< Вторая книга Паралипоменон 18 >
1 И бысть Иосафату богатство и слава многа, и поят жену в дому Ахаавли.
And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.
2 И сниде при концы лет ко Ахааву в Самарию: и закла ему Ахаав овны и волы многи, и людем сущым с ним, и увещаваше его, да снидет с ним в Рамоф Галаадский.
And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab slew for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.
3 И рече Ахаав царь Израилев ко Иосафату царю Иудину: пойдеши ли со мною в Рамоф Галаадский? И рече ему: якоже аз, тако и ты: и якоже людие твои, тако и людие мои с тобою на брань.
And Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [art] thou, as thy people, [so] also [is] my people with thee for the war.
4 И рече Иосафат царю Израилеву: вопроси убо днесь Господа.
And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray thee, the Lord to-day.
5 И собра царь Израилев пророков четыреста мужей и рече к ним: пойду ли в Рамоф Галаадский на брань, или удержуся? И реша: взыди, и предаст Бог в руку цареву.
And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.
6 Рече же Иосафат: несть ли зде пророка Господня еще, да от него вопросим?
And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?
7 И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: есть еще муж един, имже вопросити Господа, но аз ненавижду его, понеже не прорицает мне во благая, зане вси дние его во злая: сей Михеа сын Иемвлин. Рече же Иосафат: не глаголи, царю тако.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 И призва царь Израилев единаго от евнух и рече ему: (призови) скоро Михею сына Иемвлина.
And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.
9 Царь же Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин кийждо седяше на престоле своем, и облечена красотою царскою, седяста же на пространстве близ врат Самарийских, и вси пророцы пророчествоваху пред нима.
And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 И сотвори себе Седекиа сын Ханаань роги железны и рече: сия глаголет Господь: сими избодеши Сирию, дондеже скончается.
And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt thrust Syria until it be consumed.
11 И вси пророцы прорицаху тако, глаголюще: взыди в Рамоф Галаадский и предуспееши, и предаст Господь в руку цареву.
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king.
12 Вестник же, шедый призвати Михею, рече ему: се, рекоша пророцы единеми усты благая о цари да будут убо и твоя словеса, якоже единаго от них, и да речеши благая.
And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray thee, thy words be as [the words] of one of them, and do thou speak good things.
13 И отвеща Михеа: жив Господь, яко еже аще речет Бог ко мне, сие возглаголю.
And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.
14 И прииде ко царю, и рече ему царь: Михее, имам ли ити Рамоф Галаадский на брань, или удержуся? И отвеща: взыди и предуспееши, и предадутся (врази) в руки вашя.
And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and thou shalt prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.
15 И рече ему царь: колико крат заклинаю тя, да не глаголеши мне, токмо истину во имя Господне.
And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge thee that thou speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?
16 И рече Михеа: видех всего Израиля расточена по горам яко овцы, имже несть пастыря: и рече Господь: не имут сии вожда, да возвратятся кийждо в дом свой в мире.
And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.
17 И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: не рех ли тебе, яко не прорицает о мне благая, но токмо злая?
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Said I not to thee, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil?
18 И рече Михеа: не тако: слышите слово Господне: видех Господа седяща на престоле Своем, и вся сила небесная предстояше одесную Его и ошуюю Его:
But he said, Not so. Hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left.
19 и рече Господь: кто прельстит Ахаава царя Израилева, да взыдет и падет в Рамофе Галаадстем? И глаголаше един тако, и ин рече тако:
And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.
20 и изыде дух, и ста пред Господем, и рече: аз прельщу его: емуже Господь, в чем, рече, (прельстиши)?
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?
21 И рече: изыду и буду дух лжив во устех всех пророков его: рече же (Господь): прельстиши и превозможеши, изыди и сотвори тако:
And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, Thou shalt deceive [him], and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so.
22 и ныне се, Господь даде духа лжива во уста всем пророком твоим сим, и Господь глагола о тебе злая.
And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against thee.
23 И приступи Седекиа сын Ханаань, и удари Михею в ланиту и рече ему: коим путем пройде Дух Господень от мене, еже глаголати к тебе?
Then Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and smote Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to thee?
24 Рече же Михеа: се, узриши в день той, егда внидеши в ложницу из ложницы, да укрыешися.
And Michaias said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
25 И рече царь Израилев: возмите Михею, и отведите ко Еммиру началнику града и ко Иоасу князю сыну цареву,
And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king's son;
26 и рцыте: сия глаголет царь: вверзите сего в темницу, и да яст хлеб печали и воду печали, дондеже возвращуся в мире.
and ye shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, until I return in peace.
27 Рече же Михеа: аще возвращаяся возвратишися в мире, не глагола Господь мною. И рече: слышите, вси людие.
And Michaias said, If thou do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all ye people.
28 И взыде царь Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин в Рамоф Галаадский.
So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.
29 Рече же царь Израилев ко Иосафату: прикрыюся и вниду во брань, ты же облецыся в ризы моя. И прикрыся царь Израилев и вниде во брань.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do thou put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
30 Царь же Сирский повеле вождем колесниц своих, глаголя: не устремляйтеся на мала и на велика, но токмо на самаго царя Израилева.
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel.
31 И бысть егда увидеша началницы колесниц Иосафата, глаголаша: царь Израилев есть сей. И обыдоша его воююще. Иосафат же возопи ко Господу, и Господь послуша его, и отврати их Бог от него.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him.
32 И бысть егда увидеша воеводы колесниц, яко не бяше царь Израилев, оставиша его.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.
33 И муж наляче лук приметно и порази царя Израилева между легким и персями. И рече возатаю своему: обрати руку твою и изведи мя от брани яко изнемогох.
And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn thine hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded.
34 И скончана бысть брань в день той, и царь Израилев бе стоя на колеснице своей противу Сириом даже до вечера, и умре заходящу солнцу.
And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
