创世记 47
1 约瑟进去告诉法老说：“我的父亲和我的弟兄带着羊群牛群，并一切所有的，从迦南地来了，如今在歌珊地。”
And he went Joseph and he told to Pharaoh and he said father my and brothers my and flock[s] their and herd[s] their and all that [belongs] to them they have come from [the] land of Canaan and there they [are] in [the] land of Goshen.
2 约瑟从他弟兄中挑出五个人来，引他们去见法老。
And from [the] end of brothers his he took five men and he presented them before Pharaoh.
3 法老问约瑟的弟兄说：“你们以何事为业？”他们对法老说：“你仆人是牧羊的，连我们的祖宗也是牧羊的。”
And he said Pharaoh to brothers his what? [are] work your and they said to Pharaoh [are] herder[s] of sheep servants your both we as well as fathers our.
4 他们又对法老说：“迦南地的饥荒甚大，仆人的羊群没有草吃，所以我们来到这地寄居。现在求你容仆人住在歌珊地。”
And they said to Pharaoh to sojourn in the land we have come for there not [is] pasture for the sheep which [belongs] to servants your for [was] heavy the famine in [the] land of Canaan and therefore let them dwell please servants your in [the] land of Goshen.
5 法老对约瑟说：“你父亲和你弟兄到你这里来了，
And he said Pharaoh to Joseph saying father your and brothers your they have come to you.
6 埃及地都在你面前，只管叫你父亲和你弟兄住在国中最好的地；他们可以住在歌珊地。你若知道他们中间有什么能人，就派他们看管我的牲畜。”
[the] land of Egypt [is] before you it in [the] best of the land cause to dwell father your and brothers your let them dwell in [the] land of Goshen and if you know and there among them [are] men of ability and you will appoint them overseers of livestock over [that] which [belongs] to me.
7 约瑟领他父亲雅各进到法老面前，雅各就给法老祝福。
And he brought Joseph Jacob father his and he made stand him before Pharaoh and he blessed Jacob Pharaoh.
8 法老问雅各说：“你平生的年日是多少呢？”
And he said Pharaoh to Jacob how many? [are] [the] days of [the] years of life your.
9 雅各对法老说：“我寄居在世的年日是一百三十岁，我平生的年日又少又苦，不及我列祖在世寄居的年日。”
And he said Jacob to Pharaoh [the] days of [the] years of sojournings my [are] thirty and one hundred year[s] few and displeasing they have been [the] days of [the] years of life my and not they have reached [the] days of [the] years of [the] lives of ancestors my in [the] days of sojournings their.
10 雅各又给法老祝福，就从法老面前出去了。
And he blessed Jacob Pharaoh and he went out from to before Pharaoh.
11 约瑟遵着法老的命，把埃及国最好的地，就是兰塞境内的地，给他父亲和弟兄居住，作为产业。
And he caused to dwell Joseph father his and brothers his and he gave to them a possession in [the] land of Egypt in [the] best of the land in [the] land of Rameses just as he had commanded Pharaoh.
12 约瑟用粮食奉养他父亲和他弟兄，并他父亲全家的眷属，都是照各家的人口奉养他们。
And he provided for Joseph father his and brothers his and all [the] household of father his food to [the] mouth of the little one[s].
13 饥荒甚大，全地都绝了粮，甚至埃及地和迦南地的人因那饥荒的缘故都饿昏了。
And [was] food there not in all the land for [was] heavy the famine very and it languished [the] land of Egypt and [the] land of Canaan because of the famine.
14 约瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子，就是众人籴粮的银子，约瑟就把那银子带到法老的宫里。
And he gathered up Joseph all the money which was found in [the] land of Egypt and in [the] land of Canaan for the grain which they [were] buying grain and he brought Joseph the money [the] house of towards Pharaoh.
15 埃及地和迦南地的银子都花尽了，埃及众人都来见约瑟，说：“我们的银子都用尽了，求你给我们粮食，我们为什么死在你面前呢？”
And it was finished the money from [the] land of Egypt and from [the] land of Canaan and they came all Egypt to Joseph saying give! to us food and why? will we die before you for it has come to an end money.
16 约瑟说：“若是银子用尽了，可以把你们的牲畜给我，我就为你们的牲畜给你们粮食。”
And he said Joseph give livestock your so let me give [it] to you for livestock your if it has come to an end money.
17 于是他们把牲畜赶到约瑟那里，约瑟就拿粮食换了他们的牛、羊、驴、马；那一年因换他们一切的牲畜，就用粮食养活他们。
And they brought livestock their to Joseph and he gave to them Joseph food for the horses and for [the] livestock of the flock[s] and for [the] livestock of the herd[s] and for the donkeys and he refreshed them with food for all livestock their in the year that.
18 那一年过去，第二年他们又来见约瑟，说：“我们不瞒我主，我们的银子都花尽了，牲畜也都归了我主。我们在我主眼前，除了我们的身体和田地之外，一无所剩。
And it was finished the year that and they came to him in the year second and they said to him not we will hide from lord my that except it has been finished the money and [the] livestock of the cattle [is] to lord my not it is left before lord my except body our and land our.
19 你何忍见我们人死地荒呢？求你用粮食买我们和我们的地，我们和我们的地就要给法老效力。又求你给我们种子，使我们得以存活，不至死亡，地土也不至荒凉。”
Why? will we die to eyes your both we as well as land our buy us and land our for food so we may be we and land our slaves of Pharaoh and give seed so we may live and not we will die and the land not it will be desolate.
20 于是，约瑟为法老买了埃及所有的地，埃及人因被饥荒所迫，各都卖了自己的田地；那地就都归了法老。
And he bought Joseph all [the] land of Egypt to Pharaoh for they sold Egypt everyone field his for it was severe on them the famine and it be[longed] the land to Pharaoh.
21 至于百姓，约瑟叫他们，从埃及这边直到埃及那边，都各归各城。
And the people he brought in it to the cities from [the] end of [the] territory of Egypt and to end its.
22 惟有祭司的地，约瑟没有买，因为祭司有从法老所得的常俸。他们吃法老所给的常俸，所以他们不卖自己的地。
Only [the] land of the priests not he bought for an allowance [belonged] to the priests from with Pharaoh and they eat allowance their which he gave to them Pharaoh there-fore not they sold land their.
23 约瑟对百姓说：“我今日为法老买了你们和你们的地，看哪，这里有种子给你们，你们可以种地。
And he said Joseph to the people here! I have bought you this day and land your for Pharaoh here! for you [is] seed and you will sow the land.
24 后来打粮食的时候，你们要把五分之一纳给法老，四分可以归你们做地里的种子，也做你们和你们家口孩童的食物。”
And it will be at the harvest and you will give a fifth to Pharaoh and [the] four the hands it will be[long] to you to [the] seed of the field and to food your and for [those] who [are] in households your and to eat for little one[s] your.
25 他们说：“你救了我们的性命。但愿我们在我主眼前蒙恩，我们就作法老的仆人。”
And they said you have preserved alive us may we find favor in [the] eyes of lord my and we will be slaves of Pharaoh.
26 于是约瑟为埃及地定下常例，直到今日：法老必得五分之一，惟独祭司的地不归法老。
And he established it Joseph to a statute until the day this on [the] land of Egypt [belongs] to Pharaoh to the fifth part only [the] land of the priests to alone them not it belonged to Pharaoh.
27 以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他们在那里置了产业，并且生育甚多。
And he dwelt Israel in [the] land of Egypt in [the] land of Goshen and they had possessions in it and they were fruitful and they multiplied exceedingly.
28 雅各住在埃及地十七年，雅各平生的年日是一百四十七岁。
And he lived Jacob in [the] land of Egypt seven-teen year[s] and it was [the] days of Jacob [the] years of life his seven years and forty and one hundred year[s].
29 以色列的死期临近了，他就叫了他儿子约瑟来，说：“我若在你眼前蒙恩，请你把手放在我大腿底下，用慈爱和诚实待我，请你不要将我葬在埃及。
And they drew near [the] days of Israel to die and he summoned - son his Joseph and he said to him if please I have found favor in view your put please hand your under thigh my and you will do with me loyalty and faithfulness may not please you bury me in Egypt.
30 我与我祖我父同睡的时候，你要将我带出埃及，葬在他们所葬的地方。”约瑟说：“我必遵着你的命而行。”
And I will lie down with ancestors my and you will carry me from Egypt and you will bury me in grave their and he said I I will do according to word your.
31 雅各说：“你要向我起誓。”约瑟就向他起了誓，于是以色列在床头上敬拜 神。
And he said swear an oath! to me and he swore an oath to him and he bowed down Israel on [the] head of the bed.
