2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz, king of Judah began to reign.
И бысть в лето третие Осии сына Илы царя Израилева, воцарися Езекиа сын Ахаза царя Иудина:
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah; she was the daughter of Zechariah.
сын двадесяти пяти лет бе егда нача царствовати, и двадесять девять леть царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Авуфа дщи Захариина.
3 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of all that David, his ancestor, had done.
И сотвори правое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвори отец его Давид:
4 He removed the high places, destroyed the stone pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke to pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the people of Israel were burning incense to it; it was called “Nehushtan.”
той разруши высокая, и сокруши вся капища, и искорени дубравы и змию медяную, юже сотвори Моисей, яко и до дний тех сынове Израилевы беху кадяще ей: и назва имя ей Неестан.
5 Hezekiah trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that after him there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among the kings who were before him.
На Господа Бога Израилева упова, и но нем не бысть подобен ему в царех Иудиных и в бывших прежде его:
6 For he held on to Yahweh. He did not stop following him but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.
и прилепися Господеви, не отступи от Него, и сохрани заповеди Его, елики заповеда Моисей:
7 So Yahweh was with Hezekiah, and wherever he went he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
и бе Господь с ним, и во всех, яже творяше, смысляше. И сопротивися царю Ассирийскому и не поработа ему:
8 He attacked the Philistines to Gaza and the borders around, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
той победи иноплеменники даже до Газы и до предел ея, от столпа стрегущих и даже и града тверда.
9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
И бысть в лето четвертое царя Езекии, сие же лето седмое Осии, сыну Илы, царю Израилеву, взыде Саламанассар царь Ассирийск на Самарию и обседе ю,
10 At the end of three years they took it, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel; in this way Samaria was captured.
и взя ю при концы триех лет, в шестое лето Езекиево, сие лето девятое Осии царя Израилева, и пленена бысть Самариа.
11 So the king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria and put them in Halah, and at the Habor River in Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
И преведе царь Ассирийский Самаряны во Ассирию, и посади я на Алаи и на Аворе, реках Гозанских, и в пределех Мидских:
12 He did this because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh their God, but they violated the terms of his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded. They refused to listen to it or do it.
понеже не послушаша гласа Господа Бога своего и преступиша завет Его, вся елика заповеда Моисей раб Господень, и не послушаша, и не сотвориша.
13 Then in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
И в четвертоенадесять лето царя Езекии, взыде Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский на грады Иудины твердыя и взят я.
14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria, who was at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. Whatever you put on me I will bear.” The king of Assyria required Hezekiah king of Judah to pay three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
И посла Езекиа царь Иудин послы к царю Ассирийску в Лахис, глаголя: согреших, возвратися от мене: еже аще возложиши на мя, то понесу. И возложи царь Ассирийский на Езекию царя Иудина триста талант сребра и тридесять талантов злата.
15 So Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh and in the treasuries of the king's palace.
И даде Езекиа все сребро обретшееся в дому Господни и в сокровищих дому царева.
16 Then Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of Yahweh and from the pillars that he had overlaid; he gave the gold to the king of Assyria.
Во время оно ссече Езекиа царь Иудин двери храма Господня и утвержения, яже позлати Езекиа царь Иудин, и даде их царю Ассирийску.
17 But the king of Assyria mobilized his great army, sending Tartan and Rabsaris and the chief commander from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. They traveled up the roads and arrived outside Jerusalem. They approached the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the launderers' field, and stood by it.
И посла царь Ассирийск Фарфана и Равосаиа и Рапсака от Лахиса на Иерусалим к царю Езекии с силою тяжкою зело. И взыдоша, и приидоша ко Иерусалиму, и сташа у водотечи купели вышния, яже есть на пути села белилнаго,
18 When they had called to King Hezekiah, Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, went out to meet them.
и возопиша ко Езекии. И изыде к ним Елиаким сын Хелкиев строитель, и Сомнас книгочий, и Иоас сын Сафатов воспоминатель.
19 So the chief commander said to them to tell Hezekiah what the great king, the king of Assyria, said: “What is the source of your confidence?
И рече к ним Рапсак: рцыте ныне ко Езекии: сице глаголет царь великий, царь Ассирийский: что упование сие, на неже уповаеши?
20 You speak only useless words, saying there are allies and strength for war. In whom are you trusting, that you should rebel against me?
Рекл еси: токмо словеса устен, совет и сила на брань: ныне убо на кого надежду отвергл еси мене?
21 Look, you trust in the walking stick of this bruised reed of Egypt, but if a man leans on it, it will stick into his hand and pierce it. That is what Pharaoh king of Egypt is to anyone who trusts in him.
Ныне с, надеешися ты на жезл тростяный сломленый сей, на Египет ли? Наньже аще опрется муж, внидет в руку его и пронзет ю: тако фараон царь Египетский всем надеющымся нань:
22 But if you say to me, 'We are trusting in Yahweh our God,' is not he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You must worship before this altar in Jerusalem'?
и аще мне речете: на Господа Бога надеемся: не той ли сей, егоже и отстави Езекиа высокая его и жертвенники его, и рече Иуде и Иерусалиму: поклонитеся пред жертвенником сим во Иерусалиме?
23 Now therefore, I want to make you a good offer from my master the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to find riders for them.
И ныне соединитеся с господином моим царем Ассирийским, и дам тебе две тысящы коней, аще можеши имети всадники на ня:
24 How could you resist even one captain of the least of my master's servants? You have put your trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen!
и како отвратиши лице топарха единаго от рабов господина моего малейших, и уповал еси сам на Египет, на колесницы и кони?
25 Have I traveled up here without Yahweh to fight against this place and destroy it? Yahweh said to me, 'Attack this land and destroy it.'”
И ныне убо еда без Господа взыдохом на место сие, еже потребити и рече бо Господь ко мне: взыди на землю сию и потреби ю.
26 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah said to the chief commander, “Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it. Do not speak with us in the language of Judah in the ears of the people who are on the wall.”
И рече Елиаким сын Хелкиин и Сомнас и Иоас ко Рапсаку: глаголи ныне ко отроком твоим сирски, яко слышим мы, а не глаголи к нам иудейски, и почто глаголеши во ушы людий, иже на стене?
27 But the chief commander said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? Has he not sent me to the men who sit on the wall, who will have to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
И рече к ним Рапсак: еда к господину твоему и к тебе посла мя господин мой глаголати словеса сия? Не к мужем ли седящым на стене, еже ясти им гной свой и пити им сечь свою с вами вкупе?
28 Then the chief commander stood and shouted in a loud voice in the Jews' language, saying, “Listen to the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
И ста Рапсак, и возопи гласом великим иудейски, и глагола, и рече: слышите словеса великаго царя Ассирийска:
29 The king says, 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to rescue you from my power.
сице глаголет царь: да не возносит вас царь Езекиа словесы, понеже не возможет вас изяти из руки моея:
30 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely rescue us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”'
и да не обнадеживает вас Езекиа Господем, глаголя: изимая измет вы Господь, и не имать предатися град сей в руце царя Ассирийска:
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: 'Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and from his own fig tree, and drink from the water in his own cistern.
не послушайте Езекии, яко сице глаголет царь Ассирийский: сотворите со мною благословение и изыдите ко мне, и да пиет муж от винограда своего, и муж вкусит от смоквей своих, и да пиет воду от рова своего,
32 You will do this until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey, so that you may live and not die.' Do not listen to Hezekiah when he tries to persuade you, saying, 'Yahweh will rescue us.'
дондеже прииду и поиму вы в землю (такову) якоже земля ваша, земля пшеницы и вина, и хлебов и виноградов, земля масличин елеа и меда, и живи будете и не умрете: и не послушайте Езекии, яко прельщает вы, глаголя: Господь ны избавит:
33 Has any of the gods of the peoples rescued them out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
еда избавляюще избавиша бози языков кийждо их свою страну из руки царя Ассирийска?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they rescued Samaria out of my hand?
Где есть бог Емафа и Арфада? Где есть бог Сепфаруима, Ана и Ава? Еда избавиша Самарию из руку моею?
35 Among all the gods of the lands, is there any god who has rescued his land from my power? How could Yahweh save Jerusalem from my might?”
Кто во всех бозех земных, иже избавиша земли и от руки моея? И како измет Господь Иерусалима из руки моея?
36 But the people remained silent and did not respond, for the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
И умолкоша людие и не отвещаша ему слова, яко заповеда им царь глаголя: не отвещайте ему.
37 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household; Shebna the scribe; and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and reported to him the words of the chief commander.
И вниде Елиаким сын Хелкиин строитель, и Сомнас книгочий, и Иоас сын Сафатов воспоминатель ко Езекии, раздравше ризы своя, и возвестиша ему словеса Рапсакова.
