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,
And it came to pass, when all the kings that were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in all the coast of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard this,
2 снидошася вкупе сещися со Иисусом и со Израилем единомысленно.
That they assembled themselves all together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
3 И живущии в холме в Гаваоне слышаша вся, елика сотвори Господь Иерихону и Гаю,
And when the inhabitants of Gib'on heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto 'Ai,
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:
They also did work wilily, and went and feigned to be messengers, and took old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
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 [put] old and patched-up shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
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 Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far-off country; and now make ye a covenant with us.
7 И рекоша сынове Израилевы к Хоррею: виждь, не посреде ли нас живеши, и како тебе завещаю завет?
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell in the midst of us; and how can we make a covenant with you:
8 И рекоша ко Иисусу: раби есмы твои. И рече к ним Иисус: откуду есте? И откуду приидосте?
And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye!
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,
And they said unto him, From a very far-off country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done 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 all that he hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to 'Og the king of Bashan, who was at 'Ashtaroth.
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:
Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, as followeth, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, Your servants are we: and now make ye with us a covenant.
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:
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and it is become mouldy:
13 и сии меси вина, ихже налияхом новы, и сии разседошася: и ризы нашя сия и обувища наша обетшаша от долгаго пути зело.
And these wine-bottles, which we filled, when new, — but behold, they are now become rent; and these our garments and our shoes are become worn out by reason of the very long journey.
14 И взяша князи брашно их, а Господа не вопросиша.
And the men took of their provisions, but the decision of the Lord they did not ask.
15 И сотвори Иисус с ними мир, и устави к ним завет, еже снабдети их: и кляшася им князи сонма.
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.
16 И бысть по триех днех по завещании к ним завета, услышаша, яко близ их суть и яко посреде их живут.
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of 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 broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gib'on, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath-ye'arim.
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 the children of Israel smote them not; because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord, the God of Israel; but all the congregation murmured against the princes.
19 И рекоша вси князи всему сонму: мы кляхомся им Господем Богом Израилевым, и ныне не возможем коснутися их:
And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot touch them.
20 сие сотворим им, еже живити их, и снабдим их, и не будет на нас гнева клятвы ради, еюже кляхомся им.
This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them.
21 И рекоша им князи: да живут сии, и будут древосечцы и водоносцы всему сонму. И сотвори весь сонм, якоже рекоша им князи.
And the princes said unto them, Let them live: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.
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:
And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us?
23 и ныне прокляти есте: и не оскудеет от вас раб, ниже древосечец, ниже водоносец мне и Богу моему.
And now be ye cursed, and there shall not cease to be of you servants and hewers of wood and drawers of water for 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:
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we have done this thing.
25 и ныне, се, мы подручни вам, якоже угодно есть вам, и якоже вам мнится, творите нам.
And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do.
26 И сотвориша им сице: и избави я Иисус в той день от руку сынов Израилевых, и не убиша их.
And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they slew them not.
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 Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.
