Четвертая книга Царств 19
1 И бысть егда услыша царь Езекиа, и раздра ризы своя, и облечеся во вретище, и вниде в дом Господень.
And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 И посла Елиакима строителя, и Сомнаса книгочиа и старейшины жерцев облечены во вретище ко Исаии пророку сыну Амосову.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.
3 И реша ему: сице глаголет Езекиа: день скорби и обличения и прогневания день сей, яко приидоша сынове даже до болезнорождения, и крепости несть раждающей:
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 аще како послушает Господь Бог твой всех словес Рапсаковых, егоже и посла царь Ассирийский господин его поносити Богу живому и хулити словесы, ихже слыша Господь Бог твой, и приими молитву о останце обретающемся.
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии и ко Исаии.
And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 И рече им Исаиа: сице рцыте господину вашему: тако глаголет Господь: не убойся от лица словес, ихже слышал еси, имиже похулиша Мя отроцы царя Ассирийска:
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 се, Аз даю ему духа, и услышит возвещение и возвратится в землю и свою: и низложу его оружием в земли и его.
Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will make him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 И возвратися Рапсак и обрете и царя Ассирийска воююща на Ловну: услыша бо, яко отступи от Лахиса.
And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 И слыша о Фараке цари Ефиопстем, глаголя: се, изыде ратоватися с тобою. И возвратися и посла послы ко Езекии, глаголя: тако рцыте Езекии царю Иудейску:
And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he has come forth to make war with thee. And he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 да не возносит тя Бог твой, на негоже ты надеешися глаголя: не имать предан быти Иерусалим в руце и царя Ассирийска:
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 се, ты слышал еси вся, елика и сотвориша царие Ассирийстии всем землем, еже прокляти их, и ты ли избудеши?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Еда избавляюще избавиша их и бози языков, ихже расточиша отцы и мои, Гозану и Харану, и Фаресу и сыны Едомли, иже во Фалассаре?
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?
13 Где есть царь Емафов и царь и Арфадов? И где есть царь града Сепфаруима, Ана и Ава?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 И прият царь Езекиа книги от руки послов и прочте я: и вниде в храм Господень, и разгну их Езекиа пред Господем,
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 и молися Езекиа пред Господем и рече: Господи Боже Израилев, седяй на Херувимех, Ты еси и Бог един бо всех царствиих земли, Ты сотворил еси небо и землю:
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
16 приклони, Господи, ухо Твое и услыши мя: отверзи, Господи, очи Твои и виждь, и услыши словеса Сеннахирима, яже посла поношая Тебе Богу живу:
Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17 яко поистинне, Господи, опустошиша царие Ассирийстии языки,
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 и даша боги их на огнь, яко не бози беша, но дела руку человечу, древа и камения, и погубиша я:
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them.
19 и ныне, Господи Боже наш, спаси ны из руки его, и уразумеют вся царствия земли, яко Ты еси Господь Бог един.
And now, Jehovah our God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, thou only.
20 И посла Исаиа сын Амосов ко Езекии, глаголя: тако глаголет Господь Бог Сил, Бог Израилев: слышах, о нихже молился еси ко Мне, о Сеннахириме царе Ассирийсте.
And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
21 Сие слово, еже глагола Господь на него: уничижи тя и поругася тебе девица и дщи Сионя, над тобою главою своею покива дщи Иерусалимля:
This is the word that Jehovah has spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
22 кому поносил еси, и кого похулил еси? И на кого вознесл еси глас, и воздвигл еси на высоту очи твои? На Святаго Израилева.
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy one of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.
23 Рукою послов твоих поносил еси Господу, и рекл еси: со множеством колесниц моих взыду аз на вышнюю часть горы Ливанския, и усеку величество от кедр ея и избранныя кипарисов ея, и прииду в средину чащи Кармилския:
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots have I come up To the height of the mountain, to the recesses of Lebanon, And I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; And I will enter into its furthest lodging-place, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.
24 аз изсуших, и пиях воды чуждыя, и опустоших стопами ног моих вся реки окрестныя:
I have digged, and have drunk strange waters, And with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.
25 еда не слышал еси? Издавна ю сотворих, от дний первых создах ю и принесох ю: и бысть в холмы преселников воююших грады тверды:
Hast thou not heard long ago that I have done it? And that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
26 и живущии в них изнемогоша рукою, сотрясошася и постыдешася, быша (яко) трава селная, или злачно былие, злак иже на зданиих, и попрания противу стоящаго:
And their inhabitants were powerless, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were [as] the growing grass, and [as] the green herb, [As] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.
27 и седение твое, и исход твой, и вход твой разумех, и гнев твой на Мя,
But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me.
28 занеже разгневался еси на Мя и шум твой вниде во ушы Мои, и вложу удицу Мою в ноздри твоя и бразду во устне твои, и возвращу тя по пути, имже пришел еси.
Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, And I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.
29 И сие тебе знамение, (Езекие): яждь в сие лето прозябающая самородная, и в лето второе прозябающая, и в лето третие сейте семена и жните, садите винограды, и да ясте плод их:
And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: They shall eat this year such as groweth of itself, And in the second year that which springeth of the same; But in the third year sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.
30 и приложит спасшееся дому Иудова, оставшееся, корень доле, и сотворит плод горе,
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
31 яко из Иерусалима изыдет останок, и спасаемый из горы Сиони: ревность Господа Сил сотворит сие.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And out of mount Zion they that escape: The zeal of Jehovah [of hosts] shall do this.
32 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь (Сил) на царя Ассирийска: не имать внити во град сей, и не имать устрелити нам стрелы, и не достигнет к нему щит, и не имать осыпати его землею:
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor cast a bank against it.
33 но путем, имже прииде темже возвратится, и во град сей не имать внити, глаголет Господь,
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, And shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.
34 и защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и Давида ради раба Моего.
And I will defend this city, to save it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
35 И бысть в нощь ону, и сниде Ангел Господнь и уби от полка Ассирийскаго сто осмьдесят и пять тысящ. И восташа заутра, и се, вся трупия мертва.
And it came to pass that night, that an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.
36 И воста, и отиде, и возвратися Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и вселися в Ниневию.
And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.
37 И бысть ему кланяющуся во храме Месераха бога своего, и Адрамелех и Сарасар сынове его убиста его мечем: сами же бежаста в землю Араратску. И воцарися Асордан сын его вместо его.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer [his sons] smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
