< Genesis 42 >
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was food in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Видев же Иаков, яко купля есть (пшеницы) во Египте, рече сыном своим: почто не радите?
2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is food in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
Се, слышах, яко есть пшеница во Египте: идите тамо и купите нам мало пищи, да живи будем и не умрем.
3 And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy grain in Egypt.
Идоша же братия Иосифовы десять купити пшеницы во Египет.
4 But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
Вениамина же, брата Иосифова, не отпусти с братиею его, рече бо: да не когда случится (на пути) ему зло.
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Приидоша же сынове Израилевы купити с приходящими: бяше бо глад в земли Ханаанстей.
6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
Иосиф же бяше князь земли: сей продаяше всем людем земли (тоя). Пришедше же братия Иосифовы, поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Видев же Иосиф братию свою, позна: и отчуждашеся их, и глаголаше им жестоко, и рече им: откуду приидосте? Они же реша: от земли Ханаанския купити пищи.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Позна же Иосиф братию свою: они же не познаша его.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
И помяну Иосиф сны своя, яже виде он: и рече им: соглядатаи есте, соглядати путий страны (сея) приидосте.
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
Они же реша: ни, господине, раби твои приидохом купити пищи:
11 We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
вси есмы сынове единаго человека: мирницы есмы, не суть раби твои соглядатаи.
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Рече же им: ни, но пути земли (сея) приидосте соглядати.
13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Они же реша: дванадесять есмы братия раби твои в земли Ханаани: и се, менший (от нас) со отцем нашим днесь, а другаго несть.
14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
Рече же им Иосиф: сие есть, еже рекох вам, глаголя, яко соглядатаи есте:
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
в сем явитеся: тако ми здравия фараоня, не изыдете отсюду, аще брат ваш менший не приидет семо:
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
послите от себе единаго, и возмите брата вашего: вы же держими будите, дондеже яве будут словеса ваша, аще истинствуете, или ни: аще же ни, тако ми здравия фараоня, воистинну соглядатаи есте.
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
И даде я под стражу на три дни.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
Рече же им в день третий: сие сотворите, и живи будете: Бога бо аз боюся:
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry food for the famine of your houses:
аще мирницы есте, брат ваш да удержится един под стражею: сами же идите и отвезите купленую пшеницу вашу,
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
и брата вашего меншаго приведите ко мне, и верна будут словеса ваша: аще же ни, умрете. И сотвориша тако.
21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
И рече кийждо к брату своему: ей, во гресех бо есмы брата ради нашего, яко презрехом скорбение души его, егда моляшеся нам, и не послушахом его: и сего ради прииде на ны скорбение сие.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
Отвещав же Рувим, рече им: не рех ли вам, глаголя: не преобидите детища? И не послушасте мене: и се, кровь его взыскуется.
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
Тии же не ведеша, яко разумеет Иосиф: толмачь бо между ими бяше.
24 And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
Отвратився же от них, проплакася Иосиф: и паки прииде к ним и рече им. И поя Симеона от них, и связа его пред ними.
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with food, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
Повеле же Иосиф наполнити сосуды их пшеницы и возвратити сребро их комуждо во вретище свое и дати им брашно на путь. И бысть им тако.
26 And they laded their donkeys with the food, and departed thence.
И возложивше пшеницу на ослы своя, отидоша оттуду.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack’s mouth.
Отрешив же един вретище свое дати пищу ослом своим, идеже сташа, и виде узол сребра своего, и бе верху устия вретищнаго.
28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
И рече братии своей: возвращено ми есть сребро, и се, сие во вретищи моем. И ужасеся сердце их: и возмятошася, друг ко другу глаголюще: что сие сотвори Бог нам?
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
Приидоша же ко Иакову, отцу своему, в землю Ханааню и поведаша ему вся случившаяся им, глаголюще:
30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
глагола муж господин земли (оныя) к нам жестоко и вверже нас в темницу, аки соглядаюших землю:
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
рехом же ему: мирницы есмы, несмы соглядатаи:
32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
дванадесять братия есмы, сынове отца нашего: единаго несть, а менший со отцем нашим днесь в земли Ханаани:
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
рече же нам муж господин земли (тоя): по сему увем, яко мирницы есте: брата единаго оставите зде у мене, а купленую пшеницу дому вашему вземше отидите
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
и приведите ко мне брата вашего меншаго: и увем, яко не соглядатаи есте, но яко мирницы есте: и брата вашего отдам вам, и куплю творите в земли.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Бысть же егда испраздняху вретища своя, и бяше узол сребра во вретищи коегождо их: и видеша узлы сребра своего сами и отец их, и убояшася.
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
Рече же им Иаков отец их: мене безчадна сотвористе: Иосифа несть, Симеона несть, и Вениамина ли поймете? На мя быша сия вся.
37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Рече же Рувим отцу своему, глаголя: двоих сынов моих убий, аще не приведу его к тебе: даждь его в руце мои, и аз приведу его к тебе.
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol )
Он же рече: не пойдет сын мой с вами, яко брат его умре, и той един оста: и случится ему зло на пути, в оньже аще пойдете, и сведете старость мою с печалию во ад. (Sheol )
