Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another.
1約瑟 在左右站着的人面前情不自禁，吩咐一聲說：「人都要離開我出去！」 約瑟 和弟兄們相認的時候並沒有一人站在他面前。
2And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard.
2他就放聲大哭； 埃及 人和法老家中的人都聽見了。
3And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear.
3約瑟 對他弟兄們說：「我是 約瑟 。我的父親還在嗎？」他弟兄不能回答，因為在他面前都驚惶。
4And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
4約瑟 又對他弟兄們說：「請你們近前來。」他們就近前來。他說：「我是你們的兄弟 約瑟 ，就是你們所賣到 埃及 的。
5Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation.
5現在，不要因為把我賣到這裏自憂自恨。這是上帝差我在你們以先來，為要保全生命。
6For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, wherein there can be neither ploughing nor reaping.
6現在這地的饑荒已經二年了，還有五年不能耕種，不能收成。
7And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live.
7上帝差我在你們以先來，為要給你們存留餘種在世上，又要大施拯救，保全你們的生命。
8Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt.
8這樣看來，差我到這裏來的不是你們，乃是上帝。他又使我如法老的父，作他全家的主，並 埃及 全地的宰相。
9Make haste, and go ye up to my father, and say to him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord of the whole land of Egypt: come down to me, linger not.
9你們要趕緊上到我父親那裏，對他說：『你兒子 約瑟 這樣說：上帝使我作全 埃及 的主，請你下到我這裏來，不要耽延。
10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast.
10你和你的兒子孫子，連牛群羊群，並一切所有的，都可以住在 歌珊 地，與我相近。
11And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining), lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast.
11我要在那裏奉養你；因為還有五年的饑荒，免得你和你的眷屬，並一切所有的，都敗落了。』
12Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.
12況且你們的眼和我兄弟 便雅憫 的眼都看見是我親口對你們說話。
13You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.
13你們也要將我在 埃及 一切的榮耀和你們所看見的事都告訴我父親，又要趕緊地將我父親搬到我這裏來。」
14And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.
14於是 約瑟 伏在他兄弟 便雅憫 的頸項上哭， 便雅憫 也在他的頸項上哭。
15And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.
15他又與眾弟兄親嘴，抱着他們哭，隨後他弟兄們就和他說話。
16And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king’s court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.
16這風聲傳到法老的宮裏，說：「 約瑟 的弟兄們來了。」法老和他的臣僕都很喜歡。
17And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.
17法老對 約瑟 說：「你吩咐你的弟兄們說：『你們要這樣行：把馱子抬在牲口上，起身往 迦南 地去。
18And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.
18將你們的父親和你們的眷屬都搬到我這裏來，我要把 埃及 地的美物賜給你們，你們也要吃這地肥美的出產。
19Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:
19現在我吩咐你們要這樣行：從 埃及 地帶着車輛去，把你們的孩子和妻子，並你們的父親都搬來。
20And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.
20你們眼中不要愛惜你們的家具，因為 埃及 全地的美物都是你們的。』」
21And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao’s commandment: and provisions for the way.
21以色列 的兒子們就如此行。 約瑟 照着法老的吩咐給他們車輛和路上用的食物，
22He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with five robes of the best:
22又給他們各人一套衣服，惟獨給 便雅憫 三百銀子，五套衣服；
23Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.
23送給他父親公驢十匹，馱着 埃及 的美物，母驢十匹，馱着糧食與餅和菜，為他父親路上用。
24So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
24於是 約瑟 打發他弟兄們回去，又對他們說：「你們不要在路上相爭。」
25And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan to their father Jacob.
25他們從 埃及 上去，來到 迦南 地、他們的父親 雅各 那裏，
26And they told him, saying: Joseph thy son is living: and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them.
26告訴他說：「 約瑟 還在，並且作 埃及 全地的宰相。」 雅各 心裏冰涼，因為不信他們。
27They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons and all that he had sent his spirit revived,
27他們便將 約瑟 對他們說的一切話都告訴了他。他們父親 雅各 又看見 約瑟 打發來接他的車輛，心就甦醒了。
28And he said: It is enough for me, if Joseph my son be yet living: I will go and see him before I die.
28以色列 說：「罷了！罷了！我的兒子 約瑟 還在，趁我未死以先，我要去見他一面。」
