Genesis 45
1 And Joseph has not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calls, “Put out every man from me”; and no man has stood with him when Joseph makes himself known to his brothers,
约瑟在左右站着的人面前情不自禁，吩咐一声说：“人都要离开我出去！”约瑟和弟兄们相认的时候并没有一人站在他面前。
2 and he gives forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh hears.
他就放声大哭；埃及人和法老家中的人都听见了。
3 And Joseph says to his brothers, “I [am] Joseph, is my father yet alive?” And his brothers have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.
约瑟对他弟兄们说：“我是约瑟。我的父亲还在吗？”他弟兄不能回答，因为在他面前都惊惶。
4 And Joseph says to his brothers, “Please come near to me,” and they come near; and he says, “I [am] your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt;
约瑟又对他弟兄们说：“请你们近前来。”他们就近前来。他说：“我是你们的兄弟约瑟，就是你们所卖到埃及的。
5 and now, do not be grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that you sold me here, for God has sent me before you to preserve life.
现在，不要因为把我卖到这里自忧自恨。这是 神差我在你们以先来，为要保全生命。
6 Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet five years [remain in] which there is neither plowing nor harvest;
现在这地的饥荒已经二年了，还有五年不能耕种，不能收成。
7 and God sends me before you, to place a remnant of you in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;
神差我在你们以先来，为要给你们存留余种在世上，又要大施拯救，保全你们的生命。
8 and now, you have not sent me here, but God, and He sets me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
这样看来，差我到这里来的不是你们，乃是 神。他又使我如法老的父，作他全家的主，并埃及全地的宰相。
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, then you have said to him, Thus said your son Joseph: God has set me for lord to all Egypt; come down to me, do not stay,
你们要赶紧上到我父亲那里，对他说：‘你儿子约瑟这样说： 神使我作全埃及的主，请你下到我这里来，不要耽延。
10 and you have dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near to me, you and your sons, and your son’s sons, and your flock, and your herd, and all that you have,
你和你的儿子孙子，连牛群羊群，并一切所有的，都可以住在歌珊地，与我相近。
11 and I have nourished you there—for yet [are] five years of famine—lest you become poor, you and your household, and all that you have.
我要在那里奉养你；因为还有五年的饥荒，免得你和你的眷属，并一切所有的，都败落了。’
12 And behold, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking to you;
况且你们的眼和我兄弟便雅悯的眼都看见是我亲口对你们说话。
13 and you have declared to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all that you have seen, and you have hurried, and have brought down my father here.”
你们也要将我在埃及一切的荣耀和你们所看见的事都告诉我父亲，又要赶紧地将我父亲搬到我这里来。”
14 And he falls on the neck of his brother Benjamin, and weeps, and Benjamin has wept on his neck;
于是约瑟伏在他兄弟便雅悯的颈项上哭，便雅悯也在他的颈项上哭。
15 and he kisses all his brothers, and weeps over them; and afterward his brothers have spoken with him.
他又与众弟兄亲嘴，抱着他们哭，随后他弟兄们就和他说话。
16 And the sound has been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Joseph have come”; and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,
这风声传到法老的宫里，说：“约瑟的弟兄们来了。”法老和他的臣仆都很喜欢。
17 and Pharaoh says to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, This you do: load your beasts, and go, enter the land of Canaan,
法老对约瑟说：“你吩咐你的弟兄们说：‘你们要这样行：把驮子抬在牲口上，起身往迦南地去。
18 and take your father, and your households, and come to me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and you eat the fat of the land.
将你们的父亲和你们的眷属都搬到我这里来，我要把埃及地的美物赐给你们，你们也要吃这地肥美的出产。
19 Indeed, you have been commanded: this you do, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, wagons for your infants, and for your wives, and you have brought your father, and come;
现在我吩咐你们要这样行：从埃及地带着车辆去，把你们的孩子和妻子，并你们的父亲都搬来。
20 and your eye has no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.”
你们眼中不要爱惜你们的家具，因为埃及全地的美物都是你们的。’”
21 And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph gives wagons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he gives to them provision for the way;
以色列的儿子们就如此行。约瑟照着法老的吩咐给他们车辆和路上用的食物，
22 to all of them has he given—to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he has given three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of garments;
又给他们各人一套衣服，惟独给便雅悯三百银子，五套衣服；
23 and to his father he has sent thus: ten donkeys carrying of the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread, even food for his father for the way.
送给他父亲公驴十匹，驮着埃及的美物，母驴十匹，驮着粮食与饼和菜，为他父亲路上用。
24 And he sends his brothers away, and they go; and he says to them, “Do not be angry in the way.”
于是约瑟打发他弟兄们回去，又对他们说：“你们不要在路上相争。”
25 And they go up out of Egypt, and come to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob,
他们从埃及上去，来到迦南地、他们的父亲雅各那里，
26 and they declare to him, saying, “Joseph [is] yet alive,” and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceases, for he has not given credence to them.
告诉他说：“约瑟还在，并且作埃及全地的宰相。”雅各心里冰凉，因为不信他们。
27 And they speak to him all the words of Joseph, which he has spoken to them, and he sees the wagons which Joseph has sent to carry him away, and the spirit of their father Jacob lives;
他们便将约瑟对他们说的一切话都告诉了他。他们父亲雅各又看见约瑟打发来接他的车辆，心就苏醒了。
28 and Israel says, “Enough! My son Joseph [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.”
以色列说：“罢了！罢了！我的儿子约瑟还在，趁我未死以先，我要去见他一面。”
