Четвертая книга Царств 16
1 В лето седмоенадесять Факеа сына Ромелиина, воцарися Ахаз сын Иоафама царя Иудина:
When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost 17 years, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became the king of Judah.
2 сын двадесяти лет бе Ахаз, егда нача царствовати, и шестьнадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме, и не сотвори правое пред очима Господа Бога своего верно, якоже Давид отец его,
He was 20 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. He did not do things that pleased Yahweh his God, good things like his ancestor King David had done.
3 и ходи в пути Иеровоама сына Наватова царя Израилева, ксему и сына своего преведе сквозе огнь по мерзостем языков, ихже отят Господь от лица сынов Израилевых:
Instead, he was as sinful as the kings of Israel had been. He even sacrificed his son as an offering to idols. That was worse than the disgusting things that the people who previously lived there had done, people whom Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis were advancing through the land.
4 и жряше и кадяше на высоких и на холмех и под всяким древом частым.
Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense [to honor Yahweh] on the tops of many hills and under many [HYP] big trees, [instead of in Jerusalem as Yahweh had commanded].
5 Тогда взыде Раассон царь Сирск и Факей сын Ромелиин царь Израилев во Иерусалим на брань, и воеваста на Ахаза, и не можаста (ему) одолети.
While he was the king of Judah, King Rezin of Assyria and King Pekah of Israel [came with their armies] and attacked Jerusalem. They surrounded the city, but they could not conquer it.
6 Во время оно возврати Раассон царь Сирский Елаф Сирии и изгна Иудеев из Елафа, и Идумее приидоша во Елаф и вселишася тамо даже до дне сего.
At that time the [army of the] king of Edom expelled the people of Judah who were living in Elath [city]. Some of the people of Edom started to live there, and they are still living there.
7 И посла Ахаз послы к Фелгаффелласару царю Ассирийску, глаголя: раб твой и сын твой аз есмь, взыди и отими мя от руки царя Сирска и от руки царя Израилева, воставших на мя.
King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria, to tell this message to him: “I promise that I will completely do what you tell me to do, [as though] I [was] your son. Please come and rescue us from the armies of Syria and Israel who are attacking my country.”
8 И взя Ахаз злато и сребро обретшееся в сокровищих дому Господня и в сокровищих дому царева, и посла царю Ассирийску дары.
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the palace and in the temple and sent it to Assyria to be a present/gift for the king of Assyria.
9 И послуша его царь Ассирийский: и взыде царь Ассирийский в Дамаск, и взя его, и пресели его, и Раассона царя уби.
So Tiglath-Pileser did what Ahaz requested. His army marched to Damascus and captured it, and they took the people of Damascus as prisoners to live in the capital city of Assyria, and executed [King] Rezin.
10 И иде царь Ахаз на сретение Фелгаффелласару царю Ассирийску в Дамаск, и виде жертвенник в Дамасце: и посла царь Ахаз ко Урии иерею подобие жертвенника, и начертание, и все творение его.
When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet King Tiglath-Pileser, he saw the altar that was there. So he sent to Uriah, the Supreme Priest [in Jerusalem], a drawing of the altar and a model that was exactly like the altar in Damascus.
11 И созда Уриа иерей жертвенник по всем, елика посла царь Ахаз от Дамаска.
So Uriah built an altar [in Jerusalem], following the drawing that King Ahaz had sent. Uriah finished the altar before Ahaz returned [to Jerusalem] from Damascus.
12 И прииде царь Ахаз из Дамаска и виде жертвенник, и взыде на него,
When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went to it
13 и покади всесожжение свое и жертву свою и возлияние свое, и пролия кровь мирных на жертвенник,
and burned animal sacrifices and a grain offering on it. He also poured a wine offering on it and threw on it the blood of the offerings to maintain fellowship with God.
14 олтарь же медяный, иже пред Господем, принесе от лица дому Господня, и от среды жертвенника и от среды дому Господня: и постави его о едину страну жертвенника к северу.
The old bronze altar which had been dedicated long ago to Yahweh was between the new altar and the temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar, [which was bigger than the old altar].
15 И заповеда царь Ахаз Урии иерею, глаголя: на жертвеннице велицем приношаяй всесожжения утренняя, и жертву вечернюю, и всесожжения царева, и жертву его, и всесожжения всех людий, и жертву их, и возлияния их, и всяку кровь всесожжения, и всяку кровь жертвенную излиеши на нем: олтарь не медян да будет мне на утро.
Then King Ahaz ordered Uriah: “Each morning put on this new altar the sacrifices that will be completely burned, and in the evening put on it the grain offering, along with my offering and the offerings that the people bring, ones that will be completely burned, and my grain offering and the people’s grain and wine offerings. Pour against the sides of the altar the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But the old bronze altar will be only for me to use to find out what Yahweh wants me to do.”
16 И сотвори Уриа иерей по всем, елика заповеда ему царь Ахаз.
So Uriah did what the king commanded him to do.
17 И изсече Ахаз царь споения подставов, и пренесе от них умывалницу, и море низложи от волов медяных, иже беша под ним, и положи е на подставе каменнем:
King Ahaz told his workers to take off the frames of the carts [that were outside the temple] and to take down the basins that were on them. They also took down the bronze tank from the backs of the bronze [statues of the] oxen and put it on a stone foundation.
18 и основание седалища создано в дому Господни, и вход царев внешний обрати в дом Господень, от лица царя Ассирийска.
Then to please the king of Assyria, Ahaz had them remove from the temple the roof under which the people walked into the temple on the Sabbath Day, and closed up the private entrance into the temple for the kings of Judah.
19 И прочая словес Ахазовых, елика сотвори, не сия ли написана в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных:
[If you want to know about] the other things that Ahaz did, they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
20 и успе Ахаз со отцы своими, и погребен бысть со отцы своими во граде Давидове. И воцарися Езекиа сын его вместо его.
Ahaz died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Hezekiah became the king.
