Книга Иисуса Навина 8
1 И рече Господь ко Иисусу: не бойся, ниже ужасайся: поими с собою вся мужы воинския, и востав взыди в Гай: се, предах в руце твои царя Гайска и землю его, и люди его и град его:
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. Take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
2 и да сотвориши Гаю и царю его, якоже сотворил еси Иерихону и царю его: и плен его и скоты его да плениши себе: устрой же себе подсаду граду за собою.
And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.
3 И воста Иисус и вси мужие воинстии, да внидут в Гай: и избра Иисус тридесять тысящ мужей воинских сильных крепостию и посла их нощию,
And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night.
4 и заповеда им, глаголя: вы скрыйтеся за градом: не далече будите от града зело, и будите вси готови:
And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready.
5 аз же и вси людие иже со мною приступим ко граду: и будет егда изыдут живущии в Гаи в сретение нам, якоже и прежде, и побегнем от лица их:
And I and all the people that are with me will approach to the city; and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
6 и егда изыдут вслед нас, отторгнем их от града: и рекут: бежат сии от лица нашего, якоже и прежде:
And they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first; and we will flee before them.
7 вы же востанете от подсады, и пойдете во град, и предаст его Господь Бог наш в руце ваши:
And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.
8 и будет егда возмете град, запалите его огнем, по словеси сему сотворите: се, заповедаю вам.
And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
9 И посла их Иисус, и идоша в подсаду: и седоша между Вефилем и между Гаием, от моря Гаиа.
And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.
10 И востав Иисус заутра, согляда люди: и взыде сам и старцы Израилтестии пред людьми в Гай.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 И вси людие воинстии с ним взыдоша, и идуще приидоша сопротив града от востоков: и подсады града от моря.
And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.
12 И ополчишася от севера Гаиа, и (бысть) дебрь между ими и между Гаием. И взя яко пять тысящ мужей, и положи их на подсаду между Вефилем и Гаием от запада Гаиа.
Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.
13 И поставиша людие весь полк от севера града, а прочая его от моря града. И пойде Иисус в нощь ону посреде дебри.
And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
14 И бысть егда увиде царь Гайский, потщася, и воста рано и изыде в сретение им прямо на брань, сам и вси людие его с ним во время, пред лицем подсады: он же не ведяше, яко подсада ему есть за градом (его).
And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
15 И увиде, и отиде Иисус и весь люд от лица их, и побеже путем пустыни,
And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.
16 и укрепися весь люд гнати вслед их, и погнаша вслед сынов Израилевых, и отступиша от града.
And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
17 (И) не остася никтоже в Гаи и Вефили, иже не погна вслед Израиля: и оставиша град отверст, и гнаша вслед Израиля.
And not a man remained in Ai and Bethel that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
18 И рече Господь ко Иисусу: простри руку твою с копием, еже в руце твоей, на град, зане в руку твою предах его: и подсады востанут вскоре от места своего. И простре Иисус руку свою и с копием на град.
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his hand toward the city.
19 И подсады восташа скоро от места своего: и изыдоша, егда простре руку, и внидоша во град, и взяша его: и потщавшеся запалиша град огнем.
And the ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand, and came into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
20 И озревшеся обитатели Гайстии вспять себе, узреша дым восходящь от града до небесе, и ктому не имеша камо побегнути, семо или овамо: людие же бегущии в пустыню обратишася на гонящих.
And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.
21 Иисус же и весь Израиль увидеша, яко взяша подсады град, и яко восходит дым градный до небесе: и обратившеся избиша мужей Гайских.
When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
22 И сии изыдоша из града противу им, и быша посреде полка Израилева, сии отсюду и сии отюнуду: и избиша их, дондеже не остася ни един от них цел, ни убежа.
And the others went out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until they let none of them escape or flee away.
23 И царя Гайска яша жива, и приведоша его ко Иисусу.
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
24 И бысть егда престаша сынове Израилевы секуще всех сущих в Гаи и сущих на полях и на горе исхода, идеже гониша их, и падоша вси острием меча на ней до конца: и обратися Иисус в Гай и посече их мечем.
And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 И быша вси падшии в той день от мужеска полу и до женска дванадесять тысящ, вси живущии в Гаи.
And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.
26 Иисус же не обрати руки своея, юже простре с копием, дондеже прокля всех обитающих в Гаи.
And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Кроме скотов (их) и имения, яже во граде онем, вся плениша себе сынове Израилевы по повелению Господню, якоже повеле Господь Иисусу.
Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.
28 И запали град Иисус огнем: землю необитаему во век положи его даже до сего дне.
And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.
29 И царя Гайска повеси на древе сугубем: и бяше на древе до вечера: и заходящу солнцу повеле Иисус, и сняша тело его с древа, и повергоша и в ров пред враты града: и насыпа над ним громаду велику камения даже до сего дне.
And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to this day.
30 Тогда созда Иисус олтарь Господу Богу Израилеву на горе Гевал,
Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
31 якоже заповеда Моисей раб Господень сыном Израилевым, и якоже написася в законе Моисеове, олтарь от камений всецелых, на нихже не возложися железо: и вознесе тамо всесожжения Господу и жертву спасения.
as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
32 И написа Иисус на камениих вторый закон, закон Моисеов, егоже написа пред сыны Израилевыми.
And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel.
33 И весь Израиль, и старцы их и судии их и книгочия их предходяху сюду и сюду пред кивотом, и жерцы и левити воздвизаша кивот завета Господня, пришелец же и туземец: иже быша половина их близ горы Гаризин, и половина их близ горы Гевал, якоже заповеда Моисей раб Господень благословити людий Израилевых в первых.
And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.
34 И по сих тако прочте Иисус вся словеса закона сего, благословения и клятвы, по всему написанному в законе Моисеове.
And afterwards he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
35 Не бяше словесе от всех, яже заповеда Моисей Иисусу, егоже не прочте Иисус во уши всего сонма сынов Израилевых, мужем и женам, и детем и пришелцем приходящым ко Израилю.
There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.
