2 Царе 1
1 След смъртта на Саула, като се върна Давид от поражението на амаличаните, и Давид беше престоял в Сиклаг два дена,
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 на третия ден, ето, дойде един човек из стана, от Саула, с раздрани дрехи и пръст на главата си; и като влезе при Давида, падна на земята та се поклони.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 И Давид рече: От где идеш? А той му каза: От Израилевия стан се отървах.
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 И рече Му Давид: Какво стана? Кажи ми, моля. А той отговори: Людете побягнаха от сражението, даже и мнозина от людете паднаха мъртви; умряха още и Саул и син му Ионатан.
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 Тогава Давид рече на момъка, който му съобщаваше това: От къде знаеш, че Саул и син му Ионатан са мъртви?
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 И момъкът, който му съобщаваше това рече: Намерих се случайно в хълма Гелвуе, и, ето, Саул беше се подпрял на копието си, и, ето, колесниците и конниците го застигнаха.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 И като погледна отдире си, той ме видя, и повика ме. И отговорих: Ето ме.
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 И рече ми: Кой си ти? И отговорих му, амаличанин съм.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 Пак ми рече: Застани, моля, над мене та ме убий, защото помрачение ме обзе; понеже целият ми живот е още в мене.
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 И тъй, застанах над него и го убих, понеже бях уверен, че не можеше да живее, като беше вече паднал; и взех короната, която беше на главата му, и гривната, която беше на ръката му, та ги донесох тук при господаря си.
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Тогава Давид хвана дрехите си, та ги раздра: така направиха и всичките мъже, които бяха с него
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 И жалиха и плакаха и постиха до вечерта за Саула и за сина му Ионатана, и за Господните люде и за Израилевия дом, за гдето бяха паднали от меч.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 А Давид рече на момъка, който му съобщаваше това: От где си ти? И отговори: Аз съм син на един чужденец, амаличанин.
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 И рече му Давид: Ти как се не убоя да дигнеш ръка да убиеш Господния помазаник?
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 И Давид повика един от момците и рече: Пристъпи, нападни го. И той го порази та умря.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 И Давид му рече: Кръвта ти да бъде на главата ти; защото устата ти свидетелствуваха против тебе, като рече: Аз убих Господния помазаник
17 Тогава Давид оплака Саула и сина му Ионатана с тоя плач;
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 (и заръча да научат юдейците тая Песен на лъка; ето, написана е в Книгата на Праведния):
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 Славата ти, о Израилю, е застреляна на опасните места на полето ти! Как паднаха Силните.
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Не възвестявайте това в Гет, Не го прогласявайте по улиците на Аскалон, За да не се зарадват филистимските дъщери, За да не се развеселят дъщерите на необрязаните.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Хълми гелвуиски, да няма роса нито дъжд на вас, Нито ниви доставяйки първи плодове за жертви; Защото там бе захвърлен щитът на силните, Щитът на Саула, като да не е бил той помазан с миро.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 От кръвта на убитите, От лоя на силните, Лъкът Ионатанов не се връщаше назад, И мечът Саулов не се връщаше празен.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Саул и Ионатан Бяха любезни и рачителни в живота си, И в смъртта си не се разделиха; По-леки бяха от орлите, По-силни от лъвовете.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Израилеви дъщери, плачете за Саула, Който ви обличаше в червено с украшения, Който туряше златни украшения по дрехите ви.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Как паднаха силните всред боя! Ионатан, поразен на опасните места на полето ти
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Прескръбен съм за тебе Ионатане, брате мой! Рачителен ми беше ти; Твоята любов към мене беше чудесна, Превъзхождаше любовта на жените.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Как паднаха силните, И погинаха бойните оръжия!
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
