1 Samuel 6
1 The ark of YHWH was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
И бе кивот Господень на селе иноплеменников седмь месяц: и воскипе земля их мышами.
2 The Philistines called for the priests, and for the diviners, and for the magicians, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of YHWH? Tell us how we should send it to its place."
И призваша иноплеменницы жерцев и волхвов и обаянников своих, глаголюще: что сотворим кивоту Господню? Скажите нам, како послем его на место его?
3 And they said, "If you are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to him a reparation, then you shall be healed and he will be reconciled to you. Will not, then, his hand be removed from you?"
И реша: аще отпущаете вы кивот завета Господа Бога Израилева, да не послете его тща, но отдающе отдадите Ему за муки (дары), и тогда исцелитеся, и умилостивится вам: еда ли не отступит рука Его от вас?
4 Then they said, "What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?" They said, "Five golden tumors, and five golden mice, for the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
И глаголаша: что Ему за муки отдадим? И реша: по числу воевод и иноплеменничих пять седалищ златых и пять мышей златых, яко прегрешения в вас и в князех ваших и в людех:
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumors, and images of your mice that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
и сотворите подобие седалищ ваших и подобие мышей ваших, растлевающих землю, и воздадите славу Богу (Израилеву), яко да облегчит руку Свою от вас и от богов ваших и от земли вашея:
6 Why then do you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had worked wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
и почто отягощаете сердца ваша, якоже отягчи Египет и фараон сердце свое? Не егда ли поругася им, отпусти их, и отидоша?
7 "Now therefore take and prepare yourselves a new cart, and two milk cows, on which there has come no yoke; and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
И ныне возмите и сотворите колесницу нову едину и две кравы первородившыя без телят, на нихже не бяше ярмо: и впрязите кравы в колесницу, а телята их возвратите вспять в дом:
8 and take the ark of YHWH, and lay it on the cart; and put the figures of gold, which you return him for a trespass offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
и возмите кивот Господень, и возложите и на колесницу, и сосуды златыя отдадите Ему за муки, и положите в ковчежце от страны его: и отпустите его, да идет:
9 And watch; if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth Shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it was a chance that happened to us."
и узрите, аще путем пределов своих пойдет в Вефсамис, той сотвори нам зло великое сие: аще же ни, то уразумеем, яко не рука его прикоснуся нас, но приключение сие бысть нам.
10 The men did so, and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;
И сотвориша иноплеменницы тако, и взяша две кравы первородившыя, и впрягоша я в колесницу, телята же их затвориша в доме:
11 and they put the ark of YHWH on the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
и возложиша кивот Господень на колесницу, и ковчежец, и мышы златыя, и подобия седалищ своих:
12 The cows took the straight way by the way to Beth Shemesh; they went along the highway, mooing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the territory of Beth Shemesh.
и управишася кравы на пути в путь Вефсамский, на пути имже идяху, и труждахуся, и не совращахуся на десно, ниже на шуе: и воеводы иноплеменничи идяху вслед его даже до предел Вефсамских.
13 And those of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
И иже в Вефсамисе жняху жатву пшеницы во юдоли: и возведоша очи свои, и видеша кивот Господень, и возвеселишася во сретение ему.
14 The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there, where there was a great stone. And they split the wood of the cart, and offered up the cows for a burnt offering to YHWH.
И колесница вниде в село Осиево сущее в Вефсамисе, (и ста тамо, ) и поставиша тамо при нем камень велий: и иссекоша древеса колесничная, и кравы вознесоша на всесожжение Господу.
15 The Levites took down the ark of YHWH, and the chest that was with it, in which the articles of gold were, and put them on the great stone. And the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to YHWH.
Левити же вознесоша кивот Господень, и ковчежец иже с ним, и яже в нем сосуды златы, и положиша на камени велицем: мужие же Вефсамстии вознесоша всесожжения и пожроша жертву в той день Господу.
16 When the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
И пять воевод иноплеменничи зряху, и возвратишася во Аккарон в день той.
17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to YHWH: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
И сия седалища златая, яже воздаша иноплеменницы за муку Господу: Азотско едино, Газско едино, Аскалонско едино, Гефско едино, Аккаронско едино.
18 and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even to the great stone, whereon they set down the ark of YHWH. That stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
И златыя мышы по числу всех градов иноплеменничих пяти воевод, от града утвержена и даже до веси ферезеовы и до камене великаго, на немже положиша кивот завета Господня, иже есть даже до сего дне, на селе Осии Вефсамиситянина.
19 But the sons of Jeconiah did not rejoice with the people of Beth Shemesh when they saw the ark of YHWH. So he struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned, because YHWH had struck the people with a great slaughter.
И не порадовашася сынове Иехониины в мужех Вефсамских, яко видеша кивот Господень: и уби в них пятьдесят тысящ и седмьдесят мужей. И плакашася людие, яко порази Господь людий язвою великою зело.
20 And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy thing? And to whom should he go up from us?"
И реша мужие иже от Вефсамиса: кто возможет поити пред Господем Богом святым сим? И к кому взыдет кивот завета Господня от нас?
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of YHWH; come down, and bring it up to yourselves."
И послаша послы к живущым в Кариафиариме, глаголюще: возвратиша иноплеменницы кивот Господень, снидите и вознесите его к себе.
