2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
Двадцати пяти лет воцарился Амасия и двадцать девять лет царствовал в Иерусалиме; имя матери его Иегоаддань из Иерусалима.
2 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do them enthusiastically.
И делал он угодное в очах Господних, но не от полного сердца.
3 As soon as he was in complete control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
Когда утвердилось за ним царство, тогда он умертвил рабов своих, убивших царя, отца его.
4 But he did not command their sons to be executed; he obeyed what was in the laws that Moses had written. In those laws Yahweh had commanded, “People must not be executed because of [what] their children [have done], and children must not be executed for [what] their parents [have done]. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves have committed.”
Но детей их не умертвил, так как написано в законе, в книге Моисеевой, где заповедал Господь, говоря: не должны быть умерщвляемы отцы за детей, и дети не должны быть умерщвляемы за отцов, но каждый за свое преступление должен умереть.
5 Amaziah summoned the men of [the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin to come to Jerusalem, and there he put them in groups, each clan in a group by themselves. Then he appointed officers to command each group. Some officers commanded 100 men and some commanded 1,000 men. They counted the men who were at least 20 years old; altogether there were 300,000 men. They were all men who were prepared to be in the army, and able to [fight well, ] using spears and shields.
И собрал Амасия Иудеев и поставил их по поколениям под власть тысяченачальников и стоначальников, всех Иудеев и Вениамитян, и пересчитал их от двадцати лет и выше, и нашел их триста тысяч человек отборных, ходящих на войну, держащих копье и щит.
6 Amaziah also hired 100,000 capable soldiers from Israel and paid almost four tons of silver for them.
И еще нанял из Израильтян сто тысяч храбрых воинов за сто талантов серебра.
7 But a prophet came to him and said, “Your majesty, you must not allow those soldiers from Israel to march with your soldiers, because Yahweh does not help the people of the tribe of Ephraim or from [anywhere else in] Israel.
Но человек Божий пришел к нему и сказал: царь! пусть не идет с тобою войско Израильское, потому что нет Господа с Израильтянами, со всеми сынами Ефрема.
8 Even if your soldiers go and fight courageously in battles, God will cause your enemies to defeat you; do not forget that God has the power to help armies or to cause them to be defeated.”
Но иди ты один, делай дело, мужественно подвизайся на войне. Иначе повергнет тебя Бог пред лицем врага, ибо есть сила у Бога поддержать и повергнуть.
9 Amaziah asked that prophet, “If I do that, what about the huge amount of silver that I paid to hire those soldiers from Israel?” The prophet replied, “Yahweh is able to pay you back more money than you paid [to hire those soldiers].”
И сказал Амасия человеку Божию: что же делать со ста талантами, которые я отдал войску Израильскому? И сказал человек Божий: может Господь дать тебе более сего.
10 So Amaziah told those soldiers from Israel to return home. They left to go home, but they were very angry with the king of Judah [for not allowing them to stay and fight].
И отделил их Амасия, - войско, пришедшее к нему из земли Ефремовой, чтоб они шли в свое место. И возгорелся сильно гнев их на Иудею, и они пошли назад в свое место, в пылу гнева.
11 Then Amaziah became brave, and he led his army to the Salt Valley. There they killed 10,000 men from the Edom people-group.
А Амасия отважился и повел народ свой, и пошел на долину Соляную и побил сынов Сеира десять тысяч;
12 The army of Judah also captured 10,000 others, and took them to the top of a cliff and threw them all down over the cliff, with the result that their corpses were all smashed to pieces.
и десять тысяч живых взяли сыны Иудины в плен, и привели их на вершину скалы, и низринули их с вершины скалы, и все они разбились совершенно.
13 While that was happening, the soldiers from Israel whom Amaziah had sent home after not allowing them to fight along with his soldiers, raided cities and towns in Judea, from Samaria [city] to Beth-Horon [town]. They killed 3,000 people and took away a great amount of valuable things.
Войско же, которое Амасия отослал обратно, чтоб оно не ходило с ним на войну, рассыпалось по городам Иудеи от Самарии до Вефорона и перебило в них три тысячи, и награбило множество добычи.
14 When Amaziah returned [to Jerusalem] after his army had slaughtered the soldiers from Edom, he brought the idols that were worshiped by the people of Edom. He set them up to be his own gods. Then he bowed down to [worship] them and offered sacrifices to them.
Амасия, придя после поражения Идумеян, принес богов сынов Сеира и поставил их у себя богами, и пред ними кланялся и им кадил.
15 Because of that, Yahweh was very angry with Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you worship these foreign gods that were not even able to save their own people when your army attacked them?”
И воспылал гнев Господа на Амасию, и послал Он к нему пророка, и тот сказал ему: зачем ты прибегаешь к богам народа сего, которые не избавили народа своего от руки твоей?
16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “We certainly did not appoint you to be one of my advisors. So stop [talking]! If you say anything more, [I will tell my soldiers to] kill you!” So the prophet said, “I know that God has determined to get rid of you, because you have [begun to] worship idols, and have not heeded my advice.” Then the prophet said nothing more.
Когда он говорил ему, царь отвечал: разве советником царским поставили тебя? перестань, чтоб не убили тебя. И перестал пророк, сказав: знаю, что решил Бог погубить тебя, потому что ты сделал сие и не слушаешь совета моего.
17 Some time later Amaziah, the king of Judah, consulted his advisors. Then he sent a message to Jehoash, the king of Israel. He wrote, “Come here and let’s talk together.”
И посоветовался Амасия, царь Иудейский, и послал к Иоасу, сыну Иоахаза, сына Ииуева, царю Израильскому, сказать: выходи, повидаемся лично.
18 But Jehoash replied to King Amaziah, “One time a thistle growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree saying, ‘Let your daughter marry my son.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle under its feet.
И послал Иоас, царь Израильский, к Амасии, царю Иудейскому, сказать: терн, который на Ливане, послал к кедру, который на Ливане же, сказать: отдай дочь свою в жену сыну моему. Но прошли звери дикие, которые на Ливане, и истоптали этот терн.
19 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] you are saying to yourself that your army has defeated the army of Edom, so you have become very proud. But you should stay at your home. It would not be good for you to cause trouble, which would result in you and your kingdom of Judah being destroyed.”
Ты говоришь: вот я побил Идумеян, - и вознеслось сердце твое до тщеславия. Сиди лучше у себя дома. К чему тебе затевать опасное дело? Падешь ты и Иудея с тобою.
20 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. That happened because God wanted Jehoash’s army to defeat them, because they were worshiping the gods of Edom.
Но не послушался Амасия, так как от Бога было это, дабы предать их в руку Иоаса за то, что стали прибегать к богам Идумейским.
21 So Jehoash’s army attacked. Their two armies faced each other at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
И выступил Иоас, царь Израильский, и увиделись лично, он и Амасия, царь Иудейский, в Вефсамисе Иудейском.
22 The army of Judah was badly defeated by the army of Israel, and all the soldiers of Judah fled to their homes.
И были разбиты Иудеи Израильтянами, и разбежались каждый в шатер свой.
23 King Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there. Then he brought Amaziah to Jerusalem, and his soldiers tore down the wall [that was around the city], from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about 600 feet long.
И Амасию, царя Иудейского, сына Иоаса, сына Иоахазова, захватил Иоас, царь Израильский, в Вефсамисе и привел его в Иерусалим, и разрушил стену Иерусалимскую от ворот Ефремовых до ворот угольных, на четыреста локтей;
24 His soldiers also carried away the gold and silver and other valuable furnishings from the temple which the descendants of Obed-Edom had previously been guarding. They also took away the valuable things in the palace, and they took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
и взял все золото и серебро, и все сосуды, находившиеся в доме Божием у Овед-Едома, и сокровища дома царского, и заложников, и возвратился в Самарию.
25 King Jehoash of Israel died, and King Amaziah of Judah lived for 15 years after that.
И жил Амасия, сын Иоасов, царь Иудейский, по смерти Иоаса, сына Иоахазова, царя Израильского, пятнадцать лет.
26 An account of all the other things that Amaziah did while he was the king [of Judah] is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
Прочие дела Амасии, первые и последние, описаны в книге царей Иудейских и Израильских.
27 From the time that Amaziah started to disobey Yahweh, some men in Jerusalem planned to kill him. He was able to escape to Lachish [city], but those who wanted to kill him sent another group of people to Lachish and killed him there.
И после того времени, как Амасия отступил от Господа, составили против него заговор в Иерусалиме, и он убежал в Лахис. И послали за ним в Лахис, и умертвили его там.
28 They put his corpse on a horse and brought it back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors [had been buried] in the part of Jerusalem called ‘The City of David’.
И привезли его на конях, и похоронили его с отцами его в городе Иудином.
