< Четвертая книга Царств 10 >

1 И Ахааву беша седмьдесят сынове во Самарии. И написа писание Ииуй и посла в Самарию ко князем Самарийским и к старейшинам и ко кормителем сынов Ахаавлих, глаголя:
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
2 и ныне егда приидет писание сие к вам, и с вами сынове господина вашего, и с вами колесницы и кони, и грады тверды и оружия:
“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor,
3 и узрите благаго и праваго в сынех господина вашего, и поставите его на престоле отца его, и да воюете о доме господина вашего.
select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
4 И убояшася зело и реша: се, два царя не возмогоста стати противу лицу его, и како мы станем?
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings did not stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
5 И послаша иже над домом и иже над градом, и старейшины, и кормителе ко Ииую, глаголголюще: отроцы мы твои, и елика аще речеши к нам, сотворим: не воцарим мужа, благое пред очима твоима сотворим.
He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
6 И написа к ним Ииуй писание второе, глаголя: аще вы мои и гласа моего вы послушаете, возмите главы мужей сынов господина вашего и принесите ко мне, якоже час утро, во Иезраель. И бе сынов царевых седмьдесят мужей, сии началницы града вскормиша их.
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
7 И бысть егда прииде к ним писание, и взяша сыны царевы и заклаша их седмьдесят мужей, и возложиша главы их в кошницы и послаша их к нему во Иезраель.
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
8 И прииде вестник, и возвести ему, глаголя: принесоша главы сынов царевых. И рече: положите я в два холма при вратех града до заутра.
A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
9 И бысть заутра, и изыде и ста во вратех града, и рече ко всем людем: праведни вы: се, аз есмь, обратихся на господина моего и убих его: и кто порази всех сих?
In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
10 Видите убо, яко не падет от глагола Господня на землю, егоже глагола Господь на дом Ахаавль: и Господь сотвори, елика глагола рукою раба Своего Илии.
Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
11 И изби Ииуй всех оставшихся в дому Ахаавли во Иезраели, и вся вельможы его, и знаемыя его, и жерцы его, яко не остатися его останку.
So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
12 И воста и иде в Самарию сам, в Вефакад пастырский при пути.
He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,
13 И Ииуй обрете братию Охозии царя Иудина и рече: кто вы? И реша: братия Охозиины мы, и снидохом поздравити сыны царевы и сыны обладающия.
Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”
14 И рече: поимите я живы. И взяша их живых, и заклаша их в Вефакаде, четыредесять два мужа: и не остави мужа от них.
He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He did not leave any of them.
15 И иде оттуду, и обрете Ионадава сына Рихавля на пути во сретение себе, и благослови его. И рече к нему Ииуй: аще есть сердце твое с сердцем моим право, якоже сердце мое с сердцем твоим? И рече Ионадав: есть. И рече Ииуй: и аще есть, даждь руку твою. И даде руку свою. И возведе его к себе на колесницу
When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16 и рече к нему: гряди со мною и виждь, внегда ревновати мне по Господе саваофе. И посади его на колесницу свою.
He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they made him ride in his chariot.
17 И вниде в Самарию, и изби всех оставшихся Ахаавлих в Самарии, дондеже истребити ему по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола ко Илии.
When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
18 И собра Ииуй вся люди и рече к ним: Ахаав поработа Ваалу мало, Ииуй же поработает ему много:
Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
19 и ныне вся пророки Вааловы, вся рабы его и жерцы его призовите ко мне, муж да не потаится, яко жертва велика Ваалу: и всяк иже потаится, не будет жив. И Ииуй сотвори лестию, да погубит рабы Вааловы.
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshipers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshipers of Baal.
20 И рече Ииуй: освятите жертву Ваалу и служение. И проповедаша.
Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
21 И посла Ииуй во весь Израиль и рече, глаголя: и ныне вси раби Вааловы, и вси жерцы его, и вси пророцы его, да никтоже останется, яко жертву велику творю: иже останется, не будет жив и приидоша вси раби Вааловы, и вси жерцы его, и вси пророцы его: не остася муж, иже не прииде: и внидоша во храм Ваалов, и наполнися храм Ваалов от края да края.
Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that did not come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
22 И рече Ииуй к сущым над домом одежд: изнесите одежды всем рабом Вааловым. И изнесе им ризохранитель.
He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
23 И вниде Ииуй и Ионадав сын Рихавль в храмину Ваалову и рече рабом Вааловым: испытайте и видите, аще есть с вами от рабов Господних, и вышлите всех рабов Господних обретшихся тамо. И бысть якоже глагола Ииуй, яко не бе от рабов Господних, но токмо едини раби Вааловы.
Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”
24 И вниде сотворити жертвы и всесожжения и Ииуй постави себе вне осмьдесят мужей и рече: муж иже аще угонзет от мужей, ихже аз извожду в руки вашя, душа его вместо души его.
So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”
25 И бысть егда сконча творяй всесожжения, и рече Ииуй предтекущым и тристатом: вшедше избийте их, да не изыдет от них муж. И избиша их острием меча и повергоша предтекущии и тристаты, и идоша даже до града храма Ваалова:
As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
26 и изнесоша кумир Ваалов и сожгоша его:
They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burned them.
27 и разбиша кумиры Вааловы, и низвергоша дом Ваалов, и определиша его на афедрон даже до дне сего.
They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
28 И погуби Ииуй храм Ваалов от Израиля.
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Обаче от грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже введе в грех Израиля, не отступи Ииуй от последования их: юницы златыя, яже в Вефили и в Дане.
However, Jehu did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
30 И рече Господь ко Ииую: за сия, елика ублажил еси сотворити правое пред очима Моима, и вся елика по сердцу Моему сотворил еси дому Ахаавлю, сынове твои до четвертаго рода сядут на престоле во Израили.
The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
31 И Ииуй не сохрани ходити в законе Господни всем сердцем своим: не отступи от грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже в грех введе Израиля.
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
32 Во дни оны нача Господь посецати во Израили: и порази их Азаил во всех пределех Израилевых,
In those days the LORD began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel
33 от Иордана на восток солнца, всю землю Галаадску и Гаддииску, и Рувимову и Манассиину, от Ароира, иже есть при устии потока Арнонска, и Галаад и Васан.
from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34 И прочая словес Ииуевых, и вся яже сотвори, и вся сила его, и совещания, яже совеща, не се ли, сия написана в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 И успе Ииуй со отцы своими, и погребоша его в Самарии. И воцарися Иоахаз сын его вместо его.
Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
36 И дний бяше, в няже Ииуй царствова над Израилем в Самарии, двадесять осмь лет.
The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
