Третья книга Царств 1
1 И царь Давид бысть стар прешед дни, и одеваху его ризами (многими), и не согревашеся.
When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
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.
So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
3 И искаша отроковицы добрыя от всего предела Израилева, и обретоша Ависагу Сумантяныню, и приведоша ю ко царю.
[The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
4 И бе отроковица добра видением зело: и бысть греющи царя и служаше ему: царь же не позна ея.
She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
5 И Адониа сын Аггифин вознесеся, глаголя: аз имам царствовати. И сотвори себе колесницы и конники, и пятьдесят мужей еже ходити пред ним.
[After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
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.
7 И беша совети его со Иоавом сыном Саруиным и со Авиафаром иереом, и помогаху вслед Адонии.
One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
8 Садок же иерей и Ванеа сын Иодаев, и Нафан пророк и Семей, и Рисий и сынове сильнии Давидовы не быша по Адонии.
But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support 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:
One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
10 Нафана же пророка и Ванеа и сильных и Соломона брата своего не зва.
But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
11 И рече Нафан ко Вирсавии матери Соломони, глаголя: не слышала ли еси, яко воцарися Адониа сын Аггифин, господин же наш Давид не весть:
Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
12 ныне убо совещаю ти совет, и избавиши душу свою и душу сына твоего Соломона:
So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
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 immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
14 И се, еще глаголющей тебе тамо со царем, и аз вниду вслед тебе и дополню словеса твоя.
Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
15 И вниде Вирсавиа ко царю в ложницу. И царь стар зело, и Ависаг Сумантяныня бяше служащи царю.
So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
16 И приклонися Вирсавиа и поклонися цареви. И рече царь: что ти есть?
Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
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:
She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
18 и се, ныне Адониа царствует, ты же, господи мой царю, не веси:
But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about 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 sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
20 ты же, господи мой царю, очи всего Израиля к тебе: да возвестиши им, кто сядет на престоле господина моего царя по нем:
Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
21 и будет егда уснет господин мой царь со отцы своими, и буду аз и сын мой Соломон грешни.
If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
22 И се, еще ей глаголющей с царем, и Нафан пророк прииде.
While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
23 И возвестиша царю, глаголюще се, Нафан пророк. И вниде пред лице царево, и поклонися царю пред лицем его до земли,
The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face 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?
Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
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:
[I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
26 и мене самаго раба твоего, и Садока иереа, и Ванеа сына Иодаева, и Соломона раба твоего не зва:
But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
27 от господина ли царя моего бысть глагол сей? И не сказал еси рабу твоему, кто сядет на престоле господина моего царя по нем?
Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
28 И отвеща царь Давид и рече: призовите ми Вирсавию. И вниде (Вирсавиа) пред царя и ста пред лицем его.
Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
29 И клятся царь и рече: жив Господь, иже избави душу мою от всея печали:
Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
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.
31 И преклонися Вирсавиа лицем на землю, и поклонися царю и рече: да живет господин мой царь Давид во веки.
Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
32 И рече царь Давид: призовите мне Садока жерца и Нафана пророка, и Ванеа сына Иодаева. И внидоша пред царя.
Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
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, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
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:
There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
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.
Then follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
36 И отвеща Ванеа сын Иодаев царю и рече: буди тако: да утвердит Господь Бог глагол сей господина моего царя:
Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
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.
King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
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:
So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
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.
There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
40 И взыдоша вси людие вслед его и ликоваша в лицех, и веселяхуся веселием великим, и разседеся земля от гласа их.
Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
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?
When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the 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. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
43 И отвеща Ионафан и рече: известно, господин наш царь Давид постави Соломона царем:
Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the 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:
He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
45 и помазаша его Садок иерей и Нафан пророк на царство в Гионе, и взыдоша оттуду веселящеся, и возшуме град: сей глас, егоже слышасте:
They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
46 и седе Соломон на престоле царстем:
So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
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,
Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
48 и сице рече царь: благословен Господь Бог Израилев, Иже даде днесь от семене моего седяща на престоле моем, и очи мои видят.
Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
49 И ужасошася ужасом, и восташа вси званнии Адониевы, и отиде кийждо путем своим.
Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
50 И Адониа убояся от лица Соломоня, и воста и отиде, и ятся за рог олтаря.
Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
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.
But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
52 И рече Соломон: аще будет сын силы, ни влас главы его упадет на землю: аще же злоба обрящется в нем, умрет.
Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
53 И посла царь Соломон, и сведоша его со олтаря. И вниде, и поклонися царю Соломону. И рече ему Соломон: иди в дом свой.
So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
