< Kings I 6 >
1 And the ark was seven months in the country of the Philistines, and their land brought forth swarms of mice.
И бе кивот Господень на селе иноплеменников седмь месяц: и воскипе земля их мышами.
2 And the Philistines call their priests, and their prophets, and their enchanters, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? teach us wherewith we shall send it away to its place.
И призваша иноплеменницы жерцев и волхвов и обаянников своих, глаголюще: что сотворим кивоту Господню? Скажите нам, како послем его на место его?
3 And they said, If you send away the ark of the covenant of the Lord God of Israel, do not on any account send it away empty, but by all means render to it an offering for the plague; and then shall you be healed, and an atonement shall be made for you: should not his hand be [thus] stayed from off you?
И реша: аще отпущаете вы кивот завета Господа Бога Израилева, да не послете его тща, но отдающе отдадите Ему за муки (дары), и тогда исцелитеся, и умилостивится вам: еда ли не отступит рука Его от вас?
4 And they say, What [is] the offering for the plague [which] we shall return to it? and they said,
И глаголаша: что Ему за муки отдадим? И реша: по числу воевод и иноплеменничих пять седалищ златых и пять мышей златых, яко прегрешения в вас и в князех ваших и в людех:
5 According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden tumours, for the plague was on you, and on your rulers, and on the people; and golden mice, the likeness of the mice that destroy your land: and you shall give glory to the Lord, that he may lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
и сотворите подобие седалищ ваших и подобие мышей ваших, растлевающих землю, и воздадите славу Богу (Израилеву), яко да облегчит руку Свою от вас и от богов ваших и от земли вашея:
6 And why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? [was it] not [so] when he mocked them, [that] they let the people go, and they departed?
и почто отягощаете сердца ваша, якоже отягчи Египет и фараон сердце свое? Не егда ли поругася им, отпусти их, и отидоша?
7 And now take wood and make a new wagon, and take two cows, that have calved for the first time, without their calves; and do you yoke the cows to the wagon, and lead away the calves from behind them home.
И ныне возмите и сотворите колесницу нову едину и две кравы первородившыя без телят, на нихже не бяше ярмо: и впрязите кравы в колесницу, а телята их возвратите вспять в дом:
8 And you shall take the ark and put it on the wagon; and you shall restore to it the golden articles for the trespass-offering in a coffer by the side of it: and you shall let it go, and sent it away, and you shall depart.
и возмите кивот Господень, и возложите и на колесницу, и сосуды златыя отдадите Ему за муки, и положите в ковчежце от страны его: и отпустите его, да идет:
9 And you shall see, if it shall go the way of its coasts along by Baethsamys, he has brought upon us this great affliction; and if not, then shall we know that his hand has not touched us, but this [is a] chance [which] has happened to us.
и узрите, аще путем пределов своих пойдет в Вефсамис, той сотвори нам зло великое сие: аще же ни, то уразумеем, яко не рука его прикоснуся нас, но приключение сие бысть нам.
10 And the Philistines did so; and they took two cows that had calved for the first time, and yoked them to the waggon, and shut up their calves at home.
И сотвориша иноплеменницы тако, и взяша две кравы первородившыя, и впрягоша я в колесницу, телята же их затвориша в доме:
11 And they set the ark of the Lord, and the coffer, and the golden mice, on the waggon.
и возложиша кивот Господень на колесницу, и ковчежец, и мышы златыя, и подобия седалищ своих:
12 And the cows went straight on the way to the way of Baethsamys, they went along one track; and laboured, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after it as far as the coasts of Baethsamys.
и управишася кравы на пути в путь Вефсамский, на пути имже идяху, и труждахуся, и не совращахуся на десно, ниже на шуе: и воеводы иноплеменничи идяху вслед его даже до предел Вефсамских.
13 And the men of Baethsamys were reaping the wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark of the Lord, and rejoiced to meet it.
И иже в Вефсамисе жняху жатву пшеницы во юдоли: и возведоша очи свои, и видеша кивот Господень, и возвеселишася во сретение ему.
14 And the waggon entered into the field of Osee, which was in Baethsamys, and they set there by it a great stone; and they split the wood of the waggon, and offered up the cows for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
И колесница вниде в село Осиево сущее в Вефсамисе, (и ста тамо, ) и поставиша тамо при нем камень велий: и иссекоша древеса колесничная, и кравы вознесоша на всесожжение Господу.
15 And the Levites brought up the ark of the Lord, and the coffer with it, and the golden articles upon it, and placed them on the great stone, and the men of Baethsamys offered whole burnt offerings and meat offerings on that day to the Lord.
Левити же вознесоша кивот Господень, и ковчежец иже с ним, и яже в нем сосуды златы, и положиша на камени велицем: мужие же Вефсамстии вознесоша всесожжения и пожроша жертву в той день Господу.
16 And the five lords of the Philistines saw, and returned to Ascalon in that day.
И пять воевод иноплеменничи зряху, и возвратишася во Аккарон в день той.
17 And these [are] the golden tumours which the lords of the Philistines gave as a trespass-offering to the Lord; for Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one.
И сия седалища златая, яже воздаша иноплеменницы за муку Господу: Азотско едино, Газско едино, Аскалонско едино, Гефско едино, Аккаронско едино.
18 And the golden mice according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines, belonging to the five lords, from the fenced city to the village of the Pherezite, and to the great stone, on which they placed the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that was in the field of Osee the Baethsamysite.
И златыя мышы по числу всех градов иноплеменничих пяти воевод, от града утвержена и даже до веси ферезеовы и до камене великаго, на немже положиша кивот завета Господня, иже есть даже до сего дне, на селе Осии Вефсамиситянина.
19 And the sons of Jechonias were not pleased with the men of Baethsamys, because they saw the ark of the Lord; and [the Lord] struck amongst them seventy men, and fifty thousand men: and the people mourned, because the Lord had inflicted on the people, a very great plague.
И не порадовашася сынове Иехониины в мужех Вефсамских, яко видеша кивот Господень: и уби в них пятьдесят тысящ и седмьдесят мужей. И плакашася людие, яко порази Господь людий язвою великою зело.
20 And the men of Baethsamys said, Who shall be able to pass before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall the ark of the Lord go up from us?
И реша мужие иже от Вефсамиса: кто возможет поити пред Господем Богом святым сим? И к кому взыдет кивот завета Господня от нас?
21 And they send messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, go down and take it home to yourselves.
И послаша послы к живущым в Кариафиариме, глаголюще: возвратиша иноплеменницы кивот Господень, снидите и вознесите его к себе.
