2 Kings 23
1 Then the king summoned all the elders of Jerusalem and [of the other places in] Judah.
И возвестиша сия глаголы цареви: и посла царь, и собра к себе вся старейшины Иудины и Иерусалимляны,
2 They went together to the temple, along with the priests and the prophets, and many other [HYP] people, from the most important people to the least important people. And while they listened, the king read to them all of the laws that Moses had written. He read from the scroll that had been found in the temple.
и вниде царь в дом Господень, и вси мужие Иудины и вси живущии во Иерусалиме с ним, и жерцы, и пророцы, и вси людие от мала и до велика, и прочте во ушеса их вся словеса книги завета обретшияся в дому Господни:
3 Then the king stood next to the pillar [where the kings stood when they made important announcements], and while Yahweh was listening, he repeated his promise to sincerely obey [DOU] all of Yahweh’s commands and regulations [DOU]. He also promised to (fulfill the conditions of/do what was written in) the agreement he made with Yahweh. And all the people also promised to obey the agreement.
и ста царь у столпа и завеща завет пред Господем, еже ходити вслед Господа и хранити заповеди Его и свидения Его и оправдания Его всем сердцем и всею душею, еже возставити словеса завета сего, яже писана в книзе сей. И сташа вси людие в завете.
4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the Supreme Priest and all the other priests who assisted him and the men who guarded the entrance to the temple to bring out from the temple all the items that people had been using to worship Baal, the goddess Asherah, and the stars. [After they carried them out, ] they burned all those things outside the city near the Kidron Valley. Then they took all the ashes to Bethel, [because that city was already considered to be desecrated/unholy].
И заповеда царь Хелкии жерцу великому и жерцем вторым и стрегущым врат изнести от храма Господня вся сосуды сотвореныя Ваалу и Дубраве и всей силе небесней, и сожже и вне Иерусалима в Садимофе Кедрсте и изверже прах их в Вефиль:
5 There were many pagan priests that the previous kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense on the altars on the tops of hills in Judah. They had been offering sacrifices to Baal, to the sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars. The king stopped them from doing those things.
и сожже хомаримы, ихже даша царие Иудины, и кадяху в высоких и во градех Иудиных и во окрестных Иерусалима, и кадящих Ваалу, и солнцу, и луне, и планетам и всей силе небесней:
6 He [commanded that] the statue of the goddess Asherah [be] taken out of the temple. Then they took it outside Jerusalem, down to the Kidron Brook, and burned it. Then they pounded the ashes to powder and scattered that over the graves in the public cemetery.
и изнесе кумир из храма Господня вне Иерусалима на поток Кедрск, и сожже его в потоце Кедрсте, и истни в прах, и вверже прах их в гробы сынов людских:
7 He also destroyed the rooms in the temple where the temple male prostitutes lived. That was where women wove robes that were used to worship the goddess Asherah.
и разруши храм кадисимов, иже бе в храме Господни, идеже жены прядяху ризы кумиру:
8 Josiah also brought [to Jerusalem] all the priests who were offering sacrifices in the other cities in Judah. He also desecrated the places on the tops of hills where the priests had burned incense [to honor idols], from Geba [in the north] to Beersheba [in the south]. Those priests were not allowed to offer sacrifices in the temple, but they [were allowed to] eat the unleavened bread that the priests [who worked in the temple] ate. He also [commanded that] the altars that were dedicated to the goat demons near the gate built by Joshua, the mayor of Jerusalem, [be] destroyed. Those altars were at the left of the main gate into the city.
и возведе вся жерцы от градов Иудиных, и оскверни высокая, идеже кадяху жерцы, от Гаваи да Вирсавеи: и разруши храм врат, иже бе при дверех врат Иисуса князя граднаго, иже ошуюю входящым дверми града.
Обаче не вхождаху жерцы высоких ко олтарю Господню во Иерусалиме, но токмо ядяху опресноки посреде братии своея.
10 Josiah also desecrated the place named Topheth, in the Hinnom Valley, in order that no one could offer his son or daughter there to be completely burned for a sacrifice to [the god] Molech.
И оскверни Тафефа, иже в дебри сынов Еномлих, еже не превести мужу сына своего и мужу дщере своея Молоху сквозе огнь:
11 He also removed the horses that the [previous] kings of Judah had dedicated to worshiping the sun, and he burned the chariots that were used in that worship. Those horses and chariots were kept in the courtyard outside the temple, near the entrance to the temple, and near the room where [one of Josiah’s] officials, whose name was Nathan-Melech, lived.
и сожже кони, ихже даша царие Иудины солнцу во входе храму Господня, при влагалищи Нафана, царева скопца во Фаруриме: и колесницу солнечную сожже огнем:
12 Josiah also commanded his servants to tear down the altars that the previous kings of Judah had built on the roof of the palace, above the room where King Ahaz had stayed. They also tore down the altars that had been built by King Manasseh in the two courtyards outside the temple. He commanded that they be smashed to pieces and thrown down into the Kidron Valley.
и олтари, яже на крове горницы Ахазовы, яже сотвориша царие Иудины и олтари, иже созда Манассиа во двою двору храма Господня, раскопа царь, и сверже оттуду, и всыпа прах их в поток Кедрск:
13 He also commanded that the altars that King Solomon had built east of Jerusalem, south of Olive Tree Hill, be desecrated. Solomon had built them for the worship of the disgusting idols—the [statue of the goddess] Astarte [worshiped by the people in] Sidon [city], Chemosh the god of the Moab people-group, and Molech the god of the Ammon people-group.
и храм, иже пред лицем Иерусалима, одесную горы Мосфаф, егоже созда Соломон царь Израилев Астарте мерзости Сидонстей и Хамосу мерзости Моавли и Молхолу мерзости сынов Аммоних, оскверни царь:
14 They also broke into pieces the stone pillars that the Israeli people worshiped, and cut down the [pillars that honored the goddess] Asherah, and they scattered the ground there with human bones [to desecrate it].
и сокруши столпы, и искорени дубравы, и наполни места их костми человеческими:
15 Furthermore, he commanded them to tear down the place of worship at Bethel which had been built by King Jeroboam, the king who persuaded the people of Israel to sin. They tore down the altar. Then they broke its stones into pieces and pounded them to become powder. They also burned the statue [of the goddess] Asherah.
и олтарь иже во Вефили высокий, егоже сотвори Иеровоам сын Наватов, иже в грех введе Израиля, и олтарь той высокий раскопа, и сокруши камение его, и истни в прах, и сожже кумиры.
16 Then Josiah looked around and saw some tombs there on the hill. He commanded his men to take the bones out of those tombs and burn them on the altar. By doing that, he desecrated the altar. That was what a prophet had predicted many years before when Jeroboam was standing close to that altar at a festival. Then Josiah looked up and saw the tomb of the prophet who had predicted that.
И восклонися Иосиа, и виде гробы сущыя во граде тамо, и посла, и взя кости от гроб, и сожже на олтари, и оскверни его по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола человек Божий, егда стояше Иеровоам в праздник пред олтарем: и обращься возведе очи свои на гроб человека Божия глаголавшаго словеса сия.
17 Josiah asked, “Whose tomb is that?” The people of Bethel replied, “It is the tomb of the prophet who came from Judah and predicted that these things that you have just now done to this altar would happen.”
И рече: что могила сия, юже аз вижду? И реша ему мужие града: гроб сей человека Божия есть, иже прииде от Иуды и проглагола словеса сия, яже сотворил еси ныне над олтарем, иже в Вефили.
18 Josiah replied, “Allow his tomb to remain as it is. Do not remove the prophet’s bones from the tomb.” So the people did not remove those bones, or the bones of the other prophet, the one who had come from Samaria.
И рече: оставите его, да не подвижет ни един муж костей его. И оставиша кости его с костьми пророка пришедшаго от Самарии.
19 In every city in Israel, at Josiah’s command, they tore down the shrines that had been built by the previous kings of Israel, which had caused Yahweh to become very angry. He did to all those shrines/altars the same thing that he had done to the altars at Bethel.
Еще и вся храмы высоких сущих во градех Самарийских, яже сотвориша царие Израилевы прогневляюще Господа, отверже Иосиа, и сотвори им вся дела, яже сотвори в Вефили,
20 He ordered that all the priests who offered sacrifices on the altars on the tops of hills must be killed on those altars. Then he burned human bones on every one of those altars [to desecrate them]. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
и закла вся жерцы высоких сущыя тамо пред олтарми, и сожже на них кости человечи, и возвратися во Иерусалим.
21 Then the king commanded all the people to celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh their God, which was written in the law of Moses that they should do [every year].
И заповеда царь всем людем, глаголя: сотворите пасху Господеви Богу нашему, якоже писано в книзе завета сего:
22 During all the years that leaders ruled Israel and during all the years that kings had ruled Israel and Judah, they had not celebrated that festival.
яко не бысть пасха сия от дний судий, иже судиша Израилеви, и во всех днех царей Израилевых и царей Иудиных:
23 But now, after Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, to [honor] Yahweh they celebrated the Passover Festival in Jerusalem.
но токмо во осмоенадесять лето царя Иосии бысть пасха Господу во Иерусалиме.
24 Furthermore, Josiah got rid of all the people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah who practiced sorcery and those who requested the spirits of dead people [to tell them what they should do]. He also removed from Jerusalem and from the other places in Judah all the household idols and all the other idols and abominable things. He did those things in order to obey what had been written in the scroll that Hilkiah had found in the temple.
Еще и волшебники, и вражбиты, и ферафимы, и кумиры, и вся мерзости бывшыя в земли Иудине и во Иерусалиме, искорени царь Иосиа, да утвердит словеса законная писанная в книзе, юже обрете Хелкиа жрец в храме Господни.
25 Josiah was totally devoted to Yahweh. There had never been [in Judah or Israel] a king like him. He obeyed all the laws of Moses. And there has never since then been a king like Josiah.
Подобен ему не бысть пред ним царь, иже обратися к Господеви всем сердцем своим и всею душею своею и всею силою своею по всему закону Моисеову, и по нем не воста подобен ему.
26 But Yahweh had become extremely angry with the people of Judah because of all the things that [King] Manasseh had done to infuriate him, and he continued to be very angry.
Обаче не отвратися Господь от ярости гнева Своего великаго, имже возярися гневом на Иуду, на прогневания, имиже прогнева Его Манассиа,
27 He said, “I will do to Judah what I have done to Israel. I will banish the people of Judah, with the result that they will never enter my presence again. And I will reject Jerusalem, the city that I chose [to belong to me], and I will abandon the temple, the place where I said that I [MTY] should be worshiped.”
и рече Господь: еще и Иуду отрину от лица Моего, якоже отринух Израиля, и град сей отвергу, егоже избрах, Иерусалима, и храм, о немже рех: будет имя Мое ту.
28 [If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Josiah did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
И прочая словес Иосиевых, и вся елика сотвори, не сия ли написана в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных?
29 While Josiah was the king of Judah, King Neco of Egypt led his army north to the Euphrates River to help the king of Assyria. King Josiah tried to stop the army of Egypt at Megiddo [city], but Josiah was killed in a battle there.
Во днех же его взыде фараон Нехао царь Египетск на царя Ассирийска на реку Евфрат: и изыде царь Иосиа на сретение ему, и уби его Нехао царь в Магеддоне, егда его узре.
30 His officials placed his corpse in a chariot and took it back to Jerusalem, where it was buried in his own tomb, a tomb where the other previous kings had not been buried. Then the people of Judah poured [olive] oil on [the head of] Josiah’s son Joahaz, to appoint him to be the new king.
И взяша его отроцы его мертва из Магеддона и принесоша его во Иерусалим, и погребоша его во гробе его во граде Давидове. И пояша людие земли тоя Иоахаза сына Иосиина и помазаша его, и воцариша его вместо отца его.
31 Joahaz was 23 years old when he became the king [of Judah], but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months. His mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah [city].
Сын двадесяти и триех лет бе Иоахаз, внегда нача царствовати и три месяцы царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Амитала, дщи Иеремии из Ловны.
32 Joahaz did many things that Yahweh said were evil, just like many of his ancestors had done.
И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
33 King Neco’s [army came from Egypt and captured him and] tied him up with chains and took him as a prisoner to Riblah [town] in Hamath [district], to prevent him from continuing to rule in Jerusalem. Neco forced the people of Judah to pay to him (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.) of silver and (75 pounds/34 kg.) of gold.
И пресели его фараон Нехао в Ревлаам в землю Емаф, да не царствует во Иерусалиме, и возложи дань на землю ту сто талант сребра и сто талант злата.
34 King Neco appointed another son of Josiah, Eliakim, to be the new king, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Joahaz to Egypt, and later Joahaz died there in Egypt.
И постави царем фараон Нехао над ними Елиакима, сына Иосии царя Иудина, вместо Иосии отца его, и премени имя ему Иоаким: Иоахаза же взя и введе во Египет и умре тамо.
35 King Jehoiakim collected a tax from the people [of Judah]. He collected more from the rich people and less from the poor people. He collected silver and gold from them, in order to pay to the king of Egypt what he commanded them to give.
И сребро и злато даде Иоаким фараону, обаче написа землю даяти сребро по словеси фараоню: муж по оценению своему даяше сребро и злато от людий земли тоя даяти фараону Нехао.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah [town].
Сын бе двадесяти и пяти лет Иоаким, егда нача царствовати, и единонадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Иелдаф, дщи Фадаиля, от Румы.
37 He did many things that Yahweh says are evil, like his ancestors had done.
И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
