Genesis 48
1 After these things, it was told Joseph that his father was sick: and he set out to go to him, taking his two sons Manasses 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 And it was told the old man: Behold thy son Joseph cometh to thee. And being strengthened he sat on his bed.
Поведаша же Иакову, глаголюще: се, сын твой Иосиф грядет к тебе. И укрепився Израиль седе на одре,
3 And when Joseph was come in to him, he said: God Almighty appeared to me at Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan: and he blessed me,
и рече Иаков ко Иосифу: Бог мой явися мне в Лузе, в земли Ханаани, и благослови мя
4 And he said: I will cause thee to increase and multiply, and I will make of thee a multitude of people: and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee 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 So thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came hither to thee, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasses shall be reputed to me as Ruben and Simeon.
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 But the rest whom thou shalt have after them, shall be thine, and shall be called by the name of their brethren in their possessions.
сыны же, яже аще родиши по сих, будут тебе: во имя братии своея призовутся ко жребиям оных:
7 For, when I came out of Mesopotamia, Rachel died from me in the land of Chanaan in the very journey, and it was springtime: and I was going to Ephrata, and I buried her near the way of Ephrata, which by another name is 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 Then seeing his sons, he said to him: Who are these?
Видев же Израиль сыны Иосифовы, рече: что тебе сии?
9 He answered: They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said: 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 For Israel’s eyes were dim by reason of his great age, and he could not see clearly. And when they were brought to him, he kissed 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 And said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee: moreover God hath showed me thy seed.
И рече Израиль ко Иосифу: се, лица твоего не лишихся, и се, показа ми Бог и семя твое.
12 And when Joseph had taken them from his father’s lap, he bowed down with his face to the ground.
И отведе их Иосиф от колен его, и поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
13 And he set Ephraim on his right hand, that is, towards the left hand of Israel; but Manasses on his left hand, to wit, towards his father’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 But he stretching forth his right hand, put it upon the head of Ephraim the younger brother; and the left upon the head of Manasses who was the elder, changing his hands.
Простер же Израиль руку десную, возложи на главу Ефремлю, сей же бяше менший, а левую на главу Манассиину, пременив руце,
15 And Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph, and said: God, in whose sight my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, God that feedeth me from my youth until 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 that delivereth me from all evils, bless these boys: and let my name be called upon them, 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 And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father’s hand he tried to lift it from Ephraim’s head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses.
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 And he said to his father: It should not be so, my father: for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head.
и рече Иосиф отцу своему: не тако, отче: сей бо (есть) первенец, возложи руку десную твою на главу его.
19 But he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become peoples, and shall be multiplied: but this younger brother shall be greater than he: and his seed shall grow into 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 And he blessed them at that time, saying: In thee shall Israel be blessed, and it shall be said: God do to thee as to Ephraim, and as to Manasses. And he set Ephraim before Manasses.
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 And he said to Joseph his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into 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 I give thee a portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorrhite with my sword and bow.
аз же даю ти Сикиму избранную свыше братии твоея, юже взях из руки Аморрейски мечем моим и луком.
