2 Kings 4
1 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves!”
И жена едина от сынов пророчих возопи ко Елиссею, глаголющи: раб твой муж мой умре, ты же веси, яко раб твой бе бояся Господа: и заимодавец прииде взяти два сына моя себе в рабы.
2 “How can I help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
И рече Елиссей: что сотворю ти? Повеждь ми, что имаши ныне в дому? Она же рече: несть у рабы твоея ничтоже в дому, токмо мало елеа, имже помажуся.
3 “Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.
И рече к ней: иди, испроси себе сосуды отвне от всех сосед твоих, сосуды праздны, не умали:
4 Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”
и вниди, и затвори дверь за собою и за сынома твоима, и влиеши (от елеа твоего) во вся сосуды сия, и наполненное возмеши.
5 So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.
И отиде от него и сотвори тако, и затвори дверь за собою и за сынома своима: та приношаста к ней, она же вливаше:
6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
и бысть егда наполнишася вси сосуды, и рече сынома своима: приближита ми еще сосуд. И реста ей: несть еще сосуда. И ста елей.
7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder.”
И прииде и возвести человеку Божию. И рече Елиссей: иди и продаждь сей елей, и заплати лихву твою, и ты и сына твоя жити будете от оставшаго елеа.
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.
И бысть во един день, и прейде Елиссей в Соман, и ту жена велия и удержа его снести хлеба: и бысть ему входити и исходити множицею, и уклоняшеся тамо ясти хлеба.
9 Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.
И рече жена к мужу своему: се, ныне разумех, яко человек Божий свят сей мимо ходит нас присно:
10 Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there.”
сотворим убо ему горницу, место мало, и поставим ему тамо одр и трапезу, и престол и свещник: и будет внегда входити ему к нам, и уклоняется тамо.
11 One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.
И бысть во един день, и вниде тамо, и уклонися в горницу, и спа тамо.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,
И рече ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: призови ми Соманитяныню сию. И призва ю, и ста пред ним.
13 and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.
И рече ему: рцы убо ей: се, удивила еси нас всем попечением сим: что подобает сотворити тебе? Аще есть тебе слово к царю или ко князю силы? Она же рече: (несть, ) посреде людий моих аз есмь живущи.
14 So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”
И рече ко Гиезию: что подобает сотворити ей? И рече Гиезий отрочищь его: воистинну сына несть у нея и муж ея стар.
15 “Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
И рече призови ю. И призва ю, и ста при дверех.
16 And Elisha declared, “At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord,” she said. “Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God.”
И рече Елиссей к ней: во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, ты зачнеши сына. Она же рече: ни, господине, не солжи рабе твоей.
17 But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
И зачат во чреве жена, и роди сына во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, якоже глагола к ней Елиссей.
18 And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.
И возмужа отрочищь. И бысть, егда изыде ко отцу своему, к жнущым,
19 “My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
и рече ко отцу своему: глава моя, глава моя (болит). И рече ко отроку: неси его к матери его.
20 After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
И несе его к матери его, и лежаше на колену ея до полудне, и умре.
21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.
И вознесе его, и положи его на одре человека Божия: и затвори его, и изыде, и призва мужа своего, и рече ему:
22 And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”
посли ми убо единаго от отрок, и едино от ослят, и теку до человека Божия, и возвращуся.
23 “Why would you go to him today?” he replied. “It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” “Everything is all right,” she said.
И рече: что яко ты идеши к нему днесь? Не нов месяц, ниже суббота. Она же рече: мир.
24 Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”
И оседла осля, и рече ко отрочищу своему: веди, и иди, да не удержиши мене, еже всести, якоже реку тебе: гряди, и иди, и прииди к человеку Божию на гору Кармилскую.
25 So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
И иде, и прииде до человека Божия в гору Кармилскую. И бысть яко виде ю Елиссей грядущую, и рече ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: се, убо Соманитяныня оная:
26 Please run out now to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” And she answered, “Everything is all right.”
ныне тецы во сретение ея и речеши ей: мир ли тебе? И тече во сретение ей и рече ей: мир ли тебе? Мир ли мужу твоему, мир ли отрочищу твоему? Она же рече: мир.
27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
И прииде ко Елиссею на гору, и ятся за нозе его. И приближнся Гиезий отринути ю. И рече Елиссей: остави ю, яко душа ея болезненна в ней, и Господь укры от мене и не возвести мне.
28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”
Она же рече: еда просих сына у господина моего, яко рекох: не прельсти мене?
29 So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment, take my staff in your hand, and go! If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Then lay my staff on the boy’s face.”
И рече Елиссей ко Гиезию: препояши чресла твоя и возми жезл мой в руце твои, и иди, яко аще обрящеши мужа, да не благословиши его, и аще благословит тя муж, не отвещай ему: и возложи жезл мой на лице отрочища.
30 And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.
И рече мати отрочища: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И воста Елиссей и иде вслед ея.
31 Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So he went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”
И Гиезий иде пред нею, и возложи жезл на лице отрочища, и не бе гласа, и не бе слышания. И возвратися во сретение его и поведа ему глаголя: не воста отрочищь.
32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.
И вниде Елиссей в храмину, и се, отрочищь умерый положен на одре его.
33 So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.
И вниде Елиссей в дом и затвори дверь за двою собою, и помолися Господу.
34 Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm.
И взыде, и ляже на отрочищи, и положи уста своя на устех его, и очи свои на очи его, и руце свои на руце его, и плесне свои на плесну его: и слячеся над ним, и дуну на него, и согреся плоть отрочища.
35 Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
И обратися, и походи в храмине сюду и сюду: и взыде, и слячеся над отрочищем седмижды, и отверзе отрочищь очи свои.
36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”
И возопи Елиссей ко Гиезию и рече: призови ми Соманитяныню сию. И призва ю, и вниде к нему. И рече Елиссей: приими сына твоего.
37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.
И вниде жена, и паде на ногу его, и поклонися ему до земли: и прият сына своего, и изыде.
38 When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, he said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”
И Елиссей возвратися в Галгалы. И бе глад в земли той, и сынове пророчи седяху пред ним. И рече Елиссей отрочищу своему: настави коноб велий и свари варение сыном пророчим.
39 One of them went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were.
И изыде един на село собрати зелия дивия: и обрет виноград на селе, и набра в нем яблока дивияго полну ризу свою, и всыпа в котел на сварение, яко не разумеша,
40 And they poured it out for the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they cried out, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” And they could not eat it.
и принесе мужем ясти. И бысть ядущым им от варения, и се, возопиша и реша: смерть в конобе, человече Божий. И не могоша ясти.
41 Then Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
И рече: возмите муки и всыплите в коноб. И рече Елиссей ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: изнеси людем, да ядят. И не бысть ктому злаго глагола в конобе.
42 Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
И муж прииде от Вефариса и принесе к человеку Божию первородных двадесять хлебов ячменных и смоквы. И рече: дадите людем, да ядят.
43 But his servant asked, “How am I to set twenty loaves before a hundred men?” “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the LORD says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”
И рече отрок его: что дам сие сту мужем? И рече: даждь людем я, да ядят, яко сице глаголет Господь: будут ясти, и останет.
44 So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
И ядоша, и оста по глаголу Господню.
