創世記 50
1 約瑟伏在他父親的面上哀哭，與他親嘴。
Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
2 約瑟吩咐伺候他的醫生用香料薰他父親，醫生就用香料薰了以色列。
And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
3 薰屍的常例是四十天；那四十天滿了，埃及人為他哀哭了七十天。
So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes.
4 為他哀哭的日子過了，約瑟對法老家中的人說：「我若在你們眼前蒙恩，請你們報告法老說：
And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say,
5 『我父親要死的時候叫我起誓說：你要將我葬在迦南地，在我為自己所掘的墳墓裏。』現在求你讓我上去葬我父親，以後我必回來。」
My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe.
6 法老說：「你可以上去，照着你父親叫你起的誓，將他葬埋。」
Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
7 於是約瑟上去葬他父親。與他一同上去的，有法老的臣僕和法老家中的長老，並埃及國的長老，
So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
8 還有約瑟的全家和他的弟兄們，並他父親的眷屬；只有他們的婦人孩子，和羊群牛群，都留在歌珊地。
Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen.
9 又有車輛馬兵，和他一同上去；那一幫人甚多。
And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
10 他們到了約旦河外、亞達的禾場，就在那裏大大地號咷痛哭。約瑟為他父親哀哭了七天。
And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes.
11 迦南的居民見亞達禾場上的哀哭，就說：「這是埃及人一場極大的哀哭。」因此那地方名叫亞伯‧麥西，是在約旦河東。
And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden.
12 雅各的兒子們就遵着他父親所吩咐的辦了，
So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
13 把他搬到迦南地，葬在幔利前、麥比拉田間的洞裏；那洞和田是亞伯拉罕向赫人以弗崙買來為業，作墳地的。
For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre.
14 約瑟葬了他父親以後，就和眾弟兄，並一切同他上去葬他父親的人，都回埃及去了。
Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father.
15 約瑟的哥哥們見父親死了，就說：「或者約瑟懷恨我們，照着我們從前待他一切的惡足足地報復我們。」
And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him.
16 他們就打發人去見約瑟，說：「你父親未死以先吩咐說：
Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
17 『你們要對約瑟這樣說：從前你哥哥們惡待你，求你饒恕他們的過犯和罪惡。』如今求你饒恕你父親上帝之僕人的過犯。」他們對約瑟說這話，約瑟就哭了。
Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him.
18 他的哥哥們又來俯伏在他面前，說：「我們是你的僕人。」
Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
19 約瑟對他們說：「不要害怕，我豈能代替上帝呢？
To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
20 從前你們的意思是要害我，但上帝的意思原是好的，要保全許多人的性命，成就今日的光景。
When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue.
21 現在你們不要害怕，我必養活你們和你們的婦人孩子。」於是約瑟用親愛的話安慰他們。
Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
22 約瑟和他父親的眷屬都住在埃及。約瑟活了一百一十歲。
So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
23 約瑟得見以法蓮第三代的子孫。瑪拿西的孫子、瑪吉的兒子也養在約瑟的膝上。
And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees.
24 約瑟對他弟兄們說：「我要死了，但上帝必定看顧你們，領你們從這地上去，到他起誓所應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地。」
And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob.
25 約瑟叫以色列的子孫起誓說：「上帝必定看顧你們；你們要把我的骸骨從這裏搬上去。」
And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
26 約瑟死了，正一百一十歲。人用香料將他薰了，把他收殮在棺材裏，停在埃及。
So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
