Четвертая книга Царств 8
1 И глагола Елиссей к жене, еяже воскреси сына, глаголя: востани и иди ты и дом твой, и обитай идеже аще можеши обитати, яко призва Господь глад на землю, и приидет на землю седмь лет.
Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
2 И воста жена, и сотвори но глаголу Елиссееву, и пойде сама и дом ея, и обита на земли иноплеменничи седмь лет.
The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
3 И бысть но скончании седми лет, и возвратися жена от земли иноплеменничи во град, и прииде возопити к царю о доме своем и о селех своих.
When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
4 И глагола царь ко Гиезию отроку Елиссеа человека Божия глаголя: повеждь ми ныне вся великая, яже сотвори Елиссей.
The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
5 И бысть ему поведающу цареви, яко жива сотвори сына умершаго: и се, жена, еяже воскреси Елиссей сына ея, вопиющи ко цареви о доме своем и о селех своих, и рече Гиезий: господине царю, сия жена и сей сын ея, егоже жива сотвори Елиссей.
It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
6 И вопроси царь жену: и поведа ему. И даде ей царь скопца единаго, глаголя возврати вся, яже ея суть, и вся плоды села ея, от да, в оньже остави землю, даже до ныне.
The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
7 И прииде Елиссей в Дамаск. И сын Адеров царь Сирский разболеся, и возвестиша ему, глаголюще: прииде человек Божий до зде.
Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
8 И рече царь ко Азаилу: приими в руку свою дар, и иди во сретение человеку Божию, и вопроси Господа им, глаголя: аще ли жив буду от болезни сея?
The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
9 И иде Азаил на сретение ему, и взя дар в руку свою, и вся благая Дамаскова, бремя четыредесять велблюдов, и прииде, и ста пред ним, и рече ко Елиссею: сын твой, сын Адеров, царь Сирский, посла мя к тебе вопросити, глаголя: буду ли жив от болезни моея сея?
So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
10 И рече к нему Елиссей: иди и рцы ему: живя поживеши: но показа ми Господь, яко смертию умрет.
“Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
11 И предста лицу его, и возложи (руки) даже до постыдения, и плакася человек Божий.
Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
12 И рече Азаил: что яко господин мой плачет? И рече: вем елика сотвориши сыном Израилевым зла: крепости их сожжеши огнем, и избранныя их избиеши мечем, и младенцы их разбиеши, и во чреве имеющыя их расторгнеши.
“Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13 И рече Азаил: кто есть раб твой, пес мертвый, яко сотворит глагол сей? И рече Елиссей: показа ми тя Господь царствующа над Сириею.
“But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
14 И отиде от Елиссеа и вниде ко господину своему. И рече ему (царь): что ти рече Елиссей? Отвеща: рече ми Елиссей, живя поживеши.
Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
15 И бысть во утрии, и взя одеяло, и намочи в воде, и обложи на лице его, и умре: и воцарися Азаил вместо его.
But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
16 В лето пятое Иорама сына Ахаава царя Израилева и Иосафата царя Иудина, воцарися Иорам сын Иосафатов царь Иудин:
Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
17 сын тридесяти и двою лету бе, внегда воцаритися ему, и осмь лет царствова во Иерусалиме,
He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 и ходи в пути царей Израилевых, якоже сотвори дом Ахаавль, бе бо дщи Ахаавля жена ему, и сотвори лукавое пред Господем.
Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
19 И не хотяше Господь потребити Иуды, Давида ради раба Своего, якоже рече дати ему светилник и сыном его во вся дни.
But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
20 Во дни его отвержеся Едом из под руки Иудины и постави над собою царя.
During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
21 И взыде Иорам в Сиор, и вся колесницы яже с ним. И бысть ему воставшу, и изби Едома обступившаго окрест его, и князи колесниц, и бежаша людие в селения своя.
So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
22 И отступи Едом из под руки Иудины да дне сего: тогда отвержеся Ловна во время оно.
As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
23 И прочая словес Иорамлих, и вся елика сотвори, не се ли, сия писана в книзе словес дний царей Иудиных?
The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
24 И успе Иорам со отцы своими, и погребен бысть со отцы своими во граде Давида отца своего: и царствова Охозиа сын его вместо его.
Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25 В лето второенадесять Иорама сына Ахаавля царя Израилева, царствовати нача Охозиа сын Иорама царя Иудина:
Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
26 сын двадесяти двух лет бысть Охозиа, егда нача царствовати, и лето едино царствова во Иерусалиме. Имя же матери его Гофолиа, дщерь Амвриа царя Израилева.
Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 И хождаше по путем дому Ахаавля, и сотвори лукавое пред Господем, якоже дом Ахаавль: зять бо бе дому Ахаавля.
Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
28 И иде со Иорамом сыном Ахаавлим на брань, на Азаила царя иноплеменнича в Рамоф Галаадский, и уязвиша Сиряне Иорама.
Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
29 И возвратися царь Иорам целитися во Иезраель от язв, имиже уязвиша его в Рамофе, егда ратоваше той на Азаила царя Сирска, и Охозиа сын Иорамль царь Иудин сниде видети Иорама, сына Ахаавля, во Иезраель, яко боляше той.
and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
