Genesis 48
1 After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Бысть же по глаголех сих, и поведано бысть Иосифу, яко отец твой изнемогает: и поим два сына своя, Манассию и Ефрема, прииде ко Иакову.
2 Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
Поведаша же Иакову, глаголюще: се, сын твой Иосиф грядет к тебе. И укрепився Израиль седе на одре,
3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
и рече Иаков ко Иосифу: Бог мой явися мне в Лузе, в земли Ханаани, и благослови мя
4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’
и рече ми: се, Аз возращу тя и умножу тя, и сотворю тя в собрания языков: и дам ти землю сию и семени твоему по тебе во одержание вечное.
5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
Ныне убо два сына твоя, иже быша тебе в земли Египетстей прежде пришествия моего к тебе во Египет, мои суть: Ефрем и Манассиа, аки Рувим и Симеон будут мне:
6 Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
сыны же, яже аще родиши по сих, будут тебе: во имя братии своея призовутся ко жребиям оных:
7 As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”
аз же егда идях от Месопотамии Сирския, умре Рахиль мати твоя в земли Ханаани, приближающуся ми ко ипподрому Хаврафы земли, еже приити во Ефрафу: и погребох ю на пути ипподрома: сей есть Вифлеем.
8 Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
Видев же Израиль сыны Иосифовы, рече: что тебе сии?
9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
Рече же Иосиф отцу своему: сынове мои суть, яже даде ми Бог зде. И рече Иаков: приведи ми я, да благословлю их.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Очи же Израилю тяжко видеста от старости, и не можаше видети: и приближи их к нему, и лобза их, и объят я.
11 Israel said to Joseph, “I did not think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
И рече Израиль ко Иосифу: се, лица твоего не лишихся, и се, показа ми Бог и семя твое.
12 Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
И отведе их Иосиф от колен его, и поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.
Поим же Иосиф два сына своя, Ефрема в десницу, прямо левицы Израиля, Манассию же в левую, прямо десницы Израилевы, приближи их к нему.
14 Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Простер же Израиль руку десную, возложи на главу Ефремлю, сей же бяше менший, а левую на главу Манассиину, пременив руце,
15 He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
и благослови я и рече: Бог, Емуже благоугодиша отцы мои пред ним, Авраам и Исаак, Бог, Иже питает мя измлада даже до дне сего,
16 the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
Ангел, иже мя избавляет от всех зол, да благословит детища сия, и прозовется в них имя мое, и имя отец моих, Авраама и Исаака, и да умножатся во множество многое на земли.
17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
Видев же Иосиф, яко возложи отец его руку десную свою на главу Ефремлю, тяжко ему явися: и прия Иосиф руку отца своего отяти ю от главы Ефремли на главу Манассиину,
18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”
и рече Иосиф отцу своему: не тако, отче: сей бо (есть) первенец, возложи руку десную твою на главу его.
19 His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”
И не хотяше, но рече: вем, чадо, вем: и сей будет в люди, и сей вознесется: но брат его менший болий его будет, и семя его будет во множество языков.
20 He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in your name, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
И благослови я в том дни, глаголя: в вас благословится Израиль, глаголюще: да сотворит тя Бог якоже Ефрема и яко Манассию. И постави Ефрема вышше Манассии.
21 Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Рече же Израиль Иосифу: се, аз умираю, и будет Бог с вами, и возвратит вас от земли сея на землю отец ваших:
22 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
аз же даю ти Сикиму избранную свыше братии твоея, юже взях из руки Аморрейски мечем моим и луком.
