Бытие 42
1 Видев же Иаков, яко купля есть (пшеницы) во Египте, рече сыном своим: почто не радите?
And Jacob having seen that there was a sale [of corn] in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you indolent?
2 Се, слышах, яко есть пшеница во Египте: идите тамо и купите нам мало пищи, да живи будем и не умрем.
Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down there, and buy for us a little food, that we may live, and not die.
3 Идоша же братия Иосифовы десять купити пшеницы во Египет.
And the ten brethren of Joseph went down to buy corn out of Egypt.
4 Вениамина же, брата Иосифова, не отпусти с братиею его, рече бо: да не когда случится (на пути) ему зло.
But [Jacob] sent not Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, with his brethren; for he said, Lest, haply, disease befall him.
5 Приидоша же сынове Израилевы купити с приходящими: бяше бо глад в земли Ханаанстей.
And the sons of Israel came to buy with those that came, for the famine was in the land of Chanaan.
6 Иосиф же бяше князь земли: сей продаяше всем людем земли (тоя). Пришедше же братия Иосифовы, поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
And Joseph was ruler of the land; he sold to all the people of the land. And the brethren of Joseph, having come, did reverence to him, [bowing] with the face to the ground.
7 Видев же Иосиф братию свою, позна: и отчуждашеся их, и глаголаше им жестоко, и рече им: откуду приидосте? Они же реша: от земли Ханаанския купити пищи.
And when Joseph saw his brethren, he knew them, and estranged himself from them, and spoke hard words to them; and said to them, Whence are you come? And they said, Out of the land of Chanaan, to buy food.
8 Позна же Иосиф братию свою: они же не познаша его.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9 И помяну Иосиф сны своя, яже виде он: и рече им: соглядатаи есте, соглядати путий страны (сея) приидосте.
And Joseph remembered his dream, which he saw; and he said to them, You are spies; to observe the marks of the land are you come.
10 Они же реша: ни, господине, раби твои приидохом купити пищи:
But they said, Nay, Sir, we your servants are come to buy food;
11 вси есмы сынове единаго человека: мирницы есмы, не суть раби твои соглядатаи.
we are all sons of one man; we are peaceful, your servants are not spies.
12 Рече же им: ни, но пути земли (сея) приидосте соглядати.
And he said to them, Nay, but you are come to observe the marks of the land.
13 Они же реша: дванадесять есмы братия раби твои в земли Ханаани: и се, менший (от нас) со отцем нашим днесь, а другаго несть.
And they said, We your servants are twelve brethren, in the land of Chanaan; and, behold, the youngest is with our father today, but the other one is not.
14 Рече же им Иосиф: сие есть, еже рекох вам, глаголя, яко соглядатаи есте:
And Joseph said to them, This is it that I spoke to you, saying, you are spies;
15 в сем явитеся: тако ми здравия фараоня, не изыдете отсюду, аще брат ваш менший не приидет семо:
herein shall you be manifested; by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, unless your younger brother come here.
16 послите от себе единаго, и возмите брата вашего: вы же держими будите, дондеже яве будут словеса ваша, аще истинствуете, или ни: аще же ни, тако ми здравия фараоня, воистинну соглядатаи есте.
Send one of you, and take your brother; and go you to prison, till your words be clear, whether you speak the truth or not; but, if not, by the health of Pharao, verily you are spies.
17 И даде я под стражу на три дни.
And he put them in prison three days.
18 Рече же им в день третий: сие сотворите, и живи будете: Бога бо аз боюся:
And he said to them on the third day, This do, and you shall live, for I fear God.
19 аще мирницы есте, брат ваш да удержится един под стражею: сами же идите и отвезите купленую пшеницу вашу,
If you be peaceful, let one of your brethren be detained in prison; but go you, and carry back the corn you have purchased.
20 и брата вашего меншаго приведите ко мне, и верна будут словеса ваша: аще же ни, умрете. И сотвориша тако.
And bring your younger brother to me, and your words shall be believed; but, if not, you shall die. And they did so.
21 И рече кийждо к брату своему: ей, во гресех бо есмы брата ради нашего, яко презрехом скорбение души его, егда моляшеся нам, и не послушахом его: и сего ради прииде на ны скорбение сие.
And each said to his brother, Yes, indeed, for we are in fault concerning our brother, when we disregarded the anguish of his soul, when he implored us, and we listened not to him; and therefore has this affliction come upon us.
22 Отвещав же Рувим, рече им: не рех ли вам, глаголя: не преобидите детища? И не послушасте мене: и се, кровь его взыскуется.
And Ruben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Hurt not the boy, and you heard me not? and, behold, his blood is required.
23 Тии же не ведеша, яко разумеет Иосиф: толмачь бо между ими бяше.
But they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Отвратився же от них, проплакася Иосиф: и паки прииде к ним и рече им. И поя Симеона от них, и связа его пред ними.
And Joseph turned away from them, and wept; and again he came to them, and spoke to them; and he took Symeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Повеле же Иосиф наполнити сосуды их пшеницы и возвратити сребро их комуждо во вретище свое и дати им брашно на путь. И бысть им тако.
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to return their money to each into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and it was so done to them.
26 И возложивше пшеницу на ослы своя, отидоша оттуду.
And having put the corn on the asses, they departed thence.
27 Отрешив же един вретище свое дати пищу ослом своим, идеже сташа, и виде узол сребра своего, и бе верху устия вретищнаго.
And one having opened his sack to give his asses fodder, at the place where they rested, saw also his bundle of money, for it was on the mouth of his sack.
28 И рече братии своей: возвращено ми есть сребро, и се, сие во вретищи моем. И ужасеся сердце их: и возмятошася, друг ко другу глаголюще: что сие сотвори Бог нам?
And he said to his brethren, My money has been restored to me, and behold this is in my sack. And their heart was wonder-struck, and they were troubled, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us?
29 Приидоша же ко Иакову, отцу своему, в землю Ханааню и поведаша ему вся случившаяся им, глаголюще:
And they came to their father, Jacob, into the land of Chanaan, and reported to him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 глагола муж господин земли (оныя) к нам жестоко и вверже нас в темницу, аки соглядаюших землю:
The man, the lord of the land, spoke harsh words to us, and put us in prison as spies of the land.
31 рехом же ему: мирницы есмы, несмы соглядатаи:
And we said to him, We are men of peace, we are not spies.
32 дванадесять братия есмы, сынове отца нашего: единаго несть, а менший со отцем нашим днесь в земли Ханаани:
We are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with his father today in the land of Chanaan.
33 рече же нам муж господин земли (тоя): по сему увем, яко мирницы есте: брата единаго оставите зде у мене, а купленую пшеницу дому вашему вземше отидите
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Herein shall I know that you are peaceful; leave one brother here with me, and having taken the corn you have purchased for your family, depart.
34 и приведите ко мне брата вашего меншаго: и увем, яко не соглядатаи есте, но яко мирницы есте: и брата вашего отдам вам, и куплю творите в земли.
And bring to me your younger brother; then I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are men of peace: and I will restore you your brother, and you shall trade in the land.
35 Бысть же егда испраздняху вретища своя, и бяше узол сребра во вретищи коегождо их: и видеша узлы сребра своего сами и отец их, и убояшася.
And it came to pass as they were emptying their sacks, there was each man's bundle of money in his sack; and they and their father saw their bundles of money, and they were afraid.
36 Рече же им Иаков отец их: мене безчадна сотвористе: Иосифа несть, Симеона несть, и Вениамина ли поймете? На мя быша сия вся.
And their father Jacob said to them, You have bereaved me. Joseph is not, Symeon is not, and will you take Benjamin? all these things have come upon me.
37 Рече же Рувим отцу своему, глаголя: двоих сынов моих убий, аще не приведу его к тебе: даждь его в руце мои, и аз приведу его к тебе.
And Ruben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to you; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.
38 Он же рече: не пойдет сын мой с вами, яко брат его умре, и той един оста: и случится ему зло на пути, в оньже аще пойдете, и сведете старость мою с печалию во ад. (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, because his brother is dead, and he only has been left; and [suppose] it shall come to pass that he is afflicted by the way by which you go, then you shall bring down my old age with sorrow to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
