< 2 Samuel 10 >
1 And it came to pass, after this, that the king of the sons of Ammon died, —and that Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
И бысть по сих, и умре царь сынов Аммоних, и царствова сын его Аннон вместо его.
2 Then said David—I will shew lovingkindness unto Hanun son of Nahash, as his father shewed, unto me, lovingkindness. So David sent to comfort him, by the hand of his servants, as to his father, —and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon.
И рече Давид: сотворю милость со Анноном сыном Наасовым, имже образом сотвори отец его милость со мною. И посла Давид утешити его рукою рабов своих о отце его. И приидоша отроцы Давидовы в землю сынов Аммоних.
3 Then said the rulers of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun their lord—Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, that he hath sent unto thee comforters? Is it not, for the sake of exploring the city, and spying it out, and overthrowing it, that David hath sent his servants unto thee?
И реша старейшины сынов Аммоних ко Аннону господину своему: еда прославления ради отца твоего пред тобою посла к тебе Давид утешители? Не да испытают ли град, и соглядают его, еже разрушити его, посла Давид рабы своя к тебе?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off half their beards, and cut off their upper garments in the middle, as far as their buttocks, —and let them go.
И взя Аннон отроки Давидовы, и остриже половину брад их, и обреза одеяния их половину даже до чресл их, и отпусти их.
5 And, when they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed, —and the king said—Tarry at Jericho, until your beards be grown, then shall ye return.
И возвестиша Давиду о мужех, и посла в сретение им, яко беша мужие тии обезчещени зело. И рече царь: седите во Иерихоне, дондеже возрастут брады вашя, и возвратитеся.
6 And, when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious with David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba—twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah—a thousand men, and men of Tob—twelve thousand men.
И видеша сынове Аммони, яко посрамлени быша людие Давидовы: и послаша сынове Аммони, и наяша Сирию Вефраамлю, и Сирию Сувску и Роовлю двадесять тысящ пешцев, и царя Амалика Мааха тысящу мужей, и Истова дванадесять тысящ мужей.
7 And, when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes,
И слыша Давид, и посла Иоава и всю силу сильных.
8 And the sons of Ammon came out, and set in array for battle, at the entrance of the gate, —whereas, the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and of Maacah, were by themselves, in the field.
И изыдоша сынове Аммони, и устроиша брань пред враты града: Сириа же Сувска и Роов, и Истов и Амалик, едини (сташа) на селе.
9 And, when Joab saw that the front of the battle was towards him, before and behind, he chose out of all the chosen men of Israel, and set them in array against the Syrians;
И виде Иоав, яко бысть на него противное лице брани сопреди и созади, и избра от всех юнош Израилевых, и устрои их противу Сириан,
10 while, the rest of the people, he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, —and set [them] in array against the sons of Ammon.
останок же людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе и устрои я противу сынов Аммоних,
11 And he said—If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou become my deliverance, —but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I come with deliverance to thee.
и рече (Иоав ко Авессе): аще укрепится Сириа паче мене, и будете мне на спасение: аще же укрепятся сынове Аммони паче тебе, и будем спасати тя:
12 Be strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, —and, Yahweh, do what is good in his own eyes.
мужаимся и укрепимся о людех наших и о градех Бога нашего, и Господь сотворит благое пред очима Своима.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, to fight against the Syrians, —and they fled before him.
И прииде Иоав и людие его с ним на брань на Сирию, и побегоша от лица его.
14 And, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled they before Abishai, and entered the city, —so Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and entered Jerusalem.
И видеша сынове Аммони, яко бежаша Сириане, и бежаша от лица Авессы и внидоша во град. И возвратися Иоав от сынов Аммоних, и прииде во Иерусалим.
15 And, when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they gathered themselves together;
И видеша Сириане, яко падоша пред Израилем, и собрашася вкупе.
16 and Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River, and they entered Helam, —Shobach the prince of the host of Hadadezer being before them.
И посла Адраазар, и собра Сирианы, иже об он пол реки Халамака, и приидоша во Елам: и Совак старейшина силы Адраазаровы пред ними.
17 And, when it was told David, he gathered together all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and entered Helam, —and the Syrians set themselves in array to meet David, and fought with him.
И возвестиша Давиду, и собра всего Израиля, и прейде Иордан, и прииде во Елам. И устроишася Сириане на Давида, и брашася с ним,
18 Then fled the Syrians before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, —Shobach also, prince of their host, smote he, that he died, there.
и бежаша Сириане от лица Израилтян. И отя Давид от Сирии седмь сот колесниц и четыредесять тысящ конник, и Совака старейшину силы его уби, и умре тамо.
19 And, when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them, —and the Syrians feared to give help any more unto the sons of Ammon.
И видеша вси царие раби Адраазаровы, яко падоша пред Израилем, и пребегоша ко Израилю и работаша им: и убояшася Сириане спасати ктому сынов Аммоних.
