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 to him all the elders of Judah and of 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, both small and great: and he read in their hearing 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 by a pillar, and 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 perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people joined in 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 Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and 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 put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; them also that burned incense to Baal, 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 grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder of it 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 broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings 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 brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and broke down the high places of the gates that were in the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand 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 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 children of Hinnom, that no man might make 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 took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the common lands, and burned 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 on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and broke them down from there, and cast the dust of them 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 on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh 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 images, and cut down the 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.
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned 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 Josiah turned himself, he espied the sepulchres that were there on the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
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 he said, What title is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against 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 they let his bones alone, 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 all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and 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 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 the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the LORD your God, 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:
Surely there was not held such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor 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, when this passover was held 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.
Moreover the mediums, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest 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 him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Обаче не отвратися Господь от ярости гнева Своего великаго, имже возярися гневом на Иуду, на прогневания, имиже прогнева Его Манассиа,
However the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations by which Manasseh 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 Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, 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, are they not 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 Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, 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 in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz 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.
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of 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 Pharaohnechoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and subjected the land to a tribute of an 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 Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the stead of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz 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 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, from every one according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaohnechoh.
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.
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 И сотвори лукавое пред очима Господнима, по всем елика сотвориша отцы его.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
