< 1 Samuel 10 >

1 Then Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it on his head. And he kissed him, and said: “Behold, the Lord has anointed you as first ruler over his inheritance. And you shall free his people from the hands of their enemies, who are all around them. And this shall be a sign for you that God has anointed you as ruler:
И взя Самуил сосуд с елеем, и возлия на главу его, и лобыза его, и рече ему: не помаза ли тебе Господь на царство людем Своим иже во Израили? И ты царствовати будеши в людех Господних, и ты спасеши я от руки враг их окрест: и сие тебе знамение, яко помаза тя Господь над наследием Своим в князя:
2 When you will have departed from me this day, you will find two men beside the sepulcher of Rachel, in the parts of Benjamin to the south. And they will say to you: ‘The donkeys have been found, which you had been seeking as you traveled. And your father, forgetting about the donkeys, has been anxious for you, and he says, “What shall I do about my son?”’
егда отидеши днесь от мене, обрящеши два мужа при гробех Рахилиных в пределех Вениаминих в Силоме, в Вакалафе скачущих зелно, и рекут тебе: обретошася ослята, ихже ходисте искати: и се, отец твой отверже глагол о ослятех и зело печется вас ради, глаголя: что сотворю о сыне моем?
3 And when you will have departed from there, and will have traveled farther, and will have arrived at the oak of Tabor, in that place three men, who are going up to God at Bethel, will find you. One will be bringing three young goats, and another three loaves of bread, and another will be carrying a bottle of wine.
И отидеши оттуду, и далее приидеши до дубравы Фавора, и обрящеши тамо три мужы восходящыя к Богу в Вефиль, единаго ведуща трое козлят, а другаго несуща три вретища хлебов, а третияго несуща мех вина:
4 And when they will have greeted you, they will give you two loaves. And you shall accept these from their hand.
и вопросят тя яже о мире, и дадут ти два начатка хлебов, и возмеши от рук их:
5 After these things, you shall arrive at the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. And when you will have entered the city there, you will meet a company of prophets, descending from the high place, with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they will be prophesying.
и по сих да взыдеши на холм Божий, идеже есть собрание иноплеменник, тамо началницы иноплеменничи: и будет егда внидеши тамо во град, срящеши лик пророков исходящих от вамы, и пред ними свирели и тимпаны, и сопели и гусли, и тии прорицающии:
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will spring up within you. And you shall prophesy with them, and you shall be changed into another man.
и снидет на тя Дух Господень, и воспророчествуеши с ними, и обратишися в мужа иного:
7 Therefore, when these signs will have happened to you, do whatever your hand will find, for the Lord is with you.
и будет егда приидут знамения сия на тя, твори вся, елика обрящет рука твоя, яко Бог с тобою:
8 And you shall descend before me into Gilgal, (for I will descend to you), so that you may offer an oblation, and may immolate victims of peace. For seven days, you shall wait, until I come to you, and reveal to you what you should do.”
и снидеши прежде мене в Галгалы, и се, аз сниду к тебе вознести всесожжение и пожрети жертвы мирны: седмь дний пождеши, дондеже прииду к тебе, и покажу ти, что сотвориши.
9 And so, when he had turned his shoulder, so that he might go away from Samuel, God changed him to another heart. And all these signs occurred on that day.
И бысть внегда отвратити ему плещы своя отити от Самуила, преложи ему Бог сердце на ино. И приидоша вся знамения сия в день он.
10 And they arrived at the above-stated hill, and behold, a group of prophets met him. And the Spirit of the Lord leapt up within him, and he prophesied in their midst.
И взыде оттуду на холм, и се, лик пророческий противу ему: и взыде нань Дух Божий, и прорицаше среде их.
11 Then all those who had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and that he was prophesying, said to one other: “What is this thing that has happened to the son of Kish? Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
И быша вси видевшии его вчера и третияго дне, и видеша, и се, той посреде пророк прорицаяй. И реша людие кийждо ко искреннему своему: что сие бывшее сыну Кисову? Еда и Саул во пророцех?
12 And one would respond to the other, saying, “And who is their father?” Because of this, it turned into a proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
И отвеща некто от них и рече: и кто отец ему? Не Кис ли? И сего ради бысть в притчу: еда и Саул во пророцех?
13 Then he ceased to prophesy, and he went to the high place.
И сконча пророчествуя, и прииде оттуду на холм.
14 And the uncle of Saul said to him, and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And they responded: “To seek the donkeys. But when we did not find them, we went to Samuel.”
И рече ужик его к нему и ко отрочищу его: камо ходисте? И реша: ослят искати, и видехом, яко несть их, и внидохом к Самуилу.
15 And his uncle said to him, “Tell me what Samuel said to you.”
И рече ужик к Саулу: возвести ми ныне, что ти рече Самуил?
16 And Saul said to his uncle, “He told us that the donkeys would be found.” But the word about the kingdom, which Samuel had spoken to him, he did not reveal to him.
И рече Саул ужику своему: вестию возвести ми, яко обретошася ослята. Словесе же о царстве не возвести ему, еже рече Самуил.
17 And Samuel called the people together, to the Lord at Mizpah.
И заповеда Самуил всем людем приити ко Господу в Массифаф.
18 And he said to the sons of Israel: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I led Israel away from Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who were afflicting you.
И рече Самуил к сыном Израилевым: сия рече Господь Бог Израилев, глаголя: Аз изведох отцы вашя сыны Израилевы из Египта, и изях вы от руки фараона царя Египетскаго и от всех царств оскорбляющих вы:
19 But today you have rejected your God, who alone saved you from all your evils and tribulations. And you have said: ‘By no means! Instead, appoint a king over us.’ Now therefore, stand in the sight of the Lord, by your tribes and by your families.”
и вы днесь уничижисте Бога вашего, Иже Сам есть спасаяй вы от всех зол ваших и скорбей ваших, и ресте: ни, но царя да поставиши над нами: и ныне станите пред Господем по хоругвам вашым и по племенем вашым и по тысящам вашым.
20 And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell upon the tribe of Benjamin.
И приведе Самуил вся колена Израилева, и паде жребий на хоругвь Вениаминю.
21 And he brought near the tribe of Benjamin, with its families, and the lot fell upon the family of Matri. And then it went to Saul, the son of Kish. Therefore, they sought him, but he was not found.
И приведе хоругвь Вениаминю по племенам, и паде жребий на племя Маттариино: и приведоша племя Маттариино по мужем, и паде жребий на Саула сына Кисова: и искаху его, и не обреташеся.
22 And after these things, they consulted the Lord as to whether he would soon arrive there. And the Lord responded, “Behold, he is hidden at home.”
И вопроси Самуил еще Господа, глаголя: аще приидет семо муж еще? И рече Господь: се, той сокрыся в сосудех.
23 And so they ran and brought him there. And he stood in the midst of the people, and he was taller than the entire people, from the shoulders upward.
И тече Самуил, и взя его оттуду, и постави его посреде людий: и бысть вышше всех людий, от рамен и вышше.
24 And Samuel said to all the people: “Certainly, you see the one whom the Lord has chosen, that there is not anyone like him among all the people.” And all the people cried out and said, “Long live the king!”
И рече Самуил ко всем людем: видесте ли, егоже избра себе Господь, яко несть подобен ему во всех вас? И познаша вси людие и реша: да живет царь.
25 Then Samuel spoke to the people the law of the kingdom, and he wrote it in a book, and he stored it in the sight of the Lord. And Samuel dismissed all the people, each one to his own house.
И рече Самуил к людем оправдания царствия, и написа в книзе, и положи пред Господем.
26 And then Saul went away to his own house at Gibeah. And a portion of the army, whose hearts had been touched by God, went away with him.
И отпусти Самуил вся люди, и идоша кийждо во своя си, и Саул иде в дом свой в Гаваю: и идоша с ним сынове сил, ихже коснеся Господь сердец их, с Саулом.
27 Yet the sons of Belial said, “How could this one be able to save us?” And they despised him, and they brought him no presents. But he pretended not to hear them.
Сынове же погибелнии реша: кто спасет нас, сей ли? И безчествоваша его, и не принесоша ему даров.
