2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His ancestor King David was a good king, but Ahaz was not like David. He constantly disobeyed Yahweh
Двадцати лет был Ахаз, когда воцарился, и шестнадцать лет царствовал в Иерусалиме; и он не делал угодного в очах Господних, как делал Давид, отец его:
2 and was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He made idols of the god Baal.
он шел путями царей Израильских, и даже сделал литые статуи Ваалов;
3 He burned incense in Hinnom Valley. He even [killed some of] his own sons [and] offered [them] as sacrifices to be completely burned. That imitated the disgusting customs of the people-groups who previously lived there, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis advanced through the land.
и он совершал курения на долине сынов Еннома, и проводил сыновей своих через огонь, подражая мерзостям народов, которых изгнал Господь пред лицем сынов Израилевых;
4 Ahaz offered sacrifices [to idols] at shrines on hilltops and under every big green tree.
и приносил жертвы и курения на высотах и на холмах и под всяким ветвистым деревом.
5 Therefore Yahweh his God allowed his army to be defeated by the army of the king of Syria. They captured many soldiers of Judah and took them as prisoners to Damascus. The army of the king of Israel also defeated the army of Judah and killed very many of their soldiers.
И предал его Господь Бог его в руку царя Сириян, и они поразили его и взяли у него множество пленных и отвели в Дамаск. Также и в руку царя Израильского был предан он, и тот произвел у него великое поражение.
6 In one day the army of Remaliah’s son, King Pekah [of Israel], killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah. That happened because [the people of] Judah had abandoned Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
И избил Факей, сын Ремалиин, царь Израильский, Иудеев сто двадцать тысяч в один день, людей воинственных, потому что они оставили Господа Бога отцов своих.
7 Zicri, a warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed king Ahaz’s son Maaseiah, Azrikam the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, the king’s assistant.
Зихрий же, силач из Ефремлян, убил Маасею, сына царя, и Азрикама, начальствующего над дворцом, и Елкану, второго по царе.
8 The soldiers of Israel captured 200,000 of the people of Judah, including many wives and sons and daughters [of the soldiers of Judah]. They also seized and took back to Samaria many valuable things.
И взяли сыны Израилевы в плен у братьев своих, Иудеев, двести тысяч жен, сыновей и дочерей; также и множество добычи награбили у них, и отправили добычу в Самарию.
9 But a prophet of Yahweh whose name was Obed was there [in Samaria]. He went out of the city to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [belonged to], was angry with [the people of] Judah, he allowed you to defeat them. But God has seen the cruel way that you slaughtered them.
Там был пророк Господень, имя его Одед. Он вышел пред лице войска, шедшего в Самарию, и сказал им: вот Господь Бог отцов ваших, во гневе на Иудеев, предал их в руку вашу, и вы избили их с такою яростью, которая достигла до небес.
10 And now you want to [sin by] causing men and women from Judah to become your slaves, but you have certainly also sinned against Yahweh our God!
И теперь вы думаете поработить сынов Иуды и Иерусалима в рабы и рабыни себе. А разве на самих вас нет вины пред Господом Богом вашим?
11 So listen to me! Send back [to Judah] your fellow-countrymen whom you have captured, because Yahweh is extremely angry with you [for what you did to them].”
Итак послушайте меня, и возвратите пленных, которых вы захватили из братьев ваших, ибо пламень гнева Господня на вас.
12 Then some of the leaders of [the tribe of] Ephraim—Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berekiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rebuked those who were returning from the battle.
И встали некоторые из начальников сынов Ефремовых: Азария, сын Иегоханана, Берехия, сын Мешиллемофа, и Езекия, сын Шаллума, и Амаса, сын Хадлая, против шедших с войны,
13 They said to them, “You must not bring those prisoners here! If you do that, Yahweh will consider that we are guilty of sinning. We are already guilty of committing many sins; do you want to cause us to be even more guilty by committing another sin? God is already very angry with [us people of] Israel!”
и сказали им: не вводите сюда пленных, потому что грех был бы нам пред Господом. Неужели вы думаете прибавить к грехам нашим и к преступлениям нашим? велика вина наша, и пламень гнева Господня над Израилем.
14 So, while their leaders and others were watching, the soldiers released the prisoners, and also gave back to them the valuable things that they had captured.
И оставили вооруженные пленных и добычу у военачальников и всего собрания.
15 The leaders who were selected took some of the clothes that the soldiers had taken from the prisoners and gave those clothes back to the people who were naked. They also gave to the prisoners sandals and other clothes and things to eat and drink, and they gave them olive oil to rub on their wounds. They gave donkeys to those who were very weak, in order that they could ride on them. Then they led them all to Jericho, the city that had many palm trees. Then those leaders [of Israel] returned to Samaria.
И встали мужи, упомянутые по именам, и взяли пленных, и всех нагих из них одели из добычи, - и одели их, и обули их, и накормили их, и напоили их, и помазали их елеем, и посадили на ослов всех слабых из них, и отправили их в Иерихон, город пальм, к братьям их, и возвратились в Самарию.
16 About that time, King Ahaz sent [a message] to the king of Assyria requesting help.
В то время послал царь Ахаз к царям Ассирийским, чтоб они помогли ему,
17 [He did that because the army from] the Edom people-group had come again and attacked Judah and taken away many of the people of Judah as prisoners.
ибо Идумеяне и еще приходили, и многих побили в Иудее, и взяли в плен;
18 At the same time, men from Philistia had raided/attacked towns in the foothills and in the southern desert of Judah. They had captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth [cities], as well as Soco, Timnah and Gimzo [towns] and the nearby villages.
и Филистимляне рассыпались по городам низменного края и юга Иудеи и взяли Вефсамис и Аиалон, и Гедероф и Сохо и зависящие от него города, и Фимну и зависящие от нее города, и Гимзо и зависящие от него города, и поселились там.
19 Yahweh [allowed those things to happen in order to] humble king Ahaz, because he had encouraged the people of Judah to do wicked things and had disobeyed Yahweh very much.
Так унизил Господь Иудею за Ахаза, царя Иудейского, потому что он развратил Иудею и тяжко грешил пред Господом.
20 Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, sent [his army saying that they would] help Ahaz, but instead of helping him, they caused him to experience trouble.
И пришел к нему Феглафелласар, царь Ассирийский, но был в тягость ему, вместо того, чтобы помочь ему,
21 Ahaz’s [soldiers] took some of the [valuable] things from the temple and from the king’s palace and from other leaders of Judah and sent them to the king of Assyria [to pay him to help them], but the king of Assyria refused to help Ahaz.
потому что Ахаз взял сокровища из дома Господня и дома царского и у князей и отдал царю Ассирийскому, но не в помощь себе.
22 While King Ahaz was experiencing those troubles, he disobeyed Yahweh even more.
И в тесное для себя время он продолжал беззаконно поступать пред Господом, он - царь Ахаз.
23 He offered sacrifices to the gods that were worshiped in Damascus, whose [army] had defeated his [army]. He thought, “The gods that are worshiped by the kings of Syria have helped them, so I will offer sacrifices to those gods in order that they will help me.” But worshiping those gods caused Ahaz and all of Israel to be ruined.
И приносил он жертвы богам Дамасским, думая, что они поражали его, и говорил: боги царей Сирийских помогают им; принесу я жертву им, и они помогут мне. Но они были на падение ему и всему Израилю.
24 Ahaz gathered all the furnishings [that were used] in the temple and broke them into pieces. He locked the doors of the temple and set up altars [for worshiping idols] at every street corner in Jerusalem.
И собрал Ахаз сосуды дома Божия, и сокрушил сосуды дома Божия, и запер двери дома Господня, и устроил себе жертвенники по всем углам в Иерусалиме,
25 In every town in Judah, his workers built shrines to burn sacrifices to other gods, and that caused Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], to be very angry.
и по всем городам Иудиным устроил высоты для каждения богам иным, и раздражал Господа Бога отцов своих.
26 A record of the other things that Ahaz did while he was the king, from when he started to rule until he died, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
Прочие дела его и все поступки его, первые и последние, описаны в книге царей Иудейских и Израильских.
27 Ahaz died and was buried in Jerusalem, but he was not buried in the tombs where the other kings [had been buried]. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
И почил Ахаз с отцами своими, и похоронили его в городе, в Иерусалиме, но не внесли его в гробницы царей Израилевых. И воцарился Езекия, сын его, вместо него.
