Третья книга Царств 1

1 И царь Давид бысть стар прешед дни, и одеваху его ризами (многими), и не согревашеся.

Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he got no heat.

2 И реша отроцы его ему: да поищут господину нашему царю девицы юныя, и предстоит цареви, и будет греющи его, и да лежит с ним, и согреется господин наш царь.

Why his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

3 И искаша отроковицы добрыя от всего предела Израилева, и обретоша Ависагу Сумантяныню, и приведоша ю ко царю.

So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4 И бе отроковица добра видением зело: и бысть греющи царя и служаше ему: царь же не позна ея.

And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.

5 И Адониа сын Аггифин вознесеся, глаголя: аз имам царствовати. И сотвори себе колесницы и конники, и пятьдесят мужей еже ходити пред ним.

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

6 И не возбрани ему отец его никогда, глаголя: почто сие ты сотворил еси? И бе той красен зраком зело, и того роди по Авессаломе.

And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why have you done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bore him after Absalom.

7 И беша совети его со Иоавом сыном Саруиным и со Авиафаром иереом, и помогаху вслед Адонии.

And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.

8 Садок же иерей и Ванеа сын Иодаев, и Нафан пророк и Семей, и Рисий и сынове сильнии Давидовы не быша по Адонии.

But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

9 И пожре Адониа овцы и телцы и агнцы при камени Зоелефе, иже бе близ источника Рогиля: и призва всю братию свою, сыны царевы, и вся мужы Иудовы, отроки царевы:

And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brothers the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s servants:

10 Нафана же пророка и Ванеа и сильных и Соломона брата своего не зва.

But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

11 И рече Нафан ко Вирсавии матери Соломони, глаголя: не слышала ли еси, яко воцарися Адониа сын Аггифин, господин же наш Давид не весть:

Why Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith does reign, and David our lord knows it not?

12 ныне убо совещаю ти совет, и избавиши душу свою и душу сына твоего Соломона:

Now therefore come, let me, I pray you, give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.

13 гряди, вниди к царю Давиду и речеши к нему, глаголющи: не ты ли, господи мой царю, клялся еси рабе твоей, глаголя: яко Соломон сын твой имать царствовати по мне, и той сядет на престоле моем? И что яко воцарися Адониа?

Go and get you in to king David, and say to him, Did not you, my lord, O king, swear to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then does Adonijah reign?

14 И се, еще глаголющей тебе тамо со царем, и аз вниду вслед тебе и дополню словеса твоя.

Behold, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.

15 И вниде Вирсавиа ко царю в ложницу. И царь стар зело, и Ависаг Сумантяныня бяше служащи царю.

And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered to the king.

16 И приклонися Вирсавиа и поклонися цареви. И рече царь: что ти есть?

And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What would you?

17 Она же рече: господи мой царю, ты клялся еси пред Господем Богом твоим рабе твоей, глаголя: яко сын твой Соломон имать царствовати по мне, и той сядет на престоле моем:

And she said to him, My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.

18 и се, ныне Адониа царствует, ты же, господи мой царю, не веси:

And now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and now, my lord the king, you know it not:

19 и пожре телцы и агнцы и овцы во множестве, и созва вся сыны царевы, и Авиафара жерца и Иоава князя силы, Соломона же раба твоего не призва:

And he has slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon your servant has he not called.

20 ты же, господи мой царю, очи всего Израиля к тебе: да возвестиши им, кто сядет на престоле господина моего царя по нем:

And you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 и будет егда уснет господин мой царь со отцы своими, и буду аз и сын мой Соломон грешни.

Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

22 И се, еще ей глаголющей с царем, и Нафан пророк прииде.

And, see, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

23 И возвестиша царю, глаголюще се, Нафан пророк. И вниде пред лице царево, и поклонися царю пред лицем его до земли,

And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

24 и рече Нафан: господи мой царю, ты ли рекл еси: Адониа да царствует по мне, и той да сядет на престоле моем?

And Nathan said, My lord, O king, have you said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?

25 Яко сниде днесь и закла телцы и агнцы и овцы во множестве, и созва вся сыны царевы и князи сильных, и Авиафара иереа: и се, суть ядуще и пиюще пред ним, и реша: да живет царь Адониа:

For he is gone down this day, and has slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.

26 и мене самаго раба твоего, и Садока иереа, и Ванеа сына Иодаева, и Соломона раба твоего не зва:

But me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, has he not called.

27 от господина ли царя моего бысть глагол сей? И не сказал еси рабу твоему, кто сядет на престоле господина моего царя по нем?

Is this thing done by my lord the king, and you have not showed it to your servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

28 И отвеща царь Давид и рече: призовите ми Вирсавию. И вниде (Вирсавиа) пред царя и ста пред лицем его.

Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.

29 И клятся царь и рече: жив Господь, иже избави душу мою от всея печали:

And the king swore, and said, As the LORD lives, that has redeemed my soul out of all distress,

30 якоже бо кляхтися пред Господем Богом Израилевым, глаголя: яко Соломон сын твой воцарится по мне, и той сядет на престоле моем вместо мене, яко тако сотворю ему в днешний день.

Even as I swore to you by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

31 И преклонися Вирсавиа лицем на землю, и поклонися царю и рече: да живет господин мой царь Давид во веки.

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.

32 И рече царь Давид: призовите мне Садока жерца и Нафана пророка, и Ванеа сына Иодаева. И внидоша пред царя.

And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

33 И рече им царь: поимите с собою рабы господина вашего, и всадите сына моего Соломона на мска моего, и ведите его к Гиону,

The king also said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

34 и да помажет его тамо Садок иерей и Нафан пророк в царя над Израилем, и вострубите трубою рожаною и речете: да живет царь Соломон:

And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow you with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.

35 и изыдите вслед его, и внидет, и сядет на престоле моем, и той воцарится вместо мене: и аз заповедах, да будет властелин над Израилем и Иудою.

Then you shall come up after him, that he may come and sit on my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

36 И отвеща Ванеа сын Иодаев царю и рече: буди тако: да утвердит Господь Бог глагол сей господина моего царя:

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

37 якоже бе Господь со господином моим царем, тако да будет и с Соломоном, и да возвеличит престол его паче престола господина моего царя Давида.

As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

38 И сниде Садок иерей и Нафан пророк, и Ванеа сын Иодаев, и Хереффи и Фелеффи, и всадиша Соломона на мска царя Давида, и возведоша его к Гиону:

So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride on king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.

39 и взя Садок иерей рог с елеем от скинии, и помаза Соломона, и воструби трубою рожаною, и реша вси людие: да живет царь Соломон.

And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.

40 И взыдоша вси людие вслед его и ликоваша в лицех, и веселяхуся веселием великим, и разседеся земля от гласа их.

And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

41 И слыша Адониа и вси званнии его, и тии скончаша уже ядуще. И слыша Иоав глас трубы рожаны и рече: кий глас есть града шумяща?

And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

42 И еще Ему глаголющу, и се, Ионафан сын Авиафара иереа прииде. И рече Адониа: вниди, яко муж силы ты еси, и благая возвести.

And while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for you are a valiant man, and bring good tidings.

43 И отвеща Ионафан и рече: известно, господин наш царь Давид постави Соломона царем:

And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Truly our lord king David has made Solomon king.

44 и посла с ним царь Садока иереа и Нафана пророка, и Ванеа сына Иодаева, и Хереффи и Фелеффи, и всадиша его на мска царева:

And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride on the king’s mule:

45 и помазаша его Садок иерей и Нафан пророк на царство в Гионе, и взыдоша оттуду веселящеся, и возшуме град: сей глас, егоже слышасте:

And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.

46 и седе Соломон на престоле царстем:

And also Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.

47 и внидоша раби царевы благословити господина нашего царя Давида, глаголюще: да ублажит Бог имя Соломона сына твоего паче имене твоего, и да возвеличит престол его паче престола твоего: и поклонися царь на одре своем,

And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne. And the king bowed himself on the bed.

48 и сице рече царь: благословен Господь Бог Израилев, Иже даде днесь от семене моего седяща на престоле моем, и очи мои видят.

And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.

49 И ужасошася ужасом, и восташа вси званнии Адониевы, и отиде кийждо путем своим.

And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.

50 И Адониа убояся от лица Соломоня, и воста и отиде, и ятся за рог олтаря.

And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

51 И возвестиша Соломону, глаголюще: се, Адониа убояся царя Соломона, и держится за рог олтаря, глаголя: да кленетмися днесь царь Соломон, яко не убиет раба своего оружием.

And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon: for, see, he has caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

52 И рече Соломон: аще будет сын силы, ни влас главы его упадет на землю: аще же злоба обрящется в нем, умрет.

And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

53 И посла царь Соломон, и сведоша его со олтаря. И вниде, и поклонися царю Соломону. И рече ему Соломон: иди в дом свой.

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
