1 Kings 22
1 For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
И седе три лета, и не бе брани между Сириею и между Израилем.
2 Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
И бысть в лето третие, и сниде Иосафат царь Иудин к царю Израилеву.
3 [While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
И рече царь Израилев ко отроком своим: весте ли, яко моя есть Реммафа Галаадская, и мы молчим взяти ю от руки царя Сирийска?
4 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: взыдеши ли с нами в Реммафу Галаадскую на брань? И рече Иосафат: якоже аз, такожде и ты: якоже людие мои, людие твои: якоже кони мои, кони твои.
5 Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
И рече Иосафат царь Иудин к царю Израилеву: вопросите убо днесь Господа.
6 So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
И собра царь Израилев вся пророки яко четыреста мужей, и рече царь им: взыду ли в Реммафу Галаадскую на брань, или оставлю? И реша: взыди, яко дая предаст Господь в руки царевы.
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
И рече Иосафат к царю Израилеву: несть ли зде пророка Господня, и вопросили быхом Господа им?
8 The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: еще есть един муж на вопрошение им Господа, и аз возненавидех его, яко не глаголет о мне добре, но злая, Михеа сын Иемвлаань. И рече царь Иосафат Иудин: не глаголи, царю, тако.
9 So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
И призва царь Израилев скопца единаго и рече: скоро иди по Михею сына Иемвлааня.
10 The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
Царь же Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин седяста кийждо на престоле своем вооружени во вратех Самарийских, и вси пророцы прорицаху пред ними.
11 One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
И сотвори себе Седекиа сын Ханаань рога железна и рече: тако глаголет Господь: сими рогами избодеши Сирию, дондеже скончается.
12 All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
И вси пророцы прорицаху тако, глаголюще: взыди в Реммафу Галаадскую, и наставит тя, и предаст Господь в руце твои царя Сирийскаго.
13 Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
И посол шед призвати Михею, рече ему, глаголя: се, ныне вси пророцы усты едиными глаголют добрая о цари, буди убо и ты в словесех твоих по словесем единаго от сих и глаголи добрая.
14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
И рече Михеа: жив Господь, яко яже речет Господь ко мне, сия возглаголю.
15 When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
И прииде ко царю. И рече ему царь: Михее, взыду ли в Реммафу Галаадскую на брань, или оставлю? И рече ему: взыди, и благопоспешит Господь в руки царевы.
16 But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
И рече ему царь: еще аз дважды заклинаю тя, да речеши истину пред Господем.
17 So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
И рече Михеа: не тако: видех всего Израиля разсеяна по горам якоже стада, имже несть пастыря: и рече Господь: не Господь ли сим в Бога? Да возвратится кийждо в дом свой с миром.
18 Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату царю Иудину: не рех ли тебе, яко не проричет сей ми добрая, но токмо злая?
19 But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
И рече Михеа: не тако: не аз: слыши глагол Господень: не тако: видех Господа Бога Израилева седящаго на престоле Своем, и все воинство небесное стояше окрест Его одесную Его и ошуюю Его:
20 And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
и рече Господь: кто прельстит Ахаава царя Израилева, и взыдет и падет в Реммафе Галаадстей? И рече сей тако, и сей тако:
21 Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
и изыде дух, и ста пред Господем, и рече: аз прельщу и:
22 Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
и рече к нему Господь: в чем? И рече: изыду и буду дух лжив во устех всех пророк его: и рече: прельстиши и возможеши: изыди и сотвори тако:
23 So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
и се, ныне даде Господь дух лжив во уста всех пророк твоих сих, и Господь глагола на тя злая.
24 Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
И приступи Седекиа сын Ханаань, и порази Михею в лице и рече: каковый сей прейде Дух Господень от мене, еже глаголати в тебе?
25 Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
И рече Михеа: се, ты узриши в день он, егда внидеши в ложницу сокровища твоего, еже скрытися ту.
26 King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
И рече царь Израилев: поимите Михею, и возвратите его ко Аммону князю града и ко Иоасу сыну цареву,
27 Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
и рцыте, да посадят его в темницу, и да кормят его хлебом печальным и водою печальною, дондеже возвращуся в мире.
28 Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
И рече Михеа: аще возвращаяся возвратишися в мире, то не глагола Господь мною. И рече: слышите, людие вси.
29 So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
И взыде царь Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин с ним в Реммафу Галаадскую.
30 King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату царю Иудину: прикрый мя, и вниду в сечь, и ты облецыся в ризу мою. И прикрыся царь Израилев и вниде в сечь.
31 The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
Царь же Сирский заповеда князем колесниц своих тридесятим и двум, глаголя: не бийтеся ни с великим ни с малым, но токмо с царем Израилевым единым.
32 So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
И бысть егда узреша воеводы колесниц Иосафата царя Иудина, и реша: видится царь Израилев сей. И обступиша его еже сразитися с ним: и возопи Иосафат.
33 they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
И бысть егда узреша воеводы колесниц, яко несть царь Израилев той, и возвратишася от него:
34 But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
и наляче лук един муж приметно, и порази царя Израилева между легким и щитом. И рече (царь) всаднику своему: обрати руки твоя, и изведи мя от брани, яко язвен есмь.
35 The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
И умножися брань в той день, и царь бе стоя на колеснице противу Сириан от утра даже до вечера, и лияшеся кровь из язвы в недра колесницы, и умре в вечер, и изливашеся кровь от язвы даже до недр колесницы.
36 Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
И ста проповедник о западе солнца, глаголя: кийждо вас да идет во свой град и во свою землю, яко умре царь.
37 So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
И приидоша в Самарию, и погребоша в Самарии царя.
38 They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
И омыша кровь с колесницы на источнице Самарийстем, и полизаша свинии и пси кровь его, и блудницы измышася в крови его, по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола.
39 The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Прочая же словес Ахаавлих, и вся яже сотвори, и храм слоновый, егоже созда, и вся грады, яже сотвори, не се ли, сия писана быша в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
40 When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
И успе Ахаав со отцы своими, и воцарися Охозиа сын его вместо его.
41 Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
И Иосафат сын Асы воцарися над Иудою в четвертое лето Ахаава царя Израилева.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Иосафат сын тридесяти пяти лет (бе), егда нача царствовати, и двадесять пять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Азува, дщи Салаиля.
43 Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
И хождаше по всем путем Асы отца своего, не уклонися от него, творя правое пред очима Господнима, токмо высоких не разори: еще людие жряху и кадяху на высоких.
44 Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
И умирися Иосафат с царем Израилевым.
45 All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Прочая же словес Иосафатовых, и силы его, елика сотвори, не се ли, писана суть в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных?
46 Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
И прочее мерзости, еже остася во дни Асы отца его, отя от земли.
47 At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
И царя не бе во Едоме поставленнаго.
48 Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
Царь же Иосафат сотвори корабли Фарсийския, еже ити во Офир по злато, но не поидоша, зане сокрушишася корабли во Асеон-Гавере.
49 Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Тогда рече Охозиа сын Ахаавль ко Иосафату: да идут раби мои с рабы твоими в кораблех. И не восхоте Иосафат.
50 When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
И умре Иосафат со отцы своими, и погребен бысть у отец своих во граде Давида отца своего. И воцарися Иорам сын его вместо его.
51 Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
И Охозиа сын Ахаавов воцарися над Израилем в Самарии, в лето седмоенадесять Иосафата царя Иудина, и царствова над Израилем в Самарии лета два,
52 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
и сотвори лукавое пред Господем, и нача ходити по путем отца своего Ахаава и по пути Иезавели матере своея, и во гресех дому Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже введе во грех Израиля:
53 Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
и поработа Ваалу, и поклонися ему, и разгнева Господа Бога Израилева, по всем бывшым прежде его.
