4-я Царств 17
1 В двенадцатый год Ахаза, царя Иудейского, воцарился Осия, сын Илы, в Самарии над Израилем и царствовал девять лет.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz, the king of Judah: Hoshea, the son of Elah, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for nine years.
2 И делал он неугодное в очах Господних, но не так, как цари Израильские, которые были прежде него.
And he did evil before the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who had been before him.
3 Против него выступил Салманассар, царь Ассирийский, и сделался Осия подвластным ему и давал ему дань.
Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended against him. And Hoshea became a servant to him, and he paid him tribute.
4 И заметил царь Ассирийский в Осии измену, так как он посылал послов к Сигору, царю Египетскому, и не доставлял дани царю Ассирийскому каждый год; и взял его царь Ассирийский под стражу, и заключил его в дом темничный.
And when the king of the Assyrians discovered that Hoshea, striving to rebel, had sent messengers to Sais, to the king of Egypt, so as not to present the tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had been accustomed to do each year, he besieged him. And having been bound, he cast him into prison.
5 И пошел царь Ассирийский на всю землю, и приступил к Самарии, и держал ее в осаде три года.
And he wandered through the entire land. And ascending to Samaria, he besieged it for three years.
6 В девятый год Осии взял царь Ассирийский Самарию, и переселил Израильтян в Ассирию, и поселил их в Халахе и в Хаворе, при реке Гозан, и в городах Мидийских.
And in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of the Assyrians captured Samaria, and he carried away Israel to Assyria. And he stationed them in Halah and in Habor, beside the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
7 Когда стали грешить сыны Израилевы пред Господом Богом своим, Который вывел их из земли Египетской, из-под руки фараона, царя Египетского, и стали чтить богов иных,
For it happened that, when the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who had led them away from the land of Egypt, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, they worshipped strange gods.
8 и стали поступать по обычаям народов, которых прогнал Господь от лица сынов Израилевых, и по обычаям царей Израильских, как поступали они;
And they walked according to the rituals of the nations that the Lord had consumed in the sight of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel. For they had acted similarly.
9 и стали делать сыны Израилевы дела неугодные Господу Богу своему, и построили себе высоты во всех городах своих, начиная от сторожевой башни до укрепленного города,
And the sons of Israel offended the Lord, their God, with deeds that were not upright. And they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
10 и поставили у себя статуи и изображения Астарт на всяком высоком холме и под всяким тенистым деревом,
And they made for themselves statues and sacred groves, on every high hill and under every leafy tree.
11 и стали там совершать курения на всех высотах, подобно народам, которых изгнал от них Господь, и делали худые дела, прогневляющие Господа,
And they were burning incense there, upon altars, in the manner of the nations that the Lord had removed from their face. And they did wicked deeds, provoking the Lord.
12 и служили идолам, о которых говорил им Господь: “не делайте сего”;
And they worshipped impurities, concerning which the Lord instructed them that they should not do this word.
13 тогда Господь чрез всех пророков Своих, чрез всякого прозорливца предостерегал Израиля и Иуду, говоря: возвратитесь со злых путей ваших и соблюдайте заповеди Мои, уставы Мои, по всему учению, которое Я заповедал отцам вашим и которое Я преподал вам чрез рабов Моих, пророков.
And the Lord testified to them, in Israel and in Judah, through the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: “Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts and ceremonies, in accord with the entire law, which I instructed to your fathers, and just as I sent to you by the hand of my servants, the prophets.”
14 Но они не слушали и ожесточили выю свою, как была выя отцов их, которые не веровали в Господа, Бога своего;
But they did not listen. Instead, they hardened their necks to be like the neck of their fathers, who were not willing to obey the Lord, their God.
15 и презирали уставы Его, и завет Его, который Он заключил с отцами их, и откровения Его, какими Он предостерегал их, и пошли вслед суеты и осуетились, и вслед народов окрестных, о которых Господь заповедал им, чтобы не поступали так, как они,
And they cast aside his ordinances, and the covenant that he formed with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified to them. And they pursued vanities and acted vainly. And they followed the nations that were all around them, concerning the things which the Lord had commanded them not to do, and which they did.
16 и оставили все заповеди Господа Бога своего, и сделали себе литые изображения двух тельцов, и устроили дубраву, и поклонялись всему воинству небесному, и служили Ваалу,
And they abandoned all the precepts of the Lord, their God. And they made for themselves two molten calves and sacred groves. And they adored the entire celestial army. And they served Baal.
17 и проводили сыновей своих и дочерей своих чрез огонь, и гадали, и волшебствовали, и предались тому, чтобы делать неугодное в очах Господа и прогневлять Его.
And they consecrated their sons and their daughters through fire. And they devoted themselves to divinations and soothsaying. And they delivered themselves into the doing of evil before the Lord, so that they provoked him.
18 И прогневался Господь сильно на Израильтян, и отверг их от лица Своего. Не осталось никого, кроме одного колена Иудина.
And the Lord became vehemently angry with Israel, and he took them away from his sight. And there remained no one, except the tribe of Judah alone.
19 И Иуда также не соблюдал заповедей Господа Бога своего, и поступал по обычаям Израильтян, как поступали они.
But even Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord, their God. Instead, they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
20 И отвратился Господь от всех потомков Израиля, и смирил их, и отдавал их в руки грабителям, и наконец отверг их от лица Своего.
And the Lord cast aside all of the offspring of Israel. And he afflicted them, and he delivered them into the hand of despoilers, until he drove them away from his face,
21 Израильтяне отторглись от дома Давидова и воцарили Иеровоама, сына Наватова; и отклонил Иеровоам Израильтян от Господа, и вовлек их в великий грех.
even from that time when Israel was torn away from the house of David, and they appointed for themselves Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, as king. For Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and he caused them to sin a great sin.
22 И поступали сыны Израилевы по всем грехам Иеровоама, какие он делал, не отставали от них,
And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done. And they did not withdraw from these,
23 доколе Господь не отверг Израиля от лица Своего, как говорил чрез всех рабов Своих, пророков. И переселен Израиль из земли своей в Ассирию, где он и до сего дня.
even when the Lord carried away Israel from his face, just as he had said by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And Israel was carried away from their land into Assyria, even to this day.
24 И перевел царь Ассирийский людей из Вавилона, и из Куты, и из Аввы, и из Емафа, и из Сепарваима, и поселил их в городах Самарийских вместо сынов Израилевых. И они овладели Самариею, и стали жить в городах ее.
Then the king of the Assyrians brought some from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim. And he located them in the cities of Samaria, in place of the sons of Israel. And they possessed Samaria, and they lived in its cities.
25 И как в начале жительства своего там они не чтили Господа, то Господь посылал на них львов, которые умерщвляли их.
And when they had begun to live there, they did not fear the Lord. And the Lord sent lions among them, which were killing them.
26 И донесли царю Ассирийскому, и сказали: народы, которых ты переселил и поселил в городах Самарийских, не знают закона Бога той земли, и за то Он посылает на них львов, и вот они умерщвляют их, потому что они не знают закона Бога той земли.
And this was reported to the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: “The peoples that you transferred and caused to live in the cities of Samaria, they are ignorant of the ordinances of the God of the land. And so the Lord has sent lions among them. And behold, they have killed them, because they were ignorant of the rituals of the God of the land.”
27 И повелел царь Ассирийский, и сказал: отправьте туда одного из священников, которых вы выселили оттуда; пусть пойдет и живет там, и он научит их закону Бога той земли.
Then the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: “Lead to that place one of the priests, whom you brought as a captive from there. And let him go and live with them. And let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.”
28 И пришел один из священников, которых выселили из Самарии, и жил в Вефиле, и учил их, как чтить Господа.
And so, when one of the priests, who had been led away captive from Samaria, had arrived, he lived in Bethel. And he taught them how they should worship the Lord.
29 Притом сделал каждый народ и своих богов и поставил в капищах высот, какие устроили Самаряне, - каждый народ в своих городах, где живут они.
And each of the nations made gods of their own, and they placed them in the shrines of the high places, which the Samaritans had made: nation after nation, in their cities in which they were living.
30 Вавилоняне сделали Суккот-Беноф, Кутийцы сделали Нергала, Емафяне сделали Ашиму,
So the men of Babylon made Soccoth-benoth; and the men of Cuth made Nergal; and the men of Hamath made Ashima;
31 Аввийцы сделали Нивхаза и Тартака, а Сепарваимцы сожигали сыновей своих в огне Адрамелеху и Анамелеху, богам Сепарваимским.
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. Then those who were from Sepharvaim burned up their children with fire, for the gods of Sepharvaim: Adram-melech and Anam-melech.
32 Между тем чтили и Господа, и сделали у себя священников высот из среды своей, и они служили у них в капищах высот.
But nevertheless, they worshipped the Lord. Then they made for themselves, from the least of the people, priests of the high places. And they placed them in the shrines of the high places.
33 Господа они чтили, и богам своим они служили по обычаю народов, из которых выселили их.
And though they worshipped the Lord, they also served their own gods, according to the custom of the nations from which they had been transferred into Samaria.
34 До сего дня поступают они по прежним своим обычаям: не боятся Господа и не поступают по уставам и по обрядам, и по закону и по заповедям, которые заповедал Господь сынам Иакова, которому дал Он имя Израиля.
Even to the present day, they follow the ancient customs; they do not fear the Lord, and they do not keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which the Lord had instructed to the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel.
35 Заключил Господь с ними завет и заповедал им, говоря: не чтите богов иных, и не поклоняйтесь им, и не служите им, и не приносите жертв им,
And he had struck a covenant with them, and he had commanded them, saying: “You shall not fear foreign gods, and you shall not adore them, and you shall not worship them, and you shall not sacrifice to them.
36 но Господа, Который вывел вас из земли Египетской силою великою и мышцею простертою, - Его чтите и Ему поклоняйтесь, и Ему приносите жертвы,
But the Lord, your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with an outstretched arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
37 и уставы, и учреждения, и закон, и заповеди, которые Он написал вам, старайтесь исполнять во все дни, и не чтите богов иных;
Also, the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall keep so that you do them for all days. And you shall not fear strange gods.
38 и завета, который Я заключил с вами, не забывайте, и не чтите богов иных,
And the covenant, which he struck with you, you shall not forget; neither shall you worship strange gods.
39 только Господа Бога вашего чтите, и Он избавит вас от руки всех врагов ваших.
But you shall fear the Lord, your God. And he will rescue you from the hand of all your enemies.”
40 Но они не послушали, а поступали по прежним своим обычаям.
Yet truly, they did not listen to this. Instead, they acted in accord with their earlier custom.
41 Народы сии чтили Господа, но и истуканам своим служили. Да и дети их и дети детей их до сего дня поступают так же, как поступали отцы их.
And such were these nations: to some extent fearing the Lord, yet nevertheless also serving their idols. As for their sons and grandsons, just as their fathers acted, so also did they act, even to the present day.
