וְלָא יְכִיל יוֹסֵף לְאִתְחַסָּנָא לְכֹל דְּקָיְמִין עִלָּו‍ֹהִי וּקְרָא אַפִּיקוּ כָל אֱנַשׁ מֵעִלָּוָי וְלָא קָם אֱנַשׁ עִמֵּיהּ כַּד אִתְיְדַע יוֹסֵף לְוַת אֲחוֹהִי:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yoseif could not contain his emotions in the presence of all who stood before him, and he cried out Let everyone leave my presence. No man remained with him, when Yoseif made himself known to his brothers.

וִיהַב יָת קָלֵיהּ בִּבְכִיתָא וּשְׁמָעוּ מִצְרַיִם וּשְׁמַע אֱנַשׁ בֵּית פַּרְעֹה:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

He wept aloud, and the Egyptians heard about it, and the [people of the] house of Pharaoh [also] heard.

וַאֲמַר יוֹסֵף לַאֲחוֹהִי אֲנָא יוֹסֵף הַעַד כְּעַן אַבָּא קַיָּם וְלָא יָכִילוּ אֲחוֹהִי לַאֲתָבָא יָתֵיהּ פִּתְגָּם אֲרֵי אִתְבְּהִילוּ מִן קֳדָמוֹהִי:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yoseif said to his brothers, I am Yoseif, is my father still alive? His brothers could not answer [a word to] him for they were shocked at his presence.

וַאֲמַר יוֹסֵף לַאֲחוֹהִי קְרִיבוּ כְעַן לְוָתִי וּקְרִיבוּ וַאֲמַר אֲנָא יוֹסֵף אֲחוּכוֹן דִּי זַבִּנְתּוּן יָתִי לְמִצְרָיִם:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

[Then] Yoseif said to his brothers, Please [Now] come close to me. They came close [to him] and he said, I am Yoseif your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

וּכְעַן לָא תִתְּנְסוּן וְלָא יִתְקָף בְּעֵינֵיכוֹן אֲרֵי זַבִּנְתּוּן יָתִי הָכָא אֲרֵי לְקַיָּמָא שַׁלְּחַנִי יְיָ קֳדָמֵיכוֹן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Now do not worry, and do not be angry with yourselves that you sold me here; for it was to preserve life that Elohim sent me [here] before you.

אֲרֵי דְנַן תַּרְתֵּין שְׁנִין כַּפְנָא בְּגוֹ אַרְעָא וְעוֹד חָמֵשׁ שְׁנִין דִּי לֵית זְרוֹעָא וַחֲצָדָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

For it is [now] two years that there has been famine in the land; and for another five years there will be no plowing [sowing] or harvest.

וְשַׁלְּחַנִי יְיָ קֳדָמֵיכוֹן לְשַׁוָּאָה לְכוֹן שְׁאָרָא בְּאַרְעָא וּלְקַיָּמָא לְכוֹן לְשֵׁיזָבָא רַבָּא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Elohim sent me [here] before you to insure your survival in the land, and to keep you alive for a great deliverance.

וּכְעַן לָא אַתּוּן שְׁלַחְתּוּן יָתִי הָכָא אֶלָּהֵן מִן קֳדָם יְיָ וְשַׁוְּיַנִי לְאַבָּא לְפַרְעֹה וּלְרִבּוֹן לְכָל אֱנַשׁ בֵּיתֵיהּ וְשַׁלִּיט בְּכָל אַרְעָא דְמִצְרָיִם:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Now [then] it was not you that sent me here, but [it was from before] Elohim; and He has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and master of all [the people of] his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

אוֹחוּ וּסְקוֹ לְוַת אַבָּא וְתֵימְרוּן לֵיהּ כִּדְנַן אֲמַר בְּרָךְ יוֹסֵף שַׁוְּיַנִי יְיָ לְרִבּוֹן לְכָל מִצְרָיִם חוּת לְוָתִי לָא תִתְעַכָּב:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Hurry, go up to my father and tell him: this is what your son, Yoseif, says, Elohim has made me master of all Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay.

וְתֵתֵיב בְּאַרְעָא דְגשֶׁן וּתְהֵי קָרִיב לִי אַתְּ וּבְנָךְ וּבְנֵי בְנָךְ וְעָנָךְ וְתוֹרָךְ וְכָל דִּי לָךְ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

You will dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be close to me—you, your children, your grandchildren, your sheep, your cattle and all that you own.

וְאֵזוּן יָתָךְ תַּמָּן אֲרֵי עוֹד חֲמֵשׁ שְׁנִין כַּפְנָא דִּלְמָא תִתְמַסְכַּן אַתְּ וֶאֱנַשׁ בֵּיתָךְ וְכָל דִּי לָךְ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

I will provide for you there, since there will be another five years of famine; lest you become impoverished together with [the people of] your household and all that is yours.

וְהָא עֵינֵיכוֹן חֲזָן וְעֵינֵי אָחִי בִנְיָמִין אֲרֵי בְלִישָׁנְכוֹן אֲנָא מְמַלֵּל עִמְּכוֹן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Behold, your eyes see it along with my brother Binyomin’s eyes, that I speak to you with my own mouth [in your language].

וּתְחַוּוּן לְאַבָּא יָת כָּל יְקָרִי בְּמִצְרַיִם וְיָת כָּל דִּי חֲזֵיתוּן וְתוֹחוּן וְתַחֲתוּן יָת אַבָּא הָכָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

He kissed all his brothers and wept upon [their necks]. After that his brothers spoke with him.

וְקָלָא אִשְׁתְּמַע לְבֵית פַּרְעֹה לְמֵימַר עַלּוּ אֲחֵי יוֹסֵף וּשְׁפַר בְּעֵינֵי פַרְעֹה וּבְעֵינֵי עַבְדּוֹהִי:

וְאַתְּ מְפַקָּדָא דָּא עִיבִידוּ סִיבוּ לְכוֹן מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם עֶגְלָן לְטַפְלֵיכוֹן וְלִנְשֵׁיכוֹן וְתִטְּלוּן יָת אֲבוּכוֹן וְתֵיתוּן:
