THE SLAVONIC WORD OF BLESSED ZERUBBABEL

THE SLAVONIC WORD OF BLESSED ZERUBBABEL



Zerubbabel came from Jerusalem for the remainder prisoners to King Darius and asked him, in order to let the rest of the prisoners men, so that the promise of Cyrus, the Persian king, and he commanded to give him (the prisoners).

And Zerubbabel was a warrior king Darius the king and protected with two other servants. And once they have brought the dispute and said to one another, "Let's put forth a riddle, each according to his wisdom, as writing their riddles to read, let the king at the head to wake up, he saw the puzzle to read and write and to evaluate them. And those who write better than the others, will be second only to the king, he will table vessels of gold and silver, and the trappings of his horses will be given to him, the second part will have after the king, and any request to execute it, and one king shall be called " . And they all said, "So be it."

And so agreed in accordance with the rules of the Medes and Persians, which are immutable. And they gave each other lots, and the lot fell upon the first, and it was written (to them): "Nothing is so strong on the ground, like a king." Another wrote: "Wine is the strongest on earth." The third, Zerubbabel, wrote: "There is nothing stronger than the woman on the earth."

They wrote their own puzzles and placed at the head of the king. Then the king, waking up, I heard a whisper of these servants, reached out and took the letter, and read, postponed. When it came his lords, the king called the servants and told them, "Tell your mysteries, and whose will to be wise, to fulfill what is written in the charter of this."

And he said to the first: "Look, the king and the princes, and I tell you! Know brave men of the king, because the king, and strength, and his power over the whole earth, and the sea, and over the country, and above all the people. And they kill and revive, if orders to go to war - will go, and if the king orders to destroy the city - bankrupt. And all that the king will order, do: and the gold and silver mined and military gear train, plow and sow, cultivate the land and plant gardens, and pay tribute to the king, is not eating of their crop. They are afraid of his anger, for all the king braver. And do not break his word for anything. So believe me, there is nothing to equal the king on earth. " And standing there surprised his speech.

And the other replied, saying, "Look, the king and the men of the truly wise, you will know by the king, because he owns all the land, as you heard. Wine is stronger king: his courage is beyond doubt, but when it becomes drunk, and his heart will change, and his speech. Some will sing, and others - to jump, and others - to dance, and others - to fight. (Drunken) ruin worthy of pity, and the wicked will honor, and will have no shame in front of his father and mother. Know all the wine stronger. Who gets drunk, he forgets the letter, and the songs will remember, and the man whispering evil, approx. Bad speech begin and wine arouse anger, others and his friend naked sword. Shamefaced same person (wine) betray shame and feet of people made crooked, and his eyes stir up, and he shall speak without shame. Sober is just remember this and unlocked. Be aware that wine is the hardest. If the Saints were drinking, the wine and those would result in a mess. " And praised his speech.

Urged the king Zerubbabel, third, and said: "Say you and your riddle, as your friend said." Zerubbabel answered: "Listen, O king, and see all the great men! Most of all the king, that he wanted to crushes, as were speeches, spoken about the power of the king and the strength of wine. Woman stronger king and wine, that's all. Because women are very king, the king had a baby, nurse him, educated, clothed him and his filth washed, advising him and possessed him, and held him in severity. He is afraid of her voice and away from it, it can overwhelm his word. Sometimes, however, to take flight (fear) in front of her. And when he's young, and then the fear of punishment it will not forget and will not disturb her words. And then, when he saw a beautiful woman, love the beauty of it, and will not change the love of it and for any wealth. Even my father and mother will leave for the love of a woman. Many have made mistakes because of it, many people were disappointed because of the love for a woman. Many of the killers were because of it, many have gone to hell because of it. Many wise trapped by it. And the feud is between friends and family because of her. Did not understand or do not know what, if it becomes a beautiful woman on the way, then if (a man) and was carrying something in his hand, but his eyes were looking at her, and the whole idea of ​​it - about her, not about that is in their hands. And if she had something to answer him, then all would have dropped, and spoke to her. If you do not believe my words, then tell me who you work for, if not for women? After you buy them all sorts of things, and articles of gold and silver and spices. And wine, and oil who buy, did not a woman? Some rob, steal and kill the other - not whether women bring? And I saw you, O king, seated on his throne, and a crown on the head of yours. And remember, as the daughter of Macedonian Aviosha, your concubine, who was sitting beside you, reached out his hand and took the crown of thy head, and put it upon his head, and thou, O king, laughing, looking at her, and the king should not have to watch. And when it is angry with you, O king, you hugged and kissed her, not to be angry. Hear all that a woman most. She won by Samsonov and David seduced and fascinated by Solomon. And Adam was created by God the father of the world, and it did not a woman from Paradise and death plagued betrayed and deceived the righteous? Hear the same as a woman - the most. But know this, the king and the princes of thy vanity that is the king, who owns land, Vanity have wine and women, for falsehood has all three on land and at sea, and in the people. But where is faith, there will not find true. For the Lord said, "If faith is right, you can move mountains. '" Then all the princes of his mind wondered and said: "Indeed, the young man, truly, your words, and all you have told the truth." Then said (the king) Zerubbabel, "Come to me." And he came. King embraced him and kissed him in front of all the people, and said, "Blessed be the God of Zerubbabel, as the spirit gave him the true faith to glorify the king and the people." And the king commanded to do to Zerubbabel everything as it was written in a document from them, because he has found in the eyes of the king's mercy to all greater than his two friends. And the king said, "Ask, O Zerubbabel, that still wants your soul but written in a document, and up to half of my kingdom will be given to you from me." And the king said to Zerubbabel: "Remember, sir, promise, promise for you and Cyrus king of heaven to the Lord God of hosts to establish a house of God and return to the holy vessels in the holy place, and release the prisoners to the place where we cry out the name of God. And for that they pray to God for the great king and for his kingdom, for the fulfillment of the promise that you made to God in heaven. " And the king commanded to bring their scribes wrote the request of Zerubbabel, who asked to create Jerusalem. Then the king sent to Darius the king Cyrus to with it the promise to build the house of God in Jerusalem. Then King Cyrus ordered all his kingdom, saying, "Who among you fears the God of heaven, let him come to build the house of God. And I will give of its treasury of gold and silver, and all that is necessary. " And the scribes wrote the word Darius, king of the Medes, and Cyrus, the Persian king, princes and all rulers of the city, and all the cities of Aram, Tyre and Sidon, and in Samaria, and Asaph the elder captivity: "Know that God has instituted, the king heaven, let your hearts be captured his men, who captured the King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Son ruined creation of his father, and then stood empty Jerusalem ninety-three year. But now, the vessels returned to the house of the great God and built an altar, and erected a wall of Jerusalem. Be prepared to provide everything you need - silver, gold, copper, stone, wood - the builders, as requested by Zerubbabel and Joshua Iosedekovich. " And went (Zerubbabel and Joshua Iosedekovich) with all the remaining (alive) captured Jerusalem and began to build the city of Jerusalem and the temple, in the words of Darius and Cyrus. And when Titus besieged Jerusalem, the king of the Chaldeans, that he besieged it for two years. And in the second year of the reign of Vespasian captured city. Many prisoners Titus gave as a gift, and they perished in the theaters from predators and the sword. The same who was seventeen years old, sold all the women and children, and for a small price - ten zlatniki as multiplying the number sold and the buyers - has declined. And those who had more than seventeen years, were chained and sent to Egypt to work. The prisoners were nine hundred and seven thousand killed - one million one hundred thousand, and natekli lake of blood, was nowhere to be free, and to put the needle through the corpses. Died of starvation as eleven thousand. They did not want to touch the Roman diet, as disdain (her). The caves also died and four thousand. Then stood empty Jerusalem sixty years. And if someone says that it was impossible to fit so many people in the city, find out from the census Cestius. Since Nero considered insignificant and the Jewish people did not expect any resistance from him, then (Cestius) asked the priests to how may people they counted. When it was Easter, in which they have a custom of sacrifice, and thus connected to more than ten people (one) of the victim - because there is not proper for one (this one) offering, and some twenty people gather for one victim, then counted priests, two hundred fifty thousand six hundred (victims). If the counted ten men on the victim, no more, we get two million nine hundred thousand, only pure and undefiled. And those who are sick with something, or something worthy, or foreigners, or women impure, all those should not touch the victim. From the first of the creation of the temple, built by Solomon, to the current devastation of Jerusalem by Titus was eight hundred and eighty years, seven months and five days. And from the last created when Haggai and Zerubbabel built in the reign of Cyrus, before the captivity - six hundred and thirty years and nine months and fifteen days. Conquered city was six (times): Shishak, the Egyptian king, after Antiochus, then Pompey, then the Соссием*. But they took Jerusalem, left him without trapping (residents). But with the devastation - the first time since Nebuchadnezzar, and the second time Titus emptied his sixty years. First inhabitant of this city was Canaanite king, in the local language called "King of righteousness" from his sanctified (city). The first is to create a city and called it Jerusalem Jewish king David, to expel the remaining Canaanites from the land, and has put his city of David. And after four hundred seventy-seven years to the Babylonians destroyed. From David to this ruin Titus - one thousand one hundred seventy-nine years. And from the first creation to the last captivity - two thousand nine hundred and seven years. Know ye, brethren, God's power and God's wrath on the city. And what a city was so strong, and so many people had, and so brave? There is not stronger and stronger city than Jerusalem. It was around twelve city walls, and these brave men were in it - one in a hundred people came out, and without a fight entered the city. Once, when Titus besieged the city, seven brave to come out and cut through seven rows up to the army of Titus, and nearly captured him, and returned unharmed. Know this effect, but if the mountains, without God's help nothing is impossible for the people and will not do anything without God's help. See what people can not do anything, but where is the king of the faithful who teaches people the law of God is right, then no one can conquer that city, and few if people in it is, but there is strong faith. And that was the end of the capture of Jerusalem.
