< Вторая книга Царств 21 >
1 И бысть глад на земли во дни Давидовы три лета, лето по лету. И вопроси Давид лица Господня и рече Господь: над Саулом и над домом его обида в смерти кровей его, понеже умертви Гаваониты.
And a famine occurred, during the days of David, for three years continuously. And David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: “This is because of Saul, and his house of bloodshed. For he killed the Gibeonites.”
2 И призва царь Давид Гаваониты и рече к ним: и Гаваонитяне не суть сынове Израилевы, но токмо от остатков Аморрейских, и сынове Израилевы кляшася им: Саул же взыска поразити я, внегда поревновати ему по сынех Израилевых и Иудиных.
Therefore, the king, calling for the Gibeonites, spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but were the remnant of the Amorites. And the sons of Israel had sworn an oath to them, but Saul wished to strike them in zeal, as if on behalf of the sons of Israel and Judah.
3 И рече Давид ко Гаваонитяном: что сотворю вам? И чим умолю, да благословите достояние Господне?
Therefore, David said to the Gibeonites: “What shall I do for you? And what shall be your satisfaction, so that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?”
4 И реша ему Гаваонитяне: несть нам сребра или злата со Саулом и с домом его, и несть нам мужа умертвити от всего Израиля. И рече: что вы глаголете, и сотворю вам?
And the Gibeonites said to him: “There is no quarrel for us over silver or gold, but against Saul and against his house. And we do not desire that any man of Israel be put to death.” The king said to them, “Then what do you wish that I should do for you?”
5 И реша ко царю: мужа, иже соверши над нами и погна ны, иже умысли потребити ны, потребим его, да не будет во всех пределех Израилевых:
And they said to the king: “The man who unjustly afflicted and oppressed us, we ought to destroy in such manner that not even one of his stock may be left behind in all the parts of Israel.
6 дадите нам седмь мужей от сынов его, и повесим их на солнце Господеви в Гаваоне Саули избранных Господних. И рече царь: аз дам.
Let seven men from his sons be given to us, so that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gibeon of Saul, formerly the chosen place of the Lord.” And the king said, “I will give them.”
7 И пощаде царь Мемфивосфеа, сына Ионафаня сына Сауля, клятвы ради Господни, яже посреде их и посреде Давида и посреде Ионафана сына Сауля.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord which had been made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.
8 И взя царь два сына Ресфы дщере Аиа, подложницы Саули, ихже роди Саулу, Ермониа и Мемфивосфеа, и пять сынов Мелхолы дщере Саули ихже роди Есдриилу сыну Верзеллиа Моулафиева,
And so the king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal, the daughter of Saul, whom she conceived of Adriel, the son of Barzillai, who was from Meholath,
9 и даде их в руки Гаваонитом. И повесиша я на солнце на горе пред Господем, и падоша тамо сии седмь вкупе: тии же умроша во днех жатвы первых, в начале жатвы ячменя.
and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they crucified them on a hill in the sight of the Lord. And these seven fell together in the first days of the harvest, when the barley is beginning to be reaped.
10 И взя Ресфа дщи Аиина вретище, и потче е себе при камени, в начале жатвы ячменя дондеже снидоша на них воды Божия с небесе, и не даде птицам небесным днем почити на них, ниже зверем земным нощию.
Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, taking a haircloth, spread it under herself on a rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped from heaven upon them. And she did not permit the birds to tear them by day, nor the beasts by night.
11 И поведаша Давиду вся елика сотвори Ресфа дщерь Аиа, подложница Сауля. И истлеша, и взя я Дан сын Иой, иже от исчадий исполиновых.
And it was reported to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 И иде Давид, и взя кости Саули и кости Ионафана сына его от мужей сынов Иависа Галаадскаго, иже украдоша их от стогны Вефсани, зане повесиша их тамо иноплеменницы в день, в оньже поразиша иноплеменницы Саула в Гелвуи.
And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had suspended them after they had slain Saul at Gilboa.
13 И вознесе Давид кости Саули оттуду и кости Ионафана сына его, и собра кости повешеных на солнце:
And he brought the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from there. And they collected the bones of those who had been crucified.
14 и погребоша кости Саули и кости Ионафана сына его, и кости повешеных на солнце, в земли Вениаминове, при Краи во гробе Киса отца его, и сотвориша вся елика заповеда царь. И послуша Бог земли по сих.
And they buried them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan, in the land of Benjamin, to the side of the sepulcher of his father Kish. And they did all that the king had instructed. And after these things, God showed favor again to the land.
15 И бысть паки брань иноплеменником со Израилтяны. И сниде Давид и отроцы его с ним, и бишася со иноплеменники: и утрудися Давид.
Then the Philistines again undertook a battle against Israel. And David descended, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines. But when David grew faint,
16 И Иесвий, иже бе от внук Рафаних, (у негоже) бе вес копия его триста сикль веса медяна, и той бе препоясан оружием, и хотяше поразити Давида.
Ishbibenob, who was of the ancestry of Arapha, the iron of whose spear weighed three hundred ounces, who had been girded with a new sword, strove to strike down David.
17 И поможе ему Авесса сын Саруин, и избави Давида Авесса, и порази иноплеменника, и умертви его. Тогда кляшася мужие Давидовы, глаголюще: не изыдеши ктому с нами на брань, да не угасиши светилника Израилева.
And Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, defended him, and striking the Philistine, he killed him. Then David’s men swore an oath to him, saying, “You shall no longer go out to war with us, lest you extinguish the lamp of Israel.”
18 И бысть по сих еще брань в Гефе со иноплеменники: тогда порази Совохей иже от Асофы собранныя внуки Гигантовы.
Also, a second war occurred in Gob against the Philistines. Then Sibbecai from Hushah struck down Saph, from the stock of Arapha, of the ancestry of the giants.
19 И бысть паки брань в Роме со иноплеменники: и порази Елеанан сын Ариоргима Вифлеемлянин Голиафа иже от Геффеа, и древо копия его бысть аки навой ткущих.
Then there was a third war in Gob against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a weaver from Bethlehem, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like the beam used by a cloth maker.
20 И бысть паки брань в Гефе: и бе муж от мадона, и персты рук его и персты ног его по шести, числом двадесять четыри: и той родися от Рафы,
A fourth battle was in Gath. In that place, there was a lofty man, who had six digits on each hand and each foot, that is, twenty-four in all, and he was from the origins of Arapha.
21 и уничижи Израиля: и уби его Ионафан сын Сафая брата Давидова.
And he blasphemed Israel. So Jonathan, the son of Shimei, the brother of David, struck him down.
22 Четыри сии родишася внуцы Гигантовы рафе в Гефе, и падоша от руку Давидову и от руку рабов его.
These four men were born of Arapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and his servants.
