旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第46 章
46:1 以色列带着一切所有的,起身来到别是巴,就献祭给他父亲以撒的神。
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
46:2 夜间,神在异象中对以色列说,雅各。雅各。他说,我在这里。
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
46:3 神说,我是神,就是你父亲的神。你下埃及去不要害怕,因为我必使你在那里成为大族。
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
46:4 我要和你同下埃及去,也必定带你上来。约瑟必给你送终(原文作将手按你的眼睛上)。
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
46:5 雅各就从别是巴起行。以色列的儿子们使他们的父亲雅各和他们的妻子,儿女都坐在法老为雅各送来的车上。
And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
46:6 他们又带着迦南地所得的牲畜,货财来到埃及。雅各和他的一切子孙都一同来了,
And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
46:7 雅各把他的儿子,孙子,女儿,孙女,并他的子子孙孙,一同带到埃及。
His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
46:28 雅各打发犹大先去见约瑟,请派人引路往歌珊去。于是他们来到歌珊地。
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
46:29 约瑟套车往歌珊去,迎接他父亲以色列,及至见了面,就伏在父亲的颈项,哭了许久。
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
46:30 以色列对约瑟说,我既得见你的面,知道你还在,就是死我也甘心。
And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
46:31 约瑟对他的弟兄和他父的全家说,我要上去告诉法老,对他说,我的弟兄和我父的全家从前在迦南地,现今都到我这里来了。
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
46:32 他们本是牧羊的人,以养牲畜为业。他们把羊群牛群和一切所有的都带来了。
And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
46:33 等法老召你们的时候,问你们说,你们以何事为业。
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
46:34 你们要说,你的仆人,从幼年直到如今,都以养牲畜为业,连我们的祖宗也都以此为业。这样,你们可以住在歌珊地,因为凡牧羊的都被埃及人所厌恶。
That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第47 章
47:1 约瑟进去告诉法老说,我的父亲和我的弟兄带着羊群牛群,并一切所有的,从迦南地来了,如今在歌珊地。
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
47:2 约瑟从他弟兄中挑出五个人来,引他们去见法老。
And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
47:3 法老问约瑟的弟兄说,你们以可事为业,他们对法老说,你仆人是牧羊的,连我们的祖宗也是牧羊的。
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
47:4 他们又对法老说,迦南地的饥荒甚大,仆人的羊群没有草吃,所以我们来到这地寄居。现在求你容仆人住在歌珊地。
They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
47:5 法老对约瑟说,你父亲和你弟兄到你这里来了,
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
47:6 埃及地都在你面前,只管叫你父亲和你弟兄住在国中最好的地。他们可以住在歌珊地。你若知道他们中间有什么能人,就派他们看管我的牲畜。
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
47:7 约瑟领他父亲雅各进到法老面前,雅各就给法老祝福。
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
47:8 法老问雅各说,你平生的年日是多少呢,
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
47:9 雅各对法老说,我寄居在世的年日是一百三十岁,我平生的年日又少又苦,不及我列祖早在世寄居的年日。
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
47:10 雅各又给法老祝福,就从法老面前出去了。
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
47:11 约瑟遵着法老的命,把埃及国最好的地,就是兰塞境内的地,给他父亲和弟兄居住,作为产业。
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
47:12 约瑟用粮食奉养他父亲和他弟兄,并他父亲全家的眷属,都是照各家的人口奉养他们。
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
47:13 饥荒甚大,全地都绝了粮,甚至埃及地和迦南地的人因那饥荒的缘故都饿昏了。
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
47:14 约瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子,就是众人籴粮的银子,约瑟就把那银子带到法老的宫里。
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
47:15 埃及地和迦南地的银子都花尽了,埃及众人都来见约瑟,说,我们的银子都用尽了,求你给我们粮食,我们为什么死在你面前呢。
And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
47:16 约瑟说,若是银子用尽了,可以把你们的牲畜给我,我就为你们的牲畜给你们粮食。
And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
47:17 于是他们把牲畜赶到约瑟那里,约瑟就拿粮食换了他们的牛,羊,驴,马。那一年因换他们一切的牲畜,就用粮食养活他们。
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
47:18 那一年过去,第二年他们又来见约瑟,说,我们不瞒我主,我们的银子都花尽了,牲畜也都归了我主。我们在我主眼前,除了我们的身体和田地之外,一无所剩。
When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
47:19 你何忍见我们人死地荒呢。求你用粮食买我们的我们的地,我们和我们的地就要给法老效力。又求你给我们种子,使我们得以存活,不至死亡,地土也不至荒凉。
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
47:20 于是,约瑟为法老买了埃及所有的地,埃及人因被饥荒所迫,各都卖了自己的田地。那地就都归了法老。
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
47:21 至于百姓,约瑟叫他们,从埃及赦边直到埃及那边,都各归各城。
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
47:22 惟有祭司的地,约瑟没有买,因为祭司有从法老所得的常俸。他们吃法老所给的常俸,所以他们不卖自己的地。
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
47:23 约瑟对百姓说,我今日为法老买了你们和你们的地,看哪,这里有种子给你们,你们可以种地。
Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
47:24 后来打粮食的时候,你们要把五分之一纳给法老,四分可以归你们作地里的种子,也作你们和你们家口孩童的食物。
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
47:25 他们说,你救了我们的性命。但愿我们在我主眼前蒙恩,我们就作法老的仆人。
And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
47:26 于是约瑟为埃及地定下常例,直到今日,法老必得五分之一,惟独祭司的地不归法老。
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
47:27 以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他们在那里置了产业,并且生育甚多。
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
47:28 雅各住在埃及地十七年,雅各平生的年日是一百四十七岁。
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
47:29 以色列的死期临近了,他就叫了他儿子约瑟来,说,我若在你眼前蒙恩,请你把手放在我大腿底下,用慈爱和诚实待我,请你不要将我葬在埃及。
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
47:30 我与我祖我父同睡的时候,你要将我带出埃及,葬在他们所葬的地方。约瑟说,我必遵着你的命而行。
But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
47:31 雅各说,你要向我起誓。约瑟就向他起了誓,于是以色列在床头上(或作扶着杖头)敬拜神。
And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第48 章
48:1 这事以后,有人告诉约瑟说,你的父亲病了。他就带着两个儿子玛拿西和以法莲同去。
And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
48:2 有人告诉雅各说,请看,你儿子约瑟到你这里来了。以色列就勉强在床上坐起来。
And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
48:3 雅各对约瑟说,全能的神曾在迦南地的路斯向我显现,赐福与我,
And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
48:4 对我说,我必使你生养众多,成为多民,又要把这地赐给你的后裔,永远为业。
And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
48:5 我未到埃及见你之先,你在埃及地所生的以法莲和玛拿西这两个儿子是我的,正如流便和西缅是我的一样。
And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
48:6 你在他们以后所生的就是你的,他们可以归于他们弟兄的名下得产业。
And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
48:7 至于我,我从巴旦来的时候,拉结死在我眼前,在迦南地的路上,离以法他还有一段路程,我就把她葬在以法他的路上。以法他就是伯利恒。
And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
48:8 以色列看见约瑟的两个儿子,就说,这是谁,
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
48:9 约瑟对他父亲说,这是神在这里赐给我的儿子。以色列说,请你领他们到我跟前,我要给他们祝福。
And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
48:10 以色列年纪老迈,眼睛昏花,不能看见。约瑟领他们到他跟前,他就和他们亲嘴,抱着他们。
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
48:11 以色列对约瑟说,我想不到得见你的面,不料,神又使我得见你的儿子。
And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
48:12 约瑟把两个儿子从以色列两膝中领出来,自己就脸伏于地下拜。
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
48:13 随后,约瑟又拉着他们两个,以法莲在他的右手里,对着以色列的左手,玛拿西在他的左手里,对着以色列的右手,领他们到以色列的跟前。
And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
48:14 以色列伸出右手来,按在以法莲的头上,以法莲乃是次子。又剪搭过左手来,按在玛拿西的头上,玛拿西原是长子。
And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
48:15 他就给约瑟祝福说,愿我祖亚伯拉罕和我父以撒所事奉的神,就是一生牧养我直到今日的神,
And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
48:16 救赎我脱离一切患难的那使者,赐福与这两个童子。愿他们归在我的名下和我祖亚伯拉罕,我父以撒的名下。又愿他们在世界中生养众多。
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
48:17 约瑟见他父亲把右手按在以法莲的头上,就不喜悦,便提起他父亲的手,要从以法莲的头上挪到玛拿西的头上。
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
48:18 约瑟对他父亲说,我父,不是这样。这本是长子,求你把右手按在他的头上。
And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
48:19 他父亲不从,说,我知道,我儿,我知道。他也必成为一族,也必昌大。只是他的兄弟将来比他还大。他兄弟的后裔要成为多族。
And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
48:20 当日就给他们祝福说,以色列人要指着你们祝福说,愿神使你如以法莲,玛拿西一样。于是立以法莲在玛拿西以上。
And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
48:21 以色列又对约瑟说,我要死了,但神必与你们同在,领你们回到你们列祖之地。
And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
48:22 并且我从前用弓用刀从亚摩利人手下夺的那块地,我都赐给你,使你比众弟兄多得一分。
Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第49 章
49:1 雅各叫了他的儿子们来,说,你们都来聚集,我好把你们日后必遇的事告诉你们。
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
49:2 雅各的儿子们,你们要聚集而听,要听你们父亲以色列的话。
Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
49:3 流便哪,你是我的长子,是我力量强壮的时候生的,本当大有尊荣,权力超众。
Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
49:4 但你放纵情欲,滚沸如水,必不得居首位。因为你上了你父亲的床,污秽了我的榻。
Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
49:5 西缅和利未是弟兄。他们的刀剑是残忍的器具。
Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
49:6 我的灵阿,不要与他们同谋。我的心哪,不要与他们联络。因为他们趁怒杀害人命,任意砍断牛腿大筋。
O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
49:7 他们的怒气暴烈可咒。他们的忿恨残忍可诅。我要使他们分居在雅各家里,散住在以色列地中。
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
49:8 犹大阿,你弟兄们必赞美你。你手必掐住仇敌的颈项。你父亲的儿子们必向你下拜。
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
49:9 犹大是个小狮子。我儿阿,你抓了食便上去。你屈下身去,卧如公狮,蹲如母狮,谁敢惹你。
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
49:10 圭必不离犹大,杖必不离他两脚之间,直等细罗(就是赐平安者)来到,万民都必归顺。
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
49:11 犹大把小驴拴在葡萄树上,把驴驹拴在美好的葡萄树上。他在葡萄酒中洗了衣服,在葡萄汁中洗了袍褂。
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
49:12 他的眼睛必因酒红润。他的牙齿必因奶白亮。
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
49:13 西布伦必住在海口,必成为停船的海口。他的境界必延到西顿。
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
49:14 以萨迦是个强壮的驴,卧在羊圈之中。
Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
49:15 他以安静为佳,以肥地为美,便低肩背重,成为服苦的仆人。
And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
49:16 但必判断他的民,作以色列支派之一。
Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
49:17 但必作道上的蛇,路中的虺,咬伤马蹄,使骑马的坠落于后。
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
49:18 耶和华阿,我向来等候你的救恩。
I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
49:19 迦得必被敌军追逼,他却要追逼他们的脚跟。
Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
49:20 亚设之地必出肥美的粮食,且出君王的美味。
Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
49:21 拿弗他利是被释放的母鹿。他出嘉美的言语。
Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
49:22 约瑟是多结果子的树枝,是泉旁多结果的枝子。他的枝条探出墙外。
Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
49:23 弓箭手将他苦害,向他射箭,逼迫他。
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
49:24 但他的弓仍旧坚硬。他的手健壮敏捷。这是因以色列的牧者,以色列的磐石就是雅各的大能者。
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
49:25 你父亲的神必帮助你。那全能者必将天上所有的福,地里所藏的福,以及生产乳养的福,都赐给你。
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
49:26 你父亲所祝的福,胜过我祖先所祝的福,如永世的山岭,至极的边界。这些福必降在约瑟的头上,临列那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上。
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
49:27 便雅悯是个撕掠的狼,早晨要吃他所抓的,晚上要分他所夺的。
Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
49:28 这一切是以色列的十二支派。这也是他们的父亲对他们所说的话,为他们所祝的福,都是按着各人的福分为他们祝福。
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
49:29 他又嘱咐他们说,我将要归到我列祖(原文作本民)那里,你们要将我葬在赫人以弗仑田间的洞里,与我祖我父在一处,
And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
49:30 就是在迦南地幔利前,麦比拉田间的洞。那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买来为业,作坟地的。
In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
49:31 他们在那里葬了亚伯拉罕和他妻撒拉,又在那里葬了以撒和他的妻子利百加。我也在那里葬了利亚。
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
49:32 那块田和田间的洞原是向赫人买的。
The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
49:33 雅各嘱咐众子已毕,就把脚收在床上,气绝而死,归到列祖(原文作本民)那里去了。
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
旧约-- 创世记(Genesis)--第50 章
50:1 约瑟伏在他父亲的面上哀哭,与他亲嘴。
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
50:2 约瑟吩咐伺候他的医生用香料薰他父亲,医生就用香料薰了以色列。
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
50:3 薰尸的常例是四十天。那四十天满了,埃及人为他哀哭了七十天。
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
50:4 为他哀哭的日子过了,约瑟对法老家中的人说,我若在你们眼前蒙恩,请你们报告法老说,
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
50:5 我父亲要死的时候叫我起誓说,你要将我葬在迦南地,在我为自己所掘的坟墓里。现在求你让我上去葬我父亲,以后我必回来。
My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
50:6 法老说,你可以上去,照着你父亲叫你起的誓,将他葬埋。
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
50:7 于是约瑟上去葬他父亲。与他一同上去的,有法老的臣仆和法老家中的长老,并埃及国的长老,
And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
50:8 还有约瑟的全家和他的弟兄们,并他父亲的眷属。只有他们的妇人孩子,和羊群牛群,都留在歌珊地。
And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
50:9 又有车辆马兵,和他一同上去。那一帮人甚多。
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
50:10 他们到了约旦河外,亚达的禾场,就在那里大大地号啕痛哭。约瑟为他父亲哀哭了七天。
And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
50:11 迦南的居民见亚达禾场上的哀哭,就说,这是埃及人一场大的哀哭。因此那地方名叫亚伯麦西,是在约旦河东。
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
50:12 雅各的儿子们就遵着他父亲所吩咐的办了,
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
50:13 把他搬到迦南地,葬在幔利前,麦比拉田间的洞里。那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买来为业,作坟地的。
For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
50:14 约瑟葬了他父亲以后,就和众弟兄,并一切同他上去葬他父亲的人,都回埃及去了。
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
50:15 约瑟的哥哥们见父亲死了,就说,或者约瑟怀恨我们,照着我们从前待他一切的恶足足地报复我们。
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
50:16 他们就打发人去见约瑟,说,你父亲未死以先吩咐说,
And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
50:17 你们要对约瑟这样说,从前你哥哥们恶待你,求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶。如今求你饶恕你父亲神之仆人的过犯。他们对约瑟说这话,约瑟就哭了。
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
50:18 他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前,说,我们是你的仆人。
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
50:19 约瑟对他们说,不要害怕,我岂能代替神呢。
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
50:20 从前你们的意思是要害我,但神的意思原是好的,要保全许多人的性命,成就今日的光景。
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
50:21 现在你们不要害怕,我必养活你们和你们的妇人孩子。于是约瑟用亲爱的话安慰他们。
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
50:22 约瑟和他父亲的眷属都住在埃及。约瑟活了一百一十岁。
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
50:23 约瑟得见以法莲第三代的子孙。玛拿西的孙子,玛吉的儿子也养在约瑟的膝上。
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
50:24 约瑟对他弟兄们说,我要死了,但神必定看顾你们,领你们从这地上去,到他起誓所应许给亚伯拉罕,以撒,雅各之地。
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
50:25 约瑟叫以色列的子孙起誓说,神必定看顾你们。你们要把我的骸骨从这里搬上去。
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
50:26 约瑟死了,正一百一十岁。人用香料将他薰了,把他收殓在棺材里,停在埃及。
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
