1 Samuel 25
1 When Samuel died, all Israel gathered to mourn for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David set out and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
И умре Самуил, и собрашася весь Израиль, и плакашася его, и погребоша его в дому его во Армафеме. И воста Давид, и сниде в пустыню Маоню.
2 Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. He was a very wealthy man with a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
И бе человек в Маоне и стада его на Кармиле, и человек велик зело: и сему овец три тысящы и коз тысяща: и бысть егда стрижаше стада своя на Кармиле:
3 His name was Nabal, and his wife’s name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband, a Calebite, was harsh and evil in his dealings.
имя же человеку Навал и имя жене его Авигеа: и жена его блага смыслом и добра взором зело, муж же ея человек жесток и лукав в начинаниих и человек зверонравен.
4 While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
И услыша Давид в пустыни, яко стрижет Навал на Кармиле стада своя.
5 So David sent ten young men and instructed them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name
И посла Давид десять отроков и рече отроком: взыдите на Кармил и идите к Навалу и вопросите его именем моим с миром,
6 and say to him, ‘Long life to you, and peace to you and your house and to all that belongs to you.
и рцыте сия: здрав ли еси ты и дом твой, и вся твоя здрава ли суть?
7 Now I hear that it is time for shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.
И ныне се, услышах, яко стригут тебе ныне пастуси твои, иже беша с нами в пустыни, и не возбранихом им, и не повелехом им ничесоже во вся дни, егда беша на Кармиле:
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on the day of a feast. Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
вопроси отроков твоих и возвестят ти: и да обрящут отроцы твои благодать пред очима твоима, яко в день благ приидохом: даждь убо ныне еже обрящет рука твоя отроком твоим и сыну твоему Давиду.
9 When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.
И приидоша отроцы Давидовы и глаголаша словеса сия к Навалу, по всем глаголом сим именем Давидовым.
10 But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.
И возскочи Навал и отвеща отроком Давидовым и рече: кто Давид? И кто сын Иессеов? Днесь умножени суть раби отходяще кийждо от лица господина своего:
11 Why should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give them to these men whose origin I do not know?”
и возму ли хлебы моя и вино мое и закланая моя, яже заклах стригущым моя овцы, и дам ли оная мужем, ихже не вем откуду суть?
12 So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.
И возвратишася отроцы Давидовы путем своим, и возвращшеся приидоша и возвестиша Давиду по глаголом сим.
13 And David said to his men, “Strap on your swords!” So David and all his men put on their swords, and about four hundred men followed David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
И рече Давид мужем своим: препояшитеся кийждо оружием своим. И препоясашася оружием своим, и сам Давид препоясася мечем своим, и идоша вслед Давида, яко четыреста мужей, а двести их осташася у сосудов.
14 Meanwhile, one of Nabal’s young men informed Nabal’s wife Abigail, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he scolded them.
И Авигеи жене Навалове поведа един отрок, глаголя: се, присыла Давид послы от пустыни благословити господина нашего, он же отвратися от них:
15 Yet these men were very good to us. When we were in the field, we were not harassed, and nothing of ours went missing the whole time we lived among them.
мужие же блази (беша) нам зело, не возбраняху нам, ниже повелеваху нам что во вся дни, в няже бехом с ними:
16 They were a wall around us, both day and night, the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
и сущым нам на селе, аки стена беша окрест нас, и в нощи и во дни, по вся дни в няже бехом с ними пасуще стада:
17 Now consider carefully what you must do, because disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that nobody can speak to him!”
и ныне разумей и виждь ты, что сотвориши, яко совершися злоба на господина нашего и на дом его, и сей сын губитель, и не возможно глаголати к нему.
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five butchered sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. She loaded them on donkeys
И потщася Авигеа, и взя двести хлебов и два сосуда вина и пять овец устроеных и пять мер муки чистыя и кошницу гроздия и двести вязаниц смоквей, и возложи на ослята,
19 and said to her young men, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
и рече ко отроком своим: поидите предо мною, и се, аз вслед вас иду. Мужу же своему не возвести.
20 As Abigail came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming down toward her, and she met them.
И бысть, вседшей ей на ослицу и сходящей в подгорие, и се, Давид и мужие его идяху сопротиву ея, и срете их.
21 Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness. Nothing that belongs to him has gone missing, yet he has paid me back evil for good.
И рече Давид: воистинну всуе вся навалова сохраних в пустыни, и ничесоже повелех взяти от всех яже его, и воздаде ми злая за благая:
22 May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning.”
сия да сотворит Бог Давиду и сия да приложит, аще до утра оставлю от всех Наваловых даже до мочащагося к стене.
23 When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, fell facedown, and bowed before him.
И увиде Авигеа Давида, и потщася и скочи со осляте, и паде пред Давидом на лице свое, и поклонися ему до земли,
24 She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.
и паде на ноги его и рече: во мне, господине мой, неправда моя: да глаголет ныне раба твоя во ушы твои, и послушай словес рабы твоея:
25 My lord should pay no attention to this scoundrel Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name means Fool, and folly accompanies him. I, your servant, did not see my lord’s young men whom you sent.
да не возложит ныне господин мой сердца своего на человека гибелнаго сего, яко по имени своему той есть: Навал имя ему, и безумие с ним: аз же раба твоя не видех отроков господина моего, ихже послал еси:
26 Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and avenging yourself with your own hand. May your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be like Nabal.
и ныне, господине мой, жив Господь и жива душа твоя, якоже возбрани тебе Господь еже не приити на кровь неповинну и спасти тебе руку твою: и ныне да будут якоже Навал врази твои и ищущии господину моему зла:
27 Now let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow you.
и ныне возми благословение сие, еже принесе раба твоя господину моему, и даждь отроком предстоящым господину моему:
28 Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the LORD will surely make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because he fights the LORD’s battles. May no evil be found in you as long as you live.
отими ныне неправду рабы твоея, яко творя сотворит Господь дом верен господину моему, яко на брани господина моего Господь споборет, и злоба не обрящется в тебе никогдаже:
29 And should someone pursue you and seek your life, then the life of my lord will be bound securely by the LORD your God in the bundle of the living. But He shall fling away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
и аще востанет человек гоняй тя и ищай души твоея, и будет душа господина моего привязана соузом жизни у Господа Бога, и душу врагов твоих поразиши пращею посреде пращи:
30 When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
и будет егда сотворит Господь господину моему вся, елика глаголаше благая о тебе, и повелит тебе Господь (быти) вождем во Израили,
31 then my lord will have no remorse or guilt of conscience over needless bloodshed and revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.”
и не будет тебе сие мерзость и соблазн сердцу господина моего, еже излияти кровь неповинную туне и спасти руку свою себе: и да благо сотворит Господь господину моему, и воспомянеши рабу твою, еже благосотворити ей.
32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
И рече Давид ко Авигеи: благословен Господь Бог Израилев, иже посла тя днесь на сретение ми,
33 Blessed is your discernment, and blessed are you, because today you kept me from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
и благословен совет твой, и благословена ты удержавшая мя в день сей ити на пролитие крове, и спасти ми руку мою:
34 Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, then surely no male belonging to Nabal would have been left alive by morning light.”
обаче жив Господь Бог Израилев, иже возбрани ми днесь зло сотворити тебе: зане аще бы не потщалася и не пришла еси на сретение мне, тогда рех: аще останется Навалу до утренняго света мочащийся к стене.
35 Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him, and he said to her, “Go home in peace. See, I have heeded your voice and granted your request.”
И прия Давид от руку ея вся, яже принесе ему, и рече ей: иди с миром в дом свой: виждь, послушах гласа твоего и приях лице твое.
36 When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
И прииде Авигеа к Навалу: и се, у него пир в дому его, яко пир царев: и сердце навалово весело в нем, и той пиян до зела. И не возвести Авигеа Навалу глагола ни велика ни мала до света утренняго.
37 In the morning when Nabal was sober, his wife told him about these events, and his heart failed within him and he became like a stone.
И бысть заутра, егда истрезвися Навал от вина, поведа ему жена его вся глаголы сия, и умре сердце его в нем, и той бысть яко камень.
38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal dead.
И бысть яко десять дний, и порази Господь Навала, и умре.
39 On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking for her in marriage.
И услыша Давид и рече: благословен Господь, иже суди суд поношения моего от руки Навали, и раба Своего удержа от руки злых, и злобу Навалю обрати Господь на главу его. И посла Давид и глагола ко Авигеи пояти ю себе в жену.
40 When his servants came to Abigail at Carmel, they said, “David has sent us to take you as his wife.”
И приидоша отроцы Давидовы ко Авигеи в Кармил, и реша ей, глаголюще: Давид посла нас к тебе, да тя поймет себе в жену.
41 She arose, then bowed facedown and said, “Here is your maidservant, ready to serve and to wash the feet of my lord’s servants.”
И воста и поклонися до земли лицем и рече: се, раба твоя в рабыню умывати ноги отроком твоим.
42 So Abigail hurried and got on a donkey, and attended by five of her maidens, she followed David’s messengers and became his wife.
И воста Авигеа, и вседе на осля, и пять девиц идяху вслед ея, и пойде вслед отроков Давидовых, и бысть ему в жену.
43 David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.
И Ахинааму поят Давид от Иезраеля, и бесте ему обе жены.
44 But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Palti son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
Саул же даде Мелхолу дщерь свою жену Давидову Фалтию сыну Амисову иже от Роммы.
