Третья книга Царств 13
1 И се, человек Божий прииде от Иуды по словеси Господню в Вефиль, и Иеровоам стояше на олтари своем жрети хотя:
And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
2 и воззва ко олтарю словом Господним и рече: олтарю, олтарю, сице глаголет Господь: се, сын раждается дому Давидову, Иосиа имя ему, и пожрет на тебе жерцы, иже на высоких жрущыя на тебе, и кости человеческия сожжет на тебе.
And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
3 И даст в день той чудо, глаголя: сей глаголгол, егоже рече Господь, глаголя: се, олтарь разсядется, и излиется тук иже на нем.
And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
4 И бысть егда услыша царь Иеровоам словеса человека Божия воззвавшаго ко олтарю иже в Вефили, и простре царь руку свою от олтаря, глаголя: имите его. И се, усше рука его, юже простре нань, и не можаше возвратити ю к себе:
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
5 и олтарь разседеся, и излияся тук от олтаря, по чудеси, еже даде человек Божий словом Господним.
Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.
6 И рече царь Иеровоам человеку Божию: помолися ныне пред лицем Господа Бога твоего, дабы возвратилася рука моя ко мне. И помолися человек Божий пред лицем Господним, и возвратися рука царя к нему, и бысть якоже прежде.
And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.
7 И глагола царь к человеку Божию: вниди со мною в дом, и обедай, и дам ти дар.
Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
8 И рече человек Божий к цареви: аще даси ми пол дому твоего, не вниду с тобою, ниже ям хлеба, ниже пию воды на месте сем,
And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.
9 яко тако заповеда ми Господь словом, глаголя: ни яждь хлеба, ни пий воды, ниже возвратися путем, имже шел еси.
For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’”
10 И отиде путем иным, и не возвратися путем, имже прииде во Вефиль.
Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
11 И пророк един стар живяше в Вефили, и приидоша сынове его и поведаша ему вся дела, яже сотвори человек Божий в день той в Вефили, и словеса, яже глагола цареви, поведаша отцу своему.
Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.
12 И рече к ним отец их, глаголя: киим путем иде? И показаша ему сынове его путь, имже иде человек Божий изшедый от Иуды.
And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
13 И рече сыном своим: оседлайте ми осля. И оседлаша ему осля, и вседе на не,
And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
14 и иде вслед человека Божия, и обрете его под дубом седяща, и рече ему: ты ли еси человек Божий пришедый от Иуды? И рече ему: аз.
and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
15 И рече ему: гряди со мною, и яждь хлеб.
And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
16 И рече ему: не могу возвратитися с тобою, ниже ям хлеба, ни пию воды на месте сем,
But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
17 яко тако заповеда ми Господь словом, глаголя: не яждь хлеба тамо, ниже пий воды тамо, и да не возвратишися путем тем, имже шел еси.
For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
18 И рече к нему: и аз пророк есмь якоже ты, и Ангел глагола ко мне словом Господним, глаголя: возврати его к себе в дом твой, да снест хлеба и пиет воду. И солга ему,
And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived him.
19 и возврати его: и яде хлеб, и пи воду в дому его.
And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 И бысть им седящым на трапезе, и бысть слово Господне ко пророку возвращшему его.
And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
21 И рече к человеку Божию пришедшему от Иуды, глаголя: сице глаголет Господь: понеже преогорчил еси глаголгол Господень и не сохранил еси заповеди, юже заповеда тебе Господь Бог твой,
And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
22 и возвратився ял еси хлеб и пил еси воду на месте сем, о немже рече к тебе, глаголя: да не яси хлеба и не пиеши воды: сего ради не внидет во гроб тело твое со отцы твоими.
and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”
23 И бысть по ядении хлеба и по питии воды, и оседла осля тому пророку, и возвратися, и отиде:
And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
24 и обрете его лев на пути, и умертви его: и бе тело его повержено на пути, и осел стояше над ним, и лев стояше близ телесе (его):
And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
25 и се, мужие мимоидуще, и видеша мертва повержена на пути и льва стояща близ мертваго: и приидоша, и поведаша во граде, в немже живяше пророк старый.
And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
26 И услыша (сие пророк) возвративый его с пути и рече: человек Божии сей есть, иже преступи глаголгол Божий, и предаде его Господь льву, и сокруши его, и умертви его по глаголголу Господню, егоже рече ему.
And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”
27 И повеле сыном своим, глаголя: оседлайте ми осля. И оседлаша.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
28 И пойде, и обрете тело его повержено на пути, и осел и лев стояста над телом, и не снеде лев телесе человека Божия и не сокруши осла.
and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.
29 И взя пророк тело человека Божия, и возложи е на осля, и возврати е пророк, и вниде во град погребсти его,
Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.
30 и положи тело его во гробе своем, и рыдаше по нем: увы, брате.
And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
31 И бысть по рыдании о нем, и рече к сыном своим, глаголя: аще умру, погребите мя во гробе сем, идеже человек Божий погребен есть, при костех его положите мя, да спасутся кости моя с костьми его,
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.
32 яко сбудется глагол, егоже глагола словом Господним о олтари, иже во Вефили, и о домех высоких, иже в Самарии.
For certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
33 И по глаголе сем не обратися Иеровоам от злобы своея, и возвратися, и сотвори от части единыя людий жерцы высоких: иже хотяше, исполняше руку свою, и бываше жрец на высоких.
After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.
34 И бысть глагол сей в прегрешение дому Иеровоамлю, и на испровержение, и на изчезновение от лица земли.
And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
