Вторая книга Царств 10
1 И бысть по сих, и умре царь сынов Аммоних, и царствова сын его Аннон вместо его.
And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in his stead.
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 show mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David 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?
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honor your father before you that David has sent comforters to you? Has not David rather sent his servants to you that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it?
4 И взя Аннон отроки Давидовы, и остриже половину брад их, и обреза одеяния их половину даже до чресл их, и отпусти их.
And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, and 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.
And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonored: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] you shall return.
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 the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men.
7 И слыша Давид, и посла Иоава и всю силу сильных.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty 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 went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being 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,
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.
10 останок же людий даде в руце брату своему Авессе и устрои я противу сынов Аммоних,
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon.
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 Syria be too strong for me, then shall you help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then will we be ready to help you.
12 мужаимся и укрепимся о людех наших и о градех Бога нашего, и Господь сотворит благое пред очима Своима.
Be you courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
13 И прииде Иоав и людие его с ним на брань на Сирию, и побегоша от лица его.
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from 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 the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 И видеша Сириане, яко падоша пред Израилем, и собрашася вкупе.
And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered 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 Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] 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 it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with 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 Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he struck Sobac the captain of his host, and he died 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 all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
