Книга Судей израилевых 3
1 И сия языки, яже остави Господь, да искусит ими Израиля, вся неведущыя браней Ханаанских,
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 токмо ради родов сынов Израилевых, еже научити я брани, обаче иже прежде их не уведаша их:
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it;
3 пять воеводств иноплеменнических, и всего Хананеа и Сидония, и Евеа живущаго в Ливане от горы Ваал-Ермон до Лавоемафа.
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon to the entrance of Hamath.
4 И бысть да искусит ими Израиля, да увесть, аще послушают заповедий Господних, яже заповеда отцем их рукою Моисеовою.
And they were to test Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 И сынове Израилевы обиташа посреде Хананеа и Хеттеа, и Аморреа и Ферезеа, и Евеа и Гергесеа и Иевусеа,
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
6 и пояша дщери их себе в жены, и дщери своя даша сыном их, и послужиша богом их.
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 И сотвориша сынове Израилевы злое пред Господем и забыша Господа Бога своего, и послужиша Ваалу и Дубравам.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
8 И разгневася яростию Господь на Израиля и предаде их в руки Хусарсафема царя Месопотамии Сирския: и работаша сынове Израилевы Хусарсафему лет осмь.
Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
9 И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу. И возстави Господь спасителя Израилю, и спасе их, Гофониила, сына Кенеза брата Халевова юнейшаго его.
And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 И бысть на нем Дух Господень, и суди Израиля. И изыде на рать к Хусарсафему: и предаде Господь в руце его Хусарсафема царя Сирска, и укрепися рука его над Хусарсафемом.
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
11 И бысть в покои земля четыредесять лет. И умре Гофониил сын Кенезов.
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
12 И приложиша сынове Израилевы сотворити злое пред Господем: и укрепи Господь Еглома царя Моавля на Израиля, занеже сотвориша злое пред Господем.
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 И собра к себе вся сыны Аммони и Амаликовы: и иде, и порази Израиля, и взя град Финическ.
And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 И работаша сынове Израилевы Еглому царю Моавлю лет осмьнадесять.
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
15 И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу: и возстави им Господь спасителя, Аода сына Гираня, сына Иемениина, мужа ободесноручна: и послаша сынове Израилевы дары рукою его Еглому царю Моавлю.
But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
16 И сотвори себе Аод нож обоюдуостр, на пядь едину долгота его, и припояса его под ризу по бедре десней своей.
But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
17 И иде, и принесе дары Еглому царю Моавлю: Еглом же муж добротелесен бе зело.
And he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
18 И бысть егда сконча Аод принося дары, и отсла носящих дары:
And when he had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bore the tribute.
19 и Еглом обратися от идол иже в Галгалех. И рече Аод: слово мне есть к тебе тайно, царю. И рече Еглом к нему: молчи. И отсла от себе всех предстоящих пред ним.
But he himself turned back at the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
20 И Аод вниде к нему. Сей же седяше в горнице летней своей един. И рече Аод: слово Божие мне к тебе, царю. И воста Еглом со престола близ его.
And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from his seat.
21 И бысть егда воста, и простре Аод руку левую свою, и извлече нож, иже над стегном его десным, и вонзе во чрево егломово:
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22 и втисне и рукоять за острием, и заключи тук за острием, яко не извлече ножа из чрева его, (и изыде лайно).
And the handle also entered after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
23 И изыде Аод в притвор, и пройде стрегущих, и затвори двери горницы за собою и заключи,
Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
24 и сам изыде. И раби его приидоша и узреша, и се, двери горницы заключены, и реша: еда у потребы седит во отлучении ложа?
When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
25 И преждаша дондеже посрамишася: и се, не бысть отверзаяй двери горницы. И взяша ключь, и отверзоша: и се, господин их лежит на земли мертв.
And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
26 И Аод спасеся внегда смущахуся, и не бе помышляющаго о нем: а он прейде идолы, и спасеся в Сетирофе.
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.
27 И бысть егда прииде Аод в землю Израилеву, и воструби рогом в горе Ефремли: и снидоша с ним с горы сынове Израилевы, и той пред ними.
And it came to pass, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
28 И рече к ним: идите вслед мене, яко предаде Господь Бог враги нашя Моавляны в руки нашя. И идоша вслед его, и предвзяша преходы Иордана Моавля, и ни единому мужу попустиша преити.
And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and permitted not a man to pass over.
29 И избиша Моава в то время яко десять тысящ мужей, вся воины, иже в них, и всякаго мужа сильна: и ни един муж спасеся.
And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all stout, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
30 И пременися Моав в той день под руку Израилеву, и бысть в покои земля осмьдесят лет: и суди их Аод дондеже умре.
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
31 И по нем воста Самегар сын Анафов: и изби иноплеменников шесть сот мужей ралом воловым: и спасе и сей Израиля.
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
