1 Samuel 6
1 Now the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines for seven months.
И бе кивот Господень на селе иноплеменников седмь месяц: и воскипе земля их мышами.
2 Then the Philistine people called for the priests and the diviners; they said to them, “What should we do with the ark of Yahweh? Tell us how we should send it back to its own country.”
И призваша иноплеменницы жерцев и волхвов и обаянников своих, глаголюще: что сотворим кивоту Господню? Скажите нам, како послем его на место его?
3 The priests and diviners said, “If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without a gift; by all means send him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted off of you until now.”
И реша: аще отпущаете вы кивот завета Господа Бога Израилева, да не послете его тща, но отдающе отдадите Ему за муки (дары), и тогда исцелитеся, и умилостивится вам: еда ли не отступит рука Его от вас?
4 Then they said, “What should the guilt offering be that we are returning to him?” They replied, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, five being the number that is the same as the number of the rulers of the Philistines. For the same plague afflicted you and your rulers.
И глаголаша: что Ему за муки отдадим? И реша: по числу воевод и иноплеменничих пять седалищ златых и пять мышей златых, яко прегрешения в вас и в князех ваших и в людех:
5 So you must make models of your tumors, and models of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
и сотворите подобие седалищ ваших и подобие мышей ваших, растлевающих землю, и воздадите славу Богу (Израилеву), яко да облегчит руку Свою от вас и от богов ваших и от земли вашея:
6 Why should you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? That was when the God of Israel dealt severely with them; did not the Egyptians send away the people, and they left?
и почто отягощаете сердца ваша, якоже отягчи Египет и фараон сердце свое? Не егда ли поругася им, отпусти их, и отидоша?
7 Now then, prepare a new cart with two nursing cows that have never been yoked. Tie the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them.
И ныне возмите и сотворите колесницу нову едину и две кравы первородившыя без телят, на нихже не бяше ярмо: и впрязите кравы в колесницу, а телята их возвратите вспять в дом:
8 Then take the ark of Yahweh and place it in the cart. Put the golden figures that you are returning to him as a guilt offering into a box to one side of it. Then send it off and let it go its own way.
и возмите кивот Господень, и возложите и на колесницу, и сосуды златыя отдадите Ему за муки, и положите в ковчежце от страны его: и отпустите его, да идет:
9 Then watch; if it goes up on the way to its own land to Beth Shemesh, then it is Yahweh who has executed this great disaster. But if not, then we will know that it is not his hand that afflicted us; instead, we will know that it happened to us by chance.”
и узрите, аще путем пределов своих пойдет в Вефсамис, той сотвори нам зло великое сие: аще же ни, то уразумеем, яко не рука его прикоснуся нас, но приключение сие бысть нам.
10 The men did as they were told; they took two nursing cows, tied them to the cart, and confined their calves at home.
И сотвориша иноплеменницы тако, и взяша две кравы первородившыя, и впрягоша я в колесницу, телята же их затвориша в доме:
11 They put the ark of Yahweh on the cart, together with a box containing the golden mice and the castings of their tumors.
и возложиша кивот Господень на колесницу, и ковчежец, и мышы златыя, и подобия седалищ своих:
12 The cows went straight in the direction of Beth Shemesh. They went along one highway, lowing as they went, and they did not turn aside either to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
и управишася кравы на пути в путь Вефсамский, на пути имже идяху, и труждахуся, и не совращахуся на десно, ниже на шуе: и воеводы иноплеменничи идяху вслед его даже до предел Вефсамских.
13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley. When they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced.
И иже в Вефсамисе жняху жатву пшеницы во юдоли: и возведоша очи свои, и видеша кивот Господень, и возвеселишася во сретение ему.
14 The cart came into the field of Joshua from the town of Beth Shemesh and stopped there. A great stone was there, and they split the wood from the cart, and offered the cows as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
И колесница вниде в село Осиево сущее в Вефсамисе, (и ста тамо, ) и поставиша тамо при нем камень велий: и иссекоша древеса колесничная, и кравы вознесоша на всесожжение Господу.
15 The Levites took down the ark of Yahweh and the box that was with it, where the golden figures were, and put them on the great stone. The men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to Yahweh.
Левити же вознесоша кивот Господень, и ковчежец иже с ним, и яже в нем сосуды златы, и положиша на камени велицем: мужие же Вефсамстии вознесоша всесожжения и пожроша жертву в той день Господу.
16 When the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they returned that day to Ekron.
И пять воевод иноплеменничи зряху, и возвратишася во Аккарон в день той.
17 These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a guilt offering to Yahweh—one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, and one for Ekron.
И сия седалища златая, яже воздаша иноплеменницы за муку Господу: Азотско едино, Газско едино, Аскалонско едино, Гефско едино, Аккаронско едино.
18 The golden mice were the same in number as the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, both fortified cities and country villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of Yahweh, remains a witness to this day in the field of Joshua the Bethshemite.
И златыя мышы по числу всех градов иноплеменничих пяти воевод, от града утвержена и даже до веси ферезеовы и до камене великаго, на немже положиша кивот завета Господня, иже есть даже до сего дне, на селе Осии Вефсамиситянина.
19 Yahweh attacked some of the men of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of Yahweh. He killed 50,070 men. The people mourned, because Yahweh had given the people a great blow.
И не порадовашася сынове Иехониины в мужех Вефсамских, яко видеша кивот Господень: и уби в них пятьдесят тысящ и седмьдесят мужей. И плакашася людие, яко порази Господь людий язвою великою зело.
20 The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? To whom will the ark go up from us?”
И реша мужие иже от Вефсамиса: кто возможет поити пред Господем Богом святым сим? И к кому взыдет кивот завета Господня от нас?
21 They sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of Yahweh; come down and take it back with you.”
И послаша послы к живущым в Кариафиариме, глаголюще: возвратиша иноплеменницы кивот Господень, снидите и вознесите его к себе.
