Genesis 44
1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
И заповеда Иосиф домостроителю своему, глаголя: наполните вретища мужем пищи, елико могут понести: и вложите комуждо сребро верху устия вретища:
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
и чашу мою сребряную вложите во вретище меншаго, и цену пшеницы его. Бысть же по словеси Иосифову, якоже рече.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Утро возсия, и мужие отпустишася сами, и ослята их.
4 And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Arise, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say to them, Why have ye rewarded evil for good?
Изшедше же они из града, не отидоша далече: и рече Иосиф домостроителю своему: востав гони вслед мужей и постигни их, и рцы им: что яко воздасте (ми) злая за благая?
5 Is not this the cup in which my lord drinketh, and by which indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
Вскую украдосте чашу мою сребряну? Не сия ли есть, из неяже пиет господин мой? Он же и волхвованием волхвует в ней: злая совершисте, яже сотвористе.
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
Обрет же их, рече им по словесем сим.
7 And they said to him, Why saith my lord these words? Far be it from us that thy servants should do according to this thing:
Они же реша ему: вскую глаголет господин словеса сия? Не буди рабом твоим сотворити по словеси сему:
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to thee from the land of Canaan: how then should we steal from thy lord’s house silver or gold?
аще сребро, еже обретохом во вретищах наших, возвратихом к тебе от земли Ханаани, како быхом украли из дому господина твоего сребро или злато?
9 With whomever of thy servants it shall be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.
У негоже аще обрящеши чашу от раб твоих, да умрет: и мы будем раби господину нашему.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it shall be found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
Он же рече: и ныне, якоже глаголете, тако будет: у негоже аще обрящется чаша, будет мой раб, вы же будете чисти.
11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
И потщашася, и сверже кийждо вретище свое на землю, и отверзоша кийждо вретище свое.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and stopped at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Изыска же от старейшаго зачен, дондеже прииде до меншаго, и обрете чашу во вретищи Вениамини.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and loaded every man his donkey, and returned to the city.
И растерзаша ризы своя, и возложиша кийждо вретище свое на осля свое, и возвратишася во град.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
Вниде же Иуда и братия его ко Иосифу, еще ему сущу ту, и падоша пред ним на землю.
15 And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that ye have done? knew ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
Рече же им Иосиф: что дело сие сотвористе? Не ведасте ли, яко несть волхвователь человек, якоже аз?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
Рече же Иуда: что отвещаем господину, или что возглаголем, или чим оправдимся? Бог же обрете неправду рабов твоих: се, мы есмы раби господину нашему, и мы, и у негоже обретеся чаша.
17 And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, go in peace to your father.
Рече же Иосиф: не буди ми сотворити глагол сей: муж, у негоже обретеся чаша, той будет ми раб: вы же поидите в целости ко отцу своему.
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, O my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thy anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
Приступив же к нему Иуда, рече: молю тя, господине, да речет раб твой слово пред тобою, и не прогневайся на раба твоего, яко ты еси по фараоне:
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
господине, ты вопрошал еси рабов твоих, глаголя: аще имате отца, или брата?
20 And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
И рехом господину: есть нам отец стар, и отрочищь на старость менший ему, а брат его умре, он же един остася у матере своея, отец же возлюби его.
21 And thou saidst to thy servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.
Ты же рекл еси рабом твоим: приведите его ко мне, да вижду его.
22 And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
И рехом господину: не возможет отрочищь оставити отца своего: аще же оставит отца, умрет.
23 And thou saidst to thy servants, Except your youngest brother shall come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Ты же рекл еси рабом твоим: аще не приидет брат ваш менший с вами, не приложите ктому видети лица моего.
24 And it came to pass when we came to thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Бысть же егда приидохом к рабу твоему отцу нашему, поведахом ему словеса господина нашего,
25 And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
рече же нам отец наш: идите паки и купите нам мало пищи.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother shall be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother shall be with us.
Мы же рекохом: не возможем ити: но аще брат наш менший идет с нами, пойдем: ибо не возможем видети лице мужа, брату нашему меншему не сущу с нами.
27 And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons:
Рече же раб твой, отец наш к нам: вы весте, яко двоих роди мне жена:
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
и отиде един от мене, и рекосте, яко зверем снеден бысть, и не видех его даже до ныне:
29 And if ye take this also from me, and harm shall befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
аще убо поймете и сего от лица моего, и случится ему зло на пути, и сведете старость мою с печалию во ад. (Sheol h7585)
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
Ныне убо аще пойду к рабу твоему, отцу же нашему, и отрочища не будет с нами: (душа же его связана есть с душею сего, )
31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
и будет егда увидит он не суща отрочища с нами, умрет: и сведут раби твои старость раба твоего, отца же нашего, с печалию во ад: (Sheol h7585)
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I bring him not to thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
раб бо твой от отца взя отрочища, глаголя: аще не приведу его к тебе и поставлю его пред тобою, грешен буду ко отцу вся дни.
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a slave to my lord; and let the lad return with his brethren.
Ныне убо пребуду тебе раб вместо отрочища, раб господину: отрочищь же да идет с братиею своею:
34 For how shall I return to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest perhaps I see the evil that shall come on my father.
како бо пойду ко отцу, отрочищу не сущу с нами? Да не вижду злых, яже обрящут отца моего.
