Книга Неемии 13

1 В день той чтено бысть в книзе Моисеове во слышание людем, и обретеся написано в ней: да не имут внити Амманитяне и Моавитяне в церковь Божию даже до века,

And on that day did they reade in the booke of Moses, in the audience of the people, and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite, and the Moabite should not enter into the Congregation of God,

2 понеже не сретоша сынов Израилевых со хлебом и водою и наяша на них Валаама на проклятие их: и обрати Бог наш проклятство на благословение.

Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: and our God turned the curse into a blessing.

3 И бысть егда слышаху закон, и отлучиша всех чуждих от Израиля.

Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed.

4 И прежде сего Елиасив священник живяше в сокровищнем дому Бога нашего, сродник Товиин,

And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah:

5 и сотвори ему сокровищный дом велик: таможе бяху прежде приносяще жертву и ливан, и сосуды и десятину пшеницы и вина и елеа, уставленая левитом и певцем и дверником, и начатки священническия.

And he had made him a great chamber and there had they aforetime layde the offringes, the incense, and the vessels, and the tithes of corne, of wine, and of oyle (appointed for the Leuites, and the singers, and the porters) and the offringes of the Priests.

6 Во всех же сих не бых во Иерусалиме, понеже в лето тридесять второе Артаксеркса царя Вавилонскаго приидох ко царю: и по скончании дний испросих от царя

But in all this time was not I in Ierusalem: for in the two and thirtieth yere of Artahshashte King of Babel, came I vnto the King, and after certaine dayes I obteined of the King.

7 и приидох во Иерусалим, и уразумех зло, еже сотвори Елиасив Товии, сотворити ему сокровищный дом во дворе дому Божия,

And when I was come to Ierusalem, I vnderstood the euil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in that hee had made him a chamber in the court of the house of God,

8 и зло явися ми зело: и извергох вся сосуды дому Товиева вон из дому сокровищнаго,

And it grieued me sore: therefore I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah out of the chamber.

9 и рекох, и очистиша сокровищный дом: и возвратих онамо сосуды дому Божия, жертву и ливан.

And I commanded them to clense ye chambers: and thither brought I againe the vessels of the house of God with the meate offring and the incense.

10 И познах, яко части левитския не быша даны, и побегоша кийждо на село свое левити и певцы творящии дело.

And I perceiued that the portions of the Leuites had not bene giuen, and that euery one was fled to his lande, euen the Leuites and singers that executed the worke.

11 И пряхся со стратигами и рекох: чесо ради оставлен бысть дом Божий? И собрах их и поставих оных во стояниих своих.

Then reproued I the rulers and sayd, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I assembled them, and set them in their place.

12 И весь Иуда принесоша десятину пшеницы и вина и елеа в сокровища под руку Селемии священника и Садока писца и фадаии от левит,

Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures.

13 и при них Анан сын Закхуров, сын Матфаниев, яко верни искушени суть над ними разделяти братиям своим.

And I made treasurers ouer the treasures, Shelemiah the Priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Leuites, Pedaiah, and vnder their hande Hanan the sonne of Zaccur the sonne of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithfull, and their office was to distribute vnto their brethren.

14 Помяни мя, Боже, того ради, и да не погибнет милость моя, юже сотворих в дому Господа Бога моего и в чинех его.

Remember me, O my God, herein, and wipe not out my kindenes that I haue shewed on the house of my God, and on the offices thereof.

15 Во днех тех видех во Иуде топчущих точило в субботу, и носящих снопы, и возлагающих на ослы и вино, и гроздие, и смоквы, и всякое бремя, и носящих во Иерусалим во дни субботныя: и засвидетелствовах им в день продаяния их.

In those dayes saw I in Iudah them, that trode wine presses on ye Sabbath, and that brought in sheaues, and which laded asses also with wine, grapes, and figges, and all burdens, and brought them into Ierusalem vpon the Sabbath day: and I protested to them in the day that they sold vitailes.

16 И Тиряне обиташа в нем приносяще рыбы, и вся продаемая продающе в субботы сыновом Иудиным и во Иерусалиме.

There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein, which brought fish and all wares, and solde on the Sabbath vnto the children of Iudah euen in Ierusalem.

17 И обличих сынов Иудиных свободных и рекох им: что сия вещь злая, юже вы творите, и скверните день субботный?

Then reprooued I the rulers of Iudah, and sayd vnto them, What euil thing is this that yee doe, and breake the Sabbath day?

18 Не сия ли сотвориша отцы ваши, и наведе на них Бог наш и на нас вся злая сия, и на град сей, и вы прилагаете гнев на Израиля, скверняще субботу?

Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought all this plague vpon vs, and vpon this citie? yet yee increase the wrath vpon Israel, in breaking the Sabbath.

19 Бысть же егда поставишася врата во Иерусалиме прежде субботы, и рекох, и запроша двери и повелех, да не отверзают их даже по субботе: и от отрок моих поставих над враты, да ни един вносит бремя в день субботный.

And when the gates of Ierusalem beganne to be darke before the Sabbath, I commaded to shut the gates, and charged, that they should not be opened til after the Sabbath, and some of my seruants set I at the gates, that there shoulde no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.

20 И сташа вси и творяху куплю вне Иерусалима единощи и дващи.

So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem.

21 И засвидетелствовах о них и рекох им: что вы пребываете пред стеною? Аще вторицею сие сотворите, простру руку мою на вас. И от времене того не приидоша в субботу.

And I protested among them, and said vnto them, Why tary ye all night about the wall? If ye do it once againe, I will lay hands vpon you. from that time came they no more on the Sabbath.

22 И рекох левитом, иже бяху очищени, дабы приходили хранити врат и святити день субботный. И сих ради помяни мя, Боже, и прости ми по множеству милости Твоея.

And I sayde vnto the Leuites, that they should clense themselues, and that they shoulde come and keepe the gates, to sanctifie the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and pardon me according to thy great mercy.

23 И во днех онех видех Иудеев поемших жены Азотския, Амманитяны, Моавитския,

In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.

24 и сынове их от полу глаголаху азотским языком и не умеяху глаголати иудейски:

And their children spake halfe in ye speach of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, and according to the language of the one people, and of the other people.

25 и запретих им, и проклях их, и поразих от них мужей, и оплеших их, и заклях их Богом, аще дадите дщери вашя сыновом их и аще поймете от дщерей их сыновом вашым и себе:

Then I reprooued them, and cursed them, and smote certaine of them, and pulled off their heare, and tooke an othe of them by God, Yee shall not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take of their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor for your selues.

26 не тако ли согреши Соломон царь Израилев? И во языцех мнозех не бысть царь подобен ему, и возлюблен Богу бе, и постави его Бог царем над всем Израилем, и того прельстиша жены чуждия:

Did not Salomon the king of Israel sinne by these thinges? yet among many nations was there no King like him: for he was beloued of his God, and God had made him King ouer Israel: yet strange women caused him to sinne.

27 и мы послушаем ли вас творити всяко зло сие, согрешити Богу нашему, еже пояти жены иноплеменничи?

Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues?

28 И от сынов Иоада сына Ельтува священника великаго, зятя Санаваллатова Уранитина, и изгнах его от мене.

And one of the sonnes of Ioiada the sonne of Eliashib the hie Priest was the sonne in law of Sanballat the Horonite: but I chased him from me.

29 Помяни им, Боже, за осквернение священства и завета священническа и левитска.

Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites.

30 И очистих их от всякия чуждия нечистоты, и поставих чреды священником и левитом, комуждо по делу его,

Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office,

31 и даяние древес во временех уставленых и первородных. Помяни мя, Боже наш, во благое.

And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.
