Вторая книга Царств 16
1 И Давид прейде мало что от роса, и се, Сива отрок Мемфивосфеов в сретение ему: и супруг ослят оседланых, и на них двести хлебов, и сто гроздий, и сто фиников, и мех вина.
When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
2 И рече царь к Сиве: что сия тебе? И рече Сива: ослята на яждение дому цареву, а хлебы и финики на снедение отроком, и вино пити ослабевшым в пустыни.
The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
3 И рече царь: и где сын господина твоего? И рече Сива ко царю: се, седит во Иерусалиме, яко рече: днесь возвратят ми весь дом Израилев царство отца моего.
The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
4 И рече царь к Сиве: се, тебе вся елика суть Мемфивосфеова. И рече Сива поклонився: да обрящу благодать пред очима твоима, господи мой царю.
The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
5 И прииде Давид царь до Вафирима, и се, оттуду муж исхождаше от рода дому Сауля, имя же ему Семей сын Гирань: изыде же исходя и проклиная
When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
6 и камением метая на Давида и на вся отроки царя Давида: и вси людие и вси сильнии одесную и ошуюю царя бяху.
Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
7 И тако рече Семей проклиная его: изыди, изыди, мужу кровей и мужу беззаконный:
Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
8 возврати на тя Господь вся крови дому Сауля, понеже воцарился еси вместо его: и даде Господь царство в руце Авессалома сына твоего: и се, ты в злобе твоей, яко муж кровей ты.
Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
9 И рече Авесса сын Саруин ко царю: почто проклинает пес умерший сей господина моего царя? Ныне пойду, и отиму главу его.
Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
10 И рече царь ко Авессе: что мне и вам, сынове Саруины? Оставите его, и тако да проклинает, яко Господь рече ему проклинати Давида: и кто речет: почто сотворил еси тако?
But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
11 И рече Давид ко Авессе и ко всем отроком своим: се, сын мой изшедый из чрева моего ищет души моея, а кольми паче сын Иеминиев: оставите его проклинати мя, яко рече ему Господь:
Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
12 негли призрит Господь на смирение мое, и возвратит ми благая вместо клятвы Его во днешний день.
Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
13 И идяше Давид и вси мужие его путем: а Семей идяше со страны горы близ его идый и проклиная, и камением меща со страны его, и перстию сыпая.
Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
14 И прииде царь и вси людие иже с ним утруждени, и препочиша ту.
When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
15 Авессалом же и вси мужие Израилевы внидоша во Иерусалим, и Ахитофел с ним.
While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
16 И бысть егда прииде Хусий первый друг Давидов ко Авессалому: и рече Хусий ко Авессалому: да живет царь.
When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
17 И рече Авессалом к Хусию: сия ли милость твоя со другом твоим? Почто не отшел еси со другом твоим?
Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
18 И рече Хусий ко Авессалому: ни, но вслед (иду), егоже избра Господь и людие сии и вси мужие Израилевы, того есмь, и с тем буду:
Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
19 и второе, кому аз поработаю? Не пред сыном ли его? Якоже работах пред отцем твоим, тако буду и пред тобою.
You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
20 И рече Авессалом ко Ахитофелу: дадите себе совет, что сотворим?
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
21 И рече Ахитофел ко Авессалому: вниди к подложницам отца твоего, яже остави стрещи дом свой, и услышат вси Израилтяне, яко посрамил еси отца твоего, и возмогут руки всех сущих с тобою.
Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
22 И поставиша Авессалому шатер на палате, и вниде Авессалом к подложницам отца своего пред очима всех Израилтян.
So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
23 И совет Ахитофелев, егоже совещаваше во дни первыя, имже образом вопросил бы кто Бога о словеси, тако всяк совет Ахитофелев, и иже Давиду, и иже Авессалому.
In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
