Nehemiah 13
1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever;
В день той чтено бысть в книзе Моисеове во слышание людем, и обретеся написано в ней: да не имут внити Амманитяне и Моавитяне в церковь Божию даже до века,
2 because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them; howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
понеже не сретоша сынов Израилевых со хлебом и водою и наяша на них Валаама на проклятие их: и обрати Бог наш проклятство на благословение.
3 And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the alien mixture.
И бысть егда слышаху закон, и отлучиша всех чуждих от Израиля.
4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah,
И прежде сего Елиасив священник живяше в сокровищнем дому Бога нашего, сродник Товиин,
5 had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave-offerings for the priests.
и сотвори ему сокровищный дом велик: таможе бяху прежде приносяще жертву и ливан, и сосуды и десятину пшеницы и вина и елеа, уставленая левитом и певцем и дверником, и начатки священническия.
6 But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king, and after certain days asked I leave of the king;
Во всех же сих не бых во Иерусалиме, понеже в лето тридесять второе Артаксеркса царя Вавилонскаго приидох ко царю: и по скончании дний испросих от царя
7 and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
и приидох во Иерусалим, и уразумех зло, еже сотвори Елиасив Товии, сотворити ему сокровищный дом во дворе дому Божия,
8 And it grieved me sore; therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
и зло явися ми зело: и извергох вся сосуды дому Товиева вон из дому сокровищнаго,
9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers; and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense.
и рекох, и очистиша сокровищный дом: и возвратих онамо сосуды дому Божия, жертву и ливан.
10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
И познах, яко части левитския не быша даны, и побегоша кийждо на село свое левити и певцы творящии дело.
11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said: 'Why is the house of God forsaken?' And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
И пряхся со стратигами и рекох: чесо ради оставлен бысть дом Божий? И собрах их и поставих оных во стояниих своих.
12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
И весь Иуда принесоша десятину пшеницы и вина и елеа в сокровища под руку Селемии священника и Садока писца и фадаии от левит,
13 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
и при них Анан сын Закхуров, сын Матфаниев, яко верни искушени суть над ними разделяти братиям своим.
14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the wards thereof.
Помяни мя, Боже, того ради, и да не погибнет милость моя, юже сотворих в дому Господа Бога моего и в чинех его.
15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in heaps of corn, and lading asses therewith; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I forewarned them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
Во днех тех видех во Иуде топчущих точило в субботу, и носящих снопы, и возлагающих на ослы и вино, и гроздие, и смоквы, и всякое бремя, и носящих во Иерусалим во дни субботныя: и засвидетелствовах им в день продаяния их.
16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
И Тиряне обиташа в нем приносяще рыбы, и вся продаемая продающе в субботы сыновом Иудиным и во Иерусалиме.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them: 'What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
И обличих сынов Иудиных свободных и рекох им: что сия вещь злая, юже вы творите, и скверните день субботный?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.'
Не сия ли сотвориша отцы ваши, и наведе на них Бог наш и на нас вся злая сия, и на град сей, и вы прилагаете гнев на Израиля, скверняще субботу?
19 And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath; and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
Бысть же егда поставишася врата во Иерусалиме прежде субботы, и рекох, и запроша двери и повелех, да не отверзают их даже по субботе: и от отрок моих поставих над враты, да ни един вносит бремя в день субботный.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
И сташа вси и творяху куплю вне Иерусалима единощи и дващи.
21 Then I forewarned them, and said unto them: 'Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you.' From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
И засвидетелствовах о них и рекох им: что вы пребываете пред стеною? Аще вторицею сие сотворите, простру руку мою на вас. И от времене того не приидоша в субботу.
22 And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Thy mercy.
И рекох левитом, иже бяху очищени, дабы приходили хранити врат и святити день субботный. И сих ради помяни мя, Боже, и прости ми по множеству милости Твоея.
23 In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab;
И во днех онех видех Иудеев поемших жены Азотския, Амманитяны, Моавитския,
24 and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
и сынове их от полу глаголаху азотским языком и не умеяху глаголати иудейски:
25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God: 'Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.
и запретих им, и проклях их, и поразих от них мужей, и оплеших их, и заклях их Богом, аще дадите дщери вашя сыновом их и аще поймете от дщерей их сыновом вашым и себе:
26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless even him did the foreign women cause to sin.
не тако ли согреши Соломон царь Израилев? И во языцех мнозех не бысть царь подобен ему, и возлюблен Богу бе, и постави его Бог царем над всем Израилем, и того прельстиша жены чуждия:
27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to break faith with our God in marrying foreign women?'
и мы послушаем ли вас творити всяко зло сие, согрешити Богу нашему, еже пояти жены иноплеменничи?
28 And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.
И от сынов Иоада сына Ельтува священника великаго, зятя Санаваллатова Уранитина, и изгнах его от мене.
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Помяни им, Боже, за осквернение священства и завета священническа и левитска.
30 Thus cleansed I them from everything foreign, and appointed wards for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;
И очистих их от всякия чуждия нечистоты, и поставих чреды священником и левитом, комуждо по делу его,
31 and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
и даяние древес во временех уставленых и первородных. Помяни мя, Боже наш, во благое.
