¹

И$ по словесе'хъ сиX, и^ и^стин#нњ се'и. прїи'де сенахериM цр~ь а^сљ=рїи'скїи и^ вни'де въ і^у^де'ю ѓ^б#стоя` гра'ды запа'систы хотя'щи възяти и^хъ”

¹

And after these things and this faithful dealing, came Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, and he came to Juda, and encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to take them for himself.

²

Є$гда' же ви'дњ і^е^зекїа и^же прихо'диT сенахери'мъ. проти'вђ лица` е^го вое^ва'ти на і^ерsли'мъ”

²

And Ezekias saw that Sennacherim was come, and that his face was set to fight against Jerusalem.

³

НачаT съ кня'ѕи е^го совњтъ, и^ мђж'и же крњпча'ишими. да запира'ютъ главы` и^сто'чникомъ и^же бњша вн^њ гра'да” И$ быs совњтъ е^го бл~гъ.

³

And he took counsel with his elders and his mighty men to stop the wells of water which were without the city: and they helped him.

⁴

и^ собра` мно'го мно'жество людїи. и^ запроша вс^и и^сто'чницы воDныя и^ пото'къ и^же лїашеся по'средњ града гл~ющи. да не прїидеT цр~ь а^сљ=рїискїи ѓ^бря'щетъ воD мно'го и^ ё^крњпиTся”

⁴

And he collected many people, and stopped the wells of water, and the river that flowed through the city, saying, Lest the king of Assyria come, and find much water, and strengthen himself.

⁵

И$ ё^крњпи'ся е^зекїа, и^ созда` вс^я стњны и^же бы'ша рассы'паны. и^ столпы` на не'и, і^ и^зъ внђ` и%нђю стњ'нђ” Въздви'же же разрђшеная въ' градњ двд~вњ. поправи` и^ сътвори` ѓ^рђжїи` мно'го и^ щи'тоv”

⁵

And Ezekias strengthened himself, and built all the wall that had been pulled down, and the towers, and another wall in front without, and fortified the strong place of the city of David, and prepared arms in abundance.

⁶

И$ постави же нача'лники бра'немъ наD лю'дми въ во'ю. и^ созва` всњхъ на пло'щадь до вра'тъ дебри`. и^ гл~алъ е^сть въ срDца иX гл~ющи

⁶

And he appointed captains of war over the people, and they were gathered to meet him to the open place of the gate of the valley, and he encouraged them, saying,

⁷

мђжественњ дњ'лаите и^ ё^крњпи'теся, не ё^страша'итеся ни ё^жаса'итеся эT лица` цр~я а^сљ=рїиска. и^ всего` мно'жества ли'цъ и^же сђть с ни'мъ” ЈА/ко мно'го множа'е с на'ми сђть не'же с тњмъ.

⁷

Be strong and courageous, and fear not, neither be dismayed before the king of Assyria, and before all the nation that is with him: for there are more with us than with him.

⁸

с тњмъ б^о е^сть мы'ш#ца пло'тьная. с на'ми же г~ь б~ъ на'шъ помо'щникъ на'шъ. и^ ѓ^полчи'тъ же ся за на'съ” Оу^крњплени' же сђть лю'ди словесы` і^е^зекїя цр~я і^ё'дина”

⁸

With him are arms of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to save us, and to fight our battle. And the people were encouraged at the words of Ezekias king of Juda.

⁹

И$ посе'мъ посла` сенахери'мъ цр~ь а^сљ=рїискїи рабы` своя` въ і^ерsли'мъ. и^ самъ съ всњми` во'и ѓ^бъстоа'ше лахи'съ. и^ посла` къ і^е^зекїи` цр~ю і^ё'динђ, и^ къ всњмъ людеM и^же бњхђ въ і^ерsлимњ гл~щи”

⁹

And afterward Sennacherim king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem; and he went himself against Lachis, and all his army with him, and sent to Ezekias king of Juda, and to all Juda that was in Jerusalem, saying,

¹⁰

Сїя гл~етъ сенахериM цр~ь а^сљ=рїскїи. въ чемъ в^ы ё^поваете сњдя'ще въ ѓbстоа'нїи і^ерsли'мовњ.

¹⁰

Thus says Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, On what do ye trust, that ye will remain in the siege in Jerusalem?

¹¹

не' ли і^е^зекїя прельща'етъ васъ да преда'сть в^ы въ смр~ть, въ глаD и^ жа'ждђ. ё^крњпля'ющи и^же г~ь б~ъ ва'шъ и^зба'виT васъ эT рђкђ цр~я а^сљ=рїиска”

¹¹

Does not Ezekias deceive you, to deliver you to death and famine and thirst, saying, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

¹²

Не се л^и се'й е^сть і^езекїя и^же разори` вы'шъняя ѓ^лта'ри е^го. и^ повелњ і^ё'дњ і^ и^ерsлимђ гл~ющи. преD ѓ^лта'ремъ сиM покланя'итеся. и^ в немъ сожига'ите џемїа'мъ”

¹²

Is not this Ezekias who has taken down his altars and his high places, and has spoken to Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before this altar, and burn incense upon it?

¹³

Ни ли` в^ы не вњ'сте чт^о а%зъ сътвори'хъ и^ эTц~ы мои` всњмъ зем#скымъ людемъ. и^ не премого'шA вс^и бо'ѕи ја^зы'ковъ и^зба'вити странђ` свою` эT рђкђ мое'ю.

¹³

Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the nations of the countries? Could the gods of the nations of all the earth at all rescue their people out of my hand?

¹⁴

кт^о е^сть эT въсњхъ бо'говъ ја^зы'къ си'хъ. и^хже и^скорениша эTц~ы мои`. не мо'глъ н^и е^ді'нъ и^зба'вити лю'ди своя` эT рђ'кђ мое'ю. да ја^ко мо'жетъ па'ки б~ъ ваj и^зба'вити васъ эT рђки` мое'я.

¹⁴

Who is there among all the gods of those nations whom my fathers utterly destroyed, worthy of trust? Could they deliver their people out of my hand, that your God should deliver you out of my hand?

¹⁵

и^ нн~њ васъ да не прельсти'тъ і^е^зекїя да не ё^пова'ти ваs сътвориT посемђ`, и^ не вњ'рђите е^мђ” А/ще б^о ни е^ді'нъ мо'глъ б~ъ всњхъ стра'нъ и^зба'вити лю'ди своя` эT рђкђ мое'ю, и^ эT рђ'кђ эTц~ъ мои^хъ. н^и б^о б~ъ ва'шъ възъмо'жет# и^зба'вити ваs эT рђки` мое'я.

¹⁵

Now then, let not Ezekias deceive you, and let him not make you thus confident, and believe him not: for no god of any kingdom or nation is at all able to deliver his people out of my hand, or the hand of my fathers: therefore your God shall not deliver you out of my hand.

¹⁶

н^о і^ и'на мно'га гл~али сђть раби` е^го проти'вђ г~а б~а, и^ проти'вђ і^е^зекїя раба` е^го.

¹⁶

And his servants continued to speak against the Lord God, and against his servant Ezekias.

¹⁷

и^ посла'нїя же писа` поношая г~а б~а і^и^л~ева. и^ гл~алъ е^сть на'нь рекїи” ЈА/ко бо'ѕи ја^зы'къ прочїихъ не мого'ша и^зба'вити людїи свои^хъ эT рђ'кђ мое'ю. та'ко и^ б~ъ і^е^зекїинъ и^зба'вити не мо'жетъ людїи е^го эT рђки` мое^я”

¹⁷

And he wrote a letter to reproach the Lord God of Israel, and spoke concerning him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the earth have not delivered their people out of my hand, so the God of Ezekias shall by no means deliver his people out of my hand.

¹⁸

И$ на'ипаче възопи` во'племъ вели'кимъ ја^зы'комъ і^ё^де'искиM проти'вђ людїи, и^же сњдя'хђ на стњнаX і^ерsли'ма да ё^страшиT и^хъ и^ во'зметъ гра'дъ”

¹⁸

And he cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem on the wall, calling them to assist them, and pull down the walls, that they might take the city.

¹⁹

И$ гл~алъ же е^сть проти'вђ б~а і^и^л~ева. ја%ко сђпроти'вђ бого'въ людїи зе'мъскихъ, дњ'ла рђкъ чл~ческиX”

¹⁹

And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, even as against the gods of the nations of the earth, the works of the hands of men.

²⁰

И$ моли'ша же ся сего` ра'ди поношенїя, і^е^зекїя цр~ь і^ и^саїя сн~ъ а^м#мосовъ прoркъ. и^ възопи'ша да'же до нб~си”

²⁰

And king Ezekias and Esaias the prophet the son of Amos prayed concerning these things, and they cried to heaven.

²¹

И$ посла` г~ь а^гг~ла свое^го. и^же порази` всњхъ мђже'и хра'брыхъ и^ бра'нниковъ. и^ нача'лники во'емъ, въ по'лцехъ цр~я а^сљ=рїиска. и^ възврати` лице е^го с поноше'нїемъ на' землю свою`” Є$гда же въшелъ е^сть в до'мъ б~а свое^го. сн~ове и^же и^зошли` бњша эT чре'ва е^го погђби'ша е^го мечеM.

²¹

And the Lord sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty man and warrior, and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria: and he returned with shame of face to his own land and came into the house of his god: and some of them that came out of his bowels slew him with the sword.

²²

сп~се же б~ъ і^е^зекїю и^ ѓ^бита'ющихъ і^ерsли'мђ эT рђ'кђ сенахерима цр~я а^сљ=рїиска и^ эT рђ'кђ всXњ, и^ пода'сть и^мъ поко'и по ѓ%крsтъ”

²²

So the Lord delivered Ezekias and the dwellers in Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherim king of Assyria, and out of the hand of all his enemies, and gave them rest round about.

²³

И$ мно'ѕи приноша'хђ жрътвы г~ђ въ і^ерsлимњ, и^ дары і^езекїи цр~ю і^ё'динђ и^же възвышенъ е^сть по си'хъ предъ всњми ја^зы'ки”

²³

And many brought gifts to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezekias king of Juda; and he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations after these things.

²⁴

И$ потомъ по' дн~ех# тњх# и^знемо'же і^е^зекїа даже смр~ти и^ помоли'ся г~ђ. и^ ё^слы'ша же и^ дасть е^мђ зна'менїе,

²⁴

In those days Ezekias was sick even to death, and prayed to the Lord: and he hearkened to him, and gave him a sign.

²⁵

и^ не по добродњтели, и^же даде е^мђ” Възда'сть і^е^зекїи, и^ въздви'жено е^сть срDце е^го. и^ сотворе'нъ бысть проти'вђ е^го гнњ'въ и^ проти'вђ і^ё'ды і^ и^ерsлима.

²⁵

But Ezekias did not recompense the Lord according to the return which he made him, but his heart was lifted up: and wrath came upon him, and upon Juda and Jerusalem.

²⁶

и^ смире'нъ бысть по си'хъ” Того ради е^же възвыше'но бысть срDце е^го. тако ѓ'нъ ја%ко и^ живђщеи` въ і^ерsлі'мњ. не прїиде на ниX ја%рость гн~я во дн~и і^е^зекїины”

²⁶

And Ezekias humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart, he and the dwellers in Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Ezekias.

²⁷

И$ бысть же і^е^зекїеви бога'тъство и^ сла'ва мно'га ѕњло. и^ сокро'вища себњ` мно'ги собра` сребра` и^ зла'та. и^ ка'менїя чsтнаго, и^ а^рома'ты, и^ ѓ^рђжїа храни'лницы. и^ всњхъ разныхъ сосђдовъ вели'къ чи'нъ.

²⁷

And Ezekias had wealth and very great glory: and he made for himself treasuries of gold, and silver, and precious stones, also for spices, and stores for arms, and for precious vessels;

²⁸

и^ житници жиT пшени'цы и^ вина` и^ е^ле'я. и^ ја^сли всMњ скотом#, и^ ста'н# же ста'домъ

²⁸

and cities for the produce of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls and mangers for every kind of cattle, and folds for flocks;

²⁹

и^ загра'ды ѓ'вцаM. и^ поса'довъ, ѕ~, созда`” И$мя'ше б^о ста'да ѓ^ве'цъ и^ скотовъ безчи'слена” Того ради чт^о да'сть е^мђ г~ь и^ собра'нїя мно'го ѕњло.

²⁹

and cities which he built for himself, and store of sheep and oxen in abundance, for the Lord gave him a very great store.

³⁰

то'й е^сть і^е^зекїя, и^же завре вы'шнїи клю'чъ воDныи сїѓ'на” И$ ѓ^брати и^хъ съ до'лђ к# полђ'дню града двд~ва. въ всњхъ дњлехъ свои^хъ сътвори` преспњва'я и^же въсхотњ`”

³⁰

The same Ezekias stopped up the course of the water of Gion above, and brought the water down straight south of the city of David. And Ezekias prospered in all his works.

³¹

И$ се'й въ посла'нїи княѕе'и вављ=лон#скихъ, и^же посла'ни бя'хђ к не'мђ да вопросяT е^го ѓ^ чюдеси` и^же слђчи'ся на земли`” И$ ѓ^ста'ви е^го г~ь да и^скђси'тъ е^го ви'дњти и^же бњша въ срDци е^го”

³¹

Notwithstanding, in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who were sent to him to enquire of him concerning the prodigy which came upon the land, the Lord left him, to try him, to know what was in his heart.

³²

И$ про'чая же словесъ і^е^зекїа и^ щедроты е^го и^ пи'сана сђть въ видњнїи` і^саїя проро'ка сн~а а^м#мосова. и^ въ кни'ѕњ цр~ьствъ і^ё'ды і^ и^и~ля”

³²

And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and his kindness, behold, they are written in the prophecy of Esaias the son of Amos the prophet, and in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.

³³

И$ ё^спе же і^е^зекїя съ эTц~ы свои^ми, и^ погребо'ша е^го наD гро'бы сн~овъ двд~выхъ. и^ сла'вђ и^ честь даша е^мђ въ смр~ти е^го ве'сь і^ё'да. и^ вс^и и^же ѓ^бита'хђ въ і^ерsлимњ. и^ црsтвова же манасїя сн~ъ е^го в него` мњсто”

³³

And Ezekias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in a high place among the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem gave him glory and honour at his death. And Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
