Бытие 45
1 И не можаше Иосиф удержатися всем предстоящым ему, но рече: отослите всех от мене. И не предстояше ни един Иосифу, егда познавашеся братии своей.
Then Joseph, unable to keep back his feelings before those who were with him, gave orders for everyone to be sent away, and no one was present when he made clear to his brothers who he was.
2 И испусти глас с плачем: слышаша же вси Египтяне, и слышано бысть в дому фараонове.
And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.
3 Рече же Иосиф братии своей: аз есмь Иосиф: еще ли отец мой жив есть? И не могоша братия отвещати ему: смутишася бо.
And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph: is my father still living? But his brothers were not able to give him an answer for they were troubled before him.
4 Рече же Иосиф братии своей: приближитеся ко мне. И приближишася. И рече: аз есмь Иосиф, брат ваш, егоже продасте во Египет:
Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.
5 ныне убо не скорбите, ниже жестоко вам да явится, яко продасте мя семо: на жизнь бо посла мя Бог пред вами:
Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.
6 сие бо второе лето глад на земли, и еще пять лет оста, в нихже не будет орания, ни жатвы:
For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.
7 посла бо мя Бог пред вами оставити вам останок на земли и препитати ваш останок велий:
God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.
8 ныне убо не вы посласте мя семо, но Бог: и сотвори мя яко отца фараону и господина всему дому его и князя всей земли Египетстей:
So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 потщавшеся убо, взыдите ко отцу моему и рцыте ему: сия глаголет сын твой Иосиф: сотвори мя Бог господина всей земли Египетстей: сниди убо ко мне и не умедли:
Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:
10 и вселишися в земли Гесемли аравийстей, и будеши близ мене ты и сынове твои, и сынове сынов твоих, овцы твоя и волове твои, и елика суть твоя:
The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:
11 и препитаю тя тамо, еще бо пять лет будет глад на земли, да не погибнеши ты и сынове твои, и вся имения твоя.
And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.
12 Се, очи ваши видят, и очи Вениамина брата моего, яко уста моя глаголющая к вам:
Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.
13 возвестите убо отцу моему всю славу мою сущую во Египте, и елика видите: и ускоривше, приведите отца моего семо.
Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.
14 И напад на выю Вениамина, брата своего, плакася над ним, и Вениамин плакася на выи его.
Then, weeping, he took Benjamin in his arms, and Benjamin himself was weeping on Joseph's neck.
15 И облобызав всю братию свою, плакася над ними: и по сих глаголаша к нему братия его.
Then he gave a kiss to all his brothers, weeping over them; and after that his brothers had no fear of talking to him.
16 И пронесеся глас в дому фараонове, глаголюще: приидоша братия Иосифова. Возрадовася же фараон и раби его.
And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.
17 Рече же фараон ко Иосифу: рцы братии своей: сие сотворите: наполните сосуды вашя (пшеницы) и идите в землю Ханааню,
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Put your goods on your beasts and go back to the land of Canaan;
18 и вземше отца вашего и имения ваша, приидите ко мне: и дам вам от всех благ Египетских, и снесте тук земли:
And get your father and your families and come back to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, and the fat of the land will be your food.
19 ты же заповеждь сия: взяти им колесницы от земли Египетския, детем их и женам их: и поимше отца своего, приидите:
And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.
20 и не пощадите очима сосудов ваших: вся бо благая Египетская вам будут.
And take no thought for your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 Сотвориша же тако сынове Израилевы: даде же им Иосиф колесницы по повелению фараона царя (Египетска), и даде им брашно на путь:
And the children of Israel did as he said; and Joseph gave them carts as had been ordered by Pharaoh, and food for their journey.
22 и всем даде сугубы ризы, Вениамину же даде триста златниц и пятеры ризы пременныя:
To every one of them he gave three changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred bits of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 и отцу своему посла такожде, и десять ослов везущих от всех благ Египетских, и десять мсков везущих хлебы на путь отцу его.
And to his father he sent ten asses with good things from Egypt on their backs, and ten she-asses with grain and bread and food for his father on the journey.
24 И отпусти братию свою. И отидоша. И рече им: не гневайтеся на пути.
And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.
25 Изыдоша же из Египта и приидоша в землю Ханааню ко Иакову отцу своему
So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26 и поведаша ему глаголюще: яко сын твой Иосиф жив есть, и он владеет над всею землею Египетскою. И ужасеся в мысли Иаков: не вероваше бо им.
And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.
27 Глаголаша же ему вся реченная от Иосифа, елика рече им. Узрев же колесницы, яже посла Иосиф, еже взяти его, оживе дух Иакова, отца их,
And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:
28 и рече Израиль: велико ми есть (сие), аще еще Иосиф сын мой жив есть: шед узрю его, прежде неже умрети ми.
And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is still living; I will go and see him before my death.
