Genesis 43
1 Now the famine was severe in the land.
Глад же одоле на земли.
2 So it came about when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go again, buy us a little more food."
Бысть же егда скончаша пшеницу ядуще, юже принесоша из Египта: и рече им отец их: паки шедше купите нам мало пищи.
3 But Judah spoke to him, saying, "The man strictly warned us, saying, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is 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'll send our brother with us, we'll go down and buy you food,
аще убо послеши брата нашего с нами, пойдем и купим тебе пищи:
5 but if you will not send him, we will not go down, for the man said to us, 'You may not see my face unless your brother is 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 Then Israel said, "Why did you bring this trouble on me by telling the man that you had another brother?"
Рече же Израиль: почто зло сотвористе ми, поведавше мужу, яко есть вам брат?
7 They said, "The man kept asking about ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Do you have another brother?' So we just answered his questions. How were we to know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down?'"
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 Then Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the boy with me and we'll get up and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, and also our little ones.
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 will be collateral for him. You can hold me responsible for him. If I fail to bring him to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,
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 hadn't delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now."
аще бо быхом не умедлили, уже возвратилися бы дважды.
11 Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your bags and bring a gift for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio 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 Take twice as much silver in your hand, and take back the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
и сребро сугубо возмите в руце свои, и сребро обретенное во вретищах ваших возвратите с собою, да не како неведение есть:
13 Take your brother also, and get up, go back to the man.
и брата своего поимите, и воставше идите к мужу:
14 And may El Shaddai grant you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am deprived of my children, then I am deprived."
Бог же мой да даст вам благодать пред мужем и отпустит брата вашего единаго, и Вениамина: аз бо якоже обезчадех, обезчадех.
15 The men took this gift, and they took twice as much silver with them, and Benjamin. Then they got up and went down to Egypt, and presented themselves 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 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the servant of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and prepare it; for the men will 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 The man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house.
Сотвори же человек, якоже рече Иосиф, и введе мужы в дом Иосифов.
18 But the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, "It is because of the silver that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are brought here; so that he may capture us, and make us slaves, and take our donkeys."
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 So they came near to the man of Joseph's house and they spoke to him at the entrance of the house,
Приступивше же к человеку сущему над домом Иосифовым, рекоша ему при вратех дому,
20 and said, "My lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
глаголюще: молим тя, господине: приидохом первее купити пищи:
21 But when we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and look, every man's silver was in the mouth of his sack, our silver in full weight. So we have brought 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 We have brought down additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks."
и сребро другое принесохом с собою купити пищи: не вемы, кто вложи сребро во вретища наша.
23 He said, "Peace to you. Do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your silver." Then 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 The man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. Then he gave their donkeys food.
и принесе воду омыти нозе им, и даде пажити ослом их.
25 They prepared the gift for Joseph's arrival at noon, for they heard that they would eat a meal there.
Уготоваша же дары, дондеже приидет Иосиф в полудне: слышаша бо, яко тамо имать обедати.
26 When Joseph came home, they prepared the gift they had brought with them into the house, and bowed themselves down to him 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 Then he asked them of their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still 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 answered, "Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive." Then he said, "Blessed be that man by God." And they bowed and prostrated themselves.
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 looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you told me about?" Then he said, "God be gracious to 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 Then Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome with emotion because of his brother, and he was at the point of tears. So he entered into his chamber and wept there.
Возмутися же Иосиф: подвижеся бо утроба его о брате своем, и искаше плакати: вшед же в ложницу, плакася тамо.
31 Then he washed his face and came out. And he controlled himself and said, "Serve the food."
И умыв лице, изшед удержася и рече: предложите хлебы.
32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is disgraceful 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 sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other with amazement.
Седоша же прямо ему первенец по старейшинству своему и менший по меншеству своему, и дивляхуся мужие кийждо ко брату своему:
34 Then he gave portions to them in front of him, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank until they all became drunk.
и взяша части от него к себе: вящшая же бысть часть Вениаминова паче всех частей пятерицею, неже оных: пиша же и упишася с ним.
