Четвертая книга Царств 17
1 В лето второенадесять Ахаза царя Иудина, царствова Осиа сын Илы в Самарии над Израилем девять лет,
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, the reign of Hoshea son of Elah began. He ruled in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
2 и сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, обаче не якоже царие Израилевы, иже беша прежде его.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
3 И взыде нань Саламанассар царь Ассирийск. И бысть ему Осиа раб и даваше ему дань.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his servant and brought him tribute.
4 И обрете царь Ассирийск во Осии неправду, занеже посла послы к Сигору царю Египетску и не принесе дани царю Ассирийску лета того. И осади его царь Ассирийский и связа его в храмине темничней.
Then the king of Assyria realized that Hoshea had been plotting against him, for Hoshea had sent messengers to So king of Egypt; also, he offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. So the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
5 И прииде царь Ассирийск во всю землю (его), и взыде в Самарию, и воева ю три лета.
Then the king of Assyria attacked throughout all the land, and attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years.
6 В лето девятое Осии взя царь Ассирийский Самарию, и заведе Израилтян во Ассирию, и посели их на Алаи и на Аворе, реках Гозанских, и в пределех Мидских.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria. He put them in Halah, at the Habor River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 И (сие) бысть, яко согрешиша сынове Израилевы Господу Богу своему изведшему их из земли Египетския, из под руки фараона царя Египетска, и убояшася богов инех,
This captivity happened because the people of Israel had sinned against Yahweh their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. The people had been worshiping other gods
8 и ходиша по преданием языков, ихже истреби Господь от лица сынов Израилевых, и царие Израилевы елицы сотвориша,
and walking in the practices of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel, and in the practices of the kings of Israel that they had done.
9 и елицы сокрыша сынове Израилевы словеса, не тако на Господа Бога своего: и создаша себе высокая во всех градех своих, от столпа стрегущих даже до града тверда,
The people of Israel did secretly—against Yahweh their God—things that were not right. They built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchtower to the fortress.
10 и поставиша себе кумиры и Дубравы на всяцем холме высоце и под всяким древом чащным,
They also set up stone pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11 и кадяху тамо на всех высоких, якоже языцы, яже удали Господь от лица их, и сотвориша общники, и начаша яве прогневляти Господа,
There they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations had done, those whom Yahweh had carried away before them. The Israelites performed wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger;
12 и послужиша идолом, о нихже рече им Господь: не сотворите глагола сего Господеви.
they worshiped idols, about which Yahweh had said to them, “You will not do this thing.”
13 И засвидетелствова Господь во Израили и во Иуде, и руками всех пророк Своих всякаго прозорливаго, глаголя: обратитеся от путий ваших лукавых, и сохраните заповеди Моя и оправдания Моя, и весь закон, егоже заповедах отцем вашым, елика послах им руками раб Моих пророков.
Yet Yahweh had testified to Israel and to Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, and be careful to keep all the law I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”
14 И не послушаша, и ожесточиша выю свою паче выи отец своих, иже не вероваша Господу Богу своему:
But they would not listen; instead they were very stubborn like their fathers who did not trust in Yahweh their God.
15 и отвергоша завет Его и оправдания, яже завеща отцем их и свидений Его, елика засвидетелствова им, не сохраниша, и идоша вслед суетных и осуетишася, и вслед языков сущих окрест их, о нихже заповеда Господь их, еже не сотворити по сему:
They rejected his statutes and the covenant that he had made with their ancestors, and the covenant decrees that he had given to them. They followed useless practices and they themselves became useless. They followed the pagan nations who were around them, those that Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate.
16 и оставиша заповеди Господа Бога своего и сотвориша себе две юницы слиты, и сотвориша дубравы, и поклонишася всей силе небесней и послужиша Ваалу:
They ignored all the commandments of Yahweh their God. They made cast metal figures of two calves to worship. They made an Asherah pole, and they worshiped all the stars of the heavens and Baal.
17 и превождаху сыны своя и дщери своя чрез огнь, и волхвоваху волхвованием и вражаху: и продашася, еже творити лукавое пред очима Господнима, еже прогневати Его.
They made their sons and daughters pass through the fire, they used divination and enchantments, they sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to anger.
18 И разгневася Господь на Израиля зело и отрину их от лица Своего, и не остася, токмо едино колено Иудино.
Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. There was no one left but the tribe of Judah alone.
19 И Иуда такожде не сохрани заповедий Господа Бога своего: и хождаху по оправданием Израилевым, яже сотвориша, и отвергошася Господа.
Even Judah did not keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, and they followed the practices that Israel had done.
20 И разгневася Господь на все семя Израилево и поколеба я, и даде я в руки расхищающым я дондеже отверже я от лица Своего.
So Yahweh rejected all the descendants of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hand of those who would take the possession as spoil, until he had cast them out of his sight.
21 Яко отторжеся Израиль от дому Давидова, и поставиша себе царя Иеровоама сына Наватова: и отрину Иеровоам Израиля от Господа и введе их во грех великий.
He tore Israel from the royal line of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king. Jeroboam drove Israel away from following Yahweh and made them commit a great sin.
22 И хождаху сынове Израилевы по всему греху Иеровоамлю, егоже сотвори: не отступиша от него,
The people of Israel followed all the sins of Jeroboam and they did not depart from them,
23 дондеже отверже Господь Израиля от лица Своего, якоже глагола Господь рукою всех раб Своих пророков. И преселен бысть Израиль от земли своея во Ассирианы, даже до дне сего.
so Yahweh removed Israel from his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets that he would. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, and it is this way to this present day.
24 И приведе царь Ассирийский из Вавилона иже от Хуфы и от Аиа, и от Емафа и Сепфаруима, и вселени быша во градех Самарийских вместо сынов Израилевых, и наследиша Самарию и вселишася во градех ея.
The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon and from Kuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria in place of the people of Israel. They took over Samaria and lived in its cities.
25 И бысть в начале седения их, не убояшася Господа, и пусти на ня Господь львы, и бяху убивающе я.
It happened at the beginning of their residence there that they did not honor Yahweh. So Yahweh sent lions among them which killed some of them.
26 И реша царю Ассирийску, глаголюще: языки, ихже превел и пресадил еси во градех Самарийских, не разумеша суда Бога земли, и посла Господь на них львы, и се, суть убивающе их, яко не разумеша суда Бога земли.
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the practices required by the god of the land. So he has sent lions among them, and, see, the lions are killing people there because they do not know the practices required by the god of the land.”
27 И заповеда царь Ассирийский глаголя: отведите тамо единаго жерца от плененых, да идут и да вселятся тамо, и да просветит их судом Бога земли.
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Take one of the priests there whom you brought from there, and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the practices required by the god of the land.”
28 И отведоша единаго от жерцев ихже взяша от Самарии, и седе в Вефили, и бе просвещая жрец их, яко да убоятся Господа.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel; he taught them how they should honor Yahweh.
29 И беша творяще кийждо язык боги своя: и поставиша я во храмех на высоких, ихже сотвориша Самаряне, кийждо язык во градех своих, в нихже живяху.
Every ethnic group made gods of their own, and put them in the high places that the Samaritans had made—every ethnic group in the cities where they lived.
30 И мужие Вавилонстии сотвориша Сокхоф Вениф, и мужие Хуфовы сотвориша Гигель, и мужие Емафовы сотвориша Асимаф,
The people of Babylon made Succoth Benoth; the people of Kuthah made Nergal; the people of Hamath made Ashima;
31 и Евее сотвориша Авлазер и Фарфак и Сепфаруим, егда сожигаху сыны своя огнем Андрамелеху и Анемелеху, богом Сепфаруимским.
the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. The Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelek and Anammelek, the gods of the Sepharvites.
32 И бяху боящеся Господа: и вселиша мерзости своя во храмех на высоких, ихже сотвориша в Самарии, кийждо язык во граде, в немже живяху.
They also honored Yahweh, and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the temples at the high places.
33 И беша боящеся Господа и сотвориша себе жерцы в высоких, и сотвориша себе в храмине высоких и Господа бояхуся, и идолом своим служаху по обычаю языков отюнудуже преселиша их.
They honored Yahweh and also worshiped their own gods, in the customs of the nations from among whom they had been taken away.
34 Даже до дне сего тии творяху по обычаю их: не бояхуся Господа, и не творяху по оправданием их, и по суду их, и по закону, и по заповеди, юже заповеда Господь сыном Иаковлим, идеже и нарече имя ему Израиль.
To this day they persist in their old customs. They neither honor Yahweh, nor do they follow the statutes, decrees, the law, or the commandments that Yahweh gave to the people of Jacob—whom he named Israel—
35 И положи Господь с ними завет и заповеда им, глаголя: не убойтеся богов иных и не поклонитеся им, и не послужите им и не пожрите им:
and with whom Yahweh had made a covenant and commanded them, “You will not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
36 но токмо Господеви, иже изведе вы из земли Египта крепостию великою и мышцею высокою: Того убойтеся, и Тому поклонитеся, и Тому пожрите:
But Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and a raised arm, is the one you must honor; it is to him that you will prostrate yourselves, and it is to him that you will sacrifice.
37 и оправдания Его, и суды Его, и закон Его, и заповеди, яже написа вам творити, храните во вся дни, и не убойтеся богов иных:
The statutes and the decrees, the law and the commandments that he wrote for you, you will keep them forever. So you must not fear other gods,
38 и завета, егоже завеща с вами, не забывайте: и не убойтеся богов иных,
and the covenant that I have made with you, you will not forget; neither will you honor other gods.
39 но токмо Господа и вашего убойтеся, и Той измет вы от всех враг ваших.
But Yahweh your God is who you will honor. He will rescue you from the might of your enemies.”
40 И не послушаша сего, но по обычаем своим преждним твориша.
They would not listen, because they continued to do what they had done in the past.
41 И бяху языцы сии боящеся Господа, и изваянным своим служаще: такожде и сынове их и сынове сынов их, якоже сотвориша отцы их, тако творят и до сего дне.
So these nations feared Yahweh and they also worshiped their carved figures, and their children did the same—as did their children's children. They continue to do what their ancestors did, up to this day.
