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 when king Ezechias heard these words, he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
2 И посла Елиакима строителя, и Сомнаса книгочиа и старейшины жерцев облечены во вретище ко Исаии пророку сыну Амосову.
And he sent Eliacim, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and the ancients of the priests covered with sackcloths, to Isaias the prophet the son of Amos,
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 saith Ezechias: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: the children are come to the birth, and the woman in travail hath not strength.
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 the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and to reprove with words, which the Lord thy God hath heard: and do thou offer prayer for the remnants that are found.
5 И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии и ко Исаии.
So the servants of king Ezechias came to Isaias.
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 Isaias said to them: Thus shall you say to your master: Thus saith the Lord: Be not afraid for the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of the Assyrians 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 send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return into his own country, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own country.
8 И возвратися Рапсак и обрете и царя Ассирийска воююща на Ловну: услыша бо, яко отступи от Лахиса.
And Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachis.
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 when he heard of Theraca king of Ethiopia: Behold, he is come out to fight with thee: and was going against him, he sent messengers to Ezechias, 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 you say to Ezechias king of Juda: Let not thy God deceive thee, in whom thou trustest: and do not say: Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
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 the Assyrians have done to all countries, how they have laid them waste: and canst thou alone 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 delivered any of them, whom my fathers have destroyed, to wit, Gozan, and Haran, and Reseph, 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 Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana and of Ava?
14 И прият царь Езекиа книги от руки послов и прочте я: и вниде в храм Господень, и разгну их Езекиа пред Господем,
And when Ezechias had received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord,
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 he prayed in his sight, saying: O Lord God of Israel, who sitteth upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: thou madest heaven and 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 thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to upbraid unto us the living God.
17 яко поистинне, Господи, опустошиша царие Ассирийстии языки,
Of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have destroyed nations, and the lands of them all.
18 и даша боги их на огнь, яко не бози беша, но дела руку человечу, древа и камения, и погубиша я:
And they have cast their gods into the fire: for they were not Rods, but the works of men’s hands of wood and stone, and 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.
Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that thou art the Lord the only God.
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 Isaias the son of Amos sent to Ezechias, saying: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I have heard the prayer thou hast made to me concerning Sennacherib king of the Assyrians.
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 the Lord hath spoken of him: The virgin the daughter of Sion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn: the daughter of Jerusalem hath wagged her head behind thy back.
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 whom hast thou blasphemed? against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the holy one of Israel.
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 the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus, and have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees. And I have entered into the furthest parts thereof, and the forest of its Carmel.
24 аз изсуших, и пиях воды чуждыя, и опустоших стопами ног моих вся реки окрестныя:
I have cut down, and I have drunk strange waters, and have dried up with the soles of my feet all the shut up waters.
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 what I have done from the beginning? from the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruin:
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 the inhabitants of them, were weak of hand, they trembled and were confounded, they became like the grass of the field, and the green herb on the tops of houses, which withered before it came to maturity.
27 и седение твое, и исход твой, и вход твой разумех, и гнев твой на Мя,
Thy dwelling and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy way I knew before, and thy rage 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.
Thou hast been mad against me, and thy pride hath come up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee 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 to thee, O Ezechias, this shall be a sign: Eat this year what thou shalt find: and in the second year, such things as spring of themselves: but in the third year sow and reap: plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
30 и приложит спасшееся дому Иудова, оставшееся, корень доле, и сотворит плод горе,
And whatsoever shall be left of the house of Juda, shall 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 that which shall be saved out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord 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:
Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it.
33 но путем, имже прииде темже возвратится, и во град сей не имать внити, глаголет Господь,
By the way that he came, he shall return: and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord.
34 и защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и Давида ради раба Моего.
And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for David my servant’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 the Lord came, and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he arose early in the morning, he saw all the bodies of the dead.
36 И воста, и отиде, и возвратися Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и вселися в Ниневию.
And Sennacherib king of the Assyrians departing went away, and he returned and abode in Ninive.
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 as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch his god, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons slew him with the sword, and they fled into the land of the Armenians, and Asarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
