2-я Царств 16
New Russian Translation
Обман Цивы
16 Когда Давид немного спустился с вершины горы, ему неожиданно встретился Цива, слуга Мефи-Бошета[a]. У него была пара оседланных ослов, навьюченных двумястами хлебами, сотней связок изюма, сотней связок инжира и бурдюком вина.
2 Царь спросил Циву:
– Для чего это у тебя?
Цива ответил:
– Ослы для того, чтобы на них ездил дом царя, хлеб и плоды – в пищу юношам, а вино – чтобы подкрепить тех, кто ослабеет в пустыне.
3 Тогда царь спросил:
– А где же внук твоего господина?
Цива ответил ему:
– Он сейчас в Иерусалиме, потому что думает: «Сегодня дом Израиля вернет мне царство моего деда».
4 Тогда царь сказал Циве:
– Все, что ранее принадлежало Мефи-Бошету, теперь твое.
– Низко кланяюсь тебе, господин мой царь, – сказал Цива. – Да найду я расположение в твоих глазах.
Шимей проклинает Давида
5 Когда Давид приблизился к Бахуриму, оттуда вышел человек, который был из того же клана, что и семья Саула. Его звали Шимей, сын Геры; он шел и проклинал. 6 Он бросал в Давида и его приближенных камнями, несмотря на то что и справа, и слева от Давида были его воины и стража. 7 Проклиная, Шимей говорил:
– Вон! Вон! Убийца! Негодяй! 8 Господь воздал тебе за всю кровь, пролитую тобой в доме Саула, вместо которого ты воцарился. Господь отдал царство твоему сыну Авессалому. А ты попал в беду, потому что ты – убийца!
9 Авишай, сын Саруи, сказал царю:
– Почему этот мертвый пес проклинает моего господина, царя? Позволь мне пойти и снести ему голову.
10 Но царь сказал:
– Что у вас со мной общего, сыновья Саруи? Если он проклинает, потому что Господь сказал ему: «Прокляни Давида», то кто может сказать: «Зачем ты это делаешь?»
11 Давид сказал Авишаю и всем своим приближенным:
– Мой сын, который рожден от моей плоти, пытается отнять у меня жизнь. Что же тогда говорить об этом вениамитянине! Оставьте его; пусть проклинает, потому что так сказал ему Господь. 12 Может быть, Господь увидит мое горе[b] и воздаст мне добром за проклятия, которые я слышу сегодня.
13 И Давид со своими людьми снова тронулся в путь, а Шимей шел по склону горы напротив него, проклиная на ходу и бросая в него камни и пыль. 14 Царь и все люди, которые были с ним, добрались[c] до Иордана утомленными и остановились там на отдых.
Авессалом в Иерусалиме
15 А тем временем Авессалом и все израильтяне вошли в Иерусалим, и Ахитофел был с ними. 16 И когда аркитянин Хусий, друг Давида, пришел к Авессалому, он сказал ему:
– Да здравствует царь! Да здравствует царь!
17 Авессалом спросил Хусия:
– Такова-то твоя верность своему другу? Почему ты не пошел с ним?
18 Хусий сказал Авессалому:
– Нет, я на стороне того, кого избрал Господь, этот народ и все израильтяне, и с ним останусь. 19 Да и кому я буду служить? Разве не его сыну? Точно так же, как я служил твоему отцу, я буду служить тебе.
20 Авессалом сказал Ахитофелу:
– Дай[d] нам совет. Что нам делать?
21 Ахитофел ответил:
– Спи с наложницами своего отца, которых он оставил присматривать за дворцом. Тогда весь Израиль услышит, что ты сделался ненавистным отцу, и руки всех, кто на твоей стороне, укрепятся.
22 Авессалому разбили шатер на крыше дворца, и он спал с наложницами своего отца на глазах у всего Израиля.
23 В те дни совет, данный Ахитофелом, считался, как если бы кто вопрошал Божье слово. Таков был всякий совет Ахитофела и для Давида, и для Авессалома.
2 Samuel 16
King James Version
16 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
8 The Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the Lord hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath bidden him.
12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction, and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day.
13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
19 And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
2 Samuel 16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 16
David and Ziba. 1 David went a little beyond the top and Ziba, the servant of Meribbaal, was there to meet him with saddled donkeys laden with two hundred loaves of bread, an ephah of cakes of pressed raisins, an ephah of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.(A) 2 The king said to Ziba, “What are you doing with all this?” Ziba replied: “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on. The bread and summer fruits are for your servants to eat, and the wine to drink when they grow weary in the wilderness.” 3 Then the king said, “And where is your lord’s son?” Ziba answered the king, “He is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore to me my father’s kingdom.’”(B) 4 The king therefore said to Ziba, “So! Everything Meribbaal had is yours.” Then Ziba said: “I pay you homage, my lord the king. May I find favor with you!”(C)
David and Shimei. 5 As King David was approaching Bahurim, there was a man coming out; he was of the same clan as the house of Saul, and his name was Shimei, son of Gera. He kept cursing as he came out,(D) 6 and throwing stones at David and at all King David’s officers, even though all the soldiers, including the royal guard, were on David’s right and on his left. 7 Shimei was saying as he cursed: “Get out! Get out! You man of blood, you scoundrel! 8 The Lord has paid you back for all the blood shed from the family of Saul,[a] whom you replaced as king, and the Lord has handed over the kingdom to your son Absalom. And now look at you: you suffer ruin because you are a man of blood.” 9 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said to the king: “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head.”(E) 10 But the king replied: “What business is it of mine or of yours, sons of Zeruiah, that he curses? Suppose the Lord has told him to curse David; who then will dare to say, ‘Why are you doing this?’”(F) 11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants: “If my own son, who came forth from my loins, is seeking my life, how much more might this Benjaminite do so! Let him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.(G) 12 Perhaps the Lord will look upon my affliction and repay me with good for the curses he is uttering this day.” 13 David and his men continued on the road, while Shimei kept up with them on the hillside, all the while cursing and throwing stones and dirt as he went.(H) 14 The king and all the soldiers with him arrived at the Jordan tired out, and stopped there to rest.
Absalom’s Counselors. 15 In the meantime Absalom, with all the Israelites, entered Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him. 16 When David’s friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, he said to him: “Long live the king! Long live the king!”(I) 17 But Absalom asked Hushai: “Is this your devotion to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?” 18 Hushai replied to Absalom: “On the contrary, I am his whom the Lord and all this people and all Israel have chosen, and with him I will stay. 19 Furthermore, as I was in attendance upon your father, so will I be before you. Whom should I serve, if not his son?”(J)
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Offer your counsel on what we should do.” 21 Ahithophel replied to Absalom: “Go to your father’s concubines, whom he left behind to take care of the palace. When all Israel hears how odious you have made yourself to your father, all those on your side will take courage.”(K) 22 So a tent was pitched on the roof for Absalom, and Absalom went to his father’s concubines in view of all Israel.(L)
Counsel of Ahithophel. 23 Now the counsel given by Ahithophel at that time was as though one sought the word of God. Such was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.(M)
