Третья книга Царств 15
1 И во осмоенадесять лето царства Иеровоама сына Наватова, воцарися Авиа сын Ровоамль над Иудою,
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
2 и три лета царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Мааха, дщи Авессаломля.
He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
3 И хождаше во всех гресех отца своего, яже сотвори пред ним, и не бе сердце его совершено с Господем Богом его, якоже сердце Давида отца его:
Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
4 яко Давида ради остави ему Господь Бог его останок во Иерусалиме, да возставит по нем чада его и утвердит Иерусалим,
But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
5 понеже сотвори Давид правое пред Господем и не уклонися от всех, яже заповеда ему вся дни живота его, кроме слова Урии Хеттеанина.
Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
6 И брань бе между Ровоамом и между Иеровоамом во вся дни живота их.
There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
7 И прочая словес Авииных, и вся яже сотвори, не се ли, сия написана в книзе слов дний царей Иудиных? И брань бе между Авиею и между Иеровоамом.
Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
8 И успе Авиа со отцы своими в двадесятое лето Иеровоама, и погребоша его со отцы его во граде Давидове. И воцарися Аса сын его вместо его.
Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
9 И в лето двадесятое Иеровоама царя Израилева, царствоваше Аса над Иудою,
After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
10 и четыредесять и едино лето царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матере его Ана, дщи Авессаломля.
He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
11 И сотвори Аса правое пред Господем, якоже Давид отец его,
Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
12 и отя скверная от земли, и искорени вся изваянная, яже сотвориша отцы его,
He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
13 и Ану матерь свою отстави еже не владети ей, понеже сотвори сонмище в Дубраве своей: и изсече Аса Гай ея и сожже огнем в потоце Кедрстем:
He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 высоких же не искорени, обаче сердце Асы бе совершенно пред Господем во вся дни его:
He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
15 и внесе столпы отца своего, и столпы своя внесе во храм Господень сребряны и златы, и сосуды.
He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
16 И брань бе между Асою и между Ваасом царем Израилевым во вся дни их.
There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
17 И взыде Вааса царь Израилев на Иуду и созда Раму, яко не быти на исхождение и вхождение Асе царю Иудину.
Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
18 И взя Аса все сребро и злато обретшееся в сокровищах дому Господня и в сокровищах дому царева и даде я в руце отрок своих: и посла их царь Аса ко сыну Адерову сыну Таверема во Рамман, ко сыну Азаила, царя Сирскаго, живущаго в Дамасце, глаголя:
So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
19 положи завет между мною и тобою, и между отцем моим и отцем твоим: се, послах ти дары, сребро и злато: прииди, разруши завет твой, иже со Ваасою царем Израилевым, да отидет от мене.
“I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
20 И послуша сын Адеров царя Асы, и посла воеводы сил своих на грады Израилевы, и поразиша Аина и Дана, и Авеля, Дому Маахиина, и весь Хеннереф, даже до всея земли Неффалимли.
[So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
21 И бысть яко услыша Вааса, и остави созидати Раму, и возвратися во Ферсу.
When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
22 Царь же Аса заповеда всему Иуде во енакиме, и взяша камение из Рамы и древа ея, имиже основа Вааса, и созда в них царь Аса всяк Холм Вениаминь и Стражбища.
Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
23 Прочая же словес Асиных, и вся сила его, и вся яже сотвори, и грады яже созда, не се ли, сия писана суть в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных? Обаче во время старости своея начат болети ногама своима:
Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
24 и успе Аса со отцы своими, и погребен бысть во граде Давида отца своего. И воцарися Иосафат сын его вместо его.
He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
25 Нават же сын Иеровоамль нача царствовати над Израилем во второе лето Асы царя Иудина, и царствова над Израилем два лета,
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
26 и сотвори лукавое пред Господем, и хождаше путем отца своего и во гресех его, имиже согрешити сотвори Израилю.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
27 И обседе его Вааса сын Ахиин в дому Велаана сына Ахиина, и уби его во Гавафоне иноплеменничи: Нават же и весь Израиль обседоша Гавафон.
[A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
28 И умертви его Вааса в лето третие Асы царя Иудина, и воцарися вместо его.
That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
29 И бысть егда воцарися, изби весь дом Иеровоамль и не остави ничтоже от всего дыхания Иеровоамля, дондеже искорени их по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола рукою раба Своего Ахии Силонитскаго,
As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
30 грех ради Иеровоамлих, иже согреши, иже введе во грех Израиля, и в прогневании его, имже прогнева Господа Бога Израилева.
That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
31 И прочая словеса Навата, и вся яже сотвори, не се ли, сия писана суть в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
32 И бяше брань между Асою (царем Иудиным) и Ваасою царем Израилевым во вся дни их.
There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
33 И в третие лето Асы царя Иудина царствова Вааса сын Ахиин над всем Израилем во Ферсе двадесять и четыре лета,
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
34 и сотвори лукавое пред Господем, и иде путем Иеровоама сына Наватова, и во гресех его, имиже в согрешение приведе Израиля.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
