2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
И рече Ахитофел ко Авессалому: изберу ныне себе дванадесять тысящ мужей и востану, и пожену вслед Давида нощию,
2 I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him will flee. I will strike the king only,
и найду на него, и той утружден и ослаблен руками, и устрашу его, и побежат вси людие иже с ним, и убию царя единаго:
3 and I will bring back all the people to you. The man whom you seek is as if all returned. All the people shall be in peace.”
и возвращу вся люди к тебе, имже образом обращается невеста к мужеви своему: ты бо токмо души единаго мужа ищеши, всем же людем будет мир.
4 The saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
И угодно слово бысть пред очима Авессаломлима и пред очима всех старейшин Израилевых.
5 Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let’s hear likewise what he says.”
И рече Авессалом: призовите же и Хусиа Арахиина, и услышим что из уст его.
6 When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, “Ahithophel has spoken like this. Shall we do what he says? If not, speak up.”
И вниде Хусий ко Авессалому, и рече Авессалом к нему, глаголя: по глаголу сему глагола Ахитофел: сотворим ли по словеси его? Аще же ни, ты глаголи.
7 Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.”
И рече Хусий ко Авессалому: не благ совет сей, егоже совеща Ахитофел единою сие.
8 Hushai said moreover, “You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are fierce in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
И рече Хусий: ты веси отца твоего и мужей его, яко сильни суть зело, и гневливи душами своими, яко медведица чад лишеная на селе, и аки вепрь свирепый на поли: и отец твой муж борец, и не даст почити людем:
9 Behold, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. It will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom!’
се бо, той ныне скрыся на некоторем холме или на некоторем месте: и будет внегда напасти на них в начале, и услышит слушаяй, и речет: бысть сокрушение в людех иже за Авессаломом:
10 Even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.
и той сын силы, емуже сердце якоже сердце льву таящо истает: понеже весть весь Израиль, яко силен отец твой, и сынове силы вси иже с ним:
11 But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you go to battle in your own person.
тако советуя аз усоветовах, и собираяся соберется к тебе весь Израиль от Дана и до Вирсавии, аки песок иже при мори во множестве, и лице твое идущее посреде их:
12 So we will come on him in some place where he will be found, and we will light on him as the dew falls on the ground, then we will not leave so much as one of him and of all the men who are with him.
и приидем к нему на едино место, идеже обрящем его тамо, и ополчимся на него, якоже спадает роса на землю, и не оставим в нем и в мужех его иже с ним ни единаго:
13 Moreover, if he has gone into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there isn’t one small stone found there.”
и аще во град соберутся, и возмет весь Израиль ко граду тому ужы, и совлечем его в поток, дондеже не останется тамо ниже камень.
14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil on Absalom.
И рече Авессалом и вси мужие Израилтестии: благ совет Хусиа Арахиина паче совета Ахитофелева. И Господь заповеда разорити совет Ахитофелев благий, яко да наведет Господь на Авессалома злая вся.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counseled this way.
И рече Хусий арахиин ко Садоку и Авиафару иереем: тако и тако советова Ахитофел Авессалому и старейшинам Израилевым: и аз тако и тако советовах:
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, ‘Don’t lodge tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.’”
и ныне послите скоро и возвестите Давиду, глаголюще: не пребуди нощь сию во Аравофе пустыни, но пойти потщися, да не како пожерт будет царь и вси людие иже с ним.
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En Rogel; and a female servant used to go and report to them, and they went and told King David; for they couldn’t risk being seen coming into the city.
И Ионафан и Ахимаас стояста на студенце Рогили, и иде рабыня и поведа има: и тии идоста и возвестиста Давиду царю, яко не могоста явитися еже внити во град.
18 But a boy saw them, and told Absalom. Then they both went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
И виде их отрочищь и поведа Авессалому. И идоста оба скоро и приидоста в дом мужа в Ваурим: и тому ров на дворе, и снидоста тамо.
19 The woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and spread out crushed grain on it; and nothing was known.
И взя жена, и положи покров на устии рова, и суши на нем арафоф, и не познася глагол.
20 Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook of water.” When they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
И приидоша отроцы Авессаломли к жене в дом и реша: где Ахимаас и Ионафан? И рече им жена: преидоста вмале воду. И искаша, и не обретоша, и возвратишася во Иерусалим.
21 After they had departed, they came up out of the well and went and told King David; and they said to David, “Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.”
Бысть же по отшествии их, и излезоста из рова, и идоста, и возвестиста Давиду царю и глаголаста ему: востаните, и прейдите скоро воду, яко сице совеща на вы Ахитофел.
22 Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan. By the morning light there lacked not one of them who had not gone over the Jordan.
И воста Давид и вси людие иже с ним и преидоша Иордан до света заутра, и ни един не оста, иже бы не прешел Иордана.
23 When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, arose, and went home to his city, set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.
И Ахитофел виде, яко не сбыстся совет его, и оседла осля свое, и воста, и отиде в дом свой, во град свой: и заповеда дому своему, и удавися, и умре, и погребен бысть во гробе отца своего.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
И Давид прейде в Манаим, Авессалом же прейде Иордан сам и вси мужие Израилтестии с ним.
25 Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.
И Амессая постави Авессалом вместо Иоава над силою: Амессай же сын мужа, емуже имя Иефер Иезраилитин, сей вниде ко Авигеи дщери Иессеине, сестре Саруии матере Иоавли.
26 Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
И ополчися Авессалом и весь Израиль в земли Галаадстей.
27 When David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
И бысть егда вниде Давид в Манаим, и Уесвий сын Наасов от Раввафа сынов Аммоних, и Махир сын Амииль иже из Лодавара, и Верзеллий Галаадитин из Рогеллима,
28 brought beds, basins, earthen vessels, wheat, barley, meal, parched grain, beans, lentils, roasted grain,
принесоша десять постель устроеных и конобов десять и сосуды скуделны и пшеницу и ячмень и муку и пшено и боб и сочевицу
29 honey, butter, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him to eat; for they said, “The people are hungry, weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.”
и мед и масло и овцы и сыры кравия, и принесоша Давиду и людем иже с ним ясти: быша бо людие гладни и утруждени и жаждни в пустыни.
