2 Kings 7
1 Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
И рече Елиссей: слышите слово Господне, сице глаголет Господь: якоже час сей, утро мера муки пшеничны будет за сикль един, и две меры ячменя за сикль един во вратех Самарии.
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
И отвеща тристат, на егоже руку царь почиваше, и рече и Елиссею: се, аще отверзет Господь и хляби небесныя, то не будет глагол сей. И Елиссей рече: се, ты узриши очима твоима, и оттуду не имаши ясти.
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
И бяху четыре мужа прокажени при вратех града. И рече муж ко искреннему своему: что мы седим зде дондеже умрем?
4 If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
Аще речем: внидем во град, то глад есть во граде, и умрем тамо: аще же седим зде, то и тако умрем: и ныне идем и внидем в полк Сирийский: аще живят ны, живи будем: аще ли умертвят ны, то умрем.
5 They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
И восташа в сумраце ити в полк Сирийский и внидоша среде полка Сирийска, и се, не бе мужа ту.
6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
И Господь слышан сотвори полку Сирийску глас колесниц и глас коней и глас силы великия. И рече муж ко брату своему: се, ныне наял есть на нас царь Израилев цари Хеттейски и цари Египетския приити на ны.
7 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
И восташа, и бежаша в сумраце, и оставиша сени своя и кони своя и ослы своя, якоже быша во стану, и бежаша души ради своея.
8 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
И внидоша прокаженнии сии до среды полка, и внидоша в сень едину, и ядоша и пиша, и взяша оттуду сребро и злато и одежды, и отидоша, и скрыша: и возвратишася, и внидоша в другую сень, и взяша оттуду, и отидоша, и скрыша.
9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
И рече муж ко искреннему своему: не тако мы творим: день сей день благоговещения есть, мы же молчим и медлим до света утренняго, и обрящем беззаконие: и ныне приидем и внидем, и возвестим в дому цареве.
10 So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
И внидоша, и возопиша ко вратом града и возвестиша им, глаголюще: внидохом в полк Сирийский, и се, не бысть ту мужа, ни гласа человеча, но токмо кони привязани, и ослята, и сени их якоже суть.
11 Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
И возопиша вратницы, и возвестиша в дому цареве внутрь.
12 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
И воста нощию царь и рече ко отроком своим: возвещу вам ныне, яже сотвориша нам Сириане: разумеша, яко гладни есмы, и изыдоша из стана, и сокрышася на селе, глаголюще: яко изыдут из града, и имем я живы и во град внидем.
13 One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
И отвеща един от отрок его и рече: да возмут ныне пять коней оставших, иже осташася зде, се, суть у толикаго множества Израилева оставшиися, и послем тамо, и узрим.
14 Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
И взяша два всадника коней: и посла царь Израилев вслед царя Сирска, глаголя: идите и видите.
15 They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
И идоша вслед их даже до Иордана, и се, весь путь исполнен одежд и оружия, яже повергоша Сириане, внегда устрашится им. И возвратишася посланнии, и возвестиша царю.
16 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.
И изыдоша людие, и разграбиша весь стан Сирский. И бысть мера муки пшеничны за сикль един и две меры ячменя за сикль, по глаголу Господню.
17 The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
И царь пристави тристата, на егоже руце царь почиваше, у врат: и попраша его людие во вратех, и умре, якоже глагола человек Божий, иже глагола, егда посланный прииде к нему.
18 It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
И бысть якоже рече Елиссей к царю глаголя: две меры ячменя за сикль един, и мера муки пшеничны за сикль: и будет якоже сей час заутра во вратех Самарии.
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
И отвеща тристат Елиссею и рече: аще Господь отверзет хляби небесныя, не будет глагол сей. И рече Елиссей: се, узриши очима твоима, и оттуду и не имаши ясти.
20 It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
И бысть тако, и попраша его людие во вратех, и умре.
