Бытие 42
1 Видев же Иаков, яко купля есть (пшеницы) во Египте, рече сыном своим: почто не радите?
And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
2 Се, слышах, яко есть пшеница во Египте: идите тамо и купите нам мало пищи, да живи будем и не умрем.
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down thither and buy [grain] for us from thence, in order that we may live, and not die.
3 Идоша же братия Иосифовы десять купити пшеницы во Египет.
And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.
4 Вениамина же, брата Иосифова, не отпусти с братиею его, рече бо: да не когда случится (на пути) ему зло.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.
5 Приидоша же сынове Израилевы купити с приходящими: бяше бо глад в земли Ханаанстей.
So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 Иосиф же бяше князь земли: сей продаяше всем людем земли (тоя). Пришедше же братия Иосифовы, поклонишася ему лицем до земли.
And Joseph, he was the governor over the land — he it was that sold [the corn] to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.
7 Видев же Иосиф братию свою, позна: и отчуждашеся их, и глаголаше им жестоко, и рече им: откуду приидосте? Они же реша: от земли Ханаанския купити пищи.
And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.
8 Позна же Иосиф братию свою: они же не познаша его.
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they did not know him.
9 И помяну Иосиф сны своя, яже виде он: и рече им: соглядатаи есте, соглядати путий страны (сея) приидосте.
And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamt of them; and he said to them, Ye are spies: to see the exposed places of the land ye are come.
10 Они же реша: ни, господине, раби твои приидохом купити пищи:
And they said to him, No, my lord; but to buy food are thy servants come.
11 вси есмы сынове единаго человека: мирницы есмы, не суть раби твои соглядатаи.
We are all one man's sons; we are honest: thy servants are not spies.
12 Рече же им: ни, но пути земли (сея) приидосте соглядати.
And he said to them, No; but to see the exposed places of the land are ye come.
13 Они же реша: дванадесять есмы братия раби твои в земли Ханаани: и се, менший (от нас) со отцем нашим днесь, а другаго несть.
And they said, Thy servants were twelve brethren, sons of one man, in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
14 Рече же им Иосиф: сие есть, еже рекох вам, глаголя, яко соглядатаи есте:
And Joseph said to them, That is it that I have spoken to you, saying, Ye are spies.
15 в сем явитеся: тако ми здравия фараоня, не изыдете отсюду, аще брат ваш менший не приидет семо:
By this ye shall be put to the proof: as Pharaoh lives, ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither!
16 послите от себе единаго, и возмите брата вашего: вы же держими будите, дондеже яве будут словеса ваша, аще истинствуете, или ни: аще же ни, тако ми здравия фараоня, воистинну соглядатаи есте.
Send one of you, that he may fetch your brother, but ye shall be imprisoned, and your words shall be put to the proof, whether the truth is in you; and if not, as Pharaoh lives, ye are spies.
17 И даде я под стражу на три дни.
And he put them in custody three days.
18 Рече же им в день третий: сие сотворите, и живи будете: Бога бо аз боюся:
And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, that ye may live: I fear God.
19 аще мирницы есте, брат ваш да удержится един под стражею: сами же идите и отвезите купленую пшеницу вашу,
If ye are honest, let one of your brethren remain bound in the house of your prison, but go ye, carry grain for the hunger of your households;
20 и брата вашего меншаго приведите ко мне, и верна будут словеса ваша: аще же ни, умрете. И сотвориша тако.
and bring your youngest brother to me, in order that your words be verified, and that ye may not die. And they did so.
21 И рече кийждо к брату своему: ей, во гресех бо есмы брата ради нашего, яко презрехом скорбение души его, егда моляшеся нам, и не послушахом его: и сего ради прииде на ны скорбение сие.
Then they said one to another, We are indeed guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he besought us, and we did not hearken; therefore this distress is come upon us.
22 Отвещав же Рувим, рече им: не рех ли вам, глаголя: не преобидите детища? И не послушасте мене: и се, кровь его взыскуется.
And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the lad? But ye did not hearken; and now behold, his blood also is required.
23 Тии же не ведеша, яко разумеет Иосиф: толмачь бо между ими бяше.
And they did not know that Joseph understood, for the interpreter was between them.
24 Отвратився же от них, проплакася Иосиф: и паки прииде к ним и рече им. И поя Симеона от них, и связа его пред ними.
And he turned away from them, and wept. And he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 Повеле же Иосиф наполнити сосуды их пшеницы и возвратити сребро их комуждо во вретище свое и дати им брашно на путь. И бысть им тако.
And Joseph gave orders to fill their vessels with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way. And thus did they to them.
26 И возложивше пшеницу на ослы своя, отидоша оттуду.
And they loaded their asses with their grain, and departed thence.
27 Отрешив же един вретище свое дати пищу ослом своим, идеже сташа, и виде узол сребра своего, и бе верху устия вретищнаго.
And one of them opened his sack to give his ass food in the inn, and saw his money, and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 И рече братии своей: возвращено ми есть сребро, и се, сие во вретищи моем. И ужасеся сердце их: и возмятошася, друг ко другу глаголюще: что сие сотвори Бог нам?
And he said to his brethren, My money is returned [to me], and behold, it is even in my sack. And their heart failed [them], and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this [that] God has done to us?
29 Приидоша же ко Иакову, отцу своему, в землю Ханааню и поведаша ему вся случившаяся им, глаголюще:
And they came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
30 глагола муж господин земли (оныя) к нам жестоко и вверже нас в темницу, аки соглядаюших землю:
The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us, and treated us as spies of the land.
31 рехом же ему: мирницы есмы, несмы соглядатаи:
And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies:
32 дванадесять братия есмы, сынове отца нашего: единаго несть, а менший со отцем нашим днесь в земли Ханаани:
we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 рече же нам муж господин земли (тоя): по сему увем, яко мирницы есте: брата единаго оставите зде у мене, а купленую пшеницу дому вашему вземше отидите
And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, Hereby shall I know that ye are honest: leave one of your brethren with me, and take [for] the hunger of your households, and go,
34 и приведите ко мне брата вашего меншаго: и увем, яко не соглядатаи есте, но яко мирницы есте: и брата вашего отдам вам, и куплю творите в земли.
and bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that ye are not spies, but are honest. Your brother will I give up to you; and ye may trade in the land.
35 Бысть же егда испраздняху вретища своя, и бяше узол сребра во вретищи коегождо их: и видеша узлы сребра своего сами и отец их, и убояшася.
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man had his bundle of money in his sack; and they saw their bundles of money, they and their father, and were afraid.
36 Рече же им Иаков отец их: мене безчадна сотвористе: Иосифа несть, Симеона несть, и Вениамина ли поймете? На мя быша сия вся.
And Jacob their father said to them, Ye have bereaved me of children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin! All these things are against me.
37 Рече же Рувим отцу своему, глаголя: двоих сынов моих убий, аще не приведу его к тебе: даждь его в руце мои, и аз приведу его к тебе.
And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons if I bring him not back to thee: give him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
38 Он же рече: не пойдет сын мой с вами, яко брат его умре, и той един оста: и случится ему зло на пути, в оньже аще пойдете, и сведете старость мою с печалию во ад. (Sheol h7585)
But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left; and if mischief should befall him by the way in which ye go, then would ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
