1 Samuel 30
1 Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire.
И бысть приходящу Давиду и мужем его к Секелагу в день третий, и Амалик нападе на южную страну и на Секелаг, и порази Секелаг и сожже его огнем:
2 And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way.
жен же и всех сущих в нем от мала до велика не умертвиша мужа ни жены, но плениша, и отидоша в путь свой.
3 So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives,
И прииде Давид и мужие его во град, и се, сожжен бяше огнем, жены же их и сынове их и дщери их пленени быша.
4 David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.
И воздвиже Давид и мужие его глас свой и плакашася дондеже не бе в них силы ктому плакатися.
5 For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
И жены обе Давидовы пленени быша, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня, и Авигеа бывшая жена Навала Кармилскаго.
6 And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons, and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God.
И оскорбе Давид зело, яко совещашася людие камением побити его, яко скорбна бяше душа всех людий коегождо о сынех своих и о дщерех своих. И укрепися Давид о Господе Бозе своем,
7 And he said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
и рече Давид ко Авиафару иерею сыну Авимелехову: принеси ефуд. И принесе Авиафар ефуд к Давиду.
8 And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey.
И вопроси Давид Господа, глаголя: пожену ли вслед полчища сего? И постигну ли их? И рече Господь: гони, яко постизая постигнеши их и избавляя избавиши.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some being weary stayed there.
И иде Давид сам и шесть сот мужей с ним, и приидоша даже до потока Восорска, прочии же осташася:
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who being weary could not go over the torrent Besor.
и гна с четырми сты мужей, двести же мужей осташася, иже седоша об он пол потока Восорска.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David: and they gave him bread to eat, and water to drink,
И обретоша мужа Египтянина на селе, и яша его, и приведоша его к Давиду, и даша ему хлеба, и яде, и напоиша его водою:
12 As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water three days, and three nights.
и даша ему часть смоквей, и яде, и укрепися дух его в нем, яко не яде хлеба и не пи воды три дни и три нощы.
13 And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite, and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
И рече ему Давид: откуду еси, и чий еси ты? И рече отрок Египтянин: аз есмь раб мужа Амаликитянина, и остави мя господин мой, яко изнемогох днесь уже третий день:
14 For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire.
и мы ходихом на юг до Хелефи и на Иудейския страны и на Гелвуй, и Секелагу пожгохом огнем.
15 And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? And he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him.
И рече ему Давид: доведеши ли мя до полчища сего? И рече: кленися ми Богом, яко не убиеши мя и не предаси мя в руце господину моему, и доведу тя до полчища сего.
16 And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey, and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
(И клятся ему Давид: ) и приведе его онамо, и се, тии разсеяни быша по лицу всея земли, ядуще и пиюще и празднующе о всех корыстех великих, яже взяша от земли иноплеменничи и от земли Иудины.
17 And David slew them from the evening unto the evening of the next day, and there escaped not a man of them, but four hundred young men, who had gotten upon camels, and fled.
И прииде на них Давид, и изби их от утра даже до вечера и наутрие: и не спасеся от них муж, разве четыреста отрок, иже вседоша на велблюды и убежаша.
18 So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
И отя Давид вся елика взяша Амаликиты, и обе жены своя отя,
19 And there was nothing missing small or great, neither of their sons or their daughters, nor of the spoils, and whatsoever they had taken: David recovered all.
и не погибе им от мала даже до велика, и от корыстей, и даже до сынов и дщерей и даже до всех, яже взяша, и вся возврати Давид:
20 And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David.
и взя Давид вся стада и паствины, и погна пред пленом: и плен оный нарицашеся сей плен Давидов.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who being weary had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people saluted them peaceably.
И прииде Давид к двема стом мужем оставшымся ити вслед Давида, ихже посади на потоце Восорсте, и изыдоша на сретение Давиду и на сретение людем иже с ним: и прииде Давид до людий, и вопросиша его о мирных.
22 Then all the wicked and unjust men that had gone with David answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way.
И отвещаша вси мужие пагубнии и лукавнии от мужей ратных ходивших с Давидом и реша: яко не гониша с нами, не дадим им от плена, егоже взяхом, но токмо кийждо жену свою и чада своя да возмут и возвратятся.
23 But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands.
И рече Давид: не сотворите, братия моя, тако, повнегда предаде Господь нам и сохрани нас, и предаде Господь полчище сие нашедшее на ны в руки нашя:
24 And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike.
и кто послушает ваших словес сих? Яко не менши нас суть: понеже по части исходящаго на брань, тако будет часть седящаго при сосудех, по томужде разделятся.
25 And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute, and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel.
И бысть от дне того и выше, и бысть в повеление и на оправдание Израилю даже до дне сего.
26 Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord.
И прииде Давид в Секелаг, и посла старейшинам от корыстей Иудиных и искренним своим, глаголя: се, вам благословение от корыстей врагов Господних,
27 To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether,
сущым в Вефсуре и в Раме южней и в Гефоре,
28 And to them that were in Aroer and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo,
и во Ароире и во Аммаде, и во Сафе и во Есфифе и в Гефе,
29 And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni,
и в Кинане и в Сафеце, и в Фимафе и в Кармиле, и сущым во градех Иеремиила и во градех Кенезия,
30 And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach,
и сущым во Иеримуфе и во Вирсавеи и в Номве,
31 And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men.
и сущым в Хевроне, и во вся места, яже пройде Давид тамо сам и мужие его.
