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,
On that day there was read in the book of Moses before the ears of the people; and there was found written therein, that no 'Ammonite or Moabite should come into the congregation of God for ever;
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 had not met the children of Israel with bread and with water, but had hired Bil'am against them, that he should curse them; although our God had changed the curse into a blessing.
3 И бысть егда слышаху закон, и отлучиша всех чуждих от Израиля.
And it tame to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the alien mixture from Israel.
4 И прежде сего Елиасив священник живяше в сокровищнем дому Бога нашего, сродник Товиин,
And before this, Elyashib the priest, appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, and a near [of kin] unto Tobiyah,
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.
Had prepared for him a large chamber, where they had laid in former times the meat-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was ordained for the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the heave-offering 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 during all this I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king of Babylon I went back unto the king, and after the lapse of some time I obtained by request [leave] of the king;
7 и приидох во Иерусалим, и уразумех зло, еже сотвори Елиасив Товии, сотворити ему сокровищный дом во дворе дому Божия,
And I came to Jerusalem, and perceived the evil that Elyashib had done for Tobiyah, in preparing for him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
8 и зло явися ми зело: и извергох вся сосуды дому Товиева вон из дому сокровищнаго,
And it displeased me greatly: wherefore I cast forth all the household vessels of Tobiyah away out of the chamber.
9 и рекох, и очистиша сокровищный дом: и возвратих онамо сосуды дому Божия, жертву и ливан.
And I gave the order, whereupon they cleansed the chambers; and I had brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat-offering and the frankincense.
10 И познах, яко части левитския не быша даны, и побегоша кийждо на село свое левити и певцы творящии дело.
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given [them]: so that the Levites and the singers, that used to do the work, were fled every one to his field.
11 И пряхся со стратигами и рекох: чесо ради оставлен бысть дом Божий? И собрах их и поставих оных во стояниих своих.
Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why hath the house of God become forsaken? And I gathered them together, and placed them on their posts.
12 И весь Иуда принесоша десятину пшеницы и вина и елеа в сокровища под руку Селемии священника и Садока писца и фадаии от левит,
And all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
13 и при них Анан сын Закхуров, сын Матфаниев, яко верни искушени суть над ними разделяти братиям своим.
And I appointed receivers over the treasuries, Shelemyah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and Pedayah of the Levites; and with them acted Chanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Matthanyah; for they were accounted as faithful, and it was their duty to make a distribution among 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, concerning this, and wipe not out my pious deeds which I have done for the house of my God, and for those that had charge of it.
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 days I saw in Judah some treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading burdens on asses, as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I warned them on the day whereon they sold provisions.
16 И Тиряне обиташа в нем приносяще рыбы, и вся продаемая продающе в субботы сыновом Иудиным и во Иерусалиме.
Also the men of Tyre [that] dwelt therein brought fish and all kinds of wares, and sold [them] on the sabbath unto the children of Judah and in Jerusalem.
17 И обличих сынов Иудиных свободных и рекох им: что сия вещь злая, юже вы творите, и скверните день субботный?
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this which ye are doing, and profaning [thereby] 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 act thus, wherefore our God brought over us all this evil, and over this city? and ye bring yet more wrath over Israel by profaning 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 it came to pass, that, when the shadows were lengthened in the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I gave the order, whereupon the gates were locked, and I ordered that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my young men did I place at the gates, that there should be brought in no burden on the sabbath-day.
20 И сташа вси и творяху куплю вне Иерусалима единощи и дващи.
But the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
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.
Thereupon did I warn them, and said unto them, Why do ye lodge along the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came 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 ordered the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep watch at the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also this remember unto me, O my God, and shield me according to the abundance of thy kindness.
23 И во днех онех видех Иудеев поемших жены Азотския, Амманитяны, Моавитския,
In those days also I saw certain Jews that had brought home wives of Ashdod, of 'Ammon, and of Moab:
24 и сынове их от полу глаголаху азотским языком и не умеяху глаголати иудейски:
And their children spoke partly in the speech of Ashdod, and did not understand to speak in the Jewish language, but according to the language of one or 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:
And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, nor for yourselves.
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 Solomon the king of Israel sin by these things? and although among the many nations there was never a king like him, and beloved as he was by his God, and God had placed him as king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did the alien women mislead to sin.
27 и мы послушаем ли вас творити всяко зло сие, согрешити Богу нашему, еже пояти жены иноплеменничи?
Shall we then hear it said of you, that ye do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in bringing home alien wives?
28 И от сынов Иоада сына Ельтува священника великаго, зятя Санаваллатова Уранитина, и изгнах его от мене.
And one of the sons of Joyada', the son of Elyashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Choronite; wherefore I chased him away from me.
29 Помяни им, Боже, за осквернение священства и завета священническа и левитска.
Remember [this] unto them, O my God, because of the defilements of the priesthood, and of the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
30 И очистих их от всякия чуждия нечистоты, и поставих чреды священником и левитом, комуждо по делу его,
Thus cleansed I them from all aliens, and I appointed the watches of the priests and the Levites, every one in his work;
31 и даяние древес во временех уставленых и первородных. Помяни мя, Боже наш, во благое.
And for the procuring of the wood, at fixed time, and for the first-fruits. Remember this unto me, O my God, for good.
