Четвертая книга Царств 23
1 И возвестиша сия глаголы цареви: и посла царь, и собра к себе вся старейшины Иудины и Иерусалимляны,
And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
2 и вниде царь в дом Господень, и вси мужие Иудины и вси живущии во Иерусалиме с ним, и жерцы, и пророцы, и вси людие от мала и до велика, и прочте во ушеса их вся словеса книги завета обретшияся в дому Господни:
And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
3 и ста царь у столпа и завеща завет пред Господем, еже ходити вслед Господа и хранити заповеди Его и свидения Его и оправдания Его всем сердцем и всею душею, еже возставити словеса завета сего, яже писана в книзе сей. И сташа вси людие в завете.
And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
4 И заповеда царь Хелкии жерцу великому и жерцем вторым и стрегущым врат изнести от храма Господня вся сосуды сотвореныя Ваалу и Дубраве и всей силе небесней, и сожже и вне Иерусалима в Садимофе Кедрсте и изверже прах их в Вефиль:
And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
5 и сожже хомаримы, ихже даша царие Иудины, и кадяху в высоких и во градех Иудиных и во окрестных Иерусалима, и кадящих Ваалу, и солнцу, и луне, и планетам и всей силе небесней:
And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
6 и изнесе кумир из храма Господня вне Иерусалима на поток Кедрск, и сожже его в потоце Кедрсте, и истни в прах, и вверже прах их в гробы сынов людских:
And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
7 и разруши храм кадисимов, иже бе в храме Господни, идеже жены прядяху ризы кумиру:
He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
8 и возведе вся жерцы от градов Иудиных, и оскверни высокая, идеже кадяху жерцы, от Гаваи да Вирсавеи: и разруши храм врат, иже бе при дверех врат Иисуса князя граднаго, иже ошуюю входящым дверми града.
And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
9 Обаче не вхождаху жерцы высоких ко олтарю Господню во Иерусалиме, но токмо ядяху опресноки посреде братии своея.
However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 И оскверни Тафефа, иже в дебри сынов Еномлих, еже не превести мужу сына своего и мужу дщере своея Молоху сквозе огнь:
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
11 и сожже кони, ихже даша царие Иудины солнцу во входе храму Господня, при влагалищи Нафана, царева скопца во Фаруриме: и колесницу солнечную сожже огнем:
And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 и олтари, яже на крове горницы Ахазовы, яже сотвориша царие Иудины и олтари, иже созда Манассиа во двою двору храма Господня, раскопа царь, и сверже оттуду, и всыпа прах их в поток Кедрск:
And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
13 и храм, иже пред лицем Иерусалима, одесную горы Мосфаф, егоже созда Соломон царь Израилев Астарте мерзости Сидонстей и Хамосу мерзости Моавли и Молхолу мерзости сынов Аммоних, оскверни царь:
The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
14 и сокруши столпы, и искорени дубравы, и наполни места их костми человеческими:
And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
15 и олтарь иже во Вефили высокий, егоже сотвори Иеровоам сын Наватов, иже в грех введе Израиля, и олтарь той высокий раскопа, и сокруши камение его, и истни в прах, и сожже кумиры.
Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
16 И восклонися Иосиа, и виде гробы сущыя во граде тамо, и посла, и взя кости от гроб, и сожже на олтари, и оскверни его по глаголу Господню, егоже глагола человек Божий, егда стояше Иеровоам в праздник пред олтарем: и обращься возведе очи свои на гроб человека Божия глаголавшаго словеса сия.
And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
17 И рече: что могила сия, юже аз вижду? И реша ему мужие града: гроб сей человека Божия есть, иже прииде от Иуды и проглагола словеса сия, яже сотворил еси ныне над олтарем, иже в Вефили.
And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
18 И рече: оставите его, да не подвижет ни един муж костей его. И оставиша кости его с костьми пророка пришедшаго от Самарии.
And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 Еще и вся храмы высоких сущих во градех Самарийских, яже сотвориша царие Израилевы прогневляюще Господа, отверже Иосиа, и сотвори им вся дела, яже сотвори в Вефили,
Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 и закла вся жерцы высоких сущыя тамо пред олтарми, и сожже на них кости человечи, и возвратися во Иерусалим.
And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
21 И заповеда царь всем людем, глаголя: сотворите пасху Господеви Богу нашему, якоже писано в книзе завета сего:
And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 яко не бысть пасха сия от дний судий, иже судиша Израилеви, и во всех днех царей Израилевых и царей Иудиных:
Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
23 но токмо во осмоенадесять лето царя Иосии бысть пасха Господу во Иерусалиме.
As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
24 Еще и волшебники, и вражбиты, и ферафимы, и кумиры, и вся мерзости бывшыя в земли Иудине и во Иерусалиме, искорени царь Иосиа, да утвердит словеса законная писанная в книзе, юже обрете Хелкиа жрец в храме Господни.
Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
25 Подобен ему не бысть пред ним царь, иже обратися к Господеви всем сердцем своим и всею душею своею и всею силою своею по всему закону Моисеову, и по нем не воста подобен ему.
There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
26 Обаче не отвратися Господь от ярости гнева Своего великаго, имже возярися гневом на Иуду, на прогневания, имиже прогнева Его Манассиа,
But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
27 и рече Господь: еще и Иуду отрину от лица Моего, якоже отринух Израиля, и град сей отвергу, егоже избрах, Иерусалима, и храм, о немже рех: будет имя Мое ту.
And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
28 И прочая словес Иосиевых, и вся елика сотвори, не сия ли написана в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных?
Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
29 Во днех же его взыде фараон Нехао царь Египетск на царя Ассирийска на реку Евфрат: и изыде царь Иосиа на сретение ему, и уби его Нехао царь в Магеддоне, егда его узре.
In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
30 И взяша его отроцы его мертва из Магеддона и принесоша его во Иерусалим, и погребоша его во гробе его во граде Давидове. И пояша людие земли тоя Иоахаза сына Иосиина и помазаша его, и воцариша его вместо отца его.
And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31 Сын двадесяти и триех лет бе Иоахаз, внегда нача царствовати и три месяцы царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Амитала, дщи Иеремии из Ловны.
Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
32 И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 И пресели его фараон Нехао в Ревлаам в землю Емаф, да не царствует во Иерусалиме, и возложи дань на землю ту сто талант сребра и сто талант злата.
And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 И постави царем фараон Нехао над ними Елиакима, сына Иосии царя Иудина, вместо Иосии отца его, и премени имя ему Иоаким: Иоахаза же взя и введе во Египет и умре тамо.
And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
35 И сребро и злато даде Иоаким фараону, обаче написа землю даяти сребро по словеси фараоню: муж по оценению своему даяше сребро и злато от людий земли тоя даяти фараону Нехао.
And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
36 Сын бе двадесяти и пяти лет Иоаким, егда нача царствовати, и единонадесять лет царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Иелдаф, дщи Фадаиля, от Румы.
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
37 И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
