Бытие 37
1 Вселися же Иаков в земли, идеже обита Исаак, отец его, в земли Ханаани.
And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan.
2 Сии же роди Иаковли. Иосиф же бяше седминадесяти лет, пасый овцы отца своего с братиею своею, юн сый, с сынми Валлы и с сынми Зелфы, жен отца своего: нанесоша же на Иосифа злу клевету ко Израилю отцу своему.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and he was as a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought evil reports of them unto his father.
3 Иаков же любляше Иосифа паче всех сынов своих, яко сын в старости ему бысть: и сотвори ему ризу пестру.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colors.
4 Видевше же братия его, яко любит его отец паче всех сынов своих, возненавидеша его и не можаху глаголати к нему ничтоже мирно.
And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 Видев же Иосиф сон, поведа и братии своей
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
6 и рече им: послушайте сна сего, егоже видех:
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed.
7 мнех вас вяжущих снопы среде поля: и воста мой сноп и ста прямо, ваши же снопы обратившеся поклонишася моему снопу.
And, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also remained standing upright; and, behold, your sheaves placed themselves round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 Реша же ему братия его: еда царствуя царствовати будеши над нами, или господствуя господствовати будеши над нами? И приложиша еще ненавидети его снов ради его и ради словес его.
And his brothers said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 Виде же сон другий и поведа его отцу своему и братии своей, и рече: се, видех другий сон: аки бы солнце и луна и единонадесять звезд покланяхуся мне.
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers; and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 И запрети ему отец его и рече ему: что сон сей, егоже еси видел? Еда пришедше приидем аз и мати твоя и братия твоя поклонитися тебе до земли?
And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother, and thy brothers, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth.
11 Позавидеша же ему братия его: отец же его соблюде слово сие.
And his brothers envied him; but his father noted the matter [in his mind].
12 Отидоша же братия его пасти овцы отца своего в Сихем.
And his brothers went to feed their father's flocks in Shechem.
13 И рече Израиль ко Иосифу: еда братия твоя не пасут в Сихеме? Гряди да послю тя к ним. Рече же ему: се, аз.
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brothers feed [the flocks] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
14 Рече же ему Израиль: шед, виждь, аще здравствуют братия твоя и овцы, и повеждь ми. И посла его от юдоли Хеврони. И прииде в Сихем:
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 и обрете его человек заблуждающа на поли: вопроси же его человек глаголя: чесого ищеши?
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering astray in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 Он же рече: братии моея ищу: повеждь ми, где пасут.
And he said, I seek my brothers; tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding their flocks?
17 Рече же ему человек: отидоша отсюду: слышах бо их глаголющих: пойдем в Дофаим. И иде Иосиф вслед братии своея и обрете я в Дофаиме.
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Предузреша же его издалече, прежде приближения его к ним, и зле умыслиша убити его:
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 рече же кийждо к брату своему: се, сновидец оный идет:
And they said one to another, Behold, here comes this man of dreams.
20 ныне убо приидите, убием его и ввержим его во един от рвов, и речем: зверь лют снеде его: и узрим, что будут сония его.
And now, come and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21 Слышав же Рувим, отя его из рук их и рече: не убием его на души.
And when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hand; and he said, Let us not put him to death.
22 Рече же им Рувим: не пролийте крове, вверзите его во един от рвов сих, иже в пустыни, руки же не возложите на него: (тщашеся бо) яко да изымет его от рук их и отдаст его отцу своему.
And Reuben said unto them, Do not shed blood; but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hand upon him; —in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back again to his father.
23 Бысть же егда прииде Иосиф к братии своей, совлекоша со Иосифа ризу пеструю, яже на нем,
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brothers, that they stript Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
24 и поемше его ввергоша в ров: ров же тощь, воды не имяше.
And they took him, and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 И седоша ясти хлеб, и воззревше очима видеша, и се, путницы Исмаилтяне идяху от Галаада, и велблюды их полны фимиама и ритины и стакти: идяху же везуще во Египет.
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead; and their camels were bearing spicery, and balm, and lotus, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Рече же Иуда ко братии своей: кая польза, аще убием брата нашего и скрыем кровь его?
And Judah said unto his brothers, What profit will it be if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Грядите продадим его Исмаилтяном сим: руце же наши да не будут на нем, яко брат наш и плоть наша есть. Послушаша же братия его.
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let our hand not be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers hearkened to him.
28 И мимоидоша человецы Мадиамстии купцы: и извлекоша и возведоша Иосифа из рова, и продаша Иосифа Исмаилтяном на двадесять златниц. И поведоша Иосифа во Египет.
And when the Midianitish men, merchants, passed by, they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Возвратися же Рувим к рову и не узре Иосифа в рове: и растерза ризы своя,
And when Reuben returned unto the pit, and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes.
30 и прииде ко братии своей и рече: отрочища несть, аз же камо иду ктому?
And he returned unto his brothers, and said, The child is not there; and I, whither shall I go?
31 Вземше же ризу Иосифову, заклаша козлище от коз и помазаша ризу кровию:
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32 и послаша ризу пеструю, и принесоша ко отцу своему и рекоша: сию обретохом: познавай, аще риза сына твоего есть, или ни?
And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: acknowledge, we pray thee, whether it be thy son's coat or not.
33 И позна ю и рече: риза сына моего есть: зверь лют снеде его: зверь восхити Иосифа.
And he recognized it, and said, it is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is surely torn in pieces.
34 И растерза Иаков ризы своя, и возложи вретище на чресла своя, и плакашеся сына своего дни многи.
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Собрашася же вси сынове его и дщери и приидоша утешити его: и не хотяше утешитися, глаголя: яко сниду к сыну моему сетуя во ад. И плакася о нем отец его. (Sheol h7585)
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I must go down unto my son, mourning, into the grave; thus his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Мадиане же продаша Иосифа во Египет Пентефрию евнуху фараонову, архимагиру.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guards.
