OET (OET-RV) “So hurry back to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Yosef says, “God has made me master over all Egypt. Come down to me—don’t delay.
מַהֲרוּ֮ וַעֲל֣וּ
hurry and,go_up
In this verse, the words up and down reflect the fact that Canaan was higher in elevation than Egypt. Many languages leave those words implied. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Hurry up” or “Leave quickly and go back” or “Return quickly”
אֶל אָבִי֒
to/towards father,my
See how you translated my father in verse 3.

Consider whether it is best in your language to translate this embedded quote as a direct or indirect quote.

made,me ʼElohīm as,lord to/from=all/each/any/every Miʦrayim/(Egypt)
Consider whether it is best in your language to translate this doubly embedded quote (which continues through verse 11) as a direct or indirect quote. An example of an indirect quote would be: “God has made him the ruler over all Egypt. He urges you to come down there to live near him, without delay. He also says that you and your family may live in Goshen Province and that way you will live near him … He will provide for you there …” Alternate translation: “God has made me ruler over the entire country of Egypt.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אַֽל תַּעֲמֹֽד
not delay
For some languages it is more natural to put this clause first in this sentence and say, “So please do not take very long, but rather come down/here quickly to live near me.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and do not wait.” or “and do not take very long to come.”
45:1-15 In one of the most dramatic scenes of the book, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, bringing the process of reconciling with them to a climax (see also 50:14-21).
