Isaiah 37
1 When Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went into the Lord's Temple.
И бысть егда услыша царь Езекиа, растерза ризы и облечеся во вретище и вниде во храм Господень:
2 He sent Eliakim the palace manager, Shebna, the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to see the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
и посла Елиакима домостроителя, и Сомну книгочия, и старейшины жречески оболчены во вретища ко Исаии пророку сыну Амосову.
3 They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of trouble and of punishment. It's like when babies arrive at the entrance to the birth canal but there's no strength to deliver them.
И рекоша ему: сия глаголет Езекиа: день печали и укоризны и обличения и гнева днешний день, понеже прииде болезнь раждающей, крепости же не имеет родити:
4 Maybe the Lord your God, hearing the message the army commander delivered on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria—a message sent to insult the living God—will punish him for his words. Please say a prayer for the remnant of us who still survive.”
да услышит Господь Бог твой словеса Рапсакова, яже посла царь Ассирийский, господин его, укаряти Бога живаго и поносити словесы, яже слыша Господь Бог твой, и да помолишися ко Господеви Богу твоему о оставшихся сих.
5 After Hezekiah's officials delivered his message to Isaiah,
И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии ко Исаии.
6 Isaiah replied to them, “Tell your master, This is what the Lord says: Don't be frightened by the words that you have heard, the words used by the servants of the king of Assyria to blaspheme me.
И рече им Исаиа: сице рцыте ко господину вашему: сия глаголет Господь: не убойся от словес, яже еси слышал, имиже укориша Мя послы царя Ассирийска:
7 Look, I'm going to scare him—he'll hear a rumor, and he'll have to return to his own country. When he's there I'll have him killed by the sword.”
се, Аз вложу в него дух, и услышав весть возвратится во страну свою и падет мечем на своей земли.
8 The Assyrian army commander left and went back to join the king of Assyria, having heard the king had left Lachish and was attacking Libnah.
И возвратися Рапсак и обрете царя Ассирийскаго облежаща Ловну: и услыша царь Ассирийск, яко отиде от Лахиса,
9 Sennacherib had received a message about Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that said, “Watch out! He is coming to attack you.” So Sennacherib sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
и изыде Фарака царь Ефиопский воевати нань: и услышав возвратися и посла послы ко Езекии, глаголя:
10 “Tell Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Don't let your God, the one you're trusting in, fool you by saying that Jerusalem won't fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.
сице рцыте Езекии царю Иудейску: да не прельщает Бог твой тебе, на Негоже уповая еси, глаголя, яко не предастся Иерусалим в руце царя Ассирийска:
11 Look! You've heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries they've invaded— they destroyed them completely! Do you really think you'll be saved?
или не слышал еси ты, что сотвориша царие Ассирийстии, како всю землю погубиша, и ты ли избавишися?
12 Did the gods of the nations my forefathers destroyed save them—the gods of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who lived in Telassar?
Еда избавиша сих бози язычестии, ихже погубиша отцы мои Гозан и Харран и Расем, иже суть во стране Феемафи?
13 Where today is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?”
Где суть царие Емафовы, и где Арфафовы, и где града Епфаруема, Анагугана?
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the Lord's Temple and opened it out before the Lord.
И взя Езекиа книгу от послов и прочте ю, и вниде во храм Господень и отверзе ю пред Господем.
15 Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying,
И помолися Езекиа ко Господеви, глаголя:
16 “Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you who live above the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth, you are Creator of heaven and earth.
Господи Саваоф, Боже Израилев, седяй на Херувимех, Ты еси Бог един Царь всякаго царства вселенныя, Ты сотворил еси небо и землю:
17 Please listen with your ears, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see. Listen to the message that Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God.
приклони, Господи, ухо Твое, услыши, Господи, отверзи, Господи, очи Твои, призри, Господи, и виждь и слыши вся словеса Сеннахиримля, яже посла укаряти Бога живаго:
18 Yes, it's true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have destroyed these nations and their lands.
поистинне бо, Господи, пусту сотвориша царие Ассирийстии всю землю и страны их,
19 They have thrown their gods into the fire because they are not really gods—they are just the work of human hands, made of wood and stone so they could destroy them.
и ввергоша кумиры их во огнь, не беша бо бози, но дела рук человеческих, древа и камение, и погубиша я:
20 Now, Lord our God, please save us from him, in order that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that only you, Lord, are God.”
ныне же, Господи Боже наш, спаси ны от руки их, да уведят вся царствия земная, яко Ты еси (Господь) Бог един.
21 Then Isaiah, son of Amoz, sent a message to Hezekiah, saying, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you've prayed to me about Sennacherib, king of Assyria,
И послан бысть Исаиа сын Амосов ко Езекии и рече ему: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: слышах, о нихже молился еси ко Мне о Сеннахириме цари Ассирийстем.
22 this is the word of the Lord condemning him: The virgin daughter of Zion scorns you and mocks you; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head as you run away.
Сие слово, еже глагола о нем Бог: похули тя и поругася тебе девица дщи Сионя, на тя главою покива дщи Иерусалимля:
23 Who have you been insulting and ridiculing? Who did you raise your voice against? Who did you look at with so proud eyes? It was against the Holy One of Israel!
кого укорил и разгневал еси? Или к кому возвысил еси глас твой, и не воздвигл еси на высоту очес твоих? Ко Святому Израилеву!
24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord. You said: ‘With my many chariots I have ascended to the high mountains, to the farthest peaks of Lebanon. I have chopped down its tallest cedars, the best of its cypress trees. I have reached its most distant heights, its deepest forests.
Яко послами укорил еси Господа, ты бо рекл еси: множеством колесниц аз взыдох на высоту гор и на последняя Ливана, и посекох высоту кедра его и доброту кипарисову, и внидох в высоту части дубравныя
25 I have dug wells and drunk water in foreign lands. With the soles of my feet I dried up all the rivers in Egypt.’”
и положих мост, и опустоших воды и все собрание водное:
26 The Lord replies, “Haven't you heard? I decided it long ago; I planned it in the olden days. Now I am making sure it happens—that you are to knock down fortified towns into piles of rubble.
не слышал ли еси издревле сих, яже Аз сотворих? От древних дний совещах, ныне же показах опустошити языки в твердынех и живущыя во твердых градех:
27 Their people, powerless, are terrified and humiliated. They're like plants in a field, like soft green shoots, like grass that sprouts on the rooftop—scorched before it can even grow.
опустих руце, и изсхоша и быша аки сухо сено на кровех и аки троскот:
28 But I know you very well—where you live, when you come in, when you leave, and your furious anger against me.
ныне же покой твой и исход твой и вход твой Аз вем,
29 Because of your furious anger against me, and because I know how you disrespect me, I'm going to put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will force you to return the same way you came.”
ярость же твоя, еюже разгневался еси, и огорчение твое взыде ко Мне, и вложу брозду в ноздри твоя, и узду во уста твоя, и возвращу тя путем, имже еси пришел.
30 “Hezekiah, this will be a sign to prove this is true: This year you'll eat what grows by itself. The second year you'll eat what grows from that. But in the third year you'll sow and reap, you'll plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Сие же тебе знамение: яждь сего лета, еже еси всеял, а во второе лето, еже от себе растет: а в третие насеявше пожнете и насадите винограды и снесте плоды их:
31 The remnant that's left of Judah will revive again, sending roots below and bearing fruit above.
и будут оставшии во Иудеи, прорастят корение долу и сотворят в верх плод,
32 For a remnant will come out of Jerusalem, and survivors will come from Mount Zion. The intense determination of the Lord will make sure this happens.
яко от Иерусалима будут оставшиися и спасшиися от горы Сиони: ревность Господа Саваофа сотворит сия.
33 This is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: He shall not enter this city or shoot an arrow at it. He shall not advance towards it with a shield, or build a siege ramp against it.
Сего ради тако глаголет Господь на царя Ассирийска: не внидет в сей град, ниже пустит нань стрелу, ниже возложит нань щита, ниже оградит окрест его ограждения:
34 He shall return the same way he came, and he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
но путем, имже прииде, темже возвратится, и во град сей не внидет. Сия глаголет Господь:
35 I will defend this city and save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и ради Давида раба Моего.
36 Then the angel of the Lord went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 of them. When the survivors woke up in the morning, they were surrounded by dead bodies.
И изыде Ангел Господень и изби от полка Ассирийска сто осмьдесят пять тысящ. И воставше заутра, обретоша вся телеса мертва.
37 Sennacherib, king of Assyria, gave up and left. He returned home to Nineveh and stayed there.
И отиде возвращься Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский и вселися во Ниневии.
38 While he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword and then ran away to the land of Ararat. His son Esar-haddon succeeded him as king.
И внегда покланятися ему и в дому Насараху отечествоначалнику своему, Адрамелех и Сарасар сынове его убиста его мечьми, сами же убежаста во Армению. И воцарися Асордан сын его вместо его.
