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 Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many 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 least those who knew nothing of it before:
3 пять воеводств иноплеменнических, и всего Хананеа и Сидония, и Евеа живущаго в Ливане от горы Ваал-Ермон до Лавоемафа.
the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
4 И бысть да искусит ими Израиля, да увесть, аще послушают заповедий Господних, яже заповеда отцем их рукою Моисеовою.
They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to Yahweh’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
5 И сынове Израилевы обиташа посреде Хананеа и Хеттеа, и Аморреа и Ферезеа, и Евеа и Гергесеа и Иевусеа,
The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
6 и пояша дщери их себе в жены, и дщери своя даша сыном их, и послужиша богом их.
They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own 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.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
8 И разгневася яростию Господь на Израиля и предаде их в руки Хусарсафема царя Месопотамии Сирския: и работаша сынове Израилевы Хусарсафему лет осмь.
Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.
9 И возопиша сынове Израилевы ко Господу. И возстави Господь спасителя Израилю, и спасе их, Гофониила, сына Кенеза брата Халевова юнейшаго его.
When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved 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.
Yahweh’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 И бысть в покои земля четыредесять лет. И умре Гофониил сын Кенезов.
The land had rest forty years, then 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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
13 И собра к себе вся сыны Аммони и Амаликовы: и иде, и порази Израиля, и взя град Финическ.
He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 И работаша сынове Израилевы Еглому царю Моавлю лет осмьнадесять.
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 Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
16 И сотвори себе Аод нож обоюдуостр, на пядь едину долгота его, и припояса его под ризу по бедре десней своей.
Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 И иде, и принесе дары Еглому царю Моавлю: Еглом же муж добротелесен бе зело.
He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 И бысть егда сконча Аод принося дары, и отсла носящих дары:
When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried 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 from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said, “Keep silence!” All who stood by him left 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.
Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, “I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of 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:
Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
22 и втисне и рукоять за острием, и заключи тук за острием, яко не извлече ножа из чрева его, (и изыде лайно).
The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
23 И изыде Аод в притвор, и пройде стрегущих, и затвори двери горницы за собою и заключи,
Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on 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?
After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said, “Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”
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.
They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.
26 И Аод спасеся внегда смущахуся, и не бе помышляющаго о нем: а он прейде идолы, и спасеся в Сетирофе.
Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.
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.
When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led 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.
He said to them, “Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any 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.
They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.
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. Then 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.
After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.
