1Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
1約瑟 伏在他父親的面上哀哭，與他親嘴。
2Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
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 。
3Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for 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。
4When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to Pharaoh’s staff, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
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：
5‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
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。」
6Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
6法老說：「你可以上去，照着你父親叫你起的誓，將他葬埋。」
7Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, 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，
8all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
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。
9Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.
9又有車輛馬兵，和他一同上去；那一幫人甚多。
10They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father 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。
11When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
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。
12His sons did to him just as he commanded them,
12雅各 的兒子們就遵着他父親所吩咐的辦了，
13for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, as a possession for a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, near Mamre.
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。
14Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, 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。
15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all the evil which 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。」
16They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,
16他們就打發人去見 約瑟 ，說：「你父親未死以先吩咐說：
17‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
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。
18His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
18他的哥哥們又來俯伏在他面前，說：「我們是你的僕人。」
19Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
19約瑟 對他們說：「不要害怕，我豈能代替上帝呢？
20As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
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。
21Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
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。
22Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
22約瑟 和他父親的眷屬都住在 埃及 。 約瑟 活了一百一十歲。
23Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
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。
24Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
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。」
25Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
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。」
26So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
26約瑟 死了，正一百一十歲。人用香料將他薰了，把他收殮在棺材裏，停在 埃及 。
