wn to me。〃
10 约瑟将这梦告诉他父亲和他哥哥们，他父亲就责备他说，你作的这是什么梦。难道我和你母亲，你弟兄果然要来俯伏在地，向你下拜吗？
When he told his father as well as his brothers； his father rebuked him and said； 〃What is this dream you had？ Will your mother and I and your brothers actually e and bow down to the ground before you？〃
11 他哥哥们都嫉妒他，他父亲却把这话存在心里。
His brothers were jealous of him； but his father kept the matter in mind。
12 约瑟的哥哥们往示剑去放他们父亲的羊。
Now his brothers had gone to graze their father's flocks near Shechem；
13 以色列对约瑟说，你哥哥们不是在示剑放羊吗？你来，我要打发你往他们那里去。约瑟说，我在这里。
and Israel said to Joseph； 〃As you know； your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem。 e； I am going to send you to them。〃 〃Very well；〃 he replied。
14 以色列说，你去看看你哥哥们平安不平安，群羊平安不平安，就回来报信给我。于是打发他出希伯仑谷，他就往示剑去了。
So he said to him； 〃Go and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks； and bring word back to me。〃 Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron。 When Joseph arrived at Shechem；
15 有人遇见他在田野走迷了路，就问他说，你找什么？
a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him； 〃What are you looking for？〃
16 他说，我找我的哥哥们，求你告诉我，他们在何处放羊。
He replied； 〃I'm looking for my brothers。 Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks？〃
17 那人说，他们已经走了，我听见他们说要往多坍去。约瑟就去追赶他哥哥们，遇见他们在多坍。
〃They have moved on from here；〃 the man answered。 〃I heard them say； 'Let's go to Dothan。'〃 So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan。
18 他们远远地看见他，趁他还没有走到跟前，大家就同谋要害死他，
But they saw him in the distance； and before he reached them； they plotted to kill him。
19 彼此说，你看。那作梦的来了。
〃Here es that dreamer！〃 they said to each other。
20 来吧。我们将他杀了，丢在一个坑里，就说有恶兽把他吃了。我们且看他的梦将来怎么样。
〃e now； let's kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him。 Then we'll see what es of his dreams。〃
21 流便听见了，要救他脱离他们的手，说，我们不可害他的性命。
When Reuben heard this； he tried to rescue him from their hands。 〃Let's not take his life；〃 he said。
22 又说，不可流他的血，可以把他丢在这野地的坑里，不可下手害他。流便的意思是要救他脱离他们的手，把他归还他的父亲。
〃Don't shed any blood。 Throw him into this cistern here in the desert； but don't lay a hand on him。〃 Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father。
23 约瑟到了他哥哥们那里，他们就剥了他的外衣，就是他穿的那件彩衣，
So when Joseph came to his brothers； they stripped him of his robethe richly ornamented robe he was wearing
24 把他丢在坑里。那坑是空的，里头没有水。
and they took him and threw him into the cistern。 Now the cistern was empty； there was no water in it。
25 他们坐下吃饭，举目观看，见有一伙米甸的以实玛利人从基列来，用骆驼驮着香料，乳香，没药，要带下埃及去。
As they sat down to eat their meal； they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites ing from Gilead。 Their camels were loaded with spices； balm and myrrh； and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt。
26 犹大对众弟兄说，我们杀我们的兄弟，藏了他的血有什么益处呢？
Judah said to his brothers； 〃What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood？
27 我们不如将他卖给以实玛利人，不可下手害他。因为他是我们的兄弟，我们的骨肉。众弟兄就听从了他。
e； let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him； after all； he is our brother； our own flesh and blood。〃 His brothers agreed。
28 有些米甸的商人从那里经过，哥哥们就把约瑟从坑里拉上来，讲定二十舍客勒银子，把约瑟卖给以实玛利人。他们就把约瑟带到埃及去了。
So when the Midianite merchants came by； his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites； who took him to Egypt。
29 流便回到坑边，见约瑟不在坑里，就撕裂衣服，
When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there； he tore his clothes。
30 回到兄弟们那里，说，童子没有了。我往哪里去才好呢？
He went back to his brothers and said； 〃The boy isn't there！ Where can I turn now？〃
31 他们宰了一只公山羊，把约瑟的那件彩衣染了血，
Then they got Joseph's robe； slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood。
32 打发人送到他们的父亲那里，说，我们捡了这个。请认一认是你儿子的外衣不是，
They took the ornamented robe back to their father and said； 〃We found this。 Examine it to see whether it is your son's robe。〃
33 他认得，就说，这是我儿子的外衣。有恶兽把他吃了，约瑟被撕碎了。撕碎了。
He recognized it and said； 〃It is my son's robe！ Some ferocious animal has devoured him。 Joseph has surely been torn to pieces。〃
34 雅各便撕裂衣服，腰间围上麻布，为他儿子悲哀了多日。
Then Jacob tore his clothes； put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days。
35 他的儿女都起来安慰他，他却不肯受安慰，说，我必悲哀着下阴间，到我儿子那里。约瑟的父亲就为他哀哭。
All his sons and daughters came to fort him； but he refused to be forted。 〃No；〃 he said； 〃in mourning will I go down to the grave to my son。〃 So his father wept for him。
36 米甸人带约瑟到埃及，把他卖给法老的内臣护卫长波提乏。
Meanwhile； the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar； one of Pharaoh's officials； the captain of the guard。
1 那时，犹大离开他弟兄下去，到一个亚杜兰人名叫希拉的家里去。
At that time； Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah。
2 犹大在那里看见一个迦南人名叫书亚的女儿，就娶她为妻，与她同房，
There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua。 He married her and lay with her；
3 她就怀孕生了儿子，犹大给他起名叫珥。
she became pregnant and gave birth to a son； who was named Er。
4 她又怀孕生了儿子，母亲给他起名叫俄南。
She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan。
5 她复又生了儿子，给他起名叫示拉。她生示拉的时候，犹大正在基悉。
She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah。 It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him。
6 犹大为长子珥娶妻，名叫他玛。
Judah got a wife for Er； his firstborn； and her name was Tamar。
7 犹大的长子珥在耶和华眼中看为恶，耶和华就叫他死了。
But Er； Judah's firstborn； was wicked in the LORD'S sight； so the LORD put him to death。
8 犹大对俄南说，你当与你哥哥的妻子同房，向她尽你为弟的本分，为你哥哥生子立后。
Then Judah said to Onan； 〃Lie with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother…in…law to produce offspring for your brother。〃
9 俄南知道生子不归自己，所以同房的时候便遗在地，免得给他哥哥留后。
But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his； so whenever he lay with his brother's wife； he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother。
10 俄南所作的在耶和华眼中看为恶，耶和华也就叫他死了。
What he did was wicked in the LORD'S sight； so he put him to death also。
11 犹大心里说，恐怕示拉也死，像他两个哥哥一样，就对他儿妇他玛说，你去，在你父亲家里守寡，等我儿子示拉长大。他玛就回去，住在她父亲家里。
Judah then said to his daughter…in…law Tamar； 〃Live as a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up。〃 For he thought； 〃He may die too； just like his brothers。〃 So Tamar went to live in her father's house。
12 过了许久，犹大的妻子书亚的女儿死了。犹大得了安慰，就和他朋友亚杜兰人希拉上亭拿去，到他剪羊毛的人那里。
After a long time Judah's wife； the daughter of Shua； died。 When Judah had recovered from his grief； he went up to Timnah； to the men who were shearing his sheep； and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went with him。
13 有人告诉他玛说，你的公公上亭拿剪羊毛去了。
When Tamar was told； 〃Your father…in…law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep；〃
14 他玛见示拉已经长大，还没有娶她为妻，就脱了她作寡妇的衣裳，用帕子蒙着脸，又遮住身体，坐在亭拿路上的伊拿印城门口。
she took off her widow's clothes； covered herself with a veil to disguise herself； and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim； which is on the road to Timnah。 For she saw that； though Shelah had now grown up； she had not been given to him as his wife。
15 犹大看见她，以为是妓女，因为她蒙着脸。
When Judah saw her； he thought she was a prostitute； for she had covered her face。
16 犹大就转到她那里去，说，来吧。让我与你同寝。他原不知道是他的儿妇。他玛说，你要与我同寝，把什么给我呢？
Not realizing that she was his daughter…in…law； he went over to her by the roadside and said； 〃e now； let me sleep with you。〃 〃And what will you give me to sleep with you？〃 she asked。
17 犹大说，我从羊群里取一只山羊羔，打发人送来给你。他玛说，在未送以先，你愿意给我一个当头吗？
〃I'll send you a young goat from my flock；〃 he said。 〃Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it？〃 she asked。
18 他说，我给你什么当头呢？他玛说，你的印，你的带子，和你手里的杖。犹大就给了她，与她同寝，她就从犹大怀了孕。
He said； 〃What pledge should I give you？〃 〃Your seal and its cord； and the staff in your hand；〃 she answered。 So he gave them to her and slept with her； and she became pregnant by him。
