1Then Joseph fell upon his father’s face, wept over him, and kissed him.
1约瑟 伏在他父亲的面上哀哭,与他亲嘴。
2And Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So they embalmed him,
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 。
3taking the forty days required to complete the embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.
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。
4When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please tell Pharaoh that
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:
5my father made me swear an oath when he said, ‘I am about to die. You must bury me in the tomb that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.’ Now let me go and bury my father, and then return.”
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。」
6Pharaoh replied, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
6法老说:「你可以上去,照着你父亲叫你起的誓,将他葬埋。」
7Then Joseph went to bury his father, and all the servants of Pharaoh accompanied him—the elders of Pharaoh’s household and all the elders of the land of Egypt—
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,
8along with all of Joseph’s household, and his brothers, and his father’s household. Only their children and flocks and herds were left in Goshen.
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。
9Chariots and horsemen alike went up with him, and it was an exceedingly large procession.
9又有车辆马兵,和他一同上去;那一帮人甚多。
10When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wailed loudly, and Joseph mourned for his father seven days.
10他们到了 约旦河 外、 亚达 的禾场,就在那里大大地号咷痛哭。 约瑟 为他父亲哀哭了七天。
11When the Canaanites of the land saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a solemn ceremony of mourning by the Egyptians.” Thus the place across the Jordan is called Abel-mizraim.
11迦南 的居民见 亚达 禾场上的哀哭,就说:「这是 埃及 人一场极大的哀哭。」因此那地方名叫 亚伯·麦西 ,是在 约旦河 东。
12So Jacob’s sons did as he had charged them.
12雅各 的儿子们就遵着他父亲所吩咐的办了,
13They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave at Machpelah in the field near Mamre, which Abraham had purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
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 买来为业,作坟地的。
14After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him to bury his father.
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。
15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph bears a grudge? Then he will surely repay us for all the evil that we did to him.”
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。」
16So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Before he died, your father commanded,
16他们就打发人去见 约瑟 ,说:「你父亲未死以先吩咐说:
17‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.’ So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
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。
18His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”
18他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前,说:「我们是你的仆人。」
19But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
19约瑟 对他们说:「不要害怕,我岂能代替 神呢?
20As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.
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。
21Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.
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。
22Now Joseph and his father’s household remained in Egypt, and Joseph lived to the age of 110.
22约瑟 和他父亲的眷属都住在 埃及 。 约瑟 活了一百一十岁。
23He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.
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。
24Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
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。」
25And Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath and said, “God will surely attend to you, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.”
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。」
26So Joseph died at the age of 110. And they embalmed his body and placed it in a coffin in Egypt.
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 。
