Лѣ́та вторагона́десять ца́рства Навуходоно́сора, и́же ца́рствова надъ Ассирі́аны въ Ніневі́і гра́дѣ вели́цѣмъ, во дни́ Арфакса́да, и́же ца́рствова надъ ми́дяны во єквата́нѣхъ

¹

In the twelfth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, who reigned in Nineve, the great city; in the days of Arphaxad, which reigned over the Medes in Ecbatane,

²

и созда́ во єквата́нѣхъ о́крестъ стѣ́ны от ка́меней те́саныхъ въ широту́ ла́ктей тріє́хъ, а въ долготу́ ла́ктей шести́, и сотвори́ высоту́ стѣны́ ла́ктей седми́десяти, а широту́ єя́ ла́ктей пяти́десяти:

²

and built in Ecbatane walls round about of stones hewn three cubits broad and six cubits long, and made the height of the wall seventy cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits:

³

и столпы́ єя́ поста́ви на вратѣ́хъ єго́ ла́ктей сто́, и широту́ и́хъ основа́ на ла́ктей шестьдеся́тъ:

³

and set the towers thereof upon the gates of it, an hundred cubits high, and the breadth thereof in the foundation threescore cubits:

⁴

и сотвори́ врата́ єго́ врата́ воздви́жена въ высоту́ ла́ктей седмьдесятъ, а широту́ и́хъ ла́ктей четы́редесять ко исхо́ду си́лъ си́льныхъ єго́ и устроє́ніємъ пѣшце́въ єго́:

⁴

and he made the gates thereof, even gates that were raised to the height of seventy cubits, and the breadth of them was forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty armies, and for the setting in array of his footmen:

⁵

и сотвори́ бра́нь во дни́ о́ны ца́рь Навуходоно́соръ на царя́ Арфакса́да на по́ли вели́цѣмъ, є́же є́сть въ предѣ́лѣхъ Рага́влихъ.

⁵

Even in those days king Nabuchodonosor made war with king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is the plain in the borders of Ragau.

⁶

И собра́шася къ нему́ вси́ живу́щіи въ го́рней и вси́ обита́ющіи при Євфра́тѣ и Ті́грѣ и ида́спи и на по́ли Аріо́ха царя́ Єлимео́нска, и собра́шася язы́цы мно́зи зѣло́ на ополче́ніє сыно́въ хелеу́дихъ.

⁶

And there came unto him all they that dwelt in the hill country, and all that dwelt by Euphrates, and Tigris, and Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymeans, and very many nations of the sons of Cheleul, assembled themselves to the battle.

⁷

И посла́ Навуходоно́соръ ца́рь Ассирі́йскій ко всѣ́мъ обита́ющымъ въ персі́дѣ и ко всѣ́мъ живу́щымъ къ за́падомъ, обита́ющымъ въ кілікі́и и дама́сцѣ, и Ліва́нѣ и антіліва́нѣ, и ко всѣ́мъ живу́щымъ на лицы́ примо́рія,

⁷

Then Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians sent unto all that dwelt in Persia, and to all that dwelt westward, and to those that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Libanus, and Antilibanus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea coast,

⁸

и къ су́щымъ во язы́цѣхъ карми́ла и въ Галаа́дѣ, и въ вы́шней Галіле́и и на вели́цѣмъ по́ли єсдрило́на,

⁸

and to those among the nations that were of Carmel, and Galaad, and the higher Galilee, and the great plain of Esdrelom,

⁹

и ко всѣ́мъ су́щымъ въ самарі́и и градѣ́хъ єя́, и объ о́нъ по́лъ Іорда́на да́же до Ієрусали́ма и вета́ни, и хе́лла и Ка́диса, и рѣки́ Єги́петскія и тафны́, и Рамесси́ и всея́ земли́ Гесе́мскія,

⁹

and to all that were in Samaria and the cities thereof, and beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, and Chellus, and Kades, and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and Ramesse, and all the land of Gesem,

¹⁰

до́ндеже пріити́ вы́ше та́ниса и ме́мфиса, и ко всѣ́мъ обита́ющымъ во Єги́птѣ, до́ндеже пріити́ на предѣ́лы єѳіо́піи.

¹⁰

until ye come beyond Tanis and Memphis, and to all the inhabitants of Egypt, until ye come to the borders of Ethiopia.

¹¹

И ни во что́ вмѣни́ша вси́ обита́ющіи по все́й земли́ сло́во Навуходоно́сора царя́ Ассирі́йска, и не снидо́шася къ нему́ на бра́нь, поне́же не боя́шася єго́, но бы́сть предъ ни́ми а́ки му́жъ єди́нъ: и возврати́ша посла́нниковъ єго́ тщи́хъ со безче́стіємъ от лица́ своєго́.

¹¹

But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.

¹²

И разъяри́ся Навуходоно́соръ на вся́ку зе́млю сію́ зѣло́, и кля́тся престо́ломъ и ца́рствомъ свои́мъ вся́чески отмсти́ти всѣ́мъ предѣ́ломъ кілікі́и и Дама́ска и сирі́и, погуби́ти мече́мъ свои́мъ и вся́ живу́щыя въ земли́ Моа́вли и сы́ны Аммони, и всю́ Іуде́ю и всѣ́хъ су́щихъ во Єги́птѣ, до́ндеже пріити́ на предѣ́лы дву́хъ мо́рь.

¹²

Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.

¹³

И ополчи́ся въ си́лѣ своє́й на Арфакса́да царя́ въ лѣ́то седмоєна́десять, и одолѣ́ на бра́ни своє́й, и побѣди́ всю́ си́лу Арфакса́дову и всю́ ко́нницу єго́ и вся́ колесни́цы єго́,

¹³

Then he marched in battle array with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots,

¹⁴

и возоблада́ гра́дами єго́: и пріи́де да́же до єквата́нъ, и одержа́ столпы́, и плѣни́ сто́гны єго́, и красоту́ єго́ положи́ во уничиже́ніє єго́:

¹⁴

and became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecbatane, and took the towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.

¹⁵

и взя́ Арфакса́да на гора́хъ Рага́влихъ, и избоде́ єго́ су́лицами свои́ми, и истреби́ єго́ да́же въ де́нь о́ный:

¹⁵

He took also Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day.

¹⁶

и возврати́ся съ ни́ми въ Ніневі́ю са́мъ и все́ присовокупле́ніє єго́, мно́жество муже́й ра́тныхъ мно́гоє зѣло́, и бѣ́ та́мо почива́я и пи́ршествуя са́мъ и си́ла єго́ дні́й сто́ два́десять.

¹⁶

So he returned afterward to Nineve, both he and all his company of sundry nations, being a very great multitude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both he and his army, an hundred and twenty days.
