1雅各死後之榮哀約瑟伏在他父親的臉上，為他哀哭，與他親嘴。
1Joseph fell on his father’s face, wept on him, and kissed him.
2約瑟吩咐臣僕中作醫生的，用香料包殮了他的父親。他們就用香料包殮了以色列。
2Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.
3這事足足費了四十天，因為用香料包殮屍體是需要這樣長的時間。埃及人為他哀哭了七十天。
3Forty days were fulfilled for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for him for seventy days.
4為他哀哭的日子過了，約瑟就對法老家裡的人說：“我若在你們面前得蒙喜悅，請你們代我稟告法老說：
4When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
5‘我父親曾經叫我起誓，說：“看哪，我快要死了；你要把我埋葬在迦南地，在我為自己所掘的墳墓裡。”現在求你讓我上去，埋葬我的父親，之後我必定回來。’”
5‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come again.’”
6法老說：“你可以上去，照著你父親叫你起的誓，把他埋葬。”
6Pharaoh said, “Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear.”
7於是，約瑟上去埋葬他的父親。與他一同上去的，有法老所有的臣僕，法老家中的長老，和埃及地所有的長老，
7Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,
8還有約瑟的全家，他的兄弟們和他父親的家人；他們把孩子和牛羊留在歌珊地。
8all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
9又有車輛和馬兵與他一同上去，成了一大隊行列。
9There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.
10他們到了約旦河東岸的亞達禾場，就在那裡大大地哀悼痛哭。約瑟為他父親舉哀七天。
10They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.
11住在那地的迦南人看見了亞達禾場的哀悼，就說：“這是埃及人一場非常傷痛的哀悼。”因此，在約旦河東岸的那地方名叫亞伯．麥西。
11When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, “This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians.” Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
12雅各的眾子就照著父親囑咐他們的去作，
12His sons did to him just as he commanded them,
13把雅各運到迦南地，葬在麥比拉田間的洞裡。那地方在幔利的前面，是亞伯拉罕向赫人以弗崙買下來作墳地的。
13for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
14約瑟埋葬了他父親以後，就和他的眾兄弟，以及所有與他一同上去埋葬他父親的人都回埃及去了。
14Joseph returned into Egypt—he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
15約瑟安慰眾兄弟約瑟的哥哥們看見父親死了，就說：“或者約瑟仍然會懷恨我們，要報復我們從前向他所作的一切惡事。”
15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all of the evil which we did to him.”
16他們就打發人到約瑟那裡，說：“你父親未死以前曾經囑咐說：
16They sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,
17‘你們要對約瑟這樣說：從前你的哥哥們惡待你，求你饒恕他們的過犯和罪惡。現在求你饒恕你父親 神之僕人的過犯。’”約瑟聽見這話就哭了。
17‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18他的哥哥們也親自來了，俯伏在他面前，說：“看哪，我們是你的奴僕。”
18His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19約瑟對他們說：“你們不要害怕，我怎能代替 神呢？
19Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
20從前你們有意要害我，但 神有美好的意思在其中，為要成就今日的光景，使許多人的性命得以保全。
20As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.
21現在你們不要害怕，我必供養你們和你們的孩子。”於是約瑟用仁慈的話安慰他們。
21Now therefore don’t be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.” He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
22約瑟逝世約瑟和他父親的家人，都住在埃及。約瑟活了一百一十歲。
22Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.
23約瑟見到以法蓮的第三代子孫；瑪拿西的兒子瑪吉的眾子，也歸在約瑟的膝下。
23Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees.
24約瑟對他的兄弟們說：“我快要死了，但 神必定眷顧你們，領你們從這地上到他起誓應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地去。”
24Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
25約瑟又叫以色列的子孫起誓，說：“ 神必定眷顧你們，那時你們要把我的骸骨從這裡帶上去應許之地。”
25Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.”
26約瑟死了，享壽一百一十歲。人用香料把他包殮了，放在棺材裡，停在埃及。
26So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
