Четвертая книга Царств 4

1 И жена едина от сынов пророчих возопи ко Елиссею, глаголющи: раб твой муж мой умре, ты же веси, яко раб твой бе бояся Господа: и заимодавец прииде взяти два сына моя себе в рабы.

NOW there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

2 И рече Елиссей: что сотворю ти? Повеждь ми, что имаши ныне в дому? Она же рече: несть у рабы твоея ничтоже в дому, токмо мало елеа, имже помажуся.

And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 И рече к ней: иди, испроси себе сосуды отвне от всех сосед твоих, сосуды праздны, не умали:

Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 и вниди, и затвори дверь за собою и за сынома твоима, и влиеши (от елеа твоего) во вся сосуды сия, и наполненное возмеши.

And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

5 И отиде от него и сотвори тако, и затвори дверь за собою и за сынома своима: та приношаста к ней, она же вливаше:

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

6 и бысть егда наполнишася вси сосуды, и рече сынома своима: приближита ми еще сосуд. И реста ей: несть еще сосуда. И ста елей.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

7 И прииде и возвести человеку Божию. И рече Елиссей: иди и продаждь сей елей, и заплати лихву твою, и ты и сына твоя жити будете от оставшаго елеа.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

8 И бысть во един день, и прейде Елиссей в Соман, и ту жена велия и удержа его снести хлеба: и бысть ему входити и исходити множицею, и уклоняшеся тамо ясти хлеба.

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 И рече жена к мужу своему: се, ныне разумех, яко человек Божий свят сей мимо ходит нас присно:

And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 сотворим убо ему горницу, место мало, и поставим ему тамо одр и трапезу, и престол и свещник: и будет внегда входити ему к нам, и уклоняется тамо.

Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 И бысть во един день, и вниде тамо, и уклонися в горницу, и спа тамо.

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

12 И рече ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: призови ми Соманитяныню сию. И призва ю, и ста пред ним.

And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 И рече ему: рцы убо ей: се, удивила еси нас всем попечением сим: что подобает сотворити тебе? Аще есть тебе слово к царю или ко князю силы? Она же рече: (несть, ) посреде людий моих аз есмь живущи.

And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14 И рече ко Гиезию: что подобает сотворити ей? И рече Гиезий отрочищь его: воистинну сына несть у нея и муж ея стар.

And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

15 И рече призови ю. И призва ю, и ста при дверех.

And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 И рече Елиссей к ней: во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, ты зачнеши сына. Она же рече: ни, господине, не солжи рабе твоей.

And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

17 И зачат во чреве жена, и роди сына во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, якоже глагола к ней Елиссей.

And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.

18 И возмужа отрочищь. И бысть, егда изыде ко отцу своему, к жнущым,

And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19 и рече ко отцу своему: глава моя, глава моя (болит). И рече ко отроку: неси его к матери его.

And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

20 И несе его к матери его, и лежаше на колену ея до полудне, и умре.

And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

21 И вознесе его, и положи его на одре человека Божия: и затвори его, и изыде, и призва мужа своего, и рече ему:

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

22 посли ми убо единаго от отрок, и едино от ослят, и теку до человека Божия, и возвращуся.

And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

23 И рече: что яко ты идеши к нему днесь? Не нов месяц, ниже суббота. Она же рече: мир.

And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

24 И оседла осля, и рече ко отрочищу своему: веди, и иди, да не удержиши мене, еже всести, якоже реку тебе: гряди, и иди, и прииди к человеку Божию на гору Кармилскую.

Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

25 И иде, и прииде до человека Божия в гору Кармилскую. И бысть яко виде ю Елиссей грядущую, и рече ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: се, убо Соманитяныня оная:

So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

26 ныне тецы во сретение ея и речеши ей: мир ли тебе? И тече во сретение ей и рече ей: мир ли тебе? Мир ли мужу твоему, мир ли отрочищу твоему? Она же рече: мир.

Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

27 И прииде ко Елиссею на гору, и ятся за нозе его. И приближнся Гиезий отринути ю. И рече Елиссей: остави ю, яко душа ея болезненна в ней, и Господь укры от мене и не возвести мне.

And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

28 Она же рече: еда просих сына у господина моего, яко рекох: не прельсти мене?

Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29 И рече Елиссей ко Гиезию: препояши чресла твоя и возми жезл мой в руце твои, и иди, яко аще обрящеши мужа, да не благословиши его, и аще благословит тя муж, не отвещай ему: и возложи жезл мой на лице отрочища.

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

30 И рече мати отрочища: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И воста Елиссей и иде вслед ея.

And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

31 И Гиезий иде пред нею, и возложи жезл на лице отрочища, и не бе гласа, и не бе слышания. И возвратися во сретение его и поведа ему глаголя: не воста отрочищь.

And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

32 И вниде Елиссей в храмину, и се, отрочищь умерый положен на одре его.

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

33 И вниде Елиссей в дом и затвори дверь за двою собою, и помолися Господу.

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.

34 И взыде, и ляже на отрочищи, и положи уста своя на устех его, и очи свои на очи его, и руце свои на руце его, и плесне свои на плесну его: и слячеся над ним, и дуну на него, и согреся плоть отрочища.

And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

35 И обратися, и походи в храмине сюду и сюду: и взыде, и слячеся над отрочищем седмижды, и отверзе отрочищь очи свои.

Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 И возопи Елиссей ко Гиезию и рече: призови ми Соманитяныню сию. И призва ю, и вниде к нему. И рече Елиссей: приими сына твоего.

And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

37 И вниде жена, и паде на ногу его, и поклонися ему до земли: и прият сына своего, и изыде.

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

38 И Елиссей возвратися в Галгалы. И бе глад в земли той, и сынове пророчи седяху пред ним. И рече Елиссей отрочищу своему: настави коноб велий и свари варение сыном пророчим.

And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.

39 И изыде един на село собрати зелия дивия: и обрет виноград на селе, и набра в нем яблока дивияго полну ризу свою, и всыпа в котел на сварение, яко не разумеша,

And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

40 и принесе мужем ясти. И бысть ядущым им от варения, и се, возопиша и реша: смерть в конобе, человече Божий. И не могоша ясти.

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

41 И рече: возмите муки и всыплите в коноб. И рече Елиссей ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: изнеси людем, да ядят. И не бысть ктому злаго глагола в конобе.

But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

42 И муж прииде от Вефариса и принесе к человеку Божию первородных двадесять хлебов ячменных и смоквы. И рече: дадите людем, да ядят.

And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

43 И рече отрок его: что дам сие сту мужем? И рече: даждь людем я, да ядят, яко сице глаголет Господь: будут ясти, и останет.

And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

44 И ядоша, и оста по глаголу Господню.

So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord.
