Третья книга Царств 1
1 И царь Давид бысть стар прешед дни, и одеваху его ризами (многими), и не согревашеся.
Now king David had become elderly, and he had many days in his lifetime. And though he was covered with clothes, he was not warmed.
2 И реша отроцы его ему: да поищут господину нашему царю девицы юныя, и предстоит цареви, и будет греющи его, и да лежит с ним, и согреется господин наш царь.
Therefore, his servants said to him: “Let us seek, for our lord the king, a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and warm him, and sleep in his bosom, and provide warmth for our lord the king.”
3 И искаша отроковицы добрыя от всего предела Израилева, и обретоша Ависагу Сумантяныню, и приведоша ю ко царю.
And so they sought a beautiful young woman in all the parts of Israel. And they found Abishag, a Shunammite, and they led her to the king.
4 И бе отроковица добра видением зело: и бысть греющи царя и служаше ему: царь же не позна ея.
Now the girl was exceedingly beautiful. And she slept with the king, and she ministered to him. Yet truly, the king did not know her.
5 И Адониа сын Аггифин вознесеся, глаголя: аз имам царствовати. И сотвори себе колесницы и конники, и пятьдесят мужей еже ходити пред ним.
Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying, “I shall reign!” And he appointed for himself chariots and horsemen, with fifty men who would run before him.
6 И не возбрани ему отец его никогда, глаголя: почто сие ты сотворил еси? И бе той красен зраком зело, и того роди по Авессаломе.
Neither did his father chastise him at any time, saying, “Why have you done this?” Now he, too, was very beautiful, the second in birth, after Absalom.
7 И беша совети его со Иоавом сыном Саруиным и со Авиафаром иереом, и помогаху вслед Адонии.
And he conferred with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar, the priest, who gave assistance to the side of Adonijah.
8 Садок же иерей и Ванеа сын Иодаев, и Нафан пророк и Семей, и Рисий и сынове сильнии Давидовы не быша по Адонии.
Yet truly, Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan, the prophet, and Shimei and Rei, and the mature men of the army of David were not with Adonijah.
9 И пожре Адониа овцы и телцы и агнцы при камени Зоелефе, иже бе близ источника Рогиля: и призва всю братию свою, сыны царевы, и вся мужы Иудовы, отроки царевы:
Then Adonijah, having immolated rams and calves and every kind of fat cattle beside the Stone of the Serpent, which was in the vicinity of the fountain Rogel, summoned all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king.
10 Нафана же пророка и Ванеа и сильных и Соломона брата своего не зва.
But he did not summon Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, and all the mature men, and Solomon, his brother.
11 И рече Нафан ко Вирсавии матери Соломони, глаголя: не слышала ли еси, яко воцарися Адониа сын Аггифин, господин же наш Давид не весть:
And so Nathan said to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon: “Have you not heard that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has begun to reign, and that our lord David is ignorant of this?
12 ныне убо совещаю ти совет, и избавиши душу свою и душу сына твоего Соломона:
Now then, come, accept my counsel, and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
13 гряди, вниди к царю Давиду и речеши к нему, глаголющи: не ты ли, господи мой царю, клялся еси рабе твоей, глаголя: яко Соломон сын твой имать царствовати по мне, и той сядет на престоле моем? И что яко воцарися Адониа?
Go and enter to king David, and say to him: ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to me, your handmaid, saying: “Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit on my throne?” Then why does Adonijah reign?’
14 И се, еще глаголющей тебе тамо со царем, и аз вниду вслед тебе и дополню словеса твоя.
And while you are still speaking with the king there, I will enter after you, and I will complete your words.”
15 И вниде Вирсавиа ко царю в ложницу. И царь стар зело, и Ависаг Сумантяныня бяше служащи царю.
And so Bathsheba entered to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag, the Shunammite, was ministering to him.
16 И приклонися Вирсавиа и поклонися цареви. И рече царь: что ти есть?
Bathsheba bowed herself, and she reverenced the king. And the king said to her, “What do you wish?”
17 Она же рече: господи мой царю, ты клялся еси пред Господем Богом твоим рабе твоей, глаголя: яко сын твой Соломон имать царствовати по мне, и той сядет на престоле моем:
And responding, she said: “My lord, you swore to your handmaid, by the Lord your God: ‘your son Solomon will reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne.’
18 и се, ныне Адониа царствует, ты же, господи мой царю, не веси:
And now behold, Adonijah reigns, while you, my lord the king, are ignorant of it.
19 и пожре телцы и агнцы и овцы во множестве, и созва вся сыны царевы, и Авиафара жерца и Иоава князя силы, Соломона же раба твоего не призва:
He has slain oxen, and every kind of fattened cattle, and many rams. And he has summoned all the sons of the king, as well as Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the leader of the military. But Solomon, your servant, he did not summon.
20 ты же, господи мой царю, очи всего Израиля к тебе: да возвестиши им, кто сядет на престоле господина моего царя по нем:
Truly now, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel look with favor upon you, that you may indicate to them who ought to sit upon your throne, my lord the king, after you.
21 и будет егда уснет господин мой царь со отцы своими, и буду аз и сын мой Соломон грешни.
Otherwise, this will be: when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be as sinners.”
22 И се, еще ей глаголющей с царем, и Нафан пророк прииде.
And while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan, the prophet, arrived.
23 И возвестиша царю, глаголюще се, Нафан пророк. И вниде пред лице царево, и поклонися царю пред лицем его до земли,
And they announced to the king, saying, “Nathan, the prophet, is here.” And when he had entered in the sight of the king, and he had reverenced prone on the ground,
24 и рече Нафан: господи мой царю, ты ли рекл еси: Адониа да царствует по мне, и той да сядет на престоле моем?
Nathan said: “My lord the king, did you say, ‘Let Adonijah reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?’
25 Яко сниде днесь и закла телцы и агнцы и овцы во множестве, и созва вся сыны царевы и князи сильных, и Авиафара иереа: и се, суть ядуще и пиюще пред ним, и реша: да живет царь Адониа:
For today, he descended, and he immolated oxen, and fattened cattle, and many rams. And he summoned all the sons of the king, and the leaders of the army, along with Abiathar, the priest. And they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, ‘As king Adonijah lives.’
26 и мене самаго раба твоего, и Садока иереа, и Ванеа сына Иодаева, и Соломона раба твоего не зва:
But he did not summon me, your servant, and Zadok, the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon, your lowly servant.
27 от господина ли царя моего бысть глагол сей? И не сказал еси рабу твоему, кто сядет на престоле господина моего царя по нем?
Could this word have gone out from my lord the king, and could you not have revealed it to me, your servant, as to who would be seated upon the throne of my lord the king after him?”
28 И отвеща царь Давид и рече: призовите ми Вирсавию. И вниде (Вирсавиа) пред царя и ста пред лицем его.
And king David responded, saying, “Summon to me Bathsheba.” And when she had entered before the king, and she had stood before him,
29 И клятся царь и рече: жив Господь, иже избави душу мою от всея печали:
the king swore and said: “As the Lord lives, who has rescued my soul from all distress,
30 якоже бо кляхтися пред Господем Богом Израилевым, глаголя: яко Соломон сын твой воцарится по мне, и той сядет на престоле моем вместо мене, яко тако сотворю ему в днешний день.
just as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying: ‘Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he himself shall sit upon my throne in my place,’ so shall I do this day.”
31 И преклонися Вирсавиа лицем на землю, и поклонися царю и рече: да живет господин мой царь Давид во веки.
And Bathsheba, having lowered her face to the ground, reverenced the king, saying, “May my lord David live forever.”
32 И рече царь Давид: призовите мне Садока жерца и Нафана пророка, и Ванеа сына Иодаева. И внидоша пред царя.
And king David said, “Summon to me Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada.” And when they had entered before the king,
33 И рече им царь: поимите с собою рабы господина вашего, и всадите сына моего Соломона на мска моего, и ведите его к Гиону,
he said to them: “Take with you the servants of your lord, and place my son Solomon upon my mule. And lead him to Gihon.
34 и да помажет его тамо Садок иерей и Нафан пророк в царя над Израилем, и вострубите трубою рожаною и речете: да живет царь Соломон:
And let Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, anoint him in that place as the king over Israel. And you shall sound the trumpet, and you shall say, ‘As king Solomon lives.’
35 и изыдите вслед его, и внидет, и сядет на престоле моем, и той воцарится вместо мене: и аз заповедах, да будет властелин над Израилем и Иудою.
And you shall ascend after him, and he shall arrive and shall sit upon my throne. And he himself shall reign in my place. And I will command that he be the ruler over Israel and over Judah.”
36 И отвеща Ванеа сын Иодаев царю и рече: буди тако: да утвердит Господь Бог глагол сей господина моего царя:
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, responded to the king, saying: “Amen. So says the Lord, the God of my lord the king.
37 якоже бе Господь со господином моим царем, тако да будет и с Соломоном, и да возвеличит престол его паче престола господина моего царя Давида.
In the same way that the Lord has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon. And may he make his throne more sublime than the throne of my lord, king David.”
38 И сниде Садок иерей и Нафан пророк, и Ванеа сын Иодаев, и Хереффи и Фелеффи, и всадиша Соломона на мска царя Давида, и возведоша его к Гиону:
Then Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, descended, with Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they placed Solomon on the mule of king David, and they led him to Gihon.
39 и взя Садок иерей рог с елеем от скинии, и помаза Соломона, и воструби трубою рожаною, и реша вси людие: да живет царь Соломон.
And Zadok, the priest, took the horn of oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they sounded the trumpet. And all the people said, “As king Solomon lives.”
40 И взыдоша вси людие вслед его и ликоваша в лицех, и веселяхуся веселием великим, и разседеся земля от гласа их.
And the entire multitude ascended after him. And the people were playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth resounded before the noise of them.
41 И слыша Адониа и вси званнии его, и тии скончаша уже ядуще. И слыша Иоав глас трубы рожаны и рече: кий глас есть града шумяща?
Then Adonijah, and all who had been summoned by him, heard it. And now the feast had ended. Then, too, Joab, hearing the voice of the trumpet, said, “What is the meaning of this clamor from the tumultuous city?”
42 И еще Ему глаголющу, и се, Ионафан сын Авиафара иереа прииде. И рече Адониа: вниди, яко муж силы ты еси, и благая возвести.
While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. And Adonijah said to him, “Enter, for you are a valiant man, and you report good news.”
43 И отвеща Ионафан и рече: известно, господин наш царь Давид постави Соломона царем:
And Jonathan answered Adonijah: “By no means. For our lord king David has appointed Solomon as king.
44 и посла с ним царь Садока иереа и Нафана пророка, и Ванеа сына Иодаева, и Хереффи и Фелеффи, и всадиша его на мска царева:
And he has sent with him Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites. And they have placed him on the mule of the king.
45 и помазаша его Садок иерей и Нафан пророк на царство в Гионе, и взыдоша оттуду веселящеся, и возшуме град: сей глас, егоже слышасте:
And Zadok, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, at Gihon. And they are ascending from there, rejoicing, and so the city resounds. This is the noise that you have heard.
46 и седе Соломон на престоле царстем:
But also, Solomon sits upon the throne of the kingdom.
47 и внидоша раби царевы благословити господина нашего царя Давида, глаголюще: да ублажит Бог имя Соломона сына твоего паче имене твоего, и да возвеличит престол его паче престола твоего: и поклонися царь на одре своем,
And the servants of the king, entering, have blessed our lord king David, saying: ‘May God amplify the name of Solomon above your name, and may he magnify his throne above your throne.’ And the king reverenced from his bed.
48 и сице рече царь: благословен Господь Бог Израилев, Иже даде днесь от семене моего седяща на престоле моем, и очи мои видят.
And he said: ‘Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has bestowed someone to sit upon my throne, while my eyes may see it.’”
49 И ужасошася ужасом, и восташа вси званнии Адониевы, и отиде кийждо путем своим.
Therefore, all those who had been summoned by Adonijah were terrified. And they all rose up, and each one went his own way.
50 И Адониа убояся от лица Соломоня, и воста и отиде, и ятся за рог олтаря.
Then Adonijah, fearing Solomon, rose up and went away. And he took hold of the horn of the altar.
51 И возвестиша Соломону, глаголюще: се, Адониа убояся царя Соломона, и держится за рог олтаря, глаголя: да кленетмися днесь царь Соломон, яко не убиет раба своего оружием.
And they reported to Solomon, saying: “Behold, Adonijah, fearing king Solomon, has taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: ‘May king Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
52 И рече Соломон: аще будет сын силы, ни влас главы его упадет на землю: аще же злоба обрящется в нем, умрет.
And Solomon said: “If he is a good man, not so much as one hair of his head shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die.”
53 И посла царь Соломон, и сведоша его со олтаря. И вниде, и поклонися царю Соломону. И рече ему Соломон: иди в дом свой.
Therefore, king Solomon sent and brought him from the altar. And entering, he reverenced king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your own house.”
