2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too small for us.
И реша сынове пророчи ко Елиссею: се, убо место, идеже мы живем противу тебе, тесно нам:
2 Let us go, we pray thee, to Jordan, and take from there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
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 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he 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 Jordan, they cut down wood.
И иде с ними: и приидоша ко Иордану, и секоша древа:
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for 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 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in there; and made the axe head float.
И рече человек Божий: где паде? И показа ему место. И отсече древо и вверже и тамо: и всплыве железо.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
И рече: возми себе. И простре руку свою и взят е.
8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
И царь Сирский бе воюя на Израиля, и совеща со отроки своими, глаголя: на месте некоем сокровеннем ополчуся.
9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for there the Syrians have come down.
И посла Елиссей ко царю Израилеву, глаголя: блюдися не преити на место сие, яко ту Сиряне залягоша.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
И посла царь Израилев на место, о немже рече ему Елиссей, и соблюдеся оттуду не единою, ниже дважды.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of 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 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
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 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and bring him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
И рече: идите, видите, где сей, и послав возму его. И возвестиша ему, глаголюще: се, есть в Дофаиме.
14 Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
И посла тамо кони и колесницы и силу тяжку: и приидоша нощию и окружиша град.
15 And when the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host surrounded the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall 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 And he answered, Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.
И рече Елиссей: не бойся, яко множае иже с нами, нежели с ними.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, 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 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
И снидоша к нему: и помолися Елиссей ко Господу и рече: порази убо язык сей невидением. И порази их невидением по глаголу Елиссееву.
19 And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But 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 And it came to pass, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst 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 And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
И рече царь Израилев ко Елиссею, егда увиде я: аще поражу я поражением, отче?
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set 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 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more 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 And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
И бысть по сих, и собра сын Адеров царь Сирийский все ополчение свое, и взыде и обседе Самарию.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab 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 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
И бысть царь Израилев обходяй по стенам: и жена (некая) возопи к нему, глаголющи: спаси мя, господине мой царю.
27 And he said, If the LORD doth not help thee, how shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
И рече ей: аще тебе не спасает Господь, како аз спасу тя? Еда от гумна или от точила?
28 And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
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 thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid 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 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his flesh.
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, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
И рече царь: сия да сотворит ми Бог и сия да приложит ми, аще будет глава Елиссеева на нем днесь.
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: 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 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD 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?
