Slavonic Church Slavonic Bible (Elizabeth Bible) WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon) 1 И҆ бы́сть по си́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆ а҆вессалѡ́ма сы́на даві́дова бѣ̀ сестра̀ добра̀ взо́ромъ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆́мѧ же є҆́й ѳама́рь, и҆ возлюбѝ ю҆̀ а҆мнѡ́нъ сы́нъ даві́довъ: 1 After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 и҆ скорбѧ́ше а҆мнѡ́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ разболѣ́тисѧ (є҆мꙋ̀) сестры̀ своеѧ̀ ра́ди ѳама́ры, занѐ дѣ́ва бѧ́ше сїѧ̀, и҆ не ᲂу҆до́бно бѣ̀ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма а҆мнѡ́нима что̀ сотвори́ти є҆́й. 2 Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
3 И҆ бѣ̀ а҆мнѡ́нꙋ дрꙋ́гъ, и҆́мѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡнада́въ, сы́нъ самаа̀ бра́та даві́дова, и҆ і҆ѡнада́въ мꙋ́жъ мꙋ́дръ ѕѣлѡ̀. 3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
4 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ (і҆ѡнада́въ): что́ ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ та́кѡ боли́ши, сы́не царе́въ, ᲂу҆́трѡ ᲂу҆́трѡ; и҆ не возвѣща́еши мѝ; И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ а҆мнѡ́нъ: ѳама́рꙋ сестрꙋ̀ а҆вессалѡ́ма бра́та моегѡ̀ а҆́зъ люблю̀. 4 He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ѡнада́въ: лѧ́зи на посте́ли твое́й и҆ разболи́сѧ, и҆ вни́детъ ѻ҆те́цъ тво́й ви́дѣти тѧ̀, и҆ рече́ши къ немꙋ̀: да прїи́детъ нн҃ѣ ѳама́рь сестра̀ моѧ̀, и҆ да мѝ да́стъ ꙗ҆́сти, и҆ да сотвори́тъ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма снѣ́дь, да ᲂу҆ви́ждꙋ и҆ вкꙋшꙋ̀ ѿ рꙋ́къ є҆ѧ̀. 5 Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”
6 И҆ лѧ́же а҆мнѡ́нъ и҆ разболѣ́сѧ: и҆ вни́де ца́рь ви́дѣти є҆го̀. И҆ речѐ а҆мнѡ́нъ къ царю̀: да прїи́детъ нн҃ѣ ѳама́рь сестра̀ моѧ̀ ко мнѣ̀ и҆ да и҆спече́тъ два̀ прѧ̑жма пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма, и҆ и҆́мамъ ꙗ҆́сти ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆ѧ̀. 6 So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
7 И҆ посла̀ даві́дъ къ ѳама́рѣ въ до́мъ, глаго́лѧ: и҆дѝ нн҃ѣ въ до́мъ а҆мнѡ́на бра́та твоегѡ̀ и҆ сотворѝ є҆мꙋ̀ снѣ́дь. 7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
8 И҆ и҆́де ѳама́рь въ до́мъ а҆мнѡ́на бра́та своегѡ̀, и҆ то́й лежа́ше. И҆ взѧ̀ тѣ́сто, и҆ смѣсѝ, и҆ ᲂу҆стро́и пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма є҆гѡ̀, и҆ и҆спечѐ прѧ̑жма: 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 и҆ взѧ̀ сковрадꙋ̀ и҆ и҆зложѝ пред̾ него̀, и҆ не восхотѣ̀ ꙗ҆́сти. И҆ речѐ а҆мнѡ́нъ: и҆зжени́те всѧ̑ мꙋ́жы ѿ менє̀. И҆ и҆згна́ша всѧ̑ мꙋ́жы ѿ негѡ̀. 9 She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.
10 И҆ речѐ а҆мнѡ́нъ къ ѳама́рѣ: внеси́ ми снѣ́дь во внꙋ́треннюю хра́минꙋ, и҆ ꙗ҆́мъ ѿ рꙋкꙋ̀ твоє́ю. И҆ взѧ̀ ѳама́рь прѧ̑жма, ꙗ҆̀же и҆спечѐ, и҆ внесѐ а҆мнѡ́нꙋ бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀ во внꙋ́треннюю хра́минꙋ, 10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
11 и҆ предста́ви є҆мꙋ̀ да ꙗ҆́стъ. И҆ ꙗ҆́тъ ю҆̀, и҆ речѐ є҆́й: грѧдѝ, лѧ́зи со мно́ю, сестро̀ моѧ̀. 11 When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”
12 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: нѝ, бра́те мо́й, не ѡ҆брꙋга́й менѐ, поне́же не сотвори́тсѧ та́кѡ во і҆и҃ли, не сотворѝ безꙋ́мїѧ сегѡ̀: 12 She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly!
13 и҆ а҆́зъ ка́мѡ скры́ю безче́стїе моѐ; и҆ ты̀ бꙋ́деши ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ ѿ безꙋ́мныхъ во і҆и҃ли: и҆ нн҃ѣ глаго́ли къ царю̀, да не ѿлꙋчи́тъ менѐ ѿ тебє̀. 13 As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”
14 И҆ не восхотѣ̀ а҆мнѡ́нъ послꙋ́шати гла́са є҆ѧ̀, и҆ преѡдолѣ̀ є҆́й, и҆ смирѝ ю҆̀, и҆ преспа̀ съ не́ю. 14 However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15 И҆ возненави́дѣ ю҆̀ а҆мнѡ́нъ не́навистїю вели́кою ѕѣлѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ве́лїимъ ненавидѣ́нїемъ возненави́дѣ ю҆̀ па́че любвѐ, є҆́юже люблѧ́ше ю҆̀, и҆ речѐ є҆́й а҆мнѡ́нъ: воста́ни и҆ ѿидѝ. 15 Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
16 И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ѳама́рь: (нѝ, бра́те,) ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕло́ба бо́льши є҆́сть послѣ́днѧѧ па́че пе́рвыѧ, ю҆́же сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ со мно́ю, є҆́же ѿсла́ти менѐ. И҆ не восхотѣ̀ а҆мнѡ́нъ слы́шати гла́са є҆ѧ̀. 16 She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
17 И҆ призва̀ ѻ҆́трока своего̀, приста́вника до́мꙋ своегѡ̀, и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: ѿслѝ нн҃ѣ сїю̀ ѿ менє̀ во́нъ, и҆ заключѝ двє́ри в̾слѣ́дъ є҆ѧ̀. 17 Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”
18 И҆ бѣ̀ ри́за на не́й и҆спещре́на, поне́же та́кѡ ѡ҆блача́хꙋсѧ дщє́ри царє́вы, сꙋ́щыѧ дѣви̑цы, во ѻ҆дє́жды своѧ̑. И҆ и҆зведѐ ю҆̀ во́нъ слꙋга̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ затворѝ двє́ри в̾слѣ́дъ є҆ѧ̀. 18 She had a garment of various colors on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.
19 И҆ взѧ̀ ѳама́рь пе́пелъ, и҆ насы́па на главꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ ѻ҆де́ждꙋ и҆спещре́ннꙋю растерза̀ на себѣ̀, и҆ возложѝ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ на главꙋ̀ свою̀, и҆ и҆дꙋ́щи и҆дѧ́ше и҆ вопїѧ́ше. 19 Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
20 И҆ речѐ къ не́й а҆вессалѡ́мъ бра́тъ є҆ѧ̀: є҆да̀ а҆мнѡ́нъ бра́тъ тво́й бы́сть съ тобо́ю; и҆ нн҃ѣ, сестро̀ моѧ̀, ᲂу҆молчѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бра́тъ тво́й є҆́сть: не полага́й на се́рдцы твое́мъ є҆́же глаго́лати сло́во сїѐ. И҆ сѣ́де ѳама́рь вдо́вствꙋющи въ домꙋ̀ а҆вессалѡ́ма бра́та своегѡ̀. 20 Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 И҆ слы́ша ца́рь даві́дъ всѧ̑ словеса̀ сїѧ̑, и҆ разгнѣ́васѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ не ѡ҆печа́ли дꙋ́ха а҆мнѡ́на сы́на своегѡ̀, поне́же люблѧ́ше є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ пе́рвенецъ бѣ̀ є҆мꙋ̀. 21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
22 И҆ не глаго́ла а҆вессалѡ́мъ со а҆мнѡ́номъ ни ѡ҆ добрѣ̀, ни ѡ҆ ѕлѣ̀, поне́же возненави́дѣ а҆вессалѡ́мъ а҆мнѡ́на тогѡ̀ ра́ди, поне́же ѳама́рꙋ сестрꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆брꙋга́лъ. 22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 И҆ бы́сть по двꙋ́хъ лѣ́тѣхъ дні́й, и҆ бѣ́ша стригꙋ́ще (ѻ҆́вцы) а҆вессалѡ́мѡвы (рабѝ) въ веласѡ́рѣ бли́з̾ є҆фре́ма: и҆ призва̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ всѧ̑ сы́ны царє́вы. 23 After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
24 И҆ прїи́де а҆вессалѡ́мъ ко царю̀ и҆ речѐ: сѐ, нн҃ѣ стригꙋ́тъ рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀, да и҆́детъ ᲂу҆̀бо ца́рь и҆ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ съ рабо́мъ твои́мъ. 24 Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
25 И҆ речѐ ца́рь ко а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ: нѝ, сы́не мо́й, да не по́йдемъ всѝ мы̀, и҆ да не ѡ҆тѧготи́мъ тѧ̀. И҆ нꙋжда́ше є҆го̀: и҆ не восхотѣ̀ (ца́рь) и҆тѝ, и҆ благословѝ є҆го̀. 25 The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
26 И҆ речѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ къ немꙋ̀: а҆́ще же нѝ, понѐ да и҆́детъ съ на́ми а҆мнѡ́нъ бра́тъ мо́й. И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ ца́рь: почто̀ и҆́детъ съ тобо́ю а҆мнѡ́нъ; 26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
27 И҆ принꙋ́ди є҆го̀ а҆вессалѡ́мъ, и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ съ ни́мъ а҆мнѡ́на и҆ всѧ̑ сы́ны царє́вы. И҆ сотворѝ а҆вессалѡ́мъ пи́ръ, ꙗ҆́коже твори́тъ пи́ръ ца́рь. 27 But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 И҆ заповѣ́да а҆вессалѡ́мъ ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ, глаго́лѧ: ви́дите є҆гда̀ возблажа́етъ се́рдце а҆мнѡ́не ѿ вїна̀, и҆ рекꙋ̀ ва́мъ: порази́те а҆мнѡ́на, и҆ ᲂу҆мертви́те є҆го̀: не ᲂу҆бо́йтесѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не а҆́зъ ли є҆́смь повелѣва́ѧй ва́мъ; мꙋжа́йтесѧ и҆ бꙋ́дите въ сы́ны си́лы. 28 Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
29 И҆ сотвори́ша ѻ҆́троцы а҆вессалѡ̑мли а҆мнѡ́нꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже заповѣ́да и҆̀мъ а҆вессалѡ́мъ. И҆ воста́ша всѝ сы́нове царє́вы, и҆ всѣ́де кі́йждо на мска̀ своего̀, и҆ бѣжа́ша. 29 The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule and fled.
30 И҆ бы́сть, сꙋ́щымъ и҆̀мъ на пꙋтѝ, и҆ слꙋ́хъ до́йде до даві́да, глаго́лѧ: и҆збѝ а҆вессалѡ́мъ всѧ̑ сы́ны царє́вы, и҆ не и҆збы́сть ѿ ни́хъ ни є҆ди́нъ. 30 While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”
31 И҆ воста̀ ца́рь, и҆ растерза̀ ри̑зы своѧ̑, и҆ лѧ́же на землѝ, и҆ всѝ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ предстоѧ́щїи є҆мꙋ̀ растерза́ша ри̑зы своѧ̑. 31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнада́въ, сы́нъ самаа̀ бра́та даві́дова, и҆ речѐ: да не рече́тъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ ѻ҆́троки сы́ны царє́вы ᲂу҆бѝ, но а҆мнѡ́нъ є҆́сть є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆бїе́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ то́й и҆з̾ ᲂу҆́стъ а҆вессалѡ́мꙋ не и҆схожда́ше, ѿне́лѣже ѡ҆брꙋга̀ сестрꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ ѳама́рꙋ: 32 Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
33 и҆ нн҃ѣ да не полага́етъ господи́нъ мо́й ца́рь словесѐ на се́рдцы свое́мъ, глаго́лѧ: всѝ сы́нове царє́вы ᲂу҆мро́ша: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆мнѡ́нъ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́мре. 33 Now therefore don’t let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for only Amnon is dead.”
34 И҆ побѣжѐ а҆вессалѡ́мъ. И҆ воздви́же ѻ҆́трокъ стра́жъ ѻ҆чеса̀ своѧ̑ и҆ ви́дѣ: и҆ сѐ, лю́дїе мно́зи и҆дꙋ́ще пꙋте́мъ в̾слѣ́дъ є҆гѡ̀ со страны̀ го́ръ въ низхожде́нїе. И҆ прїи́де стра́жъ и҆ возвѣстѝ царю̀ и҆ речѐ: мꙋ́жы ви́дѣхъ ѿ пꙋтѝ ѡ҆ро́нска со страны̀ горы̀. 34 But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
35 И҆ речѐ і҆ѡнада́въ ко царю̀: сѐ, сы́нове царє́вы прихо́дѧтъ: по словесѝ раба̀ твоегѡ̀, та́кѡ бы́сть. 35 Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
36 И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ сконча̀ глаго́лѧ, и҆ сѐ, сы́нове царє́вы прїидо́ша и҆ воздвиго́ша гла́съ сво́й и҆ пла́каша: и҆ са́мъ ца́рь и҆ всѝ ѻ҆́троцы є҆гѡ̀ пла́каша пла́чемъ вели́кимъ ѕѣлѡ̀. 36 As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
37 И҆ а҆вессалѡ́мъ ᲂу҆бѣжѐ, и҆ прїи́де ко ѳо́лмꙋ сы́нꙋ є҆мїꙋ́да, царю̀ гедсꙋ́рскꙋ, въ зе́млю хамааха́дскꙋ. И҆ пла́каше даві́дъ ца́рь ѡ҆ сы́нѣ свое́мъ всѧ̑ дни̑. 37 But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 И҆ а҆вессалѡ́мъ ᲂу҆бѣжѐ, и҆ и҆́де въ гедсꙋ́ръ, и҆ бѣ̀ та́мѡ трѝ лѣ̑та. 38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 И҆ ѡ҆ста́ви ца́рь даві́дъ и҆зы́ти в̾слѣ́дъ а҆вессалѡ́ма, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆тѣ́шисѧ ѡ҆ а҆мнѡ́нѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́мре. 39 King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
