¹

But the famine prevailed in the land.

¹

Гла́дъ же ѡ҆долѣ̀ на землѝ.

²

And it came to pass, when they had finished eating the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said to them, Go again; buy us a little food.

²

Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ сконча́ша пшени́цꙋ ꙗ҆дꙋ́ще, ю҆́же принесо́ша и҆з̾ є҆гѵ́пта: и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ ѻ҆те́цъ и҆́хъ: па́ки ше́дше кꙋпи́те на́мъ ма́лѡ пи́щи.

³

And Judas spoke to him, saying, The man, the lord of the country, positively testified to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.

³

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ꙋ́да, глаго́лѧ: клѧ́твою засвидѣ́телствова на́мъ мꙋ́жъ господи́нъ землѝ (тоѧ̀) глаго́лѧ: не оу҆́зрите лица̀ моегѡ̀, а҆́ще бра́тъ ва́шъ ме́ншїй не прїи́детъ съ ва́ми:

⁴

If, then, thou send our brother with us, we will go down, and buy thee food;

⁴

а҆́ще оу҆́бѡ по́слеши бра́та на́шего съ на́ми, по́йдемъ и҆ кꙋ́пимъ тебѣ̀ пи́щи:

⁵

but if thou send not our brother with us, we will not go: for the man spoke to us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, unless your younger brother be with you.

⁵

а҆́ще же не по́слеши бра́та на́шего съ на́ми, не по́йдемъ: мꙋ́жъ бо речѐ на́мъ, глаго́лѧ: не оу҆́зрите лица̀ моегѡ̀, а҆́ще бра́тъ ва́шъ ме́ншїй не прїи́детъ съ ва́ми.

⁶

And Israel said, Why did ye harm me, inasmuch as ye told the man that ye had a brother?

⁶

Рече́ же і҆и҃ль: почто̀ ѕло̀ сотвори́сте мѝ, повѣ́давше мꙋ́жꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆́сть ва́мъ бра́тъ;

⁷

And they said, The man closely questioned us about our family also, saying, Does your father yet live, and have ye a brother? and we answered him according to this question: did we know that he would say to us, Bring your brother?

⁷

Ѻ҆ни́ же рѣ́ша: вопроша́ѧ вопросѝ на́съ мꙋ́жъ и҆ ро́да на́шегѡ, глаго́лѧ: а҆́ще є҆щѐ ѻ҆те́цъ ва́шъ жи́въ є҆́сть, и҆ а҆́ще є҆́сть ва́мъ бра́тъ; и҆ повѣ́дахомъ є҆мꙋ̀ по вопро́сꙋ семꙋ̀: є҆да̀ вѣ́дѣхомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рече́тъ на́мъ: приведи́те бра́та ва́шего;

⁸

And Judas said to his father Israel, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and thou, and our store.

⁸

Рече́ же і҆ꙋ́да ко і҆и҃лю, ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀: ѿпꙋстѝ ѻ҆́трочища со мно́ю: и҆ воста́вше по́йдемъ, да жи́ви бꙋ́демъ и҆ не оу҆́мремъ, и҆ мы̀ и҆ ты̀ и҆ и҆мѣ́нїе на́ше:

⁹

And I engage for him; at my hand do thou require him; if I bring him not to thee, and place him before thee, I shall be guilty toward thee for ever.

⁹

а҆́зъ же возмꙋ̀ є҆го̀: ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ моє́ю взыщѝ є҆го̀: а҆́ще не приведꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ къ тебѣ̀, и҆ поста́влю є҆го̀ пред̾ тобо́ю, грѣ́шенъ бꙋ́дꙋ къ тебѣ̀ всѧ̑ дни̑:

¹⁰

For if we had not tarried, we should now have returned twice.

¹⁰

а҆́ще бо бы́хомъ не оу҆ме́длили, оу҆жѐ возврати́лисѧ бы два́жды.

¹¹

And Israel, their father, said to them, If it be so, do this; take of the fruits of the earth in your vessels, and carry down to the man presents of gum and honey, and frankincense, and stacte, and turpentine, and walnuts.

¹¹

Рече́ же и҆̀мъ і҆и҃ль ѻ҆те́цъ и҆́хъ: а҆́ще та́кѡ є҆́сть, сїѐ сотвори́те: возми́те ѿ плодѡ́въ земны́хъ въ сосꙋ́ды своѧ̑ и҆ донеси́те человѣ́кꙋ да́ры, риті́нꙋ [тꙋ́къ масти́тый и҆з̾ дре́ва текꙋ́щїй], ме́дъ, ѳѷмїа́ма же и҆ ста́кти, и҆ тереві́нѳъ и҆ ѻ҆рѣ́хи:

¹²

And take double money in your hands, and the money that was returned in your sacks, carry back with you, lest peradventure it is a mistake.

¹²

и҆ сребро̀ сꙋгꙋ́бо возми́те въ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ, и҆ сребро̀ ѡ҆брѣ́тенное во вре́тищахъ ва́шихъ возврати́те съ собо́ю, да не ка́кѡ невѣ́дѣнїе є҆́сть:

¹³

And take your brother; and arise, go down to the man.

¹³

и҆ бра́та своего̀ поими́те, и҆ воста́вше и҆ди́те къ мꙋ́жꙋ:

¹⁴

And my God give you favour in the sight of the man, and send away your other brother, and Benjamin, for I accordingly as I have been bereaved, am bereaved.

¹⁴

бг҃ъ же мо́й да да́стъ ва́мъ блгⷣть пред̾ мꙋ́жемъ и҆ ѿпꙋ́ститъ бра́та ва́шего є҆ди́наго, и҆ венїамі́на: а҆́зъ бо ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆безча́дѣхъ, ѡ҆безча́дѣхъ.

¹⁵

And the men having taken these presents, and the double money, took in their hands also Benjamin; and they rose up and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

¹⁵

Взе́мше же мꙋ́жїе да́ры сїѧ̑, и҆ сребро̀ сꙋгꙋ́бое взѧ́ша въ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ, и҆ венїамі́на: и҆ воста́вше прїидо́ша во є҆гѵ́петъ, и҆ ста́ша пред̾ і҆ѡ́сифомъ.

¹⁶

And Joseph saw them and his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said to the steward of his household, Bring the men into the house, and slay beasts and make ready, for the men are to eat bread with me at noon.

¹⁶

Ви́дѣ же и҆̀хъ і҆ѡ́сифъ, и҆ венїамі́на бра́та своего̀ є҆динома́тернѧ, и҆ речѐ строи́телю до́мꙋ своегѡ̀: введѝ мꙋ́жы (сїѧ̑) въ до́мъ, и҆ заколѝ ѿ скота̀, и҆ оу҆гото́вай: со мно́ю бо ꙗ҆́сти и҆́мꙋтъ мꙋ́жїе (сі́и) хлѣ́бъ въ полꙋ́дне.

¹⁷

And the man did as Joseph said; and he brought the men into the house of Joseph.

¹⁷

Сотвори́ же человѣ́къ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ і҆ѡ́сифъ, и҆ введѐ мꙋ́жы въ до́мъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ.

¹⁸

And the men, when they perceived that they were brought into the house of Joseph, said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first; even in order to inform against us, and lay it to our charge; to take us for servants, and our asses.

¹⁸

Ви́дѣвше же мꙋ́жїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ введо́ша и҆̀хъ въ до́мъ і҆ѡ́сифовъ, рѣ́ша: сребра̀ ра́ди возвраще́ннагѡ во вре́тищахъ на́шихъ пе́рвѣе, вво́дѧтъ ны̀, є҆́же бы ѡ҆клевета́ти на́съ и҆ нанестѝ на ны̀, да по́ймꙋтъ на́съ въ рабы̑, и҆ ѻ҆слы̀ на́шѧ.

¹⁹

And having approached the man who was over the house of Joseph, they spoke to him in the porch of the house,

¹⁹

Пристꙋпи́вше же къ человѣ́кꙋ сꙋ́щемꙋ над̾ до́момъ і҆ѡ́сифовымъ, реко́ша є҆мꙋ̀ при вратѣ́хъ до́мꙋ,

²⁰

saying, We pray thee, Sir; we came down at first to buy food.

²⁰

глаго́люще: мо́лимъ тѧ̀, господи́не: прїидо́хомъ пе́рвѣе кꙋпи́ти пи́щи:

²¹

And it came to pass, when we came to unlade, and opened our sacks, there was also this money of each in his sack; we have now brought back our money by weight in our hands.

²¹

бы́сть же є҆гда̀ прїидо́хомъ на ста́нъ и҆ ѿрѣши́хомъ врє́тища своѧ̑, и҆ сѐ, сребро̀ коегѡ́ждо во вре́тищи є҆гѡ̀: то́е сребро̀ на́ше вѣ́сомъ возврати́хомъ нн҃ѣ рꙋка́ми на́шими:

²²

And we have brought other money with us to buy food; we know not who put the money into our sacks.

²²

и҆ сребро̀ дрꙋго́е принесо́хомъ съ собо́ю кꙋпи́ти пи́щи: не вѣ́мы, кто̀ вложѝ сребро̀ во врє́тища на̑ша.

²³

And he said to them, God deal mercifully with you; be not afraid; your God, and the God of your fathers, has given you treasures in your sacks, and I have enough of your good money. And he brought Symeon out to them.

²³

Рече́ же и҆̀мъ: ми́ръ ва́мъ, не бо́йтесѧ: бг҃ъ ва́шъ и҆ бг҃ъ ѻ҆тє́цъ ва́шихъ дадѐ ва́мъ сокрѡ́вища во вре́тищахъ ва́шихъ: а҆ сребро̀ ва́ше за прїѧ́тое и҆мѣ́ю. И҆ и҆зведѐ къ ни̑мъ сѷмеѡ́на:

²⁴

And he brought water to wash their feet; and gave provender to their asses.

²⁴

и҆ принесѐ во́дꙋ ѡ҆мы́ти но́зѣ и҆̀мъ, и҆ дадѐ па̑жити ѻ҆слѡ́мъ и҆́хъ.

²⁵

And they prepared their gifts, until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that he was going to dine there.

²⁵

Оу҆гото́ваша же да́ры, до́ндеже прїи́детъ і҆ѡ́сифъ въ полꙋ́дне: слы́шаша бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ та́мѡ и҆́мать ѡ҆бѣ́дати.

²⁶

And Joseph entered into the house, and they brought him the gifts which they had in their hands, into the house; and they did him reverence with their face to the ground.

²⁶

Прїи́де же і҆ѡ́сифъ въ до́мъ: и҆ принесо́ша є҆мꙋ̀ да́ры, ꙗ҆̀же и҆мѧ́хꙋ въ рꙋка́хъ свои́хъ, въ до́мъ: и҆ поклони́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ лице́мъ до землѝ.

²⁷

And he asked them, How are ye? and he said to them, Is your father, the old man of whom ye spoke, well? Does he yet live?

²⁷

И҆ вопросѝ и҆̀хъ: здра́ви ли є҆стѐ; И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: здра́въ ли є҆́сть ѻ҆те́цъ ва́шъ, ста́рецъ, є҆го́же реко́сте, є҆ще́ ли жи́въ є҆́сть;

²⁸

And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And he said, Blessed be that man by God;—and they bowed, and did him reverence.

²⁸

Ѻ҆ни́ же реко́ша: здра́въ є҆́сть ра́бъ тво́й, ѻ҆те́цъ на́шъ, є҆щѐ жи́въ є҆́сть. И҆ речѐ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ человѣ́къ ѻ҆́ный бг҃ꙋ. И҆ прини́кше поклони́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

²⁹

And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, born of the same mother; and he said, Is this your younger brother, whom ye spoke of bringing to me? and he said, God have mercy on thee, my son.

²⁹

Воззрѣ́въ же ѻ҆чи́ма свои́ма і҆ѡ́сифъ, ви́дѣ венїамі́на бра́та своего̀ є҆динома́тернѧ и҆ речѐ: се́й ли є҆́сть бра́тъ ва́шъ ю҆нѣ́йшїй, є҆го́же реко́сте ко мнѣ̀ привестѝ; И҆ речѐ: бг҃ъ да поми́лꙋетъ тѧ̀, ча́до.

³⁰

And Joseph was troubled, for his bowels yearned over his brother, and he sought to weep; and he went into his chamber, and wept there.

³⁰

Возмꙋти́сѧ же і҆ѡ́сифъ: подви́жесѧ бо оу҆тро́ба є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆ бра́тѣ свое́мъ, и҆ и҆ска́ше пла́кати: вше́дъ же въ ло́жницꙋ, пла́касѧ та́мѡ.

³¹

And he washed his face and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

³¹

И҆ оу҆мы́въ лицѐ, и҆зше́дъ оу҆держа́сѧ и҆ речѐ: предложи́те хлѣ́бы.

³²

And they set on bread for him alone, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians feasting with him by themselves, for the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians.

³²

И҆ предложи́ша є҆мꙋ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ, и҆ ѡ҆́нымъ ѻ҆со́бнѡ, и҆ є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ, и҆̀же съ ни́мъ ꙗ҆дѧ́хꙋ, ѻ҆со́бнѡ: не можа́хꙋ бо є҆гѵ́птѧне ꙗ҆́сти хлѣ́ба со є҆врє́и: ме́рзость бо є҆́сть є҆гѵ́птѧнѡмъ (*всѧ́къ пастꙋ́хъ ѻ҆́вчїй).

³³

And they sat before him, the first-born according to his seniority, and the younger according to his youth; and the men looked with amazement every one at his brother.

³³

Сѣдо́ша же прѧ́мѡ є҆мꙋ̀ пе́рвенецъ по старѣ́йшинствꙋ своемꙋ̀ и҆ ме́ншїй по ме́ншествꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ дивлѧ́хꙋсѧ мꙋ́жїе кі́йждо ко бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀:

³⁴

And they took their portions from him to themselves; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as the portions of the others. And they drank and were filled with drink with him.

³⁴

и҆ взѧ́ша ча̑сти ѿ негѡ̀ къ себѣ̀: вѧ́щшаѧ же бы́сть ча́сть венїамі́нова па́че всѣ́хъ часте́й пѧтери́цею, не́же ѻ҆́ныхъ: пи́ша же и҆ оу҆пи́шасѧ съ ни́мъ.
