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 clothes, 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 Elyakim, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet 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 unto him, Thus hath said Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and of rebuke, and derision is this day; 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.
Perhaps the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God; and who hath reproached with the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up a prayer in behalf of the remnant that is still found here.
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 unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus hath said the Lord, Be not afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, with which the boys 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 an [other] spirit in him, that when he will hear a rumor, he shall return to his own land; and I will cause 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 Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was 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 it said of Thirhakah the king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight with thee; and he again sent messengers unto 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 say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, as followeth, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given up 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 thyself hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, by destroying them utterly: and thou alone shouldst 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 destroyed delivered them; as Gozan, and Charan, and Rezeph, and the children of 'Eden, who 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 Chamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvayim, 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 took the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and read them: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread them out 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 Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said, O Lord God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the [true] God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; for it is thou who 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:
Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear! open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see! and hear the words of Sennacherib, that which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
17 яко поистинне, Господи, опустошиша царие Ассирийстии языки,
Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their land,
18 и даша боги их на огнь, яко не бози беша, но дела руку человечу, древа и камения, и погубиша я:
And they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man's hands, wood and stone: and these have they destroyed.
19 и ныне, Господи Боже наш, спаси ны из руки его, и уразумеют вся царствия земли, яко Ты еси Господь Бог един.
And now, O Lord our God, save us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God, thou alone.
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.
Then sent Isaiah the son of Amoz to Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, What thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria have I 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 the Lord hath spoken over him: She despiseth thee, she laugheth thee to scorn, the virgin daughter of Zion; behind thee shaketh her head the daughter of Jerusalem.
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 blasphemed, and [whom] hast thou scorned? and against whom hast thou raised 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 thy messengers thou hast blasphemed the Lord and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I indeed come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its fir-trees: and I will enter into the lodgings on its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil.
24 аз изсуших, и пиях воды чуждыя, и опустоших стопами ног моих вся реки окрестныя:
I have dug and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places.
25 еда не слышал еси? Издавна ю сотворих, от дний первых создах ю и принесох ю: и бысть в холмы преселников воююших грады тверды:
Hadst thou not heard that in distant ages I had prepared this? in the times of antiquity when I formed it? now have I brought it along, and it came to pass, to desolate into ruinous heaps fortified cities.
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 thus their inhabitants were short of power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the herbs of the field, and as the green grass; as the moss on the housetops, and as corn blasted before the ear appeareth.
27 и седение твое, и исход твой, и вход твой разумех, и гнев твой на Мя,
But thy abiding and thy going out and thy coming in do I know, 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 of thy raging against me and thy tumult that is come up into my ears, will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle between thy lips; and I will cause thee to turn back on 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 unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth up after the same; and in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
30 и приложит спасшееся дому Иудова, оставшееся, корень доле, и сотворит плод горе,
And the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet again strike 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 escapeth out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will 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 hath said the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow thereon, nor come before it with shield, nor cast up against it an embankment.
33 но путем, имже прииде темже возвратится, и во град сей не имать внити, глаголет Господь,
On the way by which he came, by the same shall he return, and into this city shall he not come, saith the Lord.
34 и защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и Давида ради раба Моего.
And I will shield this city, to save it, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
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, on the same night, that an angel of the Lord went out and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred eighty and five thousand men: and when people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 И воста, и отиде, и возвратися Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский, и вселися в Ниневию.
And Sennacherib the king of Assyria then departed, and went and returned, and dwelt 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 prostrating himself 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 Essar-chaddon his son became king in his stead.
