Четвертая книга Царств 10
1 И Ахааву беша седмьдесят сынове во Самарии. И написа писание Ииуй и посла в Самарию ко князем Самарийским и к старейшинам и ко кормителем сынов Ахаавлих, глаголя:
And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab’s children, saying:
2 и ныне егда приидет писание сие к вам, и с вами сынове господина вашего, и с вами колесницы и кони, и грады тверды и оружия:
As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour,
3 и узрите благаго и праваго в сынех господина вашего, и поставите его на престоле отца его, и да воюете о доме господина вашего.
Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for the house of your master.
4 И убояшася зело и реша: се, два царя не возмогоста стати противу лицу его, и како мы станем?
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist?
5 И послаша иже над домом и иже над градом, и старейшины, и кормителе ко Ииую, глаголголюще: отроцы мы твои, и елика аще речеши к нам, сотворим: не воцарим мужа, благое пред очима твоима сотворим.
Therefore the overseers of the house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the tutors sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants, whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do, neither will we make us a king: do thou all that pleaseth thee.
6 И написа к ним Ииуй писание второе, глаголя: аще вы мои и гласа моего вы послушаете, возмите главы мужей сынов господина вашего и принесите ко мне, якоже час утро, во Иезраель. И бе сынов царевых седмьдесят мужей, сии началницы града вскормиша их.
And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.
7 И бысть егда прииде к ним писание, и взяша сыны царевы и заклаша их седмьдесят мужей, и возложиша главы их в кошницы и послаша их к нему во Иезраель.
And when the letters came to them, they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel.
8 И прииде вестник, и возвести ему, глаголя: принесоша главы сынов царевых. И рече: положите я в два холма при вратех града до заутра.
And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning.
9 И бысть заутра, и изыде и ста во вратех града, и рече ко всем людем: праведни вы: се, аз есмь, обратихся на господина моего и убих его: и кто порази всех сих?
And when it was light, he went out, and standing said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him, who hath slain all these?
10 Видите убо, яко не падет от глагола Господня на землю, егоже глагола Господь на дом Ахаавль: и Господь сотвори, елика глагола рукою раба Своего Илии.
See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias.
11 И изби Ииуй всех оставшихся в дому Ахаавли во Иезраели, и вся вельможы его, и знаемыя его, и жерцы его, яко не остатися его останку.
So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him.
12 И воста и иде в Самарию сам, в Вефакад пастырский при пути.
And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds’ cabin in the way,
13 И Ииуй обрете братию Охозии царя Иудина и рече: кто вы? И реша: братия Охозиины мы, и снидохом поздравити сыны царевы и сыны обладающия.
He met with the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
14 И рече: поимите я живы. И взяша их живых, и заклаша их в Вефакаде, четыредесять два мужа: и не остави мужа от них.
And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them.
15 И иде оттуду, и обрете Ионадава сына Рихавля на пути во сретение себе, и благослови его. И рече к нему Ииуй: аще есть сердце твое с сердцем моим право, якоже сердце мое с сердцем твоим? И рече Ионадав: есть. И рече Ииуй: и аще есть, даждь руку твою. И даде руку свою. И возведе его к себе на колесницу
And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot,
16 и рече к нему: гряди со мною и виждь, внегда ревновати мне по Господе саваофе. И посади его на колесницу свою.
And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot,
17 И вниде в Самарию, и изби всех оставшихся Ахаавлих в Самарии, дондеже истребити ему по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола ко Илии.
And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elias.
18 И собра Ииуй вся люди и рече к ним: Ахаав поработа Ваалу мало, Ииуй же поработает ему много:
And Jehu gathered together all the people, and said to them: Achab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him more.
19 и ныне вся пророки Вааловы, вся рабы его и жерцы его призовите ко мне, муж да не потаится, яко жертва велика Ваалу: и всяк иже потаится, не будет жив. И Ииуй сотвори лестию, да погубит рабы Вааловы.
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 И рече Ииуй: освятите жертву Ваалу и служение. И проповедаша.
And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called,
21 И посла Ииуй во весь Израиль и рече, глаголя: и ныне вси раби Вааловы, и вси жерцы его, и вси пророцы его, да никтоже останется, яко жертву велику творю: иже останется, не будет жив и приидоша вси раби Вааловы, и вси жерцы его, и вси пророцы его: не остася муж, иже не прииде: и внидоша во храм Ваалов, и наполнися храм Ваалов от края да края.
And he sent into all the borders of Israel, and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other.
22 И рече Ииуй к сущым над домом одежд: изнесите одежды всем рабом Вааловым. И изнесе им ризохранитель.
And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments.
23 И вниде Ииуй и Ионадав сын Рихавль в храмину Ваалову и рече рабом Вааловым: испытайте и видите, аще есть с вами от рабов Господних, и вышлите всех рабов Господних обретшихся тамо. И бысть якоже глагола Ииуй, яко не бе от рабов Господних, но токмо едини раби Вааловы.
And Jehu and Jonadab the son of Rechab went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only.
24 И вниде сотворити жертвы и всесожжения и Ииуй постави себе вне осмьдесят мужей и рече: муж иже аще угонзет от мужей, ихже аз извожду в руки вашя, душа его вместо души его.
And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go shall answer life for life.
25 И бысть егда сконча творяй всесожжения, и рече Ииуй предтекущым и тристатом: вшедше избийте их, да не изыдет от них муж. И избиша их острием меча и повергоша предтекущии и тристаты, и идоша даже до града храма Ваалова:
And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them, let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal,
26 и изнесоша кумир Ваалов и сожгоша его:
And brought the statue out of Baal’s temple, and burnt it,
27 и разбиша кумиры Вааловы, и низвергоша дом Ваалов, и определиша его на афедрон даже до дне сего.
And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal, and made a jakes in its place unto this day.
28 И погуби Ииуй храм Ваалов от Израиля.
So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel:
29 Обаче от грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже введе в грех Израиля, не отступи Ииуй от последования их: юницы златыя, яже в Вефили и в Дане.
But yet he departed not from the sills of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan.
30 И рече Господь ко Ииую: за сия, елика ублажил еси сотворити правое пред очима Моима, и вся елика по сердцу Моему сотворил еси дому Ахаавлю, сынове твои до четвертаго рода сядут на престоле во Израили.
And the Lord said to Jehu: Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right and pleasing in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Achab according to all that was in my heart: thy children shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth Generation.
31 И Ииуй не сохрани ходити в законе Господни всем сердцем своим: не отступи от грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже в грех введе Израиля.
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin.
32 Во дни оны нача Господь посецати во Израили: и порази их Азаил во всех пределех Израилевых,
In those days the Lord began to he weary of Israel: and Hazael ravaged them in all the coasts of Israel,
33 от Иордана на восток солнца, всю землю Галаадску и Гаддииску, и Рувимову и Манассиину, от Ароира, иже есть при устии потока Арнонска, и Галаад и Васан.
From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Galaad, and Gad, and Ruben, and Manasses, from Aroer, which is upon the torrent Amen, and Galaad, and Basan.
34 И прочая словес Ииуевых, и вся яже сотвори, и вся сила его, и совещания, яже совеща, не се ли, сия написана в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
35 И успе Ииуй со отцы своими, и погребоша его в Самарии. И воцарися Иоахаз сын его вместо его.
And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
36 И дний бяше, в няже Ииуй царствова над Израилем в Самарии, двадесять осмь лет.
And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years.
