Третья книга Царств 19
1 И возвести Ахаав Иезавели жене своей вся, елика сотвори Илиа, и яко изби пророки оружием.
And Achaab told Jezabel his wife all that Eliu [had] done, and how he [had] slain the prophets with the sword.
2 И посла Иезавель ко Илии и рече: аще ты еси Илиа, аз же Иезавель: сия да сотворят ми бози и сия да приложат ми, яко в сей же час утро положу душу твою, якоже душу единаго от них.
And Jezabel sent to Eliu, and said, If you are Eliu and I am Jezabel, God do so to me, and more also, if I do not make your life by this time to-morrow as the life of one of them.
3 И убояся Илиа, и воста, и отиде души ради своея, и прииде в Вирсавию землю Иудину, и остави отрочище свое тамо,
And Eliu feared, and rose, and departed for his life: and he comes to Bersabee [to] the land of Juda, and he left his servant there.
4 сам же иде в пустыню дне путь, и прииде, и седе под смерчием, и проси души своей смерти, и рече: довлеет ныне (ми), возми убо от мене душу мою, Господи, яко несмь аз лучший отец моих.
And he himself went a day's journey in the wilderness, and came and sat under a juniper tree; and asked concerning his life that he might die, and said, Let it be enough now, O Lord, take, I pray you, my life from me; for I am no better than my fathers.
5 И ляже, и успе под садом: и се, Ангел Господень коснуся ему и рече ему: востани, яждь и пий.
And he lay down and slept there under a tree; and behold, some one touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
6 И воззре Илиа: и се, у возглавия его опреснок ячменный и чванец воды. И воста, и яде и пи, и возвратився успе.
And Eliu looked, and, behold, at his head there was a cake of meal and a cruse of water; and he arose, and ate and drank, and returned and lay down.
7 И обратися Ангел Господень вторицею, и коснуся ему, и рече ему: востани, яждь и пий, яко мног от тебе путь.
And the angel of the Lord returned again, and touched him, and said to him, Arise, and eat, for the journey [is] far from you.
8 И воста, и яде и пи: и иде в крепости яди тоя четыредесять дний и четыредесять нощей до горы Божия Хорив.
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to mount Choreb.
9 И вниде тамо в пещеру, и вселися в ней. И се, глагол Господень к нему и рече: что ты зде, Илие?
And he entered there into a cave, and rested there; and, behold, the word of the Lord [came] to him, and he said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
10 И рече Илиа: ревнуя поревновах по Господе (Бозе) Вседержители, яко оставиша Тя сынове Израилевы: олтари Твоя раскопаша, и пророки Твоя избиша оружием, и остах аз един, и ищут души моея изяти ю.
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty, because the children of Israel have forsaken you: they have digged down your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword; and I only am left alone, and they seek my life to take it.
11 И рече: изыди утро и стани пред Господем в горе: и се, мимо пойдет Господь, и дух велик и крепок разоряя горы и сокрушая камение в горе пред Господем, (но) не в дусе Господь: и по дусе трус, и не в трусе Господь:
And he said, You shall go forth to-morrow, and shall stand before the Lord in the mount; behold, the Lord will pass by. And, behold, a great [and] strong wind rending the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord; [but] the Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the Lord [was] not in the earthquake:
12 и по трусе огнь, и не во огни Господь: и по огни глас хлада тонка, и тамо Господь.
and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the Lord [was] not in the fire: and after the fire the voice of a gentle breeze.
13 И бысть яко услыша Илиа, покры лице свое милотию своею, и изыде и ста пред вертепом. И се, к нему бысть глас и рече: что ты зде, Илие?
And it came to pass when Eliu heard, that he wrapt his face in his mantle, and went forth and stood in the cave: and, behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
14 И рече Илиа: ревнуя поревновах по Господе Бозе Вседержители, яко оставиша завет Твой сынове Израилевы, и олтари Твоя раскопаша, и пророки Твоя избиша оружием, и остах аз един, и ищут души моея изяти ю.
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, and they have overthrown your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword! and I am left entirely alone, and they seek my life to take it.
15 И рече Господь к нему: иди, возвратися путем своим, и изыдеши на путь пустыни Дамасковы, и помажеши Азаила на царство Сирийское,
And the Lord said to him, Go, return, and you shall come into the way of the wilderness of Damascus: and you shall go and anoint Azael to be king over Syria.
16 и Ииуа сына Намессиина помажеши на царство над Израилем, и Елиссеа сына Сафатова от Авелмаула помажеши вместо себе пророка:
And Ju the son of Namessi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisaie the son of Saphat shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.
17 и будет спасаемаго от оружия Азаилева убиет Ииуй, и спасаемаго от оружия Ииуина убиет Елиссей:
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Azael, Ju shall kill; and him that escapes from the sword of Ju, Elisaie shall kill.
18 и оставиши во Израили седмь тысящ мужей, вся колена, яже не преклониша колена Ваалу, и всяка уста, яже не молишася ему.
And you shall leave in Israel seven thousand men, all the knees which had not bowed themselves to Baal, and every mouth which had not worshipped him.
19 И иде оттуду, и обрете Елиссеа сына Сафатова, и сей оряше двеманадесятьма супругома волов пред ним, и той сам по двоюнадесяти супруг. И прииде Илиа к нему, и поверже милоть свою на него.
And he departed thence, and finds Elisaie the son of Saphat, and he was ploughing with oxen; [there were] twelve yoke before him, and he with the twelve, and he passed by to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 И остави Елиссей волы, и тече вслед Илии, и рече: (молю тя, ) да облобыжу отца моего и матерь мою, и иду вслед тебе. И рече ему Илиа: иди, возвратися, яко сотворих тебе.
And Elisaie left the cattle, and ran after Eliu and said, I will kiss my father, and follow after you. And Eliu said, Return, for I have done [a work] for you.
21 И возвратися от него: и взя супруги волов, и закла, и испече я в сосудех воловных, и даде людем, и ядоша. И воста, и иде вслед Илии, и служаше ему.
And he returned from following him, and took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled them with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and he arose, and went after Eliu, and ministered to him.
