1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Aram gathered all his host together; and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
И сын Адеров царь Сирский собра всю силу свою, и возшед обседе Самарию, и с ним тридесять два царя и вси конницы и колесницы: и взыдоша, и обседоша Самарию, и ратоваша на ню:
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city,
и посла ко Ахааву царю Израилеву во град и рече к нему: сице глаголет сын Адеров:
3 and said unto him: 'Thus saith Ben-hadad: Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.'
сребро твое и злато твое мое есть, и жены твоя и чада твоя добрая моя суть.
4 And the king of Israel answered and said: 'It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king: I am thine, and all that I have.'
И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: якоже глаголал еси, господи мой царю, твой есмь аз и вся моя.
5 And the messengers came again, and said: 'Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying: I sent indeed unto thee, saying: Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
И возвратишася послы и реша: сице глаголет сын Адеров: аз посылах к тебе, глаголя: сребро и злато твое и жены твоя и чада твоя даждь мне:
6 but I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.'
яко в сей час утро послю рабы моя к тебе, и изыщут дом твой и домы отрок твоих, и будут вся желаемая очес их, на нихже аще возложат руки своя, и возмут.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said: 'Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief; for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.'
И призва царь Израилев вся старейшины земли и рече: знайте ныне и видите, яко той зле просит, яко присла ко мне (глаголя) о женах моих и о сынех моих и о дщерех моих: сребра моего и злата моего не возбраних ему.
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him: 'Hearken thou not, neither consent.'
И реша ему старейшины и вси людие: не послушай, ни восхощи (дати).
9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad: 'Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I may not do.' And the messengers departed, and brought him back word.
И рече послом сына Адерова: рцыте господину вашему: вся, ихже ради посылал еси к рабу твоему прежде, сотворю, сего же глагола не могу сотворити. И отидоша мужие (адеровы) и возвестиша ему слово.
10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said: 'The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.'
И паки посла к нему сын Адеров, глаголя: сия да сотворят ми бози и сия да приложат, аще доволна будет персть Самарии горстем всех людий пешцев моих.
11 And the king of Israel answered and said: 'Tell him: Let not him that girdeth on his armour boast himself as he that putteth it off.'
И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: доволно: да не хвалится слячен, якоже прямый.
12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the booths, that he said unto his servants: 'Set yourselves in array.' And they set themselves in array against the city.
И бысть егда отвеща ему слово сие, бе пиющь сам и вси царие, иже бяху с ним в кущах: и рече отроком своим: сотворите вал. И Сотвориша вал над градом.
13 And, behold, a prophet came near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.'
И се, пророк един прииде к Ахааву царю Израилеву и рече: сия глаголет Господь: видиши ли весь народ сей великий? Се, Аз дам его днесь в руце твои, и уразумееши, яко Аз (есмь) Господь.
14 And Ahab said: 'By whom?' And he said: 'Thus saith the LORD: By the young men of the princes of the provinces.' Then he said: 'Who shall begin the battle?' And he answered: 'Thou.'
И рече Ахаав: в чем? И рече: сице глаголет Господь: во отроцех князей градских. И рече Ахаав: кто начнет брань? И рече: ты.
15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
И сочте Ахаав отроки князей градских, и бысть их двести тридесять и два: и по сих сочте люди вся сыны силы, седмь тысящ.
16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
И изыде в полудне: и сын Адеров пиян бе зело в Сокхофе сам и царие (иже с ним), тридесять два царя помощника ему.
17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying: 'There are men come out from Samaria.'
И изыдоша отроцы воевод градских в первых. И посла сын Адеров, и возвестиша царю сирскому, глаголюще: мужие изыдоша из Самарии.
18 And he said: 'Whether they are come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they are come out for war, take them alive.'
И рече им: аще на мир изыдоша, поимите их живых: и аще на брань изыдоша, живых поимите их, да не исходят из града.
19 So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
И тии изыдоша из града отроцы воевод градских, и сила вслед их.
20 And they slew every one his man; and the Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
И порази кийждо противнаго себе, и удвои кийждо противнаго себе. И бежа Сириа: и погна их Израиль, и гонзе токмо сын Адеров царь Сирский на кони конника.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Arameans with a great slaughter.
И изыде царь Израилев, и взя вся кони и колесницы, и порази язвою великою в Сирии.
22 And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said unto him: 'Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against thee.'
И прииде пророк к царю Израилеву и рече: укрепися и разумей, и виждь, что сотвориши, яко преходящу лету сему, сын Адеров, царь Сирийский, приидет на тя.
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him: 'Their God is a God of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
И отроцы царя Сирийска реша ему: Бог гор Бог Израилев, а не Бог юдолий, сего ради укрепися паче нас: аще же сразимся с ними на равнине, истинно укрепимся паче их:
24 And do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their room:
по глаголу же сему сотвори: распусти цари коегождо на место свое, и постави вместо их воеводы,
25 and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.' And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
и пременим тебе силу вместо силы падшия у тебе, и кони вместо коней, и колесницы вместо колесниц, и сразимся с ними на равнине, и укрепимся паче их. И послуша гласа их и сотвори тако.
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
И бысть минувшу лету тому, и сочте сын Адеров Сирию, и взыде во Афеку на брань на Израиля.
27 And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Arameans filled the country.
И сынове Израилевы сочислишася и изыдоша во сретение им. И ополчишася Израилтяне противу им, аки два стада коз: Сириане же наполниша землю.
28 And a man of God came near and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Because the Arameans have said: The LORD is a God of the hills, but he is not a God of the valleys; therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
И прииде человек Божий и рече к царю Израилеву: сице глаголет Господь: понеже рече Сириа: Бог гор Господь Бог Израилев, и не Бог юдолий той, и дам силу великую сию в руку твою, и уразумееши, яко Аз Господь.
29 And they encamped one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Arameans a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
И ополчишася тии противу им седмь дний. И бысть в день седмый, и приближися брань, и порази Израиль Сириан, сто и двадесять тысящ пешцев во един день.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
И бежаша оставшиися во Афеку град, и паде стена на двадесять седмь тысящ мужей оставшихся: сын же Адеров бежа и вниде в дом ложа, в чертог.
31 And his servants said unto him: 'Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings; let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; peradventure he will save thy life.'
И реша к нему отроцы его: се, ныне вемы, яко царие дому Израилева милостиви суть: да возложим ныне вретища на чресла наша и ужа на выи нашя, и изыдем ко царю Израилеву, да негли оживит душы нашя.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said: 'Thy servant Ben-hadad saith: I pray thee, let me live.' And he said: 'Is he yet alive? he is my brother.'
И препоясашася во вретища по чреслом своим, и возложиша ужя на выи своя, и приидоша к царю Израилеву и реша: раб твой сын Адеров глаголет: да живет душа моя. И рече: аще есть еще жив, брат ми есть.
33 Now the men took it for a sign, and hastened to catch it from him; and they said: 'Thy brother Ben-hadad.' Then he said: 'Go ye, bring him.' Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into his chariot.
И мужие за знак и в залог прияша слово от уст его, и реша: брат твой сын Адеров. И рече: идите и приведите его. И изыде к нему сын Адеров. И возведоша его к нему на колесницу.
34 And Ben-hadad said unto him: 'The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.' 'And I, said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant.' So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
И рече к нему: грады, яже взя отец мой от отца твоего, отдам тебе: и на исход сотвориши я себе в Дамасце, якоже положи отец мой в Самарии, и аз в завете пущу тя. И положи ему завет и отпусти его.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of the LORD: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man refused to smite him.
И человек един от сынов пророчих рече ко ближнему своему по словеси Господню: бий мя ныне. И не восхоте человек бити его.
36 Then said he unto him: 'Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee.' And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him; and slew him.
И рече к нему: понеже не послушал еси гласа Господня, се, ты отидеши от мене, и поразит тя лев. И отиде от него, и обрете его лев и порази его.
37 Then he found another man, and said: 'Smite me, I pray thee.' And the man smote him, smiting and wounding him.
И обрете человека инаго и рече: бий мя ныне. И би его человек, и поразив сокруши его.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
И иде пророк и предста царю Израилеву на пути и покры покрывалом очи свои.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said: 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said: Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
И бысть егда мимоидяше царь, и сей возопи ко царю и рече: раб твой изыде на войну брани, и се, муж приведе ко мне мужа и рече ко мне: сохрани мужа сего: аще же отрешився отскочит, и будет душа твоя вместо души его, или талант отдаси сребра:
40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.' And the king of Israel said unto him: 'So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.'
и бысть яко озреся раб твой семо и овамо, и сего не бысть. И рече к нему царь Израилев: се, суд твой при мне, сам себе убил еси.
41 And he hastened, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
И ускори и отя покрывало от очес своих. И позна его царь Израилев, яко от пророк сей есть.
42 And he said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.'
И рече к нему: тако глаголет Господь: понеже испустил еси ты мужа пагубнаго из руки твоея, и будет душа твоя вместо души его, и людие твои вместо людий его.
43 And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.
И отиде царь Израилев к дому своему смущен и разслаблен, и прииде в Самарию.
