Genesis
Chapter 46

1 Israel set out with all that was his. When he arrived at Beer-sheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

以色列遂带着他所有的一切出发，来到了贝尔舍巴，向他父亲依撒格的天主献了祭，

2 There God, speaking to Israel in a vision by night, called, ＂Jacob! Jacob!＂＂Here I am,＂ he answered.

当夜天主在神视中对以色列说：＂雅各伯、雅各伯！＂他答说：＂我在这里。＂

3 ¹ Then he said: ＂I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation.

天主说：＂我是天主，你父亲的天主。你不要害怕下到埃及去，因为我要使你在那里成为一大民族。

4 Not only will I go down to Egypt with you; I will also bring you back here, after Joseph has closed your eyes.＂

我与你一同下到埃及，也必使你再上来；若瑟要亲手合上你的眼。＂

5 So Jacob departed from Beer-sheba, and the sons of Israel put their father and their wives and children on the wagons that Pharaoh had sent for his transport.

雅各伯遂由贝尔舍巴起程。以色列的儿子们扶自己的父亲雅各伯和自己的孩子及妻子，上了法郎派来接他的车，

6 They took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. Thus Jacob and all his descendants migrated to Egypt.

带了家畜和在客纳罕地积聚的财物，一同向埃及进发：这样雅各伯和他所有的孩子，

7 His sons and his grandsons, his daughters and his granddaughters--all his descendants--he took with him to Egypt.

即他的儿子、孙子、女儿、孙女，他的一切孩子，都一同来到了埃及。

8 These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his descendants, who migrated to Egypt. Reuben, Jacob's first-born,

此外还有若瑟在埃及所生的儿子二人：雅各伯家来到埃及的全体人数，共计七十人。

28 Israel had sent Judah ahead to Joseph, so that he might meet him in Goshen. On his arrival in the region of Goshen,

雅各伯派犹大先去见若瑟，同他约定在哥笙相见。他们来到了哥笙地方，

29 Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and rode to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as he saw him, he flung himself on his neck and wept a long time in his arms.

若瑟套车上哥笙去迎接他父亲以色列；一见了他，就扑在他颈上，抱住他的颈，哭了很久。

30 And Israel said to Joseph, ＂At last I can die, now that I have seen for myself that Joseph is still alive.＂

以色列对若瑟说：＂我见了你的面，见你还活着，现在我可以死了！＂

31 Joseph then said to his brothers and his father's household: ＂I will go and inform Pharaoh, telling him: 'My brothers and my father's household, whose home is in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

若瑟对他的兄弟们和父亲的家属说：＂我要上去呈报法郎说：我在客纳罕地的兄弟们和我父亲的家属，都来到我这里了。

32 The men are shepherds, having long been keepers of livestock; and they have brought with them their flocks and herds, as well as everything else they own.'

这些人都是放羊饲畜的人；他们的羊群牛群和他们所有的一切都带来了。

33 So when Pharaoh summons you and asks what your occupation is, you must answer, ‘We your servants, like our ancestors, have been keepers of livestock from the beginning until now,' in order that you may stay in the region of Goshen, since all shepherds are abhorrent to the Egyptians.＂

所以，当法郎召见你们，问你们有何职业时，你们要答说：你的仆人们自幼直到现在，都是牧养牲畜的人，我们和我们的祖先都是如此。这样你们才能住在哥笙地方，因为埃及人厌恶一切牧羊的人。＂

Footnotes(注解)

¹ [3] I am God: more precisely according to the Hebrew text, ＂I am El.＂＂El＂ is here a divine name, not the common noun ＂god.＂

² [9-27] This genealogical list has here been inserted by a redactor who based it on the clan lists (Numbers 26:5-50) at the time of Moses. Therefore it includes some of Jacob's grandchildren, who would hardly have been born when Joseph was still a relatively young man. The number fourteen (Genesis 46:22) is based on a garbled version of the genealogical list.

³ [27] Seventy persons: either to be understood as a round number, or arrived at by including Jacob and Joseph with the preceding persons, who add up to sixty-eight.
