Бытие 41
1 Бысть же по двою лету дний, фараон виде сон: мняшеся стояти при реце:
Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and look, he was standing by the Nile.
2 и се, аки из реки исхождаху седмь крав добры видом и избранны телесы, и пасяхуся по брегу:
And look, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds.
3 другия же седмь крав изыдоша по сих из реки, злы видом и телесы худы, и пасяхуся с кравами по брегу речному:
And look, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, miserable-looking and thin, and stood by the other cows at the edge of the Nile.
4 и поядоша седмь кравы злыя и худыя телесы седмь крав добрых видом и избранных телесы: (и сия невидимы быша, яко внидоша в чресла их). Воста же фараон.
The miserable-looking and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up.
5 И виде сон вторый: и се, седмь класи исхождаху из стеблия единаго избранны и добры:
And he slept and dreamed a second time. And look, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 друзии же седмь класи тонцыи, истончени ветром, израстаху по них:
Then look, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
7 и пожроша седмь класи тонцыи и истончени ветром седмь класов избранных и полных. Воста же фараон, и бяше сон.
The thin heads swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up, and look, it was a dream.
8 Бысть же заутра, и возмутися душа его: и послав, созва вся сказатели Египетския и вся мудрыя его: и поведа им фараон сон свой: и не бяше сказуяй того фараону.
It happened in the morning that his mind was troubled, so he summoned all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
9 И рече старейшина винарск к фараону, глаголя: грех мой воспоминаю днесь:
Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.
10 фараон разгневася на рабы своя и вверже нас в темницу в дому архимагира, мене и старейшину житарска:
Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me in prison in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.
11 и видехом сон оба единыя нощи аз и он, кийждо свой сон видехом:
We had a dream on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.
12 бяше же тамо с нами юноша, отрок Евреин архимагиров, и поведахом ему, и разсуди нам:
Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guards, and we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us, to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
13 бысть же, якоже сказа нам, тако и случися, мне паки быти во своем старейшинстве, а оному повешену.
And it happened just the way he interpreted them to us, so it was: I was restored to my office, and he was hanged."
14 Послав же фараон, призва Иосифа: и изведоша его из твердыни, и остригоша его, и измениша ризы ему, и прииде к фараону.
Then Pharaoh summoned Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the pit. And he shaved himself, changed his clothes, and came in to Pharaoh.
15 Рече же фараон Иосифу: сон видех, и сказуяй его несть: аз же слышах о тебе глаголющих, яко слышав сны разсуждаеши тыя.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, but there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said about you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."
16 Отвещав же Иосиф фараону, рече: без Бога не отвещается спасение фараону.
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "Apart from God, the welfare of Pharaoh will receive no answer. "
17 Рече же фараон Иосифу, глаголя: во сне моем мняхся стояти на брезе речнем:
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "In my dream, look, I stood on the edge of the Nile.
18 и аки из реки исхождаху седмь кравы добры видом и избранны телесы, и пасяхуся по брегу:
And look, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
19 и се, другия седмь крав исхождаху вслед их из реки, злы и недобры видом и худы телесы, яковых не виде таковых во всей земли Египетстей хуждших:
And look, seven other cows came up after them, scrawny and very miserable-looking and thin. I had never seen such bad-looking cows in all the land of Egypt.
20 и изядоша седмь кравы злыя и худыя седмь крав первых добрых и избранных:
The thin and miserable-looking cows ate up the first seven fat cows.
21 и внидоша во утробы их, и не явишася, яко внидоша во утробы их: и обличия их зла быша, яко и исперва. Востав же, (паки) уснух,
But when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as miserable-looking as at the beginning. Then I woke up.
22 и видех паки во сне моем, и аки седмь класи исхождаху из единаго стеблия полны и добры:
And I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream, and look, seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.
23 друзии же седмь класи тонцыи и ветром истончени изницаху вслед их:
And look, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprouted up after them.
24 и пожроша седмь класи тонцыи и ветром истончени седмь класов добрых и полных. Рех убо сказателем, и не бысть поведаяй мне того.
And the seven thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. And I told it to the magicians, but no one could tell me its meaning."
25 И рече Иосиф фараону: сон фараонов един есть: елика Бог творит, показа фараону:
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 седмь кравы добрыя седмь лет суть: и седмь класи добрии седмь лет суть: сон фараонов един есть:
The seven good cows represent seven years, and the seven good heads of grain represent seven years. The dreams are the same.
27 и седмь кравы худыя, яже изыдоша по сих, седмь лет суть, и седмь класи тонцыи и истончени ветром седмь лет суть: будут седмь лет глада:
And the seven thin and miserable-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind. They are seven years of famine.
28 слово же еже рех фараону, елика Бог творит, показа фараону:
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 се, седмь лет приходит, обилность многа во всей земли Египетстей:
Look, seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt.
30 приидут же седмь лет глада по сих, и забудут сытости будущия во всем Египте, и погубит глад землю,
But after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate the land,
31 и не познается обилие на земли от глада будущаго по сих: силен бо будет зело:
and the abundance will not be remembered in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
32 повторися же сон фараону дважды, яко истинно будет слово еже от Бога, и ускорит Бог сотворити оно:
Now the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will carry it out soon.
33 ныне убо усмотри человека мудра и смыслена и постави его над землею Египетскою:
Now therefore Pharaoh should look for a discerning and wise man, and give him authority over the land of Egypt.
34 и да сотворит фараон и поставит местоначалники по земли, и да собирают пятую часть от всех плодов земли Египетския седми лет обилных,
Pharaoh should do this, and should appoint overseers over the land, and they should take a fifth of all the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
35 и да соберут всякую пищу седми лет грядущих добрых сих: и да соберется пшеница под руку фараоню, пища во градех да хранится:
They should gather all the food during these good years that are coming and store the grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and they should preserve it.
36 и будет пища соблюдена земли на седмь лет гладных, яже имут быти в земли Египетстей, да не потребится земля в гладе.
That food will be a reserve for the land during the seven years of famine that will come on the land of Egypt, so that the land will survive the famine."
37 Угодно же бысть слово пред фараоном и пред всеми рабы его.
The proposal was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 И рече фараон всем рабом своим: еда обрящем человека сицеваго, иже имать Духа Божия в себе?
Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
39 Рече же фараон Иосифу: понеже показа Бог тебе вся сия, несть человека мудрейша и смысленнейша паче тебе:
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 ты будеши в дому моем, и уст твоих да послушают вси людие мои, разве престолом аз более тебе буду.
You will be in charge of my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you."
41 Рече же фараон Иосифу се, поставляю тя днесь над всею землею Египетскою.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Look, I have put you in charge over all the land of Egypt."
42 И снем фараон перстень с руки своея, возложи его на руку Иосифову, и облече его в ризу червлену, и возложи гривну злату на выю его,
Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 и всади его на колесницу свою вторую, и проповеда пред ним проповедник: и постави его над всею землею Египетскою.
And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had, and they called out before him, "Bow the knee. " So he put him in charge over the entire land of Egypt.
44 Рече же фараон Иосифу: аз фараон: без тебе не воздвигнет руки своея никтоже во всей земли Египетстей.
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, but without your permission no one will do anything or go anywhere in all the land of Egypt."
45 И нарече фараон имя Иосифу Псонфомфаних: и даде ему Асенефу, дщерь Петефриа жреца Илиопольскаго, ему в жену.
Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah. And he gave him Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. So Joseph went out through the land of Egypt.
46 Иосиф же бяше лет тридесяти, егда предста фараону царю Египетскому. Изыде же Иосиф от лица фараоня и пройде всю землю Египетскую.
Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph left the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 И сотвори земля в седми летех обилну жатву.
During the seven years of abundance the land produced large harvests.
48 И собра всякую пищу седми лет, в нихже бяше обилность в земли Египетстей: и положи пищу во градех: пищы поль града, сущих окрест его, положи в нем.
And he collected all the food during the seven years when there was abundance in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He placed in every city the food from the fields surrounding it.
49 И собра Иосиф пшеницу яко песок морский многу зело, дондеже не можаху исчести: без числа бо бяше.
Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, because it could not be measured.
50 Иосифу же беста два сына, прежде пришествия седми лет гладных, ихже роди ему Асенефа, дщерь Петефриа жреца Илиопольска:
To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51 нарече же Иосиф имя первенцу Манассиа, (глаголя: ) яко забыти мне сотвори Бог вся болезни моя, и вся, яже отца моего.
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."
52 Имя же второму нарече Ефраим, (глаголя: ) яко возрасти мя Бог в земли смирения моего.
And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."
53 Минуша же седмь лет обилных, яже быша в земли Египетстей,
And the seven years of abundance that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54 и начаша седмь лет гладных приходити, якоже рече Иосиф. И бысть глад по всей земли: во всей же земли Египетстей быша хлебы.
Then the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was food.
55 И взалка вся земля Египетская: возопи же народ к фараону о хлебех. Рече же фараон всем Египтяном: идите ко Иосифу, и еже речет вам, сотворите.
When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh said to all Egypt, "Go to Joseph. Whatever he says to you, do."
56 И глад бяше на лицы всея земли. Отверзе же Иосиф вся житницы, и продаяше всем Египтяном:
So the famine was over all the surface of the land. Then Joseph opened all the storehouses of grain and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 и вся страны прихождаху во Египет, куповати ко Иосифу: обдержаше бо глад всю землю.
And all the countries came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
