Четвертая книга Царств 18
1 И бысть в лето третие Осии сына Илы царя Израилева, воцарися Езекиа сын Ахаза царя Иудина:
Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, 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.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3 И сотвори правое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвори отец его Давид:
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
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, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned 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, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
6 и прилепися Господеви, не отступи от Него, и сохрани заповеди Его, елики заповеда Моисей:
For he joined with the LORD. He didn’t depart 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:
The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
8 той победи иноплеменники даже до Газы и до предел ея, от столпа стрегущих и даже и града тверда.
He struck the Philistines 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,
In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, 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.
At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was 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:
The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, 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 didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
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.
Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” 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.
Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures 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, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, 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,
The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. 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.
When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
19 И рече к ним Рапсак: рцыте ныне ко Езекии: сице глаголет царь великий, царь Ассирийский: что упование сие, на неже уповаеши?
Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
20 Рекл еси: токмо словеса устен, совет и сила на брань: ныне убо на кого надежду отвергл еси мене?
You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled 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, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who 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 you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You 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, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on 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 can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your 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 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who 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, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to 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:
The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will 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:
Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given 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,
Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own 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 new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
33 еда избавляюще избавиша бози языков кийждо их свою страну из руки царя Ассирийска?
Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered 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, of Hena, and Ivvah? 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 stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
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 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
