创世记 37
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1雅各 住在 迦南 地，就是他父亲寄居的地。
1And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
2雅各 的记略如下。 约瑟 十七岁与他哥哥们一同牧羊。他是个童子，与他父亲的妾 辟拉 、 悉帕 的儿子们常在一处。 约瑟 将他哥哥们的恶行报给他们的父亲。
2And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father’s wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
3以色列 原来爱 约瑟 过于爱他的众子，因为 约瑟 是他年老生的；他给 约瑟 做了一件彩衣。
3Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.
4约瑟 的哥哥们见父亲爱 约瑟 过于爱他们，就恨 约瑟 ，不与他说和睦的话。
4And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
5约瑟 做了一梦，告诉他哥哥们，他们就越发恨他。
5Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.
6约瑟 对他们说：「请听我所做的梦：
6And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.
7我们在田里捆禾稼，我的捆起来站着，你们的捆来围着我的捆下拜。」
7I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before my sheaf.
8他的哥哥们回答说：「难道你真要作我们的王吗？难道你真要管辖我们吗？」他们就因为他的梦和他的话越发恨他。
8His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
9后来他又做了一梦，也告诉他的哥哥们说：「看哪，我又做了一梦，梦见太阳、月亮，与十一个星向我下拜。」
9He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
10约瑟 将这梦告诉他父亲和他哥哥们，他父亲就责备他说：「你做的这是什么梦！难道我和你母亲、你弟兄果然要来俯伏在地，向你下拜吗？」
10And when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
11他哥哥们都嫉妒他，他父亲却把这话存在心里。
11His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12约瑟 的哥哥们往 示剑 去放他们父亲的羊。
12And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father’s flocks,
13以色列 对 约瑟 说：「你哥哥们不是在 示剑 放羊吗？你来，我要打发你往他们那里去。」 约瑟 说：「我在这里。」
13Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
14以色列 说：「你去看看你哥哥们平安不平安，群羊平安不平安，就回来报信给我」；于是打发他出 希伯 谷 ，他就往 示剑 去了。
14I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
15有人遇见他在田野走迷了路，就问他说：「你找什么？」
15And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16他说：「我找我的哥哥们，求你告诉我，他们在何处放羊。」
16But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the flocks.
17那人说：「他们已经走了，我听见他们说要往 多坍 去。」 约瑟 就去追赶他哥哥们，遇见他们在 多坍 。
17And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.
18他们远远地看见他，趁他还没有走到跟前，大家就同谋要害死他，
18And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him.
19彼此说：「你看！那做梦的来了。
19And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
20来吧！我们将他杀了，丢在一个坑里，就说有恶兽把他吃了。我们且看他的梦将来怎么样。」
20Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him:
21吕便 听见了，要救他脱离他们的手，说：「我们不可害他的性命」；
21And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
22又说：「不可流 他的 血，可以把他丢在这野地的坑里，不可下手害他。」 吕便 的意思是要救他脱离他们的手，把他归还他的父亲。
22Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
23约瑟 到了他哥哥们那里，他们就剥了他的外衣，就是他穿的那件彩衣，
23And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
24把他丢在坑里；那坑是空的，里头没有水。
24And cast him into an old pit, where there was no water.
25他们坐下吃饭，举目观看，见有一伙 米甸 的 以实玛利 人从 基列 来，用骆驼驮着香料、乳香、没药，要带下 埃及 去。
25And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.
26犹大 对众弟兄说：「我们杀我们的兄弟，藏了他的血有什么益处呢？
26And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
27我们不如将他卖给 以实玛利 人，不可下手害他；因为他是我们的兄弟，我们的骨肉。」众弟兄就听从了他。
27It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.
28有些 米甸 的商人从那里经过，哥哥们就把 约瑟 从坑里拉上来，讲定二十舍客勒银子，把 约瑟 卖给 以实玛利 人。他们就把 约瑟 带到 埃及 去了。
28And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.
29吕便 回到坑边，见 约瑟 不在坑里，就撕裂衣服，
29And Ruben, returning to the pit, found not the boy:
30回到兄弟们那里，说：「童子没有了。我往哪里去才好呢？」
30And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear and whither shall I go?
31他们宰了一只公山羊，把 约瑟 的那件彩衣染了血，
31And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
32打发人送到他们的父亲那里，说：「我们捡了这个；请认一认是你儿子的外衣不是？」
32Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son’s coat, or not.
33他认得，就说：「这是我儿子的外衣。有恶兽把他吃了， 约瑟 被撕碎了！撕碎了！」
33And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son’s coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.
34雅各 便撕裂衣服，腰间围上麻布，为他儿子悲哀了多日。
34And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
35他的儿女都起来安慰他，他却不肯受安慰，说：「我必悲哀着下阴间，到我儿子那里。」 约瑟 的父亲就为他哀哭。
35And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping,
36米甸 人带 约瑟 到 埃及 ，把他卖给法老的内臣—护卫长 波提乏 。
36The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
