1 And it came to pass1961 after310 these428 things,1697 that one told559 Joseph,3130 Behold,2009 thy father1 is sick:2470 and he took3947 with5973 him853 his two8147 sons,1121 853 Manasseh4519 and Ephraim.669
|
1 這些［these］事以後，有人告訴約瑟說：「你看［Behold］，你的父親病了。」他就帶著兩個兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮同去。
|
|
2 And one told5046 Jacob,3290 and said,559 Behold,2009 thy son1121 Joseph3130 cometh935 unto413 thee: and Israel3478 strengthened himself,2388 and sat3427 upon5921 the bed.4296
|
2 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 Jacob3290 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 God410 Almighty7706 appeared7200 unto413 me at Luz3870 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 and blessed1288 me,
|
3 雅各對約瑟說：「神─全能者［God Almighty］曾在迦南地的路斯向我顯現，賜福與我，
|
|
4 And said559 unto413 me, Behold,2009 I will make thee fruitful,6509 and multiply7235 thee, and I will make5414 of thee a multitude6951 of people;5971 and will give5414 853 this2063 land776 to thy seed2233 after310 thee for an everlasting5769 possession.272
|
4 對我說：『看哪［Behold］，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 now6258 thy two8147 sons,1121 Ephraim669 and Manasseh,4519 which were born3205 unto thee in the land776 of Egypt4714 before5704 I came935 unto413 thee into Egypt,4714 are mine; as Reuben7205 and Simeon,8095 they shall be1961 mine.
|
5 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 thy issue,4138 which834 thou begettest3205 after310 them, shall be1961 thine, and shall be called7121 after5921 the name8034 of their brethren251 in their inheritance.5159
|
6 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 as for me,589 when I came935 from Padan,4480 6307 Rachel7354 died4191 by5921 me in the land776 of Canaan3667 in the way,1870 when yet5750 there was but a little3530 way776 to come935 unto Ephrath:672 and I buried6912 her there8033 in the way1870 of Ephrath;672 the same1931 is Bethlehem.1035
|
7 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 Israel3478 beheld7200 Joseph's3130 853 sons,1121 and said,559 Who4310 are these?428
|
8 以色列看見約瑟的兩個兒子，就說：「這是誰？」
|
|
9 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 his father,1 They1992 are my sons,1121 whom834 God430 hath given5414 me in this2088 place. And he said,559 Bring3947 them, I pray thee,4994 unto413 me, and I will bless1288 them.
|
9 約瑟對他父親說：「這是神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 Now the eyes5869 of Israel3478 were dim3513 for age,4480 2207 so that he could3201 not3808 see.7200 And he brought them near5066 853 unto413 him; and he kissed5401 them, and embraced2263 them.
|
10 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，抱著他們。
|
|
11 And Israel3478 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 I had not3808 thought6419 to see7200 thy face:6440 and, lo,2009 God430 hath showed7200 me also1571 853 thy seed.2233
|
11 以色列對約瑟說：「我想不到得見你的面，不料，神又使我得見你的兒子。」
|
|
12 And Joseph3130 brought them out3318 853 from between4480 5973 his knees,1290 and he bowed himself7812 with his face639 to the earth.776
|
12 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 Joseph3130 took3947 853 them both,8147 853 Ephraim669 in his right hand3225 toward Israel's3478 left hand,4480 8040 and Manasseh4519 in his left hand8040 toward Israel's3478 right hand,4480 3225 and brought them near5066 unto413 him.
|
13 隨後，約瑟又拉著他們兩個，以法蓮在他的右手裏，對著以色列的左手，瑪拿西在他的左手裏，對著以色列的右手，領他們到以色列的跟前。
|
|
14 And Israel3478 stretched out7971 853 his right hand,3225 and laid7896 it upon5921 Ephraim's669 head,7218 who1931 was the younger,6810 and his left hand8040 upon5921 Manasseh's4519 head,7218 guiding his hands wittingly;7919 853 3027 for3588 Manasseh4519 was the firstborn.1060
|
14 以色列伸出右手來，按在以法蓮的頭上，他是幼子［who was the younger］，又故意［wittingly］將他的左手［his left hand］按在瑪拿西的頭上，瑪拿西原是長子。
|
|
15 And he blessed1288 853 Joseph,3130 and said,559 God,430 before6440 whom834 my fathers1 Abraham85 and Isaac3327 did walk,1980 the God430 which fed7462 me all my life long4480 5750 unto5704 this2088 day,3117
|
15 他就給約瑟祝福說：「願我祖亞伯拉罕和我父以撒所事奉的神，就是一生牧養我直到今日的神，
|
|
16 The Angel4397 which redeemed1350 me from all4480 3605 evil,7451 bless1288 853 the lads;5288 and let my name8034 be named7121 on them, and the name8034 of my fathers1 Abraham85 and Isaac;3327 and let them grow1711 into a multitude7230 in the midst7130 of the earth.776
|
16 救贖我脫離一切患難的那天使［Angel］，賜福與這兩個男童。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 when Joseph3130 saw7200 that3588 his father1 laid7896 his right3225 hand3027 upon5921 the head7218 of Ephraim,669 it displeased7489 5869 him: and he held up8551 his father's1 hand,3027 to remove5493 it from4480 5921 Ephraim's669 head7218 unto5921 Manasseh's4519 head.7218
|
17 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，要從以法蓮的頭上挪到瑪拿西的頭上。
|
|
18 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 his father,1 Not3808 so,3651 my father:1 for3588 this2088 is the firstborn;1060 put7760 thy right hand3225 upon5921 his head.7218
|
18 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 his father1 refused,3985 and said,559 I know3045 it, my son,1121 I know3045 it: he1931 also1571 shall become1961 a people,5971 and he1931 also1571 shall be great:1431 but truly199 his younger6996 brother251 shall be greater1431 than4480 he, and his seed2233 shall become1961 a multitude4393 of nations.1471
|
19 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；只是他的小［younger］兄弟將來必［truly］比他還大，他［his］的後裔要成為多族。」
|
|
20 And he blessed1288 them that1931 day,3117 saying,559 In thee shall Israel3478 bless,1288 saying,559 God430 make7760 thee as Ephraim669 and as Manasseh:4519 and he set7760 853 Ephraim669 before6440 Manasseh.4519
|
20 他［he］當日就給他們祝福說：「以色列［Israel］要指著你們祝福說：『願神使你如以法蓮、瑪拿西一樣。』」於是立以法蓮在瑪拿西以上。
|
|
21 And Israel3478 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 Behold,2009 I595 die:4191 but God430 shall be1961 with5973 you, and bring you again7725 853 unto413 the land776 of your fathers.1
|
21 以色列又對約瑟說：「看哪［Behold］，我要死了，但神必與你們同在，領你們回到你們列祖之地。
|
|
22 Moreover I589 have given5414 to thee one259 portion7926 above5921 thy brethren,251 which834 I took3947 out of the hand4480 3027 of the Amorite567 with my sword2719 and with my bow.7198
|
22 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。」
