< 2 Samuel 3 >
1 Now there was long war between Saul’s house and David’s house. David grew stronger and stronger, but Saul’s house grew weaker and weaker.
И бысть брань на много между домом Саулим и между домом Давидовым, и дом Давидов возвышашеся и укрепляшеся, дом же Сауль идяше и изнемогаше.
2 Sons were born to David in Hebron. His firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
И родишася Давиду в Хевроне сынов шесть: и бе первородный ему Амнон от Ахинаамы Иезраилитыни,
3 and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
и вторый ему сын Далуиа от Авигеи Кармилския, и третий Авессалом сын Маахи дщере Фолми царя Гессирска,
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
четвертый Адониа сын Аггифы, и пятый Сафатиа от Авиталы,
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
и шестый Иефераам от Еглы жены Давидовы: сии родишася Давиду в Хевроне.
6 While there was war between Saul’s house and David’s house, Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house.
И бысть внегда быти брани между домом Саулим и между домом Давидовым, и бяше Авенир держа дом Саулов.
7 Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”
И Саулова подложница бе, ейже бе имя Ресфа, дщерь Иоля. И вниде к ней Авенир, и рече Иевосфей сын Сауль ко Авениру: что яко вшел еси к подложнице отца моего?
8 Then Abner was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words, and said, “Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to your father Saul’s house, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman!
И разгневася зело Авенир о словеси сем на Иевосфеа и рече ему Авенир: еда песия глава есмь аз? Сотворих днесь милость дому Саула отца твоего и братии и знаемым, и не отступих в дом Давидов, и ищеши на мне ты о неправде жены днесь?
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I don’t do even so to him:
Сия да сотворит Бог Авениру и сия да приложит ему, зане якоже клятся Господь Давиду, тако сотворю ему в сей день,
10 to transfer the kingdom from Saul’s house, and to set up David’s throne over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
еже отяти царство от дому Сауля и воздвигнути престол Давидов во Израили и во Иуде от Дана даже до Вирсавии.
11 He could not answer Abner another word, because he was afraid of him.
И не возможе ктому Иевосфей отвещати Авениру словесе от боязни, яже к нему.
12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “Whose is the land?” and saying, “Make your alliance with me, and behold, my hand will be with you to bring all Israel around to you.”
И посла Авенир к Давиду послы в Фелам, идеже бе, абие, глаголя: положи завет твой со мною, и се, рука моя с тобою, еже возвратити ми к тебе весь дом Израилев.
13 David said, “Good. I will make a treaty with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you will not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.”
И рече Давид: добре, аз положу с тобою завет, токмо словесе единаго прошу у тебе, глаголя: не имаши видети лица моего, аще не приведеши Мелхолы дщере Саули, приходящу ти видети лице мое.
14 David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I was given to marry for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
И посла Давид ко Иевосфею сыну Саулю вестники, глаголя: отдаждь мне жену мою Мелхолу, юже взях за сто необрезаний иноплеменничих.
15 Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish.
И посла Иевосфей, и взят ю от мужа ея от Фалтиила сына Селлимова.
16 Her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go! Return!” and he returned.
И идяше муж ея с нею плачася даже до Варакима. И рече к нему Авенир: иди, возвратися. И возвратися.
17 Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, “In times past, you sought for David to be king over you.
И рече Авенир к старейшинам Израилевым, глаголя: вчера и третияго дне искасте Давида, да царствует над вами:
18 Now then do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.’”
и ныне сотворите, якоже Господь глагола о Давиде, глаголя: рукою раба Моего Давида спасу люди Моя Израиля от руки иноплеменничи и от руки всех врагов их.
19 Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
И глагола Авенир во ушы Вениамину: и иде Авенир глаголати во ушы Давидовы в Хеврон вся, елика угодна беша пред очима Израилевыма и пред очима всего дому Вениаминя.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
И прииде Авенир к Давиду в Хеврон, и с ним двадесять мужей. И сотвори Давид пир Авениру и мужем его иже с ним.
21 Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.” David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
И рече Авенир к Давиду: востану ныне и пойду и соберу к господину моему царю всего Израиля, и положу с ним завет, и царствовати имаши всеми, ихже желает душа твоя. И посла Давид Авенира, и иде с миром.
22 Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
И се, отроцы Давидовы и Иоав идяху от исхода и корысть многу несяху с собою, и Авенир уже не бе с Давидом в Хевроне, яко отслан бяше, и отиде с миром.
23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
Иоав же и все воинство его прииде: и возвестиша Иоаву, глаголюще: прихождаше Авенир сын Ниров к Давиду, и отсла его, и отиде с миром.
24 Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?
И вниде Иоав к царю и рече: что сие сотворил еси? Се, прихождаше Авенир к тебе, и почто отпустил еси его, и отиде с миром?
25 You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.”
Или не веси злобы Авенира сына Нирова, яко слукавствовати к тебе прииде, и уразумети исход твой и вход твой, и уведати вся елика твориши ты?
26 When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.
И возвратися Иоав от Давида, и посла послы вслед Авенира, и возвратиша его от кладязя Сеирамска: Давид же не ведяше.
27 When Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.
И возврати Авенира в Хеврон, и соврати его Иоав на страну от врат глаголати к нему лукавно: и удари его в лядвия, и умре в крови Асаила брата Иоавля.
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
И услыша Давид по сих и рече: чист есмь аз и царство мое от Господа и отныне и до века от крове Авенира сына Нирова:
29 Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”
да снидет на главу Иоавлю и на весь дом отца его, и да не оскудеет от дому Иоавля изливаяй семя, и прокаженный, и держайся жезла, и падаяй оружием, и умаленный хлебами.
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Иоав же и Авесса брат его наблюдаху Авенира, понеже уби Асаила брата их в Гаваоне на брани.
31 David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.
И рече Давид ко Иоаву и ко всем людем его: раздерите ризы вашя и препояшитеся вретищы, и рыдайте о Авенире. Сам же царь Давид идяше вслед одра.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at Abner’s grave; and all the people wept.
И погребоша Авенира в Хевроне. И воздвиже царь глас свой и плакася над гробом его, и вси людие плакаша о Авенире.
33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?
И плакася царь над Авениром и рече: еда смертию Навала умре Авенир?
34 Your hands weren’t bound, and your feet weren’t put into fetters. As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell.” All the people wept again over him.
Руце твои не связаны, нозе твои не во оковах: не приступил еси якоже Навал, пред сынми неправды пал еси. И собрашася вси людие плакатися его,
35 All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else, until the sun goes down.”
и приидоша вси людие предложити Давиду ясти хлебы еще сущу дни. И клятся Давид, глаголя: сия да сотворит ми Бог и сия да приложит, яко аще не зайдет солнце, не имам вкусити хлеба ни иного чего.
36 All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them, as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
И познаша вси людие, и угодна быша пред ними вся, елика сотвори царь пред людьми.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
И разумеша вси людие и весь Израиль в той день, яко не бысть от царя убийства Авениру сыну Нирову.
38 The king said to his servants, “Don’t you know that a prince and a great man has fallen today in Israel?
И рече царь отроком своим: не весте ли, яко властелин велик паде в сей день во Израили?
39 I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”
И яко аз есмь ближний днесь и возставлен в царя? Мужие же сии сынове Саруины жесточайшии мене суть: да воздаст Господь творящему лукавная по злобе его.
