¹

And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Joseph, Behold, thy father is ill; and, having taken his two sons, Manasse and Ephraim, he came to Jacob.

¹

Бы́сть же по глаго́лѣхъ си́хъ, и повѣ́дано бы́сть Іо́сифу, я́ко оте́цъ тво́й изнемога́єтъ: и пои́мъ два́ сы́на своя́, Манассі́ю и Єфре́ма, пріи́де ко Іа́кову.

²

And it was reported to Jacob, saying, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh to thee; and Israel having strengthened himself, sat upon the bed.

²

Повѣ́даша же Іа́кову, глаго́люще: се́, сы́нъ тво́й Іо́сифъ гряде́тъ къ тебѣ́. И укрѣпи́вся Ізра́иль сѣ́де на одрѣ́,

³

And Jacob said to Joseph, My God appeared to me in Luza, in the land of Chanaan, and blessed me,

³

и рече́ Іа́ковъ ко Іо́сифу: Бо́гъ мо́й яви́ся мнѣ́ въ Лу́зѣ, въ земли́ Ханаа́ни, и благослови́ мя

⁴

and said to me, Behold, I will increase thee, and multiply thee, and will make of thee multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee, for an everlasting possession.

⁴

и рече́ ми: се́, А́зъ возращу́ тя и умно́жу тя́, и сотворю́ тя въ собра́нія язы́ковъ: и да́мъ ти́ зе́млю сію́ и сѣ́мени твоєму́ по тебѣ́ во одержа́ніє вѣ́чноє.

⁵

Now then thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse, as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine.

⁵

Ны́нѣ у́бо два́ сы́на твоя́, и́же бы́ша тебѣ́ въ земли́ Єги́петстѣй пре́жде прише́ствія моєго́ къ тебѣ́ во Єги́петъ, мои́ су́ть: Єфре́мъ и Манассі́а, а́ки Руви́мъ и Симео́нъ бу́дутъ мнѣ́:

⁶

And the children which thou shalt beget hereafter, shall be in the name of their brethren; they shall be named after their inheritances.

⁶

сы́ны же, я́же а́ще роди́ши по си́хъ, бу́дутъ тебѣ́: во и́мя бра́тіи своєя́ призову́тся ко жре́біямъ о́ныхъ:

⁷

And as for me, when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, thy mother, died in the land of Chanaan, as I drew nigh to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land of Chanaan, so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem.

⁷

а́зъ же єгда́ идя́хъ от Месопота́міи Си́рскія, у́мре Рахи́ль ма́ти твоя́ въ земли́ Ханаа́ни, приближа́ющуся ми́ ко іпподро́му Хавра́ѳы земли́, є́же пріити́ во Єфра́ѳу: и погребо́хъ ю́ на пути́ іпподро́ма: се́й є́сть Виѳлеє́мъ.

⁸

And when Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he said, Who are these to thee?

⁸

Ви́дѣвъ же Ізра́иль сы́ны Іо́сифовы, рече́: что́ тебѣ́ сі́и?

⁹

And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God gave me here; and Jacob said, Bring me them, that I may bless them.

⁹

Рече́ же Іо́сифъ отцу́ своєму́: сы́нове мои́ су́ть, я́же даде́ ми Бо́гъ здѣ́. И рече́ Іа́ковъ: приведи́ ми я́, да благословлю́ и́хъ.

¹⁰

Now the eyes of Israel were dim through age, and he could not see; and he brought them near to him, and he kissed them, and embraced them.

¹⁰

О́чи же Ізра́илю тя́жко ви́дѣста от ста́рости, и не можа́ше ви́дѣти: и прибли́жи и́хъ къ нему́, и лобза́ и́хъ, и объя́тъ я́.

¹¹

And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I have not been deprived of seeing thy face, and lo! God has showed me thy seed also.

¹¹

И рече́ Ізра́иль ко Іо́сифу: се́, лица́ твоєго́ не лиши́хся, и се́, показа́ ми Бо́гъ и сѣ́мя твоє́.

¹²

And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and they did reverence to him, with their face to the ground.

¹²

И отведе́ и́хъ Іо́сифъ от колѣ́нъ єго́, и поклони́шася єму́ лице́мъ до земли́.

¹³

And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to him.

¹³

Пои́мъ же Іо́сифъ два́ сы́на своя́, Єфре́ма въ десни́цу, пря́мо лѣви́цы Ізра́иля, Манассі́ю же въ лѣ́вую, пря́мо десни́цы Ізра́илевы, прибли́жи и́хъ къ нему́.

¹⁴

But Israel having stretched out his right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, guiding his hands crosswise.

¹⁴

Просте́ръ же Ізра́иль ру́ку десну́ю, возложи́ на главу́ Єфре́млю, се́й же бя́ше ме́ншій, а лѣ́вую на главу́ Манассі́ину, премѣни́въ ру́цѣ,

¹⁵

And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, even Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day;

¹⁵

и благослови́ я́ и рече́: Бо́гъ, Єму́же благоугоди́ша отцы́ мои́ предъ ни́мъ, Авраа́мъ и Ісаа́къ, Бо́гъ, И́же пита́єтъ мя́ измла́да да́же до дне́ сего́,

¹⁶

the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.

¹⁶

А́нгелъ, и́же мя́ избавля́єтъ от всѣ́хъ зо́лъ, да благослови́тъ дѣ́тища сія́, и прозове́тся въ ни́хъ и́мя моє́, и и́мя оте́цъ мои́хъ, Авраа́ма и Ісаа́ка, и да умно́жатся во мно́жество мно́гоє на земли́.

¹⁷

And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim—it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse.

¹⁷

Ви́дѣвъ же Іо́сифъ, я́ко возложи́ оте́цъ єго́ ру́ку десну́ю свою́ на главу́ Єфре́млю, тя́жко єму́ яви́ся: и прія́ Іо́сифъ ру́ку отца́ своєго́ отъя́ти ю́ от главы́ Єфре́мли на главу́ Манассі́ину,

¹⁸

And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy right-hand upon his head.

¹⁸

и рече́ Іо́сифъ отцу́ своєму́: не та́ко, о́тче: се́й бо [є́сть] пе́рвенецъ, возложи́ ру́ку десну́ю твою́ на главу́ єго́.

¹⁹

And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

¹⁹

И не хотя́ше, но рече́: вѣ́мъ, ча́до, вѣ́мъ: и се́й бу́детъ въ лю́ди, и се́й вознесе́тся: но бра́тъ єго́ ме́ншій бо́лій єго́ бу́детъ, и сѣ́мя єго́ бу́детъ во мно́жество язы́ковъ.

²⁰

And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse.

²⁰

И благослови́ я́ въ то́мъ дни́, глаго́ля: въ ва́съ благослови́тся Ізра́иль, глаго́люще: да сотвори́тъ тя́ Бо́гъ я́коже Єфре́ма и я́ко Манассі́ю. И поста́ви Єфре́ма вы́шше Манассі́и.

²¹

And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to the land of your fathers.

²¹

Рече́ же Ізра́иль Іо́сифу: се́, а́зъ умира́ю, и бу́детъ Бо́гъ съ ва́ми, и возврати́тъ ва́съ от земли́ сея́ на зе́млю оте́цъ ва́шихъ:

²²

And I give to thee Sicima, a select portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow.

²²

а́зъ же даю́ ти Сікі́му избра́нную свы́ше бра́тіи твоєя́, ю́же взя́хъ изъ руки́ Аморре́йски мече́мъ мои́мъ и лу́комъ.
