Третья книга Царств 21

1 И бысть по глаголех сих, и виноград един бе у Навуфеа Иезраилитянина при гумне Ахаава царя Самарийска.

And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.

2 И рече Ахаав к Навуфею, глаголя: даждь ми виноград твой, и будет ми во вертоград зелий, яко близ есть сей дому моего, и дам ти вместо сего виноград ин добр паче сего: аще же угодно пред тобою, дам ти сребро измену винограда сего, и будет ми во вертоград зелий.

And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.

3 И рече Навуфей ко Ахааву: да не будет мне от Господа Бога моего дати наследие отец моих тебе.

And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.

4 И прииде Ахаав в дом свой смущен и оскорблен о словеси, еже глагола к нему Навуфей Иезраилитянин, и рече: не дам тебе наследия отец моих. И бысть дух Ахаавль смущен, и успе на одре своем и покры лице свое и не яде хлеба.

And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:

5 И вниде Иезавель жена его к нему и рече к нему: что дух твой есть смущен, и не яси ты хлеба?

and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them

6 И рече к ней (Ахаав): яко глаголах Навуфею Иезраилитянину глаголя: даждь ми виноград твой за сребро: и аще хощеши, дам ти виноград ин вместо его: и рече: не дам ти наследия отец моих.

smote each one the man next to him; and each one a second time smote the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.

7 И рече к нему Иезавель жена его: ты ли ныне твориши тако, царю Израилев? Востани и яждь хлеб и молча буди, аз же дам ти виноград Навуфеа Иезраилитянина.

And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and smote [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.

8 И написа книгу на имя Ахаавле, и запечата ю печатию его, и посла книгу к старейшинам и свободным живущым с Навуфеем.

And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen thyself, and observe, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against thee.

9 И писано бяше в книзе тако: поститеся постом и посадите Навуфеа и в начале людий:

And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.

10 и посадите два мужа сыны законопреступных противу ему, и да засвидетелствуют о нем, глаголюще, яко (не) благослови Бога и царя: и да изведут его и побиют камением, и да умрет.

And do thou this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.

11 И сотвориша тако мужие града его старейшии и свободнии живущии во граде его, якоже посла к ним Иезавель, и якоже писано бяше в книгах, яже посла к ним:

And we will give thee [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.

12 и нарекоша пост, и посадиша Навуфеа в начале людий,

And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.

13 и приидоста два мужа сынове законопреступных и седоста противу его, и засвидетелствоваша на него мужие отступницы Навуфеовы пред людьми, глаголюще: сей (не) благослови Бога и царя. И изведоша его вон из града и побиша его камением, и умре.

And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.

14 И послаша ко Иезавели, глаголюще: камением побиен бысть Навуфей и умре.

And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into thy hand, and thou shalt know that I [am] the Lord.

15 И бысть егда услыша Иезавель глаголющих, яко побиен Навуфей и умре, и рече Иезавель ко Ахааву: востани, наследуй виноград Навуфеа Иезраилитянина, иже не взя у тебе сребра, и уже несть Навуфей жив, но умре.

And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel smote Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.

16 И бысть егда услыша Ахаав, яко убиен бысть Навуфей Иезраилитянин, и раздра ризы своя и облечеся во вретище. И бысть по сих, и воста и сниде Ахаав в виноград Навуфеа Иезраилитянина наследити его.

And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.

17 И рече Господь ко Илии Фесвитянину, глаголя:

And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.

18 востани и сниди на сретение Ахааву царю Израилеву, иже в Самарии, се бо, сей в винограде Навуфееве, яко сниде тамо наследити его:

So they girt sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Thy servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray thee. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.

19 и речеши ему, глаголя: сице глаголет Господь: понеже ты убил еси (Навуфеа) и приял еси в наследие (виноград его), сего ради тако глаголет Господь: на месте, идеже полизаша свинии и пси кровь его, тамо полижут и кровь твою, и блудницы измыются в крови твоей.

And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Thy brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go ye in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.

20 И рече Ахаав ко Илии: обрел ли еси мя, враже мой? И рече Илиа: обретох: понеже ты всуе продан еси сотворити лукавое пред Господем, во еже разгневати Его:

And he said to him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore to thee; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let thee go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.

21 сице глаголет Господь: се, Аз наведу на тя злая и попалю задняя твоя, и искореню Ахаавля мочащагося к стене, и содержимыя и оставшихся во Израили:

And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray, And the man would not smite him.

22 и предам дом твой якоже дом Иеровоама сына Наватова, и якоже дом Ваасы сына Ахиина, о прогневаниих, имиже прогневал Мя еси, и грешити сотворил еси Израиля.

And he said to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as thou departest from me, a lion shall smite thee: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and smote him.

23 И ко Иезавели рече Господь, глаголя: пси снедят ю в предградии Иезраеля:

And he finds another man, and says, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded [him].

24 умершаго Ахаавля во граде снедят пси, и умершаго его на поли снедят птицы небесныя:

And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.

25 и в суете ты еси, Ахааве, иже продан бысть сотворити лукавое пред Господем, яко преврати его Иезавель жена его.

And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Thy servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then thy life shall go for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

26 И омерзися зело, еже ходити вслед мерзостей, яже сотвори Аморрей, егоже истреби Господь от лица сынов Израилевых.

And it came to pass, that thy servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, thou hast also destroyed snares [set] for me.

27 И бысть егда услыша Ахаав словеса сия, умилися от лица Господня, и идяше плачася, и раздра ризы своя, и препоясася вретищем по телу своему и постися: и бе облечен во вретище от дне, в оньже уби Навуфеа Иезраилитянина, и хождаше скорбен.

And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.

28 И бысть глагол Господень рукою раба его Илии о Ахааве,

And he said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast suffered to escape out of thine hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

29 и рече Господь: видел ли еси, яко умилися Ахаав от лица Моего? Сего ради не наведу зла во днех его: но во днех сына его наведу зло на дом его.

And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
