Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
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。
2Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
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。
3Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
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，
4and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’
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。』
5Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
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。
6Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
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。
7As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”
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 ）。」
8Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
8以色列 看见 约瑟 的两个儿子，就说：「这是谁？」
9Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
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。」
10Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced 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。
11Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
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。」
12Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
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。
13Joseph 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 to him.
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。
14Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
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）。
15He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
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，
16the angel who has 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. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
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。」
17When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
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。
18Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his 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。」
19His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”
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。」
20He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in your name, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
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。
21Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
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。
22Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
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。」
