1 Samuel 30
1 It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
В третий день после того, как Давид и люди его пошли в Секелаг, Амаликитяне напали с юга на Секелаг и взяли Секелаг и сожгли его огнем,
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
а женщин и всех, бывших в нем, от малого до большого, не умертвили, но увели в плен, и ушли своим путем.
3 When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
И пришел Давид и люди его к городу, и вот, он сожжен огнем, а жены их и сыновья их и дочери их взяты в плен.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
И поднял Давид и народ, бывший с ним, вопль, и плакали, доколе не стало в них силы плакать.
5 David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Взяты были в плен и обе жены Давида: Ахиноама Изреелитянка и Авигея, бывшая жена Навала, Кармилитянка.
6 David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Давид сильно был смущен, так как народ хотел побить его камнями; ибо скорбел душею весь народ, каждый о сыновьях своих и дочерях своих.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
Но Давид укрепился надеждою на Господа Бога своего, и сказал Давид Авиафару священнику, сыну Ахимелехову: принеси мне ефод. И принес Авиафар ефод к Давиду.
8 David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
И вопросил Давид Господа, говоря: преследовать ли мне это полчище, и догоню ли их? И сказано ему: преследуй, догонишь и отнимешь.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
И пошел Давид сам и шестьсот мужей, бывших с ним; и пришли к потоку Восор и усталые остановились там.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
И преследовал Давид сам и четыреста человек; двести же человек остановились, потому что были не в силах перейти поток Восорский.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
И нашли Египтянина в поле, и привели его к Давиду, и дали ему хлеба, и он ел, и напоили его водою;
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
и дали ему часть связки смокв и две связки изюму, и он ел и укрепился, ибо он не ел хлеба и не пил воды три дня и три ночи.
13 David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
И сказал ему Давид: чей ты и откуда ты? И сказал он: я - отрок Египтянина, раб одного Амаликитянина, и бросил меня господин мой, ибо уже три дня, как я заболел;
14 We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
мы вторгались в полуденную часть Керети и в область Иудину и в полуденную часть Халева, а Секелаг сожгли огнем.
15 David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
И сказал ему Давид: доведешь ли меня до этого полчища? И сказал он: поклянись мне Богом, что ты не умертвишь меня и не предашь меня в руки господина моего, и я доведу тебя до этого полчища.
16 When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Давид поклялся ему, и он повел его; и вот, Амаликитяне, рассыпавшись по всей той стране, едят и пьют и празднуют по причине великой добычи, которую они взяли из земли Филистимской и из земли Иудейской.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
И напал на них и поражал их Давид от сумерек до вечера другого дня, и никто из них не спасся, кроме четырехсот юношей, которые сели на верблюдов и убежали.
18 He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
И отнял Давид все, что взяли Амаликитяне, и обеих жен своих отнял Давид.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
И не пропало у них ничего, ни малого, ни большого, ни из сыновей, ни из дочерей, ни из добычи, ни из всего, что Амаликитяне взяли у них; все возвратил Давид,
20 He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
и взял Давид весь мелкий и крупный скот, и гнали его пред своим скотом и говорили: это - добыча Давида.
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
И пришел Давид к тем двумьстам человек, которые не были в силах идти за ним, и которых он оставил у потока Восор, и вышли они навстречу Давиду и навстречу людям, бывшим с ним. И подошел Давид к этим людям и приветствовал их.
22 Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
Тогда злые и негодные из людей, ходивших с Давидом, стали говорить: за то, что они не ходили с нами, не дадим им из добычи, которую мы отняли; пусть каждый возьмет только свою жену и детей и идет.
23 Then David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
Но Давид сказал: не делайте так, братья мои, после того, как Господь дал нам это и сохранил нас и предал в руки наши полчище, приходившее против нас.
24 So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
И кто послушает вас в этом деле? Они не хуже нас. Какова часть ходившим на войну, такова часть должна быть и оставшимся при обозе: на всех должно разделить.
25 It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Так было с этого времени и после; и поставил он это в закон и в правило для Израиля до сего дня.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD."
И пришел Давид в Секелаг и послал из добычи к старейшинам Иудиным, друзьям своим, говоря: “вот вам подарок из добычи, взятой у врагов Господних”,
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
тем, которые в Вефиле, и в Рамофе южном, и в Иаттире, и в Гефоре,
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
и в Ароере, и в Аммаде, и в Шифмофе, и в Естемоа, и в Гефе,
29 and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
в Кинане, в Сафене, в Фимафе, и в Рахале, и в городах Иерахмеельских, и в городах Кенейских,
30 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
и в Хорме, и в Хорашане, и в Атахе,
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
и в Хевроне, и во всех местах, где ходил Давид сам и люди его.
