< 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 of it:
токмо ради родов сынов Израилевых, еже научити я брани, обаче иже прежде их не уведаша их:
3 namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
пять воеводств иноплеменнических, и всего Хананеа и Сидония, и Евеа живущаго в Ливане от горы Ваал-Ермон до Лавоемафа.
4 They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to 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 The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 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 own 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 The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
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 kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan 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 When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу. И возстави Господь спасителя Израилю, и спасе их, Гофониила, сына Кенеза брата Халевова юнейшаго его.
10 The Ruach of the LORD came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan 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 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 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was 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 He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they 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 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 to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to 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 Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
И сотвори себе Аод нож обоюдуостр, на пядь едину долгота его, и припояса его под ризу по бедре десней своей.
17 He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
И иде, и принесе дары Еглому царю Моавлю: Еглом же муж добротелесен бе зело.
18 When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
И бысть егда сконча Аод принося дары, и отсла носящих дары:
19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who 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 Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." 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 it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword 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 handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
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 into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
И изыде Аод в притвор, и пройде стрегущих, и затвори двери горницы за собою и заключи,
24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
и сам изыде. И раби его приидоша и узреша, и се, двери горницы заключены, и реша: еда у потребы седит во отлучении ложа?
25 They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, 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 Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
И Аод спасеся внегда смущахуся, и не бе помышляющаго о нем: а он прейде идолы, и спасеся в Сетирофе.
27 It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, 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 He said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow 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 They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; 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. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
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, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
И по нем воста Самегар сын Анафов: и изби иноплеменников шесть сот мужей ралом воловым: и спасе и сей Израиля.
