2 Kings 4
1 Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”
Одна из жен сынов пророческих с воплем говорила Елисею: раб твой, мой муж, умер; а ты знаешь, что раб твой боялся Господа; теперь пришел заимодавец взять обоих детей моих в рабы себе.
2 And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”
И сказал ей Елисей: что мне сделать тебе? скажи мне, что есть у тебя в доме? Она сказала: нет у рабы твоей ничего в доме, кроме сосуда с елеем.
3 And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.
И сказал он: пойди, попроси себе сосудов на стороне, у всех соседей твоих, сосудов порожних; набери немало,
4 And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”
и пойди, запри дверь за собою и за сыновьями твоими, и наливай во все эти сосуды; полные отставляй.
5 And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.
И пошла от него и заперла дверь за собой и за сыновьями своими. Они подавали ей, а она наливала.
6 And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.
Когда наполнены были сосуды, она сказала сыну своему: подай мне еще сосуд. Он сказал ей: нет более сосудов. И остановилось масло.
7 Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”
И пришла она, и пересказала человеку Божию. Он сказал: пойди, продай масло и заплати долги твои; а что останется, тем будешь жить с сыновьями твоими.
8 Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.
В один день пришел Елисей в Сонам. Там одна богатая женщина упросила его к себе есть хлеба; и когда он ни проходил, всегда заходил туда есть хлеба.
9 And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.
И сказала она мужу своему: вот, я знаю, что человек Божий, который проходит мимо нас постоянно, святой;
10 Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”
сделаем небольшую горницу над стеною и поставим ему там постель, и стол, и седалище, и светильник; и когда он будет приходить к нам, пусть заходит туда.
11 Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.
В один день он пришел туда, и зашел в горницу, и лег там,
12 And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
и сказал Гиезию, слуге своему: позови эту Сонамитянку. И позвал ее, и она стала пред ним.
13 he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”
И сказал ему: скажи ей: “вот, ты так заботишься о нас; что сделать бы тебе? не нужно ли поговорить о тебе с царем, или с военачальником?” Она сказала: нет, среди своего народа я живу.
14 And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”
И сказал он: что же сделать ей? И сказал Гиезий: да вот, сына нет у нее, а муж ее стар.
15 And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,
И сказал он: позови ее. Он позвал ее, и стала она в дверях.
16 he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”
И сказал он: через год, в это самое время ты будешь держать на руках сына. И сказала она: нет, господин мой, человек Божий, не обманывай рабы твоей.
17 And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.
И женщина стала беременною и родила сына на другой год, в то самое время, как сказал ей Елисей.
18 And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,
И подрос ребенок и в один день пошел к отцу своему, к жнецам.
19 he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”
И сказал отцу своему: голова моя! голова моя болит! И сказал тот слуге своему: отнеси его к матери его.
20 But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.
И понес его и принес его к матери его. И он сидел на коленях у нее до полудня, и умер.
21 Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,
И пошла она, и положила его на постели человека Божия, и заперла его, и вышла,
22 she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”
и позвала мужа своего и сказала: пришли мне одного из слуг и одну из ослиц, я поеду к человеку Божию и возвращусь.
23 And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”
Он сказал: зачем тебе ехать к нему? сегодня не новомесячие и не суббота. Но она сказала: хорошо.
24 And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”
И оседлала ослицу и сказала слуге своему: веди и иди; не останавливайся, доколе не скажу тебе.
25 And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.
И отправилась и прибыла к человеку Божию, к горе Кармил. И когда увидел человек Божий ее издали, то сказал слуге своему Гиезию: это та Сонамитянка.
26 So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’” And she answered, “It is well.”
Побеги к ней навстречу и скажи ей: “здорова ли ты? здоров ли муж твой? здоров ли ребенок?” - Она сказала: здоровы.
27 And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”
Когда же пришла к человеку Божию на гору, ухватилась за ноги его. И подошел Гиезий, чтобы отвести ее; но человек Божий сказал: оставь ее, душа у нее огорчена, а Господь скрыл от меня и не объявил мне.
28 And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’”
И сказала она: просила ли я сына у господина моего? не говорила ли я: “не обманывай меня”?
29 And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”
И сказал он Гиезию: опояшь чресла твои и возьми жезл мой в руку твою, и пойди; если встретишь кого, не приветствуй его, и если кто будет тебя приветствовать, не отвечай ему; и положи посох мой на лице ребенка.
30 But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.
И сказала мать ребенка: жив Господь и жива душа твоя! не отстану от тебя. И он встал и пошел за нею.
31 But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”
Гиезий пошел впереди их и положил жезл на лице ребенка. Но не было ни голоса, ни ответа. И вышел навстречу ему, и донес ему, и сказал: не пробуждается ребенок.
32 Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.
И вошел Елисей в дом, и вот, ребенок умерший лежит на постели его.
33 And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.
И вошел, и запер дверь за собою, и помолился Господу.
34 And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.
И поднялся и лег над ребенком, и приложил свои уста к его устам, и свои глаза к его глазам, и свои ладони к его ладоням, и простерся на нем, и согрелось тело ребенка.
35 And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.
И встал и прошел по горнице взад и вперед; потом опять поднялся и простерся на нем. И чихнул ребенок раз семь, и открыл ребенок глаза свои.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”
И позвал он Гиезия и сказал: позови эту Сонамитянку. И тот позвал ее. Она пришла к нему, и он сказал: возьми сына твоего.
37 She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.
И подошла, и упала ему в ноги, и поклонилась до земли; и взяла сына своего и пошла.
38 And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”
Елисей же возвратился в Галгал. И был голод в земле той, и сыны пророков сидели пред ним. И сказал он слуге своему: поставь большой котел и свари похлебку для сынов пророческих.
39 And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.
И вышел один из них в поле собирать овощи, и нашел дикое вьющееся растение, и набрал с него диких плодов полную одежду свою; и пришел и накрошил их в котел с похлебкою, так как они не знали их.
40 Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.
И налили им есть. Но как скоро они стали есть похлебку, то подняли крик и говорили: смерть в котле, человек Божий! И не могли есть.
41 But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.
И сказал он: подайте муки. И всыпал ее в котел и сказал Гиезию: наливай людям, пусть едят. И не стало ничего вредного в котле.
42 Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”
Пришел некто из Ваал-Шалиши, и принес человеку Божию хлебный начаток - двадцать ячменных хлебцев и сырые зерна в шелухе. И сказал Елисей: отдай людям, пусть едят.
43 And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’”
И сказал слуга его: что тут я дам ста человекам? И сказал он: отдай людям, пусть едят, ибо так говорит Господь: “насытятся, и останется”.
44 And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Он подал им, и они насытились, и еще осталось, по слову Господню.
