Вторая книга Паралипоменон 20
1 По сих же приидоша сынове Моавли и сынове Аммони и с ними от Амманитов ко Иосафату на брань.
And after this came the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them [some] of the Minaeans, against Josaphat to battle.
2 Приидоша же и сказаша Иосафату, глаголюще: идет противу тебе велико множество от об он пол моря от Сирии, и се, стоят во Асасан-Фамаре, иже есть Енгадди.
And they came and told Josaphat, saying, There is come against you a great multitude from Syria, from beyond the sea; and, behold, they are in Asasan Thamar, this is Engadi.
3 И убояся, и вдаде Иосафат лице свое взыскати Господа, и проповеда пост во всей Иудеи.
And Josaphat was alarmed, and set his face to seek the Lord earnestly, and he proclaimed a fast in all Juda.
4 И собрася весь Иуда взыскати Господа: и от всех градов Иудиных приидоша ко умолению Господню.
And Juda gathered themselves together to seek after the Lord: even from all the cities of Juda they came to seek the Lord.
5 И ста Иосафат в собрании Иуды во Иерусалиме, в дому Господни пред лицем двора новаго,
And Josaphat stood up in the assembly of Juda in Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, in front of the new court.
6 и рече: Господи Боже отец наших, не Ты ли еси Бог на небеси горе, и Ты владычствуеши всеми царствы язык, и в руку Твоею есть крепость силы, и кто противостанет Тебе?
And he said, O Lord God of my fathers, are not you God in heaven above, and are not you Lord of all the kingdoms of the nations? and [is there] not in your hand the might of dominion, and there is no one who can resist you?
7 Не Ты ли еси Бог наш искоренивый живущыя на земли сей от лица людий Твоих Израиля, и дал еси ю семени Авраамлю возлюбленному Твоему во веки?
Are not you the Lord that did destroy the inhabitants of this land before the face of your people Israel, and did give it to your beloved seed of Abraham for ever?
8 И вселишася на ней, и устроиша в ней святыню имени Твоему, глаголюще:
And they lived in it, and built in it a sanctuary to your name, saying,
9 аще нападут на ны злая, мечь, суд, губителство, глад, станем пред домом сим и пред Тобою, яко призвано имя Твое в дому сем, и возопием к Тебе от скорбей наших, и услышиши и спасеши:
If there should come upon us evils, sword, judgement, pestilence, famine, we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name [is] upon this house, ) and we will cry to you because of the affliction, and you shall hear, and deliver.
10 и ныне се, сынове Аммони и Моавли и гора Сиир, сквозе яже не изволил еси Израилю проити, егда исхождаху от земли Египетския, но уклонишася от них и не избиша их:
And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, with regard to whom you did not permit Israel to pass through their border, when they had come out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned away from them, and did not destroy them; )—
11 и се, ныне сии нападают на ны исходяще изгонити нас от наследия нашего, еже предал еси нам.
yet now, behold, they make attempts against us, to come forth to cast us out from our inheritance which you gave us.
12 Господи Боже наш, не судиши ли им? В нас бо несть толика крепость, да можем сему множеству сопротивитися, еже нападе на ны, и не вемы что соделати имамы им: но токмо очи наши к Тебе.
O Lord our God, will you not judge them? for we have no strength to resist this great multitude that is come against us; and we know not what we shall do to them: but our eyes are towards you.
13 И весь Иуда стояше пред Господем, и чада их, и жены их.
And all Juda was standing before the Lord, and their children, and their wives.
14 Бе же Иозиил сын Захариин, сынов Ванеа, сынов Елеила, сынов Мафаниа левитина, от сынов Асафовых, и бысть на нем Дух Господень посреде народа,
And Oziel the [son] of Zacharias, of the children of Banaias, of the sons of Eleiel, the sons of Matthanias the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, —upon him came the Spirit of the Lord in the assembly:
15 и рече: слышите, весь Иуда и обитающии во Иерусалиме, и ты, царю Иосафате: сия рече Господь вам: не бойтеся, ниже ужасайтеся от лица народа сего многаго, несть бо ваше ополчение, но Божие:
and he said, Hear you, all Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and king Josaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, even you, Fear not, neither be alarmed, before all this great multitude; for the battle is not years, but God's.
16 заутра изыдите противу их: се, восходят по восходу Ассис, и обрящете их на краи реки противу пустыни Иериил:
To-morrow go you down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Assis, and you shall find them at the extremity of the river of the wilderness of Jeriel.
17 не ваше есть воевати: сия разумейте и узрите сие спасение Господне с вами, Иудо и Иерусалиме: не убойтеся, ни ужасайтеся заутра изыти противу их, и Господь с вами.
It is not for you to fight: understand these things, and see the deliverance of the Lord with you, Juda and Jerusalem: fear not, neither be afraid to go forth to-morrow to meet them; and the Lord shall be with you.
18 И преклонься Иосафат на лице свое, и весь Иуда, и обитающии во Иерусалиме, падоша пред Господем поклонитися Господеви.
And Josaphat bowed with his face [to the ground] with all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, [and] they fell before the Lord to worship the Lord.
19 И восташа левити от сынов Каафовых и от сынов Кореовых, хвалити Господа Бога Израилева гласом великим в высоту.
And the Levites of the children of Caath, and [they] of the sons of Core, rose up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20 И заутра восташа рано и изыдоша в пустыню Фекое. И внегда исходити им, ста Иосафат (посреде их), и возопи и рече: услышите мя, мужие Иудины и вси обитающии во Иерусалиме: веруйте в Господа Бога нашего и уверитеся: веруйте пророку Его, и благопоспешится вам.
And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Thecoe: and as they went out, Josaphat stood and cried, and said, Hear me, Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem; put your trust in the Lord God, and your trust shall be honoured; trust in his prophet, and you shall prosper.
21 И советова с людьми, и постави псалмопевцы, и хвалящих исповедатися, и хвалити святая, внегда изыти пред силою, и глаголаху: исповедайтеся Господеви, яко благ, яко в век милость Его.
And he took counsel with the people, and set appointed men to sing psalms and praises, to give thanks, and sing the holy songs of praise in going forth before the host: and they said, Give thanks to the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever.
22 Егда же начаша хваления и исповедания, обрати Господь воевати сынов Аммоних на Моава и гору Сиир, изшедших на Иуду, и поражени быша.
And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] mount Seir that came out against Juda; and they were routed.
23 И восташа сынове Аммони и Моавли на обитающих в горе Сиири, да побиют их и сокрушат: и егда скончаша обитающих в Сиире, восташа друг на друга, да потребятся.
Then the children of Ammon and Moab rose up against the dwellers in mount Seir, to destroy and consume them; and when they had made an end of [destroying] the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up against one another so that they were utterly destroyed.
24 Иуда же прииде на созирание от пустыни, и воззре, и виде множество: и се, вси мертви падше на землю, и не бе спасыйся.
And Juda came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, and looked, and saw the multitude, and, behold, [they were] all fallen dead upon the earth, not one escaped.
25 И изыде Иосафат и людие его взяти корысти их, и обретоша скота много, и одежды, и корысти, и сосуды дражайшыя и плениша их: и быша собирающе корысти их три дни, яко многи бяху.
And Josaphat and his people went out to spoil them, and they found much cattle, and furniture, and spoils, and precious things: and they spoiled them, and they were three days gathering the spoil, for it was abundant.
26 Дне же четвертаго собрахуся во удоль благословения, ибо тако благословиша Господа: сего ради прозваша место то удоль благословения даже до сего дне.
And it came to pass on the fourth day they were gathered to the Valley of Blessing; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of the place the Valley of Blessing, until this day.
27 И возвратишася вси мужие Иудины во Иерусалим и Иосафат вождь их с веселием великим: яко возвесели их Господь о вразех их.
And all the men of Juda returned to Jerusalem, and Josaphat led them with great joy; for the Lord gave them joy over their enemies.
28 И внидоша во Иерусалим со псалтирми и гусльми и трубами в дом Господень.
And they entered into Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, [going] into the house of the lord.
29 И бысть страх Господень на вся царства земная, внегда услышати им, яко порази Господь враги Израилевы.
And there was a terror of the Lord upon all the kingdoms of the land, when they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.
30 И умирися царство Иосафатово, и даде ему Господь покой окрест.
And the kingdom of Josaphat was at peace; and his God gave him rest round about.
31 И царствова Иосафат над Иудою, сый лет тридесяти пяти, егда царство прия и двадесять пять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Азува, дщи Салиина.
And Josaphat reigned over Juda, being thirty-five years [old] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azuba, daughter of Sali.
32 И хождаше в путех отца своего Асы, и не уклонися от них творити правое пред Господем:
And he walked in the ways of his father Asa, and turned not aside from doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
33 обаче высокая еще бяху, и еще людие не управиша сердца своего ко Господу Богу отец своих.
nevertheless the high places yet remained; and as yet the people did not direct their heart to the Lord God of their fathers.
34 Прочая же деяния Иосафатова первая и последняя, се, писана суть во словесех Ииуа сына Ананиина, иже написа книгу царей Израилевых.
And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jeu [the son] of Anani, who wrote the book of the kings of Israel.
35 И по сих сообщися Иосафат царь Иудин со Охозиею царем Израилевым, и сей беззаконнова,
And afterwards Josaphat king of Juda entered into an alliance with Ochozias king of Israel, (now this was an unrighteous man, )
36 занеже сотвори, и отиде к нему, да сотворят корабли, еже ити во Фарсис: и сотвори корабли в Гасион-Гавере.
by acting [with] and going to him, to build ships to go to Tharsis: and he built ships in Gasion Gaber.
37 И пророчествова Елиезер сын Додиа от Марисиса на Иосафата, глаголя: понеже возимел еси любовь со Охозиею, сокруши Господь дело твое, и сокрушишася корабли твоя и не возмогоша поити во Фарсис.
And Eliezer you [son] of Dodia of Marisa prophesied against Josaphat, saying, Forasmuch as you have allied yourself with Ochozias, the Lord has broken your work, and your vessels have been wrecked. And they could not go to Tharsis.
