第41章

1 越二年、法老夢立於河濱、

2 見七牛由河出、體肥且美、齧蒭於田、

3 又見七牛由河出、色惡且瘠、與前所見之牛、立於河濱。

4 其惡且瘠者、吞其肥而美者吞其肥而美者、法老乃寤。

5 再寢、復夢、見一莖生七穗、旣佳且實。

6 又見七穗、細弱特甚、暴於東風。

7 其佳且實者、反爲細弱所吞。法老寤、知爲夢。

8 昧爽、中心憂疑、召埃及博士哲人、以夢告之、皆弗識其兆。

9 酒正告法老曰、吾憶昔日獲罪。

10 法老怒臣及膳長、同囚於侍衛長之獄。

11 我二人同夜得夢、夢各不同、不知何兆。

12 在獄有希伯來少者、侍衛長之役、我以夢告之、其占我夢、各示以兆。

13 占無不應、臣得復職、膳長懸木。

14 法老召約瑟、速之出獄、薙髮易衣、以覲法老。

15 法老謂約瑟曰、我得一夢。無人識其兆。或告我言、爾聞夢卽識其兆。

16 約瑟對曰、非臣所能知也、願上帝以平康之兆、賜於法老。

17 法老曰、我夢立於河濱。

18 見七牛由河出、體肥且美、齧蒭於田。

19 又見七牛由河出、色惡羸瘠、其牛之惡、遍埃及未之見也。

20 其惡且瘠者、吞其前所見之肥牛。

21 旣吞、依然羸瘠、若未嘗入腹然、於是我卽寤。

22 復夢見一莖生七穗、佳且實。

23 又見七穗、枯而細、暴於東風。

24 佳者反爲細者所吞。我以此夢告諸博士、皆弗能占。

25 約瑟告法老曰、法老之夢、其兆維一、上帝有所爲、先示於王。

26 七美牛者、七年也、七佳穗者、亦七年也。其兆相同。

27 後七牛、惡且瘠者、七年也、細弱之七穗、暴於東風者、七饑年也。

28 我言上帝、欲有所爲、先示於法老者、正如是。

29 遍埃及地必大有七年。

30 其後必繼以荒歉七年、使埃及疲敝、不知前此之之富歲。

31 蓋後至之之凶荒特甚、故前日之豐稔不知也。

32 上帝定此、將速成之、故使法老復夢。

33 可擇智慧之士、治理埃及。

34 亦立羣都於國、使七豐年中、田所出者、五分取一、

35 斂豐年之粟、積之於廩、守之於城、

36 存此粟爲將來埃及地七凶年之用、庶幾其國免於喪敗。

37 法老與羣臣善其言。

38 法老謂臣曰、如此之人、蒙上帝之神賦之、豈易得乎。

39 又謂約瑟曰、上帝旣以此示汝、故爾智慧、無人可與比擬。

40 爾可治我家、我民必遵爾命、獨於國君之位、則我爲尊。

41 又曰、我舉爾統轄埃及。

42 遂脫指環、授約瑟手、衣以棉衣、復以金索垂其項、

43 乘以次輅、前驅者呼曰、跪、自是立爲通國之宰。

44 法老謂約瑟曰、我乃法老、遍國中無敢擅作、惟爾命是聽。

45 法老賜約瑟名曰、撒納巴尼、以安之祭司波提非拉女亞西納妻之。

46 約瑟覲埃及王法老時、年已三十、遂遍巡埃及四方。

47 七豐年中物產豐腴。

48 約瑟歛其國之糧儲於邑、各邑郊之糧、儲於邑內。

49 遂積粟如海沙之衆、不可量數、多故也。

50 荒年未至、約瑟妻、安之祭司波提非拉女亞西納、生二子。

51 長子命名馬拿西、曰、上帝使我不復念昔於父家受諸艱苦。

52 季子命名以法蓮、曰、我至斯土、以歷困苦、上帝反使我昌熾。

53 埃及地富饒、已歷七年。

54 而七年之凶荒繼至、應約瑟言、時列國皆饑、惟埃及地尚有倉儲。

55 埃及民饑、號呼求食於法老、往見約瑟、所命必行。

56 通國之凶荒已甚、約瑟遂啟倉儲、糶粟於埃及人。

57 天下旣荒、故列國人至埃及、乞糶於約瑟。

Chapter 41

1 And it came to pass1961 at the end4480 7093 of two full years,8141 3117 that Pharaoh6547 dreamed:2492 and, behold,2009 he stood5975 by5921 the river.2975

2 And, behold,2009 there came up5927 out of4480 the river2975 seven7651 well3303 favored4758 kine6510 and fatfleshed;1277 1320 and they fed7462 in a meadow.260

3 And, behold,2009 seven7651 other312 kine6510 came up5927 after310 them out of4480 the river,2975 ill7451 favored4758 and leanfleshed;1851 1320 and stood5975 by681 the other kine6510 upon5921 the brink8193 of the river.2975

4 And the ill7451 favored4758 and leanfleshed1851 1320 kine6510 did eat up398 853 the seven7651 well3303 favored4758 and fat1277 kine.6510 So Pharaoh6547 awoke.3364

5 And he slept3462 and dreamed2492 the second time:8145 and, behold,2009 seven7651 ears of corn7641 came up5927 upon one259 stalk,7070 rank1277 and good.2896

6 And, behold,2009 seven7651 thin1851 ears7641 and blasted7710 with the east wind6921 sprung up6779 after310 them.

7 And the seven thin1851 ears7641 devoured1104 853 the seven7651 rank1277 and full4392 ears.7641 And Pharaoh6547 awoke,3364 and, behold,2009 it was a dream.2472

8 And it came to pass1961 in the morning1242 that his spirit7307 was troubled;6470 and he sent7971 and called for7121 853 all3605 the magicians2748 of Egypt,4714 and all3605 the wise men2450 thereof: and Pharaoh6547 told5608 them853 his dream;2472 but there was none369 that could interpret6622 them unto Pharaoh.6547

9 Then spoke1696 the chief8269 butler4945 853 unto Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 I589 do remember2142 853 my faults2399 this day: 3117

10 Pharaoh6547 was wroth7107 with5921 his servants,5650 and put5414 me in ward4929 in the captain8269 of the guard's2876 house,1004 both me and the chief8269 baker: 644

11 And we dreamed2492 a dream2472 in one259 night,3915 I589 and he;1931 we dreamed2492 each man376 according to the interpretation6623 of his dream.2472

12 And there was there8033 with854 us a young man,5288 a Hebrew,5680 servant5650 to the captain8269 of the guard;2876 and we told5608 him, and he interpreted6622 to us853 our dreams;2472 to each man376 according to his dream2472 he did interpret.6622

13 And it came to pass,1961 as834 he interpreted6622 to us, so3651 it was;1961 me he restored7725 unto5921 mine office,3653 and him he hanged.8518

14 Then Pharaoh6547 sent7971 and called7121 853 Joseph,3130 and they brought him hastily7323 out of4480 the dungeon:953 and he shaved1548 himself, and changed2498 his raiment,8071 and came in935 unto413 Pharaoh.6547

15 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 I have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and there is none369 that can interpret6622 it: and I589 have heard8085 say559 of5921 thee, that thou canst understand8085 a dream2472 to interpret6622 it.

16 And Joseph3130 answered6030 853 Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 It is not in1107 me: God430 shall give Pharaoh an answer6030 6547 of853 peace.7965

17 And Pharaoh6547 said1696 unto413 Joseph,3130 In my dream,2472 behold,2009 I stood5975 upon5921 the bank8193 of the river: 2975

18 And, behold,2009 there came up5927 out of4480 the river2975 seven7651 kine,6510 fatfleshed1277 1320 and well3303 favored;8389 and they fed7462 in a meadow: 260

19 And, behold,2009 seven7651 other312 kine6510 came up5927 after310 them, poor1800 and very3966 ill7451 favored8389 and leanfleshed,7534 1320 such2007 as I never3808 saw7200 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 for badness: 7455

20 And the lean7534 and the ill favored7451 kine6510 did eat up398 853 the first7223 seven7651 fat1277 kine: 6510

21 And when they had eaten them up,935 413 7130 it could not3808 be known3045 that3588 they had eaten935 413 7130 them; but they were still ill favored,4758 7451 as834 at the beginning.8462 So I awoke.3364

22 And I saw7200 in my dream,2472 and, behold,2009 seven7651 ears7641 came up5927 in one259 stalk,7070 full4392 and good: 2896

23 And, behold,2009 seven7651 ears,7641 withered,6798 thin,1851 and blasted7710 with the east wind,6921 sprung up6779 after310 them:

24 And the thin1851 ears7641 devoured1104 853 the seven7651 good2896 ears:7641 and I told559 this unto413 the magicians;2748 but there was none369 that could declare5046 it to me.

25 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 The dream2472 of Pharaoh6547 is one:259 God430 hath showed5046 Pharaoh6547 853 what834 he is about to do.6213

26 The seven7651 good2896 kine6510 are seven7651 years;8141 and the seven7651 good2896 ears7641 are seven7651 years:8141 the dream2472 is one.259

27 And the seven7651 thin7534 and ill favored7451 kine6510 that came up5927 after310 them are seven7651 years;8141 and the seven7651 empty7386 ears7641 blasted7710 with the east wind6921 shall be1961 seven7651 years8141 of famine.7458

28 This1931 is the thing1697 which834 I have spoken1696 unto413 Pharaoh:6547 What834 God430 is about to do6213 he showeth7200 853 unto Pharaoh.6547

29 Behold,2009 there come935 seven7651 years8141 of great1419 plenty7647 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt: 4714

30 And there shall arise6965 after310 them seven7651 years8141 of famine;7458 and all3605 the plenty7647 shall be forgotten7911 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 and the famine7458 shall consume3615 853 the land;776

31 And the plenty7647 shall not3808 be known3045 in the land776 by reason of4480 6440 that1931 famine7458 following;310 3651 for3588 it1931 shall be very3966 grievous.3515

32 And for5921 that the dream2472 was doubled8138 unto413 Pharaoh6547 twice;6471 it is because3588 the thing1697 is established3559 by4480 5973 God,430 and God430 will shortly4116 bring it to pass.6213

33 Now6258 therefore let Pharaoh6547 look out7200 a man376 discreet995 and wise,2450 and set7896 him over5921 the land776 of Egypt.4714

34 Let Pharaoh6547 do6213 this, and let him appoint6485 officers6496 over5921 the land,776 and take up the fifth part2567 of853 the land776 of Egypt4714 in the seven7651 plenteous7647 years.8141

35 And let them gather6908 853 all3605 the food400 of those428 good2896 years8141 that come,935 and lay up6651 corn1250 under8478 the hand3027 of Pharaoh,6547 and let them keep8104 food400 in the cities.5892

36 And that food400 shall be1961 for store6487 to the land776 against the seven7651 years8141 of famine,7458 which834 shall be1961 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 that the land776 perish3772 not3808 through the famine.7458

37 And the thing1697 was good3190 in the eyes5869 of Pharaoh,6547 and in the eyes5869 of all3605 his servants.5650

38 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Can we find4672 such a one as this2088 is, a man376 in whom834 the Spirit7307 of God430 is?

39 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 Forasmuch310 as God430 hath showed3045 thee853 all3605 this,2063 there is none369 so discreet995 and wise2450 as thou3644 art:

40 Thou859 shalt be1961 over5921 my house,1004 and according unto5921 thy word6310 shall all3605 my people5971 be ruled:5401 only7535 in the throne3678 will I be greater1431 than4480 thou.

41 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 See,7200 I have set5414 thee over5921 all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

42 And Pharaoh6547 took off5493 853 his ring2885 from4480 5921 his hand,3027 and put5414 it upon5921 Joseph's3130 hand,3027 and arrayed3847 him in vestures899 of fine linen,8336 and put7760 a gold2091 chain7242 about5921 his neck;6677

43 And he made him to ride7392 in the second4932 chariot4818 which834 he had; and they cried7121 before6440 him, Bow the knee:86 and he made5414 him ruler over5921 all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

44 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 I589 am Pharaoh,6547 and without1107 thee shall no3808 man376 lift up7311 853 his hand3027 or foot7272 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

45 And Pharaoh6547 called7121 Joseph's3130 name8034 Zaphnath-paaneah;6847 and he gave5414 him to wife802 853 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Poti-pherah6319 priest3548 of On.204 And Joseph3130 went out3318 over5921 all the land776 of Egypt.4714

46 And Joseph3130 was thirty7970 years8141 old1121 when he stood5975 before6440 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt.4714 And Joseph3130 went out3318 from the presence4480 6440 of Pharaoh,6547 and went5674 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

47 And in the seven7651 plenteous7647 years8141 the earth776 brought forth6213 by handfuls.7062

48 And he gathered up6908 853 all3605 the food400 of the seven7651 years,8141 which834 were1961 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and laid up5414 the food400 in the cities:5892 the food400 of the field,7704 which834 was round about5439 every city,5892 laid he up5414 in the same.8432

49 And Joseph3130 gathered6651 corn1250 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 very3966 much,7235 until5704 he left2308 numbering;5608 for3588 it was without369 number.4557

50 And unto Joseph3130 were born3205 two8147 sons1121 before2962 the years8141 of famine7458 came,935 which834 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Poti-pherah6319 priest3548 of On204 bore3205 unto him.

51 And Joseph3130 called7121 853 the name8034 of the firstborn1060 Manasseh:4519 For3588 God,430 said he, hath made me forget5382 853 all3605 my toil,5999 and all3605 my father's1 house.1004

52 And the name8034 of the second8145 called7121 he Ephraim:669 For3588 God430 hath caused me to be fruitful6509 in the land776 of my affliction.6040

53 And the seven7651 years8141 of plenteousness,7647 that834 was1961 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 were ended.3615

54 And the seven7651 years8141 of dearth7458 began2490 to come,935 according as834 Joseph3130 had said:559 and the dearth7458 was1961 in all3605 lands;776 but in all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 there was1961 bread.3899

55 And when all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 was famished,7456 the people5971 cried6817 to413 Pharaoh6547 for bread:3899 and Pharaoh6547 said559 unto all3605 the Egyptians,4714 Go1980 unto413 Joseph;3130 what834 he saith559 to you, do.6213

56 And the famine7458 was1961 over5921 all3605 the face6440 of the earth:776 And Joseph3130 opened6605 853 all3605 the storehouses,834 and sold7666 unto the Egyptians;4714 and the famine7458 waxed sore2388 in the land776 of Egypt.4714

57 And all3605 countries776 came935 into Egypt4714 to413 Joseph3130 for to buy7666 corn; because3588 that the famine7458 was so sore2388 in all3605 lands.776

1 越二年、法老夢立於河濱、

1 And it came to pass1961 at the end4480 7093 of two full years,8141 3117 that Pharaoh6547 dreamed:2492 and, behold,2009 he stood5975 by5921 the river.2975

2 見七牛由河出、體肥且美、齧蒭於田、

2 And, behold,2009 there came up5927 out of4480 the river2975 seven7651 well3303 favored4758 kine6510 and fatfleshed;1277 1320 and they fed7462 in a meadow.260

3 又見七牛由河出、色惡且瘠、與前所見之牛、立於河濱。

3 And, behold,2009 seven7651 other312 kine6510 came up5927 after310 them out of4480 the river,2975 ill7451 favored4758 and leanfleshed;1851 1320 and stood5975 by681 the other kine6510 upon5921 the brink8193 of the river.2975

4 其惡且瘠者、吞其肥而美者吞其肥而美者、法老乃寤。

4 And the ill7451 favored4758 and leanfleshed1851 1320 kine6510 did eat up398 853 the seven7651 well3303 favored4758 and fat1277 kine.6510 So Pharaoh6547 awoke.3364

5 再寢、復夢、見一莖生七穗、旣佳且實。

5 And he slept3462 and dreamed2492 the second time:8145 and, behold,2009 seven7651 ears of corn7641 came up5927 upon one259 stalk,7070 rank1277 and good.2896

6 又見七穗、細弱特甚、暴於東風。

6 And, behold,2009 seven7651 thin1851 ears7641 and blasted7710 with the east wind6921 sprung up6779 after310 them.

7 其佳且實者、反爲細弱所吞。法老寤、知爲夢。

7 And the seven thin1851 ears7641 devoured1104 853 the seven7651 rank1277 and full4392 ears.7641 And Pharaoh6547 awoke,3364 and, behold,2009 it was a dream.2472

8 昧爽、中心憂疑、召埃及博士哲人、以夢告之、皆弗識其兆。

8 And it came to pass1961 in the morning1242 that his spirit7307 was troubled;6470 and he sent7971 and called for7121 853 all3605 the magicians2748 of Egypt,4714 and all3605 the wise men2450 thereof: and Pharaoh6547 told5608 them853 his dream;2472 but there was none369 that could interpret6622 them unto Pharaoh.6547

9 酒正告法老曰、吾憶昔日獲罪。

9 Then spoke1696 the chief8269 butler4945 853 unto Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 I589 do remember2142 853 my faults2399 this day: 3117

10 法老怒臣及膳長、同囚於侍衛長之獄。

10 Pharaoh6547 was wroth7107 with5921 his servants,5650 and put5414 me in ward4929 in the captain8269 of the guard's2876 house,1004 both me and the chief8269 baker: 644

11 我二人同夜得夢、夢各不同、不知何兆。

11 And we dreamed2492 a dream2472 in one259 night,3915 I589 and he;1931 we dreamed2492 each man376 according to the interpretation6623 of his dream.2472

12 在獄有希伯來少者、侍衛長之役、我以夢告之、其占我夢、各示以兆。

12 And there was there8033 with854 us a young man,5288 a Hebrew,5680 servant5650 to the captain8269 of the guard;2876 and we told5608 him, and he interpreted6622 to us853 our dreams;2472 to each man376 according to his dream2472 he did interpret.6622

13 占無不應、臣得復職、膳長懸木。

13 And it came to pass,1961 as834 he interpreted6622 to us, so3651 it was;1961 me he restored7725 unto5921 mine office,3653 and him he hanged.8518

14 法老召約瑟、速之出獄、薙髮易衣、以覲法老。

14 Then Pharaoh6547 sent7971 and called7121 853 Joseph,3130 and they brought him hastily7323 out of4480 the dungeon:953 and he shaved1548 himself, and changed2498 his raiment,8071 and came in935 unto413 Pharaoh.6547

15 法老謂約瑟曰、我得一夢。無人識其兆。或告我言、爾聞夢卽識其兆。

15 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 I have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and there is none369 that can interpret6622 it: and I589 have heard8085 say559 of5921 thee, that thou canst understand8085 a dream2472 to interpret6622 it.

16 約瑟對曰、非臣所能知也、願上帝以平康之兆、賜於法老。

16 And Joseph3130 answered6030 853 Pharaoh,6547 saying,559 It is not in1107 me: God430 shall give Pharaoh an answer6030 6547 of853 peace.7965

17 法老曰、我夢立於河濱。

17 And Pharaoh6547 said1696 unto413 Joseph,3130 In my dream,2472 behold,2009 I stood5975 upon5921 the bank8193 of the river: 2975

18 見七牛由河出、體肥且美、齧蒭於田。

18 And, behold,2009 there came up5927 out of4480 the river2975 seven7651 kine,6510 fatfleshed1277 1320 and well3303 favored;8389 and they fed7462 in a meadow: 260

19 又見七牛由河出、色惡羸瘠、其牛之惡、遍埃及未之見也。

19 And, behold,2009 seven7651 other312 kine6510 came up5927 after310 them, poor1800 and very3966 ill7451 favored8389 and leanfleshed,7534 1320 such2007 as I never3808 saw7200 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 for badness: 7455

20 其惡且瘠者、吞其前所見之肥牛。

20 And the lean7534 and the ill favored7451 kine6510 did eat up398 853 the first7223 seven7651 fat1277 kine: 6510

21 旣吞、依然羸瘠、若未嘗入腹然、於是我卽寤。

21 And when they had eaten them up,935 413 7130 it could not3808 be known3045 that3588 they had eaten935 413 7130 them; but they were still ill favored,4758 7451 as834 at the beginning.8462 So I awoke.3364

22 復夢見一莖生七穗、佳且實。

22 And I saw7200 in my dream,2472 and, behold,2009 seven7651 ears7641 came up5927 in one259 stalk,7070 full4392 and good: 2896

23 又見七穗、枯而細、暴於東風。

23 And, behold,2009 seven7651 ears,7641 withered,6798 thin,1851 and blasted7710 with the east wind,6921 sprung up6779 after310 them:

24 佳者反爲細者所吞。我以此夢告諸博士、皆弗能占。

24 And the thin1851 ears7641 devoured1104 853 the seven7651 good2896 ears:7641 and I told559 this unto413 the magicians;2748 but there was none369 that could declare5046 it to me.

25 約瑟告法老曰、法老之夢、其兆維一、上帝有所爲、先示於王。

25 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 Pharaoh,6547 The dream2472 of Pharaoh6547 is one:259 God430 hath showed5046 Pharaoh6547 853 what834 he is about to do.6213

26 七美牛者、七年也、七佳穗者、亦七年也。其兆相同。

26 The seven7651 good2896 kine6510 are seven7651 years;8141 and the seven7651 good2896 ears7641 are seven7651 years:8141 the dream2472 is one.259

27 後七牛、惡且瘠者、七年也、細弱之七穗、暴於東風者、七饑年也。

27 And the seven7651 thin7534 and ill favored7451 kine6510 that came up5927 after310 them are seven7651 years;8141 and the seven7651 empty7386 ears7641 blasted7710 with the east wind6921 shall be1961 seven7651 years8141 of famine.7458

28 我言上帝、欲有所爲、先示於法老者、正如是。

28 This1931 is the thing1697 which834 I have spoken1696 unto413 Pharaoh:6547 What834 God430 is about to do6213 he showeth7200 853 unto Pharaoh.6547

29 遍埃及地必大有七年。

29 Behold,2009 there come935 seven7651 years8141 of great1419 plenty7647 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt: 4714

30 其後必繼以荒歉七年、使埃及疲敝、不知前此之之富歲。

30 And there shall arise6965 after310 them seven7651 years8141 of famine;7458 and all3605 the plenty7647 shall be forgotten7911 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 and the famine7458 shall consume3615 853 the land;776

31 蓋後至之之凶荒特甚、故前日之豐稔不知也。

31 And the plenty7647 shall not3808 be known3045 in the land776 by reason of4480 6440 that1931 famine7458 following;310 3651 for3588 it1931 shall be very3966 grievous.3515

32 上帝定此、將速成之、故使法老復夢。

32 And for5921 that the dream2472 was doubled8138 unto413 Pharaoh6547 twice;6471 it is because3588 the thing1697 is established3559 by4480 5973 God,430 and God430 will shortly4116 bring it to pass.6213

33 可擇智慧之士、治理埃及。

33 Now6258 therefore let Pharaoh6547 look out7200 a man376 discreet995 and wise,2450 and set7896 him over5921 the land776 of Egypt.4714

34 亦立羣都於國、使七豐年中、田所出者、五分取一、

34 Let Pharaoh6547 do6213 this, and let him appoint6485 officers6496 over5921 the land,776 and take up the fifth part2567 of853 the land776 of Egypt4714 in the seven7651 plenteous7647 years.8141

35 斂豐年之粟、積之於廩、守之於城、

35 And let them gather6908 853 all3605 the food400 of those428 good2896 years8141 that come,935 and lay up6651 corn1250 under8478 the hand3027 of Pharaoh,6547 and let them keep8104 food400 in the cities.5892

36 存此粟爲將來埃及地七凶年之用、庶幾其國免於喪敗。

36 And that food400 shall be1961 for store6487 to the land776 against the seven7651 years8141 of famine,7458 which834 shall be1961 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 that the land776 perish3772 not3808 through the famine.7458

37 法老與羣臣善其言。

37 And the thing1697 was good3190 in the eyes5869 of Pharaoh,6547 and in the eyes5869 of all3605 his servants.5650

38 法老謂臣曰、如此之人、蒙上帝之神賦之、豈易得乎。

38 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Can we find4672 such a one as this2088 is, a man376 in whom834 the Spirit7307 of God430 is?

39 又謂約瑟曰、上帝旣以此示汝、故爾智慧、無人可與比擬。

39 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 Forasmuch310 as God430 hath showed3045 thee853 all3605 this,2063 there is none369 so discreet995 and wise2450 as thou3644 art:

40 爾可治我家、我民必遵爾命、獨於國君之位、則我爲尊。

40 Thou859 shalt be1961 over5921 my house,1004 and according unto5921 thy word6310 shall all3605 my people5971 be ruled:5401 only7535 in the throne3678 will I be greater1431 than4480 thou.

41 又曰、我舉爾統轄埃及。

41 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 See,7200 I have set5414 thee over5921 all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

42 遂脫指環、授約瑟手、衣以棉衣、復以金索垂其項、

42 And Pharaoh6547 took off5493 853 his ring2885 from4480 5921 his hand,3027 and put5414 it upon5921 Joseph's3130 hand,3027 and arrayed3847 him in vestures899 of fine linen,8336 and put7760 a gold2091 chain7242 about5921 his neck;6677

43 乘以次輅、前驅者呼曰、跪、自是立爲通國之宰。

43 And he made him to ride7392 in the second4932 chariot4818 which834 he had; and they cried7121 before6440 him, Bow the knee:86 and he made5414 him ruler over5921 all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

44 法老謂約瑟曰、我乃法老、遍國中無敢擅作、惟爾命是聽。

44 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 I589 am Pharaoh,6547 and without1107 thee shall no3808 man376 lift up7311 853 his hand3027 or foot7272 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

45 法老賜約瑟名曰、撒納巴尼、以安之祭司波提非拉女亞西納妻之。

45 And Pharaoh6547 called7121 Joseph's3130 name8034 Zaphnath-paaneah;6847 and he gave5414 him to wife802 853 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Poti-pherah6319 priest3548 of On.204 And Joseph3130 went out3318 over5921 all the land776 of Egypt.4714

46 約瑟覲埃及王法老時、年已三十、遂遍巡埃及四方。

46 And Joseph3130 was thirty7970 years8141 old1121 when he stood5975 before6440 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt.4714 And Joseph3130 went out3318 from the presence4480 6440 of Pharaoh,6547 and went5674 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714

47 七豐年中物產豐腴。

47 And in the seven7651 plenteous7647 years8141 the earth776 brought forth6213 by handfuls.7062

48 約瑟歛其國之糧儲於邑、各邑郊之糧、儲於邑內。

48 And he gathered up6908 853 all3605 the food400 of the seven7651 years,8141 which834 were1961 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and laid up5414 the food400 in the cities:5892 the food400 of the field,7704 which834 was round about5439 every city,5892 laid he up5414 in the same.8432

49 遂積粟如海沙之衆、不可量數、多故也。

49 And Joseph3130 gathered6651 corn1250 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 very3966 much,7235 until5704 he left2308 numbering;5608 for3588 it was without369 number.4557

50 荒年未至、約瑟妻、安之祭司波提非拉女亞西納、生二子。

50 And unto Joseph3130 were born3205 two8147 sons1121 before2962 the years8141 of famine7458 came,935 which834 Asenath621 the daughter1323 of Poti-pherah6319 priest3548 of On204 bore3205 unto him.

51 長子命名馬拿西、曰、上帝使我不復念昔於父家受諸艱苦。

51 And Joseph3130 called7121 853 the name8034 of the firstborn1060 Manasseh:4519 For3588 God,430 said he, hath made me forget5382 853 all3605 my toil,5999 and all3605 my father's1 house.1004

52 季子命名以法蓮、曰、我至斯土、以歷困苦、上帝反使我昌熾。

52 And the name8034 of the second8145 called7121 he Ephraim:669 For3588 God430 hath caused me to be fruitful6509 in the land776 of my affliction.6040

53 埃及地富饒、已歷七年。

53 And the seven7651 years8141 of plenteousness,7647 that834 was1961 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 were ended.3615

54 而七年之凶荒繼至、應約瑟言、時列國皆饑、惟埃及地尚有倉儲。

54 And the seven7651 years8141 of dearth7458 began2490 to come,935 according as834 Joseph3130 had said:559 and the dearth7458 was1961 in all3605 lands;776 but in all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 there was1961 bread.3899

55 埃及民饑、號呼求食於法老、往見約瑟、所命必行。

55 And when all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 was famished,7456 the people5971 cried6817 to413 Pharaoh6547 for bread:3899 and Pharaoh6547 said559 unto all3605 the Egyptians,4714 Go1980 unto413 Joseph;3130 what834 he saith559 to you, do.6213

56 通國之凶荒已甚、約瑟遂啟倉儲、糶粟於埃及人。

56 And the famine7458 was1961 over5921 all3605 the face6440 of the earth:776 And Joseph3130 opened6605 853 all3605 the storehouses,834 and sold7666 unto the Egyptians;4714 and the famine7458 waxed sore2388 in the land776 of Egypt.4714

57 天下旣荒、故列國人至埃及、乞糶於約瑟。

57 And all3605 countries776 came935 into Egypt4714 to413 Joseph3130 for to buy7666 corn; because3588 that the famine7458 was so sore2388 in all3605 lands.776
