Genesis 50

约瑟伏在他父亲的面上哀哭，与他亲嘴。

yuē sè fú zài tā fù qīn de miàn shàng āi kū ， yǔ tā qīn zuǐ 。

Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.

约瑟吩咐伺候他的医生用香料薰他父亲，医生就用香料薰了以色列。

yuē sè fēn fù sì hòu tā de yī shēng yòng xiāng liào xūn tā fù qīn ， yī shēng jiù yòng xiāng liào xūn le yǐ sè liè 。

Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

薰尸的常例是四十天；那四十天满了，埃及人为他哀哭了七十天。

xūn shī de cháng lì shì sì shí tiān ； nà sì shí tiān mǎn le ， āi jí rén wéi tā āi kū le qī shí tiān 。

Forty days were used for him, for that is how many days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for Israel for seventy days.

为他哀哭的日子过了，约瑟对法老家中的人说：「我若在你们眼前蒙恩，请你们报告法老说：

wèi tā āi kū de rì zi guò le ， yuē sè duì fǎ lǎo jiā zhōng de rén shuō ：「 wǒ ruò zài nǐ men yǎn qián méng ēn ， qǐng nǐ men bào gào fǎ lǎo shuō ：

When 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,

『我父亲要死的时候叫我起誓说：你要将我葬在迦南地，在我为自己所掘的坟墓里。』现在求你让我上去葬我父亲，以后我必回来。」

『 wǒ fù qīn yào sǐ de shí hòu jiào wǒ qǐ shì shuō ： nǐ yào jiāng wǒ zàng zài jiā nán dì ， zài wǒ wèi zì jǐ suǒ jué de fén mù lǐ 。』 xiàn zài qiú nǐ ràng wǒ shàng qù zàng wǒ fù qīn ， yǐ hòu wǒ bì huí lái 。」

‘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.’”

法老说：「你可以上去，照着你父亲叫你起的誓，将他葬埋。」

fǎ lǎo shuō ：「 nǐ kě yǐ shàng qù ， zhào zhe nǐ fù qīn jiào nǐ qǐ de shì ， jiāng tā zàng mái 。」

Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”

于是约瑟上去葬他父亲。与他一同上去的，有法老的臣仆和法老家中的长老，并埃及国的长老，

yú shì yuē sè shàng qù zàng tā fù qīn 。 yǔ tā yì tóng shàng qù de ， yǒu fǎ lǎo de chén pú hé fǎ lǎo jiā zhōng de zhǎng lǎo ， bìng āi jí guó de zhǎng lǎo ，

Joseph 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,

还有约瑟的全家和他的弟兄们，并他父亲的眷属；只有他们的妇人孩子，和羊群牛群，都留在歌珊地。

hái yǒu yuē sè de quán jiā hé tā de dì xiong men ， bìng tā fù qīn de juàn shǔ ； zhǐ yǒu tā men de fù rén hái zi ， hé yáng qún niú qún ， dōu liú zài gē shān dì 。

all 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.

又有车辆马兵，和他一同上去；那一帮人甚多。

yòu yǒu chē liàng mǎ bīng ， hé tā yì tóng shàng qù ； nà yì bāng rén shèn duō 。

Both chariots and horsemen went up with him. It was a very great company.

他们到了约旦河外、亚达的禾场，就在那里大大地号咷痛哭。约瑟为他父亲哀哭了七天。

tā men dào le yuē dàn hé wài 、 yà dá de hé chǎng ， jiù zài nà lǐ dà dà dì hào táo tòng kū 。 yuē sè wèi tā fù qīn āi kū le qī tiān 。

They 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.

迦南的居民见亚达禾场上的哀哭，就说：「这是埃及人一场极大的哀哭。」因此那地方名叫亚伯·麦西，是在约旦河东。

jiā nán de jū mín jiàn yà dá hé chǎng shàng de āi kū ， jiù shuō ：「 zhè shì āi jí rén yì chǎng jí dà de āi kū 。」 yīn cǐ nà dì fāng míng jiào yà bó · mài xī ， shì zài yuē dàn hé dōng 。

When 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.

雅各的儿子们就遵着他父亲所吩咐的办了，

yǎ gè de ér zi men jiù zūn zhe tā fù qīn suǒ fēn fù de bàn le ，

His sons did to him just as he commanded them,

把他搬到迦南地，葬在幔利前、麦比拉田间的洞里；那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗 买来为业，作坟地的。

bǎ tā bān dào jiā nán dì ， zàng zài màn lì qián 、 mài bǐ lā tián jiān de dòng lǐ ； nà dòng hé tián shì yà bó lā hǎn xiàng hè rén yǐ fú mǎi lái wèi yè ， zuò fén dì de 。

for 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.

约瑟葬了他父亲以后，就和众弟兄，并一切同他上去葬他父亲的人，都回埃及去了。

yuē sè zàng le tā fù qīn yǐ hòu ， jiù hé zhòng dì xiong ， bìng yí qiè tóng tā shàng qù zàng tā fù qīn de rén ， dōu huí āi jí qù le 。

Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

约瑟的哥哥们见父亲死了，就说：「或者约瑟怀恨我们，照着我们从前待他一切的恶足足地报复我们。」

yuē sè de gē ge men jiàn fù qīn sǐ le ， jiù shuō ：「 huò zhě yuē sè huái hèn wǒ men ， zhào zhe wǒ men cóng qián dài tā yí qiè de è zú zú dì bào fù wǒ men 。」

When 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.”

他们就打发人去见约瑟，说：「你父亲未死以先吩咐说：

tā men jiù dǎ fā rén qù jiàn yuē sè ， shuō ：「 nǐ fù qīn wèi sǐ yǐ xiān fēn fù shuō ：

They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,

『你们要对约瑟这样说：从前你哥哥们恶待你，求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶。』如今求你饶恕你父亲 神之仆人的过犯。」他们对约瑟说这话，约瑟就哭了。

『 nǐ men yào duì yuē sè zhè yàng shuō ： cóng qián nǐ gē ge men è dài nǐ ， qiú nǐ ráo shù tā men de guò fàn hé zuì è 。』 rú jīn qiú nǐ ráo shù nǐ fù qīn shén zhī pú rén de guò fàn 。」 tā men duì yuē sè shuō zhè huà ， yuē sè jiù kū le 。

‘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.

他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前，说：「我们是你的仆人。」

tā de gē ge men yòu lái fǔ fú zài tā miàn qián ， shuō ：「 wǒ men shì nǐ de pú rén 。」

His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

约瑟对他们说：「不要害怕，我岂能代替 神呢？

yuē sè duì tā men shuō ：「 bú yào hài pà ， wǒ qǐ néng dài tì shén ne ？

Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

从前你们的意思是要害我，但 神的意思原是好的，要保全许多人的性命，成就今日的光景。

cóng qián nǐ men de yì sī shì yào hài wǒ ， dàn shén de yì sī yuán shì hǎo de ， yào bǎo quán xǔ duō rén de xìng mìng ， chéng jiù jīn rì de guāng jǐng 。

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

现在你们不要害怕，我必养活你们和你们的妇人孩子。」于是约瑟用亲爱的话安慰他们。

xiàn zài nǐ men bú yào hài pà ， wǒ bì yǎng huó nǐ men hé nǐ men de fù rén hái zi 。」 yú shì yuē sè yòng qīn ài de huà ān wèi tā men 。

Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

约瑟和他父亲的眷属都住在埃及。约瑟活了一百一十岁。

yuē sè hé tā fù qīn de juàn shǔ dōu zhù zài āi jí 。 yuē sè huó le yì bǎi yī shí suì 。

Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

约瑟得见以法莲第三代的子孙。玛拿西的孙子、玛吉的儿子也养在约瑟的膝上。

yuē sè dé jiàn yǐ fǎ lián dì sān dài de zǐ sūn 。 mǎ ná xī de sūn zi 、 mǎ jí de ér zi yě yǎng zài yuē sè de xī shàng 。

Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.

约瑟对他弟兄们说：「我要死了，但 神必定看顾你们，领你们从这地上去，到他起誓所应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地。」

yuē sè duì tā dì xiong men shuō ：「 wǒ yào sǐ le ， dàn shén bì dìng kàn gù nǐ men ， lǐng nǐ men cóng zhè dì shàng qù ， dào tā qǐ shì suǒ yīng xǔ gěi yà bó lā hǎn 、 yǐ sā 、 yǎ gè zhī dì 。」

Joseph 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.”

约瑟叫以色列的子孙起誓说：「 神必定看顾你们；你们要把我的骸骨从这里搬上去。」

yuē sè jiào yǐ sè liè de zǐ sūn qǐ shì shuō ：「 shén bì dìng kàn gù nǐ men ； nǐ men yào bǎ wǒ de hái gǔ cóng zhè lǐ bān shàng qù 。」

Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”

约瑟死了，正一百一十岁。人用香料将他薰了，把他收殓在棺材里，停在埃及。

yuē sè sǐ le ， zhèng yì bǎi yī shí suì 。 rén yòng xiāng liào jiāng tā xūn le ， bǎ tā shōu liàn zài guān cái lǐ ， tíng zài āi jí 。

So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
