Бытие 47

1 Пришед же Иосиф, поведа фараону глаголя: отец мой и братия моя, и скоти и волове их, и вся сущая их приидоша из земли Ханаани: и се, суть в земли Гесем.

Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come from the land of Canaan. And look, they are in the land of Goshen."

2 От братий же своих поя пять мужей и постави их пред фараоном.

And from among his brothers he took five men and presented them before Pharaoh.

3 И рече фараон к братиям Иосифовым: что дело ваше? Они же реша фараону: пастуси овчии, раби твои, и мы и отцы наши отдетска и доселе.

Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."

4 Рекоша же фараону: обитати в земли приидохом, несть бо пажити скотом раб твоих: одоле бо глад на земли Ханаани: ныне убо да вселимся раби твои в земли Гесем.

And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."

5 И рече фараон Иосифу, глаголя: отец твой и братия твоя приидоша к тебе:

Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you,

6 се, земля Египетская пред тобою есть: на лучшей земли посели отца твоего и братию твою, да вселятся в земли Гесем: аще же веси, яко суть в них мужие сильнии, постави их старейшины скотом моим. (приидоша же во Египет ко Иосифу Иаков и сынове его: и услыша фараон царь Египетский).

and the land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

7 Введе же Иосиф Иакова отца своего и постави его пред фараоном, и благослови Иаков фараона.

Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob, and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8 Рече же фараон ко Иакову: колико лет дний жития твоего?

And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"

9 И рече Иаков фараону: дние лет жития моего, яже обитаю, сто тридесять лет: малы и злы быша дние лет жития моего: не достигоша во дни лет жития отец моих, яже дни обиташа.

So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are one hundred thirty years. Few and difficult have been the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."

10 И благословив Иаков фараона, отиде от него.

Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from Pharaoh's presence.

11 И всели Иосиф отца своего и братию свою, и даде им обдержание в земли Египетстей, на лучшей земли, в земли Рамессийстей, якоже повеле фараон.

Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

12 И деляше Иосиф пшеницу отцу своему и братии своей и всему дому отца своего по числу лиц.

And Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, according to the number of their dependents.

13 Пшеницы же не бяше во всей земли, одоле бо глад зело: скончавашеся же земля Египетская и земля Ханааня от глада.

Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan grew weak because of the famine.

14 Собра же Иосиф все сребро обретшееся в земли Египетстей и в земли Ханаани, за пшеницу, юже куповаху, и размеряше им пшеницу, и внесе Иосиф все сребро в дом фараонов.

Joseph gathered up all of the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain they were purchasing. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's treasury.

15 И оскуде все сребро от земли Египетския и от земли Ханаанския: приидоша же вси Египтяне ко Иосифу, глаголюще: даждь нам хлебы, и вскую умираем пред тобою? Скончася бо сребро наше.

And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."

16 Рече же им Иосиф: пригоните скоты вашя, и дам вам хлебы за скоты вашя, аще скончася сребро ваше.

Then Joseph said, "Give me your livestock and I will give you food for your livestock, if your silver is gone."

17 Пригнаша же скоты своя ко Иосифу, и даде им Иосиф хлебы за кони и за овцы, и за волы и за ослы, и прекорми их хлебами за вся скоты их в том лете.

So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

18 Прейде же то лето, и приидоша к нему во второе лето и рекоша ему: да не како погибнем от господина нашего? Аще бо скончася сребро наше, и имение и скоты пред тобою, господине, и не остася нам пред господином нашим, точию едино тело и земля наша:

When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that all our silver is spent and that the herds of livestock belong to my lord. There is nothing left, as my lord can see, except our bodies and our lands.

19 да не умрем убо пред тобою, и земля опустеет, купи нас и землю нашу хлебами: и будем мы и земля наша раби фараону: даждь семя, да посеем и живи будем, и не умрем, и земля не опустеет.

Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed so that we may live and not die, and that the land won't become desolate."

20 И купи Иосиф всю землю Египетскую фараону: продаша бо Египтяне землю свою фараону, ибо одоле им глад: и бысть земля фараону.

So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, because every Egyptian sold his field, since the famine was severe on them. So the land became Pharaoh's.

21 И люди поработи ему в рабы, от края предел Египетских даже до краев,

And as for the people, he subjugated them as slaves from one end of the border of Egypt to the other end of it.

22 кроме земли жреческия токмо, тоя бо не купи Иосиф: даянием бо даде в дар жерцем фараон, и ядяху даяние, еже даде им фараон: сего ради не продаша земли своея.

Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off their allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not have to sell their land.

23 Рече же Иосиф всем Египтяном: се, купих вас и землю вашу днесь фараону: возмите себе семена и сейте на земли:

Then Joseph said to the people, "Look, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you so you can plant the seed in the land.

24 и будут плоды ея, и да дасте пятую часть фараону, четыри же части будут вам самем в семена земли и на препитание вам и всем сущым в домех ваших.

And it will come to pass at the harvests that you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths will be yours for seed for the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and as food for your little ones."

25 И рекоша: оживил ны еси, обретохом благодать пред господином нашим, и будем раби фараону.

Then they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."

26 И устави им Иосиф заповедь даже до сего дне на земли Египетстей пятую часть даяти фараону, кроме земли жреческия: та точию не бяше фараоня.

So Joseph made it a statute still in effect for the land of Egypt, that a fifth must go to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.

27 Вселися же Израиль в земли Египетстей, на земли Гесем, и наследствоваше ю: и возрастоша, и умножишася зело.

So Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they acquired property in it and were fertile and became numerous.

28 Поживе же Иаков в земли Египетстей седмьнадесять лет: и быша дние Иаковли лет жизни его, сто четыредесять седмь лет.

And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

29 Приближишася же дние Израилю еже умрети, и призва сына своего Иосифа и рече ему: аще обретох благодать пред тобою, подложи руку твою под стегно мое и сотвориши надо мною милость и истину, еже не погребсти мене во Египте,

And the time approached for Israel to die, so he summoned his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

30 но да почию со отцы моими: и изнесеши мя из Египта, и погребеши мя во гробе их. Он же рече: аз сотворю по словеси твоему.

but when I lie down with my fathers you must carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do what you have asked."

31 Рече же: кленися мне. И клятся ему. И поклонися Израиль на конец жезла его.

Then he said, "Take an oath to me," and he took an oath to him. Then Israel bowed over the top of his staff.
