创世记 48
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
King James Version with Apocrypha
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。
1And 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.
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。
2And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
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，
3And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
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。』
4And 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.
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 吕便 和 西缅 是我的一样。
5¶ 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.
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。
6And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
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 ）。」
7And 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 Beth-lehem.
8以色列 看见 约瑟 的两个儿子，就说：「这是谁？」
8And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?
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。」
9And 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.
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。
10Now 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.
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。」
11And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
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。
12And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
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。
13And 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.
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）。
14And 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.
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，
15¶ 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,
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。」
16The 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.
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 头上挪到 玛拿西 的头上。
17And 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.
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。」
18And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
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。」
19And 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.
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。
20And 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.
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。
21And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
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。」
22Moreover 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.
