Четвертая книга Царств 5

1 И Нееман князь силы Сирийския бе муж велий пред господином своим и дивен лицем, яко им даде Господь спасение Сирии: и муж бе силен крепостию прокажен.

Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.

2 И из Сирии изыдоша воини и плениша юнотку малу от земли Израилевы: и бе пред женою Неемановою (служа)

And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.

3 и рече госпоже своей: о, дабы господин мой был у пророка Божия, иже в Самарии, той бы очистил его и проказы его.

And she said to her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

4 И вниде и возвести господину своему и рече: тако и тако глагола юнотка, яже от земли Израилевы.

And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

5 И рече царь Сирийский ко Нееману: иди, вниди, и послю писание ко царю Израилеву. И пойде, и взя в руце свои десять талант сребра и шесть тысящ златник и десять изменяемых риз.

And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 И внесе писание к царю Израилеву глаголя: и ныне егда приидет писание сие к тебе, се, послах к тебе Неемана раба моего, да очистиши его от проказы его.

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come to you, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may recover him of his leprosy.

7 И бысть егда прочте писание царь Израилев, раздра ризы своя и рече: еда аз Бог есмь, еже мертвити и животворити, яко сей посла и мне, да очищу мужа от проказы его? Прочее разумейте и видите, яко се ищет вины ко мне.

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? why consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.

8 И бысть егда услыша Елиссеи, яко раздра ризы своя царь Израилев, и посла к царю Израилеву, глаголя: почто раздрал еси ризы твоя? Да приидет ко мне ныне Нееман, и да разумеет, яко есть пророк во Израили.

And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you rent your clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 И прииде Нееман на конех и на колесницех и ста при дверех дому Елиссеева.

So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 И посла Елиссей посланника к нему, глаголя: шед измыйся седмижды во Иордане, и возвратится плоть твоя к тебе, и очистишися.

And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.

11 И разгневася Нееман, и отиде, и рече: се, убо глаголах, яко изыдет ко мне, и станет, и призовет во имя Бога своего, и возложит руку свою на место, и очистит проказу:

But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 не благи ли Авана и Фарфар реки Дамасковы паче Иордана и всех вод Израилевых? Не шед ли измыюся в них и очишуся? И уклонися и отиде во гневе.

Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

13 И приближишася отроцы его и реша ему: аще бы велие слово глаголал пророк тебе, не бы ли сотворил еси? А яко рече к тебе: измыйся, и очистишися.

And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?

14 И сниде Нееман, и погрузися во Иордане седмижды, по глаголу Елиссееву: и возвратися плоть его яко плоть отрочате млада, и очистися.

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like to the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

15 И возвратися ко Елиссею сам и все ополчение его, и прииде и ста пред ним и рече: се, ныне разумех, яко несть Бога во всей земли, но токмо во Израили: и ныне приими благословение от раба твоего.

And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray you, take a blessing of your servant.

16 И рече Елиссей: жив Господь, Емуже предстах пред ним, аще прииму. И понуждаше его взяти, и не послуша.

But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

17 И рече Нееман: аще ли не (хощеши взяти), то даждь рабу твоему время, супруг мсков, от земли сея червленыя: яко и сотворит отселе раб твой всесожжения и жертвы богом иным, но Господу единому,

And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray you, be given to your servant two mules’ burden of earth? for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

18 по глаголу сему и о словеси сем: и очистит Господь раба твоего, егда внидет господин мой в дом Ремманов на поклонение тамо: и той почиет на руку моею, и поклонюся в дому Реммани, внегда кланятися ему в дому Реммани, и очистит Господь раба твоего по словеси сему.

In this thing the LORD pardon your servant, that when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.

19 И рече Елиссей ко Нееману: иди с миром. И отиде от него на Хаврафа земли.

And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

20 И рече Гиезий отрочищь Елиссеев: се, пощаде господин мой Неемана Сирянина сего, еже не взяти от руки его, яже принесе: жив Господь, яко имам тещи вслед его, и возму от него нечто.

But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 И тече Гиезий во след Нееманов. И виде его Нееман текуща вслед себе, и возвратися с колесницы на сретение ему и рече: мир ли?

So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

22 И рече Гиезий: мир: господин мой посла мя, глаголя: се, ныне приидоста ко мне два отрочища от горы Ефремли от сынов пророчих: даждь убо има талант сребра и две премены риз.

And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 И рече Нееман: возми два таланта сребра. И взя два таланта во два мешца и две премены риз, и возложи на два отрочиша своя, и несоста пред ним:

And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them on two of his servants; and they bore them before him.

24 и приидоша в сумраки, и взя от рук их и сокры во храмине, и отпусти мужы.

And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

25 И сам вниде и предста господину своему. И рече к нему Елиссей: откуду (пришел еси), Гиезие? И рече Гиезий: не исходил раб твой никаможе.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, From where come you, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went no where.

26 И рече к нему Елиссей: не ходило ли сердце мое с тобою, и видех, егда возвращашеся муж с колесницы своей во сретение тебе? И ныне взял еси сребро и ризы взял еси, да купиши за них вертограды и маслины и винограды, и овцы и волы, и отроки и отроковицы:

And he said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

27 и проказа Нееманова да прильпнет к тебе и к семени твоему во веки. И изыде от лица его прокажен яко снег.

The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall stick to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
