И҆ рѣ́ша сы́нове прорѡ́чи ко є҆лїссе́ю: сѐ, оу҆́бѡ мѣ́сто, и҆дѣ́же мы̀ живе́мъ проти́вꙋ тебє̀, тѣ́сно на́мъ:

¹

And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.

²

да и҆́демъ нн҃ѣ до і҆ѻрда́на, и҆ да во́змемъ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ кі́йждо мꙋ́жъ по бервнꙋ̀ є҆ди́номꙋ и҆ сотвори́мъ себѣ̀ тꙋ̀ ѡ҆бита́лища пребыва́ти та́мѡ. И҆ речѐ: и҆ди́те.

²

Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.

³

И҆ речѐ є҆ди́нъ кро́тцѣ: грѧдѝ и҆ са́мъ съ рабы̑ твои́ми. И҆ речѐ: а҆́зъ пойдꙋ̀.

³

And he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with thy servants. And he said, I will go.

⁴

И҆ и҆́де съ ни́ми: и҆ прїидо́ша ко і҆ѻрда́нꙋ, и҆ сѣко́ша древа̀:

⁴

And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to cut down wood.

⁵

и҆ є҆гда̀ є҆ди́нъ ѿсѣка́ше бервно̀, и҆ сѐ, желѣ́зо спадѐ съ топори́ща и҆ впадѐ въ во́дꙋ. И҆ возопѝ: ѽ, господи́не, и҆ сїѐ зае́мное.

⁵

And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.

⁶

И҆ речѐ человѣ́къ бж҃їй: гдѣ̀ падѐ; И҆ показа̀ є҆мꙋ̀ мѣ́сто. И҆ ѿсѣчѐ дре́во и҆ вве́рже и҆ та́мѡ: и҆ всплывѐ желѣ́зо.

⁶

And the man of God said, Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.

⁷

И҆ речѐ: возмѝ себѣ̀. И҆ прострѐ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ и҆ взѧ́тъ є҆̀.

⁷

And he said, Take it up to thyself. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.

⁸

И҆ ца́рь сѵ́рскїй бѣ̀ вою́ѧ на і҆и҃лѧ, и҆ совѣща̀ со ѻ҆́трѡки свои́ми, глаго́лѧ: на мѣ́стѣ нѣ́коемъ сокрове́ннѣмъ ѡ҆полчꙋ́сѧ.

⁸

And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.

⁹

И҆ посла̀ є҆лїссе́й ко царю̀ і҆и҃левꙋ, глаго́лѧ: блюди́сѧ не преитѝ на мѣ́сто сїѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ тꙋ̀ сѵ́рѧне залѧго́ша.

⁹

And Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that thou pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.

¹⁰

И҆ посла̀ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ на мѣ́сто, ѡ҆ не́мже речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ є҆лїссе́й, и҆ соблюде́сѧ ѿтꙋ́дꙋ не є҆ди́ною, нижѐ два́жды.

¹⁰

And the king of Israel sent to the place which Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or twice.

¹¹

И҆ смꙋти́сѧ дꙋша̀ царѧ̀ сѵ́рска ѡ҆ словесѝ се́мъ: и҆ призва̀ ѻ҆́троки своѧ̑ и҆ речѐ и҆ ни̑мъ: не возвѣсти́те ли мнѣ̀, кто̀ предае́тъ мѧ̀ царю̀ і҆и҃левꙋ;

¹¹

And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not tell me who betrays me to the king of Israel?

¹²

И҆ речѐ є҆ди́нъ ѿ ѻ҆́трѡкъ є҆гѡ̀: нѝ, господи́не мо́й царю̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ проро́къ є҆лїссе́й, и҆́же во і҆и҃ли, возвѣща́етъ царю̀ і҆и҃левꙋ всѧ̑ словеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же а҆́ще глаго́леши въ сокро́вищи ло́жницы твоеѧ̀.

¹²

And one of his servants said, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatsoever thou mayest say in thy bedchamber.

¹³

И҆ речѐ: и҆ди́те, ви́дите, гдѣ̀ се́й, и҆ посла́въ возмꙋ̀ є҆го̀. И҆ возвѣсти́ша є҆мꙋ̀, глаго́люще: сѐ, є҆́сть въ дѡѳаі́мѣ.

¹³

And he said, Go, see where this man is, and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothaim.

¹⁴

И҆ посла̀ та́мѡ ко́ни и҆ колєсни́цы и҆ си́лꙋ тѧ́жкꙋ: и҆ прїидо́ша но́щїю и҆ ѡ҆крꙋжи́ша гра́дъ.

¹⁴

And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.

¹⁵

И҆ оу҆ра́ни ра́бъ є҆лиссе́евъ воста́ти, и҆ и҆зы́де: и҆ сѐ, си́ла ѡ҆бстꙋпѝ гра́дъ, и҆ ко́ни и҆ колєсни́цы. И҆ речѐ ѻ҆́трокъ є҆гѡ̀ къ немꙋ̀: ѽ, господи́не, что̀ сотвори́мъ;

¹⁵

And the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?

¹⁶

И҆ речѐ є҆лїссе́й: не бо́йсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́жае и҆̀же съ на́ми, не́жели съ ни́ми.

¹⁶

And Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us are more than they that are with them.

¹⁷

И҆ помоли́сѧ є҆лїссе́й и҆ речѐ: гдⷭ҇и, ѿве́рзи нн҃ѣ ѻ҆́чи ѻ҆́трока, да оу҆́зритъ. И҆ ѿве́рзе гдⷭ҇ь ѻ҆́чи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ви́дѣ: и҆ сѐ, гора̀ и҆спо́лнь ко́ней, и҆ колесни́ца ѻ҆́гненна ѡ҆́крестъ є҆лїссе́а.

¹⁷

And Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray thee, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.

¹⁸

И҆ снидо́ша къ немꙋ̀: и҆ помоли́сѧ є҆лїссе́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ и҆ речѐ: поразѝ оу҆̀бо ꙗ҆зы́къ се́й невидѣ́нїемъ. И҆ поразѝ и҆́хъ невидѣ́нїемъ по глаго́лꙋ є҆лїссе́евꙋ.

¹⁸

And they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.

¹⁹

И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ є҆лїссе́й: не се́й пꙋ́ть и҆ не се́й гра́дъ: грѧди́те по мнѣ̀, и҆ ѿведꙋ̀ вы̀ къ мꙋ́жꙋ, є҆го́же и҆́щете. И҆ ѿведѐ и҆́хъ въ самарі́ю.

¹⁹

And Elisaie said to them, This is not the city, and this is not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them away to Samaria.

²⁰

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ внидо́ша въ самарі́ю, и҆ речѐ є҆лїссе́й: ѿве́рзи оу҆̀бо, гдⷭ҇и, ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ, и҆ да ви́дѧтъ. И҆ ѿве́рзе гдⷭ҇ь ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ, и҆ ви́дѣша: и҆ сѐ, бѧ́хꙋ посредѣ̀ самарі́и.

²⁰

And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray thee, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

²¹

И҆ речѐ ца́рь і҆и҃левъ ко є҆лїссе́ю, є҆гда̀ оу҆ви́дѣ ѧ҆̀: а҆́ще поражꙋ̀ ѧ҆̀ пораже́нїемъ, ѻ҆́тче;

²¹

And the king of Israel said to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I not verily smite them, my father?

²²

И҆ речѐ є҆лїссе́и: да не порази́ши: є҆да́ ли плѣни́лъ є҆сѝ и҆̀хъ мече́мъ твои́мъ и҆ лꙋ́комъ твои́мъ, да и҆збїе́ши; и҆ предложѝ и҆̀мъ хлѣ́бы и҆ во́дꙋ, да ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ и҆ да пїю́тъ и҆ да ѿи́дꙋтъ ко господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀.

²²

And he said, Thou shalt not smite them, unless thou wouldest smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.

²³

И҆ предложѝ и҆̀мъ предложе́нїе ве́лїе, и҆ ꙗ҆до́ша и҆ пи́ша, и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ ѧ҆̀, и҆ и҆до́ша ко господи́нꙋ своемꙋ̀: и҆ не приложи́ша ктомꙋ̀ во́ини приходи́ти и҆з̾ сѷрі́и въ зе́млю і҆и҃левꙋ.

²³

And he set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them, and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer into the land of Israel.

²⁴

И҆ бы́сть по си́хъ, и҆ собра̀ сы́нъ а҆де́ровъ ца́рь сѷрі́йскїй всѐ ѡ҆полче́нїе своѐ, и҆ взы́де и҆ ѡ҆бсѣ́де самарі́ю.

²⁴

And it came to pass after this, that the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

²⁵

И҆ бы́сть гла́дъ вели́къ въ самарі́и: и҆ сѐ, ѡ҆бсѣдо́ша ю҆̀, до́ндеже бы́сть глава̀ ѻ҆сло́ва за пѧтьдесѧ́тъ сі̑кль сребра̀, и҆ четве́ртаѧ ча́сть мѣ́ры гно́ѧ голꙋби́нагѡ за пѧ́ть сі̑кль сребра̀.

²⁵

And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was valued at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at five pieces of silver.

²⁶

И҆ бы́сть ца́рь і҆и҃левъ ѡ҆бходѧ́й по стѣна́мъ: и҆ жена̀ (нѣ́каѧ) возопѝ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лющи: спаси́ мѧ, господи́не мо́й царю̀.

²⁶

And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

²⁷

И҆ речѐ є҆́й: а҆́ще тебѐ не сп҃са́етъ гдⷭ҇ь, ка́кѡ а҆́зъ спасꙋ́ тѧ; є҆да̀ ѿ гꙋмна̀ и҆лѝ ѿ точи́ла;

²⁷

And he said to her, Unless the Lord help thee, whence shall I help thee? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?

²⁸

И҆ речѐ є҆́й ца́рь: что́ ти є҆́сть; И҆ речѐ: сїѧ̀ жена̀ ко мнѣ̀ речѐ: да́ждь сы́на твоего̀, да съѧди́мъ є҆го̀ дне́сь, а҆ оу҆́тро моего̀ сы́на съѧди́мъ:

²⁸

And the king said to her, What is the matter with thee? And the woman said to him, This woman said to me, Give thy son, and we will eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.

²⁹

и҆ и҆спеко́хомъ сы́на моего̀ и҆ снѣдо́хомъ є҆го̀: и҆ рѣ́хъ къ не́й въ де́нь вторы́й: да́ждь сы́на твоего̀, и҆ съѧди́мъ є҆го̀: и҆ скры̀ сы́на своего̀.

²⁹

So we boiled my son, and ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give thy son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden her son.

³⁰

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша ца́рь і҆и҃левъ словеса̀ жены̀, раздра̀ ри̑зы своѧ̑ и҆ са́мъ хожда́ше по стѣнѣ̀, и҆ ви́дѣша лю́дїе вре́тище на пло́ти є҆гѡ̀ внꙋ́трь.

³⁰

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel heard the words of the woman, that he rent his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw sackcloth within upon his flesh.

³¹

И҆ речѐ ца́рь: сїѧ̑ да сотвори́тъ мѝ бг҃ъ и҆ сїѧ̑ да приложи́тъ мѝ, а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ глава̀ є҆лїссе́ева на не́мъ дне́сь.

³¹

And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon him this day.

³²

Є҆лїссе́й же сѣдѧ́ше въ домꙋ̀ свое́мъ, и҆ ста́рцы сѣдѧ́хꙋ съ ни́мъ. И҆ посла̀ ца́рь мꙋ́жа пред̾ лице́мъ свои́мъ. И҆ пре́жде да́же прїитѝ по́сланномꙋ къ немꙋ̀, и҆ то́й речѐ ко ста́рцємъ: не вѣ́сте ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ посла̀ сы́нъ оу҆бі́йцы се́й, да ѿсѣче́тъ главꙋ̀ мою̀; ви́дите, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ вѣ́стникъ, заключи́те двє́ри и҆ сти́сните є҆го̀ во две́рехъ: не то́потъ ли но́гъ господи́на є҆гѡ̀ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀;

³²

And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and the king sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do ye see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?

³³

И҆ є҆щѐ є҆мꙋ̀ глаго́лющꙋ съ ни́ми, и҆ сѐ, вѣ́стникъ сни́де къ немꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: сѐ, сїѐ ѕло̀ ѿ гдⷭ҇а: что̀ потерплю̀ гдⷭ҇еви ксемꙋ̀;

³³

While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?
