Вторая книга Царств 4
1 И слыша Иевосфей сын Сауль, яко умре Авенир сын Ниров в Хевроне, и ослабеша руце его, и вси мужие Израилевы изнемогоша.
When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 И два мужа старейшины полков Иевосфеа сына Сауля: имя единому Ваана и имя другому Рихав, сынове Реммона Вирофейскаго от сынов Вениаминих: яко Вироф вменяшеся в сынех Вениаминих.
Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
3 И отбегоша Вирофее в Гефем, и беша тамо живуще до днешняго дне.
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
4 И Ионафану сыну Саулю сын бе хром ногама, сын пяти лет: и той, егда прииде возвещение о Сауле и Ионафане сыне его от Иезраеля, и взят его пестунница его, и бежа: и бысть тщащейся ей на отшествие, и паде, и охроме, имя же ему Мемфивосфей.
Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
5 И поидоста сынове Реммона Вирофейскаго, Рихав и Ваана, и внидоста во время зноя дневнаго в дом Иевосфеов, и той почиваше на одре в полудне:
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
6 и се, вратник дому очищаше пшеницу и воздрема и спаше, Рихав же и Ваана братия утаившася внидоста в дом:
They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
7 Иевосфей же почиваше на одре своем в ложнице своей: и биста его, и умертвиста его, и отяста главу его, и взяста главу его, и отидоста путем иже на запад всю нощь:
Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
8 и принесоста главу Иевосфеову к Давиду в Хеврон и реста к царю: се, глава Иевосфеа сына Саулова врага твоего, иже искаше души твоея, и даде Господь господину нашему царю отмщение врагов его, якоже день сей, от Саула врага твоего и от семене его.
They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
9 И отвеща Давид Рихаву и Ваане брату его, сыном Реммона Вирофейскаго, и рече има: жив Господь, иже избави душу мою от всякия скорби:
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 ибо возвестивый мне, яко умре Саул и Ионафан, и той бяше аки благовествуяй предо мною, и ях его и убих его в Секелазе, емуже должен бех дати дар:
when someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
11 и ныне мужие лукавии убиша мужа праведна в дому его на одре его, и ныне взыщу крове его от руки вашея и искореню вас от земли.
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
12 И заповеда Давид отроком своим, и убиша их, и отсекоша руце их и нозе их, и повесиша их над источником в Хевроне, и главу Иевосфеову погребоша во гробе Авенира сына Нирова (в Хевроне).
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
