Genesis 46

1 So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

1 以色列带着他所有的一切来到别示巴，向他父亲以撒的上帝献祭。

2 And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.

2 晚上，上帝在异象中对他说：“雅各！雅各！”他说：“我在这里。”

3 “I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

3 上帝说：“我是上帝，是你父亲的上帝，不要害怕下到埃及，因为我要使你在那里成为大族。

4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”

4 我必跟你一起下到埃及，也必带领你回来，约瑟必为你送终。”

5 Then Jacob departed from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and wives.

5 于是，雅各从别示巴启程。以色列的儿子们带着父亲和妻儿，乘坐法老派来的车，

6 They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.

6 带着在迦南获得的牲畜和财物前往埃及。这样，雅各带着他所有的子孙，

7 Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.

7 就是他的儿子、孙子、女儿和孙女一起去了埃及。

28 Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When Jacob’s family arrived in the land of Goshen,

28 雅各派犹大先去见约瑟，请他派人引路到歌珊去。他们来到歌珊，

29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.

29 约瑟备好车前去迎接父亲以色列。父子重逢，约瑟抱住父亲哭了很久。

30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still alive!”

30 以色列对约瑟说：“我现在看到你还活着，就是死也安心了。”

31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and inform Pharaoh: ‘My brothers and my father’s household from the land of Canaan have come to me.

31 约瑟对他的弟兄们和其他家人说：“我要上奏法老，‘我在迦南的弟兄和父亲全家已经来到我这里。

32 The men are shepherds; they raise livestock, and they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they own.’

32 他们是牧人，以畜牧为业，已经把羊群、牛群和所有的一切都带来了。’

33 When Pharaoh summons you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’

33 等法老召见你们，问你们以什么为业，

34 you are to say, ‘Your servants have raised livestock ever since our youth—both we and our fathers.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”

34 你们要说，‘仆人们跟我们的祖先一样，从小以畜牧为业。’这样，你们就可以住在歌珊，因为埃及人厌恶牧羊的。”
