约瑟以兄过告父

37 雅各住在迦南地,就是他父亲寄居的地。 雅各的记略如下。约瑟十七岁与他哥哥们一同牧羊。他是个童子,与他父亲的妾辟拉悉帕的儿子们常在一处。约瑟将他哥哥们的恶行报给他们的父亲。 以色列原来爱约瑟过于爱他的众子,因为约瑟是他年老生的,他给约瑟做了一件彩衣。 约瑟的哥哥们见父亲爱约瑟过于爱他们,就恨约瑟,不与他说和睦的话。

约瑟得梦述于诸兄

约瑟做了一梦,告诉他哥哥们,他们就越发恨他。 约瑟对他们说:“请听我所做的梦: 我们在田里捆禾稼,我的捆起来站着,你们的捆来围着我的捆下拜。” 他的哥哥们回答说:“难道你真要做我们的王吗?难道你真要管辖我们吗?”他们就因为他的梦和他的话越发恨他。 后来他又做了一梦,也告诉他的哥哥们说:“看哪,我又做了一梦,梦见太阳、月亮与十一个星向我下拜。” 10 约瑟将这梦告诉他父亲和他哥哥们,他父亲就责备他说:“你做的这是什么梦!难道我和你母亲、你弟兄果然要来俯伏在地,向你下拜吗?” 11 他哥哥们都嫉妒他,他父亲却把这话存在心里。

12 约瑟的哥哥们往示剑去放他们父亲的羊。 13 以色列约瑟说:“你哥哥们不是在示剑放羊吗?你来,我要打发你往他们那里去。”约瑟说:“我在这里。” 14 以色列说:“你去看看你哥哥们平安不平安,群羊平安不平安,就回来报信给我。”于是打发他出希伯仑谷,他就往示剑去了。 15 有人遇见他在田野走迷了路,就问他说:“你找什么?” 16 他说:“我找我的哥哥们,求你告诉我他们在何处放羊。” 17 那人说:“他们已经走了,我听见他们说要往多坍去。”约瑟就去追赶他哥哥们,遇见他们在多坍

18 他们远远地看见他,趁他还没有走到跟前,大家就同谋要害死他, 19 彼此说:“你看,那做梦的来了。 20 来吧,我们将他杀了,丢在一个坑里,就说有恶兽把他吃了。我们且看他的梦将来怎么样!” 21 鲁本听见了,要救他脱离他们的手,说:“我们不可害他的性命。” 22 又说:“不可流他的血,可以把他丢在这野地的坑里,不可下手害他。”鲁本的意思是要救他脱离他们的手,把他归还他的父亲。 23 约瑟到了他哥哥们那里,他们就剥了他的外衣,就是他穿的那件彩衣, 24 把他丢在坑里。那坑是空的,里头没有水。

卖约瑟给以实玛利人

25 他们坐下吃饭,举目观看,见有一伙米甸以实玛利人从基列来,用骆驼驮着香料、乳香、没药,要带下埃及去。 26 犹大对众弟兄说:“我们杀我们的兄弟,藏了他的血有什么益处呢? 27 我们不如将他卖给以实玛利人,不可下手害他,因为他是我们的兄弟、我们的骨肉。”众弟兄就听从了他。 28 有些米甸的商人从那里经过,哥哥们就把约瑟从坑里拉上来,讲定二十舍客勒银子,把约瑟卖给以实玛利人。他们就把约瑟带到埃及去了。

雅各裂衣为子悲哀

29 鲁本回到坑边,见约瑟不在坑里,就撕裂衣服, 30 回到兄弟们那里,说:“童子没有了!我往哪里去才好呢?” 31 他们宰了一只公山羊,把约瑟的那件彩衣染了血, 32 打发人送到他们的父亲那里,说:“我们捡了这个,请认一认是你儿子的外衣不是?” 33 他认得,就说:“这是我儿子的外衣,有恶兽把他吃了!约瑟被撕碎了!撕碎了!” 34 雅各便撕裂衣服,腰间围上麻布,为他儿子悲哀了多日。 35 他的儿女都起来安慰他,他却不肯受安慰,说:“我必悲哀着下阴间,到我儿子那里。”约瑟的父亲就为他哀哭。 36 米甸人带约瑟埃及,把他卖给法老的内臣护卫长波提乏

38 那时,犹大离开他弟兄下去,到一个亚杜兰人名叫希拉的家里去。 犹大在那里看见一个迦南人名叫书亚的女儿,就娶她为妻,与她同房。 她就怀孕,生了儿子,犹大给他起名叫 她又怀孕,生了儿子,母亲给他起名叫俄南 她复又生了儿子,给他起名叫示拉。她生示拉的时候,犹大正在基悉 犹大为长子娶妻,名叫她玛 犹大的长子在耶和华眼中看为恶,耶和华就叫他死了。 犹大俄南说:“你当与你哥哥的妻子同房,向她尽你为弟的本分,为你哥哥生子立后。” 俄南知道生子不归自己,所以同房的时候便遗在地,免得给他哥哥留后。 10 俄南所做的在耶和华眼中看为恶,耶和华也就叫他死了。 11 犹大心里说:“恐怕示拉也死,像他两个哥哥一样”,就对他儿妇她玛说:“你去,在你父亲家里守寡,等我儿子示拉长大。”她玛就回去,住在她父亲家里。

12 过了许久,犹大的妻子书亚的女儿死了。犹大得了安慰,就和他朋友亚杜兰希拉亭拿去,到他剪羊毛的人那里。 13 有人告诉她玛说:“你的公公上亭拿剪羊毛去了。” 14 她玛示拉已经长大,还没有娶她为妻,就脱了她做寡妇的衣裳,用帕子蒙着脸,又遮住身体,坐在亭拿路上的伊拿印城门口。 15 犹大看见她,以为是妓女,因为她蒙着脸。 16 犹大就转到她那里去,说:“来吧,让我与你同寝。”他原不知道是他的儿妇。她玛说:“你要与我同寝,把什么给我呢?” 17 犹大说:“我从羊群里取一只山羊羔,打发人送来给你。”她玛说:“在未送以先,你愿意给我一个当头吗?” 18 他说:“我给你什么当头呢?”她玛说:“你的印、你的带子和你手里的杖。”犹大就给了她,与她同寝,她就从犹大怀了孕。 19 她玛起来走了,除去帕子,仍旧穿上做寡妇的衣裳。 20 犹大托他朋友亚杜兰人送一只山羊羔去,要从那女人手里取回当头来,却找不着她, 21 就问那地方的人说:“伊拿印路旁的妓女在哪里?”他们说:“这里并没有妓女。” 22 他回去见犹大说:“我没有找着她,并且那地方的人说这里没有妓女。” 23 犹大说:“我把这山羊羔送去了,你竟找不着她。任凭她拿去吧,免得我们被羞辱。”

她玛孪生二子

24 约过了三个月,有人告诉犹大说:“你的儿妇她玛做了妓女,且因行淫有了身孕。”犹大说:“拉出她来,把她烧了!” 25 她玛被拉出来的时候,便打发人去见她公公,对他说:“这些东西是谁的,我就是从谁怀的孕。请你认一认这印和带子并杖都是谁的?” 26 犹大承认说:“她比我更有义,因为我没有将她给我的儿子示拉。”从此犹大不再与她同寝了。 27 她玛将要生产,不料她腹里是一对双生。 28 到生产的时候,一个孩子伸出一只手来,收生婆拿红线拴在他手上,说:“这是头生的。” 29 随后这孩子把手收回去,他哥哥生出来了。收生婆说:“你为什么抢着来呢?”因此给他起名叫法勒斯 30 后来他兄弟,那手上有红线的也生出来,就给他起名叫谢拉

Esau’s Descendants(A)(B)

36 This is the account(C) of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).(D)

Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:(E) Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,(F) and Oholibamah(G) daughter of Anah(H) and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite(I) also Basemath(J) daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.(K)

Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,(L) and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(M) These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.

Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,(N) and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.(O) Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.(P) So Esau(Q) (that is, Edom)(R) settled in the hill country of Seir.(S)

This is the account(T) of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites(U) in the hill country of Seir.

10 These are the names of Esau’s sons:

Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.(V)

20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite,(AS) who were living in the region:

Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,(AT) 21 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs.(AU)

The Rulers of Edom(BC)

31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king(BD) reigned:

32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.

33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah(BE) succeeded him as king.

34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites(BF) succeeded him as king.

This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.(BK)

Joseph’s Dreams

37 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed,(BL) the land of Canaan.(BM)

This is the account(BN) of Jacob’s family line.

Joseph,(BO) a young man of seventeen,(BP) was tending the flocks(BQ) with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah(BR) and the sons of Zilpah,(BS) his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report(BT) about them.

Now Israel(BU) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,(BV) because he had been born to him in his old age;(BW) and he made an ornate[f] robe(BX) for him.(BY) When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him(BZ) and could not speak a kind word to him.

Joseph had a dream,(CA) and when he told it to his brothers,(CB) they hated him all the more.(CC) He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves(CD) of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”(CE)

His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?”(CF) And they hated him all the more(CG) because of his dream and what he had said.

Then he had another dream,(CH) and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars(CI) were bowing down to me.”(CJ)

10 When he told his father as well as his brothers,(CK) his father rebuked(CL) him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”(CM) 11 His brothers were jealous of him,(CN) but his father kept the matter in mind.(CO)

Joseph Sold by His Brothers

12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,(CP) 13 and Israel(CQ) said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem.(CR) Come, I am going to send you to them.”

“Very well,” he replied.

14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers(CS) and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron.(CT)

When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”

16 He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?”

17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.(CU)’”

So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(CV)

19 “Here comes that dreamer!(CW)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(CX) and say that a ferocious animal(CY) devoured him.(CZ) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(DA)

21 When Reuben(DB) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(DC) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(DD) here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.(DE)

23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(DF) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(DG) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.

25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(DH) coming from Gilead.(DI) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(DJ) and myrrh,(DK) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(DL)

26 Judah(DM) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(DN) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(DO) our own flesh and blood.(DP)” His brothers agreed.

28 So when the Midianite(DQ) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(DR) and sold(DS) him for twenty shekels[g] of silver(DT) to the Ishmaelites,(DU) who took him to Egypt.(DV)

29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.(DW) 30 He went back to his brothers and said, “The boy isn’t there! Where can I turn now?”(DX)

31 Then they got Joseph’s robe,(DY) slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.(DZ) 32 They took the ornate robe(EA) back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.”

33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal(EB) has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”(EC)

34 Then Jacob tore his clothes,(ED) put on sackcloth(EE) and mourned for his son many days.(EF) 35 All his sons and daughters came to comfort him,(EG) but he refused to be comforted.(EH) “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son(EI) in the grave.(EJ)” So his father wept for him.

36 Meanwhile, the Midianites[h](EK) sold Joseph(EL) in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.(EM)

Judah and Tamar

38 At that time, Judah(EN) left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam(EO) named Hirah.(EP) There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua.(EQ) He married her and made love to her; she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.(ER) She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.(ES) She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah.(ET) It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.

Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.(EU) But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight;(EV) so the Lord put him to death.(EW)

Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”(EX) But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.(EY)

11 Judah then said to his daughter-in-law(EZ) Tamar,(FA) “Live as a widow in your father’s household(FB) until my son Shelah(FC) grows up.”(FD) For he thought, “He may die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s household.

12 After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua,(FE) died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah,(FF) to the men who were shearing his sheep,(FG) and his friend Hirah the Adullamite(FH) went with him.

13 When Tamar(FI) was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”(FJ) 14 she took off her widow’s clothes,(FK) covered herself with a veil(FL) to disguise herself, and then sat down(FM) at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.(FN) For she saw that, though Shelah(FO) had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute,(FP) for she had covered her face. 16 Not realizing(FQ) that she was his daughter-in-law,(FR) he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.”(FS)

“And what will you give me to sleep with you?”(FT) she asked.

17 “I’ll send you a young goat(FU) from my flock,” he said.

“Will you give me something as a pledge(FV) until you send it?” she asked.

18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?”

“Your seal(FW) and its cord, and the staff(FX) in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.(FY) 19 After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes(FZ) again.

20 Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite(GA) in order to get his pledge(GB) back from the woman, but he did not find her. 21 He asked the men who lived there, “Where is the shrine prostitute(GC) who was beside the road at Enaim?”

“There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here,” they said.

22 So he went back to Judah and said, “I didn’t find her. Besides, the men who lived there said, ‘There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here.’”

23 Then Judah said, “Let her keep what she has,(GD) or we will become a laughingstock.(GE) After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.”

24 About three months later Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.”

Judah said, “Bring her out and have her burned to death!”(GF)

25 As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. “I am pregnant by the man who owns these,” she said. And she added, “See if you recognize whose seal and cord and staff these are.”(GG)

26 Judah recognized them and said, “She is more righteous than I,(GH) since I wouldn’t give her to my son Shelah.(GI)” And he did not sleep with her again.

27 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.(GJ) 28 As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife(GK) took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist(GL) and said, “This one came out first.” 29 But when he drew back his hand, his brother came out,(GM) and she said, “So this is how you have broken out!” And he was named Perez.[i](GN) 30 Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread on his wrist,(GO) came out. And he was named Zerah.[j](GP)

24 “学生不能高过先生,仆人不能高过主人。 25 学生和先生一样,仆人和主人一样,也就罢了。人既骂家主是别西卜[a],何况他的家人呢? 26 所以不要怕他们,因为掩盖的事没有不露出来的,隐藏的事没有不被人知道的。 27 我在暗中告诉你们的,你们要在明处说出来;你们耳中所听的,要在房上宣扬出来。 28 那杀身体不能杀灵魂的,不要怕他们;唯有能把身体和灵魂都灭在地狱里的,正要怕他。 29 两个麻雀不是卖一分银子吗?若是你们的父不许,一个也不能掉在地上。 30 就是你们的头发,也都被数过了。 31 所以,不要惧怕,你们比许多麻雀还贵重。 32 凡在人面前认我的,我在我天上的父面前也必认他; 33 凡在人面前不认我的,我在我天上的父面前也必不认他。

34 “你们不要想我来是叫地上太平,我来并不是叫地上太平,乃是叫地上动刀兵。 35 因为我来是叫‘人与父亲生疏,女儿与母亲生疏,媳妇与婆婆生疏; 36 人的仇敌就是自己家里的人’。 37 爱父母过于爱我的,不配做我的门徒;爱儿女过于爱我的,不配做我的门徒; 38 不背着他的十字架跟从我的,也不配做我的门徒。 39 得着生命的,将要失丧生命;为我失丧生命的,将要得着生命。

服侍主的赏赐

40 “人接待你们,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待那差我来的。 41 人因为先知的名接待先知,必得先知所得的赏赐;人因为义人的名接待义人,必得义人所得的赏赐。 42 无论何人,因为门徒的名,只把一杯凉水给这小子里的一个喝,我实在告诉你们:这人不能不得赏赐。”

21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(A) and have them put to death.(B) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(C) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(D) 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.(E)

24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(F) 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul,(G) how much more the members of his household!

26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(H) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(I) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(J) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(K)

32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(L) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(M)

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(N)
36     a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[b](O)

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.(P) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(Q) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(R)

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(S) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(T) 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”(U)
