Вторая книга Царств 13

1 И бысть по сих, и у Авессалома сына Давидова бе сестра добра взором зело, имя же ей Фамарь, и возлюби ю Амнон сын Давидов:

And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2 и скорбяше Амнон, яко и разболетися (ему) сестры своея ради Фамары, зане дева бяше сия, и не удобно бе пред очима Амнонима что сотворити ей.

And Amnon was so distressed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do any thing unto her.

3 И бе Амнону друг, имя же ему Ионадав, сын Самаа брата Давидова, и Ионадав муж мудр зело.

But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.

4 И рече ему (Ионадав): что ти, яко ты тако болиши, сыне царев, утро утро? И не возвещаеши ми? И рече ему Амнон: Фамару сестру Авессалома брата моего аз люблю.

And he said unto him: 'Why, O son of the king, art thou thus becoming leaner from day to day? wilt thou not tell me?' And Amnon said unto him: 'I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.'

5 И рече ему Ионадав: лязи на постели твоей и разболися, и внидет отец твой видети тя, и речеши к нему: да приидет ныне Фамарь сестра моя, и да ми даст ясти, и да сотворит пред очима моима снедь, да увижду и вкушу от рук ея.

And Jonadab said unto him: 'Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him: Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.'

6 И ляже Амнон и разболеся: и вниде царь видети его. И рече Амнон к царю: да приидет ныне Фамарь сестра моя ко мне и да испечет два пряжма пред очима моима, и имам ясти от руку ея.

So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick; and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king: 'Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.'

7 И посла Давид к Фамаре в дом, глаголя: иди ныне в дом Амнона брата твоего и сотвори ему снедь.

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying: 'Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.'

8 И иде Фамарь в дом Амнона брата своего, и той лежаше. И взя тесто, и смеси, и устрои пред очима его, и испече пряжма:

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9 и взя сковраду и изложи пред него, и не восхоте ясти. И рече Амнон: изжените вся мужы от мене. И изгнаша вся мужы от него.

And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said: 'Have out all men from me.' And they went out every man from him.

10 И рече Амнон к Фамаре: внеси ми снедь во внутреннюю храмину, и ям от руку твоею. И взя Фамарь пряжма, яже испече, и внесе Амнону брату своему во внутреннюю храмину,

And Amnon said unto Tamar: 'Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand.' And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 и представи ему да яст. И ят ю, и рече ей: гряди, лязи со мною, сестро моя.

And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her: 'Come lie with me, my sister.'

12 И рече ему: ни, брате мой, не обругай мене, понеже не сотворится тако во Израили, не сотвори безумия сего:

And she answered him: 'Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel; do not thou this wanton deed.

13 и аз камо скрыю безчестие мое? И ты будеши яко един от безумных во Израили: и ныне глаголи к царю, да не отлучит мене от тебе.

And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the base men in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.'

14 И не восхоте Амнон послушати гласа ея, и преодоле ей, и смири ю, и преспа с нею.

Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.

15 И возненавиде ю Амнон ненавистию великою зело, яко велиим ненавидением возненавиде ю паче любве, еюже любляше ю, и рече ей Амнон: востани и отиди.

Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her: 'Arise, be gone.'

16 И рече ему Фамарь: (ни, брате, ) яко злоба болши есть последняя паче первыя, юже сотворил еси со мною, еже отслати мене. И не восхоте Амнон слышати гласа ея.

And she said unto him: 'Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou didst unto me.' But he would not hearken unto her.

17 И призва отрока своего, приставника дому своего, и рече ему: отсли ныне сию от мене вон, и заключи двери вслед ея.

Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said: 'Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.' —

18 И бе риза на ней испещрена, понеже тако облачахуся дщери царевы, сущыя девицы, во одежды своя. И изведе ю вон слуга его и затвори двери вслед ея.

Now she had a garment of many colours upon her; for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. — And his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

19 И взя Фамарь пепел, и насыпа на главу свою, и одежду испещренную растерза на себе, и возложи руце свои на главу свою, и идущи идяше и вопияше.

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of many colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.

20 И рече к ней Авессалом брат ея: еда Амнон брат твой бысть с тобою? И ныне, сестро моя, умолчи, яко брат твой есть: не полагай на сердцы твоем еже глаголати слово сие. И седе Фамарь вдовствующи в дому Авессалома брата своего.

And Absalom her brother said unto her: 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart.' So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

21 И слыша царь Давид вся словеса сия, и разгневася зело, и не опечали духа Амнона сына своего, понеже любляше его, яко первенец бе ему.

But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

22 И не глагола Авессалом со Амноном ни о добре, ни о зле, понеже возненавиде Авессалом Амнона того ради, понеже Фамару сестру его обругал.

And Absalom spoke unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23 И бысть по двух летех дний, и беша стригуще (овцы) Авессаломовы (раби) в Веласоре близ Ефрема: и призва Авессалом вся сыны царевы.

And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

24 И прииде Авессалом ко царю и рече: се, ныне стригут рабу твоему, да идет убо царь и отроцы его с рабом твоим.

And Absalom came to the king, and said: 'Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.'

25 И рече царь ко Авессалому: ни, сыне мой, да не пойдем вси мы, и да не отяготим тя. И нуждаше его: и не восхоте (царь) ити, и благослови его.

And the king said to Absalom: 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee.' And he pressed him; howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.

26 И рече Авессалом к нему: аще же ни, поне да идет с нами Амнон брат мой. И рече ему царь: почто идет с тобою Амнон?

Then said Absalom: 'If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us.' And the king said unto him: 'Why should he go with thee?'

27 И принуди его Авессалом, и отпусти с ним Амнона и вся сыны царевы. И сотвори Авессалом пир, якоже творит пир царь.

But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

28 И заповеда Авессалом отроком своим, глаголя: видите егда возблажает сердце Амноне от вина, и реку вам: поразите Амнона, и умертвите его: не убойтеся, яко не аз ли есмь повелеваяй вам? Мужайтеся и будите в сыны силы.

And Absalom commanded his servants, saying: 'Mark ye now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine; and when I say unto you: Smite Amnon, then kill him, fear not; have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.'

29 И сотвориша отроцы Авессаломли Амнону, якоже заповеда им Авессалом. И восташа вси сынове царевы, и вседе кийждо на мска своего, и бежаша.

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got him up upon his mule, and fled.

30 И бысть, сущым им на пути, и слух дойде до Давида, глаголя: изби Авессалом вся сыны царевы, и не избысть от них ни един.

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings came to David, saying: 'Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.'

31 И воста царь, и растерза ризы своя, и ляже на земли, и вси отроцы его предстоящии ему растерзаша ризы своя.

Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

32 И рече Ионадав, сын Самаа брата Давидова, и рече: да не речет господин мой царь, яко вся отроки сыны царевы уби, но Амнон есть един убиен, яко той из уст Авессалому не исхождаше, отнележе обруга сестру его Фамару:

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said: 'Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

33 и ныне да не полагает господин мой царь словесе на сердцы своем, глаголя: вси сынове царевы умроша: яко Амнон един умре.

Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.'

34 И побеже Авессалом. И воздвиже отрок страж очеса своя и виде: и се, людие мнози идуще путем вслед его со страны гор в низхождение. И прииде страж и возвести царю и рече: мужы видех от пути Оронска со страны горы.

But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people in a roundabout way by the hill-side.

35 И рече Ионадав ко царю: се, сынове царевы приходят: по словеси раба твоего, тако бысть.

And Jonadab said unto the king: 'Behold, the king's sons are come; as thy servant said, so it is.'

36 И бысть егда сконча глаголя, и се, сынове царевы приидоша и воздвигоша глас свой и плакаша: и сам царь и вси отроцы его плакаша плачем великим зело.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.

37 И Авессалом убеже, и прииде ко Фолму сыну Емиуда, царю Гедсурску, в землю Хамаахадску. И плакаше Давид царь о сыне своем вся дни.

But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

38 И Авессалом убеже, и иде в Гедсур, и бе тамо три лета.

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

39 И остави царь Давид изыти вслед Авессалома, яко утешися о Амноне, яко умре.

And the soul of king David failed with longing for Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
