Разноцветная туника
The coat of many colors
Russian
Иаков жил в Ханаане, где раньше жил его отец. Его также называли Израилем. У него было много детей. Его сыну Иосифу было семнадцать лет. Иосиф вместе с братьями пас стадо. Среди них были сыновья Валлы и Зелфы, жён Иакова. Иосиф рассказал отцу о плохих поступках братьев.
English translation
Jacob lived in Canaan, where his father had lived before him. He was also called Israel. He had many children. His son Joseph was seventeen years old. Joseph tended the flock with his brothers. Among them were the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, Jacob's wives. Joseph told his father about his brothers' bad behavior.
Russian
Иаков любил Иосифа больше других детей, потому что тот родился, когда отец был уже старым. Он сшил Иосифу разноцветную тунику — длинную рубаху. Братья видели, что отец любит Иосифа больше, и ненавидели его. Они даже не могли спокойно с ним говорить.
English translation
Jacob loved Joseph more than his other children because Joseph had been born when his father was old. He made Joseph a multicolored tunic, a long shirt. When his brothers saw that their father loved Joseph more, they hated him. They could not even speak to him calmly.
