Третья книга Царств 20
1 И сын Адеров царь Сирский собра всю силу свою, и возшед обседе Самарию, и с ним тридесять два царя и вси конницы и колесницы: и взыдоша, и обседоша Самарию, и ратоваша на ню:
Ben Hadad the king of Aram gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 и посла ко Ахааву царю Израилеву во град и рече к нему: сице глаголет сын Адеров:
He sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, "Thus says Ben Hadad,
3 сребро твое и злато твое мое есть, и жены твоя и чада твоя добрая моя суть.
'Your silver and your gold is mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.'"
4 И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: якоже глаголал еси, господи мой царю, твой есмь аз и вся моя.
The king of Israel answered, "It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have."
5 И возвратишася послы и реша: сице глаголет сын Адеров: аз посылах к тебе, глаголя: сребро и злато твое и жены твоя и чада твоя даждь мне:
The messengers came again, and said, "Ben Hadad says, 'I sent indeed to you, saying, "You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
6 яко в сей час утро послю рабы моя к тебе, и изыщут дом твой и домы отрок твоих, и будут вся желаемая очес их, на нихже аще возложат руки своя, и возмут.
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in their eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away."'"
7 И призва царь Израилев вся старейшины земли и рече: знайте ныне и видите, яко той зле просит, яко присла ко мне (глаголя) о женах моих и о сынех моих и о дщерех моих: сребра моего и злата моего не возбраних ему.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not deny him."
8 И реша ему старейшины и вси людие: не послушай, ни восхощи (дати).
All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen, neither consent."
9 И рече послом сына Адерова: рцыте господину вашему: вся, ихже ради посылал еси к рабу твоему прежде, сотворю, сего же глагола не могу сотворити. И отидоша мужие (адеровы) и возвестиша ему слово.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do.'" The messengers departed, and brought him back the message.
10 И паки посла к нему сын Адеров, глаголя: сия да сотворят ми бози и сия да приложат, аще доволна будет персть Самарии горстем всех людий пешцев моих.
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."
11 И отвеща царь Израилев и рече: доволно: да не хвалится слячен, якоже прямый.
The king of Israel answered, "Tell him, 'Do not let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.'"
12 И бысть егда отвеща ему слово сие, бе пиющь сам и вси царие, иже бяху с ним в кущах: и рече отроком своим: сотворите вал. И Сотвориша вал над градом.
It happened, when Ben Hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, "Prepare to attack." They prepared to attack the city.
13 И се, пророк един прииде к Ахааву царю Израилеву и рече: сия глаголет Господь: видиши ли весь народ сей великий? Се, Аз дам его днесь в руце твои, и уразумееши, яко Аз (есмь) Господь.
Look, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Look, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
14 И рече Ахаав: в чем? И рече: сице глаголет Господь: во отроцех князей градских. И рече Ахаав: кто начнет брань? И рече: ты.
Ahab said, "By whom?" He said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'By the young men of the governors of the districts.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" He answered, "You."
15 И сочте Ахаав отроки князей градских, и бысть их двести тридесять и два: и по сих сочте люди вся сыны силы, седмь тысящ.
Then he mustered the young men of the governors of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 И изыде в полудне: и сын Адеров пиян бе зело в Сокхофе сам и царие (иже с ним), тридесять два царя помощника ему.
They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17 И изыдоша отроцы воевод градских в первых. И посла сын Адеров, и возвестиша царю сирскому, глаголюще: мужие изыдоша из Самарии.
the young men of the governors of the districts went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out from Samaria."
18 И рече им: аще на мир изыдоша, поимите их живых: и аще на брань изыдоша, живых поимите их, да не исходят из града.
He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive."
19 И тии изыдоша из града отроцы воевод градских, и сила вслед их.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the governors of the districts, and the army which followed them.
20 И порази кийждо противнаго себе, и удвои кийждо противнаго себе. И бежа Сириа: и погна их Израиль, и гонзе токмо сын Адеров царь Сирский на кони конника.
They each killed his man. The Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 И изыде царь Израилев, и взя вся кони и колесницы, и порази язвою великою в Сирии.
The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
22 И прииде пророк к царю Израилеву и рече: укрепися и разумей, и виждь, что сотвориши, яко преходящу лету сему, сын Адеров, царь Сирийский, приидет на тя.
The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."
23 И отроцы царя Сирийска реша ему: Бог гор Бог Израилев, а не Бог юдолий, сего ради укрепися паче нас: аще же сразимся с ними на равнине, истинно укрепимся паче их:
The servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 по глаголу же сему сотвори: распусти цари коегождо на место свое, и постави вместо их воеводы,
Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
25 и пременим тебе силу вместо силы падшия у тебе, и кони вместо коней, и колесницы вместо колесниц, и сразимся с ними на равнине, и укрепимся паче их. И послуша гласа их и сотвори тако.
Muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than them." He listened to their voice, and did so.
26 И бысть минувшу лету тому, и сочте сын Адеров Сирию, и взыде во Афеку на брань на Израиля.
It happened at the return of the year, that Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 И сынове Израилевы сочислишася и изыдоша во сретение им. И ополчишася Израилтяне противу им, аки два стада коз: Сириане же наполниша землю.
The children of Israel were mustered, and were provisioned, and went against them. The children of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Arameans filled the country.
28 И прииде человек Божий и рече к царю Израилеву: сице глаголет Господь: понеже рече Сириа: Бог гор Господь Бог Израилев, и не Бог юдолий той, и дам силу великую сию в руку твою, и уразумееши, яко Аз Господь.
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Because the Arameans have said, "Jehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys"; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
29 И ополчишася тии противу им седмь дний. И бысть в день седмый, и приближися брань, и порази Израиль Сириан, сто и двадесять тысящ пешцев во един день.
They camped one over against the other seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Arameans in one day.
30 И бежаша оставшиися во Афеку град, и паде стена на двадесять седмь тысящ мужей оставшихся: сын же Адеров бежа и вниде в дом ложа, в чертог.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.
31 И реша к нему отроцы его: се, ныне вемы, яко царие дому Израилева милостиви суть: да возложим ныне вретища на чресла наша и ужа на выи нашя, и изыдем ко царю Израилеву, да негли оживит душы нашя.
His servants said to him, "See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life."
32 И препоясашася во вретища по чреслом своим, и возложиша ужя на выи своя, и приидоша к царю Израилеву и реша: раб твой сын Адеров глаголет: да живет душа моя. И рече: аще есть еще жив, брат ми есть.
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, "Your servant Ben Hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" He said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."
33 И мужие за знак и в залог прияша слово от уст его, и реша: брат твой сын Адеров. И рече: идите и приведите его. И изыде к нему сын Адеров. И возведоша его к нему на колесницу.
Now the men were looking for an omen, and they seized upon it from him, and they said, "Ben Hadad is your brother." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben Hadad came out to him, and he had him come up into the chariot.
34 И рече к нему: грады, яже взя отец мой от отца твоего, отдам тебе: и на исход сотвориши я себе в Дамасце, якоже положи отец мой в Самарии, и аз в завете пущу тя. И положи ему завет и отпусти его.
Ben Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." "I," said Ahab, "will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
35 И человек един от сынов пророчих рече ко ближнему своему по словеси Господню: бий мя ныне. И не восхоте человек бити его.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the word of Jehovah, "Please strike me." The man refused to strike him.
36 И рече к нему: понеже не послушал еси гласа Господня, се, ты отидеши от мене, и поразит тя лев. И отиде от него, и обрете его лев и порази его.
Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, look, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall kill you." As soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.
37 И обрете человека инаго и рече: бий мя ныне. И би его человек, и поразив сокруши его.
Then he found another man, and said, "Please strike me." The man struck him, smiting and wounding him.
38 И иде пророк и предста царю Израилеву на пути и покры покрывалом очи свои.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 И бысть егда мимоидяше царь, и сей возопи ко царю и рече: раб твой изыде на войну брани, и се, муж приведе ко мне мужа и рече ко мне: сохрани мужа сего: аще же отрешився отскочит, и будет душа твоя вместо души его, или талант отдаси сребра:
As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and look, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, 'Guard this man. If by any means he be missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'
40 и бысть яко озреся раб твой семо и овамо, и сего не бысть. И рече к нему царь Израилев: се, суд твой при мне, сам себе убил еси.
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So your judgment shall be; you yourself have decided it."
41 И ускори и отя покрывало от очес своих. И позна его царь Израилев, яко от пророк сей есть.
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was of the prophets.
42 И рече к нему: тако глаголет Господь: понеже испустил еси ты мужа пагубнаго из руки твоея, и будет душа твоя вместо души его, и людие твои вместо людий его.
He said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.'"
43 И отиде царь Израилев к дому своему смущен и разслаблен, и прииде в Самарию.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
