Genesis 43
1 Meanwhile, the famine pressed heavily on all the land.
Глад же одоле на земли.
2 And having consumed the provisions that they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Return and buy us a little food.”
Бысть же егда скончаша пшеницу ядуще, юже принесоша из Египта: и рече им отец их: паки шедше купите нам мало пищи.
3 Judah answered: “The man himself declared to us, under the attestation of an oath, saying: ‘You will not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.’
Рече же ему Иуда, глаголя: клятвою засвидетелствова нам муж господин земли (тоя) глаголя: не узрите лица моего, аще брат ваш менший не приидет с вами:
4 If therefore you are willing to send him with us, we will travel together, and we will buy necessities for you.
аще убо послеши брата нашего с нами, пойдем и купим тебе пищи:
5 But if you are not willing, we will not go. For the man, as we have often said, declared to us, saying: ‘You will not see my face without your youngest brother.’”
аще же не послеши брата нашего с нами, не пойдем: муж бо рече нам, глаголя: не узрите лица моего, аще брат ваш менший не приидет с вами.
6 Israel said to them, “You have done this for my misery, in that you revealed to him that you also had another brother.”
Рече же Израиль: почто зло сотвористе ми, поведавше мужу, яко есть вам брат?
7 But they responded: “The man questioned us in order, concerning our family: whether our father lived, if we had a brother. And we answered him respectively, according to what he demanded. How could we know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother with you?’”
Они же реша: вопрошая вопроси нас муж и рода нашего, глаголя: аще еще отец ваш жив есть, и аще есть вам брат? И поведахом ему по вопросу сему: еда ведехом, яко речет нам: приведите брата вашего?
8 Likewise, Judah said to his father: “Send the boy with me, so that we may set out and be able to live, lest we and our little ones should die.
Рече же Иуда ко Израилю, отцу своему: отпусти отрочища со мною: и воставше пойдем, да живи будем и не умрем, и мы и ты и имение наше:
9 I accept the boy; require him at my hand. Unless I lead him back and restore him to you, I will be guilty of a sin against you for all time.
аз же возму его: от руку моею взыщи его: аще не приведу его к тебе, и поставлю его пред тобою, грешен буду к тебе вся дни:
10 If a delay had not intervened, by now we would have returned here a second time.”
аще бо быхом не умедлили, уже возвратилися бы дважды.
11 Therefore, their father Israel said to them: “If it is necessary to do so, then do what you will. Take, in your vessels, from the best fruits of the land, and carry down gifts to the man: a little resin, and honey, and storax ointment, oil of myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
Рече же им Израиль отец их: аще тако есть, сие сотворите: возмите от плодов земных в сосуды своя и донесите человеку дары, ритину, мед, фимиама же и стакти, и теревинф и орехи:
12 Also, take with you double the money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done in error.
и сребро сугубо возмите в руце свои, и сребро обретенное во вретищах ваших возвратите с собою, да не како неведение есть:
13 But also take your brother, and go to the man.
и брата своего поимите, и воставше идите к мужу:
14 Then may my Almighty God cause him to be pleased by you. And send your brother, whom he holds, back with you, along with this one, Benjamin. But as for me, without my children, I will be like one who is bereaved.”
Бог же мой да даст вам благодать пред мужем и отпустит брата вашего единаго, и Вениамина: аз бо якоже обезчадех, обезчадех.
15 Therefore, the men took the gifts, and double the money, and Benjamin. And they went down into Egypt, and they stood in the presence of Joseph.
Вземше же мужие дары сия, и сребро сугубое взяша в руце свои, и Вениамина: и воставше приидоша во Египет, и сташа пред Иосифом.
16 And when he had seen them and Benjamin together, he instructed the steward of his house, saying: “Lead the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast, because they will be eating with me at midday.”
Виде же их Иосиф, и Вениамина брата своего единоматерня, и рече строителю дому своего: введи мужы (сия) в дом, и заколи от скота, и уготовай: со мною бо ясти имут мужие (сии) хлеб в полудне.
17 He did what he had been ordered to do, and he brought the men into the house.
Сотвори же человек, якоже рече Иосиф, и введе мужы в дом Иосифов.
18 And there, being terrified, they said one to another: “Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we have been brought in, so that he may unleash a false accusation against us, and by violence subjugate both us and our donkeys into servitude.”
Видевше же мужие, яко введоша их в дом Иосифов, реша: сребра ради возвращеннаго во вретищах наших первее, вводят ны, еже бы оклеветати нас и нанести на ны, да поймут нас в рабы, и ослы нашя.
19 For this reason, approaching the steward of the house at his door,
Приступивше же к человеку сущему над домом Иосифовым, рекоша ему при вратех дому,
20 they said: “We beg you, lord, to hear us. We came down once before to buy food.
глаголюще: молим тя, господине: приидохом первее купити пищи:
21 And having bought it, when we arrived at the inn, we opened our sacks and found the money in the mouths of the sacks, which we now have carried back in the same amount.
бысть же егда приидохом на стан и отрешихом вретища своя, и се, сребро коегождо во вретищи его: тое сребро наше весом возвратихом ныне руками нашими:
22 But we have also brought other silver, so that we may buy those things that are necessary for us. It is not on our conscience who had placed it in our bags.”
и сребро другое принесохом с собою купити пищи: не вемы, кто вложи сребро во вретища наша.
23 But he responded: “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you the treasure in your sacks. As for the money that you gave to me, I held it as a test.” And he led Simeon out to them.
Рече же им: мир вам, не бойтеся: Бог ваш и Бог отец ваших даде вам сокровища во вретищах ваших: а сребро ваше за приятое имею. И изведе к ним Симеона:
24 And having led them into the house, he brought water, and they washed their feet, and he gave fodder to their donkeys.
и принесе воду омыти нозе им, и даде пажити ослом их.
25 But they also prepared the gifts, until Joseph entered at midday. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.
Уготоваша же дары, дондеже приидет Иосиф в полудне: слышаша бо, яко тамо имать обедати.
26 And so Joseph entered his house, and they offered him the gifts, holding them in their hands. And they reverenced prone on the ground.
Прииде же Иосиф в дом: и принесоша ему дары, яже имяху в руках своих, в дом: и поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
27 But he, gently greeting them again, questioned them, saying: “Is your father, the old man about whom you spoke to me, in good health? Is he still alive?”
И вопроси их: здрави ли есте? И рече им: здрав ли есть отец ваш, старец, егоже рекосте, еще ли жив есть?
28 And they answered: “Your servant, our father, is safe; he is still alive.” And bowing, they reverenced him.
Они же рекоша: здрав есть раб твой, отец наш, еще жив есть. И рече: благословен человек оный Богу. И приникше поклонишася ему.
29 Then Joseph, lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother of the same womb, and he said, “Is this your little brother, about whom you spoke to me?” And again, he said, “May God be compassionate to you, my son.”
Воззрев же очима своима Иосиф, виде Вениамина брата своего единоматерня и рече: сей ли есть брат ваш юнейший, егоже рекосте ко мне привести? И рече: Бог да помилует тя, чадо.
30 And he hurried out, because his heart had been moved over his brother, and tears gushed out. And going into his chamber, he wept.
Возмутися же Иосиф: подвижеся бо утроба его о брате своем, и искаше плакати: вшед же в ложницу, плакася тамо.
31 And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he composed himself, and he said, “Set out bread.”
И умыв лице, изшед удержася и рече: предложите хлебы.
32 And when it was set out, separately for Joseph, and separately for his brothers, likewise separately for the Egyptians, who ate at the same time, (for it is unlawful for Egyptians to eat with Hebrews, and they consider feasting in this way to be profane)
И предложиша ему единому, и оным особно, и Египтяном, иже с ним ядяху, особно: не можаху бо Египтяне ясти хлеба со Евреи: мерзость бо есть Египтяном (всяк пастух овчий).
33 they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his state of life. And they wondered exceedingly,
Седоша же прямо ему первенец по старейшинству своему и менший по меншеству своему, и дивляхуся мужие кийждо ко брату своему:
34 taking the portions that they received from him. And the greater portion went to Benjamin, so much so that it exceeded five parts. And they drank and became inebriated along with him.
и взяша части от него к себе: вящшая же бысть часть Вениаминова паче всех частей пятерицею, неже оных: пиша же и упишася с ним.
