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 could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 И испусти глас с плачем: слышаша же вси Египтяне, и слышано бысть в дому фараонове.
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
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; does my father yet live? And his brothers could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 Рече же Иосиф братии своей: приближитеся ко мне. И приближишася. И рече: аз есмь Иосиф, брат ваш, егоже продасте во Египет:
And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold 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 therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 сие бо второе лето глад на земли, и еще пять лет оста, в нихже не будет орания, ни жатвы:
For these two years has the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be ripening nor harvest.
7 посла бо мя Бог пред вами оставити вам останок на земли и препитати ваш останок велий:
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
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 that sent me here, but God: and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout 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:
Haste you, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt: come down to me, tarry not:
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:
And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you, and your children, and your children’s children, and your flocks, and your herds, and all that 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 will I nourish you; for yet there are five years of famine; lest you, and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty.
12 Се, очи ваши видят, и очи Вениамина брата моего, яко уста моя глаголющая к вам:
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13 возвестите убо отцу моему всю славу мою сущую во Египте, и елика видите: и ускоривше, приведите отца моего семо.
And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall haste and bring down my father here.
14 И напад на выю Вениамина, брата своего, плакася над ним, и Вениамин плакася на выи его.
And he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15 И облобызав всю братию свою, плакася над ними: и по сих глаголаша к нему братия его.
Moreover he kissed all his brothers, and wept on them: and after that his brothers talked with him.
16 И пронесеся глас в дому фараонове, глаголюще: приидоша братия Иосифова. Возрадовася же фараон и раби его.
And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brothers are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, 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, This do you; lade your beasts, and go, get you 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 take your father and your households, and come to me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.
19 ты же заповеждь сия: взяти им колесницы от земли Египетския, детем их и женам их: и поимше отца своего, приидите:
Now you are commanded, this do you; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 и не пощадите очима сосудов ваших: вся бо благая Египетская вам будут.
Also regard not your stuff; for the good 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 so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 и всем даде сугубы ризы, Вениамину же даде триста златниц и пятеры ризы пременныя:
To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
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 after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 И отпусти братию свою. И отидоша. И рече им: не гневайтеся на пути.
So he sent his brothers away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that you fall not out by the way.
25 Изыдоша же из Египта и приидоша в землю Ханааню ко Иакову отцу своему
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father,
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 told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
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 told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
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 yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
