47:18那一年过去,第二年他们又来见约瑟,说,我们不瞒我主,我们的银子都花尽了,牲畜也都归了我主。我们在我主眼前,除了我们的身体和田地之外,一无所剩。
When that year was ended; they came unto him the second year; and said unto him; We will not hide it from my lord; how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord; but our bodies; and our lands:
47:19你何忍见我们人死地荒呢。求你用粮食买我们的我们的地,我们和我们的地就要给法老效力。又求你给我们种子,使我们得以存活,不至死亡,地土也不至荒凉。
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes; both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread; and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed; that we may live; and not die; that the land be not desolate。
47:20于是,约瑟为法老买了埃及所有的地,埃及人因被饥荒所迫,各都卖了自己的田地。那地就都归了法老。
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field; because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's。
47:21至于百姓,约瑟叫他们,从埃及赦边直到埃及那边,都各归各城。
And as for the people; he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof。
47:22惟有祭司的地,约瑟没有买,因为祭司有从法老所得的常俸。他们吃法老所给的常俸,所以他们不卖自己的地。
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh; and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands。
47:23约瑟对百姓说,我今日为法老买了你们和你们的地,看哪,这里有种子给你们,你们可以种地。
Then Joseph said unto the people; Behold; I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo; here is seed for you; and ye shall sow the land。
47:24后来打粮食的时候,你们要把五分之一纳给法老,四分可以归你们作地里的种子,也作你们和你们家口孩童的食物。
And it shall e to pass in the increase; that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh; and four parts shall be your own; for seed of the field; and for your food; and for them of your households; and for food for your little ones。
47:25他们说,你救了我们的性命。但愿我们在我主眼前蒙恩,我们就作法老的仆人。
And they said; Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord; and we will be Pharaoh's servants。
47:26于是约瑟为埃及地定下常例,直到今日,法老必得五分之一,惟独祭司的地不归法老。
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day; that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only; which became not Pharaoh's。
47:27以色列人住在埃及的歌珊地。他们在那里置了产业,并且生育甚多。
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt; in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein; and grew; and multiplied exceedingly。
47:28雅各住在埃及地十七年,雅各平生的年日是一百四十七岁。
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years。
47:29以色列的死期临近了,他就叫了他儿子约瑟来,说,我若在你眼前蒙恩,请你把手放在我大腿底下,用慈爱和诚实待我,请你不要将我葬在埃及。
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph; and said unto him; If now I have found grace in thy sight; put; I pray thee; thy hand under my thigh; and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not; I pray thee; in Egypt:
47:30我与我祖我父同睡的时候,你要将我带出埃及,葬在他们所葬的地方。约瑟说,我必遵着你的命而行。
But I will lie with my fathers; and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt; and bury me in their buryingplace。 And he said; I will do as thou hast said。
47:31雅各说,你要向我起誓。约瑟就向他起了誓,于是以色列在床头上(或作扶着杖头)敬拜神。
And he said; Swear unto me。 And he sware unto him。 And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head。
旧约 创世记(Genesis) 第 48 章 ( 本篇共有 50 章 ) 7上一章 下一章8 目录
48:1这事以后,有人告诉约瑟说,你的父亲病了。他就带着两个儿子玛拿西和以法莲同去。
And it came to pass after these things; that one told Joseph; Behold; thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons; Manasseh and Ephraim。
48:2有人告诉雅各说,请看,你儿子约瑟到你这里来了。以色列就勉强在床上坐起来。
And one told Jacob; and said; Behold; thy son Joseph eth unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself; and sat upon the bed。
48:3雅各对约瑟说,全能的神曾在迦南地的路斯向我显现,赐福与我,
And Jacob said unto Joseph; God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan; and blessed me;
48:4对我说,我必使你生养众多,成为多民,又要把这地赐给你的后裔,永远为业。
And said unto me; Behold; I will make thee fruitful; and multiply thee; and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession。
48:5我未到埃及见你之先,你在埃及地所生的以法莲和玛拿西这两个儿子是我的,正如流便和西缅是我的一样。
And now thy two sons; Ephraim and Manasseh; which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt; are mine; as Reuben and Simeon; they shall be mine。
48:6你在他们以后所生的就是你的,他们可以归于他们弟兄的名下得产业。
And thy issue; which thou begettest after them; shall be thine; and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance。
48:7至于我,我从巴旦来的时候,拉结死在我眼前,在迦南地的路上,离以法他还有一段路程,我就把她葬在以法他的路上。以法他就是伯利恒。
And as for me; when I came from Padan; Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way; when yet there was but a little way to e unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem。
48:8以色列看见约瑟的两个儿子,就说,这是谁,
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons; and said; Who are these?
48:9约瑟对他父亲说,这是神在这里赐给我的儿子。以色列说,请你领他们到我跟前,我要给他们祝福。
And Joseph said unto his father; They are my sons; whom God hath given me in this place。 And he said; Bring them; I pray thee; unto me; and I will bless them。
48:10以色列年纪老迈,眼睛昏花,不能看见。约瑟领他们到他跟前,他就和他们亲嘴,抱着他们。
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age; so that he could not see。 And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them; and embraced them。
48:11以色列对约瑟说,我想不到得见你的面,不料,神又使我得见你的儿子。
And Israel said unto Joseph; I had not thought to see thy face: and; lo; God hath shewed me also thy seed。
48:12约瑟把两个儿子从以色列两膝中领出来,自己就脸伏于地下拜。
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth。
48:13随后,约瑟又拉着他们两个,以法莲在他的右手里,对着以色列的左手,玛拿西在他的左手里,对着以色列的右手,领他们到以色列的跟前。
And Joseph took them both; Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand; and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand; and brought them near unto him。
48:14以色列伸出右手来,按在以法莲的头上,以法莲乃是次子。又剪搭过左手来,按在玛拿西的头上,玛拿西原是长子。
And Israel stretched out his right hand; and laid it upon Ephraim's head; who was the younger; and his left hand upon Manasseh's head; guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn。
48:15他就给约瑟祝福说,愿我祖亚伯拉罕和我父以撒所事奉的神,就是一生牧养我直到今日的神,
And he blessed Joseph; and said; God; before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did
