< Kings II 1 >
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
И бысть егда умре Саул, и Давид возвратися победив Амалика, и пребысть Давид в Секелазе дни два.
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
И бысть в третий день, и се, муж прииде от полка людий Сауловых, ризы же его (бяху) раздраны, и персть на главе его: и бысть егда вниде к Давиду (отрок), и пад на земли поклонися ему.
3 And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
И рече ему Давид: откуду ты пришел еси? И рече ему: от полка Израилева аз избегох.
4 And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
И рече ему Давид: что слово сие? Возвести ми. И рече: яко побегоша людие от брани, и падоша мнози от людий, и измроша, и Саул и Ионафан сын его умре.
5 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: како знаеши, яко умре Саул и Ионафан сын его?
6 And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
И рече отрок возвещаяй ему: по случаю приидох в гору Гелвуйскую, и се, Саул нападаше на копие свое, и се, колесницы и вельможи собрашася нань:
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
и обозреся вспять (Саул) и виде мя, и призва мя, и рех: се, аз:
8 And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
и рече ми: кто ты еси? И рех: Амаликитин есмь аз:
9 And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
и рече ми: прииди убо на мя и убий мя, яко объят мя тма лютая, яко еще душа моя во мне:
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
и стах над ним, и убих его: ведех бо, яко не будет жив по падении своем: и взяв венец царский, иже бе на главе его, и нарамницу, яже бе на плещу его, и принесох сия к господину моему семо.
11 And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.
И емься Давид за ризы своя, и раздра я, и вси мужие иже с ним раздраша ризы своя,
12 And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with the sword.
и рыдаша и плакашася, и постишася до вечера о Сауле, и о Ионафане сыне его, и о людех Иудиных и о доме Израилеве, яко избиени быша мечем.
13 And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
И рече Давид отроку возвестившему ему: откуду ты еси? И рече: сын мужа пришелца Амаликитина есмь аз.
14 And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
И рече ему Давид: како не убоялся еси воздвигнути руку твою погубити христа Господня?
15 And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.
И призва Давид единаго от отрок своих и рече: иди, убий его. И уби его, и умре.
16 And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
И рече ему Давид: кровь твоя на главе твоей, яко уста твоя на тя возвещаша, глаголюще: яко аз убих христа Господня.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
И плакася Давид плачем сим о Сауле и о Ионафане сыне его,
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
и рече еже научити сыны Иудины стрелянию. Се написано в книзе Праведнаго.
19 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
И рече: воздвигни столп, Израилю, над умершими на высоких твоих язвеными: како падоша сильнии?
20 Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Не возвещайте в Гефе, ниже поведайте на исходищих Аскалоних, да не возвеселятся дщери иноплеменничи, ни да возрадуются дщери необрезанных.
21 You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
Горы Гелвуйския, да не снидет роса ниже дождь на вас: и села начатков (житных), яко тамо повержен бысть щит сильных: щит Саулов не быти помазан елеем:
22 From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
от крове язвеных и от тука сильных лук Ионафанов не возвратися тощь вспять, и мечь Саулов не возвратися тощь:
23 Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
Саул и Ионафан возлюбленнии и прекраснии неразлучни, благолепни в животе своем, и в смерти своей не разлучишася: паче орлов легцы и паче львов крепцы:
24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
плачите по Сауле, дщери Израилевы, иже вас облачаше в червленицы со украшением вашим, и возлагаше украшение злато на ризы вашя:
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!
како падоша сильнии посреде брани? Ионафане, до смерти на высоких твоих язвен еси:
26 I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
болезную о тебе, брате мой Ионафане, красный ми зело, удивися любовь твоя от мене паче любве женския:
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
како падоша сильнии, и погибоша оружия бранная?
