1 Chronicles 14
1 One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
И послал Хирам, царь Тирский, к Давиду послов, и кедровые деревья, и каменщиков, и плотников, чтобы построить ему дом.
2 [When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
Когда узнал Давид, что утвердил его Господь царем над Израилем, что вознесено высоко царство его, ради народа его Израиля,
3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
тогда взял Давид еще жен в Иерусалиме, и родил Давид еще сыновей и дочерей.
4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
И вот имена родившихся у него в Иерусалиме: Самус, Совав, Нафан, Соломон,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
Евеар, Елисуа, Елфалет,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
Ногах, Нафек, Иафиа,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
и Елисама, Веелиада и Елифалеф.
8 When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
И услышали Филистимляне, что помазан Давид в царя над всем Израилем, и поднялись все Филистимляне искать Давида. И услышал Давид об этом и пошел против них.
9 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
И Филистимляне пришли и расположились в долине Рефаимов.
10 David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
И вопросил Давид Бога, говоря: идти ли мне против Филистимлян, и предашь ли их в руки мои? И сказал ему Господь: иди, и Я предам их в руки твои.
11 So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
И пошли они в Ваал-Перацим, и поразил их там Давид; и сказал Давид: сломил Бог врагов моих рукою моею, как прорыв воды. Посему и дали имя месту тому: Ваал-Перацим.
12 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
И оставили там Филистимляне богов своих, и повелел Давид, и сожжены они огнем.
13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
И пришли опять Филистимляне и расположились по долине.
14 So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
И еще вопросил Давид Бога, и сказал ему Бог: не ходи прямо на них, уклонись от них и иди к ним со стороны тутовых дерев;
15 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
и когда услышишь шум как бы шагов на вершинах тутовых дерев, тогда вступи в битву, ибо вышел Бог пред тобою, чтобы поразить стан Филистимлян.
16 So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
И сделал Давид, как повелел ему Бог; и поразили стан Филистимский, от Гаваона до Газера.
17 So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
И пронеслось имя Давидово по всем землям, и Господь сделал его страшным для всех народов.
