Бытие 37
1 Вселися же Иаков в земли, идеже обита Исаак, отец его, в земли Ханаани.
Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 Сии же роди Иаковли. Иосиф же бяше седминадесяти лет, пасый овцы отца своего с братиею своею, юн сый, с сынми Валлы и с сынми Зелфы, жен отца своего: нанесоша же на Иосифа злу клевету ко Израилю отцу своему.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, tended the flock with his brothers; he was an assistant to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 Иаков же любляше Иосифа паче всех сынов своих, яко сын в старости ему бысть: и сотвори ему ризу пестру.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he had been born to him in his old age. And he made a long ornamented robe for him.
4 Видевше же братия его, яко любит его отец паче всех сынов своих, возненавидеша его и не можаху глаголати к нему ничтоже мирно.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak a kind word to him.
5 Видев же Иосиф сон, поведа и братии своей
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 и рече им: послушайте сна сего, егоже видех:
He said to them, "Please listen to this dream I had:
7 мнех вас вяжущих снопы среде поля: и воста мой сноп и ста прямо, ваши же снопы обратившеся поклонишася моему снопу.
And look, we were binding sheaves in the field, and look, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And look, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 Реша же ему братия его: еда царствуя царствовати будеши над нами, или господствуя господствовати будеши над нами? И приложиша еще ненавидети его снов ради его и ради словес его.
Then his brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed rule over us?" So they hated him all the more for his dreams and for what he said.
9 Виде же сон другий и поведа его отцу своему и братии своей, и рече: се, видех другий сон: аки бы солнце и луна и единонадесять звезд покланяхуся мне.
And he had another dream, and told it to his father and to his brothers, and said, "Look, I had yet another dream, and look, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."
10 И запрети ему отец его и рече ему: что сон сей, егоже еси видел? Еда пришедше приидем аз и мати твоя и братия твоя поклонитися тебе до земли?
When he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you had? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come and bow down to the ground in front of you?"
11 Позавидеша же ему братия его: отец же его соблюде слово сие.
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept thinking about the matter.
12 Отидоша же братия его пасти овцы отца своего в Сихем.
Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.
13 И рече Израиль ко Иосифу: еда братия твоя не пасут в Сихеме? Гряди да послю тя к ним. Рече же ему: се, аз.
And Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers pasturing the flock near Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I am ready."
14 Рече же ему Израиль: шед, виждь, аще здравствуют братия твоя и овцы, и повеждь ми. И посла его от юдоли Хеврони. И прииде в Сихем:
So he said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and report back to me." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 и обрете его человек заблуждающа на поли: вопроси же его человек глаголя: чесого ищеши?
And a man found him, and look, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16 Он же рече: братии моея ищу: повеждь ми, где пасут.
He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."
17 Рече же ему человек: отидоша отсюду: слышах бо их глаголющих: пойдем в Дофаим. И иде Иосиф вслед братии своея и обрете я в Дофаиме.
The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 Предузреша же его издалече, прежде приближения его к ним, и зле умыслиша убити его:
Now they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they plotted against him to kill him.
19 рече же кийждо к брату своему: се, сновидец оный идет:
And they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming.
20 ныне убо приидите, убием его и ввержим его во един от рвов, и речем: зверь лют снеде его: и узрим, что будут сония его.
Come now, and let's kill him and throw him into one of the cisterns, and we will say that a vicious animal has devoured him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams."
21 Слышав же Рувим, отя его из рук их и рече: не убием его на души.
But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let's not take his life."
22 Рече же им Рувим: не пролийте крове, вверзите его во един от рвов сих, иже в пустыни, руки же не возложите на него: (тщашеся бо) яко да изымет его от рук их и отдаст его отцу своему.
Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
23 Бысть же егда прииде Иосиф к братии своей, совлекоша со Иосифа ризу пеструю, яже на нем,
It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing.
24 и поемше его ввергоша в ров: ров же тощь, воды не имяше.
And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.)
25 И седоша ясти хлеб, и воззревше очима видеша, и се, путницы Исмаилтяне идяху от Галаада, и велблюды их полны фимиама и ритины и стакти: идяху же везуще во Египет.
Then they sat down to eat a meal. And they looked up, and look, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 Рече же Иуда ко братии своей: кая польза, аще убием брата нашего и скрыем кровь его?
Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Грядите продадим его Исмаилтяном сим: руце же наши да не будут на нем, яко брат наш и плоть наша есть. Послушаша же братия его.
Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay a hand on him, for he is our brother, our flesh." And his brothers agreed.
28 И мимоидоша человецы Мадиамстии купцы: и извлекоша и возведоша Иосифа из рова, и продаша Иосифа Исмаилтяном на двадесять златниц. И поведоша Иосифа во Египет.
So the Midianites merchants passed by, and they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the cistern, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 Возвратися же Рувим к рову и не узре Иосифа в рове: и растерза ризы своя,
And Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph wasn't in the cistern; and he tore his clothes.
30 и прииде ко братии своей и рече: отрочища несть, аз же камо иду ктому?
He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone. Now, what am I to do?"
31 Вземше же ризу Иосифову, заклаша козлище от коз и помазаша ризу кровию:
They took Joseph's robe and killed a male goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 и послаша ризу пеструю, и принесоша ко отцу своему и рекоша: сию обретохом: познавай, аще риза сына твоего есть, или ни?
And they sent the long ornamented robe and they brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. Please examine it to see whether it is your son's robe or not."
33 И позна ю и рече: риза сына моего есть: зверь лют снеде его: зверь восхити Иосифа.
And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe. A vicious animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."
34 И растерза Иаков ризы своя, и возложи вретище на чресла своя, и плакашеся сына своего дни многи.
Then Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth around his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Собрашася же вси сынове его и дщери и приидоша утешити его: и не хотяше утешитися, глаголя: яко сниду к сыну моему сетуя во ад. И плакася о нем отец его. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, "Indeed, I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." And his father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 Мадиане же продаша Иосифа во Египет Пентефрию евнуху фараонову, архимагиру.
Now the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.
