2 Samuel 16
1 And when David had passed a little beyond the top of the mountain, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, appeared to meet him, with two donkeys, which were burdened with two hundred loaves, and one hundred bunches of dried grapes, and one hundred masses of dried figs, and a skin of wine.
И Давид прейде мало что от роса, и се, Сива отрок Мемфивосфеов в сретение ему: и супруг ослят оседланых, и на них двести хлебов, и сто гроздий, и сто фиников, и мех вина.
2 And the king said to Ziba, “What do you intend to do with these things?” And Ziba responded: “The donkeys are for the household of the king, so that they may sit. And the loaves and dried figs are for your servants to eat. But the wine is for anyone to drink who may be faint in the desert.”
И рече царь к Сиве: что сия тебе? И рече Сива: ослята на яждение дому цареву, а хлебы и финики на снедение отроком, и вино пити ослабевшым в пустыни.
3 And the king said, “Where is the son of your lord?” And Ziba answered the king: “He remained in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’”
И рече царь: и где сын господина твоего? И рече Сива ко царю: се, седит во Иерусалиме, яко рече: днесь возвратят ми весь дом Израилев царство отца моего.
4 And the king said to Ziba, “All the things which were for Mephibosheth are now yours.” And Ziba said, “I beg you that I may find grace before you, my lord the king.”
И рече царь к Сиве: се, тебе вся елика суть Мемфивосфеова. И рече Сива поклонився: да обрящу благодать пред очима твоима, господи мой царю.
5 Then king David went as far as Bahurim. And behold, a man from the kindred of the house of Saul, named Shimei, the son of Gera, went out from there. And going out, he continued on, and he was cursing,
И прииде Давид царь до Вафирима, и се, оттуду муж исхождаше от рода дому Сауля, имя же ему Семей сын Гирань: изыде же исходя и проклиная
6 and throwing stones against David and against all the servants of king David. And all the people and all the warriors were traveling to the right and to the left sides of the king.
и камением метая на Давида и на вся отроки царя Давида: и вси людие и вси сильнии одесную и ошуюю царя бяху.
7 And so, as he was cursing the king, Shimei said: “Go away, go away, you man of blood, and you man of Belial!
И тако рече Семей проклиная его: изыди, изыди, мужу кровей и мужу беззаконный:
8 The Lord has repaid you for all the blood of the house of Saul. For you have usurped the kingdom in place of him. And so, the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom, your son. And behold, your evils press close upon you, because you are a man of blood.”
возврати на тя Господь вся крови дому Сауля, понеже воцарился еси вместо его: и даде Господь царство в руце Авессалома сына твоего: и се, ты в злобе твоей, яко муж кровей ты.
9 Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king: “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go and cut off his head.”
И рече Авесса сын Саруин ко царю: почто проклинает пес умерший сей господина моего царя? Ныне пойду, и отиму главу его.
10 And the king said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Permit him, so that he may curse. For the Lord has commanded him to curse David. And who is the one who would dare to say, ‘Why has he done so?’”
И рече царь ко Авессе: что мне и вам, сынове Саруины? Оставите его, и тако да проклинает, яко Господь рече ему проклинати Давида: и кто речет: почто сотворил еси тако?
11 And the king said to Abishai and to all his servants: “Behold, my son, who went forth from my loins, is seeking my life. How much more does a son of Benjamin do so now? Permit him, so that he may curse, in accord with the command of the Lord.
И рече Давид ко Авессе и ко всем отроком своим: се, сын мой изшедый из чрева моего ищет души моея, а кольми паче сын Иеминиев: оставите его проклинати мя, яко рече ему Господь:
12 Perhaps the Lord may look with favor upon my affliction, and the Lord may repay me good, in place of the cursing of this day.”
негли призрит Господь на смирение мое, и возвратит ми благая вместо клятвы Его во днешний день.
13 And so, David continued walking along the way, and his associates with him. But Shimei was advancing along the ridge of the mountain on the side opposite him, cursing and throwing stones at him, and scattering dirt.
И идяше Давид и вси мужие его путем: а Семей идяше со страны горы близ его идый и проклиная, и камением меща со страны его, и перстию сыпая.
14 And the king and the entire people with him, being weary, went and refreshed themselves there.
И прииде царь и вси людие иже с ним утруждени, и препочиша ту.
15 But Absalom and all his people entered into Jerusalem. Moreover, Ahithophel was with him.
Авессалом же и вси мужие Израилевы внидоша во Иерусалим, и Ахитофел с ним.
16 And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had gone to Absalom, he said to him: “May you be well, O king! May you be well, O king!”
И бысть егда прииде Хусий первый друг Давидов ко Авессалому: и рече Хусий ко Авессалому: да живет царь.
17 And Absalom said to him: “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
И рече Авессалом к Хусию: сия ли милость твоя со другом твоим? Почто не отшел еси со другом твоим?
18 And Hushai responded to Absalom: “By no means! For I will be his, whom the Lord has chosen. And I, and all this people, and all of Israel, will remain with him.
И рече Хусий ко Авессалому: ни, но вслед (иду), егоже избра Господь и людие сии и вси мужие Израилевы, того есмь, и с тем буду:
19 But then too, I declare this: whom should I serve? Is it not the son of the king? Just as I have been subject to your father, so will I be subject to you also.”
и второе, кому аз поработаю? Не пред сыном ли его? Якоже работах пред отцем твоим, тако буду и пред тобою.
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Present a counsel as to what we ought to do.”
И рече Авессалом ко Ахитофелу: дадите себе совет, что сотворим?
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom: “Enter to the concubines of your father, whom he left behind in order to care for the house. Thus, when all of Israel will hear that you disgraced your father, their hands may be strengthened with you.”
И рече Ахитофел ко Авессалому: вниди к подложницам отца твоего, яже остави стрещи дом свой, и услышат вси Израилтяне, яко посрамил еси отца твоего, и возмогут руки всех сущих с тобою.
22 Therefore, they spread a tent for Absalom on the rooftop. And he entered to the concubines of his father in the sight of all Israel.
И поставиша Авессалому шатер на палате, и вниде Авессалом к подложницам отца своего пред очима всех Израилтян.
23 Now the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was treated as if one were consulting God. So was every counsel of Ahithophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.
И совет Ахитофелев, егоже совещаваше во дни первыя, имже образом вопросил бы кто Бога о словеси, тако всяк совет Ахитофелев, и иже Давиду, и иже Авессалому.
