1 Kings 20
1 Ben Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army together. There were thirty-two lesser kings with him, and horses and chariots. He went up, besieged Samaria and fought against it.
И сын Адеров царь Сирский собра всю силу свою, и возшед обседе Самарию, и с ним тридесять два царя и вси конницы и колесницы: и взыдоша, и обседоша Самарию, и ратоваша на ню:
2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, “Ben Hadad says this:
и посла ко Ахааву царю Израилеву во град и рече к нему: сице глаголет сын Адеров:
3 'Your silver and your gold are mine. Also your wives and children, the best ones, are now mine.'”
сребро твое и злато твое мое есть, и жены твоя и чада твоя добрая моя суть.
4 The king of Israel answered and said, “It is as you say, my master, king. I and all that I have are yours.”
И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: якоже глаголал еси, господи мой царю, твой есмь аз и вся моя.
5 The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says this, 'I sent word to you saying that you must give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
И возвратишася послы и реша: сице глаголет сын Адеров: аз посылах к тебе, глаголя: сребро и злато твое и жены твоя и чада твоя даждь мне:
6 But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and your servants' houses. They will seize with their own hands and take away whatever pleases their eyes.'”
яко в сей час утро послю рабы моя к тебе, и изыщут дом твой и домы отрок твоих, и будут вся желаемая очес их, на нихже аще возложат руки своя, и возмут.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land together and said, “Please take note and see how this man seeks trouble. He has sent word to me in order to take my wives, children, and silver and gold, and I have not refused him.”
И призва царь Израилев вся старейшины земли и рече: знайте ныне и видите, яко той зле просит, яко присла ко мне (глаголя) о женах моих и о сынех моих и о дщерех моих: сребра моего и злата моего не возбраних ему.
8 All the elders and all the people said to Ahab, “Do not listen to him or consent to his demands.”
И реша ему старейшины и вси людие: не послушай, ни восхощи (дати).
9 So Ahab said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my master the king, 'I agree to everything that you sent your servant to do the first time, but I cannot accept this second demand.'” So the messengers left and took this response to Ben Hadad.
И рече послом сына Адерова: рцыте господину вашему: вся, ихже ради посылал еси к рабу твоему прежде, сотворю, сего же глагола не могу сотворити. И отидоша мужие (адеровы) и возвестиша ему слово.
10 Then Ben Hadad sent his reply to Ahab, and said, “May the gods do so to me and more also, if even the ashes of Samaria will be enough for all the people who follow me to have a handful each.”
И паки посла к нему сын Адеров, глаголя: сия да сотворят ми бози и сия да приложат, аще доволна будет персть Самарии горстем всех людий пешцев моих.
11 The king of Israel answered and said, “Tell Ben Hadad, 'No one who is just putting on his armor, should boast as if he were taking it off.'”
И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: доволно: да не хвалится слячен, якоже прямый.
12 Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings under him who were in their tents. Ben Hadad commanded his men, “Line yourselves up in position for battle.” So they prepared themselves in position of battle to attack the city.
И бысть егда отвеща ему слово сие, бе пиющь сам и вси царие, иже бяху с ним в кущах: и рече отроком своим: сотворите вал. И Сотвориша вал над градом.
13 Then behold, a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and said, “Yahweh says, 'Have you seen this great army? Look, I will place it into your hand today, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
И се, пророк един прииде к Ахааву царю Израилеву и рече: сия глаголет Господь: видиши ли весь народ сей великий? Се, Аз дам его днесь в руце твои, и уразумееши, яко Аз (есмь) Господь.
14 Ahab replied, “By whom?” Yahweh replied and said, “By the young officers who serve the governors of the districts.” Then Ahab said, “Who will begin the battle?” Yahweh answered, “You.”
И рече Ахаав: в чем? И рече: сице глаголет Господь: во отроцех князей градских. И рече Ахаав: кто начнет брань? И рече: ты.
15 Then Ahab mustered the young officers who served the governors of the districts. They numbered 232. After them he mustered all the soldiers, all the army of Israel; seven thousand in number.
И сочте Ахаав отроки князей градских, и бысть их двести тридесять и два: и по сих сочте люди вся сыны силы, седмь тысящ.
16 They went out at noon. Ben Hadad had been drinking himself drunk in his tent, he and the thirty-two lesser kings who were supporting him.
И изыде в полудне: и сын Адеров пиян бе зело в Сокхофе сам и царие (иже с ним), тридесять два царя помощника ему.
17 The young officers who served the governors of the districts went forward first. Then Ben Hadad was informed by scouts that he had sent out, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
И изыдоша отроцы воевод градских в первых. И посла сын Адеров, и возвестиша царю сирскому, глаголюще: мужие изыдоша из Самарии.
18 Ben Hadad said, “Whether they have come out for peace or war, take them alive.”
И рече им: аще на мир изыдоша, поимите их живых: и аще на брань изыдоша, живых поимите их, да не исходят из града.
19 So the young officers who served the governors of the districts went out of the city and the army followed them.
И тии изыдоша из града отроцы воевод градских, и сила вслед их.
20 Each man killed his opponent. The Arameans fled and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse along with some horsemen.
И порази кийждо противнаго себе, и удвои кийждо противнаго себе. И бежа Сириа: и погна их Израиль, и гонзе токмо сын Адеров царь Сирский на кони конника.
21 Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans in a great slaughter.
И изыде царь Израилев, и взя вся кони и колесницы, и порази язвою великою в Сирии.
22 So the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and understand and plan what you are doing, because at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you again.”
И прииде пророк к царю Израилеву и рече: укрепися и разумей, и виждь, что сотвориши, яко преходящу лету сему, сын Адеров, царь Сирийский, приидет на тя.
23 The servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills. That is why they were stronger than we were. But now let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.
И отроцы царя Сирийска реша ему: Бог гор Бог Израилев, а не Бог юдолий, сего ради укрепися паче нас: аще же сразимся с ними на равнине, истинно укрепимся паче их:
24 So you must do this: Remove all the kings from their positions of authority and replace them with military commanders.
по глаголу же сему сотвори: распусти цари коегождо на место свое, и постави вместо их воеводы,
25 Raise up an army like the army you lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight them in the plain. Then surely we will be stronger than they are.” So Ben Hadad listened to their advice and did what they advised.
и пременим тебе силу вместо силы падшия у тебе, и кони вместо коней, и колесницы вместо колесниц, и сразимся с ними на равнине, и укрепимся паче их. И послуша гласа их и сотвори тако.
26 After the beginning of the new year, Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
И бысть минувшу лету тому, и сочте сын Адеров Сирию, и взыде во Афеку на брань на Израиля.
27 The people of Israel were mustered and supplied to fight against them. The people of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the countryside.
И сынове Израилевы сочислишася и изыдоша во сретение им. И ополчишася Израилтяне противу им, аки два стада коз: Сириане же наполниша землю.
28 Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, “Yahweh says: 'Because the Arameans have said that Yahweh is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will place this great army into your hand, and you will know that I am Yahweh.'”
И прииде человек Божий и рече к царю Израилеву: сице глаголет Господь: понеже рече Сириа: Бог гор Господь Бог Израилев, и не Бог юдолий той, и дам силу великую сию в руку твою, и уразумееши, яко Аз Господь.
29 So the armies camped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle started. The people of Israel killed 100,000 Aramean footmen in one day.
И ополчишася тии противу им седмь дний. И бысть в день седмый, и приближися брань, и порази Израиль Сириан, сто и двадесять тысящ пешцев во един день.
30 The rest fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner room.
И бежаша оставшиися во Афеку град, и паде стена на двадесять седмь тысящ мужей оставшихся: сын же Адеров бежа и вниде в дом ложа, в чертог.
31 Ben Hadad's servants said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
И реша к нему отроцы его: се, ныне вемы, яко царие дому Израилева милостиви суть: да возложим ныне вретища на чресла наша и ужа на выи нашя, и изыдем ко царю Израилеву, да негли оживит душы нашя.
32 So they put sackcloth on their waists and ropes around their heads and then went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad said, 'Please let me live.'” Ahab said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
И препоясашася во вретища по чреслом своим, и возложиша ужя на выи своя, и приидоша к царю Израилеву и реша: раб твой сын Адеров глаголет: да живет душа моя. И рече: аще есть еще жив, брат ми есть.
33 Now the men were listening for any sign from Ahab, so they quickly answered him, “Yes, your brother Ben Hadad is alive.” Then Ahab said, “Go and bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came to him, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
И мужие за знак и в залог прияша слово от уст его, и реша: брат твой сын Адеров. И рече: идите и приведите его. И изыде к нему сын Адеров. И возведоша его к нему на колесницу.
34 Ben Hadad said to Ahab, “I will restore to you the cities that my father took from your father, and you may make markets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” Ahab replied, “I will let you go with this covenant.” So Ahab made a covenant with him and then let him go.
И рече к нему: грады, яже взя отец мой от отца твоего, отдам тебе: и на исход сотвориши я себе в Дамасце, якоже положи отец мой в Самарии, и аз в завете пущу тя. И положи ему завет и отпусти его.
35 A certain man, one of the sons of the prophets, said to one of his fellow prophets by the word of Yahweh, “Please hit me.” But the man refused to hit him.
И человек един от сынов пророчих рече ко ближнему своему по словеси Господню: бий мя ныне. И не восхоте человек бити его.
36 Then the prophet said to his fellow prophet, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yahweh, as soon as you leave me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as that man had left him, a lion came upon him and killed him.
И рече к нему: понеже не послушал еси гласа Господня, се, ты отидеши от мене, и поразит тя лев. И отиде от него, и обрете его лев и порази его.
37 Then the prophet found another man and said, “Please hit me.” So the man hit him and wounded him.
И обрете человека инаго и рече: бий мя ныне. И би его человек, и поразив сокруши его.
38 Then the prophet left and waited for the king by the road; he had disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
И иде пророк и предста царю Израилеву на пути и покры покрывалом очи свои.
39 As the king passed by, the prophet cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the heat of the battle, and a soldier stopped and brought a man to me and said, 'Watch this man. If by any means he goes missing, your life will be given for his life, or you must pay a talent of silver.'
И бысть егда мимоидяше царь, и сей возопи ко царю и рече: раб твой изыде на войну брани, и се, муж приведе ко мне мужа и рече ко мне: сохрани мужа сего: аще же отрешився отскочит, и будет душа твоя вместо души его, или талант отдаси сребра:
40 But because your servant was busy going here and there, the man escaped.” Then the king of Israel said to him, “This is what your punishment will be—you yourself have decided it.”
и бысть яко озреся раб твой семо и овамо, и сего не бысть. И рече к нему царь Израилев: се, суд твой при мне, сам себе убил еси.
41 Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
И ускори и отя покрывало от очес своих. И позна его царь Израилев, яко от пророк сей есть.
42 The prophet said to the king, “Yahweh says, 'Because you have let go from your hand the man whom I had sentenced to death, your life will take the place of his life, and your people for his people.'”
И рече к нему: тако глаголет Господь: понеже испустил еси ты мужа пагубнаго из руки твоея, и будет душа твоя вместо души его, и людие твои вместо людий его.
43 So the king of Israel went to his house resentful and angry, and arrived in Samaria.
И отиде царь Израилев к дому своему смущен и разслаблен, и прииде в Самарию.
