Четвертая книга Царств 18
1 И бысть в лето третие Осии сына Илы царя Израилева, воцарися Езекиа сын Ахаза царя Иудина:
Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 сын двадесяти пяти лет бе егда нача царствовати, и двадесять девять леть царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Авуфа дщи Захариина.
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
3 И сотвори правое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвори отец его Давид:
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
4 той разруши высокая, и сокруши вся капища, и искорени дубравы и змию медяную, юже сотвори Моисей, яко и до дний тех сынове Израилевы беху кадяще ей: и назва имя ей Неестан.
He removed the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the groves, and broke in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for till those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
5 На Господа Бога Израилева упова, и но нем не бысть подобен ему в царех Иудиных и в бывших прежде его:
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
6 и прилепися Господеви, не отступи от Него, и сохрани заповеди Его, елики заповеда Моисей:
For he clung to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
7 и бе Господь с ним, и во всех, яже творяше, смысляше. И сопротивися царю Ассирийскому и не поработа ему:
And the LORD was with him; and he prospered wherever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
8 той победи иноплеменники даже до Газы и до предел ея, от столпа стрегущих и даже и града тверда.
He smote the Philistines, even to Gaza, and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
9 И бысть в лето четвертое царя Езекии, сие же лето седмое Осии, сыну Илы, царю Израилеву, взыде Саламанассар царь Ассирийск на Самарию и обседе ю,
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 и взя ю при концы триех лет, в шестое лето Езекиево, сие лето девятое Осии царя Израилева, и пленена бысть Самариа.
And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11 И преведе царь Ассирийский Самаряны во Ассирию, и посади я на Алаи и на Аворе, реках Гозанских, и в пределех Мидских:
And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
12 понеже не послушаша гласа Господа Бога своего и преступиша завет Его, вся елика заповеда Моисей раб Господень, и не послушаша, и не сотвориша.
Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
13 И в четвертоенадесять лето царя Езекии, взыде Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский на грады Иудины твердыя и взят я.
Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
14 И посла Езекиа царь Иудин послы к царю Ассирийску в Лахис, глаголя: согреших, возвратися от мене: еже аще возложиши на мя, то понесу. И возложи царь Ассирийский на Езекию царя Иудина триста талант сребра и тридесять талантов злата.
And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; withdraw from me: that which thou puttest on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 И даде Езекиа все сребро обретшееся в дому Господни и в сокровищих дому царева.
And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasuries of the king’s house.
16 Во время оно ссече Езекиа царь Иудин двери храма Господня и утвержения, яже позлати Езекиа царь Иудин, и даде их царю Ассирийску.
At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17 И посла царь Ассирийск Фарфана и Равосаиа и Рапсака от Лахиса на Иерусалим к царю Езекии с силою тяжкою зело. И взыдоша, и приидоша ко Иерусалиму, и сташа у водотечи купели вышния, яже есть на пути села белилнаго,
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
18 и возопиша ко Езекии. И изыде к ним Елиаким сын Хелкиев строитель, и Сомнас книгочий, и Иоас сын Сафатов воспоминатель.
And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 И рече к ним Рапсак: рцыте ныне ко Езекии: сице глаголет царь великий, царь Ассирийский: что упование сие, на неже уповаеши?
And Rabshakeh said to them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which thou trustest?
20 Рекл еси: токмо словеса устен, совет и сила на брань: ныне убо на кого надежду отвергл еси мене?
Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words, ) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now in whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
21 Ныне с, надеешися ты на жезл тростяный сломленый сей, на Египет ли? Наньже аще опрется муж, внидет в руку его и пронзет ю: тако фараон царь Египетский всем надеющымся нань:
Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man leaneth, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
22 и аще мне речете: на Господа Бога надеемся: не той ли сей, егоже и отстави Езекиа высокая его и жертвенники его, и рече Иуде и Иерусалиму: поклонитеся пред жертвенником сим во Иерусалиме?
But if ye say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
23 И ныне соединитеся с господином моим царем Ассирийским, и дам тебе две тысящы коней, аще можеши имети всадники на ня:
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou shalt be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
24 и како отвратиши лице топарха единаго от рабов господина моего малейших, и уповал еси сам на Египет, на колесницы и кони?
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25 И ныне убо еда без Господа взыдохом на место сие, еже потребити и рече бо Господь ко мне: взыди на землю сию и потреби ю.
Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
26 И рече Елиаким сын Хелкиин и Сомнас и Иоас ко Рапсаку: глаголи ныне ко отроком твоим сирски, яко слышим мы, а не глаголи к нам иудейски, и почто глаголеши во ушы людий, иже на стене?
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
27 И рече к ним Рапсак: еда к господину твоему и к тебе посла мя господин мой глаголати словеса сия? Не к мужем ли седящым на стене, еже ясти им гной свой и пити им сечь свою с вами вкупе?
But Rabshakeh said to them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?
28 И ста Рапсак, и возопи гласом великим иудейски, и глагола, и рече: слышите словеса великаго царя Ассирийска:
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
29 сице глаголет царь: да не возносит вас царь Езекиа словесы, понеже не возможет вас изяти из руки моея:
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
30 и да не обнадеживает вас Езекиа Господем, глаголя: изимая измет вы Господь, и не имать предатися град сей в руце царя Ассирийска:
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
31 не послушайте Езекии, яко сице глаголет царь Ассирийский: сотворите со мною благословение и изыдите ко мне, и да пиет муж от винограда своего, и муж вкусит от смоквей своих, и да пиет воду от рова своего,
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
32 дондеже прииду и поиму вы в землю (такову) якоже земля ваша, земля пшеницы и вина, и хлебов и виноградов, земля масличин елеа и меда, и живи будете и не умрете: и не послушайте Езекии, яко прельщает вы, глаголя: Господь ны избавит:
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not to Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
33 еда избавляюще избавиша бози языков кийждо их свою страну из руки царя Ассирийска?
Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Где есть бог Емафа и Арфада? Где есть бог Сепфаруима, Ана и Ава? Еда избавиша Самарию из руку моею?
Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35 Кто во всех бозех земных, иже избавиша земли и от руки моея? И како измет Господь Иерусалима из руки моея?
Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
36 И умолкоша людие и не отвещаша ему слова, яко заповеда им царь глаголя: не отвещайте ему.
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
37 И вниде Елиаким сын Хелкиин строитель, и Сомнас книгочий, и Иоас сын Сафатов воспоминатель ко Езекии, раздравше ризы своя, и возвестиша ему словеса Рапсакова.
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
