Четвертая книга Царств 19
1 И бысть егда услыша царь Езекиа, и раздра ризы своя, и облечеся во вретище, и вниде в дом Господень.
And it came to pass when king Ezekias heard it, that he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth, an went into the house of the Lord.
2 И посла Елиакима строителя, и Сомнаса книгочиа и старейшины жерцев облечены во вретище ко Исаии пророку сыну Амосову.
And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests, clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the prophet the son of Amos.
3 И реша ему: сице глаголет Езекиа: день скорби и обличения и прогневания день сей, яко приидоша сынове даже до болезнорождения, и крепости несть раждающей:
And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias, This day [is] a day of tribulation, and rebuke, and provocation: for the children are come to the travail-[pangs], but the mother has no strength.
4 аще како послушает Господь Бог твой всех словес Рапсаковых, егоже и посла царь Ассирийский господин его поносити Богу живому и хулити словесы, ихже слыша Господь Бог твой, и приими молитву о останце обретающемся.
Peradventure the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rapsakes, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God and to revile him with the words which the Lord thy God has heard: and thou shalt offer [thy] prayer for the remnant that is found.
5 И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии и ко Исаии.
So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.
6 И рече им Исаиа: сице рцыте господину вашему: тако глаголет Господь: не убойся от лица словес, ихже слышал еси, имиже похулиша Мя отроцы царя Ассирийска:
And Esaias said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed.
7 се, Аз даю ему духа, и услышит возвещение и возвратится в землю и свою: и низложу его оружием в земли и его.
Behold, I send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land; and I will overthrow him with the sword in his own land.
8 И возвратися Рапсак и обрете и царя Ассирийска воююща на Ловну: услыша бо, яко отступи от Лахиса.
So Rapsakes returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Lobna: for he heard that he [had] departed from Lachis.
9 И слыша о Фараке цари Ефиопстем, глаголя: се, изыде ратоватися с тобою. И возвратися и посла послы ко Езекии, глаголя: тако рцыте Езекии царю Иудейску:
And he heard concerning Tharaca king of the Ethiopians, saying, Behold, he is come forth to fight with thee: and he returned, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
10 да не возносит тя Бог твой, на негоже ты надеешися глаголя: не имать предан быти Иерусалим в руце и царя Ассирийска:
Let not thy God on whom thou trustest encourage thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
11 се, ты слышал еси вся, елика и сотвориша царие Ассирийстии всем землем, еже прокляти их, и ты ли избудеши?
Behold, thou hast heard all that the kings of the Assyrians have done in all the lands, to waste them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Еда избавляюще избавиша их и бози языков, ихже расточиша отцы и мои, Гозану и Харану, и Фаресу и сыны Едомли, иже во Фалассаре?
Have the gods of the nations at all delivered them, whom my fathers destroyed; both Gozan, and Charran, and Raphis, and the sons of Edem who were in Thaesthen?
13 Где есть царь Емафов и царь и Арфадов? И где есть царь града Сепфаруима, Ана и Ава?
Where is the king of Haemath, and the king of Arphad? and where is the king of the city of Seppharvaim, of Ana, and Aba?
14 И прият царь Езекиа книги от руки послов и прочте я: и вниде в храм Господень, и разгну их Езекиа пред Господем,
And Ezekias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezekias spread it before the Lord,
15 и молися Езекиа пред Господем и рече: Господи Боже Израилев, седяй на Херувимех, Ты еси и Бог един бо всех царствиих земли, Ты сотворил еси небо и землю:
and said, O Lord God of Israel that dwellest over the cherubs, thou art the only god in all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
16 приклони, Господи, ухо Твое и услыши мя: отверзи, Господи, очи Твои и виждь, и услыши словеса Сеннахирима, яже посла поношая Тебе Богу живу:
Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear: open, Lord, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
17 яко поистинне, Господи, опустошиша царие Ассирийстии языки,
For truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have wasted the nations,
18 и даша боги их на огнь, яко не бози беша, но дела руку человечу, древа и камения, и погубиша я:
and have cast their gods into the fire: because they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
19 и ныне, Господи Боже наш, спаси ны из руки его, и уразумеют вся царствия земли, яко Ты еси Господь Бог един.
And now, O Lord our God, deliver us out of his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that thou alone [art] the Lord God.
20 И посла Исаиа сын Амосов ко Езекии, глаголя: тако глаголет Господь Бог Сил, Бог Израилев: слышах, о нихже молился еси ко Мне, о Сеннахириме царе Ассирийсте.
And Esaias the son of Amos sent to Ezekias, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, I have heard thy prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
21 Сие слово, еже глагола Господь на него: уничижи тя и поругася тебе девица и дщи Сионя, над тобою главою своею покива дщи Иерусалимля:
This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken against him; The virgin daughter of Sion has made light of thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.
22 кому поносил еси, и кого похулил еси? И на кого вознесл еси глас, и воздвигл еси на высоту очи твои? На Святаго Израилева.
Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou reviled? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice, and raised thine eyes on high? [Is it] against the Holy One of Israel?
23 Рукою послов твоих поносил еси Господу, и рекл еси: со множеством колесниц моих взыду аз на вышнюю часть горы Ливанския, и усеку величество от кедр ея и избранныя кипарисов ея, и прииду в средину чащи Кармилския:
By thy messengers thou has reproached the Lord, and hast said, I will go up with the multitude of my chariots, to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Libanus, and I have cut down the height of his cedar, [and] his choice cypresses; and I have come into the midst of the forest and of Carmel.
24 аз изсуших, и пиях воды чуждыя, и опустоших стопами ног моих вся реки окрестныя:
I have refreshed [myself], and have drunk strange waters, and I have dried up with the sole of my foot all the rivers of fortified places.
25 еда не слышал еси? Издавна ю сотворих, от дний первых создах ю и принесох ю: и бысть в холмы преселников воююших грады тверды:
I have brought about [the matter], I have brought it to a conclusion; and it is come to the destruction of the bands of warlike prisoners, [even of] strong cities.
26 и живущии в них изнемогоша рукою, сотрясошася и постыдешася, быша (яко) трава селная, или злачно былие, злак иже на зданиих, и попрания противу стоящаго:
And they that dwelt in them were weak in hand, they quaked and were confounded, they became [as] grass of the field, or [as] the green herb, the grass [growing on] houses, and that which is trodden down by him that stands [upon it].
27 и седение твое, и исход твой, и вход твой разумех, и гнев твой на Мя,
But I know thy down-sitting, and thy going forth, and thy rage against me.
28 занеже разгневался еси на Мя и шум твой вниде во ушы Мои, и вложу удицу Мою в ноздри твоя и бразду во устне твои, и возвращу тя по пути, имже пришел еси.
Because thou was angry against me, and thy fierceness is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hooks in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
29 И сие тебе знамение, (Езекие): яждь в сие лето прозябающая самородная, и в лето второе прозябающая, и в лето третие сейте семена и жните, садите винограды, и да ясте плод их:
And this shall be a sign to thee; eat this year the things that grow of themselves, and in the second year the things which spring up: and in the third year [let there be] sowing, and reaping, and planting of vineyards, and eat ye the fruit of them.
30 и приложит спасшееся дому Иудова, оставшееся, корень доле, и сотворит плод горе,
And he shall increase him that has escaped of the house of Juda: and the remnant [shall strike] root beneath, and it shall produce fruit above.
31 яко из Иерусалима изыдет останок, и спасаемый из горы Сиони: ревность Господа Сил сотворит сие.
For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and he that escapes from the mountain of Sion: the zeal of the Lord of host shall do this.
32 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь (Сил) на царя Ассирийска: не имать внити во град сей, и не имать устрелити нам стрелы, и не достигнет к нему щит, и не имать осыпати его землею:
[Is it] not so? Thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, neither shall a shield come against it, neither shall he heap a mound against it.
33 но путем, имже прииде темже возвратится, и во град сей не имать внити, глаголет Господь,
By the way by which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, saith the Lord.
34 и защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и Давида ради раба Моего.
And I will defend this city as with a shield, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
35 И бысть в нощь ону, и сниде Ангел Господнь и уби от полка Ассирийскаго сто осмьдесят и пять тысящ. И восташа заутра, и се, вся трупия мертва.
And it came to pass at night that the angel of the Lord went forth, an smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they rose early in the morning, and, behold, [these were] all dead corpses.
36 И воста, и отиде, и возвратися Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и вселися в Ниневию.
And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians departed, and went and returned, and dwelt in Nineve.
37 И бысть ему кланяющуся во храме Месераха бога своего, и Адрамелех и Сарасар сынове его убиста его мечем: сами же бежаста в землю Араратску. И воцарися Асордан сын его вместо его.
And it came to pass, while he was worshipping in the house of Meserach his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararath; and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
