1 И отложился Моав от Израиля по смерти Ахава.
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Охозия же упал чрез решетку с горницы своей, что в Самарии, и занемог. И послал послов, и сказал им: пойдите, спросите у Веельзевула, божества Аккаронского: выздоровею ли я от сей болезни? [И пошли они спрашивать.]
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this sickness.”
3 Тогда Ангел Господень сказал Илии Фесвитянину: встань, пойди навстречу посланным от царя Самарийского и скажи им: разве нет Бога в Израиле, что вы идете вопрошать Веельзевула, божество Аккаронское?
3 But Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 За это так говорит Господь: с постели, на которую ты лег, не сойдешь с нее, но умрешь. И пошел Илия, [и сказал им].
4 Now therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
5 И возвратились к Охозии посланные. И он сказал им: что это вы возвратились?
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
6 И сказали ему: навстречу нам вышел человек и сказал нам: пойдите, возвратитесь к царю, который послал вас, и скажите ему: так говорит Господь: разве нет Бога в Израиле, что ты посылаешь вопрошать Веельзевула, божество Аккаронское? За то с постели, на которую ты лег, не сойдешь с нее, но умрешь.
6 They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Yahweh says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
7 И сказал им: каков видом тот человек, который вышел навстречу вам и говорил вам слова сии?
7 He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
8 Они сказали ему: человек тот весь в волосах и кожаным поясом подпоясан по чреслам своим. И сказал он: это Илия Фесвитянин.
8 They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 И послал к нему пятидесятника с его пятидесятком. И он взошел к нему, когда Илия сидел на верху горы, и сказал ему: человек Божий! царь говорит: сойди.
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
10 И отвечал Илия, и сказал пятидесятнику: если я человек Божий, то пусть сойдет огонь с неба и попалит тебя и твой пятидесяток. И сошел огонь с неба и попалил его и пятидесяток его.
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 И послал к нему царь другого пятидесятника с его пятидесятком. И он стал говорить ему: человек Божий! так сказал царь: сойди скорее.
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
12 И отвечал Илия и сказал ему: если я человек Божий, то пусть сойдет огонь с неба и попалит тебя и твой пятидесяток. И сошел огонь Божий с неба, и попалил его и пятидесяток его.
12 Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 И еще послал в третий раз пятидесятника с его пятидесятком. И поднялся, и пришел пятидесятник третий, и пал на колена свои пред Илиею, и умолял его, и говорил ему: человек Божий! да не будет презрена душа моя и душа рабов твоих — сих пятидесяти — пред очами твоими;
13 Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
14 вот, сошел огонь с неба, и попалил двух пятидесятников прежних с их пятидесятками; но теперь да не будет презрена душа моя пред очами твоими!
14 Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15 И сказал Ангел Господень Илии: пойди с ним, не бойся его. И он встал, и пошел с ним к царю.
15 Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
16 И сказал ему: так говорит Господь: за то, что ты посылал послов вопрошать Веельзевула, божество Аккаронское, как будто в Израиле нет Бога, чтобы вопрошать о слове Его, — с постели, на которую ты лег, не сойдешь с нее, но умрешь.
16 He said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
17 И умер он по слову Господню, которое изрек Илия. И воцарился Иорам [брат Охозии], вместо него, во второй год Иорама, сына Иосафатова, царя Иудейского, так как сына у того не было.
17 So he died according to Yahweh’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
18 Прочее об Охозии, что он сделал, написано в летописи царей Израильских.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Hence it is that Elijah inflicted death on many, both with his own hand and by calling down fire from heaven; as was done also without rashness by many other great and godlike men, in the same spirit of concern for the good of humanity.

Thus, for instance, both Peter appears to have been "girded," and Paul; for it saith, "the man that owneth this girdle." And Elijah too was thus arrayed, and every one of the saints, because they were at work continually, laboring, and busying themselves either in journeyings, or about some other necessary matter; and not for this cause only, but also …
