Вторая книга Паралипоменон 32
1 И по словесех сих и по истине сей, прииде Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и прииде на Иудею, и ополчися на грады крепкия хотя взяти их.
After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take them.
2 И виде Езекиа, яко прииде Сеннахирим, и лице его воевати на Иерусалим:
And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,
3 и советова со старейшины своими и с сильными, да заключат воды источников, иже беша вне града: и соизволиша ему.
He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,
4 И собра много людий, и заключи воды источников и поток текущь посреде града, глаголя: да не приидет царь Ассирийский, и обрящет вод много, и укрепится.
He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of water.
5 И укрепися Езекиа, и созда вся стены, яже быша разсыпаны, и столпы, и отвне предстение ино, и укрепи разрушенная града Давидова, и уготова оружия многа:
He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:
6 и постави началники бранем над людьми, и собрашася к нему на площадь врат дебри, и глагола в сердца их глаголя:
And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying:
7 укрепитеся и мужайтеся и не устрашайтеся, ниже ужасайтеся от лица царя Ассирийска и от лица всего множества, еже с ним: яко множайшии с нами суть неже с ним:
Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many more with us than with him.
8 с ним мышца плотская, с нами же Господь Бог наш, еже спасати и поборати на брани нашей. И укрепишася людие словесы Езекии царя Иудина.
For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.
9 И по сих посла Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский рабы своя во Иерусалим, сам же со всеми вои своими обстояше Лахис, и посла ко Езекии царю Иудину и ко всему Иуде, иже во Иерусалиме, глаголя:
After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis, ) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:
10 сия глаголет Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский: на что вы уповаете и седите во обстоянии во Иерусалиме?
Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?
11 Ни ли Езекиа прельщает вас, да предаст вы в смерть и в глад и жажду, глаголя: Господь Бог наш спасет нас от руки царя Ассирийска?
Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
12 Не сей ли есть Езекиа, иже разори олтари Его и вышняя Его, и повеле Иуде и живущым во Иерусалиме, глаголя: олтарем пред олтарем сим покланяйтеся и в нем кадите фимиам?
Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?
13 Или не весте сего, что аз сотворих и отцы мои всем людем земли? Еда могуще возмогоша бози языков всея земли избавити люди своя от руки моея?
Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?
14 Кто во всех бозех языков сих, ихже искорениша отцы мои? Еда возмогоша избавити люди своя от руки моея, и како может Бог ваш избавити вас от руки моея?
Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?
15 Ныне убо да не прельщает вас Езекиа и да не творит вас уповати по сему, и не веруйте ему: аще бо ни един бог всякаго языка и царства возможе избавити люди своя от руки моея и от руку отец моих, то ниже Бог ваш возможет избавити вас от руки моея.
Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.
16 И ина (многа) глаголаша раби его противу Господа Бога и противу Езекии раба Его.
And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.
17 И послания написа поношая Господа Бога Израилева, и рече Нань, глаголя: якоже бози язык земли не могоша избавити людий своих от руки моея, тако ниже Бог Езекиин избавит люди Своя от руки моея.
He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.
18 И возопи воплем великим языком Иудейским к людем, иже седяху на стенах Иерусалимлих, да устрашит их и ужасит, и возмет град:
Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.
19 и глагола на Бога Иерусалимля, якоже и на богов людий земли, дела рук человеческих.
And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
20 И помолися Езекиа царь и Исаиа сын Амосов пророк о сих, и возопиша на небо.
And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.
21 И посла Господь Ангела, и порази всех мужей храбрых и бранников, и началников и воевод в полцех царя Ассирийска: и возврати лице его со стыдом на землю его, и прииде в дом бога своего, и сынове его изшедшии из чрева его погубиша его мечем.
And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword.
22 И спасе Господь Езекию и обитающих во Иерусалиме от руки Сеннахирима царя Ассирийска и от руку всех, и подаде им покой окрест.
And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.
23 И мнози приношаху дары Господу во Иерусалим и даяния Езекии царю Иудину, и возвышен бысть пред очесы всех языков по сих.
Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations.
24 Во днех оных разболеся Езекиа даже до смерти и помолися ко Господу: и услыша его и даде ему знамение.
In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign.
25 И не по воздаянию, еже даде ему, воздаде Езекиа, но вознесеся сердце его, и бысть на него гнев и на Иуду и на Иерусалим.
But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem.
26 И смирися Езекиа от высоты сердца своего сам и живущии во Иерусалиме, и не прииде на них гнев Господень во дни Езекиины.
And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.
27 И бысть Езекиеви богатство и слава многа зело: и сокровища себе собра сребра и злата и камения честнаго, и ароматы, и оружия хранилницы, и сосуды драгоценны,
And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.
28 и житницы жит, пшеницы и вина и елеа, и села, и ясли всякому скоту, и ограды стадом,
Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.
29 и грады, яже созда себе, и строения овцам и волом множество: зане даде ему Господь собрания многа зело.
And he built himself cities: for he had flocks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.
30 Той Езекиа загради исход воды Геона вышняго и проведе ю в низ к полудню града Давидова. И преуспе Езекиа во всех делех своих.
This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.
31 И тако послом князей от Вавилона, иже послани бяху к нему, да вопросят его о чудеси, еже случися на земли, остави его Господь, да искусит его уведати, яже в сердцы его.
But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart.
32 Прочая же словес Езекииных, и щедроты его, се, писана суть в пророчестве Исаии пророка сына Амосова и в книзе царей Иудиных и Израилевых.
Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
33 И успе Езекиа со отцы своими, и погребоша его на восходех гробов сынов Давидовых: и славу и честь даша ему в смерти его весь Иуда и живущии во Иерусалиме. И воцарися Манассиа сын его вместо его.
And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
