¹

And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.

¹

И$ бы'сть и^ѓ^сафа'тђ бога'тъство, и^ сла'ва мно'га, и^ пояT женђ в домђ` а^ха'вли, и^ племени сложенъ е^сть а^хавлю,

²

And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab slew for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.

²

и съниде же по лњтеX к немђ съвръше'не въ самарїю, и^ е^го прише'ствїю, ё^би` а^ха'въ ѓ%вны, и^ волы` мно'ги, томђ и^ людемъ и^же прїидо'ша с ни'мъ, помоли' же ся томђ, да взы'идетъ въ рамо'џъ галади'т#скїи”

³

And Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I am, so also art thou, as thy people, so also is my people with thee for the war.

³

Реq же а^ха'въ цр~ь і^и^л~евъ, къ и^ѓ^сафа'тђ цр~ю іё'динђ, прїиди` съ мно'ю въ рамо'џъ галаа^ди'т#скїи” к немђ то'и эTвњща`, ја%ко а%зъ и^ ты`, ја%ко лю'дїе твои` та'ко и^ лю'дїе мои`, с тобо'ю же бђдемъ въ бра'ни”

⁴

And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray thee, the Lord to-day.

⁴

И$ реq и^ѓ^сафа'тъ цр~ю і^и^л~евђ, совњща'ися молю` т^я, преDстоя'щимъ словесе'м# г~ђ,

⁵

And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver it into the hands of the king.

⁵

и^ събра б^о цр~ь і^и^л~евъ пррoковъ, у~, мђже'и, и^ рече къ ни'мъ, а%ще въ рамо'џъ галааDскїи къ бра'ни пои^ти` и^мамы, и^ли поко'итися, и^ тїи рњша, в#зы'иди, и^ преда'сть б~ъ въ рђ'кђ цр~евђ”

⁶

And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?

⁶

Рече же иѓ^сафатъ ни л^и нњсть т^ђ пррoка гн~я, е^ще да эT того па'ки въпро'симъ,

⁷

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days are for evil: this is Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁷

и^ рече цр~ь і^и^л~евъ къ и^ѓ^сафа'тђ, е^сть мђжъ е^ді'нъ и%м#же мо'жетъ въпроси'ти г~а, н^о а%зъ ненави'жђ е^го, и^же не прорица'етъ мнњ` бл~га, н^о ѕло` въ все` вре'мя е^го, сїи михе'я сн~ъ и^е'мла” Реq же и^ѓ^сафа'тъ не гл~и цр~ю тњ'мъ ѓ^бы'чаемъ”

⁸

And the king called an eunuch, and said, Fetch quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.

⁸

И$ възва` цр~ь і^и^л~евъ е^ді'ного эT е^внђ'хъ, и^ рече е^мђ, зови в#бо'рзњ михе'ю сн~а и^е'мла, па'ки

⁹

And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

⁹

цр~ь і^и^л~евъ, и^ ѓ^сафа'тъ цр~ь і^ё'динъ, ѓ%ба сњдя'хђ на прsтлњ, ко'ждо и^ ѓ^блече'ни красото'ю цр~ьскою, сњдя'хђ же на простра'н#ствњ блиZ вра'тъ самарїискиX, вс^и же пррoцы пррoчествова'хђ преD ни'ми,

¹⁰

And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt thrust Syria until it be consumed.

¹⁰

седекїа б^о сн~ъ хана'на, сътвори е^мђ ро'га желњ'зна, и^ рече” Сїя реq г~ь, тњми попере'ши сљ=рїю, до'ндеже съкрђшиши е^я,

¹¹

And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king.

¹¹

вс^и же пррoцы та'коже прорица'хђ, и^ гл~ахђ, взы'иди въ рамо'џъ галаа'дъ и^ преспњва'еши, и^ преда'стъ и^хъ въ рђ'кђ цр~евђ,

¹²

And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray thee, thy words be as the words of one of them, and do thou speak good things.

¹²

посо'лъ же и^де къ званїю михе'я, рече е^мђ, с^е словеса` всњхъ пррoкъ е^ді'нњми ё^сты бл~га цр~еви възвњща'ютъ. прошђ ё^бо и^ тебе` да сло'вотвое эT е^го не ё^далится. гл~и же бл~га е^мђ,

¹³

And Michaias said, As the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.

¹³

и^ эTвњща михе'я. живе'тъ г~ь и^же чт^о е^лико рече'тъ мнњ б~ъ мо'и с^е гл~ю.

¹⁴

And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and thou shalt prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.

¹⁴

прїиде б^о къ цр~ю. е^мђже цр~ь рече, михе'я. и^ти л^и и%мамъ въ рамо'џъ галаа'дъ къ бране'нїю, и^ли поко'ити” К немђже то'и эTвњща`, и^зы'идете вс^я бо преспњва'нїя прїидђтъ т^и, и^ предадђтся враги` в рђ'ки ва'ша.

¹⁵

And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge thee that thou speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?

¹⁵

реq же цр~ь е^мђ па'ки. Множи'цею тебе заклина'ю я&. да мнњ не гл~еши то'кмо, чт^о и%стинно е^сть въ и^мя гн~е.

¹⁶

And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.

¹⁶

и^ то'и рече. ви'дњхъ ве'сь і^и^л~ь расточе'нъ въ гора'хъ ја%ко ѓ%вца без# па'стыря” И$ рече г~ь, не и%мђть сїи господи'на, да ѓ^брати'тся е^ді'нъ ко'ждо в до'мъ свои в# ми'рњ”

¹⁷

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Said I not to thee, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil?

¹⁷

И$ рече цр~ь і^и^л~евъ къ и^ѓ^сафа'тђ. ни л^и рњхъ тебњ ја%ко не прорицаеT се'и мнњ` ничтоже бл~га, н^о ѕл^о.

¹⁸

But he said, Not so. Hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left.

¹⁸

и^ рече михе'я, не та'ко слы'шите ё^бо сло'во гн~е. ви'дњхъ г~а сњдя'ща на прsтлњ е^го, и^ вс^и во'и нбsныя преDстоя'щи е^мђ ѓ^деснђю и^ ѓ^шђ'юю”

¹⁹

And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.

¹⁹

И$ рече г~ь кт^о прельсти'тъ а^ха'ва цр~я і^и^л~ева, да взы'идетъ и^ паде'тъ въ рамо'тњ галааDскомъ. и^ гл~аше е^ді'нъ та'ко, і^ и'нъ реq та'ко.

²⁰

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?

²⁰

и^зы'иде дх~ъ и^ ста` преD гм~ъ и^ рече. аZ прельщђ` е^го, е^мђже г~ь в# чемъ рече прельсти'ши.

²¹

And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so.

²¹

и^ то'и эTвњща`. эTи^дђ и^ бђ'дђ дх~ъ л#жи'въ въ ё^ста` всMњ пррoкомъ е^го” Рече же г~ь прельсти'ши л^и и^ премо'жеши л^и, и^зы'иди и^ сътвори` та'ко”

²²

And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against thee.

²²

И$ нн~њ ё^бо с^е г~ь даде` дх~ъ л#жи'въ въ ё^ста` всњмъ прoрком# твои'мъ си'мъ. и^ г~ь гл~алъ е^сть ѓ^ тебњ` ѕло`.

²³

Then Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and smote Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to thee?

²³

и^ пристђпи' же седекїя сн~ъ ханаа'на. и^ ё^да'ри михе'ю в лани'тђ. и^ рече е^мђ кои'мъ пђтеM про'иде дх~ъ гн~ь эT мене е^же гл~ати тебњ”

²⁴

And Michaias said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.

²⁴

Рече же михе'я. т^ы то` ё%зриши въ дн~ь ѓ'нъ. когда` входя'щъ бђ'деши къ ло'жницњ. эT ложница да ё^кры'ешися.

²⁵

And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king's son;

²⁵

повелњ' же цр~ь і^и^л~евъ гл~ющи възми'те михе'ю и^ веди'те е^го къ и^м#ми'рђ нача'лникђ гра'да. и^ къ и^а'сђ кн~ѕю сн~ђ цр~евђ.

²⁶

and ye shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison-house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and drink the water of affliction, until I return in peace.

²⁶

и^ гл~ите сїя гл~етъ цр~ь. поста'вите того в# темни'цђ. и^ дади'те е^мђ хлњ'ба ма'ло, и^ воды` по ѓ^скђ'дђ до'ндеже ѓ^бращђся в# ми'рњ

²⁷

And Michaias said, If thou do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all ye people.

²⁷

рече же михе'я. а%ще ѓ^брати'шися въ ми'рњ. нњ'сть г~ь гл~алъ мнњ`, и^ рече” Слы'шите вс^и лю'дїе.

²⁸

So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.

²⁸

того ради в#зыиде цр~ь і^и^л~евъ, и^ ѓ^сафаT цр~ь і^ё'динъ въ рамо'џ#, и^ галаа'дъ”

²⁹

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do thou put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.

²⁹

Рече же цр~ь і^и^л~евъ къ и^ѓ^сафа'тђ. премени` на' мя ри'зы твоя`. и^ та'ко къ ѓ^полче'нїю и^дђ`. ты же ѓ^блеци'ся в ри'зы моя`. премени же цр~ь і^и^л~евъ ри'зы и%де къ бра'ни”

³⁰

Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel.

³⁰

Цр~ь же си'рьскїи повелњ` вожеM ко'н#никъ своиX гл~ющи. не ѓ^полча'итеся проти'вђ ме'ншаго, и^ли проти'вђ бо'льшаго. то'кмо проти'вђ само'го цр~я і^и^л~ева.

³¹

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him.

³¹

и^ бы'сть е^гда ви'дњша нача'лницы ко'н#никоM и^ѓ^сафа'та, гл~аша цр~ь і^и^л~евъ еs се'и. и^ ѓбыидо'ша е^го вою'юще. і^ѓ^сафаT же възопи` къ г~ђ. и^ г~ь послђша е^го и^ ѓ^брати и^хъ эT него.

³²

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.

³²

и^ бы'сть е^гда б^о ви'дњша вое^во'ды ко'нникъ ја%ко не бы'сть цр~ь і^и^л~евъ. ѓ^ста'виша е^го.

³³

And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breastplate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn thine hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded.

³³

слђчи' же ся да е^ді'нъ эT людїи стрњлцђ не вњдђщи и^спђсти` и^ порази` цря і^и^л~ева промежђ въздыха'нїя, и^ пан#цы'ря и^ ѓ'нъ поDча'шемђ свое^мђ рече. ѓ^брати` рђ'кђ твою` і^ и^зведи` м^я эT бра'ни ја%ко пораже'нъ е^смь.

³⁴

And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.

³⁴

и^ сконча'но е^сть ѓ^полченїе в# дн~ь то'и, и^ цр~ь і^ил~евъ б^њ стоя` в# колесни'цы свое'и. проти'вђ сирїѓM даy до' вечера и^ ёMре заходящђ слн~цђ”
