Вторая книга Паралипоменон 25
1 Двадесяти пяти лет бысть Амасиа, егда царствовати нача, и двадесять девять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Иоадаень от Иерусалима.
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
2 И сотвори правое пред Господем, обаче не сердцем совершенным.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
3 И бысть егда утвердися царство в руце его, и умертви рабы своя иже убиша царя отца его.
As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
4 Сынов же их не изби по заповедем закона Господня, якоже писано есть в книзе закона Моисеова, якоже повеле Господь, глаголя: не умрут отцы за сыны, и сынове не умрут за отцы, но кийждо во гресе своем умрет.
Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
5 И собра Амасиа дом Иудин, и постави их по домом отечеств их в тысящники и сотники, во всей Иудеи и Вениамине: и сочте их от двадесяти лет и вышше, и обрете их триста тысящ сильных исходити на брань, держащих копия и щиты.
Then Amaziah gathered the people of Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.
6 Еще же ная от Израиля сто тысящ храбрых в силе, за сто талант сребра.
He also hired 100,000 mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
7 И прииде человек Божий к нему, глаголя: о, царю да не изыдет с тобою сила Израилева, несть бо Господь со Израилем, со всеми сыны Ефремли:
But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
8 яко аще мниши укрепитися с ними, в бегство обратит тя Господь пред враги, зане от Господа есть укрепитися и в бегство обратитися.
Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
9 Рече же Амасиа к человеку Божию: и что сотворю о сте талантах, яже дах силе Израилеве? И рече человек Божий: имать Господь дати тебе множае сих.
Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
10 И отлучи Амасиа силу пришедшую к нему от Ефрема, отити на место свое. И разгневашася зело на Иуду, и возвратишася во страну свою во гневе ярости.
So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.
11 И Амасиа укрепися, и взя люди своя и иде во удоль Сланую, и порази тамо сынов Сиир десять тысящ.
Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir,
12 И десять тысящ живых яша сынове Иудины, и приведоша их на верх некоторыя стремнины, и свергоша их стремглав с высоты стремнины, и вси разседошася.
and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.
13 Сынове же силы, ихже отсла Амасиа, да не идут с ним на брань, нападоша на грады Иудины от Самарии даже до Вефорона: и убиша от них три тысящы, и плениша плен мног.
Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of plunder.
14 И бысть егда возвратися Амасиа поразив Идумею, и принесе себе богов сынов Сиир, и постави в боги себе, и покланяшеся им и сам кадяше им.
When Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them, and burned sacrifices to them.
15 И бысть гнев Господень на Амасию, и посла к нему пророка, и рече ему: почто взыскал еси богов людских, иже не избавиша людий своих от руку твоею?
Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
16 И бысть егда той глаголаше к нему, и отвеща ему: еда советника царева поставих тя? Внемли, да не биен будеши. И умолча пророк и рече: вем, яко восхоте Господь потребити тя, занеже сотворил еси сие зло) и не послушал еси совета моего.
While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”
17 И совеща Амасиа царь Иудин, и посла ко Иоасу сыну Иоахаза сына Ииуева, ко царю Израилеву, глаголя: прииди, да увидимся между собою в лице.
Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
18 И посла Иоас царь Израилев ко Амасии царю Иудину, глаголя: терн, иже в Ливане, посла ко кедру ливанску, глаголя: даждь дщерь твою сыну моему в жену, и се, приидут зверие, иже в дубраве Ливанстей: и приидоша зверие и потопташа терн:
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
19 рекл еси: се, поразих Идумею, и воздвизается сердце твое в гордыню: ныне седи в дому твоем, и почто совещаваеши себе лукавое? Падеши ты и Иуда с тобою.
You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
20 И не послуша Амасиа, зане от Господа бысть, да предастся в руки Иоасу, яко взыска богов Идумейских.
But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
21 И взыде Иоас царь Израилев, и явистася друг другу, той и Амасиа царь Иудин, в Вефсамисе, иже есть Иудин.
So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
22 И паде Иуда пред лицем Израилевым, и бежа кийждо в жилище свое.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
23 И Амасию царя Иудина сына Иоасова, сына Охозиина, ят Иоас царь Израилев в Вефсамисе, и введе его во Иерусалим, и разори стены Иерусалимли от врат Ефремлих даже до врат угла на четыреста лакот:
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
24 и все злато и сребро, и вся сосуды обретшыяся в дому Господни и у Авдедома, и сокровища дому царева, и сынов залога, и возврати в Самарию.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
25 И поживе Амасиа сын Иоасов, царь Иудин, по умертвии Иоаса сына Иоахазова царя Израилева пятьнадесять лет.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
26 Прочая же словеса Амасиина первая и последняя, не се ли, писана суть в книзе царей Иудиных и Израилевых?
As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
27 И во время егда Амасиа отступи от Господа, и нападоша на него нападением, и побеже из Иерусалима в Лахис. И послаша вслед его в Лахис, и убиша его ту.
From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
28 И взяша его на конех и погребоша его со отцы его во граде Давидове.
They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
