WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me!” So none of them were with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.

1 NO podía ya José contenerse delante de todos los que estaban al lado suyo, y clamó: Haced salir de conmigo á todos. Y no quedó nadie con él, al darse á conocer José á sus hermanos.

1 Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

2 But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.

2 Entonces se dió á llorar á voz en grito; y oyeron los Egipcios, y oyó también la casa de Faraón.

2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.

3 Y dijo José á sus hermanos: Yo soy José: ¿vive aún mi padre? Y sus hermanos no pudieron responderle, porque estaban turbados delante de él.

3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.

4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!

4 Entonces dijo José á sus hermanos: Llegaos ahora á mí. Y ellos se llegaron. Y él dijo: Yo soy José vuestro hermano el que vendisteis para Egipto.

4 Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

5 And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.

5 Ahora pues, no os entristezcáis, ni os pese de haberme vendido acá; que para preservación de vida me envió Dios delante de vosotros:

5 Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

6 For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.

6 Que ya ha habido dos años de hambre en medio de la tierra, y aun quedan cinco años en que ni habrá arada ni siega.

6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.

7 God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

7 Y Dios me envió delante de vosotros, para que vosotros quedaseis en la tierra, y para daros vida por medio de grande salvamento.

7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

8 Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

8 Así pues, no me enviasteis vosotros acá, sino Dios, que me ha puesto por padre de Faraón, y por señor de toda su casa, y por gobernador en toda la tierra de Egipto.

8 So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9 Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.

9 Daos priesa, id á mi padre y decidle: Así dice tu hijo José: Dios me ha puesto por señor de todo Egipto; ven á mí, no te detengas:

9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.

10 You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.

10 Y habitarás en la tierra de Gosén, y estarás cerca de mí, tú y tus hijos, y los hijos de tus hijos, tus ganados y tus vacas, y todo lo que tienes.

10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.

11 And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’

11 Y allí te alimentaré, pues aun quedan cinco años de hambre, porque no perezcas de pobreza tú y tu casa, y todo lo que tienes:

11 There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’

12 Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.

12 Y he aquí, vuestros ojos ven, y los ojos de mi hermano Benjamín, que mi boca os habla.

12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

13 Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”

13 Haréis pues saber á mi padre toda mi gloria en Egipto, y todo lo que habéis visto: y daos priesa, y traed á mi padre acá.

13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”

14 Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.

14 Y echóse sobre el cuello de Benjamín su hermano, y lloró; y también Benjamín lloró sobre su cuello.

14 He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

15 Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.

15 Y besó á todos sus hermanos, y lloró sobre ellos: y después sus hermanos hablaron con él.

15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.

16 Y oyóse la noticia en la casa de Faraón, diciendo: Los hermanos de José han venido. Y plugo en los ojos de Faraón y de sus siervos.

16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.

17 Y dijo Faraón á José: Di á tus hermanos: Haced esto: cargad vuestras bestias, é id, volved á la tierra de Canaán;

17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.

18 Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’

18 Y tomad á vuestro padre y vuestras familias, y venid á mí, que yo os daré lo bueno de la tierra de Egipto y comeréis la grosura de la tierra.

18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’

19 You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.

19 Y tú manda: Haced esto: tomaos de la tierra de Egipto carros para vuestros niños y vuestras mujeres; y tomad á vuestro padre, y venid.

19 Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20 But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

20 Y no se os dé nada de vuestras alhajas, porque el bien de la tierra de Egipto será vuestro.

20 Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”

21 So the sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.

21 E hiciéronlo así los hijos de Israel: y dióles José carros conforme á la orden de Faraón, y suministróles víveres para el camino.

21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

22 He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.

22 A cada uno de todos ellos dió mudas de vestidos, y á Benjamín dió trescientas piezas de plata, y cinco mudas de vestidos.

22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.

23 And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.

23 Y á su padre envió esto: diez asnos cargados de lo mejor de Egipto, y diez asnas cargadas de trigo, y pan y comida, para su padre en el camino.

23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.

24 Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”

24 Y despidió á sus hermanos, y fuéronse. Y él les dijo: No riñáis por el camino.

24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”

25 So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

25 Y subieron de Egipto, y llegaron á la tierra de Canaán á Jacob su padre.

25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

26 “Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.

26 Y diéronle las nuevas, diciendo: José vive aún; y él es señor en toda la tierra de Egipto. Y su corazón se desmayó; pues no los creía.

26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.

27 However, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.

27 Y ellos le contaron todas las palabras de José, que él les había hablado; y viendo él los carros que José enviaba para llevarlo, el espíritu de Jacob su padre revivió.

27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.

28 “Enough!” declared Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I will go to see him before I die.”

28 Entonces dijo Israel: Basta; José mi hijo vive todavía: iré, y le veré antes que yo muera.

28 Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
