Genesis 43
1 In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land.
Глад же одоле на земли.
2 And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again 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 Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall 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 thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee.
аще убо послеши брата нашего с нами, пойдем и купим тебе пищи:
5 But if thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall 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 told him you had also another brother.
Рече же Израиль: почто зло сотвористе ми, поведавше мужу, яко есть вам брат?
7 But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither 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 And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.
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 take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
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 delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.
аще бо быхом не умедлили, уже возвратилися бы дважды.
11 Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, 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 And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.
и сребро сугубо возмите в руце свои, и сребро обретенное во вретищах ваших возвратите с собою, да не како неведение есть:
13 And take also your brother, and go to the man.
и брата своего поимите, и воставше идите к мужу:
14 And may my almighty God make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.
Бог же мой да даст вам благодать пред мужем и отпустит брата вашего единаго, и Вениамина: аз бо якоже обезчадех, обезчадех.
15 So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before 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 with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon.
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 as he was commanded, and brought the men into the house.
Сотвори же человек, якоже рече Иосиф, и введе мужы в дом Иосифов.
18 And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.
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 Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,
Приступивше же к человеку сущему над домом Иосифовым, рекоша ему при вратех дому,
20 They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before to buy food:
глаголюще: молим тя, господине: приидохом первее купити пищи:
21 And when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
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 And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.
и сребро другое принесохом с собою купити пищи: не вемы, кто вложи сребро во вретища наша.
23 But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought 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 brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
и принесе воду омыти нозе им, и даде пажити ослом их.
25 But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
Уготоваша же дары, дондеже приидет Иосиф в полудне: слышаша бо, яко тамо имать обедати.
26 Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to 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, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living?
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: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to him.
Они же рекоша: здрав есть раб твой, отец наш, еще жив есть. И рече: благословен человек оный Богу. И приникше поклонишася ему.
29 And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, 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 made haste because his heart was moved upon 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 refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.
И умыв лице, изшед удержася и рече: предложите хлебы.
32 And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast 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 age. And they wondered very much:
Седоша же прямо ему первенец по старейшинству своему и менший по меншеству своему, и дивляхуся мужие кийждо ко брату своему:
34 Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry 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.
