Третья книга Царств 13
1 И се, человек Божий прииде от Иуды по словеси Господню в Вефиль, и Иеровоам стояше на олтари своем жрети хотя:
Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the LORD’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
2 и воззва ко олтарю словом Господним и рече: олтарю, олтарю, сице глаголет Господь: се, сын раждается дому Давидову, Иосиа имя ему, и пожрет на тебе жерцы, иже на высоких жрущыя на тебе, и кости человеческия сожжет на тебе.
He cried against the altar by the LORD’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! The LORD says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”
3 И даст в день той чудо, глаголя: сей глаголгол, егоже рече Господь, глаголя: се, олтарь разсядется, и излиется тук иже на нем.
He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”
4 И бысть егда услыша царь Иеровоам словеса человека Божия воззвавшаго ко олтарю иже в Вефили, и простре царь руку свою от олтаря, глаголя: имите его. И се, усше рука его, юже простре нань, и не можаше возвратити ю к себе:
When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
5 и олтарь разседеся, и излияся тук от олтаря, по чудеси, еже даде человек Божий словом Господним.
The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the LORD’s word.
6 И рече царь Иеровоам человеку Божию: помолися ныне пред лицем Господа Бога твоего, дабы возвратилася рука моя ко мне. И помолися человек Божий пред лицем Господним, и возвратися рука царя к нему, и бысть якоже прежде.
The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favour of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
7 И глагола царь к человеку Божию: вниди со мною в дом, и обедай, и дам ти дар.
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 И рече человек Божий к цареви: аще даси ми пол дому твоего, не вниду с тобою, ниже ям хлеба, ниже пию воды на месте сем,
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
9 яко тако заповеда ми Господь словом, глаголя: ни яждь хлеба, ни пий воды, ниже возвратися путем, имже шел еси.
for so was it commanded me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that you came.’”
10 И отиде путем иным, и не возвратися путем, имже прииде во Вефиль.
So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 И пророк един стар живяше в Вефили, и приидоша сынове его и поведаша ему вся дела, яже сотвори человек Божий в день той в Вефили, и словеса, яже глагола цареви, поведаша отцу своему.
Now an old prophet lived in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12 И рече к ним отец их, глаголя: киим путем иде? И показаша ему сынове его путь, имже иде человек Божий изшедый от Иуды.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 И рече сыном своим: оседлайте ми осля. И оседлаша ему осля, и вседе на не,
He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
14 и иде вслед человека Божия, и обрете его под дубом седяща, и рече ему: ты ли еси человек Божий пришедый от Иуды? И рече ему: аз.
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
15 И рече ему: гряди со мною, и яждь хлеб.
Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
16 И рече ему: не могу возвратитися с тобою, ниже ям хлеба, ни пию воды на месте сем,
He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 яко тако заповеда ми Господь словом, глаголя: не яждь хлеба тамо, ниже пий воды тамо, и да не возвратишися путем тем, имже шел еси.
For it was said to me by the LORD’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that you came.’”
18 И рече к нему: и аз пророк есмь якоже ты, и Ангел глагола ко мне словом Господним, глаголя: возврати его к себе в дом твой, да снест хлеба и пиет воду. И солга ему,
He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
19 и возврати его: и яде хлеб, и пи воду в дому его.
So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 И бысть им седящым на трапезе, и бысть слово Господне ко пророку возвращшему его.
As they sat at the table, the LORD’s word came to the prophet who brought him back;
21 И рече к человеку Божию пришедшему от Иуды, глаголя: сице глаголет Господь: понеже преогорчил еси глаголгол Господень и не сохранил еси заповеди, юже заповеда тебе Господь Бог твой,
and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the LORD’s word, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,
22 и возвратився ял еси хлеб и пил еси воду на месте сем, о немже рече к тебе, глаголя: да не яси хлеба и не пиеши воды: сего ради не внидет во гроб тело твое со отцы твоими.
but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water,” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 И бысть по ядении хлеба и по питии воды, и оседла осля тому пророку, и возвратися, и отиде:
After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 и обрете его лев на пути, и умертви его: и бе тело его повержено на пути, и осел стояше над ним, и лев стояше близ телесе (его):
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way and killed him. His body was thrown on the path, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
25 и се, мужие мимоидуще, и видеша мертва повержена на пути и льва стояща близ мертваго: и приидоша, и поведаша во граде, в немже живяше пророк старый.
Behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the path, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 И услыша (сие пророк) возвративый его с пути и рече: человек Божии сей есть, иже преступи глаголгол Божий, и предаде его Господь льву, и сокруши его, и умертви его по глаголголу Господню, егоже рече ему.
When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who was disobedient to the LORD’s word. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to him.”
27 И повеле сыном своим, глаголя: оседлайте ми осля. И оседлаша.
He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.
28 И пойде, и обрете тело его повержено на пути, и осел и лев стояста над телом, и не снеде лев телесе человека Божия и не сокруши осла.
He went and found his body thrown on the path, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.
29 И взя пророк тело человека Божия, и возложи е на осля, и возврати е пророк, и вниде во град погребсти его,
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
30 и положи тело его во гробе своем, и рыдаше по нем: увы, брате.
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”
31 И бысть по рыдании о нем, и рече к сыном своим, глаголя: аще умру, погребите мя во гробе сем, идеже человек Божий погребен есть, при костех его положите мя, да спасутся кости моя с костьми его,
After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
32 яко сбудется глагол, егоже глагола словом Господним о олтари, иже во Вефили, и о домех высоких, иже в Самарии.
For the saying which he cried by the LORD’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”
33 И по глаголе сем не обратися Иеровоам от злобы своея, и возвратися, и сотвори от части единыя людий жерцы высоких: иже хотяше, исполняше руку свою, и бываше жрец на высоких.
After this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from amongst all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
34 И бысть глагол сей в прегрешение дому Иеровоамлю, и на испровержение, и на изчезновение от лица земли.
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
