Бытие 42
1 Видев же Иаков, яко купля есть (пшеницы) во Египте, рече сыном своим: почто не радите?
And when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look at one another?
2 Се, слышах, яко есть пшеница во Египте: идите тамо и купите нам мало пищи, да живи будем и не умрем.
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; get you down thither, and buy for us provision from there, that we may live, and not die.
3 Идоша же братия Иосифовы десять купити пшеницы во Египет.
And ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy corn in Egypt,
4 Вениамина же, брата Иосифова, не отпусти с братиею его, рече бо: да не когда случится (на пути) ему зло.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brothers; for he said, Lest mischief befall him.
5 Приидоша же сынове Израилевы купити с приходящими: бяше бо глад в земли Ханаанстей.
And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Иосиф же бяше князь земли: сей продаяше всем людем земли (тоя). Пришедше же братия Иосифовы, поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
And Joseph—he was the governor over the land, it was he that sold corn to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves down before him with the face to the earth.
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 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them; but made himself strange unto them and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 Позна же Иосиф братию свою: они же не познаша его.
And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they recognized not him.
9 И помяну Иосиф сны своя, яже виде он: и рече им: соглядатаи есте, соглядати путий страны (сея) приидосте.
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed concerning them, and he said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land are ye come.
10 Они же реша: ни, господине, раби твои приидохом купити пищи:
And they said unto him, No, my lord, thy servants are only 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 true men; thy servants have never been spies.
12 Рече же им: ни, но пути земли (сея) приидосте соглядати.
And he said unto them, No! but to see the nakedness of the land are ye come.
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, thy servants, are twelve brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.
14 Рече же им Иосиф: сие есть, еже рекох вам, глаголя, яко соглядатаи есте:
And Joseph said unto them, It is as I have spoken unto you, saying, Ye are spies;
15 в сем явитеся: тако ми здравия фараоня, не изыдете отсюду, аще брат ваш менший не приидет семо:
Hereby shall ye be proved: By the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
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 let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether the truth be with you; and if not, by the life of Pharaoh, ye are surely spies.
17 И даде я под стражу на три дни.
And he put them together into ward three days.
18 Рече же им в день третий: сие сотворите, и живи будете: Бога бо аз боюся:
And Joseph said unto them on the third day, This do, and live; I fear God.
19 аще мирницы есте, брат ваш да удержится един под стражею: сами же идите и отвезите купленую пшеницу вашу,
If ye be true men, let one of your brothers remain imprisoned in the house of your confinement; but ye, go, carry home what you have bought for the want of your household.
20 и брата вашего меншаго приведите ко мне, и верна будут словеса ваша: аще же ни, умрете. И сотвориша тако.
But your youngest brother bring unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not 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 they said to one another, Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress 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 Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not say unto you, thus, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? and behold, his blood also is now required.
23 Тии же не ведеша, яко разумеет Иосиф: толмачь бо между ими бяше.
And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke unto them by an interpreter.
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 he turned himself away from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and spoke with them, and took from them Simeon, 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 commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and he did unto them thus.
26 И возложивше пшеницу на ослы своя, отидоша оттуду.
And they loaded their asses with their corn, and 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 of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn: when he espied his money, for, behold, it was in 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 unto his brothers, My money hath been restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
29 Приидоша же ко Иакову, отцу своему, в землю Ханааню и поведаша ему вся случившаяся им, глаголюще:
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and they told him all that had befallen 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 roughly to us, and took us as though we were espying the country.
31 рехом же ему: мирницы есмы, несмы соглядатаи:
And we said unto him, We are true men; we have never been spies:
32 дванадесять братия есмы, сынове отца нашего: единаго несть, а менший со отцем нашим днесь в земли Ханаани:
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; the one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
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 country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men: leave one of your brothers here with me, and [the food for] the want of your households take ye and be gone;
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 your youngest brother unto me; then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men; your brother I will give up to you, and in the land ye shall be allowed to traffic.
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, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when they saw the bundles of their money, they and their father, 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 Jacob their father said unto them, Me ye have bereaved of my children: Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone, and Benjamin ye will take away; all these things are against 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 Reuben said unto his father, thus, Two of my sons shalt thou slay, if I bring him not to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back to thee.
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)
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left: and if mischief befall him by the way in which ye go, then will ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
