World English Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
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。
2He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
2他就放聲大哭； 埃及 人和法老家中的人都聽見了。
3Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
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。
4Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. 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。
5Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
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 these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
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。
7God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
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。
8So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over 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。
9Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.
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。
10You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
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。
11There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
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 see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks 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 in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
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。」
14He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept 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。
15He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with 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。
16The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
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。
17Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
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。
18Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat 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。
19Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
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。
20Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is 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。』」
21The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision 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 gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
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；
23He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
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 his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on 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。」
25They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
25他們從 埃及 上去，來到 迦南 地、他們的父親 雅各 那裏，
26They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t 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 told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, 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。
28Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. 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。」
