¹

And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father sojourned, in the land of Chanaan.

¹

Всели́сѧ же і҆а́кѡвъ въ землѝ, и҆дѣ́же ѡ҆бита̀ і҆саа́къ, ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀, въ землѝ ханаа́ни.

²

And these are the generations of Jacob. And Joseph was seventeen years old, feeding the sheep of his father with his brethren, being young; with the sons of Balla, and with the sons of Zelpha, the wives of his father; and Joseph brought to Israel their father their evil reproach.

²

Сі́и же ро́ди і҆а̑кѡвли. І҆ѡ́сифъ же бѧ́ше седмина́десѧти лѣ́тъ, пасы́й ѻ҆́вцы ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ съ бра́тїею свое́ю, ю҆́нъ сы́й, съ сынмѝ ва́ллы и҆ съ сынмѝ зе́лфы, же́нъ ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀: нанесо́ша же на і҆ѡ́сифа ѕлꙋ̀ клеветꙋ̀ ко і҆и҃лю ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀.

³

And Jacob loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was to him the son of old age; and he made for him a coat of many colours.

³

І҆а́кѡвъ же люблѧ́ше і҆ѡ́сифа па́че всѣ́хъ сынѡ́въ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сы́нъ въ ста́рости є҆мꙋ̀ бы́сть: и҆ сотворѝ є҆мꙋ̀ ри́зꙋ пе́стрꙋ.

⁴

And his brethren having seen that his father loved him more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak anything peaceable to him.

⁴

Ви́дѣвше же бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́битъ є҆го̀ ѻ҆те́цъ па́че всѣ́хъ сынѡ́въ свои́хъ, возненави́дѣша є҆го̀ и҆ не можа́хꙋ глаго́лати къ немꙋ̀ ничто́же ми́рно.

⁵

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and reported it to his brethren.

⁵

Ви́дѣвъ же і҆ѡ́сифъ со́нъ, повѣ́да и҆̀ бра́тїи свое́й

⁶

And he said to them, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.

⁶

и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: послꙋ́шайте сна̀ сегѡ̀, є҆го́же ви́дѣхъ:

⁷

I thought ye were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and my sheaf stood up and was erected, and your sheaves turned round, and did obeisance to my sheaf.

⁷

мнѣ́хъ ва́съ вѧ́жꙋщихъ снопы̀ средѣ̀ по́лѧ: и҆ воста̀ мо́й сно́пъ и҆ ста̀ прѧ́мѡ, ва́ши же снопы̀ ѡ҆брати́вшесѧ поклони́шасѧ моемꙋ̀ снопꙋ̀.

⁸

And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us, or shalt thou indeed be lord over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.

⁸

Рѣ́ша же є҆мꙋ̀ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀: є҆да̀ ца́рствꙋѧ ца́рствовати бꙋ́деши над̾ на́ми, и҆лѝ госпо́дствꙋѧ госпо́дствовати бꙋ́деши над̾ на́ми; И҆ приложи́ша є҆щѐ ненави́дѣти є҆го̀ снѡ́въ ра́ди є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ра́ди слове́съ є҆гѡ̀.

⁹

And he dreamed another dream, and related it to his father, and to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: as it were the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars did me reverence.

⁹

Ви́дѣ же со́нъ дрꙋгі́й и҆ повѣ́да є҆го̀ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ бра́тїи свое́й, и҆ речѐ: сѐ, ви́дѣхъ дрꙋгі́й со́нъ: а҆́ки бы со́лнце и҆ лꙋна̀ и҆ є҆динона́десѧть ѕвѣ́здъ покланѧ́хꙋсѧ мнѣ̀.

¹⁰

And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamed? shall indeed both I and thy mother and thy brethren come and bow before thee to the earth?

¹⁰

И҆ запретѝ є҆мꙋ̀ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: что̀ со́нъ се́й, є҆го́же є҆сѝ ви́дѣлъ; є҆да̀ прише́дше прїи́демъ а҆́зъ и҆ ма́ти твоѧ̀ и҆ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ поклони́тисѧ тебѣ̀ до землѝ;

¹¹

And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

¹¹

Позави́дѣша же є҆мꙋ̀ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀: ѻ҆те́цъ же є҆гѡ̀ соблюдѐ сло́во сїѐ.

¹²

And his brethren went to feed the sheep of their father to Sychem.

¹²

Ѿидо́ша же бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ пастѝ ѻ҆́вцы ѻ҆тца̀ своегѡ̀ въ сѷхе́мъ.

¹³

And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed their flock in Sychem? Come, I will send thee to them; and he said to him, Behold, I am here.

¹³

И҆ речѐ і҆и҃ль ко і҆ѡ́сифꙋ: є҆да̀ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ не пасꙋ́тъ въ сѷхе́мѣ; грѧдѝ, да послю́ тѧ къ ни̑мъ. Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀: сѐ, а҆́зъ.

¹⁴

And Israel said to him, Go and see if thy brethren and the sheep are well, and bring me word; and he sent him out of the valley of Chebron, and he came to Sychem.

¹⁴

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆и҃ль: ше́дъ, ви́ждь, а҆́ще здра́вствꙋютъ бра́тїѧ твоѧ̑ и҆ ѻ҆́вцы, и҆ повѣ́ждь мѝ. И҆ посла̀ є҆го̀ ѿ ю҆до́ли хеврѡ́ни. И҆ прїи́де въ сѷхе́мъ:

¹⁵

And a man found him wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

¹⁵

и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те є҆го̀ человѣ́къ заблꙋжда́юща на по́ли: вопроси́ же є҆го̀ человѣ́къ глаго́лѧ: чесогѡ̀ и҆́щеши;

¹⁶

And he said, I am seeking my brethren; tell me where they feed their flocks.

¹⁶

Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: бра́тїи моеѧ̀ и҆щꙋ̀: повѣ́ждь мѝ, гдѣ̀ пасꙋ́тъ.

¹⁷

And the man said to him, They have departed hence, for I heard them saying, Let us go to Dothaim; and Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothaim.

¹⁷

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ человѣ́къ: ѿидо́ша ѿсю́дꙋ: слы́шахъ бо и҆̀хъ глаго́лющихъ: по́йдемъ въ дѡѳаі́мъ. И҆ и҆́де і҆ѡ́сифъ в̾слѣ́дъ бра́тїи своеѧ̀ и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те ѧ҆̀ въ дѡѳаі́мѣ.

¹⁸

And they spied him from a distance before he drew nigh to them, and they wickedly took counsel to slay him.

¹⁸

Пред̾ꙋзрѣ́ша же є҆го̀ и҆здале́че, пре́жде приближе́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ къ ни̑мъ, и҆ ѕлѣ̀ оу҆мы́слиша оу҆би́ти є҆го̀:

¹⁹

And each said to his brother, Behold, that dreamer comes.

¹⁹

рече́ же кі́йждо къ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀: сѐ, снови́децъ ѻ҆́ный и҆́детъ:

²⁰

Now then come, let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil wild beast has devoured him; and we shall see what his dreams will be.

²⁰

нн҃ѣ оу҆̀бо прїиди́те, оу҆бїе́мъ є҆го̀ и҆ вве́ржимъ є҆го̀ во є҆ди́нъ ѿ рвѡ́въ, и҆ рече́мъ: ѕвѣ́рь лю́тъ снѣдѐ є҆го̀: и҆ оу҆́зримъ, что̀ бꙋ́дꙋтъ сѡ́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀.

²¹

And Ruben having heard it, rescued him out of their hands, and said, Let us not kill him.

²¹

Слы́шавъ же рꙋви́мъ, ѿѧ̀ є҆го̀ и҆з̾ рꙋ́къ и҆́хъ и҆ речѐ: не оу҆бїе́мъ є҆го̀ на дꙋшѝ.

²²

And Ruben said to them, Shed not blood; cast him into one of these pits in the wilderness, but do not lay your hand upon him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and restore him to his father.

²²

Рече́ же и҆̀мъ рꙋви́мъ: не пролі́йте кро́ве, вве́рзите є҆го̀ во є҆ди́нъ ѿ рвѡ́въ си́хъ, и҆̀же въ пꙋсты́ни, рꙋки́ же не возложи́те на него̀: (тща́шесѧ бо) ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆зы́метъ є҆го̀ ѿ рꙋ́къ и҆́хъ и҆ ѿда́стъ є҆го̀ ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀.

²³

And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his many-coloured coat that was upon him.

²³

Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ прїи́де і҆ѡ́сифъ къ бра́тїи свое́й, совлеко́ша со і҆ѡ́сифа ри́зꙋ пе́стрꙋю, ꙗ҆́же на не́мъ,

²⁴

And they took him and cast him into the pit; and the pit was empty, it had not water.

²⁴

и҆ пое́мше є҆го̀ вверго́ша въ ро́въ: ро́въ же то́щь, воды̀ не и҆мѧ́ше.

²⁵

And they sat down to eat bread; and having lifted up their eyes they beheld, and lo, Ismaelitish travellers came from Galaad, and their camels were heavily loaded with spices, and resin, and myrrh; and they went to bring them to Egypt.

²⁵

И҆ сѣдо́ша ꙗ҆́сти хлѣ́бъ, и҆ воззрѣ́вше ѻ҆чи́ма ви́дѣша, и҆ сѐ, пꙋ̑тницы і҆сма́илтѧне и҆дѧ́хꙋ ѿ галаа́да, и҆ велблю́ды и҆́хъ пѡ́лны ѳѷмїа́ма и҆ риті́ны [тꙋ́къ масти́тый и҆з̾ дрѣ́ва текꙋ́щїй] и҆ ста́кти: и҆дѧ́хꙋ же везꙋ́ще во є҆гѵ́петъ.

²⁶

And Judas said to his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

²⁶

Рече́ же і҆ꙋ́да ко бра́тїи свое́й: ка́ѧ по́льза, а҆́ще оу҆бїе́мъ бра́та на́шего и҆ скры́емъ кро́вь є҆гѡ̀;

²⁷

Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let not our hands be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren hearkened.

²⁷

грѧди́те продади́мъ є҆го̀ і҆сма́илтѧнѡмъ си̑мъ: рꙋ́цѣ же на́ши да не бꙋ́дꙋтъ на не́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бра́тъ на́шъ и҆ пло́ть на́ша є҆́сть. Послꙋ́шаша же бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀.

²⁸

And the men, the merchants of Madian, went by, and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ismaelites for twenty pieces of gold; and they brought Joseph down into Egypt.

²⁸

И҆ мимоидо́ша человѣ́цы мадїа́мстїи кꙋпцы̀: и҆ и҆звлеко́ша и҆ возведо́ша і҆ѡ́сифа и҆з̾ ро́ва, и҆ прода́ша і҆ѡ́сифа і҆сма́илтѧнѡмъ на два́десѧть златни́цъ. И҆ поведо́ша і҆ѡ́сифа во є҆гѵ́петъ.

²⁹

And Ruben returned to the pit, and sees not Joseph in the pit; and he rent his garments.

²⁹

Возврати́сѧ же рꙋви́мъ къ ро́вꙋ и҆ не оу҆зрѣ̀ і҆ѡ́сифа въ ро́вѣ: и҆ растерза̀ ри̑зы своѧ̑,

³⁰

And he returned to his brethren and said, The boy is not; and I, whither am I yet to go?

³⁰

и҆ прїи́де ко бра́тїи свое́й и҆ речѐ: ѻ҆́трочища нѣ́сть, а҆́зъ же ка́мѡ и҆дꙋ̀ ктомꙋ̀;

³¹

And having taken the coat of Joseph, they slew a kid of the goats, and stained the coat with the blood.

³¹

Взе́мше же ри́зꙋ і҆ѡ́сифовꙋ, закла́ша ко́злище ѿ ко́зъ и҆ пома́заша ри́зꙋ кро́вїю:

³²

And they sent the coat of many colours; and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found; know if it be thy son's coat or no.

³²

и҆ посла́ша ри́зꙋ пе́стрꙋю, и҆ принесо́ша ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀ и҆ реко́ша: сїю̀ ѡ҆брѣто́хомъ: познава́й, а҆́ще ри́за сы́на твоегѡ̀ є҆́сть, и҆лѝ нѝ;

³³

And he recognised it, and said, It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast has devoured him; a wild beast has carried off Joseph.

³³

И҆ позна̀ ю҆̀ и҆ речѐ: ри́за сы́на моегѡ̀ є҆́сть: ѕвѣ́рь лю́тъ снѣдѐ є҆го̀: ѕвѣ́рь восхи́ти і҆ѡ́сифа.

³⁴

And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

³⁴

И҆ растерза̀ і҆а́кѡвъ ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ возложѝ вре́тище на чрє́сла своѧ̑, и҆ пла́кашесѧ сы́на своегѡ̀ дни̑ мнѡ́ги.

³⁵

And all his sons and his daughters gathered themselves together, and came to comfort him; but he would not be comforted, saying, I will go down to my son mourning to Hades; and his father wept for him.

³⁵

Собра́шасѧ же всѝ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀ и҆ дщє́ри и҆ прїидо́ша оу҆тѣ́шити є҆го̀: и҆ не хотѧ́ше оу҆тѣ́шитисѧ, глаго́лѧ: ꙗ҆́кѡ сни́дꙋ къ сы́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ сѣ́тꙋѧ во а҆́дъ. И҆ пла́касѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ ѻ҆те́цъ є҆гѡ̀.

³⁶

And the Madianites sold Joseph into Egypt; to Petephres, the eunuch of Pharao, captain of the guard.

³⁶

Мадїа́не же прода́ша і҆ѡ́сифа во є҆гѵ́петъ пентефрі́ю є҆ѵнꙋ́хꙋ фараѡ́новꙋ, а҆рхїмагі́рꙋ.
