Бытие 41
1 Бысть же по двою лету дний, фараон виде сон: мняшеся стояти при реце:
At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed, and behold, he stood by the river.
2 и се, аки из реки исхождаху седмь крав добры видом и избранны телесы, и пасяхуся по брегу:
Behold, seven cattle came up out of the river. They were sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.
3 другия же седмь крав изыдоша по сих из реки, злы видом и телесы худы, и пасяхуся с кравами по брегу речному:
Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.
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 ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 И виде сон вторый: и се, седмь класи исхождаху из стеблия единаго избранны и добры:
He slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.
6 друзии же седмь класи тонцыи, истончени ветром, израстаху по них:
Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung 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 of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, 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.
In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt’s magicians and wise men. 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 cup bearer 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 custody in the house of the captain of the guard, with the chief baker.
11 и видехом сон оба единыя нощи аз и он, кийждо свой сон видехом:
We dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each man dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 бяше же тамо с нами юноша, отрок Евреин архимагиров, и поведахом ему, и разсуди нам:
There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.
13 бысть же, якоже сказа нам, тако и случися, мне паки быти во своем старейшинстве, а оному повешену.
As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
14 Послав же фараон, призва Иосифа: и изведоша его из твердыни, и остригоша его, и измениша ризы ему, и прииде к фараону.
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, 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.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 Отвещав же Иосиф фараону, рече: без Бога не отвещается спасение фараону.
Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
17 Рече же фараон Иосифу, глаголя: во сне моем мняхся стояти на брезе речнем:
Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river;
18 и аки из реки исхождаху седмь кравы добры видом и избранны телесы, и пасяхуся по брегу:
and behold, seven fat and sleek cattle came up out of the river. They fed in the marsh grass;
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 behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
20 и изядоша седмь кравы злыя и худыя седмь крав первых добрых и избранных:
The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle;
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,
and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 и видех паки во сне моем, и аки седмь класи исхождаху из единаго стеблия полны и добры:
I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good;
23 друзии же седмь класи тонцыи и ветром истончени изницаху вслед их:
and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung 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.
The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”
25 И рече Иосиф фараону: сон фараонов един есть: елика Бог творит, показа фараону:
Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
26 седмь кравы добрыя седмь лет суть: и седмь класи добрии седмь лет суть: сон фараонов един есть:
The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.
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:
The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.
28 слово же еже рех фараону, елика Бог творит, показа фараону:
That is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 се, седмь лет приходит, обилность многа во всей земли Египетстей:
Behold, seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt are coming.
30 приидут же седмь лет глада по сих, и забудут сытости будущия во всем Египте, и погубит глад землю,
Seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
31 и не познается обилие на земли от глада будущаго по сих: силен бо будет зело:
and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.
32 повторися же сон фараону дважды, яко истинно будет слово еже от Бога, и ускорит Бог сотворити оно:
The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 ныне убо усмотри человека мудра и смыслена и постави его над землею Египетскою:
“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him 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,
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteous years.
35 и да соберут всякую пищу седми лет грядущих добрых сих: и да соберется пшеница под руку фараоню, пища во градех да хранится:
Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and store grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
36 и будет пища соблюдена земли на седмь лет гладных, яже имут быти в земли Египетстей, да не потребится земля в гладе.
The food will be to supply the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; so that the land will not perish through the famine.”
37 Угодно же бысть слово пред фараоном и пред всеми рабы его.
The thing 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:
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet 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 shall be over my house. All my people will be ruled according to your word. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
41 Рече же фараон Иосифу се, поставляю тя днесь над всею землею Египетскою.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you 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,
Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
43 и всади его на колесницу свою вторую, и проповеда пред ним проповедник: и постави его над всею землею Египетскою.
He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Рече же фараон Иосифу: аз фараон: без тебе не воздвигнет руки своея никтоже во всей земли Египетстей.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh. Without you, no man shall lift up his hand or his foot 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. He gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over 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 stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 И сотвори земля в седми летех обилну жатву.
In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly.
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.
He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities. He stored food in each city from the fields around that city.
49 И собра Иосиф пшеницу яко песок морский многу зело, дондеже не можаху исчести: без числа бо бяше.
Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
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”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”
52 Имя же второму нарече Ефраим, (глаголя: ) яко возрасти мя Бог в земли смирения моего.
The name of the second, he called Ephraim: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Минуша же седмь лет обилных, яже быша в земли Египетстей,
The seven years of plenty, that were 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.
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 bread.
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 was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
56 И глад бяше на лицы всея земли. Отверзе же Иосиф вся житницы, и продаяше всем Египтяном:
The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 и вся страны прихождаху во Египет, куповати ко Иосифу: обдержаше бо глад всю землю.
All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
