Третья книга Царств 19
1 И возвести Ахаав Иезавели жене своей вся, елика сотвори Илиа, и яко изби пророки оружием.
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all 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.
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
3 И убояся Илиа, и воста, и отиде души ради своея, и прииде в Вирсавию землю Иудину, и остави отрочище свое тамо,
When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and 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.
But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; 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.
He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel 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.
He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
7 И обратися Ангел Господень вторицею, и коснуся ему, и рече ему: востани, яждь и пий, яко мног от тебе путь.
Yahweh’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey 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.
He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.
9 И вниде тамо в пещеру, и вселися в ней. И се, глагол Господень к нему и рече: что ты зде, Илие?
He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, and he said 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.
He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
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:
He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
12 и по трусе огнь, и не во огни Господь: и по огни глас хлада тонка, и тамо Господь.
After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.
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?
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “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.
He said, “I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
15 И рече Господь к нему: иди, возвратися путем своим, и изыдеши на путь пустыни Дамасковы, и помажеши Азаила на царство Сирийское,
Yahweh said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael 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:
Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
17 и будет спасаемаго от оружия Азаилева убиет Ииуй, и спасаемаго от оружия Ииуина убиет Елиссей:
He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
18 и оставиши во Израили седмь тысящ мужей, вся колена, яже не преклониша колена Ваалу, и всяка уста, яже не молишася ему.
Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which 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.
So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on 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.
Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; 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.
He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
