Вторая книга Паралипоменон 32
1 И по словесех сих и по истине сей, прииде Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и прииде на Иудею, и ополчися на грады крепкия хотя взяти их.
After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and camped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 И виде Езекиа, яко прииде Сеннахирим, и лице его воевати на Иерусалим:
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
3 и советова со старейшины своими и с сильными, да заключат воды источников, иже беша вне града: и соизволиша ему.
he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city; and they helped him.
4 И собра много людий, и заключи воды источников и поток текущь посреде града, глаголя: да не приидет царь Ассирийский, и обрящет вод много, и укрепится.
So many people gathered together, and they stopped all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?"
5 И укрепися Езекиа, и созда вся стены, яже быша разсыпаны, и столпы, и отвне предстение ино, и укрепи разрушенная града Давидова, и уготова оружия многа:
He took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6 и постави началники бранем над людьми, и собрашася к нему на площадь врат дебри, и глагола в сердца их глаголя:
He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to them, saying,
7 укрепитеся и мужайтеся и не устрашайтеся, ниже ужасайтеся от лица царя Ассирийска и от лица всего множества, еже с ним: яко множайшии с нами суть неже с ним:
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him.
8 с ним мышца плотская, с нами же Господь Бог наш, еже спасати и поборати на брани нашей. И укрепишася людие словесы Езекии царя Иудина.
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 И по сих посла Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский рабы своя во Иерусалим, сам же со всеми вои своими обстояше Лахис, и посла ко Езекии царю Иудину и ко всему Иуде, иже во Иерусалиме, глаголя:
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 сия глаголет Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский: на что вы уповаете и седите во обстоянии во Иерусалиме?
Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, "In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
11 Ни ли Езекиа прельщает вас, да предаст вы в смерть и в глад и жажду, глаголя: Господь Бог наш спасет нас от руки царя Ассирийска?
Doesn't Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 'The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?'
12 Не сей ли есть Езекиа, иже разори олтари Его и вышняя Его, и повеле Иуде и живущым во Иерусалиме, глаголя: олтарем пред олтарем сим покланяйтеся и в нем кадите фимиам?
Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?'
13 Или не весте сего, что аз сотворих и отцы мои всем людем земли? Еда могуще возмогоша бози языков всея земли избавити люди своя от руки моея?
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 Кто во всех бозех языков сих, ихже искорениша отцы мои? Еда возмогоша избавити люди своя от руки моея, и како может Бог ваш избавити вас от руки моея?
Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 Ныне убо да не прельщает вас Езекиа и да не творит вас уповати по сему, и не веруйте ему: аще бо ни един бог всякаго языка и царства возможе избавити люди своя от руки моея и от руку отец моих, то ниже Бог ваш возможет избавити вас от руки моея.
Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, neither believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?"
16 И ина (многа) глаголаша раби его противу Господа Бога и противу Езекии раба Его.
His servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 И послания написа поношая Господа Бога Израилева, и рече Нань, глаголя: якоже бози язык земли не могоша избавити людий своих от руки моея, тако ниже Бог Езекиин избавит люди Своя от руки моея.
He also wrote letters insulting the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand."
18 И возопи воплем великим языком Иудейским к людем, иже седяху на стенах Иерусалимлих, да устрашит их и ужасит, и возмет град:
They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
19 и глагола на Бога Иерусалимля, якоже и на богов людий земли, дела рук человеческих.
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
20 И помолися Езекиа царь и Исаиа сын Амосов пророк о сих, и возопиша на небо.
Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
21 И посла Господь Ангела, и порази всех мужей храбрых и бранников, и началников и воевод в полцех царя Ассирийска: и возврати лице его со стыдом на землю его, и прииде в дом бога своего, и сынове его изшедшии из чрева его погубиша его мечем.
The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, some of his own offspring killed him there with the sword.
22 И спасе Господь Езекию и обитающих во Иерусалиме от руки Сеннахирима царя Ассирийска и от руку всех, и подаде им покой окрест.
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
23 И мнози приношаху дары Господу во Иерусалим и даяния Езекии царю Иудину, и возвышен бысть пред очесы всех языков по сих.
Many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
24 Во днех оных разболеся Езекиа даже до смерти и помолися ко Господу: и услыша его и даде ему знамение.
In those days Hezekiah was sick even to death: and he prayed to the LORD; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
25 И не по воздаянию, еже даде ему, воздаде Езекиа, но вознесеся сердце его, и бысть на него гнев и на Иуду и на Иерусалим.
But Hezekiah did not render again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
26 И смирися Езекиа от высоты сердца своего сам и живущии во Иерусалиме, и не прииде на них гнев Господень во дни Езекиины.
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 И бысть Езекиеви богатство и слава многа зело: и сокровища себе собра сребра и злата и камения честнаго, и ароматы, и оружия хранилницы, и сосуды драгоценны,
Hezekiah had a very great amount of riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of goodly vessels;
28 и житницы жит, пшеницы и вина и елеа, и села, и ясли всякому скоту, и ограды стадом,
storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 и грады, яже созда себе, и строения овцам и волом множество: зане даде ему Господь собрания многа зело.
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
30 Той Езекиа загради исход воды Геона вышняго и проведе ю в низ к полудню града Давидова. И преуспе Езекиа во всех делех своих.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
31 И тако послом князей от Вавилона, иже послани бяху к нему, да вопросят его о чудеси, еже случися на земли, остави его Господь, да искусит его уведати, яже в сердцы его.
However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
32 Прочая же словес Езекииных, и щедроты его, се, писана суть в пророчестве Исаии пророка сына Амосова и в книзе царей Иудиных и Израилевых.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, look, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 И успе Езекиа со отцы своими, и погребоша его на восходех гробов сынов Давидовых: и славу и честь даша ему в смерти его весь Иуда и живущии во Иерусалиме. И воцарися Манассиа сын его вместо его.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
