Genesis 47
1 Joseph went to report to Pharaoh and told him, “My father and brothers, along with their flocks and herds and all their possessions, have arrived from the land of Canaan and now they're here in Goshen.”
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.
2 Joseph took five of his brothers to go with him and introduced them to Pharaoh.
От братий же своих поя пять мужей и постави их пред фараоном.
3 Pharaoh asked the brothers, “What work do you do?” “Your servants are shepherds, just like our fathers before us,” they replied.
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.
4 “We have come to live in Egypt because there's no grass left in Canaan for our flocks to eat,” they explained. “The famine is really bad in Canaan. So we would like to please ask permission to live in Goshen.”
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.
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now that your father and brothers have arrived to join you,
И рече фараон Иосифу, глаголя: отец твой и братия твоя приидоша к тебе:
6 you can choose wherever you like in Egypt, the best place, for them to live. Let them live in Goshen. If you know any of them who are good at what they do, put them in charge of my livestock as well.”
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).
7 Then Joseph went with his father Jacob and introduced him Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
Введе же Иосиф Иакова отца своего и постави его пред фараоном, и благослови Иаков фараона.
8 Pharaoh asked him, “So how long have you lived?”
Рече же фараон ко Иакову: колико лет дний жития твоего?
9 “I have been wandering for 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My life has been short and difficult—I have not lived as long as my forefathers who also wandered from place to place.”
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.
10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh again before leaving him.
И благословив Иаков фараона, отиде от него.
11 So Joseph arranged for his father and brothers to live in Egypt and gave them land in the best part near Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.
И всели Иосиф отца своего и братию свою, и даде им обдержание в земли Египетстей, на лучшей земли, в земли Рамессийстей, якоже повеле фараон.
12 He also provided food for all of them—his father, his brothers, and his father's whole household—depending on family size.
И деляше Иосиф пшеницу отцу своему и братии своей и всему дому отца своего по числу лиц.
13 No food was left in the whole country because the famine had become so bad. Throughout Egypt and Canaan people were starving.
Пшеницы же не бяше во всей земли, одоле бо глад зело: скончавашеся же земля Египетская и земля Ханааня от глада.
14 By selling grain Joseph collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and placed it in Pharaoh's treasury.
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.
15 Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!”
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.
16 “Bring me your livestock,” Joseph told them. “I'll give you grain in exchange for your livestock if you've run out of money.”
Рече же им Иосиф: пригоните скоты вашя, и дам вам хлебы за скоты вашя, аще скончася сребро ваше.
17 So they brought Joseph their livestock, and he provided them with grain in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys. He gave them grain in return for their livestock during that year.
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.
18 But when that year was over, they came to him the next year and said, “My lord, we can't hide from you the fact that our money is gone and that you now own our livestock. All we have left to give you are our bodies and our land.
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:
19 Do you want us to die right in front of you? So buy us and our land in return for food. Then our land will belong to Pharaoh, and we'll be his slaves. Just give us grain so we can live and won't die, and so the land won't be abandoned.”
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.
20 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Each and every Egyptian sold their fields, because the famine was hurting them so badly. The land ended up being owned by Pharaoh,
И купи Иосиф всю землю Египетскую фараону: продаша бо Египтяне землю свою фараону, ибо одоле им глад: и бысть земля фараону.
21 and all the people became his slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other.
И люди поработи ему в рабы, от края предел Египетских даже до краев,
22 The only land he didn't buy belonged to the priests because they had a food allowance provided to them by Pharaoh, so they didn't have to sell their land.
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.
23 Then Joseph told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the fields.
Рече же Иосиф всем Египтяном: се, купих вас и землю вашу днесь фараону: возмите себе семена и сейте на земли:
24 However, when it's harvested, you have to give one fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you can keep as seed for the fields and as food for you, your households, and your children.”
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.
25 “You've saved our lives,” they declared. “May you continue to treat us well, my lord, and we'll be Pharaoh's slaves.”
И рекоша: оживил ны еси, обретохом благодать пред господином нашим, и будем раби фараону.
26 So Joseph made it a law for Egypt which is still is in effect today that one fifth of all produce from the land belongs to Pharaoh. Only the priests' land was exempt since it did not belong to Pharaoh.
И устави им Иосиф заповедь даже до сего дне на земли Египетстей пятую часть даяти фараону, кроме земли жреческия: та точию не бяше фараоня.
27 The Israelites settled in Goshen in Egypt where they became prosperous landowners and rapidly increased in number.
Вселися же Израиль в земли Египетстей, на земли Гесем, и наследствоваше ю: и возрастоша, и умножишася зело.
28 Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years, so he lived in total 137 years.
Поживе же Иаков в земли Египетстей седмьнадесять лет: и быша дние Иаковли лет жизни его, сто четыредесять седмь лет.
29 When the time came for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If you think well of me, place your hand under my thigh and promise to treat me with trustworthy love and faithfulness. Don't bury me here in Egypt.
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,
30 When I die, bury me with my forefathers. You must take my body from Egypt to the family tomb and bury me with them.” “I will do as you say,” Joseph promised.
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.
31 “Swear to me that you will,” he said. Joseph swore that he would. Israel bowed in worship at the head of his bed.
Рече же: кленися мне. И клятся ему. И поклонися Израиль на конец жезла его.
