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 who were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard these things;
2 снидошася вкупе сещися со Иисусом и со Израилем единомысленно.
That they gathered themselves 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 Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to 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 worked deceitfully, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine bottles, old, and torn, 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 old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them; 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 to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league 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 to the Hivites, Perhaps ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
8 И рекоша ко Иисусу: раби есмы твои. И рече к ним Иисус: откуду есте? И откуду приидосте?
And they said to Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are ye? and where did you come from?
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 to him, From a very far country thy servants have come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all 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 all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og 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:
Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants: therefore now 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:
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is 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 bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are torn: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
14 И взяша князи брашно их, а Господа не вопросиша.
And the men took of their provisions, and asked not counsel at 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 Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to 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 league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt 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 journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
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 to them by the LORD God of Israel. And 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:
But all the princes said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel: now 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.
This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to 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 to them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation; as the princes had promised 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 to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
23 и ныне прокляти есте: и не оскудеет от вас раб, ниже древосечец, ниже водоносец мне и Богу моему.
Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being slaves, 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 the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and 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: do as it seemeth good and right to thee to do to us.
26 И сотвориша им сице: и избави я Иисус в той день от руку сынов Израилевых, и не убиша их.
And so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that 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 made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.
