2 Chronicles 20
1 It happened after this, that the people of Moab, and the people of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
По сих же приидоша сынове Моавли и сынове Аммони и с ними от Амманитов ко Иосафату на брань.
2 Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Edom. Look, they are in Hazazon Tamar" (that is, En Gedi).
Приидоша же и сказаша Иосафату, глаголюще: идет противу тебе велико множество от об он пол моря от Сирии, и се, стоят во Асасан-Фамаре, иже есть Енгадди.
3 Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Jehovah. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
И убояся, и вдаде Иосафат лице свое взыскати Господа, и проповеда пост во всей Иудеи.
4 Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Jehovah. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Jehovah.
И собрася весь Иуда взыскати Господа: и от всех градов Иудиных приидоша ко умолению Господню.
5 Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;
И ста Иосафат в собрании Иуды во Иерусалиме, в дому Господни пред лицем двора новаго,
6 and he said, "Jehovah, the God of our fathers, aren't you God in heaven? Aren't you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
и рече: Господи Боже отец наших, не Ты ли еси Бог на небеси горе, и Ты владычствуеши всеми царствы язык, и в руку Твоею есть крепость силы, и кто противостанет Тебе?
7 Did you not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
Не Ты ли еси Бог наш искоренивый живущыя на земли сей от лица людий Твоих Израиля, и дал еси ю семени Авраамлю возлюбленному Твоему во веки?
8 They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
И вселишася на ней, и устроиша в ней святыню имени Твоему, глаголюще:
9 'If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.'
аще нападут на ны злая, мечь, суд, губителство, глад, станем пред домом сим и пред Тобою, яко призвано имя Твое в дому сем, и возопием к Тебе от скорбей наших, и услышиши и спасеши:
10 Now, look, the people of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and did not destroy them;
и ныне се, сынове Аммони и Моавли и гора Сиир, сквозе яже не изволил еси Израилю проити, егда исхождаху от земли Египетския, но уклонишася от них и не избиша их:
11 look, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
и се, ныне сии нападают на ны исходяще изгонити нас от наследия нашего, еже предал еси нам.
12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you."
Господи Боже наш, не судиши ли им? В нас бо несть толика крепость, да можем сему множеству сопротивитися, еже нападе на ны, и не вемы что соделати имамы им: но токмо очи наши к Тебе.
13 All Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
И весь Иуда стояше пред Господем, и чада их, и жены их.
14 Then the Spirit of Jehovah came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly;
Бе же Иозиил сын Захариин, сынов Ванеа, сынов Елеила, сынов Мафаниа левитина, от сынов Асафовых, и бысть на нем Дух Господень посреде народа,
15 and he said, "Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Jehovah to you, 'Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
и рече: слышите, весь Иуда и обитающии во Иерусалиме, и ты, царю Иосафате: сия рече Господь вам: не бойтеся, ниже ужасайтеся от лица народа сего многаго, несть бо ваше ополчение, но Божие:
16 Tomorrow go down against them. Look, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
заутра изыдите противу их: се, восходят по восходу Ассис, и обрящете их на краи реки противу пустыни Иериил:
17 You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Jehovah is with you.'"
не ваше есть воевати: сия разумейте и узрите сие спасение Господне с вами, Иудо и Иерусалиме: не убойтеся, ни ужасайтеся заутра изыти противу их, и Господь с вами.
18 Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.
И преклонься Иосафат на лице свое, и весь Иуда, и обитающии во Иерусалиме, падоша пред Господем поклонитися Господеви.
19 The Levites, of the descendants of the Kohathites and of the descendants of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.
И восташа левити от сынов Каафовых и от сынов Кореовых, хвалити Господа Бога Израилева гласом великим в высоту.
20 They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Jehovah your God, so you will be established. Believe his prophets, and you will prosper."
И заутра восташа рано и изыдоша в пустыню Фекое. И внегда исходити им, ста Иосафат (посреде их), и возопи и рече: услышите мя, мужие Иудины и вси обитающии во Иерусалиме: веруйте в Господа Бога нашего и уверитеся: веруйте пророку Его, и благопоспешится вам.
21 When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving kindness endures forever.
И советова с людьми, и постави псалмопевцы, и хвалящих исповедатися, и хвалити святая, внегда изыти пред силою, и глаголаху: исповедайтеся Господеви, яко благ, яко в век милость Его.
22 When they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set ambushers against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
Егда же начаша хваления и исповедания, обрати Господь воевати сынов Аммоних на Моава и гору Сиир, изшедших на Иуду, и поражени быша.
23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another.
И восташа сынове Аммони и Моавли на обитающих в горе Сиири, да побиют их и сокрушат: и егда скончаша обитающих в Сиире, восташа друг на друга, да потребятся.
24 When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and look, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
Иуда же прииде на созирание от пустыни, и воззре, и виде множество: и се, вси мертви падше на землю, и не бе спасыйся.
25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.
И изыде Иосафат и людие его взяти корысти их, и обретоша скота много, и одежды, и корысти, и сосуды дражайшыя и плениша их: и быша собирающе корысти их три дни, яко многи бяху.
26 On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the Valley of Berachah; for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah to this day.
Дне же четвертаго собрахуся во удоль благословения, ибо тако благословиша Господа: сего ради прозваша место то удоль благословения даже до сего дне.
27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
И возвратишася вси мужие Иудины во Иерусалим и Иосафат вождь их с веселием великим: яко возвесели их Господь о вразех их.
28 They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Jehovah.
И внидоша во Иерусалим со псалтирми и гусльми и трубами в дом Господень.
29 The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.
И бысть страх Господень на вся царства земная, внегда услышати им, яко порази Господь враги Израилевы.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.
И умирися царство Иосафатово, и даде ему Господь покой окрест.
31 Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
И царствова Иосафат над Иудою, сый лет тридесяти пяти, егда царство прия и двадесять пять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Азува, дщи Салиина.
32 He walked in the way of Asa his father, and did not turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah.
И хождаше в путех отца своего Асы, и не уклонися от них творити правое пред Господем:
33 However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
обаче высокая еще бяху, и еще людие не управиша сердца своего ко Господу Богу отец своих.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, look, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
Прочая же деяния Иосафатова первая и последняя, се, писана суть во словесех Ииуа сына Ананиина, иже написа книгу царей Израилевых.
35 After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly:
И по сих сообщися Иосафат царь Иудин со Охозиею царем Израилевым, и сей беззаконнова,
36 and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.
занеже сотвори, и отиде к нему, да сотворят корабли, еже ити во Фарсис: и сотвори корабли в Гасион-Гавере.
37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has destroyed your works." The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
И пророчествова Елиезер сын Додиа от Марисиса на Иосафата, глаголя: понеже возимел еси любовь со Охозиею, сокруши Господь дело твое, и сокрушишася корабли твоя и не возмогоша поити во Фарсис.
