Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father’s face weeping and kissing him.
1約瑟 伏在他父親的面上哀哭，與他親嘴。
2And he commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father.
2約瑟 吩咐伺候他的醫生用香料薰他父親，醫生就用香料薰了 以色列 。
3And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
3薰屍的常例是四十天；那四十天滿了， 埃及 人為他哀哭了七十天。
4And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao:
4為他哀哭的日子過了， 約瑟 對法老家中的人說：「我若在你們眼前蒙恩，請你們報告法老說：
5For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die: thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return.
5『我父親要死的時候叫我起誓說：你要將我葬在 迦南 地，在我為自己所掘的墳墓裏。』現在求你讓我上去葬我父親，以後我必回來。」
6And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear.
6法老說：「你可以上去，照着你父親叫你起的誓，將他葬埋。」
7So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao’s house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
7於是 約瑟 上去葬他父親。與他一同上去的，有法老的臣僕和法老家中的長老，並 埃及 國的長老，
8And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen.
8還有 約瑟 的全家和他的弟兄們，並他父親的眷屬；只有他們的 婦人 孩子，和羊群牛群，都留在 歌珊 地。
9He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company.
9又有車輛馬兵，和他一同上去；那一幫人甚多。
10And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is situated beyond the Jordan: where celebrating the exequies with a great and vehement lamentation, they spent full seven days.
10他們到了 約旦河 外、 亞達 的禾場，就在那裏大大地號咷痛哭。 約瑟 為他父親哀哭了七天。
11And when the inhabitants of Chanaan saw this, they said: This is a great mourning to the Egyptians. And therefore the name of that place was called, The mourning of Egypt.
11迦南 的居民見 亞達 禾場上的哀哭，就說：「這是 埃及 人一場極大的哀哭。」因此那地方名叫 亞伯‧麥西 ，是在 約旦河 東。
12So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them.
12雅各 的兒子們就遵着他父親所吩咐的辦了，
13And carrying him into the land of Chanaan, they buried him in the double cave which Abraham had bought together with the field for a possession of a buryingplace, of Ephron the Hethite over against Mambre.
13把他搬到 迦南 地，葬在 幔利 前、 麥比拉 田間的洞裏；那洞和田是 亞伯拉罕 向 赫 人 以弗崙 買來為業，作墳地的。
14And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father.
14約瑟 葬了他父親以後，就和眾弟兄，並一切同他上去葬他父親的人，都回 埃及 去了。
15Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him.
15約瑟 的哥哥們見父親死了，就說：「或者 約瑟 懷恨我們，照着我們從前待他一切的惡足足地報復我們。」
16And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,
16他們就打發人去見 約瑟 ，說：「你父親未死以先吩咐說：
17That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.
17『你們要對 約瑟 這樣說：從前你哥哥們惡待你，求你饒恕他們的過犯和罪惡。』如今求你饒恕你父親上帝之僕人的過犯。」他們對 約瑟 說這話， 約瑟 就哭了。
18And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
18他的哥哥們又來俯伏在他面前，說：「我們是你的僕人。」
19And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God?
19約瑟 對他們說：「不要害怕，我豈能代替上帝呢？
20You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people.
20從前你們的意思是要害我，但上帝的意思原是好的，要保全許多人的性命，成就今日的光景。
21Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly.
21現在你們不要害怕，我必養活你們和你們的 婦人 孩子。」於是 約瑟 用親愛的話安慰他們。
22And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father’s house: and lived a hundred and ten years. And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasses were born on Joseph’s knees.
22約瑟 和他父親的眷屬都住在 埃及 。 約瑟 活了一百一十歲。
23After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
23約瑟 得見 以法蓮 第三代的子孫。 瑪拿西 的孫子、 瑪吉 的兒子也養在 約瑟 的膝上。
24And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place:
24約瑟 對他弟兄們說：「我要死了，但上帝必定看顧你們，領你們從這地上去，到他起誓所應許給 亞伯拉罕 、 以撒 、 雅各 之地。」
25And he died being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed he was laid in a coffin in Egypt.
25約瑟 叫 以色列 的子孫起誓說：「上帝必定看顧你們；你們要把我的骸骨從這裏搬上去。」
