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 secretly sent two young men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, and Jericho." And the two young men went and came to Jericho and entered into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.
2 И поведаша царю Иерихонскому, глаголюще: се, мужие внидоша семо (в сию нощь) от сынов Израилевых соглядати землю.
The king of Jericho was told, "Look, men of the children of Israel came in here to spy out the land."
3 И посла царь Иерихонский и рече к Рааве, глаголя: изведи мужы вшедшыя в дом твой нощию: соглядати бо землю приидоша.
The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who came to you tonight; for they have come to spy 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:
The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they came from.
5 егда же врата затворяху в сумраки, и мужие изыдоша: не вем камо поидоша: пожените скоро вслед их, аще постигнете их.
It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I do not know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."
6 Она же возведе я на храмину и сокры я в паздере льняне собранем у нея на храмине.
But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
7 И мужие гнаша вслед их путем ко Иордану к преходом, и врата затворены быша.
The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut 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:
Before they had lain down, she came up to them on 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 she said to the men, "I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before 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 how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you 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:
As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Jehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on 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:
Now therefore, please swear to me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a true token;
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.
and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives 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.
The men said to her, "Our life for yours, even to death, if you do not talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when Jehovah gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."
15 И свеси их на верве окном: яко дом ея при стене, и при стене сия живяше:
Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on 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.
She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way."
17 И реша к ней мужие: неповинни есмы клятве сей твоей, еюже закляла еси нас:
The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to 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:
Look, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by. You shall gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your 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:
It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.
20 аще же кто нас обидит, или открыет словеса наша сия, будем неповинни клятве твоей сей, еюже закляла еси нас.
But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."
21 И рече им: по словеси вашему тако да будет. И отпусти их, и отидоша: и привяза вервь червлену у окна.
She said, "According to your words, so be it." She sent them away, and they departed. She tied 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.
They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them.
23 И возвратистася два юношы и снидоста с горы: и преидоста (Иордан) ко Иисусу сыну Навину, и поведаста ему вся случившаяся има:
Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all 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.
They said to Joshua, "Truly Jehovah has delivered into our hands all the land. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us."
