Книга Иисуса Навина 8
1 И рече Господь ко Иисусу: не бойся, ниже ужасайся: поими с собою вся мужы воинския, и востав взыди в Гай: се, предах в руце твои царя Гайска и землю его, и люди его и град его:
Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:
2 и да сотвориши Гаю и царю его, якоже сотворил еси Иерихону и царю его: и плен его и скоты его да плениши себе: устрой же себе подсаду граду за собою.
And you are to do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king: but their goods and their cattle you may take for yourselves: let a secret force be stationed to make a surprise attack on the town from the back.
3 И воста Иисус и вси мужие воинстии, да внидут в Гай: и избра Иисус тридесять тысящ мужей воинских сильных крепостию и посла их нощию,
So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.
4 и заповеда им, глаголя: вы скрыйтеся за градом: не далече будите от града зело, и будите вси готови:
And he gave them their orders, saying, Go and take up your position secretly at the back of the town: do not go very far away, and let all of you be ready:
5 аз же и вси людие иже со мною приступим ко граду: и будет егда изыдут живущии в Гаи в сретение нам, якоже и прежде, и побегнем от лица их:
And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;
6 и егда изыдут вслед нас, отторгнем их от града: и рекут: бежат сии от лица нашего, якоже и прежде:
And they will come out after us, till we have got them away from the town; for they will say, They have gone in flight from us as before; so we will go in flight before them;
7 вы же востанете от подсады, и пойдете во град, и предаст его Господь Бог наш в руце ваши:
Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.
8 и будет егда возмете град, запалите его огнем, по словеси сему сотворите: се, заповедаю вам.
And when you have taken the town, put fire to it, as the Lord has said: see, I have given you your orders.
9 И посла их Иисус, и идоша в подсаду: и седоша между Вефилем и между Гаием, от моря Гаиа.
So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.
10 И востав Иисус заутра, согляда люди: и взыде сам и старцы Израилтестии пред людьми в Гай.
And early in the morning Joshua got up, and put the people in order, and he and the chiefs of Israel went up before the people to Ai.
11 И вси людие воинстии с ним взыдоша, и идуще приидоша сопротив града от востоков: и подсады града от моря.
And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.
12 И ополчишася от севера Гаиа, и (бысть) дебрь между ими и между Гаием. И взя яко пять тысящ мужей, и положи их на подсаду между Вефилем и Гаием от запада Гаиа.
And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.
13 И поставиша людие весь полк от севера града, а прочая его от моря града. И пойде Иисус в нощь ону посреде дебри.
So all the people were in their places, the army on the north side of the town and the secret force on the west; and that night Joshua went down into the valley.
14 И бысть егда увиде царь Гайский, потщася, и воста рано и изыде в сретение им прямо на брань, сам и вси людие его с ним во время, пред лицем подсады: он же не ведяше, яко подсада ему есть за градом (его).
Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.
15 И увиде, и отиде Иисус и весь люд от лица их, и побеже путем пустыни,
Then Joshua and all Israel, acting as if they were overcome before them, went in flight by way of the waste land.
16 и укрепися весь люд гнати вслед их, и погнаша вслед сынов Израилевых, и отступиша от града.
And all the people in Ai came together to go after them; and they went after Joshua, moving away from the town.
17 (И) не остася никтоже в Гаи и Вефили, иже не погна вслед Израиля: и оставиша град отверст, и гнаша вслед Израиля.
There was not a man in Ai and Beth-el who did not go out after Israel; and the town was open and unwatched while they went after Israel.
18 И рече Господь ко Иисусу: простри руку твою с копием, еже в руце твоей, на град, зане в руку твою предах его: и подсады востанут вскоре от места своего. И простре Иисус руку свою и с копием на град.
And the Lord said to Joshua, Let your spear be stretched out against Ai; for I will give it into your hands. So Joshua took up his spear, stretching it out in the direction of the town.
19 И подсады восташа скоро от места своего: и изыдоша, егда простре руку, и внидоша во град, и взяша его: и потщавшеся запалиша град огнем.
Then the secret force came quickly from their place, and running forward when they saw his hand stretched out, went into the town and took it, and put fire to it straight away.
20 И озревшеся обитатели Гайстии вспять себе, узреша дым восходящь от града до небесе, и ктому не имеша камо побегнути, семо или овамо: людие же бегущии в пустыню обратишася на гонящих.
Then the men of Ai, looking back, saw the smoke of the town going up to heaven, and were unable to go this way or that: and the people who had gone in flight to the waste land were turned back on those who were coming after them.
21 Иисус же и весь Израиль увидеша, яко взяша подсады град, и яко восходит дым градный до небесе: и обратившеся избиша мужей Гайских.
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the town had been taken by the surprise attack, and that the smoke of the town had gone up, turning round they overcame the men of Ai.
22 И сии изыдоша из града противу им, и быша посреде полка Израилева, сии отсюду и сии отюнуду: и избиша их, дондеже не остася ни един от них цел, ни убежа.
Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.
23 И царя Гайска яша жива, и приведоша его ко Иисусу.
But the king of Ai they made prisoner, and took him to Joshua.
24 И бысть егда престаша сынове Израилевы секуще всех сущих в Гаи и сущих на полях и на горе исхода, идеже гониша их, и падоша вси острием меча на ней до конца: и обратися Иисус в Гай и посече их мечем.
Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.
25 И быша вси падшии в той день от мужеска полу и до женска дванадесять тысящ, вси живущии в Гаи.
On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.
26 Иисус же не обрати руки своея, юже простре с копием, дондеже прокля всех обитающих в Гаи.
For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.
27 Кроме скотов (их) и имения, яже во граде онем, вся плениша себе сынове Израилевы по повелению Господню, якоже повеле Господь Иисусу.
But the cattle and the goods from that town, Israel took for themselves, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua.
28 И запали град Иисус огнем: землю необитаему во век положи его даже до сего дне.
So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.
29 И царя Гайска повеси на древе сугубем: и бяше на древе до вечера: и заходящу солнцу повеле Иисус, и сняша тело его с древа, и повергоша и в ров пред враты града: и насыпа над ним громаду велику камения даже до сего дне.
And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is there to this day.
30 Тогда созда Иисус олтарь Господу Богу Израилеву на горе Гевал,
Then Joshua put up an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
31 якоже заповеда Моисей раб Господень сыном Израилевым, и якоже написася в законе Моисеове, олтарь от камений всецелых, на нихже не возложися железо: и вознесе тамо всесожжения Господу и жертву спасения.
In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
32 И написа Иисус на камениих вторый закон, закон Моисеов, егоже написа пред сыны Израилевыми.
And he made there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, writing it before the eyes of the children of Israel.
33 И весь Израиль, и старцы их и судии их и книгочия их предходяху сюду и сюду пред кивотом, и жерцы и левити воздвизаша кивот завета Господня, пришелец же и туземец: иже быша половина их близ горы Гаризин, и половина их близ горы Гевал, якоже заповеда Моисей раб Господень благословити людий Израилевых в первых.
And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.
34 И по сих тако прочте Иисус вся словеса закона сего, благословения и клятвы, по всему написанному в законе Моисеове.
And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;
35 Не бяше словесе от всех, яже заповеда Моисей Иисусу, егоже не прочте Иисус во уши всего сонма сынов Израилевых, мужем и женам, и детем и пришелцем приходящым ко Израилю.
Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.
