1 Kings 20
1 And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred 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 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus saith Benhadad,
и посла ко Ахааву царю Израилеву во град и рече к нему: сице глаголет сын Адеров:
3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the most comely, are mine.
сребро твое и злато твое мое есть, и жены твоя и чада твоя добрая моя суть.
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: якоже глаголал еси, господи мой царю, твой есмь аз и вся моя.
5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver to me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy 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 Yet I will send my servants to thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in thy eyes, they shall take it in their hand, and carry it away.
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, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
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 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not to him, nor consent.
И реша ему старейшины и вси людие: не послушай, ни восхощи (дати).
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
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 And Benhadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
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 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his armour boast himself as he that putteth it off.
И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: доволно: да не хвалится слячен, якоже прямый.
12 And it came to pass, when Benhadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against 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 And, behold, there came a prophet to Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
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 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
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 he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty and two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
И сочте Ахаав отроки князей градских, и бысть их двести тридесять и два: и по сих сочте люди вся сыны силы, седмь тысящ.
16 And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped 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 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
И изыдоша отроцы воевод градских в первых. И посла сын Адеров, и возвестиша царю сирскому, глаголюще: мужие изыдоша из Самарии.
18 And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for 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 these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
И тии изыдоша из града отроцы воевод градских, и сила вслед их.
20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the 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 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
И изыде царь Израилев, и взя вся кони и колесницы, и порази язвою великою в Сирии.
22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
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 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
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 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their places:
по глаголу же сему сотвори: распусти цари коегождо на место свое, и постави вместо их воеводы,
25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
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 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, 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 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
И сынове Израилевы сочислишася и изыдоша во сретение им. И ополчишася Израилтяне противу им, аки два стада коз: Сириане же наполниша землю.
28 And there came a man of God, and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
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 And they encamped opposite one another seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand 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 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
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 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save thy 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 girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet 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 diligently observed whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the 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 And Benhadad said to him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
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 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite 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 said he to him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou hast departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him, and slew 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 he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
И обрете человека инаго и рече: бий мя ныне. И би его человек, и поразив сокруши его.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
И иде пророк и предста царю Израилеву на пути и покры покрывалом очи свои.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he shall be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt 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 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast 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 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel knew that he was of the prophets.
И ускори и отя покрывало от очес своих. И позна его царь Израилев, яко от пророк сей есть.
42 And he said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy 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 And the king of Israel went to his house sad and displeased, and came to Samaria.
И отиде царь Израилев к дому своему смущен и разслаблен, и прииде в Самарию.
