< 2 Kings 10 >
1 There were seventy sons of the house of Ahab living in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to the officials of Samaria, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:
И Ахааву беша седмьдесят сынове во Самарии. И написа писание Ииуй и посла в Самарию ко князем Самарийским и к старейшинам и ко кормителем сынов Ахаавлих, глаголя:
2 “Since your master's sons are with you, and you have at your disposal chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weapons, when you receive this letter,
и ныне егда приидет писание сие к вам, и с вами сынове господина вашего, и с вами колесницы и кони, и грады тверды и оружия:
3 choose the best and most appropriate son of your master, place him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.”
и узрите благаго и праваго в сынех господина вашего, и поставите его на престоле отца его, и да воюете о доме господина вашего.
4 But they were extremely frightened, and said to themselves, “If two kings couldn't defeat him, how could we?”
И убояшася зело и реша: се, два царя не возмогоста стати противу лицу его, и како мы станем?
5 So the palace and the city leaders, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you tell us. We're not going to make anyone king. Do what you think is best.”
И послаша иже над домом и иже над градом, и старейшины, и кормителе ко Ииую, глаголголюще: отроцы мы твои, и елика аще речеши к нам, сотворим: не воцарим мужа, благое пред очима твоима сотворим.
6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you are going to obey what I say, bring the heads of your master's sons to me in Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” The seventy king's sons were being raised by the leading men of the city.
И написа к ним Ииуй писание второе, глаголя: аще вы мои и гласа моего вы послушаете, возмите главы мужей сынов господина вашего и принесите ко мне, якоже час утро, во Иезраель. И бе сынов царевых седмьдесят мужей, сии началницы града вскормиша их.
7 When the letter arrived, they seized the king's sons and killed all seventy of them, placed their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
И бысть егда прииде к ним писание, и взяша сыны царевы и заклаша их седмьдесят мужей, и возложиша главы их в кошницы и послаша их к нему во Иезраель.
8 A messenger came in and told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” Jehu gave the order, “Put them in two piles at the entrance to the city gate until the morning.”
И прииде вестник, и возвести ему, глаголя: принесоша главы сынов царевых. И рече: положите я в два холма при вратех града до заутра.
9 In the morning Jehu went out to speak to the people who had gathered. “You haven't done anything wrong,” he told them. “I was the one who plotted against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
И бысть заутра, и изыде и ста во вратех града, и рече ко всем людем: праведни вы: се, аз есмь, обратихся на господина моего и убих его: и кто порази всех сих?
10 Rest assured that nothing of what the Lord has prophesied against the house of Ahab will fail, for the Lord has done what he promised through his servant Elijah.”
Видите убо, яко не падет от глагола Господня на землю, егоже глагола Господь на дом Ахаавль: и Господь сотвори, елика глагола рукою раба Своего Илии.
11 So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who was left of the house of Ahab, as well as all his high officials, close friends, and priests. This left Ahab without a single survivor.
И изби Ииуй всех оставшихся в дому Ахаавли во Иезраели, и вся вельможы его, и знаемыя его, и жерцы его, яко не остатися его останку.
12 Then Jehu left and went Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
И воста и иде в Самарию сам, в Вефакад пастырский при пути.
13 he met some relatives of Ahaziah, king of Judah. “Who are you?” he asked them. “We're relatives of Ahaziah,” they replied. “We've come to visit the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”
И Ииуй обрете братию Охозии царя Иудина и рече: кто вы? И реша: братия Охозиины мы, и снидохом поздравити сыны царевы и сыны обладающия.
14 “Take them alive!” Jehu ordered. So they took them alive, then killed them at the well of Beth-eked. There were forty-two men. He didn't allow any of them to live.
И рече: поимите я живы. И взяша их живых, и заклаша их в Вефакаде, четыредесять два мужа: и не остави мужа от них.
15 He left there and came across Jehonadab, son of Rekab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked him, “Are you as committed to me, as I am to you?” “Yes I am,” Jehonadab replied. “In that case, give me your hand,” said Jehu. So he stretched out his hand, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot.
И иде оттуду, и обрете Ионадава сына Рихавля на пути во сретение себе, и благослови его. И рече к нему Ииуй: аще есть сердце твое с сердцем моим право, якоже сердце мое с сердцем твоим? И рече Ионадав: есть. И рече Ииуй: и аще есть, даждь руку твою. И даде руку свою. И возведе его к себе на колесницу
16 “Come with me and see how dedicated I am to the Lord!” Jehu said, and had him ride in his chariot.
и рече к нему: гряди со мною и виждь, внегда ревновати мне по Господе саваофе. И посади его на колесницу свою.
17 When Jehu arrived in Samaria, he went around killing everyone who was left of Ahab's family until he had killed all of them, just as the Lord had said through Elijah.
И вниде в Самарию, и изби всех оставшихся Ахаавлих в Самарии, дондеже истребити ему по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола ко Илии.
18 Jehu had all the people gather together and told them, “Ahab worshiped Baal a little, but Jehu will worship him a lot.
И собра Ииуй вся люди и рече к ним: Ахаав поработа Ваалу мало, Ииуй же поработает ему много:
19 So summon all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. Make sure no one is missing, because I'm organizing a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who doesn't attend will be executed.” But Jehu's plan was a trick to destroy the followers of Baal.
и ныне вся пророки Вааловы, вся рабы его и жерцы его призовите ко мне, муж да не потаится, яко жертва велика Ваалу: и всяк иже потаится, не будет жив. И Ииуй сотвори лестию, да погубит рабы Вааловы.
20 Jehu gave the order, “Call a religious assembly to honor Baal!” So they did so.
И рече Ииуй: освятите жертву Ваалу и служение. И проповедаша.
21 Jehu sent the announcement through the whole of Israel. All the followers of Baal came—not a single man was missing. They went into the temple of Baal, filling it from end to end.
И посла Ииуй во весь Израиль и рече, глаголя: и ныне вси раби Вааловы, и вси жерцы его, и вси пророцы его, да никтоже останется, яко жертву велику творю: иже останется, не будет жив и приидоша вси раби Вааловы, и вси жерцы его, и вси пророцы его: не остася муж, иже не прииде: и внидоша во храм Ваалов, и наполнися храм Ваалов от края да края.
22 Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Distribute clothes for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out clothes for them.
И рече Ииуй к сущым над домом одежд: изнесите одежды всем рабом Вааловым. И изнесе им ризохранитель.
23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab, son of Rekab, went into the temple of Baal. Jehu told the followers of Baal, “Look around and make sure that no one who follows the Lord is here with you, only the worshipers of Baal.”
И вниде Ииуй и Ионадав сын Рихавль в храмину Ваалову и рече рабом Вааловым: испытайте и видите, аще есть с вами от рабов Господних, и вышлите всех рабов Господних обретшихся тамо. И бысть якоже глагола Ииуй, яко не бе от рабов Господних, но токмо едини раби Вааловы.
24 They were inside presenting sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had positioned eighty men outside and cautioned them, “I'm handing these men over to you. If you let any of them escape, you will pay for his life with yours.”
И вниде сотворити жертвы и всесожжения и Ииуй постави себе вне осмьдесят мужей и рече: муж иже аще угонзет от мужей, ихже аз извожду в руки вашя, душа его вместо души его.
25 As soon as Jehu had finished presenting the burnt offering, he ordered his guards and officers, “Go in and kill them all! Don't let even one escape!” So they killed them with their swords. The guards and officers threw their bodies outside, and then they went into the inner sanctuary of the temple of Baal.
И бысть егда сконча творяй всесожжения, и рече Ииуй предтекущым и тристатом: вшедше избийте их, да не изыдет от них муж. И избиша их острием меча и повергоша предтекущии и тристаты, и идоша даже до града храма Ваалова:
26 They dragged out the idol pillars and burned them.
и изнесоша кумир Ваалов и сожгоша его:
27 They smashed the sacred pillar of Baal, and tore down the temple of Baal and turned it into a toilet, which it still is to this day.
и разбиша кумиры Вааловы, и низвергоша дом Ваалов, и определиша его на афедрон даже до дне сего.
28 This was how Jehu destroyed Baal worship in Israel,
И погуби Ииуй храм Ваалов от Израиля.
29 but he did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.
Обаче от грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже введе в грех Израиля, не отступи Ииуй от последования их: юницы златыя, яже в Вефили и в Дане.
30 The Lord said to Jehu, “Since you have done well, and have carried out what is right in my sight, and have accomplished all that I planned for the house of Ahab, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
И рече Господь ко Ииую: за сия, елика ублажил еси сотворити правое пред очима Моима, и вся елика по сердцу Моему сотворил еси дому Ахаавлю, сынове твои до четвертаго рода сядут на престоле во Израили.
31 But Jehu was not completely committed to following the law of the Lord, the God of Israel. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam had made Israel commit.
И Ииуй не сохрани ходити в законе Господни всем сердцем своим: не отступи от грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже в грех введе Израиля.
32 At that time the Lord began to reduce the extent of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory
Во дни оны нача Господь посецати во Израили: и порази их Азаил во всех пределех Израилевых,
33 east of the Jordan, all the land of Gilead (the region occupied by Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer through the Arnon Valley up to Gilead and Bashan.
от Иордана на восток солнца, всю землю Галаадску и Гаддииску, и Рувимову и Манассиину, от Ароира, иже есть при устии потока Арнонска, и Галаад и Васан.
34 The rest of what happened in Jehu's reign, all that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
И прочая словес Ииуевых, и вся яже сотвори, и вся сила его, и совещания, яже совеща, не се ли, сия написана в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
35 Jehu died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz succeeded him as king.
И успе Ииуй со отцы своими, и погребоша его в Самарии. И воцарися Иоахаз сын его вместо его.
36 Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria for twenty-eight years.
И дний бяше, в няже Ииуй царствова над Израилем в Самарии, двадесять осмь лет.
