创世记 47
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
約瑟的兄弟進見法老
47 約瑟進去稟告法老，說：“我的父親和兄弟們，帶著他們的牛羊和他們所有的一切，都從迦南地來了，現在就在歌珊地。” 2 約瑟從他所有的兄弟當中，挑選了五個人，把他們帶到法老面前。 3 法老問約瑟的兄弟們說：“你們是作甚麼的？”他們回答法老：“僕人們是牧羊人，我們和我們的祖先都是一樣。” 4 他們又對法老說：“我們來是要在這地寄居，因為迦南地的饑荒嚴重，你僕人們的羊群沒有草吃，所以，現在求你容許你僕人住在歌珊地。” 5 法老對約瑟說：“你的父親和兄弟們到你這裡來了； 6 埃及地都在你面前，你只管叫你的父親和兄弟們住在這地最好的地方，他們可以住在歌珊地。你如果知道他們中間有能幹的人，可以派他們看管我的牲畜。”
雅各進見法老
7 約瑟把他父親雅各帶到法老面前，雅各就給法老祝福。 8 法老問雅各：“你有多大年紀了？” 9 雅各回答法老：“我寄居在世的年日是一百三十歲。我一生的年日又少又苦，不及我祖先寄居在世的年日。” 10 雅各又給法老祝福，然後離開法老出去了。 11 約瑟照著法老的吩咐安置他的父親和兄弟們，把蘭塞地，就是埃及地最好的地方，給他們作產業。 12 約瑟照著孩子的數目，用糧食供養他的父親、兄弟們，以及父親的家人。
饑荒
13 那時，遍地都沒有糧食，因為饑荒非常嚴重。埃及地和迦南地的人，因為饑荒的緣故都餓昏了。 14 約瑟收集了埃及地和迦南地所有的銀子，就是眾人買糧的銀子；約瑟就把那些銀子交到法老的王宮去。 15 埃及地和迦南地的銀子都用盡了，埃及眾人就來到約瑟那裡，說：“銀子已用完了。求你給我們糧食吧，我們為甚麼要餓死在你面前呢？” 16 約瑟回答：“如果銀子用完了，可以把你們的牲畜給我，我就把糧食給你們，交換你們的牲畜。” 17 於是，他們把牲畜帶到約瑟那裡，約瑟就把糧食給他們，交換他們的馬匹、羊群、牛群和驢。那一年，約瑟就用糧食交換他們所有的牲畜，來養活他們。 18 那一年過後，第二年他們又來到約瑟那裡，對他說：“我們不向我主隱瞞，我們的銀子都用盡了，牲畜也歸了我主；在我主面前，除了我們的身體和田地以外，甚麼也沒有剩下了。 19 為甚麼我們和我們的田地要在你面前消滅呢？求你用糧食買我們和我們的田地，我們和田地就必為法老效勞了。又求你給我們穀種，使我們可以活著，不至死亡，田地也不至荒蕪。”
20 於是，約瑟為法老買了埃及所有的田地，因為埃及人遭遇了嚴重的饑荒，各人都賣了自己的田地。這樣，那地就都歸法老所有。 21 至於人民，約瑟使他們作奴僕（按照《馬索拉文本》，“使他們作奴僕”作“把他們遷到城市裡去”；現參照其他抄本及古譯本翻譯），從埃及境內的一端，直到另一端。 22 只有祭司的田地，約瑟沒有買，因為祭司有從法老所得的糧餉；他們可以吃法老所給的糧餉，所以沒有賣自己的田地。 23 約瑟對人民說：“看哪，我今日為法老買了你們和你們的田地。這裡有穀種給你們，你們可以種地。 24 到了收割的時候，你們要把五分之一給法老，其餘四分可以歸你們自己，作田裡的種子，又作你們以及你們家人和孩子的食物。” 25 他們說：“你救了我們；願我們在我主面前得蒙喜悅，我們就作法老的奴僕。” 26 於是，約瑟為埃及的田地立了一個法例，直到今日還有效，就是五分之一歸給法老；只有祭司的田地不歸給法老。
雅各向約瑟最後的要求
27 以色列人住在埃及國的歌珊地，他們在那裡置業繁衍，人數非常眾多。 28 雅各在埃及地住了十七年；他一生的壽數是一百四十七歲。 29 以色列的死期快到了，就把他兒子約瑟叫了來，對他說：“如果我在你面前蒙你喜悅，請你把手放在我的大腿底下起誓，要以慈愛和誠實對待我，不要把我埋葬在埃及。 30 我與我的祖先同睡的時候，你要把我從埃及帶出去，埋葬在他們的墓地裡。”約瑟說：“我必照著你的話去作。” 31 雅各說：“你要向我起誓。”約瑟就向他起了誓，於是以色列靠著床頭（“靠著床頭”有古譯本作“倚著杖頭”〔參來11:21〕）敬拜 神。
Genesis 47

Genesis 47
King James Version
47 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
4 They said morever unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
11 And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
13 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
18 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:
19 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.
20 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.
21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22 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.
23 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.
24 And it shall come 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.
25 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.
26 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.
27 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
29 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:
30 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.
31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
Genesis 47

Genesis 47
New International Version
47 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything they own, have come from the land of Canaan(A) and are now in Goshen.”(B) 2 He chose five of his brothers and presented them(C) before Pharaoh.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What is your occupation?”(D)
“Your servants(E) are shepherds,(F)” they replied to Pharaoh, “just as our fathers were.” 4 They also said to him, “We have come to live here for a while,(G) because the famine is severe in Canaan(H) and your servants’ flocks have no pasture.(I) So now, please let your servants settle in Goshen.”(J)
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you, 6 and the land of Egypt is before you; settle(K) your father and your brothers in the best part of the land.(L) Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability,(M) put them in charge of my own livestock.(N)”
7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him(O) before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed[a] Pharaoh,(P) 8 Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty.(Q) My years have been few and difficult,(R) and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.(S)” 10 Then Jacob blessed[b] Pharaoh(T) and went out from his presence.
11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land,(U) the district of Rameses,(V) as Pharaoh directed. 12 Joseph also provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to the number of their children.(W)
Joseph and the Famine
13 There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine.(X) 14 Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying,(Y) and he brought it to Pharaoh’s palace.(Z) 15 When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan was gone,(AA) all Egypt came to Joseph(AB) and said, “Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes?(AC) Our money is all gone.”
16 “Then bring your livestock,(AD)” said Joseph. “I will sell you food in exchange for your livestock, since your money is gone.(AE)” 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses,(AF) their sheep and goats, their cattle and donkeys.(AG) And he brought them through that year with food in exchange for all their livestock.
18 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(AH) and our livestock belongs to you,(AI) there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land. 19 Why should we perish before your eyes(AJ)—we and our land as well? Buy us and our land in exchange for food,(AK) and we with our land will be in bondage to Pharaoh.(AL) Give us seed so that we may live and not die,(AM) and that the land may not become desolate.”
20 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. The Egyptians, one and all, sold their fields, because the famine was too severe(AN) for them. The land became Pharaoh’s, 21 and Joseph reduced the people to servitude,[c](AO) from one end of Egypt to the other. 22 However, he did not buy the land of the priests,(AP) because they received a regular allotment from Pharaoh and had food enough from the allotment(AQ) Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
23 Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed(AR) for you so you can plant the ground.(AS) 24 But when the crop comes in, give a fifth(AT) 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 “You have saved our lives,” they said. “May we find favor in the eyes of our lord;(AU) we will be in bondage to Pharaoh.”(AV)
26 So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt—still in force today—that a fifth(AW) of the produce belongs to Pharaoh. It was only the land of the priests that did not become Pharaoh’s.(AX)
27 Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen.(AY) They acquired property there(AZ) and were fruitful and increased greatly in number.(BA)
28 Jacob lived in Egypt(BB) seventeen years, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.(BC) 29 When the time drew near for Israel(BD) to die,(BE) he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes,(BF) put your hand under my thigh(BG) and promise that you will show me kindness(BH) and faithfulness.(BI) Do not bury me in Egypt, 30 but when I rest with my fathers,(BJ) carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried.”(BK)
“I will do as you say,” he said.
31 “Swear to me,”(BL) he said. Then Joseph swore to him,(BM) and Israel(BN) worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.[d](BO)
