2 Kings 7
1 And Elisha said: 'Hear ye the word of the LORD; thus saith the LORD: To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'
И рече Елиссей: слышите слово Господне, сице глаголет Господь: якоже час сей, утро мера муки пшеничны будет за сикль един, и две меры ячменя за сикль един во вратех Самарии.
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said: 'Behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might this thing be?' And he said: 'Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.'
И отвеща тристат, на егоже руку царь почиваше, и рече и Елиссею: се, аще отверзет Господь и хляби небесныя, то не будет глагол сей. И Елиссей рече: се, ты узриши очима твоима, и оттуду не имаши ясти.
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said one to another: 'Why sit we here until we die?
И бяху четыре мужа прокажени при вратех града. И рече муж ко искреннему своему: что мы седим зде дондеже умрем?
4 If we say: We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Arameans; if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.'
Аще речем: внидем во град, то глад есть во граде, и умрем тамо: аще же седим зде, то и тако умрем: и ныне идем и внидем в полк Сирийский: аще живят ны, живи будем: аще ли умертвят ны, то умрем.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Arameans; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Arameans, behold, there was no man there.
И восташа в сумраце ити в полк Сирийский и внидоша среде полка Сирийска, и се, не бе мужа ту.
6 For the Lord had made the host of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host; and they said one to another: 'Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.'
И Господь слышан сотвори полку Сирийску глас колесниц и глас коней и глас силы великия. И рече муж ко брату своему: се, ныне наял есть на нас царь Израилев цари Хеттейски и цари Египетския приити на ны.
7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
И восташа, и бежаша в сумраце, и оставиша сени своя и кони своя и ослы своя, якоже быша во стану, и бежаша души ради своея.
8 And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
И внидоша прокаженнии сии до среды полка, и внидоша в сень едину, и ядоша и пиша, и взяша оттуду сребро и злато и одежды, и отидоша, и скрыша: и возвратишася, и внидоша в другую сень, и взяша оттуду, и отидоша, и скрыша.
9 Then they said one to another: 'We do not well; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace; if we tarry till the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household.'
И рече муж ко искреннему своему: не тако мы творим: день сей день благоговещения есть, мы же молчим и медлим до света утренняго, и обрящем беззаконие: и ныне приидем и внидем, и возвестим в дому цареве.
10 So they came and called unto the porters of the city; and they told them, saying. 'We came to the camp of the Arameans, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.'
И внидоша, и возопиша ко вратом града и возвестиша им, глаголюще: внидохом в полк Сирийский, и се, не бысть ту мужа, ни гласа человеча, но токмо кони привязани, и ослята, и сени их якоже суть.
11 And the porters called, and they told it to the king's household within.
И возопиша вратницы, и возвестиша в дому цареве внутрь.
12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants: 'I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.'
И воста нощию царь и рече ко отроком своим: возвещу вам ныне, яже сотвориша нам Сириане: разумеша, яко гладни есмы, и изыдоша из стана, и сокрышася на селе, глаголюще: яко изыдут из града, и имем я живы и во град внидем.
13 And one of his servants answered and said: 'Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city — behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed — and let us send and see.'
И отвеща един от отрок его и рече: да возмут ныне пять коней оставших, иже осташася зде, се, суть у толикаго множества Израилева оставшиися, и послем тамо, и узрим.
14 They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Arameans, saying: 'Go and see.'
И взяша два всадника коней: и посла царь Израилев вслед царя Сирска, глаголя: идите и видите.
15 And they went after them unto the Jordan; and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
И идоша вслед их даже до Иордана, и се, весь путь исполнен одежд и оружия, яже повергоша Сириане, внегда устрашится им. И возвратишася посланнии, и возвестиша царю.
16 And the people went out, and spoiled the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
И изыдоша людие, и разграбиша весь стан Сирский. И бысть мера муки пшеничны за сикль един и две меры ячменя за сикль, по глаголу Господню.
17 And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
И царь пристави тристата, на егоже руце царь почиваше, у врат: и попраша его людие во вратех, и умре, якоже глагола человек Божий, иже глагола, егда посланный прииде к нему.
18 And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying: 'Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria';
И бысть якоже рече Елиссей к царю глаголя: две меры ячменя за сикль един, и мера муки пшеничны за сикль: и будет якоже сей час заутра во вратех Самарии.
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said: 'Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?' and he said: 'Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof';
И отвеща тристат Елиссею и рече: аще Господь отверзет хляби небесныя, не будет глагол сей. И рече Елиссей: се, узриши очима твоима, и оттуду и не имаши ясти.
20 it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
И бысть тако, и попраша его людие во вратех, и умре.
