2 Kings 6
1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we live with you is too small for us all.
И реша сынове пророчи ко Елиссею: се, убо место, идеже мы живем противу тебе, тесно нам:
2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and let every man cut down a tree there, and let us build us a place there where we may live.” Elisha answered, “You may go ahead.”
да идем ныне до Иордана, и да возмем оттуду кийждо муж по бервну единому и сотворим себе ту обиталища пребывати тамо. И рече: идите.
3 One of them said, “Please go with your servants.” Elisha answered, “I will go.”
И рече един кротце: гряди и сам с рабы твоими. И рече: аз пойду.
4 So he went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down trees.
И иде с ними: и приидоша ко Иордану, и секоша древа:
5 But as one was chopping, the ax head fell into the water; he cried out and said, “Oh no, my master, it was borrowed!”
и егда един отсекаше бервно, и се, железо спаде с топорища и впаде в воду. И возопи: о, господине, и сие заемное.
6 So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” The man showed Elisha the place. He then cut off a stick, threw it in the water, and made the iron float.
И рече человек Божий: где паде? И показа ему место. И отсече древо и вверже и тамо: и всплыве железо.
7 Elisha said, “Pick it up.” So the man reached out his hand and grabbed it.
И рече: возми себе. И простре руку свою и взят е.
8 Now the king of Aram was waging war against Israel. He consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
И царь Сирский бе воюя на Израиля, и совеща со отроки своими, глаголя: на месте некоем сокровеннем ополчуся.
9 So the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Be careful not to pass that place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
И посла Елиссей ко царю Израилеву, глаголя: блюдися не преити на место сие, яко ту Сиряне залягоша.
10 The king of Israel sent a message to the place about which the man of God had spoken and warned him. More than once or twice, when the king went there, he was on his guard.
И посла царь Израилев на место, о немже рече ему Елиссей, и соблюдеся оттуду не единою, ниже дважды.
11 The king of Aram was enraged about these warnings, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not tell me who among us is for the king of Israel?”
И смутися душа царя Сирска о словеси сем: и призва отроки своя и рече и ним: не возвестите ли мне, кто предает мя царю Израилеву?
12 So one of his servants said, “No, my master, king, for Elisha the prophet in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your own bedroom!”
И рече един от отрок его: ни, господине мой царю: яко пророк Елиссей, иже во Израили, возвещает царю Израилеву вся словеса, яже аще глаголеши в сокровищи ложницы твоея.
13 The king replied, “Go and see where Elisha is so I may send men and capture him.” It was told him, “See, he is in Dothan.”
И рече: идите, видите, где сей, и послав возму его. И возвестиша ему, глаголюще: се, есть в Дофаиме.
14 So the king sent to Dothan horses, chariots, and a large army. They came by night and surrounded the city.
И посла тамо кони и колесницы и силу тяжку: и приидоша нощию и окружиша град.
15 When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone outside, behold, a large army with horses and chariots surrounded the city. His servant said to him, “Oh, my master! What will we do?”
И урани раб Елиссеев востати, и изыде: и се, сила обступи град, и кони и колесницы. И рече отрок его к нему: о, господине, что сотворим?
16 Elisha answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
И рече Елиссей: не бойся, яко множае иже с нами, нежели с ними.
17 Elisha prayed and said, “Yahweh, I beg that you will open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yahweh opened the servant's eyes, and he saw. Behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha!
И помолися Елиссей и рече: Господи, отверзи ныне очи отрока, да узрит. И отверзе Господь очи его, и виде: и се, гора исполнь коней, и колесница огненна окрест Елиссеа.
18 When the Arameans came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, “Strike these people blind, I ask you.” So Yahweh made them blind, just as Elisha had asked.
И снидоша к нему: и помолися Елиссей ко Господу и рече: порази убо язык сей невидением. И порази их невидением по глаголу Елиссееву.
19 Then Elisha told the Arameans, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you are looking for.” Then he led them to Samaria.
И рече к ним Елиссей: не сей путь и не сей град: грядите по мне, и отведу вы к мужу, егоже ищете. И отведе их в Самарию.
20 It came about that when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Yahweh opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the middle of the city of Samaria.
И бысть егда внидоша в Самарию, и рече Елиссей: отверзи убо, Господи, очи их, и да видят. И отверзе Господь очи их, и видеша: и се, бяху посреде Самарии.
21 The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, should I kill them? Should I kill them?”
И рече царь Израилев ко Елиссею, егда увиде я: аще поражу я поражением, отче?
22 Elisha answered, “You must not kill them. Would you kill those whom you had taken captive with your sword and bow? Put bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”
И рече Елиссеи: да не поразиши: еда ли пленил еси их мечем твоим и луком твоим, да избиеши? И предложи им хлебы и воду, да ядят и да пиют и да отидут ко господину своему.
23 So the king prepared much food for them, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went back to their master. Those bands of Aramean soldiers did not return for a long time into the land of Israel.
И предложи им предложение велие, и ядоша и пиша, и отпусти я, и идоша ко господину своему: и не приложиша ктому воини приходити из Сирии в землю Израилеву.
24 Later after this Ben Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and attacked Samaria and besieged it.
И бысть по сих, и собра сын Адеров царь Сирийский все ополчение свое, и взыде и обседе Самарию.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
И бысть глад велик в Самарии: и се, обседоша ю, дондеже бысть глава ослова за пятьдесят сикль сребра, и четвертая часть меры гноя голубинаго за пять сикль сребра.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my master, king.”
И бысть царь Израилев обходяй по стенам: и жена (некая) возопи к нему, глаголющи: спаси мя, господине мой царю.
27 He said, “If Yahweh does not help you, how can I help you? Is there anything coming from the threshing floor or winepress?”
И рече ей: аще тебе не спасает Господь, како аз спасу тя? Еда от гумна или от точила?
28 The king continued, “What is troubling you?” She answered, “This woman said to me, 'Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'”
И рече ей царь: что ти есть? И рече: сия жена ко мне рече: даждь сына твоего, да съядим его днесь, а утро моего сына съядим:
29 So we boiled my son and ate him, and I said to her on the next day, “Give your son that we may eat him, but she has hidden her son.”
и испекохом сына моего и снедохом его: и рех к ней в день вторый: даждь сына твоего, и съядим его: и скры сына своего.
30 So when the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall), and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth underneath, against his skin.
И бысть егда услыша царь Израилев словеса жены, раздра ризы своя и сам хождаше по стене, и видеша людие вретище на плоти его внутрь.
31 Then he said, “May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on him today.”
И рече царь: сия да сотворит ми Бог и сия да приложит ми, аще будет глава Елиссеева на нем днесь.
32 But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a man from before him, but when the messenger came to Elisha, he said to the elders, “See how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?”
Елиссей же седяше в дому своем, и старцы седяху с ним. И посла царь мужа пред лицем своим. И прежде даже приити посланному к нему, и той рече ко старцем: не весте ли, яко посла сын убийцы сей, да отсечет главу мою? Видите, егда приидет вестник, заключите двери и стисните его во дверех: не топот ли ног господина его вслед его?
33 While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. The king had said, “Behold, this trouble comes from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”
И еще ему глаголющу с ними, и се, вестник сниде к нему и рече: се, сие зло от Господа: что потерплю Господеви ксему?
