43:18 他们因为被领到约瑟的屋里，就害怕，说，领我们到这里来，必是因为头次归还在我们口袋里的银子，找我们的错缝，下手害我们，强取我们为奴仆，抢夺我们的驴。
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.


43:19 他们就挨进约瑟的家宰，在屋门口和他说话，
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,


43:20 说，我主阿，我们头次下来实在是要籴粮。
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:


43:21 后来到了住宿的地方，我们打开口袋，不料，各人的银子，分量足数，仍在各人的口袋内，现在我们手里又带回来了。
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.


43:22 另外又带下银子来籴粮。不知道先前谁把银子放在我们的口袋里。
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.


43:23 家宰说，你们可以放心，不要害怕，是你们的神和你们父亲的神赐给你们财宝在你们的口袋里。你们的银子，我早已收了。他就把西缅带出来，交给他们。
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.


43:24 家宰就领他们进约瑟的屋里，给他们水洗脚，又给他们草料喂驴。
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.


43:25 他们就预备那礼物，等候约瑟晌午来，因为他们听见要在那里吃饭。
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.


43:26 约瑟来到家里，他们就把手中的礼物拿进屋去给他，又俯伏在地，向他下拜。
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.


43:27 约瑟问他们好，又问，你们的父亲就是你们所说的那老人家平安吗。他还在吗。
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?


43:28 他们回答说，你仆人我们的父亲平安。他还在。于是他们低头下拜。
And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.


43:29 约瑟举目看见他同母的兄弟便雅悯，就说，你们向我所说那顶小的兄弟就是这位吗。又说，小儿阿，愿神赐恩给你。
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.


43:30 约瑟爱弟之情发动，就急忙寻梢可哭之地，进入自己的屋里，哭了一场。
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.


43:31 他洗了脸出来，勉强隐忍，吩咐人摆饭。
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.


43:32 他们就为约瑟单摆了一席，为那些人又摆了一席，也为和约瑟同吃饭的埃及人另摆了一席，因为埃及人不可和希伯来人一同吃饭。那原是埃及人所厌恶的。
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.


43:33 约瑟使众弟兄在他面前排列坐席，都按着长幼的次序，众弟兄就彼此诧异。
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.


43:34 约瑟把他面前的食物分出来，送给他们。但便雅悯所得的比别人多五倍。他们就饮酒，和约瑟一同宴乐。
And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

44:1 约瑟吩咐家宰说，把粮食装满这些人的口袋，尽着他们的驴所能驮的，又把各人的银子放在各人的口袋里，
And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.


44:2 并将我的银杯和那少年人籴粮的银子一同装在他的口袋里。家宰就照约瑟所说的话行了。
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.


44:3 天一亮就打发那些人带着驴走了。
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.


44:4 他们出城走了不远，约瑟对家宰说，起来，追那些人去，追上了就对他们说，你们为什么以恶报善呢。
And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?


44:5 这不是我主人饮酒的杯吗。岂不是他占卜用的吗。你们这样行是作恶了。
Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.


44:6 家宰追上他们，将这些话对他们说了。
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.


44:7 他们回答说，我主为什么说这样的话呢。你仆人断不能作这样的事。
And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:


44:8 你看，我们从前在口袋里所见的银子，尚且从迦南地带来还你，我们怎能从你主人家里偷窃金银呢。
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?


44:9 你仆人中无论在谁那里搜出来，就叫他死，我们也作我主的奴仆。
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.


44:10 家宰说，现在就照你们的话行吧。在谁那里搜出来，谁就作我的奴仆。其馀的都没有罪。
And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.


44:11 于是他们各人急忙把口袋卸在地下，各人打开口袋。
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.


44:12 家宰就搜查，从年长的起到年幼的为止，那杯竟在便雅悯的口袋里搜出来。
And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.


44:13 他们就撕裂衣服，各人把驮子抬在驴上，回城去了。
Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.


44:14 犹大和他弟兄们来到约瑟的屋中，约瑟还在那里，他们就在他面前俯伏于地。
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.


44:15 约瑟对他们说，你们作的是什么事呢。你们岂不知像我这样的人必能占卜吗，
And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?


44:16 犹大说，我们对我主说什么呢。还有什么话可说呢。我们怎能自己表白出来呢。神已经查出仆人的罪孽了。我们与那在他手中搜出杯来的都是我主的奴仆。
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.


44:17 约瑟说，我断不能这样行。在谁的手中搜出杯来，谁就作我的奴仆。至于你们，可以平平安安地上你们父亲那里去。
And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.

44:18 犹大挨近他，说，我主阿，求你容仆人说一句话给我主听，不要向仆人发烈怒，因为你如同法老一样。
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.


44:19 我主曾问仆人们说，你们有父亲有兄弟没有。
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?


44:20 我们对我主说，我们有父亲，已经年老，还有他老年所生的一个小孩子。他哥哥死了，他母亲只撇下他一人，他父亲疼爱他。
And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.


44:21 你对仆人说，把他带到我这里来，叫我亲眼看看他。
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.


44:22 我们对我主说，童子不能离开他父亲，若是离开，他父亲必死。
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.


44:23 你对仆人说，你们的小兄弟若不与你们一同下来，你们就不得再见我的面。
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.


44:24 我们上到你仆人我们父亲那里，就把我主的话告诉了他。
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.


44:25 我们的父亲说，你们再去给我籴些粮来。
And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.


44:26 我们就说，我们不能下去。我们的小兄弟若和我们同往，我们就可以下去。因为，小兄弟若不与我们同往，我们必不得见那人的面。
And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.


44:27 你仆人我父亲对我们说，你们知道我的妻子给我生了两个儿子。
And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:


44:28 一个离开我出去了。我说他必是被撕碎了，直到如今我也没有见他。
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:


44:29 现在你们又要把这个带去离开我，倘若他遭害，那便是你们使我白发苍苍，悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.


44:30 我父亲的命与这童子的命相连。如今我回到你仆人我父亲那里，若没有童子与我们同在，
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;


44:31 我们的父亲见没有童子，他就必死。这便是我们使你仆人我们的父亲白发苍苍，悲悲惨惨地下阴间去了。
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.


44:32 因为仆人曾向我父亲为这童子作保，说，我若不带他回来交给父亲，我便在父亲面前永远担罪。
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.


44:33 现在求你容仆人住下，替这童子作我主的奴仆，叫童子和他哥哥们一同上去。
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.


44:34 若童子不和我同去，我怎能上去见我父亲呢。恐怕我看见灾祸临到我父亲身上。
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

45:1 约瑟在左右站着的人面前情不自禁，吩咐一声说，人都要离开我出去。约瑟和弟兄相认的时候并没有一人站在他面前。
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.


45:2 他就放声大哭，埃及人和法老家中的人都听见了。
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.


45:3 约瑟对他弟兄们说，我是约瑟。我的父亲还在吗，他弟兄不能回答，因为在他面前都惊惶。
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.


45:4 约瑟又对他弟兄们说，请你们近前来。他们就近前来。他说，我是你们的兄弟约瑟，就是你们所卖到埃及的。
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.


45:5 现在，不要因为把我卖到这里自忧自恨。这是神差我在你们以先来，为要保全生命。
Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.


45:6 现在这地的饥荒已经二年了，还在五年不能耕种，不能收成。
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.


45:7 神差我在你们以先来，为要给你们存留馀种在世上，又要大施拯救，保全你们的生命。
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.


45:8 这样看来，差我到这里来的不是你们，乃是神。他又使我如法老的父，作他全家的主，并埃及全地的宰相。
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.


45:9 你们要赶紧上到我父亲那里。对他说，你儿子约瑟这样说，神使我作全埃及的主，请你下到我这里来，不要耽延。
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:


45:10 你和你我儿子孙子，连牛群羊群，并一切所有的，都可以住在歌珊地，与我相近。
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:


45:11 我要在那里奉养你。因为还有五年的饥荒，免得你和你的眷属，并一切所有的，都败落了。
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.


45:12 况且你们的眼和我兄弟便雅悯的眼都看见是我亲口对你们说话。
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.


45:13 你们也要将我在埃及一切的荣耀和你们所看见的事都告诉我父亲，又要赶紧地将我父亲搬到我这里来。
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.


45:14 于是约瑟伏在他兄弟便雅悯的颈项上哭，便雅悯也在他的颈项上哭。
And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

45:15 他又与众弟兄亲嘴，抱着他们哭，随后他弟兄就和他说话。
Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.


45:16 这风声传到法老的宫里，说，约瑟的弟兄们来了。法老和他的臣仆都很喜欢。
And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.


45:17 法老对约瑟说，你吩咐你的弟兄们说，你们要这样行，把驮子抬在牲口上，起身往迦南地去。
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;


45:18 将你们的父亲和你们的眷属都搬到我这里来，我要把埃及地的美物赐给你们，你们也要吃这地肥美的出产。
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.


45:19 现在我吩咐你们要这样行，从埃及地带着车辆去，把你们的孩子和妻子，并你们的父亲都搬来。
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.


45:20 你们眼中不要爱惜你们的家具，因为埃及全地的美物都是你们的。
Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.


45:21 以色列的儿子们就如此行。约瑟照着法老的吩咐给他们车辆和路上用的食物，
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.


45:22 又给他们各人一套衣服，惟独给便雅悯三百银子，五套衣服。
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.


45:23 送给他父亲公驴十匹，驮着埃及的美物，母驴十匹，驮着粮食与饼和菜，为他父亲路上用。
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.


45:24 于是约瑟打发他弟兄们回去，又对他们说，你们不要在路上相争。
So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.


45:25 他们从埃及上去，来到迦南地，他们的父亲雅各那里，
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,


45:26 告诉他说，约瑟还在，并且作埃及全地的宰相。雅各心里冰凉，因为不信他们。
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.


45:27 他们便将约瑟对他们说的一切话都告诉了他。他们父亲雅各又看见约瑟打发来接他的车辆，心就苏醒了。
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:


45:28 以色列说，吧了。吧了。我的儿子约瑟还在，趁我未死以先，我要去见他一面。
And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

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.


46:8 来到埃及的以色列人名字记在下面。雅各和他的儿孙，雅各的长子是流便。
And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.


46:9 流便的儿子是哈诺，法路，希斯伦，迦米。
And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.


46:10 西缅的儿子是耶母利，雅悯，阿辖，雅斤，琐辖，还有迦南女子所生的扫罗。
And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.


46:11 利未的儿子是革顺，哥辖，米拉利。
And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.


46:12 犹大的儿子是珥，俄南，示拉，法勒斯，谢拉。惟有珥与俄南死在迦南地。法勒斯的儿子是希斯伦，哈母勒。
And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.


46:13 以萨迦的儿子是陀拉，普瓦，约伯，伸仑。
And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.


46:14 西布伦的儿子是西烈，以伦，雅利。
And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.


46:15 这是利亚在巴旦亚兰给雅各所生的儿子，还在女儿底拿。儿孙共三十三人。
These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.


46:16 迦得的儿子是洗非芸，哈基，书尼，以斯本，以利，亚罗底，亚列利。
And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.


46:17 亚设的儿子是音拿，亦施瓦，亦施韦，比利亚，还有他们的妹子西拉。比利亚的儿子是希别，玛结。
And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.

46:18 这是拉班给他女儿利亚的婢女悉帕从雅各所生的儿孙，共有十六人。
These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.


46:19 雅各之妻拉结的儿子是约瑟和便雅悯。
The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.


46:20 约瑟在埃及地生了玛拿西和以法莲，就是安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给约瑟生的。
And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.


46:21 便雅悯的儿子是比拉，比结，亚实别，基拉，乃幔，以希，罗实，母平，户平，亚勒。
And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.


46:22 这是拉结给雅各所生的儿孙，共有十四人。
These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.


46:23 但的儿子是户伸。
And the sons of Dan; Hushim.


46:24 拿弗他利的儿子是雅薛，沽尼，耶色，示冷。
And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.


46:25 这是拉班给他女儿拉结的婢女辟拉从雅各所生的儿孙，共有七人。
These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.


46:26 那与雅各同到埃及的，除了他儿妇之外，凡从他所生的，共有六十六人。
All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;


46:27 还有约瑟在埃及所生的两个儿子。雅各家来到埃及的共有七十人。
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.

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.

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.
