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:
After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful 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.
Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to 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.
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to 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.
Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from 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 faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from 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 your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
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. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked 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.
She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out 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,
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
11 и представи ему да яст. И ят ю, и рече ей: гряди, лязи со мною, сестро моя.
When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to 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:
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly!
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.
As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”
14 И не восхоте Амнон послушати гласа ея, и преодоле ей, и смири ю, и преспа с нею.
However, he would not listen to 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 exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to 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.
She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to 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 who ministered to him, and said, “Now put 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.
She had a garment of various colors on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then 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.
Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors 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.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take 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 angry.
22 И не глагола Авессалом со Амноном ни о добре, ни о зле, понеже возненавиде Авессалом Амнона того ради, понеже Фамару сестру его обругал.
Absalom spoke to 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.
After two full years, 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.
Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your 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.
The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however 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 Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
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.
Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t 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.
The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on 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.
While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has 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 tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
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:
Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let 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 has 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 don’t let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for only Amnon 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. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
35 И рече Ионадав ко царю: се, сынове царевы приходят: по словеси раба твоего, тако бысть.
Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
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.
As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
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 Ammihur, king of Geshur. 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.
King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
