Третья книга Царств 2
1 И приближишася Давиду дние умрети ему, и заповеда Соломону сыну своему, глаголя:
Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
2 аз отхожду в путь всея земли: ты же крепися, и буди муж совершен,
“I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.
3 и сохрани завет Господа Бога твоего, еже ходити во всех путех Его, хранити заповеди Его и оправдания Его, и судбы Его и свидения Его, писанная в законе Моисеове: да разумееши яже сотвориши по всем, елика заповедах тебе:
And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
4 да утвердит Господь слово Свое, еже рече о мне, глаголя: аще сохранят сынове твои пути своя, еже ходити предо Мною во истине всем сердцем своим и всею душею своею, глаголя: не искоренится тебе муж с престола Израилева:
So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
5 и ты веси, елика сотвори мне Иоав сын Саруин, елика сотвори двема воеводама сил Израилевых, Авениру сыну Нирову и Амессаю сыну Иеферову, и уби их, и излия крови брани в мире, и даде кровь неповинных на поясе своем, иже на чреслех его, и на сапозе своем сущем на нозе его:
Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.
Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace. (Sheol h7585)
7 сыном же Верзеллии Галаадитина сотвориши милость, и да будут с ядущими трапезу твою: яко тако приближишася мне, внегда бежати мне от лица Авессалома брата твоего:
Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
8 и се, с тобою Семей сын Гирань сын Иемениин от Ваурима, и той прокля мя проклятием горьким, в день в оньже исхождах в Полки: и той сниде на сретение ми на Иордан, и кляхся ему о Господе, глаголя: не убию тя оружием:
Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’
9 и да не обезвиниши его, яко муж мудр еси ты, и увеси что сотвориши ему, и сведеши старость его с кровию во ад. (Sheol h7585)
yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
10 И успе Давид со отцы своими, и погребен бысть во граде Давидове.
And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.
11 И бысть дний, в няже царствова Давид во Израили, четыредесять лет: в Хевроне царствова седмь лет, во Иерусалиме же тридесять три лета.
Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
12 И Соломон седе на престоле Давида отца своего сын дванадесяти лет, и уготовася царствие его зело.
Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
13 И вниде Адониа сын Аггифин к Вирсавии матери Соломони, и поклонися ей. Она же рече: мир ли вход твой? И рече: мир.
And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
14 И рече: слово мне к тебе. И рече ему: глаголи.
And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
15 И рече ей: ты веси, яко мне бе царство, и на мя весь Израиль положи лице свое, еже царствовати, и обратися царство, и бысть брату моему, яко от Господа бысть ему:
“You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.
16 и ныне прошения единаго аз прошу от тебе, не отврати лица своего. И рече ему Вирсавиа: глаголи.
Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
17 И рече к ней: рцы к Соломону царю, яко не имать отвратити лица своего от тебе, и дабы ми дал Ависагу Сумантяныню в жену.
And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
18 И рече Вирсавиа: добре, аз имам глаголати о тебе к царю.
And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
19 И вниде Вирсавиа пред царя Соломона глаголати ему о Адонии. И воста царь на сретение ей, и поклонися ей, и седе на престоле своем: и поставиша престол другий матери цареве, и седе одесную его,
Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.
20 и рече ему: прошения мала единаго аз прошу у тебе, не отврати лица моего. И рече к ней царь: проси, мати моя, яко не отвращуся от тебе.
And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
21 И рече: даждь Ависагу Сумантяныню Адонии брату твоему в жену.
And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
22 И отвеща царь Соломон и рече матери своей: вскую ты просиши Ависаги Сумантяныни Адонии? Еще проси ему и царства, яко той брат мой болший мене, и ему Авиафар иерей, и ему Иоав сын Саруин воевода друг.
And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
23 И клятся царь Соломон Господем, глаголя: сия да сотворит мне Бог и сия да приложит, яко на душу свою глагола Адониа слово сие:
And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.
24 и ныне жив Господь, Иже уготова мя, и посади мя на престоле отца моего Давида, и Той сотвори ми дом, якоже глагола Господь, яко днесь умрет Адониа.
And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
25 И посла царь Соломон рукою Ванеа сына Иодаева, и уби его, и умре Адониа в той день.
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
26 И Авиафару иерею рече царь: тецы ты во Анафоф на село твое, яко муж смерти еси ты в днешний день, но не умерщвлю тебе, яко носил еси кивот завета Господня пред отцем моим (Давидом), и яко озлоблен был еси во всех, имиже озлоблен бе отец мой.
Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
27 И изгна Соломон Авиафара, еже не быти ему иереем Господним, якоже сбытися словеси Господню, еже глагола на дом Илиев в Силоме.
Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
28 И слух дойде до Иоава сына Саруина, яко Иоав последова Адонии, и в след Соломонь не уклонися. И бежа Иоав в скинию Господню, и ятся рогов олтаревых.
And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.
29 И возвестиша Соломону, глаголюще: яко бежа Иоав в скинию Господню, и се, держится рогов олтаревых. И посла царь Соломон ко Иоаву, глаголя: что ти бысть, яко убежал еси во олтарь? И рече Иоав: яко убояхся от лица твоего, и бежах ко Господу. И посла Соломон Ванеа сына Иодаева, глаголя: иди, и убий его, и погреби его.
And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
30 И прииде Ванеа сын Иодаев ко Иоаву в скинию Господню, и рече ему: сия глаголет царь: изыди. И рече Иоав: не изыду, но да зде умру. И возвратися Ванеа сын Иодаев и рече царю, глаголя: сия глагола Иоав и сия отвеща мне.
And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
31 И рече ему царь: иди и сотвори ему, якоже рече, и убий его, и погреби его, и отими днесь кровь, юже туне пролия Иоав, от мене и от дому отца моего:
And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
32 и возврати Господь кровь неправды его на главу его, якоже нападе на два мужа праведна и блага паче его, и уби их оружием: и отец мой Давид не разуме крове их, Авенира сына Нирова, воеводу Израилева, и Амессая сына Иеферова, воеводу Иудина:
And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
33 и возвратися кровь их на главу его и на главу семене его во веки: Давиду же и семени его, и дому его, и престолу его мир да будет до века от Господа.
And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
34 И взыде Ванеа сын Иодаев и нападе на него, и уби его, и погребе его в дому его в пустыни.
And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
35 И постави царь Соломон Ванеа сына Иодаева вместо его над воинством: царство же управляшеся во Иерусалиме. И Садока иереа даде Соломон царь во иереа перваго вместо Авиафара.
And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
36 И послав царь Соломон, призва Семеа и рече ему: созижди себе дом во Иерусалиме и седи тамо, и не исходи оттуду никаможе:
Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
37 и будет в день исхода твоего, и прейдеши поток Кедрский, разумея разумей, яко смертию умреши: кровь твоя будет на главе твоей. И заклят его царь в день той.
For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”
38 И рече Семей к царю: благ глагол, егоже глаголал еси, господи мой царю: тако сотворит раб твой. И седе Семей во Иерусалиме три лета.
And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
39 И бысть по триех летех, и бежаста два раба Семеина ко Агхусу сыну Маахаину, царю Гефску. И возвестиша Семею, глаголюще: се, раби твои во Гефе.
But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.
40 И воста Семей, и оседла осля свое, и иде во Геф ко Агхусу взыскати рабы своя: и пойде Семей, и приведе рабы своя от Гефа.
And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
41 И возвестиша Соломону, глаголюще: яко Семей ходи из Иерусалима в Геф и возврати рабы своя.
And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
42 И посла царь и призва Семеа и рече к нему: не заклях ли тя Господем, и засвидетелствовах тебе, глаголя: в оньже аще день изыдеши из Иерусалима и пойдеши на десно или на шуее, разумея разумей, яко смертию умреши? И рекл ми еси: благ глагол, егоже слышах:
And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
43 и что яко не сохранил еси клятвы Господни и заповеди, юже заповедах на тя?
Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
44 И рече царь к Семею: ты веси всю злобу твою, юже весть сердце твое, яже сотворил еси Давиду отцу моему: и возврати Господь злобу твою на главу твою:
And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
45 и царь Соломон благословен, и престол Давидов будет готов пред Господем во веки.
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.
46 И заповеда царь Соломон Ванею сыну Иодаеву: и изыде, и уби его, и умре (Семей).
And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
