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, stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not become warm.

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.

Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let them seek out for my lord the king a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and let her be an attendant on him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may become warm.

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

So they sought for a fair maiden throughout all the territory of Israel; and they found Abishag the 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 maiden was exceedingly fair; and she became an attendant on 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.

And Adoniyah the son of Chaggith exalted himself, saying, I shall be king: and he procured himself a chariot and horsemen, and fifty men who ran 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 never grieved him in all his life by saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was of a very goodly form; and his mother had born him after Abshalom.

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

And he had conferences with Joab the son of Zeruyah, and with Ebyathar the priest: and they, following Adoniyah, 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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and Nathan the prophet, and Shim'i, and Re'i, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adoniyah.

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 Adoniyah slaughtered sheep and oxen and fatted cattle by the stone Zocheleth, which is by 'En-rogel; and he invited 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 Benayahu, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he invited 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:

And Nathan spoke unto Bath-sheba' the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adoniyah the son of Chaggith is become king, and [that] David our lord knoweth it not?

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

And now come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thy own life, and the life of thy 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 thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy hand-maid, saying, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne? why then is Adoniyah become king?

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

And, lo, while thou shalt be yet speaking there with the king, I myself will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

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

And Bath-sheba' went in unto the king into the chamber, and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king.

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

And Bath-sheba' bowed, and prostrated herself unto the king: and the king said, What wouldst thou?

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 unto him, My lord, thou thyself didst swear by the Lord thy God unto thy hand-maid, Assuredly, Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon my throne.

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

And now, behold, Adoniyah is become king; and now, my lord, O king, thou knowest 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 hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the sons of the king, and Ebyathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army; but Solomon thy servant hath he not invited.

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

And as for thee, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, to 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 would come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon may be counted offenders.

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

And, lo, while she was yet speaking 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, here is Nathan the prophet: and when he was come in before the king, he prostrated 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, hast thou then said, Adoniyah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon 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 hath slaughtered oxen and fatted cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Ebyathar the priest: and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they say, Long live king Adoniyah.

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

But as for me, me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and thy servant Solomon, hath he not invited.

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

Can it be that this hath been done by order of my lord the king, and thou hast not informed thy 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 answered king David, and said, Call me Bath-sheba'; 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 liveth, that hath 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 have sworn unto thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and only he shall sit upon 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 did Bath-sheba' bow herself with her face to the earth, and prostrate herself unto the king; and she said, May my lord, the 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 unto me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada'. 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,

And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and conduct him down to Gichon:

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 with Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel; and blow ye with the cornet, and say, Long live 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 shall ye go up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; and he shall be king in my stead: and him have I ordained 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 Benayahu the son of Yehoyada' answered the king, and said, Amen: May thus say the Eternal the God of my lord the king.

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 Eternal hath been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and may he make his throne greater than the throne of my lord the 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:

Thereupon Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and conducted him to Gichon.

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 the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew with the cornet; and all the people said, Long live 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 went up after him, and the people blew on flutes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth was rent at their noise.

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 Adoniyah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had just finished eating: and when Joab heard the sound of the cornet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city 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 was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Ebyathar the priest came in: and Adoniyah said [unto him], Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and must bring good tidings.

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

And Jonathan answered and said to Adoniyah, Alas, no; our lord king David hath 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 hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and the Kerethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon 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 as king on the Gichon; and they are come up from there rejoicing, and the city hath been set in commotion. This is the noise that ye have heard.

46 и седе Соломон на престоле царстем:

And Solomon hath also sat on the kingly throne.

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 also the king's servants are come to bless our lord king David, saying, May God make the name of Solomon more famous than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king hath bowed himself upon 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 hath the king said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given [me] this day one who sitteth on my throne, while my eyes see it.

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

And all the guests that were with Adoniyah were terrified, and rose up, and went, every man, on his own way.

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

And Adoniyah was afraid because of Solomon; and he 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 unto Solomon, saying, Behold, Adoniyah feareth king Solomon; and, behold, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto 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 become a worthy man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the earth; but if any wrong shall be found on him, then shall he 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 unto him, Go to thy house.
