Вторая книга Паралипоменон 18
1 И бысть Иосафату богатство и слава многа, и поят жену в дому Ахаавли.
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
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.
After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
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.
Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 И рече Иосафат царю Израилеву: вопроси убо днесь Господа.
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please enquire first for the LORD’s word.”
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.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
6 Рече же Иосафат: несть ли зде пророка Господня еще, да от него вопросим?
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there 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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may enquire of the LORD; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
8 И призва царь Израилев единаго от евнух и рече ему: (призови) скоро Михею сына Иемвлина.
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
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.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place 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.
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
11 И вси пророцы прорицаху тако, глаголюще: взыди в Рамоф Галаадский и предуспееши, и предаст Господь в руку цареву.
All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand 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.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
13 И отвеща Михеа: жив Господь, яко еже аще речет Бог ко мне, сие возглаголю.
Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, I will say what my God says.”
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.
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
15 И рече ему царь: колико крат заклинаю тя, да не глаголеши мне, токмо истину во имя Господне.
The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?”
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.
He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
17 И рече царь Израилев ко Иосафату: не рех ли тебе, яко не прорицает о мне благая, но токмо злая?
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, 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:
Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the LORD’s word: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing 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:
The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
20 и изыде дух, и ста пред Господем, и рече: аз прельщу его: емуже Господь, в чем, рече, (прельстиши)?
A spirit came out, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “The LORD said to him, ‘How?’
21 И рече: изыду и буду дух лжив во устех всех пророков его: рече же (Господь): прельстиши и превозможеши, изыди и сотвори тако:
“He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
22 и ныне се, Господь даде духа лжива во уста всем пророком твоим сим, и Господь глагола о тебе злая.
“Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.”
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 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
24 Рече же Михеа: се, узриши в день той, егда внидеши в ложницу из ложницы, да укрыешися.
Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
25 И рече царь Израилев: возмите Михею, и отведите ко Еммиру началнику града и ко Иоасу князю сыну цареву,
The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash 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 say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with 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.
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!”
28 И взыде царь Израилев и Иосафат царь Иудин в Рамоф Галаадский.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went 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 his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with 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.
When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 И бысть егда увидеша воеводы колесниц, яко не бяше царь Израилев, оставиша его.
When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing 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.
A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armour. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely 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.
The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.
