Третья книга Царств 19
1 И возвести Ахаав Иезавели жене своей вся, елика сотвори Илиа, и яко изби пророки оружием.
And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by 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 Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life 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 he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man 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 has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not 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 lies down and sleeps under a certain broom tree, and behold, a messenger is reaching toward him and says to him, “Rise, 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 he looks attentively, and behold, at his bolster [is] a cake [on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down.
7 И обратися Ангел Господень вторицею, и коснуся ему, и рече ему: востани, яждь и пий, яко мног от тебе путь.
And the messenger of YHWH turns back a second time, and is reaching toward him, and says, “Rise, eat, for the way is too great for 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 rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food [for] forty days and forty nights, to the mountain of God—Horeb.
9 И вниде тамо в пещеру, и вселися в ней. И се, глагол Господень к нему и рече: что ты зде, Илие?
And he comes in there, to the cave, and lodges there, and behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, and says to him, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
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 he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant—they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, 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 says, “Go out, and you have stood on the mountain before YHWH.” And behold, YHWH is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is tearing mountains, and shattering rocks before YHWH, [but] YHWH [is] not in the wind; and after the wind [is] a shaking, [but] YHWH [is] not in the shaking;
12 и по трусе огнь, и не во огни Господь: и по огни глас хлада тонка, и тамо Господь.
and after the shaking [is] a fire, [but] YHWH [is] not in the fire; and after the fire [is] a voice [like] a small whisper;
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 comes to pass, at Elijah’s hearing [it], that he wraps his face in his robe, and goes out, and stands at the opening of the cave, and behold, a voice [speaks] to him, and it says, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
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 he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, 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 YHWH says to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you have gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
16 и Ииуа сына Намессиина помажеши на царство над Израилем, и Елиссеа сына Сафатова от Авелмаула помажеши вместо себе пророка:
and you anoint Jehu son of Nimshi for king over Israel, and you anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, for prophet in your stead.
17 и будет спасаемаго от оружия Азаилева убиет Ииуй, и спасаемаго от оружия Ииуина убиет Елиссей:
And it has been, he who has escaped from the sword of Hazael, Jehu puts to death, and he who has escaped from the sword of Jehu, Elisha puts to death;
18 и оставиши во Израили седмь тысящ мужей, вся колена, яже не преклониша колена Ваалу, и всяка уста, яже не молишася ему.
and I have left in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to Ba‘al, and every mouth that has not kissed 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 goes there, and finds Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passes over to him, and casts his robe at 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 he forsakes the ox, and runs after Elijah, and says, “Please let me give a kiss to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.” And he says to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to 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 turns back from after him, and takes the yoke of the ox, and sacrifices it, and with [the] instruments of the ox he has boiled its flesh, and gives to the people, and they eat, and he rises, and goes after Elijah, and serves him.
