1 Samuel 28
1 Around that time the Philistines called up their armies to go to war against Israel. So Achish told David, “You do realize that you and your men must accompany me as part of the army.”
И бысть во дни оны, и собрашася иноплеменницы в полки своя изыти братися со Израилтяны. И рече Агхус к Давиду: разумея разумей, яко со мною изыдеши на брань ты и мужие твои.
2 “That's fine!” David replied. “Then you yourself will discover what I, your servant, can do.” “That's fine too,” Achish responded. “I'll make you my bodyguard for life.”
И рече Давид ко Агхусу: тако ныне уразумееши, яже сотворит раб твой. И рече Агхус к Давиду: темже началника хранителей телу (моему) поставлю тя во вся дни.
3 By now Samuel had died, and all of Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his home town. Saul had got rid of mediums and spiritists from the country.
И Самуил умре, и рыдаше по нем весь Израиль, и погребоша его во Армафеме во граде его: и Саул изби чревобасники и волхвы земли своея.
4 The Philistine armies gathered and set up camp at Shunem. Saul called up all the Israelite army and set up camp at Gilboa.
И собрашася иноплеменницы и приидоша и ополчишася в Сонаме: и собра Саул вся мужы Израилевы, и ополчишася в Гелвуе.
5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified, shaking with fear.
И виде Саул полки иноплеменничи, и убояся, и ужасеся сердце его зело.
6 He asked advice from the Lord, but the Lord didn't answer him either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.
И вопроси Саул Господа, и не отвеща ему Господь ни во сне, ни во явлениих, ни во пророцех.
7 So Saul told his officers, “Find me a woman who is a medium so I can go and ask her advice.” “There's a woman who is a medium at Endor,” his officers replied.
И рече Саул отроком своим: поищите ми жены волшебницы, и пойду к ней, и вопрошу ея. И реша отроцы его к нему: се, жена волшебница во Аендоре.
8 Saul disguised himself by wearing different clothes. He went with two of his men to the woman at night. Saul told her, “Bring up a spirit for me so I can ask some questions. I'll give you the name.”
И прикрыся Саул и облечеся в ризы ины, и иде сам и два мужа с ним, и прииде нощию к жене и рече ей: поволхвуй ми чревоволшебством, и возведи ми, егоже реку ти.
9 “Don't you know what Saul has done,” she replied. “He's got rid of the mediums and spiritists from the country. Are you trying to set a trap for me and get me killed?”
И рече ему жена: се, ныне ты сам веси, елика сотвори Саул, како истреби чревобасники и волхвы от земли, и вскую ты ловиши душу мою, еже умертвити ю?
10 Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, “As the Lord lives, you won't be held guilty for doing this.”
И клятся ей Саул, глаголя: жив Господь, аще срящет тя неправда о словеси сем.
11 “Who do you want me to bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel,” he replied.
И рече жена Саулу: кого возведу ти? И рече Саул: Самуила возведи ми.
12 But when the woman saw Samuel, she shouted loudly, and said to Saul, “Why have you tricked me? You're Saul!”
И виде жена Самуила, и возгласи гласом велиим, и рече жена к Саулу: почто мя прельстил еси? И ты еси Саул.
13 “Don't be scared,” The king told her. “What can you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the ground,” the woman replied.
И рече ей царь: не бойся, рцы кого видела еси? И рече ему жена: боги видех восходящыя от земли.
14 “What does he look like?” Saul asked. “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “He has a robe wrapped around him” Saul thought it must be Samuel, and he bowed facedown in respect.
И рече ей: что познала еси? И рече ему (жена): (видех) мужа стара восходяща от земли, и сей оболчен одеянием долгим. И уразуме Саул, яко сей Самуил (есть), и преклони лице свое на землю и поклонися ему.
15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why are you bothering me by bringing me up?” “I'm in terrible trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are attacking me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me anymore, either by prophets or by dreams. That's why I have called you up so you tell me what to do.”
И рече ему Самуил: почто понудил еси мя взыти ми? И рече Саул: скорблю зело, яко иноплеменницы воюют на мя, и Бог отступи от мене, и не услыша мене ктому ни в руках пророческих, ни во снех, ни во явлениих: и ныне призвах тя, да скажеши ми, что сотворю.
16 “Why come and ask me when the Lord has abandoned you and has become your enemy?” Samuel asked.
И рече Самуил: почто вопрошаеши мя, а Господь отступи от тебе и бысть со ближним твоим?
17 “The Lord has done to you exactly what he said through me, for Lord has ripped the kingdom from you and has given it to your neighbor, David.
И сотвори Господь тебе, якоже глагола Господь рукою моею, и исторгнет Господь царство твое из руку твоею и вдаст е ближнему твоему Давиду,
18 The Lord has done this to you today because you did not do what the Lord commanded and you did not execute his furious anger on the Amalekites.
понеже не послушал еси гласа Господня и не исполнил еси гнева ярости Его на Амалике, глагола ради того сотвори тебе Господь в день сей:
19 The Lord will hand over Israel and you yourself to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will die and be with me. The Lord will also hand over the Israelite army of Israel to the Philistines.”
и предаст Господь Израиля с тобою в руки иноплеменничи, и заутра ты и сынове твои падут с тобою, и полк Израилев предаст Господь в руки иноплеменничи.
20 Saul collapsed face down on the ground, terrified at what Samuel had said. He had no strength, because he hadn't eaten anything all that day and night.
И потщася Саул, и паде стоящь на землю, и убояся зело от словес Самуиловых, и не бысть ктому крепости в нем: яко не яде хлеба во весь день той и во всю нощь ту.
21 The woman came over to Saul and saw that he was absolutely terrified. She told him, “Look, sir, I did what you asked. I risked my life and did what you told me.
И вниде жена к Саулу, и виде его, яко смятеся зело, и рече к нему: се, ныне послуша раба твоя гласа твоего, и положих душу мою в руце мои, и послушах словес, яже ми глаголал еси:
22 Now please do what I tell you. Let me bring you a little bit of food. Eat it, and you'll have the strength to go on your way.”
и ныне послушай гласа рабы твоея, и положу пред тобою укрух хлеба, и яждь, и будет в тебе крепость, яко идеши в путь.
23 But he refused, saying, “I can't eat anything.” But his men and the woman encouraged him to eat, and he did what they said. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
И не хотяше ясти: и понудиша его отроцы его и жена, и послуша гласа их, и воста от земли, и седе на седалищи.
24 The woman had a fattened calf at the house, and she quickly went and slaughtered it. She also got some flour, kneaded it, and baked some unleavened bread.
Жене же бяше юница питомая в дому: и потщася, и закла ю: и взя муку и смеси, и испече опресноки,
25 She served the meal to Saul and his men, and they ate it. Then they got up and left, the same night.
и принесе пред Саула и пред отроки его: и ядоша, и восташа и отидоша в нощь ону.
