创世记 45
1 约瑟在左右站着的人面前情不自禁，吩咐一声说：“人都要离开我出去！”约瑟和弟兄们相认的时候并没有一人站在他面前。
And Ioseph coude no longer refrayne before all them that stode aboute him but commaunded that they shuld goo all out from him and that there shuld be no man with him whyle he vttred him selfe vnto his brethern.
2 他就放声大哭；埃及人和法老家中的人都听见了。
And he wepte alowde so that the Egiptians and the house of Pharao herde it.
3 约瑟对他弟兄们说：“我是约瑟。我的父亲还在吗？”他弟兄不能回答，因为在他面前都惊惶。
And he sayde vnto his brethern: I am Ioseph: doth my father yet lyue? But his brethern coude not answere him for they were abasshed at his presence.
4 约瑟又对他弟兄们说：“请你们近前来。”他们就近前来。他说：“我是你们的兄弟约瑟，就是你们所卖到埃及的。
And Ioseph sayde vnto his brethern: come nere to me and they came nere. And he sayde: I am Ioseph youre brother whom ye sold in to Egipte.
5 现在，不要因为把我卖到这里自忧自恨。这是 神差我在你们以先来，为要保全生命。
And now be not greued therwith nether let it seme a cruel thinge in youre eyes that ye solde me hither. For God dyd send me before you to saue lyfe.
6 现在这地的饥荒已经二年了，还有五年不能耕种，不能收成。
For this is the seconde yere of derth in the lande and fyue moo are behynde in which there shall nether be earynge nor hervest.
7 神差我在你们以先来，为要给你们存留余种在世上，又要大施拯救，保全你们的生命。
Wherfore God sent me before you to make prouision that ye myghte continue in the erth and to save youre lyues by a greate delyuerance.
8 这样看来，差我到这里来的不是你们，乃是 神。他又使我如法老的父，作他全家的主，并埃及全地的宰相。
So now it was not ye that sent me hither but God: and he hath made me father vnto Pharao and lorde ouer all his house and rueler in all the land of Egipte.
9 你们要赶紧上到我父亲那里，对他说：‘你儿子约瑟这样说： 神使我作全埃及的主，请你下到我这里来，不要耽延。
Hast you ad goo to my father and tell him this sayeth thy sonne Ioseph: God hath made me lorde ouer all Egipte. Come downe vnto me and tarye not
10 你和你的儿子孙子，连牛群羊群，并一切所有的，都可以住在歌珊地，与我相近。
And thou shalt dwell in the londe of Gosan and be by me: both thou and thi childern and thi childerns childern: and thy shepe and beestes and all that thou hast.
11 我要在那里奉养你；因为还有五年的饥荒，免得你和你的眷属，并一切所有的，都败落了。’
There will I make provision for the: for there remayne yet v yeres of derth lest thou and thi houshold and all that thou hast perish.
12 况且你们的眼和我兄弟便雅悯的眼都看见是我亲口对你们说话。
Beholde youre eyes do se and the eyes also of my brother Ben Iamin that I speake to you by mouth.
13 你们也要将我在埃及一切的荣耀和你们所看见的事都告诉我父亲，又要赶紧地将我父亲搬到我这里来。”
Therfore tell my father of all my honoure which I haue in Egipte and of all that ye haue sene ad make hast and brynge in father hither.
14 于是约瑟伏在他兄弟便雅悯的颈项上哭，便雅悯也在他的颈项上哭。
And he fell on his brother Ben Iamis necke and wepte and Ben Iamin wepte on his necke.
15 他又与众弟兄亲嘴，抱着他们哭，随后他弟兄们就和他说话。
Moreouer he fylled all his brethern and wepte apon them. And after that his brethern talked with him.
16 这风声传到法老的宫里，说：“约瑟的弟兄们来了。”法老和他的臣仆都很喜欢。
And when the tidynges was come vnto Pharaos housse that Iosephes brethern were come it pleased Pharao well and all his seruauntes.
17 法老对约瑟说：“你吩咐你的弟兄们说：‘你们要这样行：把驮子抬在牲口上，起身往迦南地去。
And Pharao spake vnto Ioseph: saye vnto thy brethern this do ye: lade youre beestes ad get you hence And when ye be come vnto the londe of Canaan
18 将你们的父亲和你们的眷属都搬到我这里来，我要把埃及地的美物赐给你们，你们也要吃这地肥美的出产。
take youre father and youre housholdes and come vnto me and I will geue you the beste of the lande of Egipte and ye shall eate the fatt of the londe.
19 现在我吩咐你们要这样行：从埃及地带着车辆去，把你们的孩子和妻子，并你们的父亲都搬来。
And commaunded also. This do ye: take charettes with you out of the lande of Egipte for youre childern and for youre wyues: and brynge youre father and come.
20 你们眼中不要爱惜你们的家具，因为埃及全地的美物都是你们的。’”
Also regarde not youre stuff for the goodes of all the londe of Egipte shalbe youres.
21 以色列的儿子们就如此行。约瑟照着法老的吩咐给他们车辆和路上用的食物，
And the childern of Israell dyd euen so And Ioseph gaue them charettes at the commaundment of Pharao and gaue them vitayle also to spende by the waye.
22 又给他们各人一套衣服，惟独给便雅悯三百银子，五套衣服；
And he gaue vnto eche of them chaunge of rayment: but vnto Ben Iamin he gaue. iij. hundred peces of syluer and. v. chaunge of rayment.
23 送给他父亲公驴十匹，驮着埃及的美物，母驴十匹，驮着粮食与饼和菜，为他父亲路上用。
And vnto his father he sent after the same maner: x. he asses laden with good out of Egipte and. x. she asses laden with corne bred and meate: to serue his father by the waye.
24 于是约瑟打发他弟兄们回去，又对他们说：“你们不要在路上相争。”
So sent he his brethern awaye and they departed. And he sayde vnto them: se that ye fall nor out by the waye.
25 他们从埃及上去，来到迦南地、他们的父亲雅各那里，
And they departed from Egipte and came in to the land of Canaan vnto Iacob their father and told him saynge.
26 告诉他说：“约瑟还在，并且作埃及全地的宰相。”雅各心里冰凉，因为不信他们。
Ioseph is yet a lyue and is gouerner ouer all the land of Egipte. And Iacobs hert wauered for he beleued tho not.
27 他们便将约瑟对他们说的一切话都告诉了他。他们父亲雅各又看见约瑟打发来接他的车辆，心就苏醒了。
And they tolde him all the wordes of Ioseph which he had sayde vnto them. But when he sawe the charettes which Ioseph had sent to carie him then his sprites reviued.
28 以色列说：“罢了！罢了！我的儿子约瑟还在，趁我未死以先，我要去见他一面。”
And Israel sayde. I haue ynough yf Ioseph my sonne be yet alyue: I will goo and se him yer that I dye.
