20 约瑟在埃及地生了玛拿西和以法莲,就是安城的祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳给约瑟生的。
In Egypt; Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera; priest of On。
21 便雅悯的儿子是比拉,比结,亚实别,基拉,乃幔,以希,罗实,母平,户平,亚勒。
The sons of Benjamin: Bela; Beker; Ashbel; Gera; Naaman; Ehi; Rosh; Muppim; Huppim and Ard。
22 这是拉结给雅各所生的儿孙,共有十四人。
These were the sons of Rachel who were born to Jacobfourteen in all。
23 但的儿子是户伸。
The son of Dan: Hushim。
24 拿弗他利的儿子是雅薛,沽尼,耶色,示冷。
The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel; Guni; Jezer and Shillem。
25 这是拉班给他女儿拉结的婢女辟拉从雅各所生的儿孙,共有七人。
These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah; whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachelseven in all。
26 那与雅各同到埃及的,除了他儿妇之外,凡从他所生的,共有六十六人。
All those who went to Egypt with Jacobthose who were his direct descendants; not counting his sons' wivesnumbered sixty…six persons。
27 还有约瑟在埃及所生的两个儿子。雅各家来到埃及的共有七十人。
With the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt; the members of Jacob's family; which went to Egypt; were seventy in all。
28 雅各打发犹大先去见约瑟,请派人引路往歌珊去。于是他们来到歌珊地。
Now Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen。 When they arrived in the region of Goshen;
29 约瑟套车往歌珊去,迎接他父亲以色列,及至见了面,就伏在父亲的颈项上,哭了许久。
Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel。 As soon as Joseph appeared before him; he threw his arms around his father and wept for a long time。
30 以色列对约瑟说,我既得见你的面,知道你还在,就是死我也甘心。
Israel said to Joseph; 〃Now I am ready to die; since I have seen for myself that you are still alive。〃
31 约瑟对他的弟兄和他父的全家说,我要上去告诉法老,对他说,我的弟兄和我父的全家从前在迦南地,现今都到我这里来了。
Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household; 〃I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him; 'My brothers and my father's household; who were living in the land of Canaan; have e to me。
32 他们本是牧羊的人,以养牲畜为业。他们把羊群牛群和一切所有的都带来了。
The men are shepherds; they tend livestock; and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own。'
33 等法老召你们的时候,问你们说,你们以何事为业。
When Pharaoh calls you in and asks; 'What is your occupation?'
34 你们要说,你的仆人,从幼年直到如今,都以养牲畜为业,连我们的祖宗也都以此为业。这样,你们可以住在歌珊地,因为凡牧羊的都被埃及人所厌恶。
you should answer; 'Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on; just as our fathers did。' Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen; for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians。〃
1 约瑟进去告诉法老说,我的父亲和我的弟兄带着羊群牛群,并一切所有的,从迦南地来了,如今在歌珊地。
Joseph went and told Pharaoh; 〃My father and brothers; with their flocks and herds and everything they own; have e from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen。〃
2 约瑟从他弟兄中挑出五个人来,引他们去见法老。
He chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh。
3 法老问约瑟的弟兄说,你们以何事为业,他们对法老说,你仆人是牧羊的,连我们的祖宗也是牧羊的。
Pharaoh asked the brothers; 〃What is your occupation?〃 〃Your servants are shepherds;〃 they replied to Pharaoh; 〃just as our fathers were。〃
4 他们又对法老说,迦南地的饥荒甚大,仆人的羊群没有草吃,所以我们来到这地寄居。现在求你容仆人住在歌珊地。
They also said to him; 〃We have e to live here awhile; because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants' flocks have no pasture。 So now; please let your servants settle in Goshen。〃
5 法老对约瑟说,你父亲和你弟兄到你这里来了,
Pharaoh said to Joseph; 〃Your father and your brothers have e to you;
6 埃及地都在你面前,只管叫你父亲和你弟兄住在国中最好的地。他们可以住在歌珊地。你若知道他们中间有什么能人,就派他们看管我的牲畜。
and the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land。 Let them live in Goshen。 And if you know of any among them with special ability; put them in charge of my own livestock。〃
7 约瑟领他父亲雅各进到法老面前,雅各就给法老祝福。
Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him before Pharaoh。 After Jacob blessed Pharaoh;
8 法老问雅各说,你平生的年日是多少呢?
Pharaoh asked him; 〃How old are you?〃
9 雅各对法老说,我寄居在世的年日是一百三十岁,我平生的年日又少又苦,不及我列祖早在世寄居的年日。
And Jacob said to Pharaoh; 〃The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty。 My years have been few and difficult; and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers。〃
10 雅各又给法老祝福,就从法老面前出去了。
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence。
11 约瑟遵着法老的命,把埃及国最好的地,就是兰塞境内的地,给他父亲和弟兄居住,作为产业。
So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land; the district of Rameses; as Pharaoh directed。
12 约瑟用粮食奉养他父亲和他弟兄,并他父亲全家的眷属,都是照各家的人口奉养他们。
Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father's household with food; according to the number of their children。
13 饥荒甚大,全地都绝了粮,甚至埃及地和迦南地的人因那饥荒的缘故都饿昏了。
There was no food; however; in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine。
14 约瑟收聚了埃及地和迦南地所有的银子,就是众人籴粮的银子,约瑟就把那银子带到法老的宫里。
Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying; and he brought it to Pharaoh's palace。
15 埃及地和迦南地的银子都花尽了,埃及众人都来见约瑟,说,我们的银子都用尽了,求你给我们粮食,我们为什么死在你面前呢?
When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone; all Egypt came to Joseph and said; 〃Give us food。 Why should we die before your eyes? Our money is used up。〃
16 约瑟说,若是银子用尽了,可以把你们的牲畜给我,我就为你们的牲畜给你们粮食。
〃Then bring your livestock;〃 said Joseph。 〃I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock; since your money is gone。〃
17 于是他们把牲畜赶到约瑟那里,约瑟就拿粮食换了他们的牛,羊,驴,马。那一年因换他们一切的牲畜,就用粮食养活他们。
So they brought their livestock to Joseph; and he gave them food in exchange for their horses; their sheep and goats; their cattle and donkeys。 And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock。
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 over; they came to him the following year and said; 〃We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you; there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land。
19 你何忍见我们人死地荒呢?求你用粮食买我们和我们的地,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。
Why should we perish before your eyeswe and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food; and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh。 Give us seed so that we may live and not die; and that the land may not bee desolate。〃
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。
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh。 The Egyptians; one and all; sold their fields; because the famine was too severe for them。 The land became Pharaoh's;
21 至于百姓,约瑟叫他们,从埃及这边直到埃及那边,都各归各城。
and Joseph reduced the people to servitude; from one end of Egypt to the other。
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。
However; he did not buy the land of the priests; because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment Pharaoh gave them。 That is why they did not sell their land。
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。
Joseph said to the people; 〃Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh; here is seed for you so you can plant the ground。
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。
But when the crop es in; give a fifth of it to Pharaoh。 The other four…fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves and your households and your children。〃
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。
〃You have saved our lives;〃 they said。 〃May we find favor in the eyes of our lord; we will be in bondage to Pharaoh。〃
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。
So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egyptstill in force todaythat a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh。 It was only the land of the priests that did not bee Pharaoh's。
