Третья книга Царств 11
1 И царь Соломон бе женолюбив, и поя жены чуждыя, и дщерь фараоню, Моавитяныни, Амманитяныни, и Аморреаныни,
King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, there were women from the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
2 от язык, ихже отрече Господь сыном Израилевым: не входите в ня, и тии да не входят в вас, да не отвратят душ ваших вслед идол своих: к тем прилепися Соломон любити,
They were from the nations that the Lord had warned the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for they will undoubtedly convince you to worship their gods.” Yet Solomon because of his love for women held on to them.
3 и быша ему жен началных седмь сот, и подложниц триста.
He had seven hundred wives of noble birth and three hundred concubines. His wives did convince him to turn away from the Lord.
4 И бысть в время старости Соломони, и совратиша жены чуждия сердце его вслед богов иных, и не бе сердце его совершенно с Господем Богом его, якоже сердце Давида отца его,
As Solomon grew old, his wives led him to follow other gods, and he did not commit himself wholeheartedly to the Lord as his father David had done.
5 и хождаше Соломон вслед Астарта мерзости Сидонския и вслед царя их, идола сынов Аммоних.
Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, vile god of the Ammonites.
6 И сотвори Соломон лукавое пред Господем: и не хождаше вслед Господа, якоже Давид отец его.
This was how Solomon did evil in the Lord's sight, and was not completely dedicated to the Lord as his father David was.
7 Тогда созда Соломон высоко (капище) Хамосу, идолу Моавлю, и царю их, идолу сынов Аммоних, и Астарте, мерзости Сидонстей, на горе яже пред Иерусалимом:
It was then that Solomon built a high place of worship for Chemosh, the vile god of the people of Moab, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites, on a hill east of Jerusalem.
8 и тако сотвори всем женам своим чуждим, яже кадяху и жряху идолом своим.
He built places of worship for all his foreign wives where they burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 И разгневася Господь на Соломона, яко уклони сердце свое от Господа Бога Израилева, и явльшагося ему дважды
The Lord became angry with Solomon because he had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10 и заповедавшаго ему дважды о словеси сем, весма не ходити ему вслед богов инех, но хранити и творити яже заповеда ему Господь Бог,
The Lord had warned Solomon about this—that he should not worship other gods. But Solomon did not listen to the Lord's warning.
11 и рече Господь к Соломону: понеже быша сия с тобою, и не сохранил еси заповедий Моих и повелений Моих, яже заповедах тебе, раздирая раздеру царство твое из руку твоею и дам е рабу твоему:
So the Lord told him, “Since this is what you have done, and since you have not kept my agreement and my laws that I commanded, I will definitely take the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.
12 обаче во дни твоя не сотворю сих Давида ради отца твоего: от руки же сына твоего отиму е:
However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do this in your lifetime—I will take it away from your son.
13 токмо всего царства не возму, скипетр един дам сыну твоему Давида ради раба Моего и Иерусалима ради града, егоже избрах.
Even then I will not take away the whole kingdom. I will leave your son with one tribe for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of my chosen city Jerusalem.”
14 И воздвиже Господь противника на Соломона Адера Идумеанина от семене царска во Идумеи.
Then the Lord encouraged Hadad the Edomite of Edom's royal family to oppose Solomon.
15 И бысть егда искорени Давид Едома, егда иде Иоав воевода вой погребати побиенныя, изсече всяк мужеск пол во Идумеи:
Previously, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the Israelite army had gone to bury some of his soldiers who had been killed, and had slaughtered every male in Edom.
16 яко шесть месяц седяше тамо Иоав и весь Израиль во Идумеи, дондеже изби всяк мужеск пол в Идумеи:
Joab and the whole Israelite army had spent six months there destroying them all.
17 и избеже Адер сам и вси мужие Идумейстии от отроков отца его с ним, и внидоша во Египет: Адер же бяше отрочищь мал.
But Hadad and some Edomites who had been his father's officials had run away to Egypt—Hadad was just a boy at the time.
18 И восташа мужие из града Мадиамска, и приидоша в Фаран, и взяша мужей с собою и приидоша к фараону царю Египетскому. И вниде Адер к фараону, и даде ему (царь) дом, и пищу определи ему, и землю даде ему.
They left Midian and went to Paran. Then, along with some people from Paran, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. He provided Hadad with a house and food, and also assigned him land as a gift.
19 И обрете Адер благодать пред очима фараонима зело, и даде ему в жену сестру жены своея, сестру Фекемины болшую.
Pharaoh became very friendly with Hadad, and he gave him the sister of his own wife to marry, Queen Tahpenes' sister.
20 И роди ему сестра Фекемины Адеру Ганивафа сына своего, и воскорми его Фекемина посреде сынов фараоних, и бе Ганиваф посреде сынов фараоних.
She gave birth to his son called Genubath. Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's palace with Pharaoh's own children.
21 И Адер услыша бо Египте, яко успе Давид со отцы своими, и яко умре Иоав воевода воинству, и рече Адер к фараону: отпусти мя, да возвращуся в землю мою.
However, when news reached Hadad in Egypt that both David and Joab, the commander of the army, had died, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me leave and return to my own country.”
22 И рече фараон Адеру: чим ты не доволен еси у мене? И се, ты просишися отити в землю свою? И рече ему Адер: яко отпущая да отпустиши мя. И возвратися Адер в землю свою.
Pharaoh asked him, “Is there anything that you have lacked here with me that now you want to go back to your own country?” “No, there's nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please just let me go home.”
23 И воздвиже Господь противника Соломону Разона, сына Елиадаева, иже убеже от Ададезера царя Сувска, господина своего.
God also encouraged Rezon, son of Eliada, to oppose Solomon. He had run away from his master Hadadezer, king of Zobah. After David had destroyed Zobah's army,
24 И собрашася к нему мужие, и бе воевода полка мятежнаго, егда убиваше я Давид: и идоша в Дамаск, и седоша в нем, и воцаришася в Дамасце.
Rezon gathered around him a rebel band, and became their leader. They went and settled in Damascus, where they took over.
25 И бе стужая Израилеви во вся дни Соломони: сия злоба Адера: и отягчи Израиля и воцарися в земли Едомстей.
Rezon was Israel's enemy throughout Solomon's lifetime which added to the trouble Hadad caused. Rezon really hated Israel, and was the ruler of Aram.
26 И Иеровоам сын Наватов, Ефрафянин от Сариры, сын жены вдовицы, раб Соломонов, и воздвиже руце на царя Соломона.
In addition, Jeroboam, son of Nebat, rebelled against the king. One of Solomon's officials, he was an Ephraimite from Zeredah. His mother was a widow called Zeruah.
27 И сия вина, яко воздвиже руце на царя Соломона: царь Соломон созидаше Краеградие и ограждаше стеною град Давида отца своего:
This is why he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces and had closed the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
28 Иеровоам же человек крепок силою. И виде Соломон отрока, яко муж дел есть, и постави его над бременами дому Иосифова.
Jeroboam was a man of ability, and when Solomon realized how successful he was in what he did, he placed him command of all the forced labor of the tribes of Joseph.
29 И бысть во время оно, и Иеровоам изыде из Иерусалима, и обрете его Ахиа Силонитянин пророк на пути, и соврати его с пути: и бе Ахиа облечен в ризу нову: и (беста) оба едины на поли.
Around that time the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was leaving Jerusalem.
30 И взя Ахиа за ризу свою новую, яже бе на нем, и раздра ю на дванадесять жребий,
Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were by themselves in the countryside. Ahijah took the new cloak he was wearing and ripped it up into twelve pieces.
31 и рече Иеровоаму: приими себе десять жребий, яко тако глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: се, Аз отторгаю царство из руки Соломони, и дам ти хоругвий десять:
He said, “Jeroboam, take ten pieces. This is what the Lord God of Israel says. ‘Jeroboam, I am the Lord, the God of Israel, and I am going to take Solomon's kingdom from him and give you ten of the tribes.
32 и две хоругви будут ему, раба ради Моего Давида и Иерусалима ради града, егоже избрах Себе от всех колен Израилевых,
One tribe will be left for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I chose from among all the tribes of Israel.
33 занеже остави Мя и поклонися Астарте мерзости Сидонстей и Хамосу и кумиром Моавлим и царю их претыканию сынов Аммоних, и не пойде по путем Моим, еже творити угодная предо Мною, якоже Давид отец его:
This is because they have abandoned me and bowed down in worship of Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and Molech, god of the Ammonites. They have not followed my ways; they have not done what is right in my sight; they have not kept my commandments and laws as David, Solomon's father, did.
34 и не отиму царства всего от руку его, понеже защищая защищу его во вся дни живота его, Давида ради раба Моего, егоже избрах, иже сохрани заповеди Моя и оправдания:
Even so, I'm not going to take the whole kingdom from Solomon, because I made him ruler for his lifetime for the sake of my servant David. I chose him because he kept my commandments and laws.
35 и отиму царство от руки сына его, и дам ти десять хоругвий,
But I will take from his son's kingdom ten tribes and give them to you.
36 сыну же его дам две хоругви, яко да будет престол рабу Моему Давиду во вся дни предо Мною во Иерусалиме граде, егоже избрах Себе на положение имени Моему тамо:
I will give his son one tribe, so that my servant David will always have a descendant like a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to be honored.
37 и прииму тя, и воцаришися, в нихже желает душа твоя, и ты будеши царь над Израилем:
I will take you, and you shall reign over everything that you want. You will be king over Israel.
38 и будет аще сохраниши вся, елика заповедаю ти, и пойдеши по путем Моим, и сотвориши угодная предо Мною, хранити заповеди Моя и повеления Моя, якоже сотвори Давид раб Мой, и буду с тобою, и созижду ти дом верен, якоже создах Давиду, и дам ти Израиля:
If you accept everything that I command you, if you follow my ways, if you do what is right in my sight, keeping my laws and commandments as my servant David did, then I will be with you. I will set up for you a dynasty that lasts, just as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.
39 и озлоблю род Давидов за сия, но не во вся дни.
I will punish David's descendants because of this, but not forever.”
40 И искаше Соломон убити Иеровоама. И воста Иеровоам, и убежа во Египет к Сусакиму царю Египетску, и бе во Египте, дондеже Соломон умре.
So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam ran away to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt. He remained there until Solomon's death.
41 И прочая словес Соломоних, и вся елика сотвори, и весь смысл его, не се ли, сия писана быша в книзе словес Соломоних?
The record of the rest of the acts of Solomon, including everything he did, and his wisdom, are written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon.
42 И дние, в няже царствова Соломон во Иерусалиме над всем Израилем, четыредесять лет.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel for a total of forty years.
43 И успе Соломон со отцы своими: и погребоша его во граде Давида отца его, и воцарися Ровоам сын его вместо его.
Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
