2 Samuel 11
1 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried 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 at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw 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 inquired after the woman. And one said: 'Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?'
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 she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness; and she returned unto 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 Uriah the Hittite.' And Joab sent Uriah to David.
И посла Давид ко Иоаву, глаголя: посли ко мне Урию Хеттеанина. И посла Иоав Урию к Давиду.
7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
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 Uriah: 'Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet.' And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of food from the king.
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 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all 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 when they had told David, saying: 'Uriah went not down unto his house', David said unto Uriah: 'Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy 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 Uriah said unto David: 'The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, 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 Uriah: 'Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart.' So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
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 when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk; and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but 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 it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
И бысть утро, и написа Давид писание ко Иоаву, и посла рукою Урииною.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying: 'Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, 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, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the 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 there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
И изыдоша мужие из града и бияхуся со Иоавом: и падоша от людий от рабов Давидовых, умре же и Уриа Хеттеанин.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
И посла Иоав, и возвести Давиду вся словеса, яже о брани, глаголати к царю.
19 and he charged the messenger, saying: 'When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,
И заповеда (Иоав) послу, глаголя: егда скончаеши вся речи, яже от брани, к царю глаголати,
20 it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee: Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from 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 smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say: Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'
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 So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
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 unto David: 'The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance 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 shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'
и стреляша стрелцы со стены на рабы твоя, и умроша от отрок царских, и раб твой Уриа Хеттеанин умре.
25 Then David said unto the messenger: 'Thus shalt thou say unto Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth in one manner or another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it; and encourage thou 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 when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
И услыша жена Уриина, яко умре Уриа муж ея, и рыдаше по мужи своем.
27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased 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.
