創世記 50
1 約瑟伏在他父親的面上哀哭，與他親嘴。
And Joseph falleth on his father's face, and weepeth over him, and kisseth 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 Joseph commandeth his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the physicians embalm 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。
and they fulfil for him forty days, for so they fulfil the days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy days.
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 the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaketh unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, 'If, I pray you, I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
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 caused me to swear, saying, Lo, I am dying; in my burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of Canaan, there dost thou bury me; and now, let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and return;'
6 法老說：「你可以上去，照着你父親叫你起的誓，將他葬埋。」
and Pharaoh saith, 'Go up and bury thy father, as he caused thee to swear.'
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，
And Joseph goeth up to bury his father, and go up with him do all the servants of Pharaoh, 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。
and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and their herd, have they left 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 go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the camp is very great.
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 come unto the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great and very grievous; and he maketh for his father a mourning seven days,
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 the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, see the mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad, and say, 'A grievous mourning [is] this to the Egyptians;' therefore hath [one] called its name 'The mourning of the Egyptians,' which [is] beyond the Jordan.
12 雅各的兒子們就遵着他父親所吩咐的辦了，
And his sons do to him so as he 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。
and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, on the front of 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。
And Joseph turneth back to Egypt, he and his brethren, and all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his burying 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 the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, 'Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with him.'
16 他們就打發人去見約瑟，說：「你父親未死以先吩咐說：
And they give a charge for Joseph, 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 ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him.
18 他的哥哥們又來俯伏在他面前，說：「我們是你的僕人。」
And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, 'Lo, we [are] to thee for servants.'
19 約瑟對他們說：「不要害怕，我豈能代替上帝呢？
And Joseph saith unto them, 'Fear not, for [am] I in the place of 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。
As for you, ye devised against me evil — God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
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。
and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.
22 約瑟和他父親的眷屬都住在埃及。約瑟活了一百一十歲。
And Joseph dwelleth in Egypt, he and the house of his father, and Joseph liveth a hundred and ten years,
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 Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been born on the knees of Joseph.
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 Joseph saith unto his brethren, 'I am dying, and God doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.'
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 Joseph causeth the sons of Israel to swear, saying, 'God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this [place].'
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。
And Joseph dieth, a son of an hundred and ten years, and they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.
