Вторая книга Паралипоменон 18
1 И бысть Иосафату богатство и слава многа, и поят жену в дому Ахаавли.
Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; he allied himself with Ahab by having one of his family marry his daughter.
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.
After some years, he went down to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab killed many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him. Ahab also persuaded him to attack Ramoth Gilead with him.
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.
Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered him, “I am like you, and my people are like your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 И рече Иосафат царю Израилеву: вопроси убо днесь Господа.
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please first seek the word of Yahweh for your answer.”
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.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for God will give it into the hand of the king.”
6 Рече же Иосафат: несть ли зде пророка Господня еще, да от него вопросим?
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here still another prophet of Yahweh with whom we might seek advice?”
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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek the advice of Yahweh, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil.” But Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that.”
8 И призва царь Израилев единаго от евнух и рече ему: (призови) скоро Михею сына Иемвлина.
Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah 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.
Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 И сотвори себе Седекиа сын Ханаань роги железны и рече: сия глаголет Господь: сими избодеши Сирию, дондеже скончается.
Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.”
11 И вси пророцы прорицаху тако, глаголюще: взыди в Рамоф Галаадский и предуспееши, и предаст Господь в руку цареву.
All the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
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.
The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the words of the prophets with one mouth are favorable to the king. Let your words agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
13 И отвеща Михеа: жив Господь, яко еже аще речет Бог ко мне, сие возглаголю.
Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what God says that I will say.”
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.
When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and be victorious! For it will be a great victory.”
15 И рече ему царь: колико крат заклинаю тя, да не глаголеши мне, токмо истину во имя Господне.
Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
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.
So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return 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?
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
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:
Then Micaiah said, “Therefore all of you should hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were 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:
Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, king of Israel, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said this and another that.
20 и изыде дух, и ста пред Господем, и рече: аз прельщу его: емуже Господь, в чем, рече, (прельстиши)?
Then a spirit came forward and it stood before Yahweh and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
21 И рече: изыду и буду дух лжив во устех всех пророков его: рече же (Господь): прельстиши и превозможеши, изыди и сотвори тако:
The spirit replied, 'I will go out and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now and do so.'
22 и ныне се, Господь даде духа лжива во уста всем пророком твоим сим, и Господь глагола о тебе злая.
Now see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
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 son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
24 Рече же Михеа: се, узриши в день той, егда внидеши в ложницу из ложницы, да укрыешися.
Micaiah said, “Look, you will know that on that day, when you run into some inner room to hide.”
25 И рече царь Израилев: возмите Михею, и отведите ко Еммиру началнику града и ко Иоасу князю сыну цареву,
The king of Israel said to some servants, “You people seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
26 и рцыте: сия глаголет царь: вверзите сего в темницу, и да яст хлеб печали и воду печали, дондеже возвращуся в мире.
You people will say to him, 'The king says: Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I return safely.'”
27 Рече же Михеа: аще возвращаяся возвратишися в мире, не глагола Господь мною. И рече: слышите, вси людие.
Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
28 И взыде царь Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин в Рамоф Галаадский.
So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up against 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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So 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.
Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack the unimportant or the important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
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.
It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “That is the king of Israel.” They turned around to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him. God turned them away from him.
32 И бысть егда увидеша воеводы колесниц, яко не бяше царь Израилев, оставиша его.
It came about that when the commanders of the chariots saw 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.
But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly 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.
The battle grew worse that day, and the king of Israel was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans until the evening. About the time that the sun was going down, he died.
