1 И҆ бы́сть въ лѣ́то девѧ́тое ца́рства є҆гѡ̀, въ мцⷭ҇ъ десѧ́тый, прїи́де навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй и҆ всѧ̀ си́ла є҆гѡ̀ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ: и҆ ѡ҆бстꙋпѝ є҆го̀ ѿвсю́дꙋ, и҆ созда́ша ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀ бойни̑цы.
1 In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it.
2 И҆ бы́сть гра́дъ во ѡ҆блеже́нїи до первагѡна́десѧть лѣ́та ца́рства седекі́ина, девѧ́тагѡ днѐ мцⷭ҇а:
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 и҆ превозмо́же во гра́дѣ гла́дъ, и҆ не бы́сть хлѣ́ба лю́демъ землѝ тоѧ̀:
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 и҆ разсѣ́десѧ гра́дъ, и҆ всѝ мꙋ́жїе во́инстїи и҆зыдо́ша но́щїю пꙋте́мъ вра́тъ, ꙗ҆̀же посредѣ̀ стѣ́нъ, ꙗ҆̀же сꙋ́ть ᲂу҆ вертогра́да царе́ва, и҆ халде́є ѡ҆́крестъ гра́да (бѣ́ша). И҆ побѣжѐ (ца́рь седекі́а) пꙋте́мъ пꙋсты́ннымъ:
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 и҆ погна̀ си́ла халде́йскаѧ в̾слѣ́дъ царѧ̀, и҆ ꙗ҆́ша є҆го̀ во а҆равѡ́ѳѣ і҆ерїхѡ́нстѣмъ, и҆ всѧ̀ си́ла є҆гѡ̀ разсы́пасѧ ѿ него̀:
5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 и҆ поѧ́ша царѧ̀ и҆ поведо́ша є҆го̀ къ царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскꙋ въ ревла́ѳꙋ: и҆ глаго́ла съ ни́мъ сꙋ́дъ:
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgment on him.
7 и҆ сы́ны седекі̑ины закла̀ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѻ҆́чи седекі̑ины и҆збодѐ, и҆ свѧза̀ є҆го̀ ᲂу҆́зами, и҆ ѿведѐ є҆го̀ во вавѷлѡ́нъ.
7 They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Въ мцⷭ҇ъ же пѧ́тый, въ седмы́й де́нь мцⷭ҇а, сїѐ лѣ́то девѧтоена́десѧть навꙋходоно́сора царѧ̀ вавѷлѡ́нска, прїи́де навꙋзарда́нъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ, ра́бъ царѧ̀ вавѷлѡ́нскагѡ, во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 и҆ зажжѐ хра́мъ гдⷭ҇ень и҆ до́мъ царе́въ, и҆ всѧ̑ до́мы і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мли и҆ всѧ̑ до́мы вели́кїѧ сожжѐ а҆рхїмагі́ръ:
9 He burned Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire.
10 и҆ стѣ́ны і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мли ѡ҆́крестъ раскопа̀ си́ла халде́йскаѧ.
10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 И҆ ѡ҆ста́нокъ люді́й и҆збы́вшихъ во гра́дѣ и҆ впа́дшихъ, и҆̀же ѿпадо́ша ко царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскꙋ, и҆ про́чее и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе пренесѐ навꙋзарда́нъ воево́да.
11 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who were left in the city and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon—all the rest of the multitude.
12 И҆ ѿ ни́щихъ землѝ тоѧ̀ ѡ҆ста́ви а҆рхїмагі́ръ вїногра́ды блюстѝ и҆ вертогра́ды.
12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
13 И҆ столпы̀ мѣ̑дѧны въ хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇ни, и҆ подста̑вы, и҆ мо́ре мѣ́дное сꙋ́щее во хра́мѣ гдⷭ҇ни сокрꙋши́ша халде́є, и҆ взѧ́ша мѣ́дь и҆́хъ во вавѷлѡ́нъ:
13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in Yahweh’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
14 и҆ коно́бы, и҆ котлы̑ и҆ фїа́лы, и҆ кади̑льницы, и҆ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды мѣ̑дѧныѧ, въ ни́хже слꙋжа́хꙋ, взѧ́ша:
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
15 и҆ кади̑льницы, и҆ фїа́лы златы̑ѧ и҆ срє́брѧныѧ взѧ̀ а҆рхїмагі́ръ,
15 The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, for gold, and that which was of silver, for silver.
16 столпы̀ два̀, и҆ мо́рѧ є҆ди́но, и҆ подста̑вы, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ соломѡ́нъ хра́мꙋ гдⷭ҇ню: не бѣ̀ вѣ́са мѣ́ди всѣ́хъ сосꙋ́дѡвъ.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed.
17 Ѡ҆смина́десѧти лакѡ́тъ бы́сть высота̀ столпа̀ є҆ди́нагѡ, и҆ глава̀ мѣ́дѧна на не́мъ: и҆ высота̀ главѣ̀ трѝ ла̑кти, и҆ на главѣ̀ мрє́жи и҆ шипки̑ ѡ҆́крестъ, всѧ̑ мѣ̑дѧна: по семꙋ́ же и҆ сто́лпъ вторы́й со мре́жею.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it. The height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze; and the second pillar with its network was like these.
18 И҆ поѧ́тъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ саре́а жерца̀ пе́рваго и҆ софо́нїю жерца̀ втора́го, и҆ трѝ стра́жы вра̑тныѧ:
18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
19 и҆ ѿ гра́да взѧ̀ скопца̀ є҆ди́наго, и҆́же бѣ̀ приста́вникъ над̾ мꙋ́жи вое́нными, и҆ пѧ́ть мꙋже́й предстоѧ́щихъ пред̾ лице́мъ царе́вымъ, ѡ҆брѣ́тшихсѧ во гра́дѣ, и҆ книго́чїа кнѧ́зѧ си́лы, и҆́же стро́ѧше лю́ди землѝ тоѧ̀, и҆ шестьдесѧ́тъ мꙋже́й люді́й землѝ тоѧ̀ ѡ҆брѣ́тшихсѧ во гра́дѣ:
19 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
20 и҆ поѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ навꙋзарда́нъ а҆рхїмагі́ръ, и҆ приведѐ ѧ҆̀ къ царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскомꙋ въ ревла́ѳꙋ.
20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 И҆ поразѝ и҆́хъ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй, и҆ ᲂу҆морѝ ѧ҆̀ въ ревла́ѳѣ, въ землѝ є҆ма́ѳѡвѣ. И҆ пресели́сѧ і҆ꙋ́да свы́ше землѝ своеѧ̀.
21 The king of Babylon attacked them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 И҆ лю́дїе ѡ҆ста́вшїисѧ въ землѝ і҆ꙋ́довѣ, и҆̀хже ѡ҆ста́ви навꙋходоно́соръ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй, и҆ поста́ви над̾ ни́ми годолі́ю, сы́на а҆хїка́млѧ, сы́на сафа́нѧ.
22 As for the people who were left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
23 И҆ ᲂу҆слы́шаша всѝ кнѧ̑зи си́лы са́ми и҆ мꙋ́жїе и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ поста́ви ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй годолі́ю, и҆ прїидо́ша къ годолі́и въ массифꙋ̀, и҆ і҆сма́илъ сы́нъ наѳані́инъ, и҆ і҆ѡана́нъ сы́нъ кари́ѳовъ, и҆ сараі́а сы́нъ ѳанама́ѳовъ нетѡфаѳі́тскїй, и҆ і҆езо́нїа сы́нъ махаѳѳо́въ, са́ми и҆ мꙋ́жїе и҆̀хъ (прїидо́ша).
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 И҆ клѧ́тсѧ и҆̀мъ годолі́а и҆ мꙋжє́мъ и҆́хъ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: не бо́йтесѧ прише́ствїѧ халде́євъ: сѣди́те на землѝ и҆ рабо́тайте царю̀ вавѷлѡ́нскомꙋ, и҆ добро̀ бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ.
24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25 И҆ бы́сть въ мцⷭ҇ъ седмы́й, прїи́де і҆сма́илъ сы́нъ наѳані́инъ сы́на є҆лїса́млѧ ѿ сѣ́мене ца́рска, и҆ де́сѧть мꙋже́й съ ни́мъ, и҆ поразѝ годолі́ю, и҆ ᲂу҆́мре, и҆ і҆ꙋде́євъ и҆ халде́євъ, и҆̀же съ ни́мъ бѧ́хꙋ въ массифѣ̀.
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 И҆ воста́ша всѝ лю́дїе, ѿ ма́ла и҆ до вели́ка, и҆ кнѧ̑зи си́лъ, и҆ внидо́ша во є҆гѵ́петъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆боѧ́шасѧ ѿ лица̀ халде́йска.
26 All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 И҆ бы́сть въ лѣ́то три́десѧть седмо́е преселе́нїѧ і҆ѡахі́на царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина, въ дванадесѧ́тый мцⷭ҇ъ, въ два́десѧть седмы́й де́нь мцⷭ҇а, вознесѐ є҆ѵїлмарѡда́хъ ца́рь вавѷлѡ́нскїй, въ лѣ́то ца́рства своегѡ̀, главꙋ̀ і҆ѡахі́на царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина, и҆ и҆зведѐ є҆го̀ и҆з̾ до́мꙋ темни́цы є҆гѡ̀,
27 In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison,
28 и҆ глаго́ла съ ни́мъ блага̑ѧ, и҆ дадѐ престо́лъ є҆мꙋ̀ свы́ше престо́лѡвъ царе́й, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ съ ни́мъ въ вавѷлѡ́нѣ:
28 and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
29 и҆ и҆змѣнѝ ри̑зы є҆гѡ̀ темни́чныѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆дѧ́ше хлѣ́бъ съ ни́мъ всегда̀, во всѧ̑ дни̑ живота̀ своегѡ̀.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
30 И҆ пи́ща є҆гѡ̀ ѿ до́мꙋ ца́рска да́вана бѧ́ше, и҆ всѐ и҆з̾ѻби́лїе во дни̑ є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ̑ дни̑ живота̀ є҆гѡ̀.
30 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
