Книга Иисуса Навина 2
1 И посла Иисус сын Навин из Саттина два юношы соглядати втай, глаголя: взыдите и видите землю и Иерихон. И шедша два юношы внидоста во Иерихон и внидоста в дом жены блудницы, ейже имя Раав: и витаста тамо.
And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two spies secretly, saying, Go, see the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and they lay down there.
2 И поведаша царю Иерихонскому, глаголюще: се, мужие внидоша семо (в сию нощь) от сынов Израилевых соглядати землю.
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come hither to-night from the children of Israel to search out the land.
3 И посла царь Иерихонский и рече к Рааве, глаголя: изведи мужы вшедшыя в дом твой нощию: соглядати бо землю приидоша.
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all the land.
4 И поемши жена два мужа, сокры их: и рече им, глаголющи: приидоша ко мне мужие, но не вем откуду быша:
And the woman had taken and concealed the two men; and she said, Yes, the men did come unto me, but I knew not whence they were;
5 егда же врата затворяху в сумраки, и мужие изыдоша: не вем камо поидоша: пожените скоро вслед их, аще постигнете их.
and it came to pass when the gate had to be closed, at dark, that the men went out: I know not whither the men have gone. Pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
6 Она же возведе я на храмину и сокры я в паздере льняне собранем у нея на храмине.
But she had taken them up to the roof, and secreted them under the stalks of flax, which she had laid out on the roof.
7 И мужие гнаша вслед их путем ко Иордану к преходом, и врата затворены быша.
And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan, to the fords; and when they who pursued after them had gone out, they closed the gate.
8 И бысть егда изыдоша женущии вслед их, и сии прежде неже уснути им, и она взыде к ним на храмину и рече к ним:
And before they had lain down, she went up to them upon the roof;
9 вем, яко предаде Господь землю (сию) вам: нападе бо страх ваш на ны, и ужасошася вси обитающии на земли от лица вашего:
and said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
10 слышахом бо, яко изсуши Господь Бог море Чермное пред лицем вашим, егда исхождасте из Египта, и елика сотвористе двоим царем Аморрейским, иже быша об ону страну Иордана, Сиону и Огу, ихже потребисте:
For we have heard that Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11 и слышавше мы ужасохомся в сердцы нашем, и не ста ктому дух ни во единем от нас от лица вашего: яко Господь Бог ваш, Бог на небеси горе и на земли доле:
We heard [of it], and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
12 и ныне кленитеся мне Господем Богом (вашим), яко аз творю милость вам, да сотворите и вы милость в дому отца моего, и дадите ми знамение истинно:
And now, I pray you, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye will also deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a certain sign,
13 и оживите дом отца моего, и матерь мою, и братию мою, и сестры моя, и вся, елика суть им, и измите душы нашя от смерти.
that ye will let my father live, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that belong to them, and deliver our souls from death.
14 И рекоша ей мужие: душа наша вместо вас на смерть, аще ныне не объявиши нас. Она же рече: и будет егда предаст Господь вам град (сей), сотворите мне милость и истину.
And the men said to her, Our lives shall pay for yours, if ye do not make this our business known; and it shall be when Jehovah shall give us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15 И свеси их на верве окном: яко дом ея при стене, и при стене сия живяше:
And she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was upon the city-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
16 и рече им: отидите в гору, да не срящут вас гонящии, и скрыйтеся тамо три дни, дондеже возвратятся гонящии вслед вас: и по сих отидете в путь ваш.
And she said to them, Go to the mountain, that the pursuers may not meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned; and afterwards go your way.
17 И реша к ней мужие: неповинни есмы клятве сей твоей, еюже закляла еси нас:
And the men said to her, We will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
18 се, мы входим в часть града, и поставиши знамение, вервь червлену, сию да обяжеши у окна, имже спустила еси нас: отца же твоего и матерь твою, и братию твою и весь дом отца твоего да собереши к себе в дом твой:
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household;
19 и будет всяк, иже аще изыдет из дверий дому твоего вон, сам себе повинен будет, мы же неповинни (будем) клятве твоей сей: и елицы аще с тобою будут в дому твоем, мы будем повинни, аще рука прикоснется их:
and it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, — his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 аще же кто нас обидит, или открыет словеса наша сия, будем неповинни клятве твоей сей, еюже закляла еси нас.
And if thou make known this our business, we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
21 И рече им: по словеси вашему тако да будет. И отпусти их, и отидоша: и привяза вервь червлену у окна.
And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22 И отидоша, и проидоша в гору, и пребыша тамо три дни, дондеже возвратишася гнавшии. И искаша гонящии по всем путем, и не обретоша.
And they went, and came to the mountain, and remained there three days, until the pursuers had returned; and the pursuers sought them all the way, and found them not.
23 И возвратистася два юношы и снидоста с горы: и преидоста (Иордан) ко Иисусу сыну Навину, и поведаста ему вся случившаяся има:
And the two men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything that had happened to them.
24 и реста ко Иисусу: яко предаде Господь Бог наш в руце наши всю землю, и убояшася вси живущии на земли той от нас.
And they said to Joshua, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us.
