Вторая книга Паралипоменон 20
1 По сих же приидоша сынове Моавли и сынове Аммони и с ними от Амманитов ко Иосафату на брань.
After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.
2 Приидоша же и сказаша Иосафату, глаголюще: идет противу тебе велико множество от об он пол моря от Сирии, и се, стоят во Асасан-Фамаре, иже есть Енгадди.
Then some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).
3 И убояся, и вдаде Иосафат лице свое взыскати Господа, и проповеда пост во всей Иудеи.
Jehoshaphat was alarmed and set his face to seek the LORD. And he proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
4 И собрася весь Иуда взыскати Господа: и от всех градов Иудиных приидоша ко умолению Господню.
So the people of Judah gathered to seek the LORD, and indeed, they came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.
5 И ста Иосафат в собрании Иуды во Иерусалиме, в дому Господни пред лицем двора новаго,
Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the LORD in front of the new courtyard
6 и рече: Господи Боже отец наших, не Ты ли еси Бог на небеси горе, и Ты владычствуеши всеми царствы язык, и в руку Твоею есть крепость силы, и кто противостанет Тебе?
and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You.
7 Не Ты ли еси Бог наш искоренивый живущыя на земли сей от лица людий Твоих Израиля, и дал еси ю семени Авраамлю возлюбленному Твоему во веки?
Our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham Your friend?
8 И вселишася на ней, и устроиша в ней святыню имени Твоему, глаголюще:
They have lived in the land and have built in it a sanctuary for Your Name, saying,
9 аще нападут на ны злая, мечь, суд, губителство, глад, станем пред домом сим и пред Тобою, яко призвано имя Твое в дому сем, и возопием к Тебе от скорбей наших, и услышиши и спасеши:
‘If disaster comes upon us—whether sword or judgment, plague or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your Name is in this temple. We will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.’
10 и ныне се, сынове Аммони и Моавли и гора Сиир, сквозе яже не изволил еси Израилю проити, егда исхождаху от земли Египетския, но уклонишася от них и не избиша их:
And now, here are the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.
11 и се, ныне сии нападают на ны исходяще изгонити нас от наследия нашего, еже предал еси нам.
See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession that You gave us as an inheritance.
12 Господи Боже наш, не судиши ли им? В нас бо несть толика крепость, да можем сему множеству сопротивитися, еже нападе на ны, и не вемы что соделати имамы им: но токмо очи наши к Тебе.
Our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast army that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
13 И весь Иуда стояше пред Господем, и чада их, и жены их.
Meanwhile all the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, were standing before the LORD.
14 Бе же Иозиил сын Захариин, сынов Ванеа, сынов Елеила, сынов Мафаниа левитина, от сынов Асафовых, и бысть на нем Дух Господень посреде народа,
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from Asaph’s descendants, as he stood in the midst of the assembly.
15 и рече: слышите, весь Иуда и обитающии во Иерусалиме, и ты, царю Иосафате: сия рече Господь вам: не бойтеся, ниже ужасайтеся от лица народа сего многаго, несть бо ваше ополчение, но Божие:
And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
16 заутра изыдите противу их: се, восходят по восходу Ассис, и обрящете их на краи реки противу пустыни Иериил:
Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel.
17 не ваше есть воевати: сия разумейте и узрите сие спасение Господне с вами, Иудо и Иерусалиме: не убойтеся, ни ужасайтеся заутра изыти противу их, и Господь с вами.
You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
18 И преклонься Иосафат на лице свое, и весь Иуда, и обитающии во Иерусалиме, падоша пред Господем поклонитися Господеви.
Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship Him.
19 И восташа левити от сынов Каафовых и от сынов Кореовых, хвалити Господа Бога Израилева гласом великим в высоту.
And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, shouting in a very loud voice.
20 И заутра восташа рано и изыдоша в пустыню Фекое. И внегда исходити им, ста Иосафат (посреде их), и возопи и рече: услышите мя, мужие Иудины и вси обитающии во Иерусалиме: веруйте в Господа Бога нашего и уверитеся: веруйте пророку Его, и благопоспешится вам.
Early in the morning they got up and left for the Wilderness of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”
21 И советова с людьми, и постави псалмопевцы, и хвалящих исповедатися, и хвалити святая, внегда изыти пред силою, и глаголаху: исповедайтеся Господеви, яко благ, яко в век милость Его.
Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever.”
22 Егда же начаша хваления и исповедания, обрати Господь воевати сынов Аммоних на Моава и гору Сиир, изшедших на Иуду, и поражени быша.
The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
23 И восташа сынове Аммони и Моавли на обитающих в горе Сиири, да побиют их и сокрушат: и егда скончаша обитающих в Сиире, восташа друг на друга, да потребятся.
The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction. And when they had made an end to the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
24 Иуда же прииде на созирание от пустыни, и воззре, и виде множество: и се, вси мертви падше на землю, и не бе спасыйся.
When the men of Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
25 И изыде Иосафат и людие его взяти корысти их, и обретоша скота много, и одежды, и корысти, и сосуды дражайшыя и плениша их: и быша собирающе корысти их три дни, яко многи бяху.
Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to carry off the plunder, and they found on the bodies an abundance of goods and valuables —more than they could carry away. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there was so much.
26 Дне же четвертаго собрахуся во удоль благословения, ибо тако благословиша Господа: сего ради прозваша место то удоль благословения даже до сего дне.
On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.
27 И возвратишася вси мужие Иудины во Иерусалим и Иосафат вождь их с веселием великим: яко возвесели их Господь о вразех их.
Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.
28 И внидоша во Иерусалим со псалтирми и гусльми и трубами в дом Господень.
So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.
29 И бысть страх Господень на вся царства земная, внегда услышати им, яко порази Господь враги Израилевы.
And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 И умирися царство Иосафатово, и даде ему Господь покой окрест.
Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
31 И царствова Иосафат над Иудою, сый лет тридесяти пяти, егда царство прия и двадесять пять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Азува, дщи Салиина.
So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 И хождаше в путех отца своего Асы, и не уклонися от них творити правое пред Господем:
And Jehoshaphat walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
33 обаче высокая еще бяху, и еще людие не управиша сердца своего ко Господу Богу отец своих.
The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
34 Прочая же деяния Иосафатова первая и последняя, се, писана суть во словесех Ииуа сына Ананиина, иже написа книгу царей Израилевых.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
35 И по сих сообщися Иосафат царь Иудин со Охозиею царем Израилевым, и сей беззаконнова,
Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
36 занеже сотвори, и отиде к нему, да сотворят корабли, еже ити во Фарсис: и сотвори корабли в Гасион-Гавере.
They agreed to make ships to go to Tarshish, and these were built in Ezion-geber.
37 И пророчествова Елиезер сын Додиа от Марисиса на Иосафата, глаголя: понеже возимел еси любовь со Охозиею, сокруши Господь дело твое, и сокрушишася корабли твоя и не возмогоша поити во Фарсис.
Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” So the ships were wrecked and were unable to sail to Tarshish.
