Вторая книга Царств 10
1 И бысть по сих, и умре царь сынов Аммоних, и царствова сын его Аннон вместо его.
Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.
2 И рече Давид: сотворю милость со Анноном сыном Наасовым, имже образом сотвори отец его милость со мною. И посла Давид утешити его рукою рабов своих о отце его. И приидоша отроцы Давидовы в землю сынов Аммоних.
And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 И реша старейшины сынов Аммоних ко Аннону господину своему: еда прославления ради отца твоего пред тобою посла к тебе Давид утешители? Не да испытают ли град, и соглядают его, еже разрушити его, посла Давид рабы своя к тебе?
But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?
4 И взя Аннон отроки Давидовы, и остриже половину брад их, и обреза одеяния их половину даже до чресл их, и отпусти их.
So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.
5 И возвестиша Давиду о мужех, и посла в сретение им, яко беша мужие тии обезчещени зело. И рече царь: седите во Иерихоне, дондеже возрастут брады вашя, и возвратитеся.
When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.
6 И видеша сынове Аммони, яко посрамлени быша людие Давидовы: и послаша сынове Аммони, и наяша Сирию Вефраамлю, и Сирию Сувску и Роовлю двадесять тысящ пешцев, и царя Амалика Мааха тысящу мужей, и Истова дванадесять тысящ мужей.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thousand.
7 И слыша Давид, и посла Иоава и всю силу сильных.
And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.
8 И изыдоша сынове Аммони, и устроиша брань пред враты града: Сириа же Сувска и Роов, и Истов и Амалик, едини (сташа) на селе.
And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 И виде Иоав, яко бысть на него противное лице брани сопреди и созади, и избра от всех юнош Израилевых, и устрои их противу Сириан,
Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;
10 останок же людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе и устрои я противу сынов Аммоних,
And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
11 и рече (Иоав ко Авессе): аще укрепится Сириа паче мене, и будете мне на спасение: аще же укрепятся сынове Аммони паче тебе, и будем спасати тя:
And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then you are to come to my help; but if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.
12 мужаимся и укрепимся о людех наших и о градех Бога нашего, и Господь сотворит благое пред очима Своима.
Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.
13 И прииде Иоав и людие его с ним на брань на Сирию, и побегоша от лица его.
Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.
14 И видеша сынове Аммони, яко бежаша Сириане, и бежаша от лица Авессы и внидоша во град. И возвратися Иоав от сынов Аммоних, и прииде во Иерусалим.
And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
15 И видеша Сириане, яко падоша пред Израилем, и собрашася вкупе.
And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.
16 И посла Адраазар, и собра Сирианы, иже об он пол реки Халамака, и приидоша во Елам: и Совак старейшина силы Адраазаровы пред ними.
And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
17 И возвестиша Давиду, и собра всего Израиля, и прейде Иордан, и прииде во Елам. И устроишася Сириане на Давида, и брашася с ним,
And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.
18 и бежаша Сириане от лица Израилтян. И отя Давид от Сирии седмь сот колесниц и четыредесять тысящ конник, и Совака старейшину силы его уби, и умре тамо.
And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven hundred Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and Shobach, the captain of the army, was wounded, and came to his death there.
19 И видеша вси царие раби Адраазаровы, яко падоша пред Израилем, и пребегоша ко Израилю и работаша им: и убояшася Сириане спасати ктому сынов Аммоних.
And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.
