1 Иаков жил в земле странствования отца своего [Исаака], в земле Ханаанской.
1 Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.
2 Вот житие Иакова. Иосиф, семнадцати лет, пас скот [отца своего] вместе с братьями своими, будучи отроком, с сыновьями Валлы и с сыновьями Зелфы, жен отца своего. И доводил Иосиф худые о них слухи до [Израиля] отца их.
2 This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.
3 Израиль любил Иосифа более всех сыновей своих, потому что он был сын старости его, — и сделал ему разноцветную одежду.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colors.
4 И увидели братья его, что отец их любит его более всех братьев его; и возненавидели его и не могли говорить с ним дружелюбно.
4 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 И видел Иосиф сон, и рассказал [его] братьям своим: и они возненавидели его еще более.
5 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 Он сказал им: выслушайте сон, который я видел:
6 He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
7 вот, мы вяжем снопы посреди поля; и вот, мой сноп встал и стал прямо; и вот, ваши снопы стали кругом и поклонились моему снопу.
7 for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”
8 И сказали ему братья его: неужели ты будешь царствовать над нами? неужели будешь владеть нами? И возненавидели его еще более за сны его и за слова его.
8 His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.
9 И видел он еще другой сон и рассказал его [отцу своему и] братьям своим, говоря: вот, я видел еще сон: вот, солнце и луна и одиннадцать звезд поклоняются мне.
9 He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
10 И он рассказал отцу своему и братьям своим; и побранил его отец его и сказал ему: что это за сон, который ты видел? неужели я и твоя мать, и твои братья придем поклониться тебе до земли?
10 He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
11 Братья его досадовали на него, а отец его заметил это слово.
11 His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 Братья его пошли пасти скот отца своего в Сихем.
12 His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
13 И сказал Израиль Иосифу: братья твои не пасут ли в Сихеме? пойди, я пошлю тебя к ним. Он отвечал ему: вот я.
13 Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
14 [Израиль] сказал ему: пойди, посмотри, здоровы ли братья твои и цел ли скот, и принеси мне ответ. И послал его из долины Хевронской; и он пришел в Сихем.
14 He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 И нашел его некто блуждающим в поле, и спросил его тот человек, говоря: чего ты ищешь?
15 A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 Он сказал: я ищу братьев моих; скажи мне, где они пасут?
16 He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
17 И сказал тот человек: они ушли отсюда, ибо я слышал, как они говорили: пойдем в Дофан. И пошел Иосиф за братьями своими и нашел их в Дофане.
17 The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 И увидели они его издали, и прежде нежели он приблизился к ним, стали умышлять против него, чтобы убить его.
18 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 И сказали друг другу: вот, идет сновидец;
19 They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
20 пойдем теперь, и убьем его, и бросим его в какой—нибудь ров, и скажем, что хищный зверь съел его; и увидим, что будет из его снов.
20 Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”
21 И услышал сие Рувим и избавил его от рук их, сказав: не убьем его.
21 Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”
22 И сказал им Рувим: не проливайте крови; бросьте его в ров, который в пустыне, а руки не налагайте на него. Сие говорил он [с тем намерением], чтобы избавить его от рук их и возвратить его к отцу его.
22 Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 Когда Иосиф пришел к братьям своим, они сняли с Иосифа одежду его, одежду разноцветную, которая была на нем,
23 When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;
24 и взяли его и бросили его в ров; ров же тот был пуст; воды в нем не было.
24 and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.
25 И сели они есть хлеб, и, взглянув, увидели, вот, идет из Галаада караван Измаильтян, и верблюды их несут стираксу, бальзам и ладан: идут они отвезти это в Египет.
25 They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 И сказал Иуда братьям своим: что пользы, если мы убьем брата нашего и скроем кровь его?
26 Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Пойдем, продадим его Измаильтянам, а руки наши да не будут на нем, ибо он брат наш, плоть наша. Братья его послушались
27 Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.
28 и, когда проходили купцы Мадиамские, вытащили Иосифа изо рва и продали Иосифа Измаильтянам за двадцать сребренников; а они отвели Иосифа в Египет.
28 Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Рувим же пришел опять ко рву; и вот, нет Иосифа во рве. И разодрал он одежды свои,
29 Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 и возвратился к братьям своим, и сказал: отрока нет, а я, куда я денусь?
30 He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 И взяли одежду Иосифа, и закололи козла, и вымарали одежду кровью;
31 They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
32 и послали разноцветную одежду, и доставили к отцу своему, и сказали: мы это нашли; посмотри, сына ли твоего эта одежда, или нет.
32 They took the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”
33 Он узнал ее и сказал: это одежда сына моего; хищный зверь съел его; верно, растерзан Иосиф.
33 He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”
34 И разодрал Иаков одежды свои, и возложил вретище на чресла свои, и оплакивал сына своего многие дни.
34 Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 И собрались все сыновья его и все дочери его, чтобы утешить его; но он не хотел утешиться и сказал: с печалью сойду к сыну моему в преисподнюю. Так оплакивал его отец его.
35 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.
36 Мадианитяне же продали его в Египте Потифару, царедворцу фараонову, начальнику телохранителей.
36 The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Because Joseph was sold into Egypt by his brethren. That Joseph whom the brethren envied, and sold him into Egypt, when sold into Egypt, toiled, was humbled; when made known and exalted, flourished, reigned.
