创世记 50
1 约瑟伏在他父亲的面上哀哭，与他亲嘴。
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept on him, and kissed him.
2 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。
And Joseph commanded his servants the embalmers to embalm his father; and the embalmers embalmed Israel.
3 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。
And they fulfilled forty days for him, for so are the days of embalming numbered; and Egypt mourned for him seventy days.
4 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：
And when the days of mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the princes of Pharao, saying, If I have found favor in your sight, speak concerning me in the ears of Pharao, saying,
5 ‘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。”
My father adjured me, saying, In the sepulchre which I dug for myself in the land of Chanaan, there you shall bury me; now then I will go up and bury my father, and return again.
6 法老说：“你可以上去，照着你父亲叫你起的誓，将他葬埋。”
And Pharao said to Joseph, Go up, bury your father, as he constrained you to swear.
7 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，
So Joseph went up to bury his father; and all the servants of Pharao went up with him, and the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
8 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。
And all the household of Joseph, and his brethren, and all the house of his father, and his kindred; and they left behind the sheep and the oxen in the land of Gesem.
9 又有车辆马兵，和他一同上去；那一帮人甚多。
And there went up with him also chariots and horsemen; and there was a very great company.
10 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。
And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and they bewailed him with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 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。
And the inhabitants of the land of Chanaan saw the mourning at the floor of Atad, and said, This is a great mourning to the Egyptians; therefore he called its name, The mourning of Egypt, which is beyond Jordan.
12 雅各的儿子们就遵着他父亲所吩咐的办了，
And thus his sons did to him.
13 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。
So his sons carried him up into the land of Chanaan, and buried him in the double cave, which cave Abraam bought for possession of a burying place, of Ephrom the Chettite, before Mambre.
14 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。
And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brethren, and those that had gone up with him to bury his father.
15 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。”
And when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said, [Let us take heed], lest at any time Joseph remember evil against us, and recompense to us all the evils which we have done against him.
16 他们就打发人去见约瑟，说：“你父亲未死以先吩咐说：
And they came to Joseph, and said, Your father adjured [us] before his death, saying,
17 ‘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。
Thus say you to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done you evil; and now pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.
18 他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前，说：“我们是你的仆人。”
And they came to him and said, We, these [persons], are your servants.
19 约瑟对他们说：“不要害怕，我岂能代替 神呢？
And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God's.
20 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。
You took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that [the matter] might be as [it is] today, and much people might be fed.
21 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。
And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22 约瑟和他父亲的眷属都住在埃及。约瑟活了一百一十岁。
And Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his brethren, and all the family of his father; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
23 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。
And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.
24 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。”
And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.
25 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。”
And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then you shall carry up my bones hence with you.
26 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。
And Joseph died, aged an hundred and ten years; and they prepared his corpse, and put him in a coffin in Egypt.
