< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 Then Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, heard that Abner had fallen in Hebron. And his hands were weakened, and all of Israel was troubled.
И слыша Иевосфей сын Сауль, яко умре Авенир сын Ниров в Хевроне, и ослабеша руце его, и вси мужие Израилевы изнемогоша.
2 Now the son of Saul had two men, leaders among robbers. The name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other was Rechab, sons of Rimmon, a Beerothite from the sons of Benjamin. For indeed, Beeroth, too, was reputed with Benjamin.
И два мужа старейшины полков Иевосфеа сына Сауля: имя единому Ваана и имя другому Рихав, сынове Реммона Вирофейскаго от сынов Вениаминих: яко Вироф вменяшеся в сынех Вениаминих.
3 And the Beerothites had fled into Gittaim. And they were strangers there, until that time.
И отбегоша Вирофее в Гефем, и беша тамо живуще до днешняго дне.
4 Now Jonathan, the son of Saul, had a son with disabled feet. For he was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan arrived from Jezreel. And so, his nurse, taking him up, fled. And while she was hurrying, so that she might flee, he fell and was made lame. And he was called Mephibosheth.
И Ионафану сыну Саулю сын бе хром ногама, сын пяти лет: и той, егда прииде возвещение о Сауле и Ионафане сыне его от Иезраеля, и взят его пестунница его, и бежа: и бысть тщащейся ей на отшествие, и паде, и охроме, имя же ему Мемфивосфей.
5 And so, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, arrived and entered the house of Ishbosheth, in the heat of the day. And he was sleeping on his bed at midday. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleaning the wheat, fell fast asleep.
И поидоста сынове Реммона Вирофейскаго, Рихав и Ваана, и внидоста во время зноя дневнаго в дом Иевосфеов, и той почиваше на одре в полудне:
6 Then they entered the house secretly, taking the ears of grain. And Rechab and his brother Baanah stabbed him in the groin, and they fled away.
и се, вратник дому очищаше пшеницу и воздрема и спаше, Рихав же и Ваана братия утаившася внидоста в дом:
7 For when they had entered the house, he was sleeping on his bed in a closed room. And striking him, they killed him. And taking his head, they departed by the way of the desert, walking throughout the night.
Иевосфей же почиваше на одре своем в ложнице своей: и биста его, и умертвиста его, и отяста главу его, и взяста главу его, и отидоста путем иже на запад всю нощь:
8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. And they said to the king: “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who was seeking your life. And so, the Lord has avenged my lord the king, this day, from Saul and from his offspring.”
и принесоста главу Иевосфеову к Давиду в Хеврон и реста к царю: се, глава Иевосфеа сына Саулова врага твоего, иже искаше души твоея, и даде Господь господину нашему царю отмщение врагов его, якоже день сей, от Саула врага твоего и от семене его.
9 But David, responding to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, said to them: “As the Lord lives who has rescued my soul from all distress,
И отвеща Давид Рихаву и Ваане брату его, сыном Реммона Вирофейскаго, и рече има: жив Господь, иже избави душу мою от всякия скорби:
10 the one who reported to me and said, ‘Saul is dead,’ who was thinking that he announced good news, I apprehended. And at Ziklag I killed him who ought to have been given a reward for the news.
ибо возвестивый мне, яко умре Саул и Ионафан, и той бяше аки благовествуяй предо мною, и ях его и убих его в Секелазе, емуже должен бех дати дар:
11 How much more so now, when impious men have put to death an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood from your hand, and take you away from the earth?”
и ныне мужие лукавии убиша мужа праведна в дому его на одре его, и ныне взыщу крове его от руки вашея и искореню вас от земли.
12 And so, David commanded his servants, and they put them to death. And cutting off their hands and feet, they suspended them up over the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ishbosheth they took and buried in the sepulcher of Abner at Hebron.
И заповеда Давид отроком своим, и убиша их, и отсекоша руце их и нозе их, и повесиша их над источником в Хевроне, и главу Иевосфеову погребоша во гробе Авенира сына Нирова (в Хевроне).
