Вторая книга Паралипоменон 18

1 И бысть Иосафату богатство и слава многа, и поят жену в дому Ахаавли.

And Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.

2 И сниде при концы лет ко Ахааву в Самарию: и закла ему Ахаав овны и волы многи, и людем сущым с ним, и увещаваше его, да снидет с ним в Рамоф Галаадский.

And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab, to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.

3 И рече Ахаав царь Израилев ко Иосафату царю Иудину: пойдеши ли со мною в Рамоф Галаадский? И рече ему: якоже аз, тако и ты: и якоже людие твои, тако и людие мои с тобою на брань.

And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead? And he said to him, I am as thou, and my people as thy people; and [I will be] with thee in the war.

4 И рече Иосафат царю Израилеву: вопроси убо днесь Господа.

And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.

5 И собра царь Израилев пророков четыреста мужей и рече к ним: пойду ли в Рамоф Галаадский на брань, или удержуся? И реша: взыди, и предаст Бог в руку цареву.

And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will give it into the king's hand.

6 Рече же Иосафат: несть ли зде пророка Господня еще, да от него вопросим?

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?

7 И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: есть еще муж един, имже вопросити Господа, но аз ненавижду его, понеже не прорицает мне во благая, зане вси дние его во злая: сей Михеа сын Иемвлин. Рече же Иосафат: не глаголи, царю тако.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but always evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

8 И призва царь Израилев единаго от евнух и рече ему: (призови) скоро Михею сына Иемвлина.

Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.

9 Царь же Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин кийждо седяше на престоле своем, и облечена красотою царскою, седяста же на пространстве близ врат Самарийских, и вси пророцы пророчествоваху пред нима.

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

10 И сотвори себе Седекиа сын Ханаань роги железны и рече: сия глаголет Господь: сими избодеши Сирию, дондеже скончается.

And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.

11 И вси пророцы прорицаху тако, глаголюще: взыди в Рамоф Галаадский и предуспееши, и предаст Господь в руку цареву.

And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.

12 Вестник же, шедый призвати Михею, рече ему: се, рекоша пророцы единеми усты благая о цари да будут убо и твоя словеса, якоже единаго от них, и да речеши благая.

And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and declare good.

13 И отвеща Михеа: жив Господь, яко еже аще речет Бог ко мне, сие возглаголю.

And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what my God shall say, that will I declare.

14 И прииде ко царю, и рече ему царь: Михее, имам ли ити Рамоф Галаадский на брань, или удержуся? И отвеща: взыди и предуспееши, и предадутся (врази) в руки вашя.

And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they will be given into your hands.

15 И рече ему царь: колико крат заклинаю тя, да не глаголеши мне, токмо истину во имя Господне.

And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?

16 И рече Михеа: видех всего Израиля расточена по горам яко овцы, имже несть пастыря: и рече Господь: не имут сии вожда, да возвратятся кийждо в дом свой в мире.

And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

17 И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: не рех ли тебе, яко не прорицает о мне благая, но токмо злая?

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?

18 И рече Михеа: не тако: слышите слово Господне: видех Господа седяща на престоле Своем, и вся сила небесная предстояше одесную Его и ошуюю Его:

And he said, Hear ye therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;

19 и рече Господь: кто прельстит Ахаава царя Израилева, да взыдет и падет в Рамофе Галаадстем? И глаголаше един тако, и ин рече тако:

and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

20 и изыде дух, и ста пред Господем, и рече: аз прельщу его: емуже Господь, в чем, рече, (прельстиши)?

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith?

21 И рече: изыду и буду дух лжив во устех всех пророков его: рече же (Господь): прельстиши и превозможеши, изыди и сотвори тако:

And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.

22 и ныне се, Господь даде духа лжива во уста всем пророком твоим сим, и Господь глагола о тебе злая.

And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.

23 И приступи Седекиа сын Ханаань, и удари Михею в ланиту и рече ему: коим путем пройде Дух Господень от мене, еже глаголати к тебе?

Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Which way now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?

24 Рече же Михеа: се, узриши в день той, егда внидеши в ложницу из ложницы, да укрыешися.

And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.

25 И рече царь Израилев: возмите Михею, и отведите ко Еммиру началнику града и ко Иоасу князю сыну цареву,

And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

26 и рцыте: сия глаголет царь: вверзите сего в темницу, и да яст хлеб печали и воду печали, дондеже возвращуся в мире.

and ye shall say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

27 Рече же Михеа: аще возвращаяся возвратишися в мире, не глагола Господь мною. И рече: слышите, вси людие.

And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!

28 И взыде царь Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин в Рамоф Галаадский.

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.

29 Рече же царь Израилев ко Иосафату: прикрыюся и вниду во брань, ты же облецыся в ризы моя. И прикрыся царь Израилев и вниде во брань.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.

30 Царь же Сирский повеле вождем колесниц своих, глаголя: не устремляйтеся на мала и на велика, но токмо на самаго царя Израилева.

And the king of Syria commanded the captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.

31 И бысть егда увидеша началницы колесниц Иосафата, глаголаша: царь Израилев есть сей. И обыдоша его воююще. Иосафат же возопи ко Господу, и Господь послуша его, и отврати их Бог от него.

And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, That is the king of Israel; and they surrounded him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God diverted them from him.

32 И бысть егда увидеша воеводы колесниц, яко не бяше царь Израилев, оставиша его.

And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

33 И муж наляче лук приметно и порази царя Израилева между легким и персями. И рече возатаю своему: обрати руку твою и изведи мя от брани яко изнемогох.

And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.

34 И скончана бысть брань в день той, и царь Израилев бе стоя на колеснице своей противу Сириом даже до вечера, и умре заходящу солнцу.

And the battle increased that day; and the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
