< Judges 3 >

1 Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
И сия языки, яже остави Господь, да искусит ими Израиля, вся неведущыя браней Ханаанских,
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
токмо ради родов сынов Израилевых, еже научити я брани, обаче иже прежде их не уведаша их:
3 [Namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
пять воеводств иноплеменнических, и всего Хананеа и Сидония, и Евеа живущаго в Ливане от горы Ваал-Ермон до Лавоемафа.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
И бысть да искусит ими Израиля, да увесть, аще послушают заповедий Господних, яже заповеда отцем их рукою Моисеовою.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
И сынове Израилевы обиташа посреде Хананеа и Хеттеа, и Аморреа и Ферезеа, и Евеа и Гергесеа и Иевусеа,
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
и пояша дщери их себе в жены, и дщери своя даша сыном их, и послужиша богом их.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
И сотвориша сынове Израилевы злое пред Господем и забыша Господа Бога своего, и послужиша Ваалу и Дубравам.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
И разгневася яростию Господь на Израиля и предаде их в руки Хусарсафема царя Месопотамии Сирския: и работаша сынове Израилевы Хусарсафему лет осмь.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу. И возстави Господь спасителя Израилю, и спасе их, Гофониила, сына Кенеза брата Халевова юнейшаго его.
10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
И бысть на нем Дух Господень, и суди Израиля. И изыде на рать к Хусарсафему: и предаде Господь в руце его Хусарсафема царя Сирска, и укрепися рука его над Хусарсафемом.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
И бысть в покои земля четыредесять лет. И умре Гофониил сын Кенезов.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
И приложиша сынове Израилевы сотворити злое пред Господем: и укрепи Господь Еглома царя Моавля на Израиля, занеже сотвориша злое пред Господем.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
И собра к себе вся сыны Аммони и Амаликовы: и иде, и порази Израиля, и взя град Финическ.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
И работаша сынове Израилевы Еглому царю Моавлю лет осмьнадесять.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу: и возстави им Господь спасителя, Аода сына Гираня, сына Иемениина, мужа ободесноручна: и послаша сынове Израилевы дары рукою его Еглому царю Моавлю.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
И сотвори себе Аод нож обоюдуостр, на пядь едину долгота его, и припояса его под ризу по бедре десней своей.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
И иде, и принесе дары Еглому царю Моавлю: Еглом же муж добротелесен бе зело.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
И бысть егда сконча Аод принося дары, и отсла носящих дары:
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
и Еглом обратися от идол иже в Галгалех. И рече Аод: слово мне есть к тебе тайно, царю. И рече Еглом к нему: молчи. И отсла от себе всех предстоящих пред ним.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of [his] seat.
И Аод вниде к нему. Сей же седяше в горнице летней своей един. И рече Аод: слово Божие мне к тебе, царю. И воста Еглом со престола близ его.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
И бысть егда воста, и простре Аод руку левую свою, и извлече нож, иже над стегном его десным, и вонзе во чрево егломово:
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
и втисне и рукоять за острием, и заключи тук за острием, яко не извлече ножа из чрева его, (и изыде лайно).
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
И изыде Аод в притвор, и пройде стрегущих, и затвори двери горницы за собою и заключи,
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
и сам изыде. И раби его приидоша и узреша, и се, двери горницы заключены, и реша: еда у потребы седит во отлучении ложа?
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened [them: ] and, behold, their lord [was] fallen down dead on the earth.
И преждаша дондеже посрамишася: и се, не бысть отверзаяй двери горницы. И взяша ключь, и отверзоша: и се, господин их лежит на земли мертв.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
И Аод спасеся внегда смущахуся, и не бе помышляющаго о нем: а он прейде идолы, и спасеся в Сетирофе.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
И бысть егда прииде Аод в землю Израилеву, и воструби рогом в горе Ефремли: и снидоша с ним с горы сынове Израилевы, и той пред ними.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
И рече к ним: идите вслед мене, яко предаде Господь Бог враги нашя Моавляны в руки нашя. И идоша вслед его, и предвзяша преходы Иордана Моавля, и ни единому мужу попустиша преити.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
И избиша Моава в то время яко десять тысящ мужей, вся воины, иже в них, и всякаго мужа сильна: и ни един муж спасеся.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
И пременися Моав в той день под руку Израилеву, и бысть в покои земля осмьдесят лет: и суди их Аод дондеже умре.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
И по нем воста Самегар сын Анафов: и изби иноплеменников шесть сот мужей ралом воловым: и спасе и сей Израиля.
