2 Samuel 15
1 Now after this, Absalom got for himself a carriage and horses, and fifty runners to go before him.
И бысть по сих, и сотвори себе Авессалом колесницы и кони и пятьдесят муж текущих пред ним:
2 And Absalom got up early, morning after morning, and took his place at the side of the public meeting-place: and when any man had a cause which had to come to the king to be judged, then Absalom, crying out to him, said, What is your town? and he would say, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
и воставаше рано Авессалом, и стояше при самем пути врат: и бысть всяк муж, емуже бяше пря, прииде пред царя на суд, и возопи к нему Авессалом, и глаголаше ему: от коего града ты еси? И рече ему муж: от единаго колен Израилевых раб твой.
3 And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.
И рече к нему Авессалом: се, словеса твоя блага и удобна, но слушающаго несть ти от царя.
4 And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!
И рече Авессалом: кто мя поставит судию на земли, и ко мне приидет всяк муж имеяй прю и суд, и оправдаю его?
5 And if any man came near to give him honour, he took him by the hand and gave him a kiss.
И бысть егда приближашеся муж поклонитися ему, и простираше руку свою, и приимаше его, и целоваше его.
6 And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.
И сотвори Авессалом по глаголу сему всему Израилю приходящым на суд к царю и приусвои Авессалом сердца сынов Израилевых.
7 Now at the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, Let me go to Hebron and give effect to the oath which I made to the Lord:
И бысть от конца четыредесяти лет, и рече Авессалом ко отцу своему: пойду ныне и воздам обеты моя, яже обещах Господу в Хевроне:
8 For while I was living in Geshur in Aram, your servant made an oath, saying, If ever the Lord lets me come back to Jerusalem, I will give him worship in Hebron.
зане обет обеща раб твой, егда жих в Гедсуре Сирийстем, глаголя: аще возвращая возвратит мя Господь во Иерусалим, и послужу Господу.
9 And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he got up and went to Hebron.
И рече ему царь: иди с миром. И востав иде в Хеврон.
10 But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.
И посла Авессалом соглядатаи во вся колена Израилева, глаголя: егда услышите вы глас трубы рожаны, и рцыте: воцарися царь Авессалом в Хевроне.
11 And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.
И идоша со Авессаломом двести мужей от Иерусалима позвани: и идяху в простоте своей, и не разумеша всякаго глагола.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.
И посла Авессалом, и призва Ахитофела Галамонийскаго, советника Давидова, от града его Голамы, егда жряше жертвы. И бысть смятение крепко: и людий множество идущих со Авессаломом.
13 And one came to David and said, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.
И прииде вестник к Давиду, глаголя: бысть сердце мужей Израилевых со Авессаломом.
14 And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.
И рече Давид всем отроком своим сущым с ним во Иерусалиме: востаните, и бежим, яко несть нам спасения от лица Авессаломля: ускорите ити, да не ускорит и возмет нас, и наведет на нас злобу, и избиет град острием меча.
15 And the king's servants said to the king, See, your servants are ready to do whatever the king says is to be done.
И реша отроцы царевы к царю: вся елика заповесть господь наш царь, се, мы отроцы твои.
16 So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.
И изыде царь и весь дом его ногами своими, и остави царь десять жен подложниц своих хранити дом.
17 And the king went out, and all his servants went after him, and made a stop at the Far House.
И изыде царь и вси отроцы его пеши и сташа в Дому Сущем Далече:
18 And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.
и вси отроцы его от обою страну его идяху, и вси Хелефее и вси Фелефее и вси Гефее, шесть сот мужей шедше пеши от Гефа предидяху пред лицем царевым.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why are you coming with us? go back and keep with the king: for you are a man of another country, you are far from the land of your birth.
И рече царь ко Еффею Геффеину: почто и ты идеши с нами? Возвратися и живи с царем, яко чуждь еси ты, и яко преселился еси ты от места твоего:
20 It was only yesterday you came to us; why then am I to make you go up and down with us? for I have to go where I may; go back then, and take your countrymen with you, and may the Lord's mercy and good faith be with you.
аще вчера пришел еси, и днесь ли подвигну тя ити с нами? И аз иду, аможе пойду: иди и возвратися, и возврати братию твою с тобою, и Господь да сотворит с тобою милость и истину.
21 And Ittai the Gittite in answer said, By the living Lord, and by the life of my lord the king, in whatever place my lord the king may be, for life or death, there will your servant be.
И отвеща Еффей к царю и рече: жив Господь, и жив господин мой царь, яко на месте, идеже будет господин мой царь, или в смерти, или в животе, тамо будет раб твой.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.
И рече царь ко Еффею: гряди, и прейди со мною. И прейде Еффей Геффеин и царь и вси отроцы его и весь народ иже с ним.
23 And there was great weeping in all the country when all the people went through; and the king himself was waiting in the Kidron valley and all the people went by him in the direction of the olive-tree on the edge of the waste land.
И вся земля плакашеся гласом великим. И вси людие прехождаху по потоку Кедрску, и царь прейде чрез поток Кедрский, и вси людие и царь идяху к лицу пути пустыннаго.
24 Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.
И се, и Садок иерей и вси левити с ним, носяще кивот завета Господня от Вефары: и поставиша кивот Божий: и Авиафар взыде, дондеже престаша вси людие исходити из града.
25 And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back into the town: if I have grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will let me come back and see it and his House again:
И рече царь к Садоку: возврати кивот Божий во град, и да станет на месте своем: аще обрящу благодать пред очима Господнима, и возвратит мя, и покажет ми его и лепоту его:
26 But if he says, I have no delight in you: then, here I am; let him do to me what seems good to him.
и аще тако речет: не благоволих в тебе: се, аз есмь, да сотворит ми по благому пред очима Своима.
27 The king said further to Zadok the priest, See, you and Abiathar are to go back to the town in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.
И рече царь Садоку иерею: видите, ты возвращаешися во град с миром и Ахимаас сын твой и Ионафан сын Авиафаров, два сыны ваши с вами:
28 See, I will be waiting at the way across the river, in the waste land, till I get news from you.
видите, аз вселяюся во аравоф пустынный, дондеже приидет ми слово от вас, еже возвестити ми.
29 So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.
И возврати Садок и Авиафар кивот Божий во Иерусалим, и седе тамо.
30 And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.
И Давид восхождаше восходом на гору Елеонскую восходя и плачася, и покрыв главу свою, и сам идяше босыма ногама: и вси людие иже с ним покрыша кийждо главу свою, и восхождаху восходяще и плачущеся.
31 And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.
И возвестиша Давиду глаголюще: и Ахитофел в мятежницех со Авессаломом. И рече Давид: разруши совет Ахитофелев, Господи, Боже мой.
32 Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:
И бе Давид грядый даже до роса, идеже поклонися Богу. И се, на сретение ему (изыде) Хусий первый друг Давидов, растерзав ризы своя, и персть на главе его.
33 David said to him, If you go on with me, you will be a trouble to me:
И рече ему Давид: аще пойдеши со мною, и будеши ми в тягость:
34 But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.
аще же возвратишися во град и речеши Авессалому: минуша братия твоя, и царь за мною мину отец твой, и ныне раб твой есмь, царю, пощади мя жива быти: раб бех отца твоего тогда и доселе, ныне же аз твой раб: и разруши ми совет Ахитофелев:
35 And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
и се, с тобою тамо Садок и Авиафар иерее: и будет всяк глагол, егоже услышиши из уст царских, и скажеши Садоку и Авиафару иереем:
36 See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.
се, тамо с ними два сына их, Ахимаас сын Садоков и Ионафан сын Авиафаров: и послите рукою их ко мне всяк глагол, егоже аще услышите.
37 So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.
И вниде Хусий друг Давидов во град, и Авессалом тогда вхождаше во Иерусалим.
