And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Achaab.

²

и^ ѓ^хоѕїя' же впаде` эT ѓ^кна`. и^же в го'рницы е^го въ самарїи. и^ разболњся ѕњ'ло. и^ посла` послы` и^ рече к ниM и^дњте и^ въпроси'те ё^ ваа'ла скве'рнаго бо'га а^ка'рскихъ а^ще жиv бђдђ эT бо'лезни мое'я сея” І$ и^до'ша въпраша'ти е^го ради.

And Ochozias fell through the lattice that was in his upper chamber in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go and enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my sickness. And they went to enquire of him.

³

и^ а^гг~лъ гн~ь рече къ и^лїи` џезви'тянинђ гл~я. въста'въ і^ и^ди` на срњте'нїе посло'мъ ѓ^хоѕїя' цр~я самарїиска. и^ гл~еши к нимъ и^л^и нњсть б~а въ і^и^л~и ја%ко грядете` въпраша'ти ваа'ла, скве'рнаго бога в# каро'нњ”

³

And an angel of the Lord called Eliu the Thesbite, saying, Arise, and go to meet the messengers of Ochozias king of Samaria, and thou shalt say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? but it shall not be so.

⁴

И$ сего ради си'це гл~етъ г~ь, на ѓ'дръ на'ньже воZше'лъ е^си т^ђ не и'маши слњсти с него ја%кот^ђ и%маши см~ртїю ё^мрњти. і^ и^де` и^лїя`, и^ рече к ни'мъ”

⁴

For thus saith the Lord, The bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it, for thou shalt surely die. And Eliu went, and said so to them.

⁵

И$ ѓ^брати'шася послы` к немђ” ѓ%нже рече иM чт^о ја%ко възврати'стеся”

⁵

And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why have ye returned?

⁶

И$ рњша к немђ мђжъ възы'иде въ срњте'нїе намъ, и^ рече к на'мъ, възврати'теся и^дњте къ цр~ю посла'вшемђ вы` и^ гл~њте к немђ`, си'це гл~етъ г~ь и^л^и нњ'сть б~а въ і^и^л~и да вы` грядете въпраша'ти ваа'ла скве'рнаго бо'га въ каронњ. сего ради на ѓ^дрњ` на немже ты` лежи'ши не и'маши слњсти с не'го, н^отђ` и%маши см~ртїю ё^мрњти”

⁶

And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou goest to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? it shall not be so: the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it, for thou shalt surely die.

⁷

И$ рече к ни'мъ цр~ь гл~я. како'въ бя'ше мђжъ то'и въше'дыи въ срњте'нїе ва'мъ и^ гл~авыи ваM словеса` си`”

⁷

So they returned and reported to the king as Eliu said: and he said to them, What was the manner of the man who went up to meet you, and spoke to you these words?

⁸

И$ рњша к немђ` мђжъ косма'тъ, и^ по'ясъ ё^смя'нъ ѓ^ чре'слњхъ е^го. и^ рече цр~ь, и^лїя` џеѕви'тянинъ се'и е^сть”

⁸

And they said to him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a leathern girdle about his loins. And he said, This is Eliu the Thesbite.

⁹

И$ посла` к немђ старњишинђ пя'тьдеся'тника. и^ н~, мђжъ е^го и^ вшеDше прїидо'ша к не'мђ. и^ с^е и^лїя` бњ` сњдя` връхђ горы`. и^ гл~а пятьдеся'тникъ к немђ. и^ рече зовеT т^я цр~ь чл~че бж~їи сни'ди”

⁹

And he sent to him a captain of fifty and his fifty; and he went up to him: and, behold, Eliu sat on the top of a mountain. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, the king has called thee, come down.

¹⁰

И$ эTвњща` и^лїя` и^ рече къ пятьдеся'тникђ. а^ще е^смь чл~къ бж~їи. т^о да сни'деT ѓ%гнь с нб~си и^ снњсть т^я, и^ н~ твою` с тобо'ю. и^ сни'де ѓ%гнь с нб~си и^ снњсть и&, и^ н~ мђжъ с ни'мъ”

¹⁰

And Eliu answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I am a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour thee and thy fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.

¹¹

И$ приложи` цр~ь посла'ти к немђ дрђга'го пятьдеся'тника, и^ н~ мђжъ с ниM и^ вшеD и^ гл~а пятьдеся'тниk к немђ и^ рече чл~че бж~їи. си'це гл~етъ цр~ь пот#ща'вся сни'ди”

¹¹

And the king sent a second time to him another captain of fifty, and his fifty. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, thus says the king, Come down quickly.

¹²

И$ эTвњща'въ и^лїя` гл~а к немђ и^ рече. а^ще чл~къ бж~їи а'зъ е^смь т^о да сни'детъ ѓ%гнь с нб~се и^ да снњсть т^я, и^ н~ мђжъ с тобо'ю. и^ сни'де ѓ%гнь с нб~се и^ снњсть и&. и^ н~ мђжъ е^го”

¹²

And Eliu answered and spoke to him, and said, If I am a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour thee and thy fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.

¹³

И$ приложи` цр~ь е^ще` посла'ти тре'тїја^го старњ'ишинђ. пятьдеся'тника, и^ н~. мђжъ с ниM. и^ прїиде к немђ` пятьдеся'тникъ тре'тїи. и^ поклони'ся на колњнђ свое'ю преD и^лїе'ю, и^ моли` е^го и^ гл~а к немђ, и^ рече чл~че бж~їи с^е гото'ва е^сть дш~а моя` преD тобо'ю. и^ дш~а ра'бъ твои^хъ сихъ н~. преD ѓ^чи'ма твои'ма”

¹³

And the king sent yet again a captain and his fifty. And the third captain of fifty came, and knelt on his knees before Eliu, and entreated him, and spoke to him and said, O man of God, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thine eyes.

¹⁴

Се бо сни'де ѓ%гнь с нб~се и^ поја%сть ѓ%ба пятьдеся'тника старњишая, съ н~ е^ю. и^ с^е ё^бо гото'ва е^сть дш~а рабъ твои^хъ преD ѓ^чи'ма твои'ма”

¹⁴

Behold, fire came down from heaven, and devoured the two first captains of fifty: and now, I pray, let my life be precious in thine eyes.

¹⁵

И$ гл~а а^гг~лъ бж~їи къ и^лїи` и^ рече. сниди с ни'мъ не ё^бо'ися эT лица` и^хъ, и^ въстаv и^лїя` и^ сни'де с нимъ къ цр~ю

¹⁵

And the angel of the Lord spoke to Eliu, and said, Go down with him, be not afraid of them. And Eliu rose up, and went down with him to the king.

¹⁶

и^ гл~а к немђ` и^ рече, си'це гл~етъ г~ь понеже посла` послы` въпраша'ти ваа'ла сквернаго бога в каро'нњ. ја%ко да не бы'ти б~ђ въ і^и^л~и е^гоже словеси` можа'ше въпраша'ти, сего ра'ди на ѓ^дрњ` на не'мже ты` лежи'ши т^ђ нн~њ не и'маши слњсти с него н^о смр~тїю ё'мреши”

¹⁶

And Eliu spoke to him, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Why hast thou sent messengers to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? it shall not be so: the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it, for thou shalt surely die.

¹⁷

И$ ё'мре по гл~ђ гн~ю, е^же гл~а рђкою и^лїиною. и^ про'чая словесъ ѓ^хозі'иn е^ли'ко сътвори`. не се` л^и пи'сана въ кни'гахъ словесъ дн~їи цр~ь. і^и^л~евъ” И црsтвова` и^ѓ^ра'мъ въ мњсто е^го наD і^и^л~емъ, в# самарїи. в лњто, в~ е, и^ѓ^ра'ма сн~а и^ѓ^сафа'това цр~я і^ё'дина поне'же не и^мњ` сн~а ѓ^хозїя”

¹⁷

So he died according to the word of the Lord which Eliu had spoken.

¹⁸

И$ про'чая словесъ ѓ^хозї'инъ е^лико сътвори`, не се` л^и пи'сана въ кн'игахъ дн~їи цр~ь і^и^л~евъ”

And the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, behold, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? And Joram son of Achaab reigns over Israel in Samaria twelve years beginning in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, only not as his brethren, nor as his mother: and he removed the pillars of Baal which his father made, and broke them in pieces: only he was joined to the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them. And the Lord was very angry with the house of Achaab.
