Четвертая книга Царств 4
1 И жена едина от сынов пророчих возопи ко Елиссею, глаголющи: раб твой муж мой умре, ты же веси, яко раб твой бе бояся Господа: и заимодавец прииде взяти два сына моя себе в рабы.
Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
2 И рече Елиссей: что сотворю ти? Повеждь ми, что имаши ныне в дому? Она же рече: несть у рабы твоея ничтоже в дому, токмо мало елеа, имже помажуся.
Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
3 И рече к ней: иди, испроси себе сосуды отвне от всех сосед твоих, сосуды праздны, не умали:
Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbours. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
4 и вниди, и затвори дверь за собою и за сынома твоима, и влиеши (от елеа твоего) во вся сосуды сия, и наполненное возмеши.
Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
5 И отиде от него и сотвори тако, и затвори дверь за собою и за сынома своима: та приношаста к ней, она же вливаше:
So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
6 и бысть егда наполнишася вси сосуды, и рече сынома своима: приближита ми еще сосуд. И реста ей: несть еще сосуда. И ста елей.
When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 И прииде и возвести человеку Божию. И рече Елиссей: иди и продаждь сей елей, и заплати лихву твою, и ты и сына твоя жити будете от оставшаго елеа.
Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
8 И бысть во един день, и прейде Елиссей в Соман, и ту жена велия и удержа его снести хлеба: и бысть ему входити и исходити множицею, и уклоняшеся тамо ясти хлеба.
One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
9 И рече жена к мужу своему: се, ныне разумех, яко человек Божий свят сей мимо ходит нас присно:
She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10 сотворим убо ему горницу, место мало, и поставим ему тамо одр и трапезу, и престол и свещник: и будет внегда входити ему к нам, и уклоняется тамо.
Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
11 И бысть во един день, и вниде тамо, и уклонися в горницу, и спа тамо.
One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
12 И рече ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: призови ми Соманитяныню сию. И призва ю, и ста пред ним.
He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
13 И рече ему: рцы убо ей: се, удивила еси нас всем попечением сим: что подобает сотворити тебе? Аще есть тебе слово к царю или ко князю силы? Она же рече: (несть, ) посреде людий моих аз есмь живущи.
He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell amongst my own people.”
14 И рече ко Гиезию: что подобает сотворити ей? И рече Гиезий отрочищь его: воистинну сына несть у нея и муж ея стар.
He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 И рече призови ю. И призва ю, и ста при дверех.
He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 И рече Елиссей к ней: во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, ты зачнеши сына. Она же рече: ни, господине, не солжи рабе твоей.
He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
17 И зачат во чреве жена, и роди сына во время сие, якоже час сей живущи, якоже глагола к ней Елиссей.
The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18 И возмужа отрочищь. И бысть, егда изыде ко отцу своему, к жнущым,
When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 и рече ко отцу своему: глава моя, глава моя (болит). И рече ко отроку: неси его к матери его.
He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 И несе его к матери его, и лежаше на колену ея до полудне, и умре.
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21 И вознесе его, и положи его на одре человека Божия: и затвори его, и изыде, и призва мужа своего, и рече ему:
She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
22 посли ми убо единаго от отрок, и едино от ослят, и теку до человека Божия, и возвращуся.
She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
23 И рече: что яко ты идеши к нему днесь? Не нов месяц, ниже суббота. Она же рече: мир.
He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
24 И оседла осля, и рече ко отрочищу своему: веди, и иди, да не удержиши мене, еже всести, якоже реку тебе: гряди, и иди, и прииди к человеку Божию на гору Кармилскую.
Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
25 И иде, и прииде до человека Божия в гору Кармилскую. И бысть яко виде ю Елиссей грядущую, и рече ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: се, убо Соманитяныня оная:
So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
26 ныне тецы во сретение ея и речеши ей: мир ли тебе? И тече во сретение ей и рече ей: мир ли тебе? Мир ли мужу твоему, мир ли отрочищу твоему? Она же рече: мир.
Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
27 И прииде ко Елиссею на гору, и ятся за нозе его. И приближнся Гиезий отринути ю. И рече Елиссей: остави ю, яко душа ея болезненна в ней, и Господь укры от мене и не возвести мне.
When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28 Она же рече: еда просих сына у господина моего, яко рекох: не прельсти мене?
Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29 И рече Елиссей ко Гиезию: препояши чресла твоя и возми жезл мой в руце твои, и иди, яко аще обрящеши мужа, да не благословиши его, и аще благословит тя муж, не отвещай ему: и возложи жезл мой на лице отрочища.
Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
30 И рече мати отрочища: жив Господь и жива душа твоя, аще оставлю тебе. И воста Елиссей и иде вслед ея.
The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
31 И Гиезий иде пред нею, и возложи жезл на лице отрочища, и не бе гласа, и не бе слышания. И возвратися во сретение его и поведа ему глаголя: не воста отрочищь.
Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32 И вниде Елиссей в храмину, и се, отрочищь умерый положен на одре его.
When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33 И вниде Елиссей в дом и затвори дверь за двою собою, и помолися Господу.
He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.
34 И взыде, и ляже на отрочищи, и положи уста своя на устех его, и очи свои на очи его, и руце свои на руце его, и плесне свои на плесну его: и слячеся над ним, и дуну на него, и согреся плоть отрочища.
He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
35 И обратися, и походи в храмине сюду и сюду: и взыде, и слячеся над отрочищем седмижды, и отверзе отрочищь очи свои.
Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 И возопи Елиссей ко Гиезию и рече: призови ми Соманитяныню сию. И призва ю, и вниде к нему. И рече Елиссей: приими сына твоего.
He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
37 И вниде жена, и паде на ногу его, и поклонися ему до земли: и прият сына своего, и изыде.
Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
38 И Елиссей возвратися в Галгалы. И бе глад в земли той, и сынове пророчи седяху пред ним. И рече Елиссей отрочищу своему: настави коноб велий и свари варение сыном пророчим.
Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 И изыде един на село собрати зелия дивия: и обрет виноград на селе, и набра в нем яблока дивияго полну ризу свою, и всыпа в котел на сварение, яко не разумеша,
One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognise them.
40 и принесе мужем ясти. И бысть ядущым им от варения, и се, возопиша и реша: смерть в конобе, человече Божий. И не могоша ясти.
So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
41 И рече: возмите муки и всыплите в коноб. И рече Елиссей ко Гиезию отрочищу своему: изнеси людем, да ядят. И не бысть ктому злаго глагола в конобе.
But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
42 И муж прииде от Вефариса и принесе к человеку Божию первородных двадесять хлебов ячменных и смоквы. И рече: дадите людем, да ядят.
A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
43 И рече отрок его: что дам сие сту мужем? И рече: даждь людем я, да ядят, яко сице глаголет Господь: будут ясти, и останет.
His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
44 И ядоша, и оста по глаголу Господню.
So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
