Judges 21
1 Now the children of Israel swore in Massephath, saying, No man of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin for a wife.
И сынове Израилевы кляшася в Массифе, глаголюще: муж от нас да не даст Вениамину дщере своея в жену.
2 And the people came to Baethel, and sat there until evening before God: and they lifted up their voice and wept with a great weeping;
И приидоша людие в Вефиль и седеша тамо до вечера пред Богом: и воздвигоша глас свой, и плакашася плачем велиим, и рекоша:
3 and said, Therefore, O Lord God of Israel, has this come to pass, that today one tribe should be counted [as missing] from Israel?
вскую, Господи Боже Израилев, бысть сице днесь во Израили, еже оскудети от Израиля племени единому?
4 And it came to pass on the morrow that the people rose up early, and built there an altar, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace offerings.
И бысть на утрия, и обутреша людие, и соградиша тамо олтарь, и вознесоша всесожжение спасения, и рекоша сынове Израилевы:
5 And the children of Israel said, Who of all the tribes of Israel, went not up in the congregation to the Lord? for there was a great oath concerning those who went not up to the Lord to Massephath, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
кто не взыде в сонм от всех племен Израилевых ко Господу? Яко велика клятва бяше не вшедшым ко Господу в Массифу, глаголюще: смертию да умрет.
6 And the children of Israel relented towards Benjamin their brother, and said, To-day one tribe is cut off from Israel.
И умилишася сынове Израилевы о Вениамине брате своем, и рекоша: изсечено днесь едино племя от Израиля:
7 What shall we do for wives for the rest that remain? whereas we have sworn by the Lord, not to give them of our daughters for wives.
что сотворим оставшымся о женах? И мы кляхомся Господем не дати им от дщерей наших в жены.
8 And they said, What one [man is there] of the tribes of Israel, who went not up to the Lord to Massephath? and, behold, no man came to the camp from Jabis Galaad to the assembly.
И рекоша: кто един от племен Израилевых, иже не взыде ко Господу в Массифу? И се, ни един прииде в полк от Иависа Галаадова в сонм.
9 And the people were numbered, and there was not there a man from the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad.
И соглядаша людий, и се, не бяше тамо мужа от живущих во Иависе Галаадове.
10 And the congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the strongest, and they charged them, saying, Go you and strike the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad with the edge of the sword.
И послаша тамо сонм дванадесять тысящ мужей от сынов силы и заповедаша им, глаголюще: идите и избийте живущыя во Иависе Галаадове оружием жены и народы:
11 And this shall you do: every male and every woman that has known the lying with man you shall devote [to destruction], but the virgins you shall save alive: and they did so.
и сие сотворите: всяк мужеский пол и всяку жену, познавшую ложе мужеско, побиете: девицы же снабдите. И сотвориша тако.
12 And they found amongst the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad four hundred young virgins, who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to Selom in the land of Chanaan.
И обретоша от живущих во Иависе Галаадове четыре ста отроковиц дев, яже не познаша ложа мужеска: и приведоша я в полк в Силом, иже есть в земли Ханаани.
13 And all the congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin in the rock Remmon, and invited them to [make] peace.
И послаша весь сонм и глаголаша к сыном Вениаминовым, иже в камени Реммони, и призваша их с миром.
14 And Benjamin returned to the children of Israel at that time, and the children of Israel gave them the women whom they [had] save alive of the daughters of Jabis Galaad; and they were content.
И возвратися Вениамин к сыном Израилевым в то время, и даша им сынове Израилевы жены, яже живо сохраниша от дщерей Иависа Галаадова: и угодно бысть им тако.
15 And the people relented for Benjamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
И людие умилишася о Вениамине, яко сотвори Господь истребление в племенех Израилевых.
16 And the elders of the congregation said, What shall we do for wives for them that remain? for the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin.
И рекоша старейшины сонма: что сотворим оставшым о женах? Яко погибе от Вениамина жена:
17 And they said, [There must be] an inheritance of them that are escaped of Benjamin; and [so] a tribe shall not be destroyed out of Israel.
и како будет наследие уцелевших от Вениамина, да не погибнет племя от Израиля?
18 For we shall not be able to give them wives of our daughters, because we swore amongst the children of Israel, saying, Cursed [is] he that gives a wife to Benjamin.
И мы не возможем дати им жен от дщерей наших, яко кляшася сынове Израилевы, глаголюще: проклят даяй жену Вениамину.
19 And they said, Behold! now [there is] a feast of the Lord from year to year in Selom, which is on the north of Baethel, eastward on the way that goes up from Baethel to Sychem, and from the south of Lebona.
И рекоша: се, праздник Господень в Силоме от дний во дни, иже есть от севера Вефиля, на восток солнца на пути восходящем от Вефиля в Сихем, и от юга Левоны.
20 And they charged the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
И заповедаша сыном Вениаминим, глаголюще: идите и засядите в виноградех,
21 and you shall see; and behold! if there come out the daughters of the inhabitants of Selom to dance in dances, then shall you go out of the vineyards and seize for yourselves every man a wife of the daughters of Selom, and go you into the land of Benjamin.
и узрите, и се, егда изыдут дщери живущих в Силоме плясати в лики, да изыдете из виноградов и восхитите муж жену себе от дщерей Силомлих, и идите на землю Вениаминю:
22 And it shall come to pass, when their fathers or their brethren come to dispute with us, that we will say to them, Grant them freely to us, for we have not taken every man his wife in the battle: because you did not give to them according to the occasion, you transgressed.
и будет егда приидут отцы их или братия их судитися к нам, и речем им: помилуйте нас ими, яко не взя муж жены своея в полце: понеже вы не дали есте им яко жребий, согрешисте.
23 And the children of Benjamin did so; and they took wives according to their number from the dancers whom they seized: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the cities, and lived in them.
И сотвориша тако сынове Вениамини, и пояша жены по числу своему от пляшущих, яже восхитиша: и отидоша и возвратишася в наследие свое, и создаша грады и вселишася в них.
24 And the children of Israel went thence at that time every man to his tribe and his kindred; and they went thence every man to his inheritance.
И отидоша оттуду сынове Израилевы в то время, муж во племя свое и в род свой: и изыде оттуду муж в наследие свое.
25 And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own sight.
И в тыя дни не бяше царя во Израили: муж еже угодно пред очима его, творяше.
