Вторая книга Царств 23
1 И сия словеса Давидова последняя. Верен Давид сын Иессеов, и верен муж, егоже возстави Господь в христа Бога Иаковля, и благолепны псалмы Израилевы.
David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
2 И Дух Господень глагола во мне, и слово Его на языце моем.
“The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
3 Глаголет Бог Израилев: мне глагола хранитель Израилев притчу: рех в человецех: како удержите страх Божий?
God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
4 И во свете Божии утреннем, и возсия солнце заутра, не прейде от сияния, и яко от дождя злачна от земли.
They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
5 Не тако бо дом мой с Крепким: завет бо вечен положи ми, готов во всяком времени сохранен: яко все спасение мое и все хотение во Господе, яко не имать прозябнути беззаконный.
And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
6 Якоже терние извержено вси сии, яко не возмутся рукою,
But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
7 и муж не потрудится в них: и множество железа, и древо копийное, и огнем сожжет, и попалятся в срамоту свою.
Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
8 Сия имена сильных Давидовых: Иевосфей Хананеанин князь третияго есть: адинон асоней, сей обнажи мечь свой на осмь сот воинов (и победи) единою.
These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
9 И по нем Елеазар, сын отца брата его, в триех сильных братиях, сей бе со Давидом (во сирране) внегда поносити ему во иноплеменницех: и иноплеменницы собрашася тамо на брань,
The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
10 и изыдоша мужие Израилевы противу лица их, и той воста и убиваше иноплеменники, дондеже утрудися рука его и прильпе рука его к мечу: и сотвори Господь спасение велико в той день: и людие обратишася вслед его токмо совлачати.
but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
11 И по нем Самаиа сын Асы, Арухейский: и собрашася иноплеменницы во Фирию: и бе тамо часть села исполнь лящи: и людие бежаша от лица иноплеменнича:
The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
12 и ста аки столп посреде части, и исхити ю, и порази иноплеменники: и сотвори Господь спасение велико.
but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
13 И снидоша три князи от тридесятих, и приидоша в касон к Давиду в вертеп Одоллам: и чинове иноплеменник ополчишася во юдоли Рафаинстей.
Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
14 И Давид тогда бе во обдержании, и стан иноплеменническ бе тогда в Вифлееме.
David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
15 И возжада Давид и рече: кто напоит мя водою из рова, иже в Вифлееме при вратех? Стан же бе тогда иноплеменничь в Вифлееме.
[One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
16 И расторгоша трие сильнии ополчение иноплеменничо, и почерпоша воды из рова Вифлеемскаго, иже при вратех: и взяша, и приидоша ко Давиду, и не восхоте пити ея: и возлия ю Господу
So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
17 и рече: милостив мне, Господи, еже сотворити сие, кровь ли мужей пошедших в душах своих пити имам? И не восхоте пити ея. Сия сотвориша трие сильнии.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
18 И Авесса брат Иоавль сын Саруин, сей бе князь в триех, и сей воздвиже копие свое на триста язвеных, и тому имя есть в триех.
Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
19 От триех оных славный, и бысть им князь, и даже до триех не прииде.
He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
20 И Ванеа сын Иодаев, муж сей премног в делех, от Кавасаила, и сей уби два сына Ариила Моавскаго: и той сниде, и уби льва посреде рова в день снежен:
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
21 и той порази мужа Египтянина, мужа красна, в руце же Египтянина копие яко древо лествицы корабленыя: и сниде к нему со палицею, и исторже копие из руку Египтянина, и уби его копием его:
He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
22 сия сотвори Ванеа сын Иодаев, и тому имя в триех сильных,
Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
23 от триех славный, и ко трием не прииде: и постави его Давид над таинники своими.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
