Genesis 48
1 Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So he set out with 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 When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel rallied his strength and sat up in 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 there He blessed me
и рече Иаков ко Иосифу: Бог мой явися мне в Лузе, в земли Ханаани, и благослови мя
4 and told me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you; I will make you a multitude of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you as 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 And now your two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you here shall be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are 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 Any children born to you after them shall be yours, and they shall be called by the names of their brothers in the territory they inherit.
сыны же, яже аще родиши по сих, будут тебе: во имя братии своея призовутся ко жребиям оных:
7 Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way in the land of Canaan, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, 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 When Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he asked, “Who are these?”
Видев же Израиль сыны Иосифовы, рече: что тебе сии?
9 Joseph said to his father, “They are the sons God has given me in this place.” So Jacob said, “Please bring them to me, that I may 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 Israel’s eyesight was poor because of old age; he could hardly see. Joseph brought his sons to him, and his father 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 “I never expected to see your face again,” Israel said to Joseph, “but now God has let me see your children as well.”
И рече Израиль ко Иосифу: се, лица твоего не лишихся, и се, показа ми Бог и семя твое.
12 Then Joseph removed his sons from his father’s knees and bowed facedown.
И отведе их Иосиф от колен его, и поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
13 And Joseph took both of them—with Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand—and brought them close 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 But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger; and crossing his hands, he put his left on Manasseh’s head, although 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 Then he blessed Joseph and said: “May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life 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 harm— may He bless these boys. And may they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they 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 had placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, he was displeased and took his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s.
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 “Not so, my father!” Joseph said. “This one 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 But his father refused. “I know, my son, I know!” he said. “He too shall become a people, and he too shall be great; nevertheless, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall 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 So that day Jacob blessed them and said: “By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put 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 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you and bring you back 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 And to you, as one who is above your brothers, I give the ridge of land that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.”
аз же даю ти Сикиму избранную свыше братии твоея, юже взях из руки Аморрейски мечем моим и луком.
