1 Вот последние слова Давида, изречение Давида, сына Иессеева, изречение мужа, поставленного высоко, помазанника Бога Иаковлева и сладкого певца Израилева:
1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Дух Господень говорит во мне, и слово Его на языке у меня.
2 “Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Сказал Бог Израилев, говорил о мне скала Израилева: владычествующий над людьми будет праведен, владычествуя в страхе Божием.
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 И как на рассвете утра, при восходе солнца на безоблачном небе, от сияния после дождя вырастает трава из земли,
4 shall be as the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’
5 не так ли дом мой у Бога? Ибо завет вечный положил Он со мною, твердый и непреложный. Не так ли исходит от Него все спасение мое и все хотение мое?
5 Isn’t my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation and all my desire. Won’t he make it grow?
6 А нечестивые будут, как выброшенное терние, которого не берут рукою;
6 But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 но кто касается его, вооружается железом или деревом копья, и огнем сожигают его на месте.
7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
8 Вот имена храбрых у Давида: Исбосеф Ахаманитянин, главный из трех; он поднял копье свое на восемьсот человек и поразил их в один раз.
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
9 По нем Елеазар, сын Додо, сына Ахохи, из трех храбрых, бывших с Давидом, когда они порицанием вызывали Филистимлян, собравшихся на войну;
9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
10 израильтяне вышли против них, и он стал и поражал Филистимлян до того, что рука его утомилась и прилипла к мечу. И даровал Господь в тот день великую победу, и народ последовал за ним для того только, чтоб обирать убитых.
10 He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
11 За ним Шамма, сын Аге, Гараритянин. Когда Филистимляне собрались в Фирию, где было поле, засеянное чечевицею, и народ побежал от Филистимлян,
11 After him was Shammah the son of Agee, a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 то он стал среди поля и сберег его и поразил Филистимлян. И даровал тогда Господь великую победу.
12 But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.
13 Трое сих главных из тридцати вождей пошли и вошли во время жатвы к Давиду в пещеру Одоллам, когда толпы Филистимлян стояли в долине Рефаимов.
13 Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Давид был тогда в укрепленном месте, а отряд Филистимлян — в Вифлееме.
14 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 И захотел Давид пить, и сказал: кто напоит меня водою из колодезя Вифлеемского, что у ворот?
15 David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 Тогда трое этих храбрых пробились сквозь стан Филистимский и почерпнули воды из колодезя Вифлеемского, что у ворот, и взяли и принесли Давиду. Но он не захотел пить ее и вылил ее во славу Господа,
16 The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David; but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh.
17 и сказал: сохрани меня Господь, чтоб я сделал это! не кровь ли это людей, ходивших с опасностью собственной жизни? И не захотел пить ее. Вот что сделали эти трое храбрых!
17 He said, “Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
18 И Авесса, брат Иоава, сын Саруин, был главным из трех; он убил копьем своим триста человек и был в славе у тех троих.
18 Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
19 Из трех он был знатнейшим и был начальником, но с теми тремя не равнялся.
19 Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
20 Ванея, сын Иодая, мужа храброго, великий по делам, из Кавцеила; он поразил двух сыновей Ариила Моавитского; он же сошел и убил льва во рве в снежное время;
20 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
21 он же убил одного Египтянина человека видного; в руке Египтянина было копье, а он пошел к нему с палкою и отнял копье из руки Египтянина, и убил его собственным его копьем:
21 He killed a huge Egyptian, and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 вот что сделал Ванея, сын Иодаев, и он был в славе у трех храбрых;
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 он был знатнее тридцати, но с теми тремя не равнялся. И поставил его Давид ближайшим исполнителем своих приказаний.
23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
