Genesis 48
1 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.
這事以後，有人告訴約瑟說：「你的父親病了。」他就帶着兩個兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮同去。
2 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.
有人告訴雅各說：「請看，你兒子約瑟到你這裏來了。」以色列就勉強在床上坐起來。
3 And he said Jacob to Joseph God Almighty he appeared to me at Luz in [the] land of Canaan and he blessed me.
雅各對約瑟說：「全能的上帝曾在迦南地的路斯向我顯現，賜福與我，
4 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.
對我說：『我必使你生養眾多，成為多民，又要把這地賜給你的後裔，永遠為業。』
5 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.
我未到埃及見你之先，你在埃及地所生的以法蓮和瑪拿西這兩個兒子是我的，正如呂便和西緬是我的一樣。
6 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.
你在他們以後所生的就是你的，他們可以歸於他們弟兄的名下得產業。
7 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.
至於我，我從巴旦來的時候，拉結死在我眼前，在迦南地的路上，離以法他還有一段路程，我就把她葬在以法他的路上（以法他就是伯利恆）。」
8 And he saw Israel [the] sons of Joseph and he said who? [are] these.
以色列看見約瑟的兩個兒子，就說：「這是誰？」
9 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.
約瑟對他父親說：「這是上帝在這裏賜給我的兒子。」以色列說：「請你領他們到我跟前，我要給他們祝福。」
10 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.
以色列年紀老邁，眼睛昏花，不能看見。約瑟領他們到他跟前，他就和他們親嘴，抱着他們。
11 And he said Israel to Joseph to see face your not I judged and here! he has shown me God also offspring your.
以色列對約瑟說：「我想不到得見你的面，不料，上帝又使我得見你的兒子。」
12 And he took Joseph them from with knees his and he bowed down to face his [the] ground towards.
約瑟把兩個兒子從以色列兩膝中領出來，自己就臉伏於地下拜。
13 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.
隨後，約瑟又拉着他們兩個，以法蓮在他的右手裏，對着以色列的左手，瑪拿西在他的左手裏，對着以色列的右手，領他們到以色列的跟前。
14 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.
以色列伸出右手來，按在以法蓮的頭上（以法蓮乃是次子），又剪搭過左手來，按在瑪拿西的頭上（瑪拿西原是長子）。
15 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.
他就給約瑟祝福說：「願我祖亞伯拉罕和我父以撒所事奉的上帝，就是一生牧養我直到今日的上帝，
16 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.
救贖我脫離一切患難的那使者，賜福與這兩個童子。願他們歸在我的名下和我祖亞伯拉罕、我父以撒的名下。又願他們在世界中生養眾多。」
17 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.
約瑟見他父親把右手按在以法蓮的頭上，就不喜悅，便提起他父親的手，要從以法蓮頭上挪到瑪拿西的頭上。
18 And he said Joseph to father his not thus O father my for this [is] the firstborn put right [hand] your on head his.
約瑟對他父親說：「我父，不是這樣。這本是長子，求你把右手按在他的頭上。」
19 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.
他父親不從，說：「我知道，我兒，我知道。他也必成為一族，也必昌大。只是他的兄弟將來比他還大；他兄弟的後裔要成為多族。」
20 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.
當日就給他們祝福說：「以色列人要指着你們祝福說：『願上帝使你如以法蓮、瑪拿西一樣。』」於是立以法蓮在瑪拿西以上。
21 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.
以色列又對約瑟說：「我要死了，但上帝必與你們同在，領你們回到你們列祖之地。
22 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.
並且我從前用弓用刀從亞摩利人手下奪的那塊地，我都賜給你，使你比眾弟兄多得一分。」
