Genesis 50
1 Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him.
若瑟伏在他父親的臉上，痛哭親吻，
2 And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel.
然後吩咐照料自己的醫生，用香料包殮他父親；醫生便用香料包殮了以色列。
3 So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes.
為他共費了四十天，因為用香料包殮屍體原需要這些天數。埃及人為他舉哀七十天。
4 And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say,
舉哀期一過，若瑟就向法郎的朝廷說：「我如在你們眼中得寵，請你們代我轉告法郎說：
5 My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe.
我父親曾叫我起誓，對我說：看，我快要死了! 我在客納罕地，曾為自己鑿了一個墳墓，你應把我葬在那裏。現在請讓我上去埋葬我父親，然後回來。」
6 Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare.
法郎回覆說：「你就照你父親令你起的誓，上去埋葬他罷! 」
7 So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt.
於是若瑟上去埋葬他父親，與他一同去的，有法郎的一切臣僕，朝廷的顯要，和埃及國所有的紳士；
8 Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen.
還有若瑟全家和他的兄弟們，並他父親的家屬，只留下家中幼小，羊群和家畜在哥笙地。
9 And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company.
與他同去的，尚有車輛和騎兵：實在是一大隊行列。
10 And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes.
當他們到了約但河對岸的阿塔得打禾場，就在那裏舉行了極備哀榮的隆重喪禮；若瑟又為自己的父親舉哀了七天。
11 And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden.
住在當地的客納罕人見了阿塔得打禾場上的喪禮，就說：「這為埃及人實是一場極備哀榮的喪禮。」因而給那在約但對岸的地方，起名叫阿貝耳米茲辣殷。
12 So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them:
雅各伯的兒子們完全照他們的父親所吩咐的給他辦了：
13 For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre.
將他運到客納罕地，葬在面對瑪默勒的瑪革培拉田裏的山洞內；這塊田是亞巴郎由赫特人厄斐龍買了來作為私有墳地。
14 Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father.
若瑟葬了父親以後，遂和他兄弟們，以及所有與他上來埋葬他父親的人們，返回了埃及。
15 And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him.
若瑟的兄弟們見父親已死，就說：「或者若瑟仍懷恨我們，要報復我們對他所行的一切惡事。」
16 Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
因此便派人去見若瑟說：「你父親未死以前曾囑咐說：
17 Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him.
你們要這樣對若瑟說：請你務必饒恕你兄弟們的過失和罪惡，因為他們實在虐待了你。現在，求你饒恕你父親的天主的僕人們的過失罷! 」若瑟聽他們對他說出這樣的話，就哭了起來。
18 Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants.
後來他的兄弟們還親自來，俯伏在他面前說：「看，我們都是你的奴隸! 」
19 To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God?
若瑟對他們說：「不要害怕! 我豈能替代天主﹖
20 When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue.
你們原有意對我作的惡事，天主卻有意使之變成好事，造成了今日的結果：挽救了許多人民的性命。
21 Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them.
所以，你們不必害怕，有我維持你們和你們的孩子。」他這樣撫慰他們，使他們安心。
22 So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere.
若瑟和他父親的家屬，以後就住在埃及。若瑟活到了一百一十歲，
23 And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees.
見到了厄弗辣因的第三代子孫；默納協的兒子瑪基爾的兒子們，也都生在若瑟的膝下。
24 And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob.
若瑟對自己的兄弟們說：「我快要死了；但天主要看顧你們，領你們由這地回到他誓許給亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯的地方去。」
25 And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence.
若瑟又叫以色列的兒子們起誓說「當天主看顧你們時，你們應將我的骨骸由這裏帶回去。」
26 So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.
若瑟死了，享壽一百一十歲。人遂用香料包殮了他，放在棺墎內，安厝在埃及。
