< 2 Samuel 11 >
1 It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that David sent out Joab, his servants, and all the army of Israel. They destroyed the army of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in 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 So it came about one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of his palace. From there he happened to see a woman who was bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
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 So David sent and he asked people who would know about the woman. Someone said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, and is she not the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
и посла Давид, и взыска жену, и рече: не сия ли Вирсавиа дщерь Елиавля, жена Урии Хеттеанина?
4 David sent messengers and took her; she came in to him, and he slept with her (for she had just purified herself from menstruation). Then she returned to 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 The woman conceived, and she sent and told David; she said, “I am pregnant.”
И зачат жена во чреве: и пославши возвести Давиду и рече: се, аз есмь во чреве имущая.
6 Then David sent to Joab saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.
И посла Давид ко Иоаву, глаголя: посли ко мне Урию Хеттеанина. И посла Иоав Урию к Давиду.
7 When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab was, how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
И прииде Уриа и вниде к нему, и вопроси его Давид о мире Иоава и о мире людий и о мире брани.
8 David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king's palace, and the king sent a gift for Uriah after he left.
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 palace with all the servants of his master, and he did not go down to his house.
И спа Уриа пред враты дому царева с рабы господина своего, а не иде в дом свой.
10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your 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 Uriah answered David, “The ark, and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my master's servants are camped in an open field. How then can I go into my house to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? As sure as you are alive, I will not do this.”
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 So David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you leave.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.
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 When David called him, he ate and drank before him, and David made him drunk. At evening Uriah went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his master; he did not go 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 So in the morning 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 David wrote in the letter saying, “Set Uriah at the very front of the most intense battle, and then withdraw from him, that he may be hit and killed.”
И написа в писании, глаголя: введи Урию противу брани крепкия и возвратитеся вспять от него, да язвен будет и умрет.
16 So as Joab watched the siege upon the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew the strongest enemy soldiers would be fighting.
И бысть егда стрежаше Иоав у града, и постави Урию на месте, идеже ведяше, яко мужие сильни тамо.
17 When the men of the city went out and fought against Joab's army, some of the soldiers of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite was also killed there.
И изыдоша мужие из града и бияхуся со Иоавом: и падоша от людий от рабов Давидовых, умре же и Уриа Хеттеанин.
18 When Joab sent word to David about everything concerning the war,
И посла Иоав, и возвести Давиду вся словеса, яже о брани, глаголати к царю.
19 he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
И заповеда (Иоав) послу, глаголя: егда скончаеши вся речи, яже от брани, к царю глаголати,
20 it may happen that the king will become angry, and he will say to you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know 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 killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' Then you must answer, 'Your 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 left and went to David and told him everything that Joab had sent him to say.
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 Then the messenger said to David, “The enemy were stronger than we were at first; they came out to us into the field, but we drove them back to 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 Then their shooters shot at your soldiers from off the wall, and some of the king's servants were killed, and your servant Uriah the Hittite was killed too.”
и стреляша стрелцы со стены на рабы твоя, и умроша от отрок царских, и раб твой Уриа Хеттеанин умре.
25 Then David said to the messenger, “Say this to Joab, 'Do not let this displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle even stronger against the city, and overthrow it,' and encourage 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 So when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented deeply for her husband.
И услыша жена Уриина, яко умре Уриа муж ея, и рыдаше по мужи своем.
27 When her sorrow passed, David sent and took her home to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done displeased Yahweh.
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.
