< 1 Samuel 30 >
1 And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire.
И когато на третия ден Давид и мъжете му влязоха в Сиклаг, амаличаните бяха нападнали южната страна и Сиклаг, и бяха опустошили Сиклаг и бяха го изгорили с огън.
2 And they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
Бяха запленили и жените, които се намираха в него; не бяха убили никого, ни малък, ни голям, но бяха ги откарали и бяха отишли в пътя си.
3 Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
А когато Давид и мъжете му дойдоха в града, ето, беше изгорен с огън, и жените им, синовете им и дъщерите им пленени.
4 David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
Тогава Давид и людете, които бяха с него, плакаха с висок глас, докато не им остана вече сила да плачат.
5 For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
Също и двете Давидови жени бяха пленени, езраелката Ахиноам и Авигея жената на кармилеца Навал.
6 And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.
И Давид се наскърби много, защото людете говореха да го убият с камъни, понеже душата на всички люде беше преогорчена, всички за синовете си и дъщерите си; а Давид се укрепи в Господа своя Бог.
7 And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
Тогава Давид каза на свещеника Авиатара, Ахимелеховия син: Донеси ми тук, моля, ефода. И Авиатар донесе ефода при Давида.
8 And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
И Давид се допита до Господа, казвайки: Да преследвам ли тоя полк? ще ги стигна ли? А Той му отговори: Преследвай, защото без друго ще ги стигнеш, и непременно ще отървеш всичко.
9 Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
Тогава Давид отиде с шестте стотин мъже, които бяха с него, и дойдоха до потока Восор, дето се спряха изостаналите надире;
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men. For two hundred stayed, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
понеже останаха надире двеста души, които бяха до там уморени, щото не можеха да преминат потока Восор. А Давид и четиристотин мъже преследваха;
11 And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might drink,
и на полето намериха един египтянин, когото доведоха при Давида; и дадоха му хляб та яде, и напиха го с вода,
12 and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for three days and three nights.
дадоха му и част от низаница смокини и два грозда сухо грозде; и като яде, духът му са върна в него, защото три дена и три нощи не беше ял хляб, нито беше пил вода.
13 And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
И Давид му каза: Чий си? и от где си? И той рече: Аз съм младеж египтянин, слуга на един амаличанин; и господарят ми ме остави понеже се разболях преди три дена.
14 For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to the south of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
Ние нападнахме южната земя на херетците, и Юдовите земи, и южната земя на Халева, и изгорихме Сиклаг с огън.
15 And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
Тогава Давид му каза: Завеждаш ли ме при тоя полк? А той рече: Закълни ми се в Бога, че няма да ме убиеш, нито ще ме предадеш в ръката на господаря ми, и ще те заведа при тоя полк.
16 And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
И когато го заведе, ето, те бяха разпръснати по цялата местност та ядяха, пиеха и се веселяха поради всичките големи користи, които бяха взели от филистимската земя и от Юдовата земя.
17 And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
И Давид ги поразяваше от зората дори до вечерта срещу другия ден, тъй че ни един от тях не се избави, освен четиристотин момци, които се качиха на камили и побягнаха.
18 Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
Така Давид отърва всичко що бяха взели амаличаните; също и двете си жени отърва Давид.
19 And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
Не им се изгуби нищо, ни малко ни голямо, ни синове, ни дъщери, ни користи, ни каквото да било нещо, което бяха заграбили от тях; Давид върна всичко.
20 And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
Също Давид взе всичките овци и говеда; и като караха тая чарда пред него, казваха: Тия са Давидовите користи.
21 Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
И когато дойде Давид при двестате мъже, които бяха до там уморени, щото не можеха да следват Давида, и които бяха оставили при потока Восор, те излязоха да посрещнат Давида и да посрещнат людете, които бяха с него; и когато се приближи Давид при людете, поздрави ги.
22 And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
А всичките лоши и развратени мъже от ония, които бяха ходили с Давида, проговориха казвайки: Понеже тия не дойдоха с нас, не ще им дадем от користите, които отървахме, освен на всекиго жена му и чадата му; тях нека вземат и да си отидат.
23 But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
Но Давид каза: Не бива да постъпите така, братя мои, с ония неща, които ни даде Господ, Който не опази и предаде в ръката ни полка що бе дошъл против нас.
24 And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
И кой би послушал тия ваши думи? Но какъвто е делът на участвуващия в боя, такъв ще бъде делът и на седящия пре вещите; по равно ще се делят користите помежду им.
25 And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even to this day.
И така ставаше от оня ден и нататък; той направи това закон и повеление в Израиля, както е и до днес.
26 Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
А когато Давид дойде в Сиклаг, изпрати от тия користи на Юдовите старейшини, на приятелите си, и рече: Ето ви подарък от користите взети от Господните врагове.
27 to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
Изпрати на ония, които живееха във Ветил, на ония в южния Рамот, на ония в Ятир,
28 and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
на ония в Ароир, на ония в Сифмот, на ония в Естемо,
29 and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
на ония в Рахал, на ония в градовете на ерамеилците, на ония в градовете на кенейците,
30 and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
на ония в Хорма, на ония в Хорасан, на ония в Атах,
31 and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
на ония в Хеврон, и на ония във всичките места, гдето Давид и мъжете му се навъртаха.
