Книга Судей израилевых 20
1 И изыдоша вси сынове Израилевы, и собрашася весь сонм яко един муж, от Дана и до Вирсавии, и земля Галаадска к Господеви в Массифу,
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
2 и сташа пред лицем Господним вся племена Израилева в сонме людий Божиих, четыреста тысящ мужей пеших воздвизающих оружия.
The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew sword.
3 И услышаша сынове Вениамини, яко взыдоша сынове Израилевы в Массифу, и рекоша сынове Израилевы: глаголите, где бысть злоба сия?
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”
4 И отвеща муж левитин, муж жены умореныя, глаголя: в Гаваон Вениаминь приидох аз и подложница моя витати:
The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
5 и восташа на мя мужие Гаваонстии и обыдоша мя во дворе нощию, и хотеша мя убити, и подложницу мою обидеша и обругаша, и умре:
The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, and she is dead.
6 и взях подложницу мою и раздробих ю, и послах ю во вся пределы наследия Израилева, яко сотвориша безумие во Израили:
I took my concubine and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
7 се, вси вы сынове Израилевы, дадите себе слово и совет зде.
Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.”
8 И восташа вси людие яко един муж, глаголюще: не отидет муж в селение свое, и не возвратится муж в дом свой:
All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house.
9 и ныне слово сие, еже сотворим Гаваону: взыдем на него по жребию,
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
10 токмо возмем по десяти мужей от ста во всех племенех Израилевых, и сто от тысящи, и тысяща от тмы, взяти брашно людем исходящым в Гаваю Вениаминю, сотворити ему по всему согрешению, еже сотвори во Израили.
and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that the men of Gibeah have done in Israel.”
11 И собрашася вси мужие Израилевы ко граду, яко един муж из градов исходяще,
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 и послаша племена Израилева мужей во все племя Вениамине, глаголюще: кая злоба сия бывшая в вас?
The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened amongst you?
13 И ныне дадите мужей беззаконных, иже в Гаваи, сынов велиаловых, и умертвим их, и очистим зло от Израиля. И не изволиша сынове Вениамини послушати гласа братии своея сынов Израилевых.
Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
14 И собрашася сынове Вениамини от градов своих в Гаваю, изыти на брань к сыном Израилевым.
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 И сочтошася сынове Вениамини от градов в той день двадесять и пять тысящ мужей воздвизающих оружия, кроме живущих в Гаваи:
The children of Benjamin were counted on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, in addition to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred chosen men.
16 ихже сочтеся седмь сот мужей избранных от всех людий ободесноручных: сии вси пращницы мещуще камение ко власу и не погрешающе.
Amongst all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
17 И всех мужей Израилевых сочтеся, кроме сынов Вениаминовых, четыреста тысящ мужей воздвизающих оружие: вси сии мужие воини.
The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were counted four hundred thousand men who drew sword. All these were men of war.
18 И восташа, и взыдоша в Вефиль, и вопросиша Бога, и рекоша сынове Израилевы: кто от нас взыдет в начале воевати на сыны Вениамини? И рече Господь: Иуда в начале да взыдет вождь.
The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The LORD said, “Judah first.”
19 И восташа сынове Израилевы заутра и ополчишася на Гаваю.
The children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
20 И изыде всяк муж Израилев на брань с Вениамином, и сразишася с ними мужие Израилевы на брани у Гаваи.
The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
21 И изыдоша сынове Вениаминовы из Гаваи, и избиша во Израили в той день двадесять две тысящы мужей на земли.
The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.
22 И укрепися всяк муж Израилев, и приложиша снитися на брань на место, идеже снидошася в день первый.
The people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
23 И взыдоша сынове Израилевы и плакашася пред Господем до вечера, и вопросиша Господа, глаголюще: аще приложим еще приступити на брань к сыном Вениаминим братиям нашым? И рече Господь: взыдите к ним.
The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” The LORD said, “Go up against him.”
24 И приидоша сынове Израилевы к сыном Вениаминим в день вторый.
The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 И изыдоша сынове Вениамини противу им от Гаваи в день вторый, и избиша еще от сынов Израилевых осмьнадесять тысящ мужей на земли: сии вси воздвизающии оружие.
Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.
26 И взыдоша вси сынове Израилевы и вси людие, и приидоша в Вефиль, и плакашася, и седоша тамо пред Господем, и постишася в той день даже до вечера:
Then all the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
27 и вознесоша всесожжение спасения пред Господем, яко тамо кивот завета Господа Бога во дни оны,
The children of Israel asked the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 и Финеес сын Елеазара сына Аароня предстоя пред ним в тыя дни. И вопросиша сынове Израилевы Господа, глаголюще: аще приложим взыти еще на брань к сыном Вениаминим братиям нашым, или оставим? И рече Господь: взыдите, заутра предам их в руки вашя.
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?” The LORD said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.”
29 И поставиша сынове Израилевы подсаду окрест Гаваи.
Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
30 И взыдоша сынове Израилевы к сыном Вениаминим в день третий: и ополчишася на Гаваю яко единою и единою.
The children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
31 И изыдоша сынове Вениамини противу людем и протягошася из града, и начаша убивати людий уязвленых, якоже первое и второе на путех, от нихже есть един сходяй в Вефиль, а другий в Гаваю на селе, яко тридесять мужей во Израили.
The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 И рекоша сынове Вениамини: падают пред нами якоже и прежде. И сынове Израилевы рекоша: побежим и отторгнем их от града на пути. И сотвориша тако.
The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let’s flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.”
33 И вси мужие Израилевы восташа от места своего и снидошася в Ваал-Фамаре: подсада же Израилева нахождаше от места своего от запада Гаваи.
All the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba.
34 И приидоша противу Гаваи десять тысящ мужей избранных от всего Израиля, и брань бяше тяжка: и тии не разумеша, яко постизает их зло.
Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that disaster was close to them.
35 И порази Господь Вениамина пред сыны Израилевыми: и избиша сынове Израилевы от Вениамина в той день двадесять пять тысящ и сто мужей: сии вси воздвизаху оружие.
The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and one hundred men. All these drew the sword.
36 И видеша сынове Вениамини, яко поражени суть. И даша место сынове Израилевы Вениамину, понеже уповаша на подсаду, юже подсадиша у Гаваи:
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck, for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
37 и подвижеся подсада, и устремися на Гаваю, и избиша весь град острием меча.
The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
38 И Израилтяне имяху знамение с подсадою брани, явити знамение дыма из града.
Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 И возвратися Израиль на брань, и Вениамин нача убивати язвеных во Израили до тридесяти мужей, яко рекоша: паки падением падают пред нами, якоже и первая брань.
The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.”
40 И знамение взыде наипаче над градом, аки столп дыма: и озреся Вениамин вспять, и се, взыде скончание града до небеси.
But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky.
41 И муж Израилев возвратися: и потщашася мужие Вениамини, видеша бо, яко постиже их зло,
The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on them.
42 и побегоша пред сыны Израилевыми на путь пустыни, брань же постиже их, и иже из градов избиваша их среде себе:
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it.
43 и побиваху Вениамина, и гнаша его от Нуа вслед его до Гаваи без опочивания, и поразиша его даже противу Гаваи на восток солнца.
They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah towards the sunrise.
44 И падоша от Вениамина осмьнадесять тысящ мужей, сии вси мужие сильнии.
Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valour.
45 И озрешася оставшии, и побегоша в пустыню к каменю Реммоню: и пожаша от них сынове Израилевы по стезям яко стеблие пять тысящ мужей, и гнаша вслед их до Гадаама и избиша от них две тысящы мужей.
They turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. They gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck two thousand men of them.
46 И быти всех падших от Вениамина в той день двадесять пять тысящ мужей воздвизающих оружие, вси сии мужие сильнии.
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valour.
47 И озрешася оставшии, и вбегоша в пустыню к каменю Реммоню шесть сот мужей, и седеша в камени Реммони четыри месяцы.
But six hundred men turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
48 Сынове же Израилевы возвратишася к сыном Вениаминим, и избиша я оружием от града вне, даже и до скота, и все еже обретеся во всех градех, и грады вся обретшыяся пожгоша огнем.
The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword—including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found on fire.
