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 Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and 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 Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
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 saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
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.
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
5 И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии и ко Исаии.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
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 Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
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 will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by 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 Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
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 when he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Cush, Behold, he hath come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 да не возносит тя Бог твой, на негоже ты надеешися глаголя: не имать предан быти Иерусалим в руце и царя Ассирийска:
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 се, ты слышал еси вся, елика и сотвориша царие Ассирийстии всем землем, еже прокляти их, и ты ли избудеши?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying 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 delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Thelasar?
13 Где есть царь Емафов и царь и Арфадов? И где есть царь града Сепфаруима, Ана и Ава?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
14 И прият царь Езекиа книги от руки послов и прочте я: и вниде в храм Господень, и разгну их Езекиа пред Господем,
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and 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 Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of 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:
LORD, bow down thy ear, and hear: open, LORD, thy eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17 яко поистинне, Господи, опустошиша царие Ассирийстии языки,
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
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: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore 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.
Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
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.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
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 that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath 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 blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? even 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 hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down its tall cedar trees, and its choice fir trees: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
24 аз изсуших, и пиях воды чуждыя, и опустоших стопами ног моих вся реки окрестныя:
I have dug and drank strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged 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:
Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fortified cities in ruinous heaps.
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:
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blighted before it is grown up.
27 и седение твое, и исход твой, и вход твой разумех, и гнев твой на Мя,
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, 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 thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, 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, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of it.
30 и приложит спасшееся дому Иудова, оставшееся, корень доле, и сотворит плод горе,
And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 яко из Иерусалима изыдет останок, и спасаемый из горы Сиони: ревность Господа Сил сотворит сие.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts 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:
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
33 но путем, имже прииде темже возвратится, и во град сей не имать внити, глаголет Господь,
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
34 и защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и Давида ради раба Моего.
For I will defend this city, to save it, 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 that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred and eighty and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.
36 И воста, и отиде, и возвратися Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и вселися в Ниневию.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
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, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
