创世记 48
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。
And it was after the things these and someone said to Joseph there! father your [is] sick and he took [the] two sons his with him Manasseh and Ephraim.
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。
And someone told to Jacob and he said here! son your Joseph he has come to you and he strengthened himself Israel and he sat on the bed.
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，
And he said Jacob to Joseph God Almighty he appeared to me at Luz in [the] land of Canaan and he blessed me.
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。’
And he said to me here I [am] about to make fruitful you and I will multiply you and I will make you a company of peoples and I will give the land this to offspring your after you a possession of perpetuity.
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。
And now [the] two sons your who were born to you in [the] land of Egypt until came I to you Egypt towards [belong] to me they Ephraim and Manasseh like Reuben and Simeon they will be[long] to me.
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。
And offspring your whom you have fathered after them to you they will be[long] on [the] name of brothers their they will be called in inheritance their.
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）。”
And I - when came I from Paddan she died on me Rachel in [the] land of Canaan on the journey at yet a distance of land to go Ephrathah and I buried her there on [the] journey of Ephrath that [is] Beth-lehem.
8 以色列看见约瑟的两个儿子，就说：“这是谁？”
And he saw Israel [the] sons of Joseph and he said who? [are] these.
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。”
And he said Joseph to father his [are] sons my they whom he has given to me God in this [place] and he said fetch them please to me so I may bless 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。
And [the] eyes of Israel they were heavy from old age not he was able to see and he brought near them to him and he kissed them and he embraced them.
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。”
And he said Israel to Joseph to see face your not I judged and here! he has shown me God also offspring your.
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。
And he took Joseph them from with knees his and he bowed down to face his [the] ground towards.
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。
And he took Joseph [the] two of them Ephraim at right [hand] his from [the] left of Israel and Manasseh at left [hand] his from [the] right of Israel and he brought [them] near to him.
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）。
And he stretched out Israel right [hand] his and he put [it] on [the] head of Ephraim and he [was] the young and left [hand] his on [the] head of Manasseh he laid cross-wise hands his for Manasseh [was] the firstborn.
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，
And he blessed Joseph and he said God whom they walked about fathers my before him Abraham and Isaac God who shepherded me from duration my until the day this.
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。”
The angel who has redeemed me from all harm may he bless the lads and may it be called in them name my and [the] name of fathers my Abraham and Isaac and may they multiply to abundance in [the] midst of the earth.
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。
And he saw Joseph that he will put father his [the] hand of right his on [the] head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in view his and he grasped [the] hand of father his to remove it from on [the] head of Ephraim on [the] head of Manasseh.
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。”
And he said Joseph to father his not thus O father my for this [is] the firstborn put right [hand] your on head his.
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。”
And he refused father his and he said I know O son my I know also he he will become a people and also he he will become great and but brother his young he will become great more than him and offspring his it will be [the] fullness of the nations.
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。
And he blessed them on the day that saying by you it will bless Israel saying may he make you God like Ephraim and like Manasseh and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
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。
And he said Israel to Joseph here! I [am] about to die and he will be God with you and he will bring back you to [the] land of fathers your.
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。”
And I I give to you a shoulder one over brothers your which I took from [the] hand of the Amorite[s] by sword my and by bow my.
