Genesis 49
1 Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
Призва же Иаков сыны своя и рече им: соберитеся, да возвещу вам, что срящет вас в последния дни:
2 “Gather around me in order that I can tell you what will happen in the future. My sons, come and listen to me. I am your father, [Jacob, whom God named] Israel.
соберитеся и послушайте мене, сынове Иаковли, послушайте Израиля, послушайте отца вашего.
3 Reuben, you are my oldest son. You were born when I was young and energetic/strong. You are prouder and stronger than all the rest of my sons.
Рувим, первенец мой, ты крепость моя и начало чад моих: жесток терпети и жесток упорник:
4 But you were as uncontrollable as a flood [SIM]. So now you will not be my most important son, because you climbed up onto my bed, and had sex with [MTY] my (concubine/slave who had become one of my wives). Your doing that caused me, your father, to have great shame.
досадил еси яко вода, да не воскипиши: возшел бо еси на ложе отца твоего, тогда осквернил еси постелю, идеже возшел еси.
5 Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
Симеон и Левий братия совершиста обиду от воли своея:
6 I do not want to be with you when you make evil plans [DOU]. I do not want to join you in your meetings, because you killed people when you became very angry, and you (hamstrung/cut the tendons in the legs of) oxen just to (have fun/see them suffer).
в совет их да не приидет душа моя, и к собранию их да не прилепятся внутренняя моя: яко во гневе своем избиста человеки, и в похоти своей пререзаста жилы юнца:
7 God says, ‘I will (curse/cause bad things to happen to) them for being very angry, for acting very cruelly when they were very furious. I will scatter their descendants [MTY] throughout Israel land.’
проклята ярость их, яко упорна, и гнев их, яко ожесточися: разделю их во Иакове и разсею их во Израили.
8 Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
Иудо, тебе похвалят братия твоя, руце твои на плещу враг твоих: поклонятся тебе сынове отца твоего:
9 Judah is like a young lion [SIM] that has returned to its den satisfied after eating the animals that it has killed. He is like a lion that lies down and stretches out after eating; no one would dare to disturb it [RHQ].
скимен львов Иуда: от леторасли, сыне мой, возшел еси: возлег уснул еси яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его?
10 There will always be a ruler [MTY] from the descendants of Judah [MTY]. Each one will hold a scepter/staff to show that he has authority as a king. He will do that until the one to whom the scepter belongs comes, the one to whom the nations will bring tribute and show that they will obey him.
Не оскудеет князь от Иуды и вождь от чресл его, дондеже приидут отложеная Ему, и Той чаяние языков:
11 The grapevines of Judah’s descendants will produce grapes very abundantly. As a result, they will not object to tying their young donkeys to the grapevines in order that the donkeys can eat the leaves of the grapevines. [Wine will be very plentiful, with the result that] they could wash their cloaks in wine that is as red as blood [MET].
привязуяй к лозе жребя свое и к винничию жребца осляте своего, исперет вином одежду свою и кровию гроздия одеяние свое:
12 Their eyes will be red because of [drinking too much] wine, but their teeth will be very white because of drinking much milk [from the cows].
радостотворны очи его паче вина, и белы зубы его паче млека.
13 Zebulun, your descendants will live by the seashore where there will be a safe harbor for ships. Their land will extend north as far as Sidon [city].
Завулон при мори вселится, и той на пристанищи кораблей, и прострется даже до Сидона.
14 Issachar, your descendants will be like strong donkeys that are lying down on the ground between their loads, [so tired that they cannot get up]!
Иссахар доброе возжела, почивая посреде пределов,
15 They will see that their resting place is good, and that the land pleases them very much. But they will bend their backs to carry heavy loads and be forced to work for others.
и видев покой, яко добр, и землю, яко тучна, подложи рамы свои на труд, и бысть муж земледелец.
16 Dan, although your tribe will be small, their leaders will rule their people just like the leaders of other tribes of Israel will rule their people.
Дан судити имать люди своя, яко и едино племя во Израили,
17 Your descendants will be like snakes at the side of a road, like poisonous snakes lying beside a path. They will strike the heels of horses that pass by, causing the riders to fall backwards [as the horses rear up on their hind legs].”
и да будет Дан змий на пути, седяй на распутии, угрызая пяту конску:
18 Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
и падет конник вспять, спасения ждый Господня.
19 [Then Jacob continued telling his sons what would happen in the future. He said], “Gad, your tribe/descendants will be attacked by a group of bandits, but your tribe/descendants will pursue and attack them [MTY].
Гад, искушение искусит его: он же искусит того при ногах.
20 Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
Асир, тучен его хлеб, и той даст пищу князем.
21 Naphtali, your descendants will be like deer [MET] that are (free to/not tied down and can) run wherever they wish. They will give birth to children who are good-looking like (fawns/baby deer) [MET].
Неффалим стебль распущающаяся, издаяй во отрасли доброту.
22 Joseph, you will have many descendants [MET]. Their children will be as many as the fruit on a vine near a spring of water, whose branches extend over a wall.
Сын возращен Иосиф, сын возращен мой ревностный, сын мой юнейший, ко мне обратися:
23 Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
на негоже советующе укоряху и наляцаху нань господие стреляний,
24 But they will hold their bows steady and their arms will remain strong, because of the power [MTY] of my mighty God, because of Yahweh who guides and provides for me [MET] like a shepherd guides and provides for his sheep. The people of Israel will [ask Yahweh to protect them], [like people hide under] a huge [overhanging] to be protected.
и сотрошася с крепостию луки их, и разслабеша жилы мышцей рук их, рукою сильнаго Иакова: оттуду укрепися Израиль от Бога отца твоего,
25 God, the one whom I worship, will help your descendants. God Almighty will bless them by sending them rain from the sky and by giving them water from deep/far below the ground. He will give them many cattle and children [MET] (OR, and their cattle will have many offspring).
и поможе тебе Бог мой, и благослови тя благословением небесным свыше и благословением земли и имущия вся: благословения ради сосцев и ложесн,
26 The blessings that I want God to give you are great ones. They are greater than the blessings that come from the eternal mountains, greater than the ones that come from the everlasting hills. Joseph, I pray that these blessings will (be given to you/come upon your head), because you are the leader of your [older] brothers [and younger brother].
благословения отца твоего и матере твоея: преодоле паче благословения гор пребывающих и благословения холмов вечных: будут на главе Иосифове и на версе (главы) братий, имиже обладаше.
27 Benjamin, your descendants will be like [MET] vicious/fierce wolves: In the morning they will kill their enemies like a wolf devours (its prey/the animals that it has killed), and in the evening they will divide among their warriors the spoils that they seized from their enemies.”
Вениамин волк хищник, рано яст еще и на вечер дает пищу.
28 Those twelve sons are the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. That is what their father said to them as he blessed them, telling to each one words that were appropriate for him.
Вси сии сынове Иаковли дванадесять: и сия глагола им отец их, и благослови их: коегождо по благословению его благослови их,
29 Then Jacob said to his sons, “I will soon die. Bury my body where some of my ancestors are buried, in the cave that is in the field that was bought from Ephron, who belonged to the Heth people-group.
и рече им: аз прилагаюся к людем моим: погребите мя со отцы моими в пещере, яже есть в селе Ефрона Хеттеанина,
30 That field is in the Machpelah area, east of Mamre [town], in Canaan. My grandfather Abraham bought it from Ephron to use as a burial place.
в пещере Сугубей, яже прямо Мамврии в земли Ханаани, юже стяжа Авраам пещеру у Ефрона Хеттеанина в стяжание гроба.
31 That is where they buried him and his wife Sarah. That is where they buried my father Isaac and his wife Rebekah. And that is where I buried my wife Leah.
Тамо погребоша Авраама и Сарру жену его, тамо погребоша Исаака и Ревекку жену его, тамо погребоша Лию,
32 That field and the cave in it were bought from the Heth people-group; so that is where I want you to bury me.”
в стяжании села и пещеры, яже есть в нем у сынов Хеттеовых.
33 When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
И преста Иаков завещая сыном своим, и возложив Иаков нозе свои на одр умре, и приложися к людем своим.
