Genesis 43
1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
Глад же одоле на земли.
2 and it comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for 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 And Judah speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] 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 you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
аще убо послеши брата нашего с нами, пойдем и купим тебе пищи:
5 and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] with you.”
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 And Israel says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you had yet a brother?”
Рече же Израиль: почто зло сотвористе ми, поведавше мужу, яко есть вам брат?
7 And they say, “The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our family, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have you a brother? And we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?”
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 Judah says to his father Israel, “Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and you, and our infants.
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 am guarantor [for] him, from my hand you require him; if I have not brought him to you, and set him before you—then I have sinned against you all the days;
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 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned these two times.”
аще бо быхом не умедлили, уже возвратилися бы дважды.
11 And their father Israel says to them, “If so, now, do this: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts 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 double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, you take back in your hand, it may be it [is] an oversight.
и сребро сугубо возмите в руце свои, и сребро обретенное во вретищах ваших возвратите с собою, да не како неведение есть:
13 And take your brother, and rise, return to the man;
и брата своего поимите, и воставше идите к мужу:
14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he has sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—I am bereaved.”
Бог же мой да даст вам благодать пред мужем и отпустит брата вашего единаго, и Вениамина: аз бо якоже обезчадех, обезчадех.
15 And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand 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 Joseph sees Benjamin with them and says to him who [is] over his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for the men 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 And the man does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
Сотвори же человек, якоже рече Иосиф, и введе мужы в дом Иосифов.
18 and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, “For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in—to roll himself on us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants—our donkeys also.”
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 And they come near to the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak to him at the opening of the house,
Приступивше же к человеку сущему над домом Иосифовым, рекоша ему при вратех дому,
20 and say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
глаголюще: молим тя, господине: приидохом первее купити пищи:
21 and it comes to pass, when we have come to the lodging-place, and open our bags, that behold, each one’s money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand;
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 other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we have not known who put our money in our bags.”
и сребро другое принесохом с собою купити пищи: не вемы, кто вложи сребро во вретища наша.
23 And he says, “Peace to you, do not fear: your God and the God of your father has given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came to me”; and he brings out Simeon 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 the man brings in the men into Joseph’s house, and gives water, and they wash their feet; and he gives provender for their donkeys,
и принесе воду омыти нозе им, и даде пажити ослом их.
25 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
Уготоваша же дары, дондеже приидет Иосиф в полудне: слышаша бо, яко тамо имать обедати.
26 And Joseph comes into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves to him, to the earth;
Прииде же Иосиф в дом: и принесоша ему дары, яже имяху в руках своих, в дом: и поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
27 and he asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, is he yet 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 say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
Они же рекоша: здрав есть раб твой, отец наш, еще жив есть. И рече: благословен человек оный Богу. И приникше поклонишася ему.
29 And he lifts up his eyes and sees his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and says, “Is this your young brother, of whom you have spoken to me?” And he says, “God favor 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 Joseph hurries, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeks to weep, and enters the inner chamber, and weeps there;
Возмутися же Иосиф: подвижеся бо утроба его о брате своем, и искаше плакати: вшед же в ложницу, плакася тамо.
31 and he washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place bread.”
И умыв лице, изшед удержася и рече: предложите хлебы.
32 And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
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 And they sit before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;
Седоша же прямо ему первенец по старейшинству своему и менший по меншеству своему, и дивляхуся мужие кийждо ко брату своему:
34 and he lifts up gifts from before him to them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, indeed, they drink abundantly 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.
