Вторая книга Паралипоменон 25
1 Двадесяти пяти лет бысть Амасиа, егда царствовати нача, и двадесять девять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Иоадаень от Иерусалима.
AMAZIAH was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 И сотвори правое пред Господем, обаче не сердцем совершенным.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
3 И бысть егда утвердися царство в руце его, и умертви рабы своя иже убиша царя отца его.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
4 Сынов же их не изби по заповедем закона Господня, якоже писано есть в книзе закона Моисеова, якоже повеле Господь, глаголя: не умрут отцы за сыны, и сынове не умрут за отцы, но кийждо во гресе своем умрет.
But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5 И собра Амасиа дом Иудин, и постави их по домом отечеств их в тысящники и сотники, во всей Иудеи и Вениамине: и сочте их от двадесяти лет и вышше, и обрете их триста тысящ сильных исходити на брань, держащих копия и щиты.
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
6 Еще же ная от Израиля сто тысящ храбрых в силе, за сто талант сребра.
He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
7 И прииде человек Божий к нему, глаголя: о, царю да не изыдет с тобою сила Израилева, несть бо Господь со Израилем, со всеми сыны Ефремли:
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 яко аще мниши укрепитися с ними, в бегство обратит тя Господь пред враги, зане от Господа есть укрепитися и в бегство обратитися.
But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
9 Рече же Амасиа к человеку Божию: и что сотворю о сте талантах, яже дах силе Израилеве? И рече человек Божий: имать Господь дати тебе множае сих.
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this.
10 И отлучи Амасиа силу пришедшую к нему от Ефрема, отити на место свое. И разгневашася зело на Иуду, и возвратишася во страну свою во гневе ярости.
Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
11 И Амасиа укрепися, и взя люди своя и иде во удоль Сланую, и порази тамо сынов Сиир десять тысящ.
And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
12 И десять тысящ живых яша сынове Иудины, и приведоша их на верх некоторыя стремнины, и свергоша их стремглав с высоты стремнины, и вси разседошася.
And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
13 Сынове же силы, ихже отсла Амасиа, да не идут с ним на брань, нападоша на грады Иудины от Самарии даже до Вефорона: и убиша от них три тысящы, и плениша плен мног.
But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
14 И бысть егда возвратися Амасиа поразив Идумею, и принесе себе богов сынов Сиир, и постави в боги себе, и покланяшеся им и сам кадяше им.
Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
15 И бысть гнев Господень на Амасию, и посла к нему пророка, и рече ему: почто взыскал еси богов людских, иже не избавиша людий своих от руку твоею?
Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
16 И бысть егда той глаголаше к нему, и отвеща ему: еда советника царева поставих тя? Внемли, да не биен будеши. И умолча пророк и рече: вем, яко восхоте Господь потребити тя, занеже сотворил еси сие зло) и не послушал еси совета моего.
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
17 И совеща Амасиа царь Иудин, и посла ко Иоасу сыну Иоахаза сына Ииуева, ко царю Израилеву, глаголя: прииди, да увидимся между собою в лице.
Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
18 И посла Иоас царь Израилев ко Амасии царю Иудину, глаголя: терн, иже в Ливане, посла ко кедру ливанску, глаголя: даждь дщерь твою сыну моему в жену, и се, приидут зверие, иже в дубраве Ливанстей: и приидоша зверие и потопташа терн:
And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
19 рекл еси: се, поразих Идумею, и воздвизается сердце твое в гордыню: ныне седи в дому твоем, и почто совещаваеши себе лукавое? Падеши ты и Иуда с тобою.
Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
20 И не послуша Амасиа, зане от Господа бысть, да предастся в руки Иоасу, яко взыска богов Идумейских.
But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
21 И взыде Иоас царь Израилев, и явистася друг другу, той и Амасиа царь Иудин, в Вефсамисе, иже есть Иудин.
So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
22 И паде Иуда пред лицем Израилевым, и бежа кийждо в жилище свое.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
23 И Амасию царя Иудина сына Иоасова, сына Охозиина, ят Иоас царь Израилев в Вефсамисе, и введе его во Иерусалим, и разори стены Иерусалимли от врат Ефремлих даже до врат угла на четыреста лакот:
And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 и все злато и сребро, и вся сосуды обретшыяся в дому Господни и у Авдедома, и сокровища дому царева, и сынов залога, и возврати в Самарию.
And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 И поживе Амасиа сын Иоасов, царь Иудин, по умертвии Иоаса сына Иоахазова царя Израилева пятьнадесять лет.
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
26 Прочая же словеса Амасиина первая и последняя, не се ли, писана суть в книзе царей Иудиных и Израилевых?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 И во время егда Амасиа отступи от Господа, и нападоша на него нападением, и побеже из Иерусалима в Лахис. И послаша вслед его в Лахис, и убиша его ту.
Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
28 И взяша его на конех и погребоша его со отцы его во граде Давидове.
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
