< Kings II 11 >
1 And it came to pass when the time o the year for kings going out [to battle] had come round, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbath: but David remained at Jerusalem.
И бысть по возвращении лета, во время исхождения царей (на брань), и посла Давид Иоава и отроки своя с ним, и всего Израиля: и расточиша сыны Аммони и обседоша окрест Раввафа, и Давид седе во Иерусалиме.
2 And it came to pass towards evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the king's house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
И бысть при вечере, и воста Давид от ложа своего, и хождаше на крове дому царскаго, и увиде жену с крова мыющуюся: жена же взором добра велми:
3 And David sent and enquired about the woman: and [one] said, [Is] not this Bersabee the daughter of Eliab, the wife of Urias the Chettite?
и посла Давид, и взыска жену, и рече: не сия ли Вирсавиа дщерь Елиавля, жена Урии Хеттеанина?
4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified from her uncleanness, and returned to her house.
И посла Давид слуги, и взя ю, и вниде к ней, и преспа с нею: и та бе очистилася от нечистоты своея, и возвратися в дом свой.
5 And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
И зачат жена во чреве: и пославши возвести Давиду и рече: се, аз есмь во чреве имущая.
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.
И посла Давид ко Иоаву, глаголя: посли ко мне Урию Хеттеанина. И посла Иоав Урию к Давиду.
7 And Urias arrived and went in to him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how the war went on.
И прииде Уриа и вниде к нему, и вопроси его Давид о мире Иоава и о мире людий и о мире брани.
8 And David said to Urias, Go to your house, and wash your feet: and Urias departed from the house of the king, and a portion [of meat] from the king followed him.
И рече Давид ко Урии: иди в дом твой, и умый нозе твои. И изыде Уриа из дому царева, и иде вслед его снедь царева.
9 And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
И спа Уриа пред враты дому царева с рабы господина своего, а не иде в дом свой.
10 And they brought David word, saying, Urias has not gone down to his house. And David said to Urias, Are you not come from a journey? why have you not gone down to your house?
И возвестиша Давиду, глаголюще: яко не ходи Уриа в дом свой. И рече Давид ко Урии: не с пути ли пришел еси? Почто не вшел еси в дом твой?
11 And Urias said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Juda dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how [should I do this? as] your soul lives, I will not do this thing.
И рече Уриа к Давиду: кивот Божий и Израиль и Иуда пребывают в кущах, и господин мой Иоав и раби господина моего на лицы сел пребывают, аз же вниду ли в дом мой ясти и пити и спати с женою моею? Како? Жива душа твоя, аще сотворю глагол сей.
12 And David said to Urias, Remain here today also, and to-morrow I will let you go. So Urias remained in Jerusalem that day and the day following.
И рече Давид ко Урии: поседи зде и днесь, и заутра отпущу тя. И пребысть Уриа во Иерусалиме в той день и во утрешний.
13 And David called him, and he ate before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
И призва его Давид, и яде пред ним и пияше, и упои его, и отиде в вечер спати на ложе свое с рабы господина своего, в дом же свой не иде.
14 And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.
И бысть утро, и написа Давид писание ко Иоаву, и посла рукою Урииною.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Urias in front of the severe [part] of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die.
И написа в писании, глаголя: введи Урию противу брани крепкия и возвратитеся вспять от него, да язвен будет и умрет.
16 And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew that valiant men were.
И бысть егда стрежаше Иоав у града, и постави Урию на месте, идеже ведяше, яко мужие сильни тамо.
17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Urias the Chettite died also.
И изыдоша мужие из града и бияхуся со Иоавом: и падоша от людий от рабов Давидовых, умре же и Уриа Хеттеанин.
18 And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.
И посла Иоав, и возвести Давиду вся словеса, яже о брани, глаголати к царю.
19 And he charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,
И заповеда (Иоав) послу, глаголя: егда скончаеши вся речи, яже от брани, к царю глаголати,
20 then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to you, Why did you draw near to the city to fight? knew you not that they would shoot from off the wall?
и будет аще разгневается царь и речет ти: почто приближистеся ко граду на брань? Не ведасте ли, яко стреляти будут с стены?
21 Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did you draw near to the wall? then you shall say, Your servant Urias the Chettite is also dead.
Кто уби Авимелеха сына Иеровааля сына Нирова? Не жена ли верже нань уломком жернова с стены, (и урази его, ) и умре в Фамасе? Почто приступасте к стене? И речеши: и раб твой Уриа Хеттеанин (убиен бысть, и) умре.
22 And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did you draw near to the wall to fight? knew you not that you would be wounded from off the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did you draw near to the wall?
И иде посол Иоавль к царю во Иерусалим, и прииде, и возвести Давиду вся, елика глагола ему Иоав, вся глаголы брани. И разгневася Давид на Иоава и рече к послу: почто приближистеся ко граду битися? Не ведасте ли, яко язвени будете со стены? Кто уби Авимелеха сына Иеровааля? Не жена ли верже нань уломок жернова со стены, и умре в Фамасе? Почто приближистеся к стене?
23 And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.
И рече посол к Давиду: яко укрепишася на ны мужие и изыдоша на ны на село, и гонихом я до врат града:
24 And the archers shot at your servants from off the wall, and some of the king's servants died, and your servant Urias the Chettite is dead also.
и стреляша стрелцы со стены на рабы твоя, и умроша от отрок царских, и раб твой Уриа Хеттеанин умре.
25 And David said to the messenger, Thus shall you say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in your eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at another: strengthen your array against the city, and destroy it, and strengthen him.
И рече Давид к послу: сице да речеши ко Иоаву: да не будет зло пред очима твоима слово сие, яко овогда убо сице, овогда же инако поядает мечь: укрепи брань твою на град, и раскопай и: и укрепи его.
26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
И услыша жена Уриина, яко умре Уриа муж ея, и рыдаше по мужи своем.
27 And the time of mourning expired, and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the Lord.
И прейде плачь, и посла Давид, и введе ю в дом свой, и бысть ему жена, и роди ему сына. И зол явися глагол, егоже сотвори Давид, пред очима Господнима.
