Четвертая книга Царств 25
1 И бысть в лето девятое царства его, в месяц десятый, прииде Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский и вся сила его на Иерусалим: и обступи его отвсюду, и создаша окрест его бойницы.
Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
2 И бысть град во облежении до первагонадесять лета царства Седекиина, девятаго дне месяца:
And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
3 и превозможе во граде глад, и не бысть хлеба людем земли тоя:
on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.
4 и разседеся град, и вси мужие воинстии изыдоша нощию путем врат, яже посреде стен, яже суть у вертограда царева, и Халдее окрест града (беша). И побеже (царь Седекиа) путем пустынным:
And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
5 и погна сила Халдейская вслед царя, и яша его во Аравофе Иерихонстем, и вся сила его разсыпася от него:
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
6 и пояша царя и поведоша его к царю Вавилонску в Ревлафу: и глагола с ним суд:
Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
7 и сыны Седекиины закла пред очима его, и очи Седекиины избоде, и связа его узами, и отведе его во Вавилон.
Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
8 В месяц же пятый, в седмый день месяца, сие лето девятоенадесять Навуходоносора царя Вавилонска, прииде Навузардан архимагир, раб царя Вавилонскаго, во Иерусалим
In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
9 и зажже храм Господень и дом царев, и вся домы Иерусалимли и вся домы великия сожже архимагир:
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
10 и стены Иерусалимли окрест раскопа сила Халдейская.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11 И останок людий избывших во граде и впадших, иже отпадоша ко царю Вавилонску, и прочее и утверждение пренесе Навузардан воевода.
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 И от нищих земли тоя остави архимагир винограды блюсти и вертограды.
But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
13 И столпы медяны в храме Господни, и подставы, и море медное сущее во храме Господни сокрушиша Халдее, и взяша медь их во Вавилон:
Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
14 и конобы, и котлы и фиалы, и кадилницы, и вся сосуды медяныя, в нихже служаху, взяша:
Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
15 и кадилницы, и фиалы златыя и сребряныя взя архимагир,
And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
16 столпы два, и моря едино, и подставы, яже сотвори Соломон храму Господню: не бе веса меди всех сосудов.
and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
17 Осминадесяти лакот бысть высота столпа единаго, и глава медяна на нем: и высота главе три лакти, и на главе мрежи и шипки окрест, вся медяна: по сему же и столп вторый со мрежею.
One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
18 И поят архимагир Сареа жерца перваго и Софонию жерца втораго, и три стражы вратныя:
Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
19 и от града взя скопца единаго, иже бе приставник над мужи военными, и пять мужей предстоящих пред лицем царевым, обретшихся во граде, и книгочиа князя силы, иже строяше люди земли тоя, и шестьдесят мужей людий земли тоя обретшихся во граде:
and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
20 и поят я Навузардан архимагир, и приведе я к царю Вавилонскому в Ревлафу.
Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 И порази их царь Вавилонский, и умори я в Ревлафе, в земли Емафове. И преселися Иуда свыше земли своея.
And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
22 И людие оставшиися в земли Иудове, ихже остави Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский, и постави над ними Годолию, сына Ахикамля, сына Сафаня.
But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
23 И услышаша вси князи силы сами и мужие их, яко постави царь Вавилонский Годолию, и приидоша к Годолии в Массифу, и Исмаил сын Нафаниин, и Иоанан сын Карифов, и Сараиа сын Фанамафов Нетофафитский, и Иезониа сын Махаффов, сами и мужие их (приидоша).
And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
24 И клятся им Годолиа и мужем их и рече им: не бойтеся пришествия Халдеев: седите на земли и работайте царю Вавилонскому, и добро будет вам.
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
25 И бысть в месяц седмый, прииде Исмаил сын Нафаниин сына Елисамля от семене царска, и десять мужей с ним, и порази Годолию, и умре, и Иудеев и Халдеев, иже с ним бяху в Массифе.
But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 И восташа вси людие, от мала и до велика, и князи сил, и внидоша во Египет, яко убояшася от лица Халдейска.
And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
27 И бысть в лето тридесять седмое преселения Иоахина царя Иудина, в дванадесятый месяц, в двадесять седмый день месяца, вознесе Евилмародах царь Вавилонский, в лето царства своего, главу Иоахина царя Иудина, и изведе его из дому темницы его,
Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
28 и глагола с ним благая, и даде престол ему свыше престолов царей, иже бяху с ним в Вавилоне:
And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
29 и измени ризы его темничныя, и ядяше хлеб с ним всегда, во вся дни живота своего.
And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
30 И пища его от дому царска давана бяше, и все изобилие во дни его, во вся дни живота его.
Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
