Четвертая книга Царств 23
1 И возвестиша сия глаголы цареви: и посла царь, и собра к себе вся старейшины Иудины и Иерусалимляны,
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
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 into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great: and he read before their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which had been 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 stand, and he made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his statutes with all [their] heart and all [their] soul, to maintain the words of this covenant that are written in this book. And all the people entered into 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 Chilkiyahu the high-priest, and the priests of the second order, and the door-keepers, to carry forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Ba'al, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven: and they burnt them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried their ashes unto Beth-el.
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 put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had appointed that they might burn incense on the high-places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; those also that burnt incense unto Ba'al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, 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 brought out the Asherah from the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burnt it at the brook Kidron, and ground it small to powder, and cast its powder upon the graves of the children of the people.
7 и разруши храм кадисимов, иже бе в храме Господни, идеже жены прядяху ризы кумиру:
And he pulled down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
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 brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high-places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba' to Beer-Sheba', and he pulled down the high-places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left at the gate of the city.
9 Обаче не вхождаху жерцы высоких ко олтарю Господню во Иерусалиме, но токмо ядяху опресноки посреде братии своея.
Nevertheless the priests of the high-places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem; but they ate unleavened bread in the midst of 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 the Thopheth, which was in the valley Ben-hinnom, so that no man should cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
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 put down the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, from the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the chamberlain, who was over the suburbs; and the chariots of the sun he burnt 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 on the roof of the upper-chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Menasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down, and tore them away from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
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:
And the high-places that were before Jerusalem, which were to the right of the mount of destruction, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for 'Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Kemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of 'Ammon, did the king defile.
14 и сокруши столпы, и искорени дубравы, и наполни места их костми человеческими:
And he broke in pieces the standing images, and cut down the Asherah-groves, and filled their places with the bones of 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.
So also the altar that was at Beth-el, the high-place which Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, had made, —also that altar and the high-place did he pull down; and he burnt the high-place, ground it small to powder, and burnt then the Asherah.
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 Josiah turned about, and beheld the graves that were there in the mount, and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who had proclaimed these events.
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.
Then said he, What kind of monument is that which I see? And the men of the city said to him, It is the grave of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things which thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
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 rest: no man shall disturb his bones. So they saved his bones, 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,
And also all the houses of the high-places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made as provocations to anger, did Josiah remove, and did to them in accordance with all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
20 и закла вся жерцы высоких сущыя тамо пред олтарми, и сожже на них кости человечи, и возвратися во Иерусалим.
And he slaughtered all the priests of the high-places that were there upon the altars, and burnt men's bones upon them, and returned [then] to Jerusalem.
21 И заповеда царь всем людем, глаголя: сотворите пасху Господеви Богу нашему, якоже писано в книзе завета сего:
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.
22 яко не бысть пасха сия от дний судий, иже судиша Израилеви, и во всех днех царей Израилевых и царей Иудиных:
For there had not been holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel; nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
23 но токмо во осмоенадесять лето царя Иосии бысть пасха Господу во Иерусалиме.
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover holden to the Lord in Jerusalem.
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.
And also the men of familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were to be seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah clear away; in order that he might accomplish the words of the law which were written in the book that Chilkiyahu the priest had found in the house 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.
And like unto him there was no king before him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there arose none like him.
26 Обаче не отвратися Господь от ярости гнева Своего великаго, имже возярися гневом на Иуду, на прогневания, имиже прогнева Его Манассиа,
Notwithstanding this the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, since his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provokings wherewith Menasseh had provoked him to anger.
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, Also Judah will I remove out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, 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 Josiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
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 went up Pharaoh-nechoh the king of Egypt against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he saw 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 dying in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoachaz the son of Josiah, and 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.
Twenty and three years old was Jehoachaz when he became king; and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as 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 Pharaoh-nechoh put him in fetters at Riblah in the land of Chamath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on 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 Pharaoh-nechoh made Elyakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoyakim, and took Jehoachaz away: and he came to Egypt, and 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 Jehoyakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money by the order of Pharaoh: from every one according to his estimation did he exact the silver and gold from the people of the land, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh.
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.
Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king; and eleven years did be reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedayah of Rumah.
37 И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as his fathers had done.
