Yusuf aka–ukalariga oʻzini tanitadi
1 Endi Yusuf ortiq chidab tura olmadi. U xizmatkorlariga: “Hamma huzurimdan chiqsin!” deb buyurdi. Yusuf oʻzini aka–ukalariga tanitganda, huzurida hech kim qolmagan edi. 2 U shunday qattiq yigʻladiki, xonadonidagi Misrliklar eshitdi. Bu yangilik tezda firʼavnning saroyiga yetib bordi.
3 — Men Yusufman! — dedi u aka–ukalariga. — Otam hali ham hayot ekan–da?
Lekin aka–ukalar Yusufning qarshisida dahshatga tushib, javob berishga tillari ojiz edi.
4 — Menga yaqinroq kelinglar! — dedi Yusuf. Aka–ukalari unga yaqinroq borishdi.
— Men Yusufman! — dedi u yana, — sizlar Misrga sotgan ukangizman! 5 Meni bu yerga sotganingizdan gʻam chekmanglar, oʻzlaringizdan xafa ham boʻlmanglar. Xudo shunday qildi. Xudo insonlar hayotini saqlab qolish uchun sizlardan oldin meni bu yerga joʻnatgan ekan. 6 Ikki yildirki, yurtda qahatchilik. Yana besh yil bu yurtda na yer haydaladi, na hosil boʻladi. 7 Xudo ana shunday gʻaroyib yoʻl bilan sizlarni va naslingizni qutqarib, omon qoldirish uchun sizlardan oldin meni yubordi. 8 Ha, meni bu yerga sizlar emas, Xudo yuborgan! Xudo meni firʼavnga maslahatchi, uning butun xonadoniga xoʻjayin, Misr yurti ustidan hokim qildi. 9 Tez boʻlinglar, otamning oldiga qaytib borib, unga shunday deb aytinglar: “Oʻgʻlingiz Yusufni Xudo butun Misr ustidan hokim qilibdi. Kechiktirmay yoʻlga otlaning. 10 Siz Goʻshen yerlariga oʻrnashar ekansiz. Oʻzingiz, bolalaringiz, nabiralaringiz, qoʻy–echkilaringiz, podalaringiz — hamma mol–mulkingiz bilan birga Yusufga yaqin joyda boʻlasiz. 11 Sizga Yusuf qarab turar ekan. Hali oldimizda besh yil qahatchilik turibdi. Oʻzingiz ham, xonadoningiz ham och qolmas ekan, chorvangiz ham och qolmas ekan.” 12 Oʻzlaringiz koʻrib turibsizlar, ukam Benyamin, sen ham koʻrib turibsan, sizlarga bu gaplarni aytayotgan men Yusufman. 13 Misrda men qanchalik shon–shuhratga erishganimni, oʻz koʻzlaringiz bilan koʻrganingizni otamga aytinglar. Otamni tezlik bilan mening oldimga olib kelinglar.
14 Yusuf ukasi Benyaminni quchoqlab, boʻyniga osilib, xursandligidan yigʻlar, Benyamin ham yigʻlar edi. 15 Soʻng Yusuf yigʻlaganicha, akalarini birma–bir quchoqlab oʻpdi. Endi akalari Yusuf bilan bemalol gaplasha boshladilar.
16 “Yusufning aka–ukalari kelibdi!” degan xabar tezda firʼavn saroyiga yetib bordi. Firʼavn va uning aʼyonlari gʻoyatda xursand boʻldilar. 17 Firʼavn Yusufga dedi:
— Aka–ukalaringga ayt, yuklarini ulovlariga ortib, Kanʼonga qaytishsin. 18 Otangni, bola–chaqalarini olib, Misrga qaytib kelishsin. Men ularga yurtning eng yaxshi yerlarini beray. Ular bu yerda toʻkin–sochinlikda yashaydilar. 19 Ularga ayt, Misrdan aravalar olib ketishsin. Xotinlarini, bolalarini, otangni oʻsha aravalarda bu yerga olib kelishadi. 20 Qolib ketgan mol–mulklariga achinishmasin. Misrning eng yaxshi noz–neʼmatlari ularnikidir.
21 Yoqubning oʻgʻillari aytilganday qildilar: firʼavnning koʻrsatmasiga binoan, Yusuf ularga aravalar berdi. Shuningdek, ularga yoʻl uchun oziq–ovqat ham gʻamlab berdi. 22 Yusuf akalarining har biriga bir sidradan yangi kiyim–bosh, Benyaminga esa besh sidra kiyim–bosh va uch yuz boʻlak kumush berdi. 23 Otamga deb oʻnta eshakka Misrning eng yaxshi noz–neʼmatlaridan, oʻnta eshakka don, otasi uchun yoʻlda yegani oziq–ovqat yuklab joʻnatdi. 24 Yusuf aka–ukalarini yoʻlga kuzatib qoʻydi. Ular yoʻlga chiqayotganlarida Yusuf: “Yoʻlda janjallashib yurmanglar ”, dedi.
25 Shunday qilib, ular Misrdan Kanʼon yurtiga — otalari huzuriga qaytib keldilar. 26 “Yusuf tirik ekan! U butun Misr yurtining hokimi ekan!” deb aytishdi oʻgʻillari. Yoqub bu yangilikdan hang–mang boʻlib qoldi, oʻgʻillarining gapiga ishonmadi. 27 Lekin oʻgʻillari Yoqubga Yusufning hamma gaplarini aytib boʻlib, “Otamni Misrga olib kelinglar”, deb Yusuf yuborgan aravalarni koʻrganda, Yoqubning ruhi tetiklashdi.
28 — Xudoga shukur, oʻgʻlim Yusuf tirik ekan, menga shuning oʻzi kifoya, — dedi Yoqub, — oʻlmasimdan burun borib uni koʻrib qolay.
1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. 2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. 4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: 10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: 11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither. 14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 ¶ And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; 18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. 19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come. 20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. 22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. 23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way. 24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 ¶ And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not. 27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: 28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
