Книга пророка Исаии 37
1 И бысть егда услыша царь Езекиа, растерза ризы и облечеся во вретище и вниде во храм Господень:
And it came to pass, when king Ezekias heard [it, that] he tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth, and went up to the house of the Lord.
2 и посла Елиакима домостроителя, и Сомну книгочия, и старейшины жречески оболчены во вретища ко Исаии пророку сыну Амосову.
And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the son of Amos, the prophet. And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias,
3 И рекоша ему: сия глаголет Езекиа: день печали и укоризны и обличения и гнева днешний день, понеже прииде болезнь раждающей, крепости же не имеет родити:
To-day is a day of affliction, and reproach, and rebuke, and anger: for the pangs are come upon the travailing [woman], but she has not strength to bring forth.
4 да услышит Господь Бог твой словеса Рапсакова, яже посла царь Ассирийский, господин его, укаряти Бога живаго и поносити словесы, яже слыша Господь Бог твой, и да помолишися ко Господеви Богу твоему о оставшихся сих.
May the Lord your God hear the words of Rabsaces, which the king of the Assyrians has sent, to reproach the living God, even to reproach with the words which the Lord your God has heard: therefore you shall pray to your Lord for these that are left.
5 И приидоша отроцы царя Езекии ко Исаии.
So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.
6 И рече им Исаиа: сице рцыте ко господину вашему: сия глаголет Господь: не убойся от словес, яже еси слышал, имиже укориша Мя послы царя Ассирийска:
And Esaias said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says the Lord, Be not you afraid at the words which you have heard, wherewith the ambassadors of the king of the Assyrians have reproached me,
7 се, Аз вложу в него дух, и услышав весть возвратится во страну свою и падет мечем на своей земли.
Behold, I [will] send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land.
8 И возвратися Рапсак и обрете царя Ассирийскаго облежаща Ловну: и услыша царь Ассирийск, яко отиде от Лахиса,
So Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachis.
9 и изыде Фарака царь Ефиопский воевати нань: и услышав возвратися и посла послы ко Езекии, глаголя:
And Tharaca king of the Ethiopians went forth to attack him. And when he heard it, he turned aside, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
10 сице рцыте Езекии царю Иудейску: да не прельщает Бог твой тебе, на Негоже уповая еси, глаголя, яко не предастся Иерусалим в руце царя Ассирийска:
Thus shall you say to Ezekias king of Judea, Let not your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
11 или не слышал еси ты, что сотвориша царие Ассирийстии, како всю землю погубиша, и ты ли избавишися?
Hast you not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? and shall you be delivered?
12 Еда избавиша сих бози язычестии, ихже погубиша отцы мои Гозан и Харран и Расем, иже суть во стране Феемафи?
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, both Gozan, and Charrhan, and Rapheth, which are in the land of Theemath?
13 Где суть царие Емафовы, и где Арфафовы, и где града Епфаруема, Анагугана?
Where are the kings of Emath? and where [is the king of] Arphath? and where [is the king] of the city of Eppharuaim, [and of] Anagugana?
14 И взя Езекиа книгу от послов и прочте ю, и вниде во храм Господень и отверзе ю пред Господем.
And Ezekias received the letter from the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and opened it before the Lord.
15 И помолися Езекиа ко Господеви, глаголя:
And Ezekias prayed to the Lord, saying,
16 Господи Саваоф, Боже Израилев, седяй на Херувимех, Ты еси Бог един Царь всякаго царства вселенныя, Ты сотворил еси небо и землю:
O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sit upon the cherubs, you alone are the God of every kingdom of the world: you have made heaven and earth.
17 приклони, Господи, ухо Твое, услыши, Господи, отверзи, Господи, очи Твои, призри, Господи, и виждь и слыши вся словеса Сеннахиримля, яже посла укаряти Бога живаго:
Incline your ear, O Lord, listen, O Lord; open your eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
18 поистинне бо, Господи, пусту сотвориша царие Ассирийстии всю землю и страны их,
For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof,
19 и ввергоша кумиры их во огнь, не беша бо бози, но дела рук человеческих, древа и камение, и погубиша я:
and have cast their idols into the fire: for, they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away.
20 ныне же, Господи Боже наш, спаси ны от руки их, да уведят вся царствия земная, яко Ты еси (Господь) Бог един.
But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that you are God alone.
21 И послан бысть Исаиа сын Амосов ко Езекии и рече ему: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: слышах, о нихже молился еси ко Мне о Сеннахириме цари Ассирийстем.
And Esaias the son of Amos was sent to Ezekias, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard your prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
22 Сие слово, еже глагола о нем Бог: похули тя и поругася тебе девица дщи Сионя, на тя главою покива дщи Иерусалимля:
This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Sion has despised you, and mocked you; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 кого укорил и разгневал еси? Или к кому возвысил еси глас твой, и не воздвигл еси на высоту очес твоих? Ко Святому Израилеву!
Whom have you reproached and provoked? and against whom have you lifted up your voice? and have you not lifted up your eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel?
24 Яко послами укорил еси Господа, ты бо рекл еси: множеством колесниц аз взыдох на высоту гор и на последняя Ливана, и посекох высоту кедра его и доброту кипарисову, и внидох в высоту части дубравныя
For you have reproached the Lord by messengers; for you have said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Libanus; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region:
25 и положих мост, и опустоших воды и все собрание водное:
and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water.
26 не слышал ли еси издревле сих, яже Аз сотворих? От древних дний совещах, ныне же показах опустошити языки в твердынех и живущыя во твердых градех:
Hast you not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed [them] from ancient times; but now have I manifested [my purpose] of desolating nations in [their] strong holds, and them that dwell in strong cities.
27 опустих руце, и изсхоша и быша аки сухо сено на кровех и аки троскот:
I weakened [their] hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the housetops, and as grass.
28 ныне же покой твой и исход твой и вход твой Аз вем,
But now I know your rest, and your going out, and your coming in.
29 ярость же твоя, еюже разгневался еси, и огорчение твое взыде ко Мне, и вложу брозду в ноздри твоя, и узду во уста твоя, и возвращу тя путем, имже еси пришел.
And your wrath wherewith you have been enraged, and your rancour has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in your nose, and a bit in your lips, and will turn you back by the way by which you came.
30 Сие же тебе знамение: яждь сего лета, еже еси всеял, а во второе лето, еже от себе растет: а в третие насеявше пожнете и насадите винограды и снесте плоды их:
And this shall be a sign to you, Eat this year what you have sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31 и будут оставшии во Иудеи, прорастят корение долу и сотворят в верх плод,
And they that are left in Judea shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 яко от Иерусалима будут оставшиися и спасшиися от горы Сиони: ревность Господа Саваофа сотворит сия.
for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
33 Сего ради тако глаголет Господь на царя Ассирийска: не внидет в сей град, ниже пустит нань стрелу, ниже возложит нань щита, ниже оградит окрест его ограждения:
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it.
34 но путем, имже прииде, темже возвратится, и во град сей не внидет. Сия глаголет Господь:
But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus says the Lord.
35 защищу град сей, еже спасти его Мене ради и ради Давида раба Моего.
I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
36 И изыде Ангел Господень и изби от полка Ассирийска сто осмьдесят пять тысящ. И воставше заутра, обретоша вся телеса мертва.
And the angel of the Lord went forth, and killed out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they arose in the morning and found all [these] bodies dead.
37 И отиде возвращься Сеннахирим царь Ассирийский и вселися во Ниневии.
And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians turned and departed, and lived in Nineve.
38 И внегда покланятися ему и в дому Насараху отечествоначалнику своему, Адрамелех и Сарасар сынове его убиста его мечьми, сами же убежаста во Армению. И воцарися Асордан сын его вместо его.
And while he was worshipping Nasarach his country's god in the house, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons struck him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia: and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
