Книга Иисуса Навина 9
1 Егда же услышаша вси царие Аморрейстии, иже об ону страну Иордана, иже в горней и иже в равней, и иже во всем примории моря великаго и иже при Антиливане, и Хеттеи и Аморреи, и Гергесеи и Хананеи, и Ферезеи и Евеи и Иевусеи,
Now When these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite,
2 снидошася вкупе сещися со Иисусом и со Израилем единомысленно.
Gathered themselves together, to fight against Josue and Israel with one mind, and one resolution.
3 И живущии в холме в Гаваоне слышаша вся, елика сотвори Господь Иерихону и Гаю,
But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to Jericho and Hai:
4 и сотвориша и сии с лукавством, и шедше уготоваша брашна и уготовашася: и вземше вретища ветха на ослы своя, и мехи вина ветхи и разседшыяся завязаны:
Cunningly devising took for themselves provisions, laying old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles rent and sewed up again,
5 и сапоги ветхи и заплачены на ногу их, и ризы обветшаны на них, и хлебы брашна их беша пресохли и сплеснели и сдроблени.
And very old shoes, which for a show of age were clouted with patches, and old garments upon them: the leaves also, which they carried for provisions by the way, were hard, and broken into pieces:
6 И приидоша ко Иисусу в полк Израилев в Галгалы, и рекоша ко Иисусу и всему Израилю: от земли дальния приидохом, и ныне завещайте нам завет.
And they went to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him, and to all Israel with him: We are come from a far country, desiring to make peace with you. And the children of Israel answered them, and said:
7 И рекоша сынове Израилевы к Хоррею: виждь, не посреде ли нас живеши, и како тебе завещаю завет?
Perhaps you dwell in the land which falls to our lot; if so, we can make no league with you.
8 И рекоша ко Иисусу: раби есмы твои. И рече к ним Иисус: откуду есте? И откуду приидосте?
But they said to Josue: We are thy servants. Josue said to them: Who are you? and whence came you?
9 И рекоша к нему: от дальния земли зело приидохом раби твои во имя Господа Бога твоего: слышахом бо имя Его и вся, елика сотвори во Египте,
They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt.
10 и вся, елика сотвори двоим царем Аморрейским, иже быша об ону страну Иордана, Сиону царю Есевонску и Огу царю Васанску, иже живяше во Астарофе и во Едраине.
And to the two kings of the Amorrhites that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, that was in Astaroth:
11 И слышавше рекоша к нам старцы наши и вси живущии на земли нашей, глаголюще: возмите себе брашно на путь и идите противу им, и рцыте к ним: раби есмы ваши, и ныне завещайте нам завет:
And our ancients, and all the inhabitants of our country said to us: Take with you victuals for a long way, and go meet them, and say: We are your servants, make ye a league with us.
12 сии хлебы наши, теплыя на путь взяхом их от домов наших, в оньже день изыдохом приити к вам: ныне же пресхоша и быша содроблени:
Behold, these leaves we took hot, when we set out from our houses to come to you, now they are become dry, and broken in pieces, by being exceeding old.
13 и сии меси вина, ихже налияхом новы, и сии разседошася: и ризы нашя сия и обувища наша обетшаша от долгаго пути зело.
These bottles of wine when we filled them were new, now they are rent and burst. These garments we have on, and the shoes we have on our feet, by reason of the very long journey are worn out, and almost consumed.
14 И взяша князи брашно их, а Господа не вопросиша.
They took therefore of their victuals, and consulted not the mouth of the Lord.
15 И сотвори Иисус с ними мир, и устави к ним завет, еже снабдети их: и кляшася им князи сонма.
And Josue made peace with them, and entering into a league promised that they should not be slain: the princes also of the multitude swore to them.
16 И бысть по триех днех по завещании к ним завета, услышаша, яко близ их суть и яко посреде их живут.
Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them.
17 И восташа сынове Израилевы и внидоша во грады их в третий день: гради же их (бяху) Гаваон и Кефира, и Вирот и град Иарим.
And the children of Israel removed the camp, and came into their cities on the third day, the names of which are Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarim.
18 И не сотвориша с ними рати (Иисус и) сынове Израилевы, яко кляшася им вси князи сонма Господем Богом Израилевым. И ропташа весь сонм Израилев на князей.
And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes.
19 И рекоша вси князи всему сонму: мы кляхомся им Господем Богом Израилевым, и ныне не возможем коснутися их:
And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them.
20 сие сотворим им, еже живити их, и снабдим их, и не будет на нас гнева клятвы ради, еюже кляхомся им.
But this we mill do to them: Let their lives be saved, lest the wrath of the Lord be stirred up against us, if we should be forsworn.
21 И рекоша им князи: да живут сии, и будут древосечцы и водоносцы всему сонму. И сотвори весь сонм, якоже рекоша им князи.
But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things,
22 И созва их Иисус и рече им, глаголя: почто прельстисте мя, глаголюще: далече есмы от тебе зело? Вы же населницы есте от живущих в нас:
Josue called the Gabaonites and said to them: Why would you impose upon us, saying: We dwell far off from you, whereas you are in the midst of us?
23 и ныне прокляти есте: и не оскудеет от вас раб, ниже древосечец, ниже водоносец мне и Богу моему.
Therefore you shall be under a curse, and your race shall always be hewers of wood, and carriers of water unto the house of my God.
24 И отвещаша Иисусу, глаголюще: понеже возвестися нам (рабом твоим), елика заповеда Господь Бог твой Моисею рабу Своему, дати вам землю сию и потребити нас и вся живущыя на ней от лица вашего, сего ради убояхомся зело от душах наших от лица вашего, и сотворихом дело сие:
They answered: It was told us thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives. compelled by the dread we had of you and we took this counsel.
25 и ныне, се, мы подручни вам, якоже угодно есть вам, и якоже вам мнится, творите нам.
And now we are in thy hand: deal with us as it seemeth good and right unto thee.
26 И сотвориша им сице: и избави я Иисус в той день от руку сынов Израилевых, и не убиша их.
So Josue did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain.
27 И постави я Иисус в той день древосечцы и водоносцы всему сонму и олтарю Божию. Сего ради быша живущии в Гаваоне древосечцы и водоносцы олтарю Божию, даже до днешняго дне, и на месте еже аще изберет Господь.
And he gave orders in that day that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen.
