创世记 47
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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。」
1Then Joseph went in and told Pharao, saying: My father and brethren, their sheep and their herds, and all that they possess, are come out of the land of Chanaan: and behold they stay in the land of Gessen.
2约瑟 从他弟兄中挑出五个人来，引他们去见法老。
2Five men also the last of his brethren, he presented before the king:
3法老问 约瑟 的弟兄说：「你们以何事为业？」他们对法老说：「你仆人是牧羊的，连我们的祖宗也是牧羊的。」
3And he asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
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。」
4We are come to sojourn in thy land, because there is no grass for the flocks of thy servants, the famine being very grievous in the land of Chanaan: and we pray thee to give orders that we thy servants may be in the land of Gessen.
5法老对 约瑟 说：「你父亲和你弟兄到你这里来了，
5The king therefore said to Joseph: Thy father and thy brethren are come to thee.
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。」
6The land of Egypt is before thee: make them dwell in the best place, and give them the land of Gessen. And if thou knowest that there are industrious men among them, make them rulers over my cattle.
7约瑟 领他父亲 雅各 进到法老面前， 雅各 就给法老祝福。
7After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him.
8法老问 雅各 说：「你平生的年日是多少呢？」
8And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life?
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，不及我列祖在世寄居的年日。」
9He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers.
10雅各 又给法老祝福，就从法老面前出去了。
10And blessing the king, he went out.
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。
11But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded.
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。
12And he nourished them, and all his father’s house, allowing food to every one.
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。
13For in the whole world there was want of bread, and a famine had oppressed the land: more especially of Egypt and Chanaan.
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。
14Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it into the king’s treasure.
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？」
15And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money.
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。」
16And he answered them: Bring me your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money.
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。
17And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle.
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。
18And they came the second year, and said to him: We will not hide from our lord, how that our money is spent, and our cattle also are gone: neither art thou ignorant that we have nothing now left but our bodies and our lands.
19你何忍见我们人死地荒呢？求你用粮食买我们和我们的地，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。」
19Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? we will be thine, both we and our lands: buy us to be the king’s servants, and give us seed, lest for want of tillers the land be turned into a wilderness.
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。
20So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao’s hands:
21至于百姓， 约瑟 叫他们，从 埃及 这边直到 埃及 那边，都各归各城。
21And all its people from one end of the borders of Egypt, even to the other end thereof,
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。
22Except the land of the priests, which had been given them by the king: to whom also a certain allowance of food was given out of the public stores, and therefore they were not forced to sell their possessions.
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。
23Then Joseph said to the people: Behold as you see, both you and your lands belong to Pharao: take seed and sow the fields,
24后来打粮食的时候，你们要把五分之一纳给法老，四分可以归你们做地里的种子，也做你们和你们家口孩童的食物。」
24That you may have corn. The fifth part you shall give to the king: the other four you shall have for seed, and for food for your families and children.
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。」
25And they answered: Our life is in thy hand: only let my lord look favourably upon us, and we will gladly serve the king.
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。
26From that time unto this day, in the whole land of Egypt, the fifth part is paid to the king, and it is become as a law, except the land of the priests, which was free from this covenant.
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。
27So Israel dwelt in Egypt, that is, in the land of Gessen, and possessed it: and grew, and was multiplied exceedingly.
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。
28And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years.
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 。
29And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt:
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。」
30But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors. And Joseph answered him: I will do what thou hast commanded.
31雅各 说：「你要向我起誓。」 约瑟 就向他起了誓，于是 以色列 在床头上敬拜 神 。
31And he said: Swear then to me. And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the bed’s head.
