1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.
И бысть аки по месяце, и взыде Наас Аманитянин, и ополчися на Иавис Галаадский. И реша вси мужие Иависстии к Наасу аманитянину: положи нам завет, и поработаем ти.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach on all Israel.
И рече к ним Наас Аманитянин: сей завет положу вам, изверчу комуждо вас око десное, и положу поношение на Израиля.
3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to you.
И реша ему мужие Иависа Галаадскаго: остави нам седмь дний, да послем вестники во вся пределы Израилевы: и аще не будет спасающаго нас, изыдем к вам.
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
И приидоша вестницы в Гаваю к Саулу и поведаша словеса сия во ушы людий: и воздвигоша вси людие глас свой и плакашася.
5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What ails the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
И се, Саул прииде по заутрии от села, и рече Саул: что яко плачут людие? И поведаша ему глаголы мужей Иависских.
6 And the Spirit of God came on Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
И сниде Дух Господень на Саула, егда услыша словеса сия, и разгневася на них зело:
7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whoever comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
и взя две кравы, и раздроби я на уды, и посла во вся пределы Израилевы руками вестников, глаголя: иже не будет идый вслед Саула и вслед Самуила, по сему сотворят говядом его. И сниде ужас Господень на Израилтян, и изыдоша яко един муж.
8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
И сочте их в Везеце, в ваме, и бысть всех мужей Израилтеских шесть сот тысящ, и мужей Иудиных седмьдесят тысящ.
9 And they said to the messengers that came, Thus shall you say to the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, you shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
И рече вестником пришедшым: сия поведите мужем Иависа Галаадскаго: заутра будет вам спасение восходящу солнцу. И приидоша вестницы во град и возвестиша мужем Иависским: и возрадовашася,
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.
и реша мужие Иависстии к Наасу аманитянину: утро изыдем к вам, и сотворите нам, еже благо пред очима вашима.
11 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
И бысть по заутрии, и Саул раздели люди на три начала: и внидоша посреде полка в стражу утреннюю, и бияху сынов Аммонитских, дондеже разогреся день: и бысть, и оставшиися разбегошася, и не осташася ни два от них вкупе.
12 And the people said to Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
И реша людие к Самуилу: кто есть рекий, яко да Саул не воцарится над нами? Предаждь мужей, и избием их.
13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD has worked salvation in Israel.
И рече Саул: да не умрет ни един в днешний день, яко днесь сотвори Господь спасение во Израили.
14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
И рече Самуил к людем, глаголя: приидите да идем в Галгалы и обновим тамо царство.
15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
И идоша вси людие в Галгалы, и помаза тамо Самуил Саула на царство пред Господем в Галгалех. И пожроша тамо жертвы и мирная пред Господем, и возвеселися тамо Саул и вси мужие Израилевы зело.
