Четвертая книга Царств 25
1 И бысть в лето девятое царства его, в месяц десятый, прииде Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и вся сила его на Иерусалим: и обступи его отвсюду, и создаша окрест его бойницы.
It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem. He camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
2 И бысть град во облежении до первагонадесять лета царства Седекиина, девятаго дне месяца:
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
3 и превозможе во граде глад, и не бысть хлеба людем земли тоя:
On the ninth day of the fourth month of that year, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
4 и разседеся град, и вси мужие воинстии изыдоша нощию путем врат, яже посреде стен, яже суть у вертограда царева, и Халдее окрест града (беша). И побеже (царь Седекиа) путем пустынным:
Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled at night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. The king went in the direction of the Arabah.
5 и погна сила Халдейская вслед царя, и яша его во Аравофе Иерихонстем, и вся сила его разсыпася от него:
But the army of Chaldeans pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
6 и пояша царя и поведоша его к царю Вавилонску в Ревлафу: и глагола с ним суд:
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed sentence on him.
7 и сыны Седекиины закла пред очима его, и очи Седекиины избоде, и связа его узами, и отведе его во Вавилон.
As for Zedekiah's sons, they slaughtered them before his eyes. Then he put out his eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon.
8 В месяц же пятый, в седмый день месяца, сие лето девятоенадесять Навуходоносора царя Вавилонска, прииде Навузардан архимагир, раб царя Вавилонскаго, во Иерусалим
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a servant of the king of Babylon and commander of his bodyguards, came to Jerusalem.
9 и зажже храм Господень и дом царев, и вся домы Иерусалимли и вся домы великия сожже архимагир:
He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
10 и стены Иерусалимли окрест раскопа сила Халдейская.
As for all the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were under the commander of the bodyguard destroyed them.
11 И останок людий избывших во граде и впадших, иже отпадоша ко царю Вавилонску, и прочее и утверждение пренесе Навузардан воевода.
As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the population—Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them away into exile.
12 И от нищих земли тоя остави архимагир винограды блюсти и вертограды.
But the commander of the bodyguard did leave some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 И столпы медяны в храме Господни, и подставы, и море медное сущее во храме Господни сокрушиша Халдее, и взяша медь их во Вавилон:
As for the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried the bronze back to Babylon.
14 и конобы, и котлы и фиалы, и кадилницы, и вся сосуды медяныя, в нихже служаху, взяша:
The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, spoons, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
15 и кадилницы, и фиалы златыя и сребряныя взя архимагир,
The pots for removing ashes and the bowls that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the captain of the king's guard took them away as well.
16 столпы два, и моря едино, и подставы, яже сотвори Соломон храму Господню: не бе веса меди всех сосудов.
The two pillars, the sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh contained more bronze than could be weighed.
17 Осминадесяти лакот бысть высота столпа единаго, и глава медяна на нем: и высота главе три лакти, и на главе мрежи и шипки окрест, вся медяна: по сему же и столп вторый со мрежею.
The height of the first pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was three cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around on the capital, all made of bronze. The other pillar and its latticework were the same as the first.
18 И поят архимагир Сареа жерца перваго и Софонию жерца втораго, и три стражы вратныя:
The commander of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
19 и от града взя скопца единаго, иже бе приставник над мужи военными, и пять мужей предстоящих пред лицем царевым, обретшихся во граде, и книгочиа князя силы, иже строяше люди земли тоя, и шестьдесят мужей людий земли тоя обретшихся во граде:
From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and five men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
20 и поят я Навузардан архимагир, и приведе я к царю Вавилонскому в Ревлафу.
Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 И порази их царь Вавилонский, и умори я в Ревлафе, в земли Емафове. И преселися Иуда свыше земли своея.
The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
22 И людие оставшиися в земли Иудове, ихже остави Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский, и постави над ними Годолию, сына Ахикамля, сына Сафаня.
As for the people who remained in the land of Judah, those whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he put Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, in charge of them.
23 И услышаша вси князи силы сами и мужие их, яко постави царь Вавилонский Годолию, и приидоша к Годолии в Массифу, и Исмаил сын Нафаниин, и Иоанан сын Карифов, и Сараиа сын Фанамафов Нетофафитский, и Иезониа сын Махаффов, сами и мужие их (приидоша).
Now when all the commanders of the soldiers, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah. These men were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maakathite—they and their men.
24 И клятся им Годолиа и мужем их и рече им: не бойтеся пришествия Халдеев: седите на земли и работайте царю Вавилонскому, и добро будет вам.
Gedaliah made an oath to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.”
25 И бысть в месяц седмый, прииде Исмаил сын Нафаниин сына Елисамля от семене царска, и десять мужей с ним, и порази Годолию, и умре, и Иудеев и Халдеев, иже с ним бяху в Массифе.
But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, came with ten men and attacked Gedaliah. Gedaliah died, along with the men of Judah and the Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.
26 И восташа вси людие, от мала и до велика, и князи сил, и внидоша во Египет, яко убояшася от лица Халдейска.
Then all the people, from the least to the greatest, and the commanders of the soldiers, arose and went to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
27 И бысть в лето тридесять седмое преселения Иоахина царя Иудина, в дванадесятый месяц, в двадесять седмый день месяца, вознесе Евилмародах царь Вавилонский, в лето царства своего, главу Иоахина царя Иудина, и изведе его из дому темницы его,
It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Awel-Marduk king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
28 и глагола с ним благая, и даде престол ему свыше престолов царей, иже бяху с ним в Вавилоне:
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 и измени ризы его темничныя, и ядяше хлеб с ним всегда, во вся дни живота своего.
Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life.
30 И пища его от дому царска давана бяше, и все изобилие во дни его, во вся дни живота его.
A regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.
