1
About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;
and that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there:
and that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power, was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:
also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.
7
И҆ разори́ша ме́рзость, ю҆́же созда̀ на ѻ҆лтарѝ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ ст҃ы́ню, ꙗ҆́коже пре́жде ѡ҆крꙋжи́ша стѣна́ми высо́кими, и҆ веѳсꙋ́рꙋ гра́дъ є҆гѡ̀.
8
Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.
But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.
12
нн҃ѣ же помина́ю ѕла̑ѧ, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́хъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆ взѧ́хъ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды зла̑ты и҆ срє́брѧны въ не́мъ, и҆ посла́хъ и҆з̾ѧ́ти ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ꙋде́и вотщѐ:
13
I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.
Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.
About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.
for which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.
Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against all their borders.
25
и҆ не на на́съ то́кмѡ простро́ша рꙋ́кꙋ, но и҆ на всѧ̑ предѣ́лы на́шѧ:
26
And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.
26
и҆ сѐ, ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ дне́сь на краегра́дїе во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, є҆́же взѧ́ти є҆го̀ и҆ ст҃ы́ню, и҆ веѳсꙋ́рꙋ оу҆тверди́ша:
27
Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them.
27
и҆ а҆́ще не предвари́ши и҆̀хъ скорѣ́е, бѡ́лшаѧ си́хъ сотворѧ́тъ, и҆ не возмо́жеши оу҆держа́ти и҆̀хъ.
28
Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.
These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.
Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bethzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.
33
И҆ воста̀ ца́рь ѕѣлѡ̀ ра́нѡ и҆ воздви́же ѡ҆полче́нїе во оу҆стремле́нїи є҆гѡ̀ по пꙋтѝ веѳсаха́рїи: и҆ оу҆стро́ишасѧ си̑лы на бра́нь, и҆ вострꙋби́ша трꙋба́ми,
34
And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.
Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.
And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.
37
И҆ пѵ́рги древѧ́ни на ни́хъ крѣ́пцы защища́ющїи на ко́емждо ѕвѣ́ри, препоѧ́сани на не́мъ миха́нами, и҆ на ко́емждо мꙋже́й си́лы три́десѧть два̀ вою́ющихъ на ни́хъ, и҆ і҆нді́анинъ оу҆прави́тель є҆гѡ̀.
38
As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host, giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.
Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire.
39
Є҆гда́ же возсїѧ̀ со́лнце на щиты̀ златы̑ѧ и҆ мѣ̑дѧныѧ, ѡ҆бсїѧ́ша го́ры ѿ ни́хъ и҆ ѡ҆блиста́ша ꙗ҆́кѡ лампа̑ды ѻ҆́гнєнныѧ.
40
So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.
40
И҆ ѿлꙋчи́сѧ ча́сть нѣ́каѧ ѿ полка̀ царе́ва на го́ры высѡ́ки, и҆ нѣ́цыи на ни̑жшаѧ, и҆ и҆дѧ́хꙋ крѣ́пцѣ и҆ чи́ннѡ.
41
Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.
Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,
wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.
Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.
48
Сꙋ́щїи же ѿ полка̀ царе́ва взыдо́ша проти́вꙋ и҆́хъ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ: и҆ ѡ҆полчи́сѧ ца́рь на і҆ꙋде́ю и҆ на го́рꙋ сїѡ́нъ.
49
But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.
As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.
Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea, that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)
53
Пи́ща же не бѧ́ше во гра́дѣ, зане́же седмо́е лѣ́то бѣ̀, и҆ и҆збѣжа́вшїи во і҆ꙋде́ю ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ поѧдо́ша ѡ҆ста́нокъ сокрове́нїѧ.
54
there were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.
At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,
Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:
and covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.
Then the king entered into mount Sion: but when he saw the strength of the place, he brake his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.
Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.
