Четвертая книга Царств 13
1 В лето двадесять третие Иоаса сына Охозиина царя Иудина царствова Иоахаз сын Ииуев над Израилем в Самарии седмьнадесять лет,
Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, became king of Israel in the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for seventeen years.
2 и сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, и иде вслед грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже в грех введе Израиля и не остася злобы тоя.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat, had made Israel commit; he did not end them.
3 И разгневася Господь гневом на Израиля, и вдаде их в руце Азаилу царю Сирску и в руце сына Адера, сына Азаилева, во вся дни.
So the Lord was angry with Israel, and he repeatedly allowed them to be defeated by Hazael, king of Aram, and his son Ben-hadad.
4 И помолися Иоахаз лицу Господню, и услыша его Господь, яко виде скорбь Израилеву, понеже оскорби их царь Сирский.
Jehoahaz asked the Lord for help, and the Lord responded to his request because he saw how badly the king of Aram was treating Israel.
5 И даде Господь спасение Израилю, и избыша от руку Сирску: и вселишася и сынове Израилевы в селения своя якоже и вчера и третияго дне:
The Lord gave Israel someone who would save them so they no longer were under Aramean rule. Then the Israelites were able to go back to living in safety as before.
6 обаче не отступиша от грехов дому Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже и в грех введе Израиля, в нем ходяху: и дубрава стояше в Самарии.
Even so they did not end the sins that the house of Jeroboam had made Israel commit—they continued to follow them. The Asherah idol still stood in Samaria.
7 Яко не осташася Иоахазу людие, но токмо пятьдесят конник, и десять колесниц, и десять тысящ пешцев, яко изгубил их царь Сирский, и положи я яко прах на попрание.
All that was left of Jehoahaz's army were fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest, turning them into dust like that when grain is threshed.
8 И прочая словес Иоахазовых, и вся елика сотвори, и силы его, не сия ли писана в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
The rest of what happened in Jehoahaz's reign, all he did, and his great achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
9 И успе Иоахаз со отцы своими, и погребоша его в Самарии: и воцарися Иоас сын его вместо его.
Jehoahaz died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoash succeeded him as king.
10 В лето тридесять седмое Иоаса царя Иудина царствова Иоас сын Иоахазов над Израилем в Самарии шестьнадесять лет,
Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Joash of Judah, and he reigned for sixteen years.
11 и сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима: и отступи от всех грехов Иеровоама сына Наватова, иже в грех введе Израиля, в том хождаше.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he continued to follow them.
12 И прочая словес Иоасовых и вся елика сотвори, и силы его, яже сотвори со Амессием царем Иудиным, не сия ли писана в книзе словес дний царей Израилевых?
The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements such as his war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
13 И успе Иоас со отцы своими, Иеровоам же седе на престоле его: и погребен бысть Иоас в Самарии с царми Израилевыми.
Jehoash died, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 И Елиссей разболеся болезнию своею, от неяже умре. И прииде к нему Иоас царь Израилев, и плакася над лицем его, и рече: отче, отче, колесница Израилева и кони его.
Elisha had become ill with a disease that would eventually kill him. Jehoash, king of Israel, went to visit him, and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and the horsemen of Israel!”
15 И рече ему Елиссей возми лук и стрелы. И взя к себе лук и стрелы.
Elisha told him, “Find a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash found a bow and some arrows.
16 И рече царю: возложи руку свою на лук. И возложи Иоас руку свою на лук, и Елиссей возложи руки своя на руки царевы,
Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Pick up the bow.” So the king picked up the bow. Elisha placed his hands on the king's hands.
17 и рече: отверзи окно еже на восток. И отверзе. И рече Елиссей: стрели. И стрели (царь). И рече Елиссей: стрела спасения Господня и стрела спасения на Сирию, и победиши Сирию во Афеке даже до скончания.
“Open the east window,” he told him. So the king opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he fired an arrow. Then Elisha explained, “This is the Lord's victory arrow representing the arrow of victory over the Arameans. You will attack the Arameans in Aphek and finish them off.”
18 И рече ему Елиссей: возми лук. И взя. И рече царю Израилеву: удари на землю. И удари царь трижды, и ста.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the arrows!” So he picked them up. Elisha told the king of Israel, “Hit the ground with them!” He hit the ground three times, and then stopped.
19 И оскорбе человек Божий о нем и рече: аще бы ударил еси пятищи или шестищи, тогда бы еси поразил Сирию до скончания, ныне же победиши Сирию трижды.
The man of God got angry with him, telling him, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked the Arameans until you had completely destroyed them. But now you will only attack the Arameans three times.”
20 И умре Елиссей, и погребоша его. Воини же Моавли приидоша в землю наставающу лету тому.
Elisha died and was buried. Raiders from the country of Moab used to invade Israel every spring.
21 И бысть им погребающим мужа, и се, видеша воинов, и повергоша мужа во гробе Елиссеове: (и впаде тело человека мертва, ) и прикоснуся костем Елиссеовым, и оживе и воста на ноги своя.
On time some Israelites were burying a man when suddenly they saw some raiders coming, so they quickly threw the man into Elisha's tomb. As soon as he touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up.
22 Азаил же оскорбляше Израиля во вся дни Иоахазовы.
Hazael, king of Aram, caused problems for Israel through all Jehoahaz's reign.
23 И помилова и Господь, и ущедри я, и призре на ня завета ради Своего, иже со Авраамом и Исааком и Иаковом, и не восхоте Господь потребити их, ниже отверже их от лица Своего.
But the Lord graciously helped them and was kind to them. He looked after them because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Even to this day he's been unwilling to destroy them or to throw them out of his presence.
24 И умре Азаил царь Сирский, и воцарися Адер сын его вместо его.
When Hazael, king of Aram, died, his son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king.
25 И возвратися Иоас сын Иоахазов, и взя грады от руки Адера сына Азаилева, ихже взя от руку Иоахаза отца его в брани: трижды победи его Иоас, и возврати грады Израилевы.
Then Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, recovered from Ben-hadad son of Hazael, the towns that Hazael had captured from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recaptured the Israelite towns.
