מְמַלֵל עִמְכוֹן And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that my mouth speaketh with you in the language of the house of holiness.
וּתְחַווּן לְאַבָּא יַת כָּל אִיקַר דְאִית לִי בְּמִצְרַיִם וְיַת כָּל רְבוּתִי דְחַמִיתוּן וְתוֹחְתוּן יַת אַבָּא הַלְכָא And you must show my father all the honour I have in Mizraim, and all my greatness which you see, and hasten my father hither.
וְאִתְרְכִין עַל פְּרִיקַת צַוְורוֹי דְבִנְיָמִין אָחוֹי וּבְכָא דְעָתִיד בֵּית מוּקְדְשָׁא לְמֶהֱוֵי מִתְבְּנֵי בְּחוּלְקֵיהּ דְבִנְיָמִין וְעָתִיד לְמֶחְרוֹב תַּרְתֵּין זִמְנִין וּבִנְיָמִין בָּכָא עַל פְּרִיקַת צַוְורֵיהּ דְיוֹסֵף דְחָמָא מַשְׁכְּנָא דְשִׁילֹה דְעָתִיד לְמֶהֱוֵי בְּחוּלְקֵיהּ דְיוֹסֵף וְעָתִיד לְמֶחֱרָב And he bowed himself upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; because it would be that the house of holiness should be builded in the portion of Benjamin, and be twice destroyed: and Benjamin wept upon Joseph's neck, because he saw that the tabernacle of Shiloh would be in the portion of Joseph and be destroyed.
וּנְשֵׁיק לְכָל אָחוֹי וּבְכָא עֲלֵיהוֹן דְחָמָא דְמִשְׁתַּעַבְּדִין לְבֵינֵי עַמְמַיָא וּמִן בָּתַר כְּדֵין מַלִילוּ אָחוֹי עִמֵיהּ And he kissed all his brethren, and wept over them, because he saw that the sons of his people would be brought into bondage. And afterward his brethren discoursed with him.
וְקָלָא אִשְׁתְּמַע בֵּית מַלְכוּתָא דְפַרְעה לְמֵימַר אָתוֹ אֲחֵי יוֹסֵף וּשְׁפַר פִּתְגָמָא בְּעֵינֵי פַּרְעה וּבְעֵינֵי עַבְדוֹי And a voice was heard in the royal house of Pharoh, saying, The brothers of Joseph are come. And the thing was pleasing in the eyes of Pharoh, and in the eyes of his servants.
וַאֲמַר פַּרְעה לְיוֹסֵף אֵימַר לְאָחָךְ דָא עִיבִידוּ טְעִינוּ יַת בְּעִירְכוֹן וְטַיְילוּ אוֹבִילוּ לְאַרְעָא דִכְנָעַן And he said to Joseph, Tell thy brethren, Do this. Lade your beasts, and go, carry into the land of Kenaan;
וּדְבָרוּ יַת אֲבוּכוֹן וְיַת אֵינַשׁ בָּתֵּיכוֹן וְאַיְיתוּ לְוָתִי וְאֵיתַּן לְכוֹן יַת שְׁפַר אֲרַג אַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם וְתֵיכְלוּן יַת שַׁמְנוּנִיתָא דְאַרְעָא and take your father and the men of your house, and come to me, and I will give you the best of what is desirable in the land of Mizraim, and you shall eat the fat of the land.
וְאַנְתְּ יוֹסֵף מְפַקֵיד בְּאִיקַר אַבָּךְ בְּגִין כֵּן אֵימַר לְאָחָךְ דָא עִיבִידוּ סִיבוּ לְכוֹן מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם סְדָנֵי דְמִינַגְדָן בְּתוֹרְתֵּי לְסוֹבָרָא בְּהוֹן יַת טַפְלֵיכוֹן וְיַת נְשֵׁיכוֹן וְתִיטְלוּן יַת אֲבוּכוֹן וְתֵיתוּן And thou Joseph shalt appoint for the honour of thy father: therefore tell thy brethren, Do this. Take with you from the land of Mizraim waggons drawn by oxen, in which to carry your children and your wives, and bring your father, and come.
וְעֵינֵיכוֹן לָא תֵיחוֹס עַל מָנֵיכוֹן אֲרוּם שְׁפַר אֲרַג כָּל אַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם דִילְכוֹן הוּא And your eyes must not look wistfully on your utensils: for the best of what is desirable in all the land of Mizraim is yours.
וַעֲבָדוּ כֵּן בְּנֵי יִשְרָאֵל וִיהַב לְהוֹם יוֹסֵף סְדָנֵי עַל מֵימְרָא דְפַרְעה וִיהַב לְהוֹן זְוָודִין לְאָרְחָא And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave them waggons according to the word of Pharoh, and he furnished them with provision for the way.
לְכֻלְהוֹן יְהַב לְגַבְרָא אִסְטְלוֹי דִלְבוּשׁ וּלְבִנְיָמִין יְהַב תְּלַת מְאָה סַלְעִין דִכְסַף וַחֲמֵשׁ אִיסְטוֹלֵי דִלְבוּשִׁין And to each of them he gave vestments and apparel; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver, and five vestments for apparel.
וּלְאָבוֹי שָׁדַר דוֹרוֹן כְּדֵין עַשְרָא חֲמָרִין טְעִינִין חַמְרָא וּמִטוּבָא דְמִצְרַיִם וְעֶשֶר אַתְנָן טְעִינָן עִיבּוּר וּלְחֵם וּזְוָודִין לְאָבוֹי לְאָרְחָא And these presents he sent to his father; ten asses laden with wine and the good things of Mizraim, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread, and provisions for his father's journey.
וְשָׁדַר יַת אָחוֹי וְעַיְילוּ וַאֲמַר לְהוֹם לָא תִתְנְצוּן עַל עֵיסַק זַבִּנְתִּי דִלְמָא יִרְגְזוּן בְּכוֹן עָבְרֵי אוֹרְחָא And he dismissed his brothers to go, and said to them, Do not contend about my having been sold, lest you quarrel in passing along the way.
וּסְלִיקוּ מִמִצְרַיִם וְאָתוֹ לְאַרְעָא דִכְנָעַן לְוַת יַעֲקב אֲבוּהוֹן And they went up from Mizraim, and came to the land of Kenaan unto Jakob their father.
וְתַנִיאוּ לֵיהּ לְמֵימָר עַד כְּדוֹן יוֹסֵף קַיֵים וַאֲרוּם הוּא שַׁלִיט בְּכָל אַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם וּפְלֵיג לִבֵּיהּ אֲרוּם לָא הֵימִין לְהוֹם And they declared to him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and is ruler over all the land of Mizraim. But his heart was divided, because he did not believe them.
וּמַלִילוּ עִמֵיהּ יַת כָּל פִּתְגָמֵי יוֹסֵף דְמַלֵיל עִמְהוֹן וַחֲמָא יַת סְדָנַיָיא דְשָׁדַר יוֹסֵף לְמִיטוּל יָתֵיהּ וּשְׁרַת רוּחַ נְבוּאָה דְאִיסְתַּלְקַת מִנֵיהּ בְּעִידַן דְזַבִּינוּ יַת יוֹסֵף וְתָבַת עֲלוֹי יַעֲקב אֲבוּהוֹן And they told him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken to them. And when he saw the waggons which Joseph had sent to bring him, the Spirit of Prophecy which had gone up from him at the time that Joseph was sold, returning, rested upon Jakob their father.
וַאֲמַר יִשְרָאֵל סַגְיָן טַבְוָון עָבַד עִמִי יְיָ שֵׁיזְבַנִי מִן יְדוֹי דְעֵשָו וּמִן יְדוֹי דְלָבָן וּמִן יְדוֹי דִכְנַעֲנָאֵי דִרְדָפוּ בַּתְרַאי וְסַגְיָין נַחֲמָן חָמַת וְסָכִיתִי לְמֶחֱמֵי וּלְדָא לָא סָכִית דְעַד כְּדוֹן יוֹסֵף בְּרִי קַיֵים אִיזֵל כְּדוֹן וְאַחֲמִינֵיהּ קֳדָם דְאֵמִית And Israel said, Many benefits hath the Lord wrought for me; He delivered me from the hand of Esau and from the hand of Laban, and from the hands of the Kenaanites who pursued me; and many consolations have I seen and have expected to see; but this I had not expected, that Joseph my son should yet be alive. I will go now, and behold him before I die.
