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, “My father and my brothers, their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have arrived from the land of Canaan. See, they are in the land of Goshen.”
2 От братий же своих поя пять мужей и постави их пред фараоном.
He took five of his brothers and introduced them to 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.
Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” They said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, as our ancestors.”
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.
Then they said to Pharaoh, “We come as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks, because 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).
The land of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your brothers in the best region, the land of Goshen. If you know any capable men among them, 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 Jacob his father and presented him to Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 Рече же фараон ко Иакову: колико лет дний жития твоего?
Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How long have you lived?”
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.
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my travels are a hundred and thirty. The years of my life have been few and painful. They have not been as long as those of my ancestors.”
10 И благословив Иаков фараона, отиде от него.
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his 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.
Then Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them a territory in the land of Egypt, 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.
Joseph provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father's household, according 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 severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away 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 all the money that was in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, by selling grain to the inhabitants. Then Joseph brought the money to Pharaoh's palace.
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.
When all the money of the lands of Egypt and Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph saying, “Give us food! Why should we die in your presence because our money is gone?”
16 Рече же им Иосиф: пригоните скоты вашя, и дам вам хлебы за скоты вашя, аще скончася сребро ваше.
Joseph said, “If your money is gone, bring your livestock and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock.”
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. Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, for the flocks, for the herds, and for the donkeys. He fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock 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 ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my master that our money is all gone, and the herds of cattle are my master's. There is nothing left in the sight of my master, except our bodies and our land.
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 that we may live and not die, and that the land may not 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. For every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was very severe. In this way, the land became Pharaoh's.
21 И люди поработи ему в рабы, от края предел Египетских даже до краев,
As for the people, he made them slaves from one end of Egypt's border to the other end.
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.
It was only the land of the priests that Joseph did not buy, because the priests were given an allowance. They ate from the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not 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, “See, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you will plant 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.
At the harvest, you must give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field and for food for your households and your children.”
25 И рекоша: оживил ны еси, обретохом благодать пред господином нашим, и будем раби фараону.
They said, “You have saved our lives. May we find favor in your eyes. We will be Pharaoh's servants.”
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 which is in effect in the land of Egypt to this day, that one-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests 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. His people gained possessions there. They were fruitful and multiplied greatly.
28 Поживе же Иаков в земли Египетстей седмьнадесять лет: и быша дние Иаковли лет жизни его, сто четыредесять седмь лет.
Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years, so the years of Jacob's 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,
When the time approached for Israel to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh, and show me faithfulness and trustworthiness. 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.
When I sleep with my fathers, you will carry me out of Egypt and bury me in my forefathers' burial place.” Joseph said, “I will do as you have said.”
31 Рече же: кленися мне. И клятся ему. И поклонися Израиль на конец жезла его.
Israel said, “Swear to me,” and Joseph swore to him. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his bed.
