1 Samuel 9
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
И бе муж от сынов Вениаминовых, емуже имя Кис, сын Авиилов, сына Иаредова, сына Вахирова, сына Афекова, сына мужа Иеминеова, муж силен крепостию.
2 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
И сему бе сын, имя ему Саул, добровеличен, муж благ: и не бе в сынех Израилевых благ паче его, от рамен и выше высок паче всех людий.
3 And the asses of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go seek the asses.
И заблудиша ослята Киса отца Саулова. И рече Кис к Саулу сыну своему: возми с собою единаго от отрок, и воставше идите и поищите ослят.
4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
И проидоша гору Ефремлю, и проидоша землю Селха, и не обретоша: и проидоша землю Сегалимлю, и не бе: и проидоша землю Иаминю, и не обретоша.
5 And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
И пришедшым им в землю Сифову, и рече Саул ко отроку своему иже с ним: гряди и возвратимся, да не како отец мой оставя ослята, печется о нас.
6 And he said to him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says comes surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way that we should go.
И рече ему отрок: се, зде человек Божий во граде сем, и человек славен: все еже аще речет приходящым к нему, будет им: и ныне пойдем тамо, да возвестит нам путь наш, имже пойдем.
7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
И рече Саул отроку своему иже с ним: се, пойдем, и что принесем к человеку Божию? Яко хлебы оскудеша от вретищ наших, и ктому несть у нас, еже внести к человеку Божию от имения нашего.
8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
И приложи отрок отвещати Саулу и рече: се, обретается в руце моей четвертая часть сикля сребра, и даси человеку Божию, и возвестит нам путь наш.
9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
Прежде бо во Израили сице глаголаше кийждо, егда кто идяше вопрошати Бога: гряди, да идем к прозорливцу: яко пророка нарицаху людие прежде прозорливцем.
10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.
И рече Саул отроку своему: добр глагол твой: гряди, да идем. И идоша во град, идеже бе человек Божий.
11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?
Восходящым же им на восход града, и се, обретоша девиц изшедших почерпсти воды, и реша им: есть ли зде прозорливец?
12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
И отвещаша им девицы, глаголющя: есть, се пред лицем вашим: ныне же потщитеся, яко дне ради грядет во град, яко жертва днесь людем в ваме:
13 As soon as you be come into the city, you shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he does bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time you shall find him.
и егда внидете во град, тако обрящете его во граде, прежде неже взыти ему в ваму ясти: яко не имут ясти людие, дондеже внидет сей, яко той благословит жертву, и по сих ядят страннии: и ныне взыдите, яко дне ради обрящете его.
14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
И взыдоша во град. Имже входящым среди града, и се, Самуил изыде во сретение им, еже взыти в ваму.
15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
И Господь откры во ухо Самуилу днем единым прежде пришествия к нему Сауля, глаголя:
16 To morrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked on my people, because their cry is come to me.
якоже время сие, утро послю к тебе мужа от племене Вениаминова, и да помажеши его царя над людьми Моими Израилем, и спасет люди Моя от руки иноплеменничи: яко призрех на смирение людий Моих, яко взыде вопль их ко Мне.
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, Behold the man whom I spoke to you of! this same shall reign over my people.
И виде Самуил Саула, и Господь рече к нему: се, человек, о немже рекох ти: сей будет в людех Моих царствовати.
18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray you, where the seer’s house is.
И приближися Саул к Самуилу посреде града и рече: возвести ми, который дом прозорливца.
19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me to the high place; for you shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
И отвеща Самуил Саулу и рече: аз сам есмь: взыди предо мною в ваму, и яждь со мною днесь, и отпущу тя заутра, и вся яже в сердцы твоем возвещу ти:
20 And as for your asses that were lost three days ago, set not your mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you, and on all your father’s house?
и о ослятех твоих заблудивших днесь третий день, не помышляй в сердцы своем о них, ибо обретошася: и кому красная Израилева? Не тебе ли и дому отца твоего?
21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? why then speak you so to me?
И отвеща Саул и рече: не сын ли есмь аз мужа иеминеа, меншаго скиптра племене Израилева? И племене малейшаго от всего скиптра Вениаминова? И отечество мое меншее паче всех отечеств Вениаминовых? И вскую глаголал еси ко мне по глаголу сему?
22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlor, and made them sit in the most chief place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
И поят Самуил Саула и отрока его, и введе я во обиталище, и даде им тамо место в первых званых, яко в седмидесяти мужех.
23 And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.
И рече Самуил повару: даждь ми часть, юже дах ти, и о нейже рех ти положити ю у себе.
24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before you, and eat: for to this time has it been kept for you since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
И взя повар плече, и предложи е Саулови. И рече Самуил Саулу: се, избыток, предложи пред ся и яждь, яко во свидетелство предложися тебе паче иных, прикоснися. И яде Саул с Самуилом в той день.
25 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul on the top of the house.
И сниде от вамы во град, и постлаша Саулови на горнице, и спа.
26 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send you away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
И бысть егда приближашеся утро, и воззва Самуил Саула на горнице, и рече: востани, и отпущу тя. И воста Саул, и изыде сам и Самуил вон.
27 And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand you still a while, that I may show you the word of God.
Имже исходящым в часть града, и рече Самуил к Саулу: рцы юноши, да предидет пред нами: а ты стани якоже днесь, и слышан сотворю тебе глаголгол Божий.
