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 they read in the scroll of Moses in the audience of the people; and in it was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,
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 did not meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: however our God turned the curse into a blessing.
3 И бысть егда слышаху закон, и отлучиша всех чуждих от Израиля.
It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
4 И прежде сего Елиасив священник живяше в сокровищнем дому Бога нашего, сродник Товиин,
Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied 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.
had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for 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, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta king of Babylon I went to the king: and after certain days asked I 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 understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God's house.
8 и зло явися ми зело: и извергох вся сосуды дому Товиева вон из дому сокровищнаго,
It grieved me severely: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the room.
9 и рекох, и очистиша сокровищный дом: и возвратих онамо сосуды дому Божия, жертву и ливан.
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms: and there brought I again the vessels of God's house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.
10 И познах, яко части левитския не быша даны, и побегоша кийждо на село свое левити и певцы творящии дело.
I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled everyone 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 I contended with the rulers, and said, "Why is God's house forsaken?" I gathered them together, 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 Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.
13 и при них Анан сын Закхуров, сын Матфаниев, яко верни искушени суть над ними разделяти братиям своим.
And I commanded Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites be in charge of the storerooms. And next to them was Hanan the son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, for they were considered trustworthy, and their responsibility was the distribution to their brothers.
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, my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
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 men treading winepresses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.
16 И Тиряне обиташа в нем приносяще рыбы, и вся продаемая продающе в субботы сыновом Иудиным и во Иерусалиме.
There lived men of Tyre also in it, who brought in fish, and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the people 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 to them, "What evil thing is this that you do, and profane 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 do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us, and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on 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.
It came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.
20 И сташа вси и творяху куплю вне Иерусалима единощи и дващи.
So 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.
Then I testified against them, and said to them, "Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you." From that time on, they did not come 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.
I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember to me, my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.
23 И во днех онех видех Иудеев поемших жены Азотския, Амманитяны, Моавитския,
In those days also saw I the Jews who had married women 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 half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each 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:
I contended with them, and cursed them, and struck certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or 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 king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.
27 и мы послушаем ли вас творити всяко зло сие, согрешити Богу нашему, еже пояти жены иноплеменничи?
Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?"
28 И от сынов Иоада сына Ельтува священника великаго, зятя Санаваллатова Уранитина, и изгнах его от мене.
One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
29 Помяни им, Боже, за осквернение священства и завета священническа и левитска.
Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priests, and of the Levites.
30 И очистих их от всякия чуждия нечистоты, и поставих чреды священником и левитом, комуждо по делу его,
Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners, and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;
31 и даяние древес во временех уставленых и первородных. Помяни мя, Боже наш, во благое.
and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
