创世记 48
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
雅各祝福以法蓮和瑪拿西
48 這些事以後，有人對約瑟說：“你的父親病了。”約瑟就帶著兩個兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮同去。 2 有人告訴雅各，說：“你的兒子約瑟到你這裡來了。”以色列就勉強在床上坐起來。 3 雅各對約瑟說：“全能的 神曾經在迦南地的路斯向我顯現，賜福給我， 4 對我說：‘我必使你繁衍增多，成為一大族；我必把這地賜給你的後裔，作永遠的產業。’ 5 我未到埃及見你之前，你在埃及地生了兩個兒子，現在他們算是我的；以法蓮和瑪拿西是我的，好像流本和西緬是我的一樣。 6 你在他們以後所生的子孫，都是你的；不過，在繼承產業的事上，他們可以歸在他們哥哥的名下。 7 至於我，我從巴旦回來的時候，在迦南地的路上，那裡到以法他還有一段路程，拉結就死在我身邊；我在那裡把她埋葬在以法他的路旁。以法他就是伯利恆。”
雅各祝福約瑟
8 以色列看見約瑟的兒子，就問：“他們是誰？” 9 約瑟回答父親：“他們是我的兒子，是 神在這裡賜給我的。”以色列說：“把他們領到我這裡來，我要給他們祝福。” 10 以色列因為年老，眼睛昏花，看不清楚。約瑟領他們到他跟前去，他就與他們親吻，擁抱他們。 11 以色列對約瑟說：“我想不到可以看見你的面，現在 神竟使我見到你的後裔。” 12 約瑟把兩個兒子從以色列膝上抱下來，自己臉伏在地下拜。 13 約瑟領著他們兩個到以色列的跟前，以法蓮在約瑟的右邊對著以色列的左邊；瑪拿西在約瑟的左邊對著以色列的右邊。 14 但是，以色列兩手交叉，右手按在次子以法蓮的頭上，左手按在長子瑪拿西的頭上。 15 他祝福約瑟，說：
“願我祖亞伯拉罕和以撒所侍候的 神，
一生牧養我直到今日的 神，
16 那救我脫離一切禍患的使者，賜福給這兩個童子。
願我的名，我祖亞伯拉罕和以撒的名，藉著他們得以流傳；
願他們在地上生養眾多。”
17 約瑟見他父親把右手按在以法蓮的頭上，心裡就不高興，於是拿住他父親的手，要從以法蓮的頭上移到瑪拿西的頭上。 18 約瑟對他父親說：“爸爸啊，不是這樣，這個才是長子，請你把右手按在他的頭上。” 19 他父親卻不肯，說：“我知道，我兒啊，我知道，他也要成為一族，也要強大；只是他弟弟比他還要強大，他的後裔要成為多族。” 20 那一天，以色列給他們祝福，說：
“以色列人要用你的名祝福人，說：
‘願 神使你像以法蓮和瑪拿西一樣。’”於是，以色列立以法蓮在瑪拿西之上。
21 以色列又對約瑟說：“看哪，我快要死了，但是 神必與你們同在，必領你們回到你們祖先的土地去。 22 現在我把從前用刀和弓，從亞摩利人手中奪過來的那塊山地賜給你，使你比眾兄弟多得一份。”
Bereshis 48
Orthodox Jewish Bible
48 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Yosef, Hinei, Avicha is choleh (ill); and he took with him his two banim, Menasheh and Ephrayim.
2 And one told Ya’akov, and said, Hinei, the ben of thee Yosef cometh unto thee; and Yisroel strengthened himself, and sat up upon the mittah (bed).
3 And Ya’akov said unto Yosef, El Shaddai appeared unto me at Luz in Eretz Kena’an, and made on me a brocha,
4 And said unto me, Hineni, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a kehal of ammim; and will give HaAretz Hazot to thy zera after thee for an achuzzat olam (everlasting possession).
5 And now thy two banim, Ephrayim and Menasheh, which were born unto thee in Eretz Mitzrayim before I came unto thee into Mitzrayim, are mine; like Reuven and Shimon, they shall be mine.
6 And thy moledet, which are born to thee after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the shem of their achim in their nachalah.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in Eretz Kena’an in the way, when there was yet but a space of land to go unto Ephratah; and I buried her there by the derech Ephrat; the same is Beit-Lechem.
8 And Yisroel beheld Bnei Yosef, and said, Who are these?
9 And Yosef said unto aviv, They are my banim, whom Elohim hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, now, unto me, and I will make upon them a brocha.
10 Now the eyes of Yisroel were dim from age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 And Yisroel said unto Yosef, I never expected to see thy face; and, hinei, Elohim hath showed me also thy zera.
12 And Yosef brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
13 And Yosef took them both, Ephrayim in his yamin toward smol Yisroel, and Menasheh on his smol toward yamin Yisroel, and brought them near unto him.
14 And Yisroel stretched out his yamin, and laid it upon rosh Ephraim, who was the younger, and his smol upon rosh Manasseh, guiding his hands intentionally; for Menasheh was the bechor.
15 And he made on Yosef a brocha, and said, HaElohim, before whom my Avot Avraham and Yitzchak did walk, HaElohim Who was Roeh to me all my life long unto this day,
16 The Malach which redeemed me from kol rah, may he make a brocha on the ne’arim, and let my shem be named on them, and the shem of my Avot Avraham and Yitzchak; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of ha’aretz.
17 And when Yosef saw that aviv laid his yamin upon the rosh Ephrayim, it displeased him; and he took hold of yad aviv, to remove it from rosh Ephrayim unto rosh Menasheh.
18 And Yosef said unto aviv, Not so, Avi; for this is the bechor; put thy yamin upon his rosh.
19 And aviv refused, and said, I know it, beni (my son), I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly achiv hakaton shall be greater than he, and his zera shall become a multitude of Goyim.
20 And he made a brocha on them that day, saying, In thee shall Yisroel bless, saying, Elohim make thee like Ephrayim and like Menasheh; and he set Ephrayim before Menasheh.
21 And Yisroel said unto Yosef, Hinei I die; but Elohim shall be with you, and bring you back unto the Eretz Avoteichem.
22 Moreover, I have given to thee one portion above thy achim, which I took out of the yad HaEmori with my cherev and with my keshet.
Genesis 48
Authorized (King James) Version
48 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. 2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 4 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. 5 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. 6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 7 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 come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Beth-lehem.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these? 9 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. 10 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. 11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. 12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13 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. 14 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.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, 16 the Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. 17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head. 18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

約瑟攜二子見雅各
48 這事以後，有人告訴約瑟說：「你的父親病了。」他就帶著兩個兒子瑪拿西和以法蓮同去。 2 有人告訴雅各說：「請看，你兒子約瑟到你這裡來了。」以色列就勉強在床上坐起來。 3 雅各對約瑟說：「全能的神曾在迦南地的路斯向我顯現，賜福於我， 4 對我說：『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 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，正如魯本和西緬是我的一樣。 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 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。
雅各給約瑟祝福
8 以色列看見約瑟的兩個兒子，就說：「這是誰？」 9 約瑟對他父親說：「這是神在這裡賜給我的兒子。」以色列說：「請你領他們到我跟前，我要給他們祝福。」 10 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 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 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 隨後，約瑟又拉著他們兩個——以法蓮在他的右手裡，對著以色列的左手，瑪拿西在他的左手裡，對著以色列的右手——領他們到以色列的跟前。 14 以色列伸出右手來，按在以法蓮的頭上，以法蓮乃是次子；又剪搭過左手來，按在瑪拿西的頭上，瑪拿西原是長子。 15 他就給約瑟祝福說：「願我祖亞伯拉罕和我父以撒所侍奉的神，就是一生牧養我直到今日的神， 16 救贖我脫離一切患難的那使者，賜福於這兩個童子。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 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 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 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。只是他的兄弟將來比他還大，他兄弟的後裔要成為多族。」 20 當日就給他們祝福說：「以色列人要指著你們祝福說：『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 以色列又對約瑟說：「我要死了，但神必與你們同在，領你們回到你們列祖之地。 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份。」
