Genesis 48
1 And it comes to pass, after these things, that [one] says to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick”; and he takes his two sons with him, Manasseh 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 [one] declares [it] to Jacob and says, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthens himself, and sits on the bed.
Поведаша же Иакову, глаголюще: се, сын твой Иосиф грядет к тебе. И укрепився Израиль седе на одре,
3 And Jacob says to Joseph, “God Almighty has appeared to me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesses me,
и рече Иаков ко Иосифу: Бог мой явися мне в Лузе, в земли Ханаани, и благослови мя
4 and says to me, Behold, I am making you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and given you for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to your seed after you, a continuous 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 And now, your two sons, who are born to you in the land of Egypt, before my coming to you to Egypt, they [are] mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon, they are mine;
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 and your family which you have begotten after them are yours; by the name of their brothers they are called in their inheritance.
сыны же, яже аще родиши по сих, будут тебе: во имя братии своея призовутся ко жребиям оных:
7 And I—in my coming in from Padan-[Aram] Rachel has died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a distance of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which [is] Beth-Lehem.”
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 And Israel sees the sons of Joseph and says, “Who [are] these?”
Видев же Израиль сыны Иосифовы, рече: что тебе сии?
9 And Joseph says to his father, “They [are] my sons, whom God has given to me in this [place]”; and he says, “Please bring them to me, and I 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 And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age—he is unable to see; and he brings them near to him, and he kisses them and cleaves to 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 Israel says to Joseph, “I had not thought [possible] to see your face, and behold, God has also showed me your seed.”
И рече Израиль ко Иосифу: се, лица твоего не лишихся, и се, показа ми Бог и семя твое.
12 And Joseph brings them out from between his knees, and bows himself on his face to the earth;
И отведе их Иосиф от колен его, и поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
13 and Joseph takes them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel’s right, and brings [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 And Israel puts out his right hand and places [it] on the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh; he has guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the firstborn.
Простер же Израиль руку десную, возложи на главу Ефремлю, сей же бяше менший, а левую на главу Манассиину, пременив руце,
15 And he blesses Joseph and says, “God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac habitually walked: God who is feeding me from my being to 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 Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil blesses the youths, and my name is called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.”
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 sees that his father sets his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supports the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;
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 Joseph says to his father, “Not so, my father, for this [is] the firstborn; set your right hand on his head.”
и рече Иосиф отцу своему: не тако, отче: сей бо (есть) первенец, возложи руку десную твою на главу его.
19 And his father refuses and says, “I have known, my son, I have known; he also becomes a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fullness of the 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 blesses them in that day, saying, “By you does Israel bless, saying, God set you as Ephraim and as Manasseh”; and he sets Ephraim before Manasseh.
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 Israel says to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, and God has been with you, and has brought you back to 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 and I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.”
аз же даю ти Сикиму избранную свыше братии твоея, юже взях из руки Аморрейски мечем моим и луком.
