Mots pour Joseph

2 Nephi 3:1

Léhi s’adresse à Joseph, qui est né dans le désert.

And now I speak unto you, Joseph, my last–born. Thou wast born in the wilderness of mine afflictions; yea, in the days of my greatest sorrow did thy mother bear thee.

2 Nephi 3:2

Que cette terre soit consacrée comme un héritage pour toi, Joseph, tant que tu gardes les commandements.

And may the Lord consecrate also unto thee this land, which is a most precious land, for thine inheritance and the inheritance of thy seed with thy brethren, for thy security forever, if it so be that ye shall keep the commandments of the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 3:3–4

Que le Seigneur te bénisse pour que ta postérité soit préservée ; nous sommes des descendants de Joseph d’Égypte.

And now, Joseph, my last–born, whom I have brought out of the wilderness of mine afflictions, may the Lord bless thee forever, for thy seed shall not utterly be destroyed. For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins; and I am a descendant of Joseph who was carried captive into Egypt.

2 Nephi 3:4–5

Joseph a vu notre époque et a vu une branche juste de sa descendance qui connaîtrait le Messie.

And great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph. Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.

2 Nephi 3:6

Joseph prophétise au sujet d’un voyant choisi qui descendra de lui.

For Joseph truly testified, saying:

“A seer shall the Lord my God raise up,
who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.”

2 Nephi 3:14–15

Joseph a prophétisé que ce voyant sera béni, sera nommé d’après lui-même et portera également le nom de son père.

And thus prophesied Joseph, saying:

2 Nephi 3:22–23

En raison de cette alliance, Joseph, tu es béni, et ta postérité écoutera ces paroles et sera préservée.

And now, behold, my son Joseph, after this manner did my father of old prophesy. Wherefore, because of this covenant thou art blessed; for thy seed shall not be destroyed, for they shall hearken unto the words of the book.

2 Nephi 3:24

Un puissant sera parmi vos descendants, et il accomplira de puissantes merveilles pour réaliser une restauration.

And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren.

2 Nephi 3:25

Écoutez votre frère Néphi, et vous serez bénis.

And now, blessed art thou, Joseph. Behold, thou art little; wherefore hearken unto the words of thy brother, Nephi, and it shall be done unto thee even according to the words which I have spoken. Remember the words of thy dying father. Amen.
