Kings III 18
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Eliu in the third year, saying, Go, and appear before Achaab, and I will bring rain upon the face of the earth.
И бысть по днех мнозех, и глагол Господень бысть ко Илии в лето третие глаголя: иди и явися Ахааву, и дам дождь на лице земли.
2 And Eliu went to appear before Achaab: and the famine [was] severe in Samaria.
И иде Илиа ко Ахааву явитися, и бе глад крепок в Самарии.
3 And Achaab called Abdiu the steward. Now Abdiu feared the Lord greatly.
И призва Ахаав Авдиа строителя дому: и Авдий бе бояся Господа зело.
4 And it came to pass when Jezabel struck the prophets of the Lord, that Abdiu took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.
И бысть егда нача избивати Иезавель пророки Господни, и взя Авдий сто мужей пророки и скры я по пятидесяти во двоих вертепех и кормяше их хлебом и водою.
5 And Achaab said to Abdiu, Come, and let us go through the land, and to the fountains of water, and to the brooks, if by any means we may find grass, and may save the horses and mules, and so they will not perish from the tents.
И рече Ахаав ко Авдию: гряди, и прейдем на землю, и на источники водныя, и на вся потоки, да негли како обрящем былие и прекормим кони и мски, да не изгибнут от скот.
6 And they made a division of the way between them to pass through it: Achaab went one way, and Abdiu went by another way alone.
И разделиша себе путь ити по нему: Ахаав иде путем единым един, и Авдий иде путем другим един.
7 And Abdiu was alone in the way; and Eliu came alone to meet him: and Abdiu hasted, and fell upon his face, and said, My lord Eliu, are you [indeed] he?
И бе Авдий един на пути: и прииде Илиа на сретение ему един. И Авдий потщася, и паде на лице свое и рече: ты ли еси сам, господи мой Илие?
8 And Eliu said to him, I [am]: go say to your master, Behold, Eliu [is here].
И рече Илиа ко Авдию: аз есмь: иди и повеждь господину твоему, глаголя: се, Илиа.
9 And Abdiu said, What sin have I committed, that you give your servant into the hand of Achaab to kill me?
И рече Авдий: что согреших аз, яко предаеши раба твоего в руце Ахаавли еже умертвити мя?
10 [As] the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom, whither my lord has not sent to seek you; and if they said, He is not [here], then has he set fire to the kingdom and its territories, because he has not found you.
Жив Господь Бог твой, аще есть язык или царство, аможе не посла господин мой искати тебе: и реша, несть: и закля царство и страны его, яко не обрете тебе:
11 And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Eliu [is here].
и ныне ты глаголеши ми: иди, возвести господину твоему: се, Илиа:
12 And it shall come to pass when I shall have departed from you, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry you to a land which I know not, and I shall go in to tell the matter to Achaab, and he will not find you and will kill me: yet your servant fears the Lord from his youth.
и будет егда аз отиду от тебе, и Дух Господень возмет тя в землю, еяже не вем, и вниду возвестити Ахааву, и не обрящет тебе, и убиет мя: раб же твой есть бояйся Господа от юности своея:
13 Has it not been told to you my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
или не возвестися тебе господину моему, яже сотворих, егда убиваше Иезавель пророки Господни, и сокрых пророки Господни сто мужей, по пятидесяти в вертепе, и кормих их хлебом и водою?
14 And now you say to me, Go, say to your master, Behold, Eliu [is here]: and he shall kill me.
И ныне ты глаголеши ми: иди, повеждь господину твоему: се, Илиа: и убиет мя.
15 And Eliu said, [As] the Lord of Hosts before whom I stand lives, today I will appear before him.
И рече Илиа: жив Господь Сил, емуже предстою пред Ним, яко днесь покажуся ему.
16 And Abdiu went to meet Achaab, and told him: and Achaab hasted forth, and went to meet Eliu.
И иде Авдий во сретение Ахааву и возвести ему. И ускори Ахаав и иде во сретение Илии.
17 And it came to pass when Achaab saw Eliu, that Achaab said to Eliu, Are you he that perverts Israel?
И бысть егда узре Ахаав Илию, и рече Ахаав ко Илии: ты ли еси развращаяй Израиля?
18 And Eliu said, I do not pervert Israel; but it is you and your father's house, in that you forsake the Lord your God, and you have gone after Baalim.
И рече Илиа: не развращаю аз Израиля, но разве ты и дом отца твоего, егда остависте вы Господа Бога вашего и идосте вслед Ваала:
19 And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of shame four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, that eat [at] Jezabel's table.
и ныне посли и собери ко мне всего Израиля на гору Кармилскую, и пророки студныя Вааловы четыреста и пятьдесят, и пророков дубравных четыреста, ядущих трапезу Иезавелину.
20 And Achaab sent to all Israel, and gathered all the prophets to mount Carmel.
И посла Ахаав во весь Израиль, и приведе вся пророки на гору Кармилскую.
21 And Eliu drew near to them all: and Eliu said to them, How long will you halt on both feet? if the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him. And the people answered not a word.
И приведе ко всем им Илию, и рече им Илиа: доколе вы храмлете на обе плесне вашы? Аще есть Господь Бог, идите вслед Его: аще же Ваал есть, то идите за ним. И не отвещаша людие словесе.
22 And Eliu said to the people, I am left, the only one prophet of the Lord; and the prophets of Baal [are] four hundred and fifty men, and the prophets of the groves four hundred.
И рече Илиа к людем: аз остах пророк Господень един: и пророцы Вааловы четыреста и пятьдесят мужей, и пророков дубравных четыреста.
23 Let them give us two oxen, and let them choose one for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire [on] the wood: and I will dress the other bullock, and put on no fire.
(И рече Илиа: ) да дадят нам два вола, и да изберут себе единаго, и да растешут и (на уды), и возложат на дрова, и да не возгнетят огня: и аз растешу вола другаго, и возложу на дрова, и огня не возгнещу:
24 And do you call loudly on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord my God, and it shall come to pass that the God who shall answer by fire, he [is] God. And all the people answered and said, The word which you have spoken [is] good.
и да призовете имена богов ваших, и аз призову имя Господа Бога моего: и будет Бог, Иже аще послушает огнем, Той есть Бог. И отвещаша вси людие и реша: добр глагол (Илиин), егоже глагола (да будет тако).
25 And Eliu said to the prophets of shame, Choose to yourselves one calf, and dress it first, for you [are] many; and call you on the name of your god; but apply no fire.
И рече Илиа пророком студным: изберите себе юнца единаго, и сотворите вы прежде, яко вас есть множество: и призовите имена богов ваших, и огня не возгнещайте.
26 And they took the calf and dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning till noon, and said, hear us, O Baal, hear us. And there was no voice, neither was there hearing, and they ran up and down on the altar which they [had] made.
И пояша юнца, и сотвориша (тако), и призываху имя Ваалово от утра до полудне, и реша: послушай нас, Ваале, послушай нас. И не бе гласа, ни послушания. И ристаху около жертвенника, егоже сотвориша.
27 And it was noon, and Eliu the Thesbite mocked them, and said, Call with a loud voice, for he is a god; for he is meditating, or else perhaps he is engaged in business, or perhaps he is asleep, and is to be awaked.
И бысть в полудне, и поругася им Илиа Фесвитянин и рече: зовите гласом великим, яко бог есть, яко непраздность ему есть, и негли что ино строит, или спит сам, и востанет.
28 And they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves according to their custom with knives and lancets until the blood gushed out upon them.
И зовяху гласом великим, и крояхуся по обычаю своему ножами, и мнози бишася бичми, до пролития крове своея,
29 And they prophesied until the evening came; and it came to pass as it was the time of the offering of the sacrifice, that Eliu the Thesbite spoke to the prophets of the abominations, saying, Stand by for the present, and I will offer my sacrifice. And they stood aside and departed.
и прорицаху, дондеже прейде вечер: и бысть егда прииде время взыти жертве, и не бе гласа, ниже послушания. И рече Илиа Фесвитянин пророком студным, глаголя: отступите ныне, да и аз сотворю жертву мою. И отступиша тии, и умолкнуша.
30 And Eliu said to the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him.
И рече Илиа к людем: приступите ко мне. И приступиша вси людие к нему.
31 And Eliu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of Israel, as the Lord spoke to him, saying, Israel shall be your name.
И взя Илиа дванадесять камений по числу колен Израилевых, якоже глагола к нему Господь, глаголя: Израиль будет имя твое.
32 And he built up the stones in the name of the Lord, and repaired the altar that had been broken down; and he made a trench that would hold two measures of seed round about the altar.
И созда камение во имя Господне, и изцели олтарь раскопанный, и сотвори море вмещающее две меры семене окрест олтаря.
33 And he piled the cleft wood on the altar which he [had] made, and divided the whole burnt offering, and laid [it] on the wood, and laid [it] in order on the altar, and said, Fetch me four pitchers of water, and pour [it] on the whole burnt offering, and on the wood. And they did so.
И воскладе дрова на олтарь, егоже сотвори, и растеса на уды всесожегаемая, и возложи на дрова, и воскладе на олтарь.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
И рече Илиа: принесите ми четыри водоносы воды, и возливайте на всесожжение и на полена. И сотвориша тако. И рече: удвойте. И удвоиша. И рече: утройте. И утроиша.
35 And the water ran round about the altar, and they filled the trench with water.
И прохождаше вода окрест олтаря, и море исполнися воды.
36 And Eliu cried aloud to the heaven, and said, Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, answer me, O Lord, answer me this day by fire, and let all this people know that you are the Lord, the God of Israel, and I [am] your servant, and for your sake I have wrought these works.
И возопи Илиа на небо и рече: Господи Боже Авраамов и Исааков и Иаковль, послушай мене, Господи, послушай мене днесь огнем, и да уразумеют вси людие сии, яко Ты еси Господь един Израилев, и аз раб Твой, и Тебе ради сотворих дела сия:
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, and let this people know that you are the Lord God, and you have turned back the heart of this people.
послушай мене, Господи, послушай мене огнем, и да разумеют вси людие сии, яко Ты еси (един) Господь Бог, и Ты обратил еси сердца людий сих вслед Тебе.
38 Then fire fell from the Lord out of heaven, and devoured the whole burnt offerings, and the wood and the water that was in the trench, and the fire licked up the stones and the earth.
И спаде огнь от Господа с небесе, и пояде всесожегаемая, и дрова, и воду, яже в мори, и камение и персть полиза огнь.
39 And all the people fell upon their faces, and said, Truly the Lord [is] God; he [is] God.
И падоша вси людие на лице свое и реша: воистинну Господь Бог Той есть Бог.
40 And Eliu said to the people, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Eliu brings them down to the brook Kisson, and he killed them there.
И рече Илиа к людем: поимайте пророки Вааловы, да ни един скрыется от них. И яша их, и веде я Илиа на поток Киссов, и закла их тамо.
41 And Eliu said to Achaab, Go up, and eat and drink, for [there is] a sound of the coming of rain.
И рече Илиа ко Ахааву: взыди, и яждь и пий, яко глас есть дождевнаго хождения.
42 And Achaab went up to eat and to drink; and Eliu went up to Carmel, and stooped to the ground, and put his face between his knees,
И взыде Ахаав ясти и пити. Илиа же взыде на Кармил, и преклонися на землю, и положи лице свое между коленома своима,
43 and said to his servant, Go up, and look towards the sea. And the servant looked, and said, There is nothing: and Eliu said, Do you then go again seven times.
и рече отрочищу своему: взыди и воззри на путь морский. И взыде, и воззре отрочищь, и рече: несть ничтоже. И рече Илиа: и ты обратися седмижды.
44 And the servant went again seven times: and it came to pass at the seventh time, that, behold, a little cloud like the sole of a man's foot brought water; and he said, Go up, and say to Achaab, make ready your chariot, and go down, lest the rain overtake you.
И обратися отрочищь седмижды: и бысть в седмое, и се, облак мал, аки след ноги мужеския, возносящь воду из моря. И рече: взыди и рцы Ахааву: впрязи колесницу твою и сниди, да не постигнет тебе дождь.
45 And it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Achaab wept, and went to Jezrael.
И бысть до зде и до зде, и небо примрачися облаки и духом, и бысть дождь велий. И плакася, и иде Ахаав до Иезраеля.
46 And the hand of the Lord [was] upon Eliu, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achaab to Jezrael.
И рука Господня бысть на Илии, и стягне чресла своя, и тече пред Ахаавом во Иезраель.
