2 Samuel 16
1 And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.
И Давид прейде мало что от роса, и се, Сива отрок Мемфивосфеов в сретение ему: и супруг ослят оседланых, и на них двести хлебов, и сто гроздий, и сто фиников, и мех вина.
2 And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.
И рече царь к Сиве: что сия тебе? И рече Сива: ослята на яждение дому цареву, а хлебы и финики на снедение отроком, и вино пити ослабевшым в пустыни.
3 And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.
И рече царь: и где сын господина твоего? И рече Сива ко царю: се, седит во Иерусалиме, яко рече: днесь возвратят ми весь дом Израилев царство отца моего.
4 Then the king said to Ziba, Truly everything which was Mephibosheth's is yours. And Ziba said, I give honour to my lord, may I have grace in your eyes, my lord, O king!
И рече царь к Сиве: се, тебе вся елика суть Мемфивосфеова. И рече Сива поклонився: да обрящу благодать пред очима твоима, господи мой царю.
5 And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.
И прииде Давид царь до Вафирима, и се, оттуду муж исхождаше от рода дому Сауля, имя же ему Семей сын Гирань: изыде же исходя и проклиная
6 And he sent stones at David and at all the king's servants and at all the people and at all the men of war by his side, on the right hand and on the left.
и камением метая на Давида и на вся отроки царя Давида: и вси людие и вси сильнии одесную и ошуюю царя бяху.
7 And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:
И тако рече Семей проклиная его: изыди, изыди, мужу кровей и мужу беззаконный:
8 The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.
возврати на тя Господь вся крови дому Сауля, понеже воцарился еси вместо его: и даде Господь царство в руце Авессалома сына твоего: и се, ты в злобе твоей, яко муж кровей ты.
9 Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.
И рече Авесса сын Саруин ко царю: почто проклинает пес умерший сей господина моего царя? Ныне пойду, и отиму главу его.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?
И рече царь ко Авессе: что мне и вам, сынове Саруины? Оставите его, и тако да проклинает, яко Господь рече ему проклинати Давида: и кто речет: почто сотворил еси тако?
11 And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.
И рече Давид ко Авессе и ко всем отроком своим: се, сын мой изшедый из чрева моего ищет души моея, а кольми паче сын Иеминиев: оставите его проклинати мя, яко рече ему Господь:
12 It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.
негли призрит Господь на смирение мое, и возвратит ми благая вместо клятвы Его во днешний день.
13 So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.
И идяше Давид и вси мужие его путем: а Семей идяше со страны горы близ его идый и проклиная, и камением меща со страны его, и перстию сыпая.
14 And the king and his people came tired to Jordan, and took their rest there.
И прииде царь и вси людие иже с ним утруждени, и препочиша ту.
15 And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
Авессалом же и вси мужие Израилевы внидоша во Иерусалим, и Ахитофел с ним.
16 Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!
И бысть егда прииде Хусий первый друг Давидов ко Авессалому: и рече Хусий ко Авессалому: да живет царь.
17 And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?
И рече Авессалом к Хусию: сия ли милость твоя со другом твоим? Почто не отшел еси со другом твоим?
18 And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.
И рече Хусий ко Авессалому: ни, но вслед (иду), егоже избра Господь и людие сии и вси мужие Израилевы, того есмь, и с тем буду:
19 And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.
и второе, кому аз поработаю? Не пред сыном ли его? Якоже работах пред отцем твоим, тако буду и пред тобою.
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?
И рече Авессалом ко Ахитофелу: дадите себе совет, что сотворим?
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong.
И рече Ахитофел ко Авессалому: вниди к подложницам отца твоего, яже остави стрещи дом свой, и услышат вси Израилтяне, яко посрамил еси отца твоего, и возмогут руки всех сущих с тобою.
22 So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.
И поставиша Авессалому шатер на палате, и вниде Авессалом к подложницам отца своего пред очима всех Израилтян.
23 In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.
И совет Ахитофелев, егоже совещаваше во дни первыя, имже образом вопросил бы кто Бога о словеси, тако всяк совет Ахитофелев, и иже Давиду, и иже Авессалому.
