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.
And a certain woman, of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried unto Elisha', saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou well knowest that thy servant was one who feared the Lord: and now the creditor is come to take my two sons unto himself for servants.
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, Thy hand-maid hath nothing 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:
And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels from abroad from all thy neighbors, empty vessels, let them not be 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 then go home, and lock the door behind thee and behind thy sons, and then pour out into all those vessels; and that which is full thou shalt set aside.
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 locked the door behind her and behind her sons, who brought the vessels near 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 near to me yet another 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 came she and told it to the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and thou with thy children shalt live 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 happened one day, that Elisha' passed over to Shunem, and there was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread; and it happened, that as oft as he passed by, he used to turn 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 a holy man of God, who passeth through 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 then make a little upper chamber, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a chair, 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 happened one day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper 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 Gechazi his servant, Call this Shunammite: and he called her, and 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 at pains to take all this trouble for us: what is to be done for thee? wouldst thou be spoken for to the king, or to the chief of the army? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my 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 Gechazi said, Verily, she hath no son, and her husband is old.
15 И рече призови ю. И призва ю, и ста при дверех.
And he said, Call her: and he called her, and 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, At this season, next year, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my Lord, man of God, do not deceive thy hand-maid.
17 И зачат во чреве жена, и роди сына во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, якоже глагола к ней Елиссей.
But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season in the following year, as Elisha' had spoken unto her.
18 И возмужа отрочищь. И бысть, егда изыде ко отцу своему, к жнущым,
And the child grew up; and it happened one 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 he took him up, and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees till noon, when he 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 locked the door behind 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 she-asses, that I may hasten as far as the man of God, and return.
23 И рече: что яко ты идеши к нему днесь? Не нов месяц, ниже суббота. Она же рече: мир.
And he said, Wherefore art thou going to him today? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It is 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 the she-ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; do not restrain me in riding, unless I say it to 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 Gechazi his servant, Behold, yonder 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.
Now do run to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with thy 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 she came to the man of God to the mount, and caught hold of his feet; and Gechazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is grieved within her; and the Lord hath hidden it from me, and hath not told it me.
28 Она же рече: еда просих сына у господина моего, яко рекох: не прельсти мене?
And she said, Did I request a son from my Lord? did I not say, Do not lead me astray?
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 said he to Gechazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, thou shalt not salute him; and if any salute thee, thou shalt not answer him; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.
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 lad 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 Gechazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor perceptible sound; wherefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, The lad is not awakened.
32 И вниде Елиссей в храмину, и се, отрочищь умерый положен на одре его.
And when Elisha' was come into the house, behold, the lad was dead, laid upon his bed.
33 И вниде Елиссей в дом и затвори дверь за двою собою, и помолися Господу.
And he went in and locked the door behind both of them, 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 laid himself 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 him: and the flesh of the child became 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 [again] upon him; and the lad sneezed as many as seven times, and the lad 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 Gechazi, and said, Call this Shunammite: so he called her, and she came in unto him; and 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 went she 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' returned to Gilgal; and there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the large 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 colocynths his garment full, and came and cut them up 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.
And they poured it out for the men to eat; and it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
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 some meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour it out for the people, that they may eat. And there was nothing bad 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 Ba'alshalishah, and brought unto the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and fresh ears of corn in his scrip: and he said, Give it 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, shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give it unto the people, that they may eat; for thus hath said 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 ate, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord.
