2 Samuel 20
1 There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”
И тамо бяше сын беззаконный, имя же ему Савей, сын Вохоров, муж Иеминиов, и воструби трубою рожаною и рече: несть нам части в Давиде, ниже наследия нам в сыне Иессееве: (возвратитеся, ) мужие Израилтестии, в селения ваша.
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
И отступиша вси мужие Израилевы от Давида вслед Савеа сына Вохорова: мужие же Иудины прилепишася к царю своему от Иордана даже и до Иерусалима.
3 David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody and provided them with sustenance, but didn’t go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
И вниде Давид в дом свой во Иерусалим, и взя царь десять жен подложниц своих, яже остави стрещи дом, и даде их в дом стражбы: и препита их, и (оттоле) не вниде к ним: и беша храними до дне смерти своея, вдовски живущя.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”
И рече царь ко Амессаю: созови ми мужы Иудины в три дни, ты же зде стани.
5 So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.
И пойде Амессай созвати мужей Иудиных, и умедли от времене, в неже повеле ему Давид.
6 David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
И рече Давид ко Авессе: ныне зло сотворит нам Савей сын Вохорь паче Авессалома: и ныне ты поими с собою отроки господина своего, и пожени вслед его, да не како обрящет себе грады тверды и застенится от очес наших.
7 Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
И изыдоша вслед его Авесса и мужие Иоавли, и Хереффи и Фелеффи и вси сильнии, и изыдоша из Иерусалима гнати вслед Савеа сына Вохорова.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.
И тии (бяху) у камене великаго, иже в Гаваоне, и Амессай вниде пред ними: Иоав же препоясан ризами одеяния своего, и верху того препоясан мечем припряженым при чреслех его в ножнах его, и егда отиде, и мечь изсунуся и паде.
9 Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
И рече Иоав Амессаю: здрав ли еси, брате? И взя Иоав рукою десною за браду Амессаеву лобзати его:
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
Амессай же не побрежеся меча, иже в руце Иоавли: и удари его Иоав мечем в чресла его, и излияся чрево его на землю, и не повтори ему, и умре (Амессай). Иоав же и Авесса брат его гнаста вслед Савеа сына Вохоря.
11 One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”
И муж ста над ним от отрок Иоавлих и рече: кто хощет (быти) Иоавль, и кто Давидов, вслед Иоава (да идет).
12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
Амессай же мертв валяшеся в крови посреде пути. И виде муж, яко остановляхуся над ним вси людие, и соврати Амессая с пути на село, и возложи на него ризу, понеже видяше всякаго приходяща над ним стоявша:
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
и бысть егда принесе от пути, преидоша вси мужие Израилевы вслед Иоава, еже гнати вслед Савеа сына Вохоря.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.
И сей пройде вся колена Израилева во Авель и во Вефмаху: и вси в Харре, и вси грады собрашася, и идоша вслед его,
15 They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.
и приидоша и ополчишася на него окрест во Авели и во Вефмахе: и насыпаша землю ко граду, и ста на предстении: и вси людие иже со Иоавом помышляху низложити стену (градскую).
16 Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”
И возопи жена мудрая со стены и рече: слышите, слышите, рцыте ныне Иоаву, да приближится до зде, и возглаголю к нему.
17 He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I’m listening.”
И приближися к ней (Иоав), и рече жена: ты ли еси Иоав? Он же рече: аз. И рече ему: послушай словес рабы твоея. И рече Иоав: послушаю, аз есмь.
18 Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.
И рече глаголющи: слово глаголаша в первых, глаголюще: вопрошаемь вопрошен бысть во Авели и в Дане, аще оскудеша, яже положиша вернии Израилевы: вопрошающе да вопросят во Авели, и тако рече, аще оскудеша:
19 I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up Yahweh’s inheritance?”
аз есмь мирная утверждений Израилевых, ты же ищеши умертвити град и матерь градов Израилевых: и почто потопляеши достояние Господне?
20 Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
И отвеща Иоав и рече: милостив мне, милостив мне, аще потоплю и аще разрушу:
21 The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
не тако слово, яко муж с горы Ефремли, Савей сын Вохорь имя ему, и воздвиже руку свою на царя Давида: дадите ми того единаго, и отиду от града. И рече жена ко Иоаву: се, глава его свержется к тебе со стены.
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
И вниде жена ко всем людем и глагола ко всему граду мудростию своею, отяти главу Савеа сына Вохоря. И отсекоша главу Савеа сына Вохоря, и свергоша ю ко Иоаву. И Иоав воструби в трубу, и разыдошася мужие от града вси в селения своя. Иоав же возвратися во Иерусалим ко царю.
23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
И (бе) Иоав над всею силою Израилевою, и Ванеа сын Иодаев над Хереффи и над Фелеффи,
24 Adoram was over the men subject to forced labor, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,
Адонирам же над данми, и Иосафат сын Ахилуфов воспоминаяй,
25 Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,
и Суса книгочий, Садок же и Авиафар иерее,
26 and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
Ирас же Иаринь бысть жрец Давидов.
