Бытие 37
1 Вселися же Иаков в земли, идеже обита Исаак, отец его, в земли Ханаани.
And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, 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 brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought to his father their bad report.
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 colours.
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 brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
5 Видев же Иосиф сон, поведа и братии своей
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 и рече им: послушайте сна сего, егоже видех:
And he said to 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.
For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood around, 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 brethren 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 brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the 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 brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 Позавидеша же ему братия его: отец же его соблюде слово сие.
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12 Отидоша же братия его пасти овцы отца своего в Сихем.
And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock 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 to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee to 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 is well with thy brethren, 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 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 brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed 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 have departed from here; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, 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 to 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, this dreamer is coming.
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.
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, 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 Reuben heard it, and he delivered him from their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
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 to them, Shed no blood, cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might deliver him from their hands, to bring him back 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 had come to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, his coat of many colours 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 a 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 came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry them down to Egypt.
26 Рече же Иуда ко братии своей: кая польза, аще убием брата нашего и скрыем кровь его?
And Judah said to his brethren, What profit is it 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, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother our flesh. And his brethren were content.
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.
Then there passed by Midianites merchants; and they drew and lifted 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 Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 и прииде ко братии своей и рече: отрочища несть, аз же камо иду ктому?
And he returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where 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 kid of the goats, 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 colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it is 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 knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
34 И растерза Иаков ризы своя, и возложи вретище на чресла своя, и плакашеся сына своего дни многи.
And Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on 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 will go down into the grave to my son mourning. 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 to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
