Isaiah 37
1 When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
И бысть егда услыша царь Езекиа, растерза ризы и облечеся во вретище и вниде во храм Господень:
2 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.
и посла Елиакима домостроителя, и Сомну книгочия, и старейшины жречески оболчены во вретища ко Исаии пророку сыну Амосову.
3 They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
И рекоша ему: сия глаголет Езекиа: день печали и укоризны и обличения и гнева днешний день, понеже прииде болезнь раждающей, крепости же не имеет родити:
4 It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
да услышит Господь Бог твой словеса Рапсакова, яже посла царь Ассирийский, господин его, укаряти Бога живаго и поносити словесы, яже слыша Господь Бог твой, и да помолишися ко Господеви Богу твоему о оставшихся сих.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии ко Исаии.
6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
И рече им Исаиа: сице рцыте ко господину вашему: сия глаголет Господь: не убойся от словес, яже еси слышал, имиже укориша Мя послы царя Ассирийска:
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
се, Аз вложу в него дух, и услышав весть возвратится во страну свою и падет мечем на своей земли.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
И возвратися Рапсак и обрете царя Ассирийскаго облежаща Ловну: и услыша царь Ассирийск, яко отиде от Лахиса,
9 He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
и изыде Фарака царь Ефиопский воевати нань: и услышав возвратися и посла послы ко Езекии, глаголя:
10 “Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
сице рцыте Езекии царю Иудейску: да не прельщает Бог твой тебе, на Негоже уповая еси, глаголя, яко не предастся Иерусалим в руце царя Ассирийска:
11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
или не слышал еси ты, что сотвориша царие Ассирийстии, како всю землю погубиша, и ты ли избавишися?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
Еда избавиша сих бози язычестии, ихже погубиша отцы мои Гозан и Харран и Расем, иже суть во стране Феемафи?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
Где суть царие Емафовы, и где Арфафовы, и где града Епфаруема, Анагугана?
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
И взя Езекиа книгу от послов и прочте ю, и вниде во храм Господень и отверзе ю пред Господем.
15 Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
И помолися Езекиа ко Господеви, глаголя:
16 “LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
Господи Саваоф, Боже Израилев, седяй на Херувимех, Ты еси Бог един Царь всякаго царства вселенныя, Ты сотворил еси небо и землю:
17 Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
приклони, Господи, ухо Твое, услыши, Господи, отверзи, Господи, очи Твои, призри, Господи, и виждь и слыши вся словеса Сеннахиримля, яже посла укаряти Бога живаго:
18 Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
поистинне бо, Господи, пусту сотвориша царие Ассирийстии всю землю и страны их,
19 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.
и ввергоша кумиры их во огнь, не беша бо бози, но дела рук человеческих, древа и камение, и погубиша я:
20 Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
ныне же, Господи Боже наш, спаси ны от руки их, да уведят вся царствия земная, яко Ты еси (Господь) Бог един.
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
И послан бысть Исаиа сын Амосов ко Езекии и рече ему: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: слышах, о нихже молился еси ко Мне о Сеннахириме цари Ассирийстем.
22 this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
Сие слово, еже глагола о нем Бог: похули тя и поругася тебе девица дщи Сионя, на тя главою покива дщи Иерусалимля:
23 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
кого укорил и разгневал еси? Или к кому возвысил еси глас твой, и не воздвигл еси на высоту очес твоих? Ко Святому Израилеву!
24 By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
Яко послами укорил еси Господа, ты бо рекл еси: множеством колесниц аз взыдох на высоту гор и на последняя Ливана, и посекох высоту кедра его и доброту кипарисову, и внидох в высоту части дубравныя
25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
и положих мост, и опустоших воды и все собрание водное:
26 “‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
не слышал ли еси издревле сих, яже Аз сотворих? От древних дний совещах, ныне же показах опустошити языки в твердынех и живущыя во твердых градех:
27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
опустих руце, и изсхоша и быша аки сухо сено на кровех и аки троскот:
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
ныне же покой твой и исход твой и вход твой Аз вем,
29 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
ярость же твоя, еюже разгневался еси, и огорчение твое взыде ко Мне, и вложу брозду в ноздри твоя, и узду во уста твоя, и возвращу тя путем, имже еси пришел.
30 “‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
Сие же тебе знамение: яждь сего лета, еже еси всеял, а во второе лето, еже от себе растет: а в третие насеявше пожнете и насадите винограды и снесте плоды их:
31 The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
и будут оставшии во Иудеи, прорастят корение долу и сотворят в верх плод,
32 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will perform this.’
яко от Иерусалима будут оставшиися и спасшиися от горы Сиони: ревность Господа Саваофа сотворит сия.
33 “Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь на царя Ассирийска: не внидет в сей град, ниже пустит нань стрелу, ниже возложит нань щита, ниже оградит окрест его ограждения:
34 He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
но путем, имже прииде, темже возвратится, и во град сей не внидет. Сия глаголет Господь:
35 ‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и ради Давида раба Моего.
36 Then the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
И изыде Ангел Господень и изби от полка Ассирийска сто осмьдесят пять тысящ. И воставше заутра, обретоша вся телеса мертва.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
И отиде возвращься Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский и вселися во Ниневии.
38 As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
И внегда покланятися ему и в дому Насараху отечествоначалнику своему, Адрамелех и Сарасар сынове его убиста его мечьми, сами же убежаста во Армению. И воцарися Асордан сын его вместо его.
