37：1 雅各住在迦南地，就是他父親寄居的地。

　　And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger， in the land of Canaan.

　　37：2 雅各的記略如下。約瑟十七歲與他哥哥們一同牧羊。他是個(gè)童子，與他父親的妾辟拉，悉帕的兒子們常在一處。約瑟將他哥哥們的惡行報(bào)給他們的父親。

　　These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph， being seventeen years old， was feeding the flock with his brethren； and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah， and with the sons of Zilpah， his father's wives： and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.

　　37：3 以色列原來(lái)愛(ài)約瑟過(guò)于愛(ài)他的眾子，因?yàn)榧s瑟是他年老生的。他給約瑟作了一件彩衣。

　　Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children， because he was the son of his old age： and he made him a coat of many colours.

　　37：4 約瑟的哥哥們見(jiàn)父親愛(ài)約瑟過(guò)于愛(ài)他們，就恨約瑟，不與他說(shuō)和睦的話。

　　And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren， they hated him， and could not speak peaceably unto him.

　　37：5 約瑟作了一夢(mèng)，告訴他哥哥們，他們就越發(fā)恨他。

　　And Joseph dreamed a dream， and he told it his brethren： and they hated him yet the more.

　　37：6 約瑟對(duì)他們說(shuō)，請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我所作的夢(mèng)，And he said unto them， Hear， I pray you， this dream which I have dreamed：

　　37：7 我們?cè)谔锢锢碳冢业睦ζ饋?lái)站著，你們的捆來(lái)圍著我的捆下拜。

　　For， behold， we were binding sheaves in the field， and， lo， my sheaf arose， and also stood upright； and， behold， your sheaves stood round about， and made obeisance to my sheaf.

　　37：8 他的哥哥們回答說(shuō)，難道你真要作我們的王嗎。難道你真要管轄我們嗎，他們就因?yàn)樗膲?mèng)和他的話越發(fā)恨他。

　　And his brethren said to him， Shalt thou indeed reign over us？ or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us？ And they hated him yet the more for his dreams， and for his words.

　　37：9 后來(lái)他又作了一夢(mèng)，也告訴他的哥哥們說(shuō)，看哪，我又作了一夢(mèng)，夢(mèng)見(jiàn)太陽(yáng)，月亮，與十一個(gè)星向我下拜。

　　And he dreamed yet another dream， and told it his brethren， and said， Behold， I have dreamed a dream more； and， behold， the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

　　37：10 約瑟將這夢(mèng)告訴他父親和他哥哥們，他父親就責(zé)備他說(shuō)，你作的這是什么夢(mèng)。難道我和你母親，你弟兄果然要來(lái)俯伏在地，向你下拜嗎，And he told it to his father， and to his brethren： and his father rebuked him， and said unto him， What is this dream that thou hast dreamed？ Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth？

　　37：11 他哥哥們都嫉妒他，他父親卻把這話存在心里。

　　And his brethren envied him； but his father observed the saying.

　　37：12 約瑟的哥哥們往示劍去放他們父親的羊。

　　And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

　　37：13 以色列對(duì)約瑟說(shuō)，你哥哥們不是在示劍放羊嗎。你來(lái)，我要打發(fā)你往他們那里去。約瑟說(shuō)，我在這里。

　　And Israel said unto Joseph， Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem？ come， and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him， Here am I.

　　37：14 以色列說(shuō)，你去看看你哥哥們平安不平安，群羊平安不平安，就回來(lái)報(bào)信給我。于是打發(fā)他出希伯侖谷，他就往示劍去了。

　　And he said to him， Go， I pray thee， see whether it be well with thy brethren， and well with the flocks； and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron， and he came to Shechem.

　　37：15 有人遇見(jiàn)他在田野走迷了路，就問(wèn)他說(shuō)，你找什么，And a certain man found him， and， behold， he was wandering in the field： and the man asked him， saying， What seekest thou？

　　37：16 他說(shuō)，我找我的哥哥們，求你告訴我，他們?cè)诤翁幏叛颉?/p>

　　And he said， I seek my brethren： tell me， I pray thee， where they feed their flocks.

　　37：17 那人說(shuō)，他們已經(jīng)走了，我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)他們說(shuō)要往多坍去。約瑟就去追趕他哥哥們，遇見(jiàn)他們?cè)诙嗵?/p>

　　And the man said， They are departed hence； for I heard them say， Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren， and found them in Dothan.

　　37：18 他們遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地看見(jiàn)他，趁他還沒(méi)有走到跟前，大家就同謀要害死他，And when they saw him afar off， even before he came near unto them， they conspired against him to slay him.

　　37：19 彼此說(shuō)，你看。那作夢(mèng)的來(lái)了。

　　And they said one to another， Behold， this dreamer cometh.

　　37：20 來(lái)吧。我們將他殺了，丟在一個(gè)坑里，就說(shuō)有惡獸把他吃了。我們且看他的夢(mèng)將來(lái)怎嗎樣。

　　Come now therefore， and let us slay him， and cast him into some pit， and we will say， Some evil beast hath devoured him： and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

　　37：21 流便聽(tīng)見(jiàn)了，要救他脫離他們的手，說(shuō)，我們不可害他的性命。

　　And Reuben heard it， and he delivered him out of their hands； and said， Let us not kill him.

　　37：22 又說(shuō)，不可流他的血，可以把他丟在這野地的坑里，不可下手害他。流便的意思是要救他脫離他們的手，把他歸還他的父親。

　　And Reuben said unto them， Shed no blood， but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness， and lay no hand upon him； that he might rid him out of their hands， to deliver him to his father again.

　　37：23 約瑟到了他哥哥們那里，他們就剝了他的外衣，，就是他穿的那件彩衣，And it came to pass， when Joseph was come unto his brethren， that they stript Joseph out of his coat， his coat of many colours that was on him；

　　37：24 把他丟在坑里。那坑是空的，里頭沒(méi)有水。

　　And they took him， and cast him into a pit： and the pit was empty， there was no water in it.

　　37：25 他們坐下吃飯，舉目觀看，見(jiàn)有一夥米甸的以實(shí)瑪利人從基列來(lái)，用駱駝馱著香料，乳香，沒(méi)藥，要帶下埃及去。

　　And they sat down to eat bread： and they lifted up their eyes and looked， and， behold， a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh， going to carry it down to Egypt.

　　37：26 猶大對(duì)眾弟兄說(shuō)，我們殺我們的兄弟，藏了他的血有什么益處呢。

　　And Judah said unto his brethren， What profit is it if we slay our brother， and conceal his blood？

　　37：27 我們不如將他賣(mài)給以實(shí)瑪利人，不可下手害他。因?yàn)樗俏覀兊男值埽覀兊墓侨狻１姷苄志吐?tīng)從了他。

　　Come， and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites， and let not our hand be upon him； for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

　　37：28 有些米甸的商人從那里經(jīng)過(guò)，哥哥們就把約瑟從坑里拉上來(lái)，講定二十舍客勒銀子，把約瑟賣(mài)給以實(shí)瑪利人。他們就把約瑟帶到埃及去了。

　　Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen； and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit， and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver： and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

　　37：29 流便回到坑邊，見(jiàn)約瑟不在坑里，就撕裂衣服，And Reuben returned unto the pit； and， behold， Joseph was not in the pit； and he rent his clothes.

　　37：30 回到兄弟們那里，說(shuō)，童子沒(méi)有了。我往哪里去才好呢，And he returned unto his brethren， and said， The child is not； and I， whither shall I go？

　　37：31 他們?cè)琢艘恢还窖颍鸭s瑟的那件彩衣染了血，And they took Joseph's coat， and killed a kid of the goats， and dipped the coat in the blood；

　　37：32 打發(fā)人送到他們的父親那里，說(shuō)，我們撿了這個(gè)。請(qǐng)認(rèn)一認(rèn)是你兒子的外衣不是，And they sent the coat of many colours， and they brought it to their father； and said， This have we found： know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

　　37：33 他認(rèn)得，就說(shuō)，這是我兒子的外衣。有惡獸把他吃了，約瑟被撕碎了。撕碎了。

　　And he knew it， and said， It is my son's coat； an evil beast hath devoured him； Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

　　37：34 雅各便撕裂衣服，腰間圍上麻布，為他兒子悲哀了多日。

　　And Jacob rent his clothes， and put sackcloth upon his loins， and mourned for his son many days.

　　37：35 他的兒女都起來(lái)安慰他，他卻不肯受安慰，說(shuō)，我必悲哀著下陰間，到我兒子那里。約瑟的父親就為他哀哭。

　　And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him； but he refused to be comforted； and he said， For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

　　37：36 米甸人帶約瑟到埃及，把他賣(mài)給法老的內(nèi)臣護(hù)衛(wèi)長(zhǎng)波提乏。

　　And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar， an officer of Pharaoh's， and captain of the guard.
