1 Samuel 14
1 One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
И бысть во един день, и рече Ионафан сын Саулов отрочищу носящему оружие его: гряди, и прейдем в мессаву иноплеменников иже на оней стране. И отцу своему не возвести сего.
2 On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
И Саул седяше на верху холма под древом яблонным еже в Магдоне, и бяше с ним яко шесть сот мужей.
3 Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
И Ахиа сын Ахитов, брата Иохаведова, сына Финеесова, сына Илии, иерей Божий в Силоме нося ефуд: и людие не ведяху, яко отиде Ионафан.
4 Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
Посреде же прехода, идеже хотяше Ионафан прейти в стан иноплеменничь, бысть камень острый отсюду и камень острый отюнуду: имя единому Васес и другому Сенна:
5 One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
камень един стояше от севера противу Махмаса, и камень вторый от юга противу Гаваи.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
И рече Ионафан ко отрочищу носящему оружие его: гряди, прейдем в мессаву необрезанных сих, негли что сотворит нам Господь, яко несть Господу не удобно спасти во многих или в малых.
7 The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
И рече ему носяй оружие его: твори все, на неже сердце твое склоняется: се, аз с тобою есмь, якоже сердце твое сердце мое.
8 Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
И рече Ионафан: се, мы прейдем к мужем и явимся к ним:
9 If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
аще сия рекут к нам: помедлите тамо, дондеже возвестим вам: то постоим сами на месте своем и не пойдем к ним:
10 But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
аще же к нам сице рекут: взыдите к нам: то взыдем, яко предаде их Господь в руки нашя: сие нам знамение (да будет).
11 When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
И внидоста оба в мессаву иноплеменников. И глаголаша иноплеменницы: се, Еврее исходят из разселин своих, идеже скрышася.
12 Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
И отвещаша мужие мессавли ко Ионафану и к носящему оружие его, и реша: взыдите к нам, и явим вам глагол. И рече Ионафан к носящему оружие его: гряди по мне, яко предаде их Господь в руки Израилевы.
13 So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
И взыде Ионафан (ползущь) на руках и на ногах своих, и носяй оружие его за ним. И узреша иноплеменницы лице Ионафане, и порази их: и носяй оружие его идяше вслед его.
14 In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
И бысть язва первая, еюже порази Ионафан и носяй оружие его, яко двадесять мужей копийцами и каменовержением и кремением полевым.
15 Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
И бысть ужас в полце и на селе: и вси людие иже в мессаве и губящии ужаснушася, и тии не хотяху братися: и вострепета земля, и бысть ужас от Господа.
16 Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
И видеша соглядатае Сауловы в Гаваи Вениамини, и се, полк смятеся семо и онамо.
17 Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
И рече Саул людем сущым с ним: разсмотрите ныне и видите, кто отиде от вас. И разсмотриша, и се, не обретеся Ионафан и носяй оружие его.
18 So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
И рече Саул ко Ахии: принеси ефуд, яко бе кивот Божий в той день с сынми Израилевыми.
19 But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
И бысть егда глаголаше Саул ко иерею, и шум в полце иноплеменничи ходя идяше и множашеся. И рече Саул ко иерею: пригни руки твоя.
20 Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
И изыде Саул и вси людие иже с ним, и изыдоша до сечи. И се, бысть оружие коегождо на ближняго своего, (и бысть) мятеж велик зело.
21 Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
Но и раби, иже быша со иноплеменники вчера и третияго дне, вшедшии в полк, обратишася и тии еже быти им со Израилтяны сущими с Саулом и со Ионафаном.
22 Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
И вси Израилтяне скрывшиися в горе Ефремли услышаша, яко отбегоша иноплеменницы: приложишася и тии вслед их на брань.
23 So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
И спасе Господь в той день Израиля: брань же пройде даже до Вамофа: и вси людие бяху с Саулом, яко десять тысящ мужей, и бе брань разсыпана во весь град на горе Ефремли.
24 Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
И Саул сотвори безумие велие в день той, и закля люди, глаголя: проклят человек, иже ясти будет хлеб даже до вечера, дондеже отмщу врагом моим. И не вкусиша людие вси хлеба:
25 The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
и вся земля обедаше: и се, бяше дубрава пчелная пред лицем села:
26 They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
и внидоша людие во пчелник, и се, исхождаху глаголюще: (яко истече мед, ) и не бе возвращающаго руки своея ко устом своим, яко убояшася людие клятвы Господни.
27 But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
Ионафан же не слышаше, егда заклинаше отец его люди: и простре конец жезла своего, иже в руку ему, и омочи его в соте медвене, и обрати руку свою во уста своя, и прозреша очи его.
28 But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
И рече един от людий, глаголя: кленый прокля отец твой люди, глаголя: проклят человек, иже ясти будет хлеб в день сей: и изнемогоша людие.
29 Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
И уразуме Ионафан и рече: смути отец мой землю: виждь, яко прозреша очи мои, егда вкусих мало от меда сего:
30 If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
о, дабы яли ядуще днесь людие от корыстей врагов своих, ихже обретоша, множайшая бы днесь язва была во иноплеменницех.
31 The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
И поразиша в день той от иноплеменников множае нежели в Махмасе: и утрудишася людие зело.
32 They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
И устремишася людие на корысти, и пояша людие стада и буйволы и говяда: и закалаху на земли, и ядоша людие с кровию.
33 One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: согрешиша людие ко Господу, ядуще с кровию. И рече Саул: от гефема привалите мне семо камень велий.
34 After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
И рече Саул: шедше к людем рцыте им: да принесет кийждо семо телца своего и кийждо овцу свою, и да заколют на камени сем, и ядите я, и не согрешайте Господу ядуще с кровию. И приведоша нощию вси людие свое кийждо, еже имяше в руце своей, и закалаху тамо.
35 That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
И созда Саул тамо олтарь Господу: сей нача Саул созидати олтарь Господу.
36 Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
И рече Саул: снидем вслед иноплеменник нощию, и расхитим их, дондеже заря будет, и не оставим от них мужа. И реша: все еже благо пред очима твоима, твори. И рече иерей: приступим семо к Богу.
37 So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
И вопроси Саул Бога: сниду ли вслед иноплеменников? Предаси ли их в руки Израилтяном? И не отвеща ему Господь в день той.
38 Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
И рече Саул: приведите семо вся колена Израилева, и уразумейте и увеждьте, на ком бысть грех сей днесь,
39 Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
яко жив Господь спасый Израиля, яко аще ответ будет на Ионафана сына моего, смертию да умрет. И не бе отвещающаго от всех людий.
40 Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
И рече Саул всему Израилю: вы станите на едину страну, аз же и Ионафан сын мой станем на другую страну. И реша людие к Саулу: еже благо пред тобою, твори.
41 Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
И рече Саул: Господи Боже Израилев, что яко не отвещал еси рабу Твоему днесь? Или моя есть, или сына моего Ионафана неправда? Господи Боже Израилев, даждь знамение: и аще речеши сия, даждь ныне людем Твоим Израилю, даждь ныне преподобие. И паде жребий на Ионафана и Саула, и людие изыдоша.
42 Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
И рече Саул: верзите жребий на мя и на Ионафана сына моего: егоже объявит Господь, смертию да умрет. И реша людие к Саулу: несть сей глагол. И преможе Саул люди, и вергоша о нем и Ионафане сыне его, и паде на Ионафана жребий.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
И рече Саул ко Ионафану: возвести ми, что сотворил еси? И возвести ему Ионафан и рече: вкушая вкусих мало меду омочив конец жезла, иже в руку моею, и се, аз умираю.
44 Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
И рече ему Саул: сия да сотворит ми Бог, и сия да приложит ми, яко смертию умреши днесь.
45 But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
И реша людие к Саулу: еда днесь умрет сотворивый спасение сие велие во Израили? Не буди то, жив Господь, аще падет влас главы его на землю, яко милость Божию сотвори в день сей. И помолишася людие о Ионафане в день той, и не умре.
46 Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
И не иде Саул вслед иноплеменников: иноплеменницы же отидоша в место свое.
47 After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
И Саул укрепися царствовати во Израили, и побеждаше окрест вся враги своя в Моаве и в сынех Аммоних и в сынех Едомлих и в Вефоре и в царствии Сувани и во иноплеменницех: и аможе аще обращашеся, спасашеся.
48 Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
И сотвори силу, и победи Амалика, и избави Израиля из руки попирающих его.
49 Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
И беша сынове Сауловы Ионафан и Иисуй и Мелхисуе: имена же двою дщерию его, имя первородней Мерова и имя вторей Мелхола:
50 Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
имя же жене его Ахиноома, дщерь Ахимаасова: и имя старейшине вой его Авенир сын Нира сына ужика Саулова:
51 Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
Кис же отец Саулов, и Нир отец Авениров сын иамина сына Авиилева.
52 All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
И бе брань крепка на иноплеменники во вся дни Сауловы: и видев Саул всяка мужа сильна и всяка мужа сына силы, собираше их к себе.
