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:
Then Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him and said, “There were once two men in a city. One man was rich and the other poor.
2 и у богатаго стада бяху и буйволи мнози зело,
The rich man had huge numbers of flocks and herds,
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 nothing except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and fed and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. The lamb even ate with him and drank from his own cup, and it slept in his arms and 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 the rich man, but the rich man was unwilling to take an animal from his own flocks and herds to provide food for him. Instead he took the poor man's ewe lamb and cooked it 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:
David was hot with anger against the rich man, and he raged to Nathan, “As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this deserves to be put to death.
6 и агницу возвратит седмерицею за сие, яко сотворил глагол сей, и за сие, яко не пощаде.
He must pay back the lamb four times over because he did such a thing, and because he had no 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:
Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you out of the hand of 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 your master's house, and your master's wives into your arms. I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah. But if that had been too little, I would have given you many other things in addition.
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 the commands of Yahweh, so as to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your own wife. You killed him with the sword of the army of Ammon.
10 и ныне не отступит мечь от дому твоего до века: зане уничижил Мя еси и поял еси жену Урии Хеттеанина в жену себе:
So now the sword will never leave your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your wife.'
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:
Yahweh says, 'Look, I will raise up disaster against you out of your own house. Before your own eyes, I will take your wives and give them to your neighbor, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight.
12 яко ты сотворил еси втайне, Аз же сотворю глаголгол сей пред всем Израилем и пред солнцем сим.
For you committed your sin secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, in the sunlight.'”
13 И рече Давид к Нафану: согреших ко Господу. И рече Нафан к Давиду: и Господь отя согрешение твое, не умреши:
Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan replied to David, “Yahweh also has passed over your sin. You will not be killed.
14 обаче яко поощряя изострил еси врагов Господних глаголом сим, и сын твой родивыйся тебе смертию умрет.
However, because by this act you have despised Yahweh, the child who is born to you will surely die.”
15 И отиде Нафан в дом свой. И сокруши Господь детище, еже роди жена Уриина Давиду, и разболеся.
Then Nathan left and went home. Yahweh attacked the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
16 И взыска Давид Бога о детищи, и постися Давид постом, и вниде и водворися, и лежаше на земли:
David then implored God for the boy. David fasted and went inside 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 elders of his house arose and stood beside him, to raise him up from the floor, but he would not get up, and he would not eat 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?
It came about on the seventh day that the child died. David's servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was still alive we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. What might he do to himself if we tell him that the boy is dead?!”
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 together, David perceived that the child was dead. He said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They answered, “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 arose from the floor and washed himself, anointed himself, and changed his clothes. He went to the tabernacle of Yahweh and worshiped there, and then he came back to his own palace. When he asked for it, they set food before him, and he ate.
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, “Why have you done this? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you got up and ate.”
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 answered, “While the child was still alive I fasted and wept. I said, 'Who knows whether or not Yahweh will be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
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 he is dead, so why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, 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.
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and slept with her. Later she gave birth to a son, and the child was named Solomon. Yahweh loved him
25 И посла рукою Нафана пророка, и нарече имя ему Иеддеди словом Господним.
and he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because Yahweh loved him.
26 Иоав же воева в Раввафе сынов Аммоних и взя град царства.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and he captured the royal city.
27 И посла Иоав вестники к Давиду и рече: воевах на Равваф и взях град вод:
So Joab sent messengers to David and said, “I have fought against Rabbah, and I have taken 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 therefore gather the rest of the army together and camp against the city and take it, because if I take the city, it will be named after me.”
29 И собра Давид вся люди, и пойде в Равваф, и ополчися нань, и взя его:
So David gathered all the army together and went to Rabbah; he fought against the city 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:
David took the crown from their king's head—it weighed a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it. The crown was placed on David's own head. Then he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities.
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.
He brought out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes; he also made them work at brick kilns. David required all the cities of the people of Ammon to do this labor. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
