2 Samuel 17
1 Then said Ahithophel unto Absolom: I pray thee, let me choose for myself, twelve thousand men, and arise, and pursue David to-night;
И рече Ахитофел ко Авессалому: изберу ныне себе дванадесять тысящ мужей и востану, и пожену вслед Давида нощию,
2 and let me come upon him, when, he, is weary, and weak-handed, so shall I strike him with terror, and all the people who are with him shall flee, —then will I smite the king alone:
и найду на него, и той утружден и ослаблен руками, и устрашу его, и побежат вси людие иже с ним, и убию царя единаго:
3 that I may bring back all the people unto thee, —when all return—[save] the man whom thou art seeking, all the people, will be at peace.
и возвращу вся люди к тебе, имже образом обращается невеста к мужеви своему: ты бо токмо души единаго мужа ищеши, всем же людем будет мир.
4 And the saying was right in the eyes of Absolom, —and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
И угодно слово бысть пред очима Авессаломлима и пред очима всех старейшин Израилевых.
5 Then said Absolom, I pray you, call ye Hushai the Archite also, —and let us hear what is in, his, mouth, also.
И рече Авессалом: призовите же и Хусиа Арахиина, и услышим что из уст его.
6 And, when Hushai came in unto Absolom, Absolom spake unto him, saying—After this manner, hath Ahithophel spoken, shall we do what he saith? if not, thou, speak.
И вниде Хусий ко Авессалому, и рече Авессалом к нему, глаголя: по глаголу сему глагола Ахитофел: сотворим ли по словеси его? Аще же ни, ты глаголи.
7 Then said Hushai unto Absolom, —Not good, is the counsel that Ahithophel hath given—at this time.
И рече Хусий ко Авессалому: не благ совет сей, егоже совеща Ахитофел единою сие.
8 And Hushai said—Thou, knowest thy father and his men—that, men of might, they are, and, embittered in soul, they are, like a bear bereaved of her young, in the field, —thy father also, is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
И рече Хусий: ты веси отца твоего и мужей его, яко сильни суть зело, и гневливи душами своими, яко медведица чад лишеная на селе, и аки вепрь свирепый на поли: и отец твой муж борец, и не даст почити людем:
9 Lo! by this time, hath, he, hidden himself in some pit, or other place, —and it shall be, as soon as he falleth upon them at the first, that he that hearkeneth for tidings will hear [of it], and will say—There is a defeat among the people that are following Absolom:
се бо, той ныне скрыся на некоторем холме или на некоторем месте: и будет внегда напасти на них в начале, и услышит слушаяй, и речет: бысть сокрушение в людех иже за Авессаломом:
10 then will, even the son of valour himself, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, utterly melt, —for all Israel do know that, a man of might, is thy father, and that, sons of valour, are they who are with him.
и той сын силы, емуже сердце якоже сердце льву таящо истает: понеже весть весь Израиль, яко силен отец твой, и сынове силы вси иже с ним:
11 Therefore I counsel—that there be a general gathering together unto thee of all Israel, from Dan even unto Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude, —and that, thine own presence, be going on in their midst.
тако советуя аз усоветовах, и собираяся соберется к тебе весь Израиль от Дана и до Вирсавии, аки песок иже при мори во множестве, и лице твое идущее посреде их:
12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he hath been found, yea, we, shall be upon him, as when the dew falleth upon the ground, —and there shall not be left of him, or of the men that are with him, so much as one.
и приидем к нему на едино место, идеже обрящем его тамо, и ополчимся на него, якоже спадает роса на землю, и не оставим в нем и в мужех его иже с ним ни единаго:
13 But, if, into a city, he withdraw, then will all Israel bring up unto that city, ropes, —and we will drag it down unto the ravine, until there be not found in that place, so much as a small stone.
и аще во град соберутся, и возмет весь Израиль ко граду тому ужы, и совлечем его в поток, дондеже не останется тамо ниже камень.
14 Then said Absolom and all the men of Israel, Better, is the counsel of Hushai the Archite, than the counsel of Ahithophel. Yahweh, indeed, had given charge to frustrate the wise counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yahweh might bring upon Absolom, ruin.
И рече Авессалом и вси мужие Израилтестии: благ совет Хусиа Арахиина паче совета Ахитофелева. И Господь заповеда разорити совет Ахитофелев благий, яко да наведет Господь на Авессалома злая вся.
15 So Hushai said unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus, did Ahithophel counsel Absolom and the elders of Israel, —and, thus and thus, have, I, counselled.
И рече Хусий арахиин ко Садоку и Авиафару иереем: тако и тако советова Ахитофел Авессалому и старейшинам Израилевым: и аз тако и тако советовах:
16 Now, therefore, send quickly, and tell David, saying, —Do not lodge to-night in the waste plains of the wilderness, thou must, even pass over, lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.
и ныне послите скоро и возвестите Давиду, глаголюще: не пребуди нощь сию во Аравофе пустыни, но пойти потщися, да не како пожерт будет царь и вси людие иже с ним.
17 Now, Jonathan and Ahimaaz, were staying by En-rogel, and a maidservant was to go and tell them, and, they, were to go and tell King David, —for they might not be seen to enter the city.
И Ионафан и Ахимаас стояста на студенце Рогили, и иде рабыня и поведа има: и тии идоста и возвестиста Давиду царю, яко не могоста явитися еже внити во град.
18 And, though a young man did see them, and told Absolom, yet they both departed quickly, and entered the house of a man in Bahurim, and, he, had a well in his court, into which they went down;
И виде их отрочищь и поведа Авессалому. И идоста оба скоро и приидоста в дом мужа в Ваурим: и тому ров на дворе, и снидоста тамо.
19 and the woman took and spread the cover over the face of the well, and spread thereon her pounded corn, —so nothing was known.
И взя жена, и положи покров на устии рова, и суши на нем арафоф, и не познася глагол.
20 Then came the servants of Absolom unto the woman in the house, and said—Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them—They have passed over the stream of water. And, when they had searched and not found, they returned to Jerusalem.
И приидоша отроцы Авессаломли к жене в дом и реша: где Ахимаас и Ионафан? И рече им жена: преидоста вмале воду. И искаша, и не обретоша, и возвратишася во Иерусалим.
21 And it came to pass, after those had gone, that these came up out of the well, and went, and told King David, —and said unto David, —Arise ye and pass quickly over the water, for, thus and thus, hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
Бысть же по отшествии их, и излезоста из рова, и идоста, и возвестиста Давиду царю и глаголаста ему: востаните, и прейдите скоро воду, яко сице совеща на вы Ахитофел.
22 So David arose, and all the people who were with him, and passed over the Jordan, by the morning light, so much as one, was not lacking, who had not passed over the Jordan.
И воста Давид и вси людие иже с ним и преидоша Иордан до света заутра, и ни един не оста, иже бы не прешел Иордана.
23 Now, when, Ahithophel, saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose and went unto his own house, unto his own city, and gave charge unto his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the grave of his father.
И Ахитофел виде, яко не сбыстся совет его, и оседла осля свое, и воста, и отиде в дом свой, во град свой: и заповеда дому своему, и удавися, и умре, и погребен бысть во гробе отца своего.
24 When, David, had come to Mahanaim, Absolom, had passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
И Давид прейде в Манаим, Авессалом же прейде Иордан сам и вси мужие Израилтестии с ним.
25 Now Absolom had appointed, Amasa, instead of Joab, over the army, —Amasa, being the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Ishmaelite, who went in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab.
И Амессая постави Авессалом вместо Иоава над силою: Амессай же сын мужа, емуже имя Иефер Иезраилитин, сей вниде ко Авигеи дщери Иессеине, сестре Саруии матере Иоавли.
26 And Israel and Absolom encamped in the land of Gilead.
И ополчися Авессалом и весь Израиль в земли Галаадстей.
27 And it came to pass, when David entered Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash of Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and Machir son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, of Rogelim,
И бысть егда вниде Давид в Манаим, и Уесвий сын Наасов от Раввафа сынов Аммоних, и Махир сын Амииль иже из Лодавара, и Верзеллий Галаадитин из Рогеллима,
28 brought, sleeping rugs, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat and barley, and meal and roasted corn, —and beans and lentils, and parched pulse;
принесоша десять постель устроеных и конобов десять и сосуды скуделны и пшеницу и ячмень и муку и пшено и боб и сочевицу
29 and honey and cream, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat, —for they said, The people, are hungry and weary and thirsty, in the wilderness.
и мед и масло и овцы и сыры кравия, и принесоша Давиду и людем иже с ним ясти: быша бо людие гладни и утруждени и жаждни в пустыни.
