Genesis 49
1 Then Jacob called his sons, and he said to them: “Gather together, so that I may announce what will happen to you in the last days.
Призва же Иаков сыны своя и рече им: соберитеся, да возвещу вам, что срящет вас в последния дни:
2 Gather together and listen, O sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
соберитеся и послушайте мене, сынове Иаковли, послушайте Израиля, послушайте отца вашего.
3 Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my sorrow: first in gifts, greater in authority.
Рувим, первенец мой, ты крепость моя и начало чад моих: жесток терпети и жесток упорник:
4 You are being poured out like water, may you not increase. For you climbed onto your father’s bed, and you defiled his resting place.
досадил еси яко вода, да не воскипиши: возшел бо еси на ложе отца твоего, тогда осквернил еси постелю, идеже возшел еси.
5 The brothers Simeon and Levi: vessels of iniquity waging war.
Симеон и Левий братия совершиста обиду от воли своея:
6 Let not my soul go by their counsel, nor my glory be within their meeting. For in their fury they killed a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall.
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 Cursed be their fury, because it was obstinate, and their indignation, because it was harsh. I will divide them in Jacob, and I will scatter them in Israel.
проклята ярость их, яко упорна, и гнев их, яко ожесточися: разделю их во Иакове и разсею их во Израили.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be at the necks of your enemies; the sons of your father will reverence you.
Иудо, тебе похвалят братия твоя, руце твои на плещу враг твоих: поклонятся тебе сынове отца твоего:
9 Judah is a lion’s young. You have gone up to the prey, my son. While resting, you have lain like a lion. And just like a lioness, who would rouse him?
скимен львов Иуда: от леторасли, сыне мой, возшел еси: возлег уснул еси яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его?
10 The scepter from Judah and the leader from his thigh will not be taken away, until he who will be sent arrives, and he will be the expectation of Gentiles.
Не оскудеет князь от Иуды и вождь от чресл его, дондеже приидут отложеная Ему, и Той чаяние языков:
11 Tying his young colt to the vineyard, and his donkey, O my son, to the vine, he will wash his robe in wine, and his cloak in the blood of the grape.
привязуяй к лозе жребя свое и к винничию жребца осляте своего, исперет вином одежду свою и кровию гроздия одеяние свое:
12 His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
радостотворны очи его паче вина, и белы зубы его паче млека.
13 Zebulun will live at the seashore and by the outpost of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
Завулон при мори вселится, и той на пристанищи кораблей, и прострется даже до Сидона.
14 Issachar will be a strong donkey, reclining between the borders.
Иссахар доброе возжела, почивая посреде пределов,
15 He saw that rest would be good, and that the land was excellent. And so he bent his shoulder to carry, and he became a servant under tribute.
и видев покой, яко добр, и землю, яко тучна, подложи рамы свои на труд, и бысть муж земледелец.
16 Dan will judge his people just like any other tribe in Israel.
Дан судити имать люди своя, яко и едино племя во Израили,
17 Let Dan be a snake in the way, a viper in the path, biting the hooves of horses, so that his rider may fall backward.
и да будет Дан змий на пути, седяй на распутии, угрызая пяту конску:
18 I will wait for your salvation, O Lord.
и падет конник вспять, спасения ждый Господня.
19 Gad, being girded, will fight before him. And he himself will be girded backward.
Гад, искушение искусит его: он же искусит того при ногах.
20 Asher: his bread will be fat, and he will provide delicacies to the kings.
Асир, тучен его хлеб, и той даст пищу князем.
21 Naphtali is a stag sent forth, offering words of eloquent beauty.
Неффалим стебль распущающаяся, издаяй во отрасли доброту.
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and stately to behold; the daughters run back and forth on the wall.
Сын возращен Иосиф, сын возращен мой ревностный, сын мой юнейший, ко мне обратися:
23 But those who held darts, provoked him, and they contend with him, and they envied him.
на негоже советующе укоряху и наляцаху нань господие стреляний,
24 His bow sits in strength, and the bands of his arms and hands have been let loose by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob. From there he went forth as a pastor, the stone of Israel.
и сотрошася с крепостию луки их, и разслабеша жилы мышцей рук их, рукою сильнаго Иакова: оттуду укрепися Израиль от Бога отца твоего,
25 The God of your father will be your helper, and the Almighty will bless you with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the abyss that lies beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
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 of your father are strengthened by the blessings of his fathers, until the desire of the hills of eternity shall arrive. May they be at the head of Joseph, and at the summit of the Nazarite, among his brothers.
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 is a ravenous wolf, in the morning he will eat the prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil.”
Вениамин волк хищник, рано яст еще и на вечер дает пищу.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. These things their father spoke to them, and he blessed each one with their proper blessings.
Вси сии сынове Иаковли дванадесять: и сия глагола им отец их, и благослови их: коегождо по благословению его благослови их,
29 And he instructed them, saying: “I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
и рече им: аз прилагаюся к людем моим: погребите мя со отцы моими в пещере, яже есть в селе Ефрона Хеттеанина,
30 opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought, along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial.
в пещере Сугубей, яже прямо Мамврии в земли Ханаани, юже стяжа Авраам пещеру у Ефрона Хеттеанина в стяжание гроба.
31 There they buried him, with his wife Sarah.” And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved.
Тамо погребоша Авраама и Сарру жену его, тамо погребоша Исаака и Ревекку жену его, тамо погребоша Лию,
в стяжании села и пещеры, яже есть в нем у сынов Хеттеовых.
33 And having finished these commands by which he instructed his sons, he drew his feet onto the bed, and he passed away. And he was gathered to his people.
И преста Иаков завещая сыном своим, и возложив Иаков нозе свои на одр умре, и приложися к людем своим.
