创世记第50章

《圣经》创世记-第50章

创50:1 约瑟伏在他父亲的面上哀哭，与他亲嘴。 (串)王下13:14

†[吕]约瑟伏在他父亲的脸上哭，和他亲咀。

†[思]若瑟伏在他父亲的脸上，痛哭亲吻，

†[当代]约瑟伏在他父亲身上痛哭，又亲吻他。

†[新译]约瑟伏在他父亲的脸上，为他哀哭，与他亲嘴。

†[Wlb]约瑟俯于父面、涕泣而吻之、

†[Xdv]约瑟伏在父亲身上哀哭，亲他的脸。

†[Kjv]And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.

†[Nkjv]Then Joseph fell on his father's face and wept over him, and kissed him.

†[BBE]And Joseph put his head down on his father's face, weeping and kissing him.

†[GNT] Joseph threw himself on his father, crying and kissing his face.

†[NIV]Joseph threw himself upon his father and wept over him and kissed him.

本会注释　　约瑟无疑合上了他亲爱父亲的眼睛，正如上帝所应许的（创46:4）。本段只描述约瑟的悲伤，并不意味着其他儿子没有为父亲的去世而伤心。他们的悲伤可能表现得不象约瑟那样明显。因为约瑟的心特别容易受亲情的影响。约瑟的悲伤代表了所有人的悲伤，而且我们可以想象他们的悲伤同样也是十分真切的。

创50:2 约瑟吩咐伺候他的医生用香料薰他父亲，医生就用香料薰了以色列。 (串)本章26代下16:14路23:56约19:39,40

†[吕]约瑟吩咐他的仆人、医生们、用香料灌他父亲，医生就用香料灌了以色列。

†[思]然后吩咐照料自己的医生，用香料包殓他父亲；医生便用香料包殓了以色列。

†[当代]然后，约瑟就吩咐大夫用香料包殓父亲的身体。

†[新译]约瑟吩咐臣仆中作医生的，用香料包殓了他的父亲。他们就用香料包殓了以色列。

†[Wlb]命其医士、以香料殓父尸、遂以香料殓之、

†[Xdv]后来，约瑟命令医生用药料防止父亲尸体腐烂；医生就照办了。

†[Kjv]And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.

†[Nkjv]And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

†[BBE]And Joseph gave orders to his servants who had the necessary knowledge, to make his father's body ready, folding it in linen with spices, and they did so.

†[GNT] Then Joseph gave orders to embalm his father's body.

†[NIV]Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,

本会注释　　希罗多德（第二卷第86章）和狄奥多罗（第一卷第91章）描述了古埃及人用香料薰尸的方法。他们描述的准确性基本上被古埃及的文献和对木乃伊的检验所证实。这一工艺非常的昂贵，高达一千美金。首先弯曲的金属管把脑汁从鼻孔中吸出，然后用药水彻底清除颅腔内任何残余部分。用一把锋利的刀切开腹腔，将内脏取出来分别放在各个罐子里。这些罐子被称为天篷罐。用棕榈酒和一种由各种香料泡制的溶液洗净腹腔，然后填满各种香料。切开的口子缝合之后，填满香料的尸体将在碱液中浸泡多日（多达70天）。然后洗净尸体，用麻布寿衣包裹，涂上树胶，最后绘上已故者的相貌特征。

创50:3 薰尸的常例是四十天；那四十天满了，埃及人为他哀哭了七十天。 (串)本章10民20:29申34:8

†[吕]为了这件事足足满了四十天，因为用香料灌尸体是要这样满四十天的。以后埃及人就为他哀哭了七十天。

†[思]为他共费了四十天，因为用香料包殓体原需要这些天数。埃及人为他举哀七十天。

†[当代]他们花了四十天把雅各的身体用香料包殓起来，埃及人又为他举哀七十天。

†[新译]这事足足费了四十天，因为用香料包殓尸体是需要这样长的时间。埃及人为他哀哭了七十天。

†[Wlb]历至四旬、厥期既盈、埃及人哭之七旬、

†[Xdv]他们按照固定的时间，用四十天完成这防腐工作。埃及人为他举哀七十天。

†[Kjv]And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.

†[Nkjv]Forty days were required for him, for such are the days required for those who are embalmed; and the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

†[BBE]And the forty days needed for making the body ready went by: and there was weeping for him among the Egyptians for seventy days.

†[GNT] It took forty days, the normal time for embalming. The Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

†[NIV]taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days.

本会注释　　根据埃及的文献，从一个人的去世到安葬，时间各有不同。有时薰尸需要十六天，裹尸三十五天，安葬七十天，共一百二十一天；有时薰尸需要六十六天，准备安葬四天，安葬本身二十六天，一共九十六天。在另一处，我们得知薰尸需要长达七十或八十天，安葬十个月（见E·A·W·布治，《木乃伊》）。时间的长短在于已故者家族的贫富以及所处埃及的历史时期。雅各作为宰相的父亲，得到了当时最好的待遇。他的薰尸持续了四十天，为他的安葬所做的准备又花了七十天。这是所宣布正式的哀悼时期。

创50:4 为他哀哭的日子过了，约瑟对法老家中的人说：“我若在你们眼前蒙恩，请你们报告法老说： (串)创33:15;47:29

†[吕]为他哀哭的日子过了，约瑟对法老家里的人说：“我若在你们面前蒙恩，请向法老禀告说：

†[思]举哀期一过，若瑟就向法郎的朝廷说：“我如在你们眼中得宠，请你们代我转告法郎说：

†[当代]举哀的日子完了，约瑟就对法老家中的官员说：

†[新译]为他哀哭的日子过了，约瑟就对法老家里的人说：“我若在你们面前得蒙喜悦，请你们代我禀告法老说：

†[Wlb]哭期既竟、约瑟语法老之臣曰、若蒙汝恩、请告法老曰、

†[Xdv]过了哀悼的期间，约瑟对王的臣仆说：“请你们把下面的话告诉王：

†[Kjv]And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

†[Nkjv]Now when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying,

†[BBE]And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:

†[GNT] When the time of mourning was over, Joseph said to the king's officials, "Please take this message to the king:

†[NIV]When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh's court, "If I have found favor in your eyes, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him,

本会注释　　注释家们一直在推测，约瑟为什么在哀悼期结束后没有亲自向国王提出请求，而是通过他的侍臣。没有人知道他这种看似奇怪之做法的原因，但这在当时可能是很正常的。有人说约瑟这样做是尊重侍臣，为得到他们的好感。可能约瑟是通过祭司报告国王的，因为祭司与死者的埋葬直接有关。也有可能约瑟伴根据哀悼的习俗留起了胡子和头发，因此在剃净须发之前不能来到国王面前。有些人说约瑟的权柄在饥荒结束之后受到了限制，或另一位对约瑟不太友善的法老作了王。这些说法都是没有根据的。埃及人都哀悼雅各的去世。如果约瑟的名望降低了，就不会这样。而且约瑟通过第三者接近国王的做法，很可能是遵照东方人通过中间人办理重要个人事务的习惯。

创50:5 ‘我父亲要死的时候叫我起誓说：你要将我葬在迦南地，在我为自己所掘的坟墓里。’现在求你让我上去葬我父亲，以后我必回来。” (串)代下16:14赛22:16太27:60

†[吕]‘我父亲叫我起誓说：看吧，我快要死了；你要将我埋葬我自己的坟墓、就是在迦南地我为自己所开掘的（或译：买）：是在那里你要将我埋葬的’：现在请让我上去埋葬我父亲，我就要回来的。”

†[思]我父亲曾叫我起誓，对我说：看，我快要死了！我在客纳罕地，曾为自己凿了一个坟墓，你应把我葬在那。现在请让我上去埋葬我父亲，然后回来。”

†[当代]“请告诉法老，约瑟的父亲曾经要约瑟起誓，答应把他葬在迦南，那儿有他自己预备好的坟地。请法老准许我到迦南去安葬我父亲，葬事办完了，我就立刻回来。”

†[新译]‘我父亲曾经叫我起誓，说：“看哪，我快要死了；你要把我埋葬在迦南地，在我为自己所掘的坟墓里。”现在求你让我上去，埋葬我的父亲，之后我必定回来。’”

†[Wlb]吾父使我誓云、我将死矣、必葬于迦南地所修之墓、求容我往、葬父而返、

†[Xdv]‘我父亲临终的时候要我发誓，要把他归葬迦南他为自己准备的坟里。所以，求你准我去葬我父亲；丧事办完，我就回来！’”

†[Kjv]My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.

†[Nkjv]"My father made me swear, saying, "Behold, I am dying; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and I will come back."'

†[BBE]My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

†[GNT] "When my father was about to die, he made me promise him that I would bury him in the tomb which he had prepared in the land of Canaan. So please let me go and bury my father, and then I will come back.' "

†[NIV]My father made me swear an oath and said, "I am about to die; bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.' "

本会注释　　有人说，雅各称自己挖掘了埋葬他祖父亚伯拉罕的坟墓，与创23章的记载相矛盾。然而我们没有必要推定雅各说自己做了亚伯拉罕所做的事情。雅各既可能扩大了原先的麦比拉洞以安放更多的尸体，也有可能预备了他自己想用的墓穴。或者约瑟只是用这句话告诉法老，葬礼不会在埃及举行，而是在迦南举行，因此需要得到批准。

创50:6 法老说：“你可以上去，照着你父亲叫你起的誓，将他葬埋。”

†[吕]法老说：“你可以上去埋葬你父亲，照他所叫你起誓的。”

†[思]法郎回覆说：“你就照你父亲令你起的誓，上去埋葬他罢！”

†[当代]法老答应了他的请求，对他说：“你可以履行你的誓言去埋葬你父亲。”

†[新译]法老说：“你可以上去，照着你父亲叫你起的誓，把他埋葬。”

†[Wlb]法老曰、依汝父令尔所誓、可往葬之、

†[Xdv]王回答：“你去吧，照你所发的誓去葬你父亲。”

†[Kjv]And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.

†[Nkjv]And Pharaoh said, "Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear."

†[BBE]And Pharaoh said, Go up and put your father to rest, as you gave your oath to him.

†[GNT] The king answered, "Go and bury your father, as you promised you would."

†[NIV]Pharaoh said, "Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do."

创50:7 于是约瑟上去葬他父亲。与他一同上去的，有法老的臣仆和法老家中的长老，并埃及国的长老，

†[吕]于是约瑟上去埋葬他父亲。和他一同上去的、有法老的臣仆，法老家里的长老，和埃及的众长老；

†[思]于是若瑟上去埋葬他父亲，与他一同去的，有法郎的一切臣仆，朝廷的显要，和埃及国所有的绅士；

†[当代]于是，约瑟就启程到迦南去埋葬他的父亲，随行的有法老的臣仆、法老家中的父老和埃及国中的父老。

†[新译]于是，约瑟上去埋葬他的父亲。与他一同上去的，有法老所有的臣仆，法老家中的长老，和埃及地所有的长老，

†[Wlb]约瑟遂往葬父、法老之臣、与宫庭长老、暨埃及长老偕行、

†[Xdv]于是约瑟去埋葬父亲。王所有的臣仆、宫廷的长官，和埃及的显要都陪约瑟去。

†[Kjv]And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

†[Nkjv]So Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

†[BBE]So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

†[GNT] So Joseph went to bury his father. All the king's officials, the senior men of his court, and all the leading men of Egypt went with Joseph.

†[NIV]So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh's officials accompanied him-the dignitaries of his court and all the dignitaries of Egypt-

本会注释　　国王批准以后，一大群人将尸体送回迦南。与约瑟同去的有宫廷的主要官员和家族的全体成员。可能还有一大队战车和骑兵保护他们穿越沙漠进入迦南异乡。埃及官员们的隆重护送部分是因为约瑟在埃及的显赫地位，部分是因为埃及人喜欢参加这样的葬礼。

创50:8 还有约瑟的全家和他的弟兄们，并他父亲的眷属；只有他们的妇人、孩子，和羊群、牛群，都留在歌珊地。 (串)创45:10

†[吕]还有约瑟全家和他的弟兄们，以及他父亲的家；只有把他们那些弱小的和羊群、牛群都留在歌珊地。

†[思]还有若瑟全家和他的兄弟们，并他父亲的家属，只留下家中幼小，羊群和家畜在哥笙地。

†[当代]此外，还有约瑟全家、他的兄弟和他们的家人以及雅各的家属；只有他们的孩子和牛羊仍然留在歌珊。

†[新译]还有约瑟的全家，他的兄弟们和他父亲的家人；他们把孩子和牛羊留在歌珊地。

†[Wlb]约瑟眷聚、昆弟戚族俱往、独留孩稚牛羊于歌珊、

†[Xdv]约瑟全家、他的兄弟们，以及他父亲的眷属，也都跟他一起去；只有他们的小孩子们和牛羊留在歌珊地区。

†[Kjv]And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

†[Nkjv]as well as all 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.

†[BBE]And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

†[GNT] His family, his brothers, and the rest of his father's family all went with him. Only their small children and their sheep, goats, and cattle stayed in the region of Goshen.

†[NIV]besides all the members of Joseph's household and his brothers and those belonging to his father's household. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen.

创50:9 又有车辆马兵，和他一同上去；那一帮人甚多。

†[吕]又有车辆马兵和他一同上去：那一队的人非常之多。

†[思]与他同去的，尚有车辆和骑兵：实在是一大队行列。

†[当代]随行的又有大队车辆和兵马，声势非常浩荡。

†[新译]又有车辆和马兵与他一同上去，成了一大队行列。

†[Wlb]车马同行、群从成队、

†[Xdv]跟他一道去的还有车辆、骑兵，是一个浩浩荡荡的行列。

†[Kjv]And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.

†[Nkjv]And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very great gathering.

†[BBE]And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.

†[GNT] Men in chariots and men on horseback also went with him; it was a huge group.

†[NIV]Chariots and horsemen also went up with him. It was a very large company.

创50:10 他们到了约但河外、亚达的禾场，就在那里大大的号啕痛哭。约瑟为他父亲哀哭了七天。 (串)徒8:2|本章3

†[吕]他们到了约但河东边，亚达的禾场，就在那里举哀，大大的非常伤痛的举哀：约瑟为他父亲举行了哀悼七天。

†[思]当他们到了约但河对岸的阿塔得打禾场，就在那举行了极备哀荣的隆重丧礼；若瑟又为自己的父亲举哀了七天。

†[当代]他们来到约旦河附近亚达禾场的时候，就在那里举行了一个非常庄严隆重的丧礼，约瑟又为父亲守丧七天。

†[新译]他们到了约旦河东岸的亚达禾场，就在那里大大地哀悼痛哭。约瑟为他父亲举哀七天。

†[Wlb]至约但东、亚达禾场、号哭恸甚、约瑟为父悲哀七日、

†[Xdv]他们来到约旦河东岸的亚达禾场，在那里号咷大哭一阵；约瑟在那里举哀七天。

†[Kjv]And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

†[Nkjv]Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very solemn lamentation. He observed seven days of mourning for his father.

†[BBE]And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

†[GNT] When they came to the threshing place at Atad east of the Jordan, they mourned loudly for a long time, and Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for seven days.

†[NIV]When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly; and there Joseph observed a seven-day period of mourning for his father.

本会注释　　约但河外。送葬的队伍没有选择最短的路线，经迦萨穿过非利士地，也没有经过别是巴，而是绕过死海。我们不知道他们为什么选择这条迂回的较长路线，这可能是出于政治的原因。我们对希克索斯时代埃及与巴勒斯坦之间的关系所知甚少，南巴勒斯坦局势的不稳定可能导致约瑟选择了这一条到希伯仑的不寻常路线。
　　亚达的禾场。禾场是一大块用牛来碾谷子的空地，能容纳随约瑟而来的大队人马。亚达可能是主人的名字，也可能指这里长满了王紫萁，因为希伯来文`atad就是王紫萁。
　　他们就在那里大大地号咷痛哭。在古埃及陵墓中的浮雕和壁画显示埃及人为死者进行的公开哀悼非常激情和狂热。他们撕裂衣袍、捶胸、在头上扬灰和土，并随着去掉响片的小手鼓发出的乐声吟唱出殡曲。

创50:11 迦南的居民见亚达禾场上的哀哭，就说：“这是埃及人一场极大的哀哭。”因此那地方名叫亚伯麦西，是在约但河东。

†[吕]那地的居民、迦南人、见亚达禾场上的哀悼，就说：“这是给埃及人所行的一场伤痛的哀悼”；因此那地方名叫亚伯麦西，是在约但河东边。

†[思]住在当地的客纳罕人见了阿塔得打禾场上的丧礼，就说：“这为埃及人实是一场极备哀荣的丧礼。”因而给那在约但对岸的地方，起名叫阿贝耳米兹辣殷。

†[当代]迦南的居民看见他们的丧礼，就说：“埃及人在这儿哀悼痛哭，伤心极了。”于是，他们就改称那地方叫亚伯麦西，就是“埃及人哀哭”的意思。

†[新译]住在那地的迦南人看见了亚达禾场的哀悼，就说：“这是埃及人一场非常伤痛的哀悼。”因此，在约旦河东岸的那地方名叫亚伯麦西。

†[Wlb]迦南居民、见其在亚达禾场号哭、则曰、埃及人之悲哀、甚矣哉、故其地名曰亚伯麦西、在约但东、

†[Xdv]迦南人看见这一大群人在亚达禾场哀悼，就说：“埃及人的哀悼多严肃啊！”因此这地方叫埃布尔麦西（跟希伯来语埃及人的哀悼发音相近）。

†[Kjv]And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.

†[Nkjv]And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning of the Egyptians." Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

†[BBE]And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

†[GNT] When the citizens of Canaan saw those people mourning at Atad, they said, "What a solemn ceremony of mourning the Egyptians are holding!" That is why the place was named Abel Mizraim.

†[NIV]When the Canaanites who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning." That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim.

本会注释　　出殡的队伍在亚达（第10节）的禾场停留了七天，作为哀悼的一个特别时期。在此期间，当地的居民对埃及人为他们的高官父亲的哀哭留下了深刻的印象。这一不寻常的事件使迦南人称那地方为亚伯麦西，即“埃及的草场”。该词`abel（草场）与`ebel（哀哭）具有相同的辅音，故一语双关。

创50:12 雅各的儿子们就遵着他父亲所吩咐的办了，

†[吕]雅各的儿子们是这样照他所吩咐的给他办了。

†[思]雅各伯的儿子们完全照他们的父亲所吩咐的给他办了：

†[当代]这样，以色列的儿子们就遵照著父亲的遗言，把一切都办好了。他们把他的遗体带回迦南去，安葬在幔利对面、麦比拉田间的洞穴里，那洞穴和田地都是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买回来作坟地的。

†[新译]雅各的众子就照着父亲嘱咐他们的去作，

†[Wlb]雅各诸子、循父命而行、

†[Xdv]雅各的儿子们遵照父亲的吩咐，

†[Kjv]And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:

†[Nkjv]So his sons did for him just as he had commanded them.

†[BBE]So his sons did as he had given them orders to do:

†[GNT] So Jacob's sons did as he had commanded them;

†[NIV]So Jacob's sons did as he had commanded them:

创50:13 把他搬到迦南地，葬在幔利前、麦比拉田间的洞里；那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买来为业，作坟地的。 (串)创23:17;49:30|徒7:16

†[吕]儿子们把他运到迦南地，将他埋葬在麦比拉田地间的洞里；那洞和田地是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗崙买来做业产为坟地的；是在幔利东面。

†[思]将他运到客纳罕地，葬在面对玛默勒的玛革培拉田的山洞内；这块田是亚巴郎由赫特人厄斐龙买了来作为私有坟地。

†[当代]－

†[新译]把雅各运到迦南地，葬在麦比拉田间的洞里。那地方在幔利的前面，是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买下来作坟地的。

†[Wlb]舁父至迦南、葬于麦比拉田之穴、与幔利相对、昔亚伯拉罕自赫人以弗仑、所购为业之冢地、

†[Xdv]把他的尸体运到迦南，葬在幔利东边的麦比拉洞里；这洞是在亚伯拉罕从赫人以弗仑买过来作坟地的田间。

†[Kjv]For 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 buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

†[Nkjv]For his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place.

†[BBE]For they took him into the land of Canaan and put him to rest in the hollow rock in the field of Machpelah, which Abraham got with the field, for a resting-place, from Ephron the Hittite at Mamre.

†[GNT] they carried his body to Canaan and buried it in the cave at Machpelah east of Mamre in the field which Abraham had bought from Ephron the Hittite for a burial ground.

†[NIV]They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, which Abraham had bought as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, along with the field.

本会注释　　埃及人似乎留在了亚达的禾场，只有约瑟和他的兄弟们前往迦南，在希伯仑的麦比拉洞安葬了他们的父亲。关于这个安葬地点的历史，见@创23@章注释。

创50:14 约瑟葬了他父亲以后，就和众弟兄，并一切同他上去葬他父亲的人，都回埃及去了。

†[吕]约瑟埋葬了他父亲以后，就回埃及去，他和他的弟兄跟一切同他上去埋葬他父亲的人都回去。

†[思]若瑟葬了父亲以后，遂和他兄弟们，以及所有与他上来埋葬他父亲的人们，返回了埃及。

†[当代]葬礼完成了以后，约瑟就跟他的兄弟，还有一切随行的人回到埃及去了。

†[新译]约瑟埋葬了他父亲以后，就和他的众兄弟，以及所有与他一同上去埋葬他父亲的人都回埃及去了。

†[Wlb]约瑟葬父既毕、与昆弟及送葬者、咸归埃及、

†[Xdv]约瑟埋葬父亲后就跟兄弟们和所有参加葬礼的人回埃及去。

†[Kjv]And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

†[Nkjv]And after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all who went up with him to bury his father.

†[BBE]And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.

†[GNT] After Joseph had buried his father, he returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had gone with him for the funeral.

†[NIV]After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.

本会注释　　雅各的后代在迦南永久定居的时候还没有来到。他们必须先成为“一个大族”（创46:3）。

创50:15 约瑟的哥哥们见父亲死了，就说：“或者约瑟怀恨我们，照着我们从前待他一切的恶足足地报复我们。”

†[吕]约瑟的哥哥们见他们父亲死了，就说：“或者约瑟会怀恨我们，照我们从前向他行的一切坏事、足足地报复我们。”

†[思]若瑟的兄弟们见父亲已死，就说：“或者若瑟仍怀恨我们，要报复我们对他所行的一切恶事。”

†[当代]约瑟的哥哥们看见父亲死了，就惊慌起来，说：“约瑟会不会怀恨在心，报复我们从前在他身上所做的种种恶行呢？”

†[新译]约瑟的哥哥们看见父亲死了，就说：“或者约瑟仍然会怀恨我们，要报复我们从前向他所作的一切恶事。”

†[Wlb]约瑟昆弟见父既没、相语曰、约瑟或憾我、念我之恶待、而尽报之、

†[Xdv]父亲死后，约瑟的兄弟们想：“如果约瑟怀恨在心，照我们从前对他所做的报复我们，我们怎么办呢？”

†[Kjv]And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.

†[Nkjv]When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him."

†[BBE]Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

†[GNT] After the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said, "What if Joseph still hates us and plans to pay us back for all the harm we did to him?"

†[NIV]When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?"

†[当代]于是，他们就派人去对约瑟说：“你父亲临终的时候曾经吩咐我们对你说：‘你要宽恕你哥哥们从前的罪行，求你就饶恕上帝的仆人所犯的一切过失吧！’”约瑟听见这些话，就哭起来了。

†[新译]他们就打发人到约瑟那里，说：“你父亲未死以前曾经嘱咐说：

†[Wlb]乃遣人语约瑟曰、父未没之先、嘱云、

†[Xdv]于是他们请人转告约瑟，说：“父亲临终的时候

†[Kjv]And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,

†[Nkjv]So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, "Before your father died he commanded, saying,

†[BBE]So they sent word to Joseph, saying, Your father, before his death, gave us orders, saying,

†[GNT] So they sent a message to Joseph: "Before our father died,

†[NIV]So they sent word to Joseph, saying, "Your father left these instructions before he died:

本会注释　　约瑟的兄弟们现在十分害怕，担心他会报复他们以前的残酷。他们以为约瑟对父亲的亲情使他不在父亲活着的时候报复他们。这句话的原意为他们打发他们当中的一位，很可能是便雅悯，去请求约瑟尊重他们父亲在他临终前的遗愿并恳求饶恕。我们没有理由把他们提到父亲的遗愿仅仅看作一种借口。雅各在他的祝福中没有提到他们的罪，证明他作为父亲已经饶恕儿子们的罪了，因为上帝的恩典已使他们的罪行成为了其家族得救的途径。

创50:17 ‘你们要对约瑟这样说：从前你哥哥们恶待你，求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶。’如今求你饶恕你父亲上帝之仆人的过犯。”他们对约瑟说这话，约瑟就哭了。 (串)创49:25

†[吕]‘你们要对约瑟这样说：从前你哥哥们以恶待你；恳求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶’：如今求你饶恕你父亲的上帝之仆人的过犯。”他们对约瑟说话的时候，约瑟哭了。

†[思]你们要这样对若瑟说：请你务必饶恕你兄弟们的过失和罪恶，因为他们实在虐待了你。现在，求你饶恕你父亲的天主的仆人们的过失罢！”若瑟听他们对他说出这样的话，就哭了起来。

†[当代]－

†[新译]‘你们要对约瑟这样说：从前你的哥哥们恶待你，求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶。现在求你饶恕你父亲　神之仆人的过犯。’”约瑟听见这话就哭了。

†[Wlb]当谓约瑟曰、昔诸昆恶待于尔、请宥诸昆之罪、我侪为汝父上帝之仆、请赦我过、言间、约瑟哭焉、

†[Xdv]交代我们告诉你一句话：‘你哥哥们得罪了你，求你饶恕他们的罪过。’我们是你父亲的上帝的仆人；所以，求你赦免我们所犯的过错。”约瑟听到这话就哭了。

†[Kjv]So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him

†[Nkjv]"Thus you shall say to Joseph: "I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you."' Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

†[BBE]You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping

†[GNT] he told us to ask you, "Please forgive the crime your brothers committed when they wronged you.' Now please forgive us the wrong that we, the servants of your father's God, have done." Joseph cried when he received this message.

†[NIV]This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.' Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father." When their message came to him, Joseph wept

本会注释　　兄弟们没有亲自来到约瑟面前。他们对他的爱竟有这样的误解，令他感到非常伤心。

创50:18 他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前，说：“我们是你的仆人。” (串)创37:10

†[吕]他的哥哥们又来伏在他面前说：“看哪，我们是你的奴仆。”

†[思]后来他的兄弟们还亲自来，俯伏在他面前说：“看，我们都是你的奴隶！”

†[当代]约瑟的哥哥们来见他，俯伏在他的面前，对他说：“我们是你的奴仆。”

†[新译]他的哥哥们也亲自来了，俯伏在他面前，说：“看哪，我们是你的奴仆。”

†[Wlb]昆弟咸至、俯伏其前、曰我为尔仆、

†[Xdv]后来，他的哥哥们亲自来见他，俯伏在他面前，说：“我们都是你的奴仆。”

†[Kjv]And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.

†[Nkjv]Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, "Behold, we are your servants."

†[BBE]Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.

†[GNT] Then his brothers themselves came and bowed down before him. "Here we are before you as your slaves," they said.

†[NIV]His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. "We are your slaves," they said.

本会注释　　得知约瑟没有报复的意思后，他们才敢亲自前来见他，表示愿意作他的奴隶。其实约瑟心中从来就没有想过要报复。他的心灵充满了宽恕之心。他虽然亲身体会到人类的奸诈，却从未怀过任何怨恨的念头。他急忙向兄弟们保证说，他们不必怕他，并且可以完全相信他。

创50:19 约瑟对他们说：“不要害怕，我岂能代替上帝呢？ (串)创30:2王下5:7

†[吕]约瑟对他们说：“不要害怕；我哪能代替上帝呢？

†[思]若瑟对他们说：“不要害怕！我岂能替代天主？

†[当代]约瑟对他们说：“你们不用怕我，难道我可以代替上帝的位置吗？

†[新译]约瑟对他们说：“你们不要害怕，我怎能代替　神呢？

†[Wlb]约瑟曰、毋惧、我岂代为上帝乎、

†[Xdv]约瑟告诉他们：“用不着害怕，我不能替代上帝。

†[Kjv]And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

†[Nkjv]Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

†[BBE]And Joseph said, Have no fear: am I in the place of God?

†[GNT] But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid; I can't put myself in the place of God.

†[NIV]But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God?

创50:20 从前你们的意思是要害我，但上帝的意思原是好的，要保全许多人的性命，成就今日的光景。 (串)创45:5,7

†[吕]在你们，你们从前所图谋的原是要加害于我，但上帝所图谋的却很好，就是为要成就像今天这样、叫许多人得以存活。

†[思]你们原有意对我作的恶事，天主却有意使之变成好事，造成了今日的结果：挽救了许多人民的性命。

†[当代]从前你们是要加害于我，但上帝却把这些恶事变为好事；祂带领我，给我今天这样的地位，是要我去拯救许多人的性命。

†[新译]从前你们有意要害我，但　神有美好的意思在其中，为要成就今日的光景，使许多人的性命得以保全。

†[Wlb]尔曹意欲害我、而上帝反益我、以保兆人之命、得如今日、

†[Xdv]你们本来想害我，但是上帝却化恶为善，为的是要保存许多人的生命；由于从前所发生的事，今天才有这许多人活着。

†[Kjv]But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

†[Nkjv]But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

†[BBE]As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.

†[GNT] You plotted evil against me, but God turned it into good, in order to preserve the lives of many people who are alive today because of what happened.

†[NIV]You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

创50:21 现在你们不要害怕，我必养活你们和你们的妇人、孩子。”于是约瑟用亲爱的话安慰他们。 (串)创45:11;47:12|创34:3

†[吕]现在你们不要害怕；我必定供养你们和你们那些弱小的。”于是约瑟安慰他们，和他们谈心。

†[思]所以，你们不必害怕，有我维持你们和你们的孩子。”他这样抚慰他们，使他们安心。

†[当代]因此，你们不用害怕，我会好好照顾你们一家人的。”约瑟就这样温柔地安慰他们，好叫他们安心。

†[新译]现在你们不要害怕，我必供养你们和你们的孩子。”于是约瑟用仁慈的话安慰他们。

†[Wlb]今尔勿恐、我必养尔、及尔子孙、遂以善言慰藉之、

†[Xdv]你们用不着害怕，我一定照顾你们和你们的儿女。”约瑟用仁慈的话安慰他们，使他们放心。

†[Kjv]Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

†[BBE]So now, have no fear: for I will take care of you and your little ones. So he gave them comfort with kind words.

†[GNT] You have nothing to fear. I will take care of you and your children." So he reassured them with kind words that touched their hearts.

†[NIV]So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children." And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

创50:22 约瑟和他父亲的眷属都住在埃及。约瑟活了一百一十岁。

†[吕]约瑟就住在埃及，他和他父亲的家都住下。约瑟活了一百一十岁。

†[思]若瑟和他父亲的家属，以后就住在埃及。若瑟活到了一百一十岁，

†[当代]于是，约瑟和父亲的一家就在埃及住下来。约瑟活到一百一十岁，

†[新译]约瑟和他父亲的家人，都住在埃及。约瑟活了一百一十岁。

†[Wlb]约瑟与父家属居埃及、享寿百有十岁、

†[Xdv]约瑟和他父亲的家族继续住在埃及。他死的时候是一百一十岁。

†[Kjv]And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.

†[Nkjv]So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.

†[BBE]Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.

†[GNT] Joseph continued to live in Egypt with his father's family; he was a hundred and ten years old when he died.

†[NIV]Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father's family. He lived a hundred and ten years

本会注释　　约瑟是在他父亲九十一岁时出生的（见@创27:1@；@创47:9@注释），所以他在他父亲去世时是五十六岁，他比他父亲多活了五十四年。

创50:23 约瑟得见以法莲第三代的子孙。玛拿西的孙子、玛吉的儿子也养在约瑟的膝上。 (串)伯42:16诗128:6|民32:39代上7:14,15|创30:3

†[吕]约瑟见了以法莲系的第三代子孙（即：孙的孙）；玛拿西的儿子玛吉的儿子们也是养在约瑟膝上的。

†[思]见到了厄弗辣因的第叁代子孙；默纳协的儿子玛基尔的儿子们，也都生在若瑟的膝下。

†[当代]还可以看到以法莲的第三代子孙；玛拿西的儿子玛吉的众子也归在约瑟的膝下。

†[新译]约瑟见到以法莲的第三代子孙；玛拿西的儿子玛吉的众子，也归在约瑟的膝下。

†[Wlb]得见以法莲之子孙三代、玛拿西孙、玛吉之子、亦育于其膝前、

†[Xdv]他活着见到以法莲的的孙儿，也拘过玛拿西的孙儿──玛吉的孩子们──在膝上。

†[Kjv]And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.

†[Nkjv]Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. The children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were also brought up on Joseph's knees.

†[BBE]And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

†[GNT] He lived to see Ephraim's children and grandchildren. He also lived to receive the children of Machir son of Manasseh into the family.

†[NIV]and saw the third generation of Ephraim's children. Also the children of Makir son of Manasseh were placed at birth on Joseph's knees.

本会注释　　我们不知道这里指的是以法莲的曾孙还是孙子。十诫第二条诫命中“三四代”的说法（出20:5；申5:9）显然包括父亲及孙子和曾孙。在民14:18中也有同样的意义。但出34:7原文的顺序是：父、子、子之子、第三和第四代，最后的两代显然是指曾孙和重孙。由于有时父亲被包括在内，有时又排除在外，因此我们无法确定约瑟所见到的是哪一代。摩西显然是想说明约瑟活着见到他父亲之祝福的初步应验。约瑟得见以法莲的曾孙并不是不可能。由于他的两个儿子是在他三十七岁前出生的（创41:50），所以他在五六十岁的时候可能就有孙子，二十年后当他八十岁的时候，他就可以有曾孙了。在他大约一百岁的时候，他就可能有重孙了。
　　玛吉的儿子。对于玛拿西的孩子，摩西讲得更具体一些，特别提到约瑟得见他自己的曾孙。
　　养在约瑟的膝上。见@创30:3@注释。

创50:24 约瑟对他弟兄们说：“我要死了，但上帝必定看顾你们，领你们从这地上去，到他起誓所应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地。” (串)创15:18;26:3;28:13;35:12

†[吕]约瑟对他弟兄们说：“我快要死了；但上帝必定眷顾你们，领你们从这地上去、到他所起誓应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的地。”

†[思]若瑟对自己的兄弟们说：“我快要死了；但天主要看顾你们，领你们由这地回到他誓许给亚巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯的地方去。”

†[当代]一天，约瑟对他的弟兄说：“我快要离开你们了，但上帝一定会看顾你们，并且带你们离开埃及，回到祂向亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各所应许的地方去的。”

†[新译]约瑟对他的兄弟们说：“我快要死了，但　神必定眷顾你们，领你们从这地上到他起誓应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各之地去。”

†[Wlb]约瑟谓昆弟曰、我濒死矣、上帝必眷顾尔、导尔出斯土、反至所誓赐亚伯拉罕以撒雅各之地、

†[Xdv]约瑟对他的兄弟们说：“我快要死了，但是上帝一定照顾你们，带你们离开这地，到他应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒，和雅各的那片土地去。”

†[Kjv]And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

†[Nkjv]And Joseph said to his brethren, "I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

†[BBE]Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.

†[GNT] He said to his brothers, "I am about to die, but God will certainly take care of you and lead you out of this land to the land he solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

†[NIV]Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

本会注释　　当约瑟看到死亡临近时，就向兄弟们表达了自己坚信上帝应许的应验（见创46:4,5；15:16）。他叫他们起誓，当上帝领他们回应许之地时，他们要把他的埋葬在那里。这一愿望后来实现了。他去世以后，象他的父亲一样被薰尸（见第2,3节注释），安放在一个棺材里。他的遗体可能按照埃及人的习惯，临时性安葬在事先预备好的陵墓中，一直保留到以色列人出埃及的时候。那时，以色列人实现了他的遗愿，将他的遗体运到迦南埋葬在示剑，就是那块雅各所购买赐给了他儿子约瑟的土地（创33:19；48:22；书24:32）。
　　先祖时代的历史在约瑟临终的一个信心之举中结束了。他的棺材或陵墓不断提醒在埃及寄居的人：他们永久的居所是在迦南而不是在埃及，同时也经常告戒他们要将目光从埃及转向迦南；要凭着耐心和信心地等候上帝对他们祖先承诺的应验。

创50:25 约瑟叫以色列的子孙起誓说：“上帝必定看顾你们；你们要把我的骸骨从这里搬上去。” (串)出13:19书24:32

†[吕]约瑟叫以色列的子孙起誓、就说：“上帝必定眷顾你们；你们要把我的骸骨从这里搬上去。”

†[思]若瑟又叫以色列的儿子们起誓说：“当天主看顾你们时，你们应将我的骨骸由这带回去。”

†[当代]约瑟要他们起誓，答应把他的骸骨带回迦南，他又再一次安慰他们，说上帝必定看顾他们。

†[新译]约瑟又叫以色列的子孙起誓，说：“　神必定眷顾你们，那时你们要把我的骸骨从这里带上去应许之地。”

†[Wlb]约瑟使以色列族发誓、曰、上帝必眷顾尔、须携我骨出于斯土、

†[Xdv]约瑟又叫以色列人发誓；他说：“你们要向我发誓。当上帝带你们往那片土地去的时候，你们要把我的骸骨一起带走。”

†[Kjv]And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.

†[Nkjv]Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."

†[BBE]Then Joseph made the children of Israel take an oath, saying, God will certainly give effect to his word, and you are to take my bones away from here.

†[GNT] Then Joseph asked his people to make a vow. "Promise me," he said, "that when God leads you to that land, you will take my body with you."

†[NIV]And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath and said, "God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place."
