Вторая книга Царств 12
1 И посла Господь Нафана пророка к Давиду. И вниде к нему (и рече ему: отвещай ми, царю, ныне суд сей: ) и рече ему: два мужа беста во единем граде, един богат, а другий убог:
Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
2 и у богатаго стада бяху и буйволи мнози зело,
The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
3 у убогаго же ничтоже бе, но токмо агница едина мала, юже стяжа и снабде, и вскорми ю, и возрасте с ним и с сынами его вкупе: от хлеба его ядяше и от чаши его пияше, и на лоне его почиваше, и бе ему яко дщерь:
But the poor man had only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb was like a daughter to him.
4 и прииде некто с пути к мужу богатому, и не восхоте взяти от стад своих и от буйволиц своих на сотворение обеда путнику пришедшу к нему: но взя агницу убогаго, и уготова ю на обед мужу пришедшу к нему.
[One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
5 И разгневася гневом зело Давид на мужа (того), и рече Давид к Нафану: жив Господь, яко сын смерти есть муж сотворивый сие:
[When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
6 и агницу возвратит седмерицею за сие, яко сотворил глагол сей, и за сие, яко не пощаде.
But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
7 И рече Нафан к Давиду: ты еси муж сотворивый сие: сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: Аз есмь помазавый тя в царя над Израилем, и Аз есмь избавивый тя от руки Сауловы:
Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from Saul.
8 и дах ти дом господина твоего и жены господина твоего на лоно твое, и дах ти дом Израилев и Иудин: и аще мало ти есть, приложу тебе к сим:
I gave you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
9 и что яко презрел еси слово Господне, еже сотворити лукавое пред очима Его? Урию Хеттеанина убил еси мечем, и жену его поял еси себе в жену, и того убил еси мечем сынов Аммоних:
So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
10 и ныне не отступит мечь от дому твоего до века: зане уничижил Мя еси и поял еси жену Урии Хеттеанина в жену себе:
You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
11 сия глаголет Господь: се, Аз воздвигну на тя злая от дому твоего, и возму жены твоя пред очима твоима и дам ближнему твоему, и будет спати со женами твоими пред солнцем сим:
I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
12 яко ты сотворил еси втайне, Аз же сотворю глаголгол сей пред всем Израилем и пред солнцем сим.
What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
13 И рече Давид к Нафану: согреших ко Господу. И рече Нафан к Давиду: и Господь отя согрешение твое, не умреши:
David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
14 обаче яко поощряя изострил еси врагов Господних глаголом сим, и сын твой родивыйся тебе смертию умрет.
But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
15 И отиде Нафан в дом свой. И сокруши Господь детище, еже роди жена Уриина Давиду, и разболеся.
Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
16 И взыска Давид Бога о детищи, и постися Давид постом, и вниде и водворися, и лежаше на земли:
So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
17 и внидоша к нему старейшины дому его воздвигнути его от земли, и не восхоте, и не яде с ними хлеба.
[The next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food with them.
18 И бысть в день седмый, и умре отроча. И убояшася раби Давидовы поведати ему, яко умре отроча, реша бо: се, егда отроча еще живо бяше, глаголахом к нему, и не послуша гласа нашего: и како речем к нему, яко умре отроча, и сотворит злая?
One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to harm himself!”
19 И разуме Давид, яко отроцы его шепчут, и позна Давид, яко умре отроча. И рече Давид отроком своим: умре ли отроча? И реша: умре.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, he is dead.”
20 И воста Давид от земли, и умыся и помазася, и измени ризы своя, и вниде в дом Божий, и поклонися ему, и вниде в дом свой, и проси ясти хлеба, и предложиша ему хлеб, и яде.
Then David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
21 И реша отроцы его к нему: что глагол сей, егоже сотворил еси отрочате ради, яко еще сущу отрочати живу, постился еси и плакал и бдел еси: егда же умре отроча, востал, и ял еси хлеб, и пил еси?
Then his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
22 И рече Давид: егда бе отроча еще живо, постихся и плаках, яко рех: кто весть, помилует ли мя Господь и живо будет отроча?
David replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
23 Ныне же умре, почто мне поститися? Еда возмогу возвратити е ктому? Аз имам ити к нему, тое же не возвратится ко мне.
But now the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, but he will not return to me.”
24 И утеши Давид Вирсавию жену свою, и вниде к ней и спа с нею, и зача и роди сына, и нарече имя ему Соломон: и Господь возлюби его.
Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
25 И посла рукою Нафана пророка, и нарече имя ему Иеддеди словом Господним.
He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
26 Иоав же воева в Раввафе сынов Аммоних и взя град царства.
(Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s fortress.
27 И посла Иоав вестники к Давиду и рече: воевах на Равваф и взях град вод:
Then Joab sent messengers to David, to tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
28 и ныне собери останок людий и ополчися на град, и приими его, да не аз возму град, и наречется имя мое на нем.
Now gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
29 И собра Давид вся люди, и пойде в Равваф, и ополчися нань, и взя его:
So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured it.
30 и взя венец Молхома царя их с главы его, талант злата вес его, и от камения драга, и бе на главе Давидове, и корысть изнесе из града многу зело:
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things from the city.
31 и люди сущыя в нем изведе, и положи на пилы и на трезубы железны и секиры железны, и превождаше их сквозе пещь плинфяну. И тако сотвори всем градом сынов Аммоних. И возвратися Давид и весь Израиль во Иерусалим.
Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
