¹

И҆ бы́сть во четвертоена́десѧть лѣ́то ца́рствꙋющꙋ є҆зекі́и, взы́де сеннахирі́мъ ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскъ на гра́ды твє́рды і҆ꙋдє́йски и҆ взѧ̀ ѡ҆́ныѧ.

¹

Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of the reign of Ezekias, that Sennacherim, king of the Assyrians, came up against the strong cities of Judea, and took them.

²

И҆ посла̀ ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскъ раѱа́ка ѿ лахі́са во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ко царю̀ є҆зекі́и съ си́лою вели́кою, и҆ ста̀ оу҆ водова́жды кꙋпѣ́ли вы́шнїѧ на пꙋтѝ села̀ кнафе́ова [бѣли́лнича].

²

And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabsaces out of Laches to Jerusalem to king Ezekias with a large force: and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller's field.

³

И҆ и҆зы́де къ немꙋ̀ є҆лїакі́мъ сы́нъ хелкі́евъ домострои́тель, и҆ сомна́съ книго́чїй, и҆ і҆ѡа́хъ сы́нъ а҆са́фовъ памѧтопи́сецъ.

³

And there went forth to him Heliakim the steward, the son of Chelcias, and Somnas the scribe, and Joach the son of Asaph, the recorder.

⁴

И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ раѱа́къ: рцы́те є҆зекі́и: сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ ца́рь вели́кїй, ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскъ: на что̀ оу҆пова́еши;

⁴

And Rabsaces said to them, Say to Ezekias, Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians, Why art thou secure?

⁵

є҆да̀ совѣ́томъ и҆ словесы̀ оу҆́стными би́тва быва́етъ; и҆ нн҃ѣ на кого̀ оу҆пова́еши, ꙗ҆́кѡ не покарѧ́ешисѧ мнѣ̀;

⁵

Is war carried on with counsel and mere words of the lips? and now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

⁶

сѐ, оу҆пова́еши на же́злъ тро́стѧнъ сокрꙋше́нный се́й, на є҆гѵ́петъ, на него́же а҆́ще ѡ҆пре́тсѧ мꙋ́жъ, вни́детъ въ рꙋ́кꙋ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ прободе́тъ ю҆̀: та́кѡ є҆́сть фараѡ́нъ ца́рь є҆гѵ́петскїй, и҆ всѝ оу҆пова́ющїи на него̀:

⁶

Behold, thou trustest on this bruised staff of reed, on Egypt: as soon as a man leans upon it, it shall go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king of Egypt and all that trust in him.

⁷

а҆́ще же глаго́лете, на гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шего оу҆пова́емъ: не се́й ли є҆́сть, є҆гѡ́же разорѝ є҆зекі́а высѡ́каѧ и҆ трє́бища є҆гѡ̀, и҆ заповѣ́да і҆ꙋ́дѣ и҆ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мꙋ: пред̾ ѻ҆лтаре́мъ си́мъ поклони́тесѧ;

⁷

But if ye say, We trust in the Lord our God;

⁸

нн҃ѣ соедини́тесѧ господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀ царю̀ а҆ссѷрі́йскꙋ, и҆ да́мъ ва́мъ двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы ко́ней, а҆́ще мо́жете да́ти всѣда́ющыѧ на ни́хъ:

⁸

yet now make an agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if ye shall be able to set riders upon them.

⁹

и҆ ка́кѡ мо́жете ѿврати́ти лицѐ воево́ды є҆ди́нагѡ; рабѝ сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же оу҆пова́ютъ на є҆гѵ́птѧнъ, на ко́ней и҆ вса́дникѡвъ:

⁹

And how can ye then turn to the face of the satraps? They that trust on the Egyptians for horse and rider are our servants.

¹⁰

и҆ нн҃ѣ є҆да̀ без̾ гдⷭ҇а прїидо́хомъ на странꙋ̀ сїю̀, воева́ти на ню̀; гдⷭ҇ь речѐ ко мнѣ̀: взы́ди на зе́млю сїю̀ и҆ погꙋбѝ ю҆̀.

¹⁰

And now, Have we come up against this land to fight against it without the Lord? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

¹¹

И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ є҆лїакі́мъ и҆ сомна́съ книго́чїй и҆ і҆ѡа́хъ: глаго́ли къ рабѡ́мъ твои̑мъ сѵ́рски, разꙋмѣ́емъ бо мы̀, а҆ не глаго́ли къ на́мъ і҆ꙋде́йски: и҆ вскꙋ́ю глаго́леши во оу҆́шы человѣ́кѡмъ сѣдѧ́щымъ на стѣнѣ̀;

¹¹

Then Eliakim and Somnas and Joach said to him, Speak to thy servants in the Syrian tongue; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jewish tongue: and wherefore speakest thou in the ears of the men on the wall?

¹²

И҆ речѐ къ ни̑мъ раѱа́къ: є҆да̀ ко господи́нꙋ ва́шемꙋ, и҆лѝ къ ва́мъ посла́ мѧ господи́нъ мо́й глаго́лати словеса̀ сїѧ̑; не къ человѣ́кѡмъ ли сѣдѧ́щымъ на ѡ҆гра́дѣ, да ꙗ҆дѧ́тъ моты̑ла и҆ пїю́тъ мо́чь съ ва́ми вкꙋ́пѣ;

¹²

And Rabsaces said to them, Has my lord sent me to your lord or to you, to speak these words? has he not sent me to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat dung, and drink their water together with you?

¹³

И҆ ста̀ раѱа́къ, и҆ возопѝ гла́сомъ ве́лїимъ і҆ꙋде́йски и҆ речѐ: слы́шите словеса̀ царѧ̀ вели́кагѡ, царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска:

¹³

And Rabsaces stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians:

¹⁴

сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ ца́рь: да не прельща́етъ ва́съ є҆зекі́а словесы̀, не мо́жетъ и҆зба́вити ва́съ:

¹⁴

thus says the king, Let not Ezekias deceive you with words: he will not be able to deliver you.

¹⁵

и҆ да не глаго́летъ ва́мъ є҆зекі́а, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зба́витъ вы̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ не преда́стсѧ гра́дъ се́й въ рꙋ́цѣ царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска:

¹⁵

And let not Ezekias say to you, That God will deliver you, and this city will not at all be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.

¹⁶

не слꙋ́шайте є҆зекі́и: сїѧ̑ глаго́летъ ца́рь а҆ссѷрі́йскїй: а҆́ще хо́щете благослове́ни бы́ти, и҆зыди́те ко мнѣ̀ и҆ ꙗ҆ди́те кі́йждо вїногра́дъ сво́й и҆ смѡ́кви, и҆ пі́йте ѿ пото́ка ва́шегѡ,

¹⁶

Hearken not to Ezekias: thus says the king of the Assyrians, If ye wish to be blessed, come out to me: and ye shall eat every one of his vine and his fig-trees, and ye shall drink water out of your own cisterns;

¹⁷

до́ндеже прїидꙋ̀ и҆ поимꙋ̀ вы̀ въ зе́млю, ꙗ҆́же а҆́ки ва́ша землѧ̀, землѧ̀ пшени́цы и҆ вїна̀ и҆ хлѣ́бѡвъ и҆ вїногра́дѡвъ:

¹⁷

until I come and take you to a land, like your own land, a land of corn and wine, and bread and vineyards.

¹⁸

да не прельща́етъ ва́съ є҆зекі́а, глаго́лѧ: бг҃ъ ва́шъ и҆зба́витъ вы̀: є҆да̀ и҆зба́виша бо́зи ꙗ҆зы́честїи, кі́йждо странꙋ̀ свою̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ царѧ̀ а҆ссѷрі́йска;

¹⁸

Let not Ezekias deceive you, saying, God will deliver you. Have the gods of the nations delivered each one his own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?

¹⁹

гдѣ̀ є҆́сть бо́гъ є҆ма́ѳовъ и҆ а҆рфа́ѳовъ; и҆ гдѣ̀ бо́гъ гра́да сепфарі́ма; є҆да̀ возмого́ша и҆зба́вити самарі́ю ѿ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀;

¹⁹

Where is the god of Emath, and Arphath? and where is the god of Eppharuaim? have they been able to deliver Samaria out of my hand?

²⁰

кто̀ ѿ богѡ́въ всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ си́хъ, и҆́же и҆зба́ви зе́млю свою̀ ѿ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зба́витъ бг҃ъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма ѿ рꙋкѝ моеѧ̀;

²⁰

Which is the god of all these nations, that has delivered his land out of my hand, that God should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

²¹

И҆ оу҆молко́ша, и҆ никто́же ѿвѣща̀ є҆мꙋ̀ словесѐ, повелѣ́нїѧ ра́ди царе́ва, да никто́же ѿвѣща́етъ.

²¹

And they were silent, and none answered him a word; because the king had commanded that none should answer.

²²

И҆ вни́де є҆лїакі́мъ сы́нъ хелкі́евъ домострои́тель, и҆ сомна́съ книго́чїй си́лы, и҆ і҆ѡа́хъ сы́нъ а҆са́фовъ памѧтопи́сецъ ко є҆зекі́и въ расте́рзаныхъ ри́захъ и҆ повѣ́даша є҆мꙋ̀ словеса̀ раѱа́кѡва.

²²

And Heliakim the son of Chelcias, the steward, and Somnas the military scribe, and Joach the son of Asaph, the recorder, came in to Ezekias, having their garments rent, and they reported to him the words of Rabsaces.
