1 Samuel 15
1 [One day] Samuel said to Saul, “Yahweh sent me to appoint you to be the king of the Israeli people. So now listen to this message from Yahweh:
И рече Самуил к Саулу: посла мя Господь помазати тя на царство в людех Его во Израили: и ныне послушай гласа словес Господних:
2 Yahweh, [the commander] of the armies [of angels] has declared this: ‘I am going to punish [the descendants of] Amalek for [attacking] the Israeli people after the Israelis left Egypt.
сия рече Господь Саваоф: ныне отмщу, яже сотвори Амалик Израилю, егда срете его на пути, восходящу ему от Египта:
3 So now go [with your army] and attack the Amalek people-group. Destroy them completely—destroy them and everything that belongs to them—the men and women, their children and infants, their cattle and sheep and camels and donkeys. Do not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive)!’”
и ныне ты иди, и поразиши Амалика и Иерима, и вся яже суть его, и не снабдиши от них (ничтоже), и искорениши его: и прокленеши его и вся сущая его, и не пощадиши его: и да убиеши от мужеска полу и до женска и от юнош и до ссущих млеко, и от говяд до овец и от велблюд до ослят.
4 So Saul summoned the army, and they gathered at Telaim [town]. There were 200,000 soldiers. 10,000 of them were from Judah, [and the others were from the other Israeli tribes].
И собра люди Саул и сочте я в Галгалех двесте тысящ пеших и десять тысящ от Иуды в полцех:
5 Then Saul went [with his army] to a town where some of the Amalek people-group lived. [His army prepared to attack them suddenly by] hiding in the valley.
и прииде Саул до градов Амаликовых и засяде в потоце.
6 Then Saul sent this message to the Ken people-group [who lived in that area]: “You acted kindly toward all our Israeli [ancestors] when they left Egypt. But we are going to kill all of the Amalek people-group, [because they opposed/attacked our ancestors]. So move away from where the Amalek people-group live. [If you do not move away], you will be killed when they are killed.” So [when] the Ken people-group [heard that, they immediately] left that area.
И рече Саул ко Кинеови: иди и уклонися от среды Амалика, да не погублю тя с ним, ты бо сотворил еси милость с сынми Израилевыми, егда исхождаху из Египта. И уклонися Киней от среды Амалика.
7 Then Saul’s [army] slaughtered the Amalek people-group, from Havilah [town in the east] to Shur [town in the west]. Shur was at the border [between Israel and] Egypt.
И порази Саул Амалика от Евилы даже до Сура, иже пред лицем Египта:
8 Saul’s army captured Agag, the king of the Amalek people-group, but they killed everyone else.
и ят Агага царя Амаликова жива, и вся люди изби, и Иерима уби мечем.
9 They not only (spared/did not kill) Agag, but they also took the best sheep and goats and cattle. They took everything that was good. They destroyed only the animals that they considered to be worthless.
И сохрани Саул и вси людие Агага царя жива и благая от стад и буйволов, и снедей (и одежд), и виноградов и от всех благих: и не хотяху искоренити я, точию хуждшее и уничиженое истребиша.
10 Then Yahweh said to Samuel,
И бысть глаголгол Господень к Самуилу, глаголя:
11 “I am sorry that I appointed Saul to be your king, because he has turned away from me and has not obeyed what I commanded him to do.” Samuel was very disturbed/upset [when he heard that], and he cried out to Yahweh all that night.
раскаяхся, яко помазах Саула на царство, понеже отвратися от Мене и словес Моих не соблюде. И опечалися Самуил и вопияше ко Господу всю нощь.
12 Early the next morning, Samuel got up and went to talk with Saul. But someone told Samuel, “Saul went to Camel [city], where he has set up a monument to honor himself. Now he has left there and gone down to Gilgal.”
И воста рано Самуил, и идяше на сретение Израилтяном рано. И возвестиша Самуилу, глаголюще: идет Саул в Кармил, и се, воздвиже руку себе, и возврати колесницу, и сниде в Галгалы. И прииде Самуил к Саулу, и се, той возношаше всесожжение Господу, первая от корыстей, ихже взя от Амаликов.
13 When Samuel arrived [at Gilgal] he approached Saul, and Saul said to him, “I wish/desire that Yahweh will bless you! I have obeyed what Yahweh told me to do.”
И прииде Самуил к Саулу, и рече ему Саул: благословен ты Господу, сотворих бо вся, елика (ми) глагола Господь.
14 But Samuel replied, “If that is true, why is it that I hear cattle mooing and I hear sheep bleating?”
И рече Самуил: и кий глас стад сих во ушию моею, и глас говяд, егоже аз слышу?
15 Saul replied, “The soldiers took them from the Amalek people-group. They saved the best sheep and cattle, in order to offer them as sacrifices to Yahweh, your God. But we have completely destroyed all the others.”
И рече Саул: от Амалика пригнах я, ихже сохраниша людие лучшая от стад и от волов, еже пожрети я Господу Богу твоему, прочая же избих.
16 Samuel said to Saul, “Stop [talking]! Allow me to tell you what Yahweh said to me last night.” Saul replied, “Tell me [what he said].”
И рече Самуил к Саулу: потерпи, и возвещу ти, яже глагола Господь ко мне нощию.
17 Samuel said, “Previously you did not think that you were important. But now you have become [RHQ] the leader of the tribes of Israel. Yahweh appointed you to be their king.
И рече ему (Саул): глаголи. И рече Самуил к Саулу: еда не мал был еси ты пред Ним, и не властелина ли тя постави хоругви колена Израилева? И помаза тя Господь на царство Израилево:
18 And Yahweh sent you to do something [for him]. He said to you, ‘Go and get rid of all those sinful people, the Amalek people-group. Attack them and kill all of them.’
и посла тя Господь путем и рече тебе: иди и искорени Амалика, и погуби согрешших предо Мною, и воюй их, дондеже скончаеши их:
19 So why did you not obey Yahweh [RHQ]? Why did your men take the best animals [RHQ]? Why did you do what Yahweh said was evil?” [RHQ]
и почто не послушал еси гласа Господня по всему, елико глагола тебе, но устремился еси на корысти и сотворил еси лукавое пред Господем?
20 Saul replied to Samuel, “Hey, I did what Yahweh sent me to do! I brought back King Agag, but we killed everyone else!
И рече Саул к Самуилу: послушах гласа людий и идох путем, имже посла мя Господь, и приведох Агага царя Амаликова, и Амалики искорених:
21 My men brought back only the best sheep and cattle and other things, in order to sacrifice them to Yahweh your God here at Gilgal.”
и взяша людие корысти от стад и буйволы, первая от истребляемых на пожрение Господу Богу нашему в Галгалех.
22 But Samuel replied, “Which [do you think] pleases Yahweh more, animals that are completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices, or people obeying him [SYN]? It is better to obey [Yahweh] than [to offer] sacrifices [to him]. It is better to pay attention to what he says than [to burn] the fat of rams, [even though God said they should be sacrificed to him].
И рече Самуил: еда угодны Господу всесожжения и жертвы, якоже послушати гласа Господня? Се, послушание паче жертвы благи, и покорение паче тука овня:
23 To rebel [against God] is as sinful as doing sorcery/black magic, and being stubborn is as sinful as worshiping idols. So, because you disobeyed what Yahweh told you to do, he has declared that you will no longer be king.”
якоже грех есть чарование, тако (грех есть) противление, и якоже грех есть идолопоклонение, тако непокорение: понеже уничижил еси глаголгол Господень, и уничижит тя Господь не быти тебе царем во Израили.
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “[Yes], I have sinned. I disobeyed what you told me to do, which is what Yahweh commanded. I did that because I was (afraid of/worried about) what my men would say [if I did not do what they wanted]. So I did what they demanded.
И рече Саул к Самуилу: согреших, яко преступих слово Господне и глагол твой, убояхся бо людий и послушах гласа их:
25 But now, please forgive me for having sinned. And come back with me [to where the people are] in order that I may worship Yahweh.”
и ныне возми грех мой и возвратися со мною, да поклонюся Господу Богу твоему.
26 But Samuel replied, “No, I will not go back with you. You have rejected/disobeyed what Yahweh commanded you to do. So he has rejected you, [and declared that you will no longer] be the king of Israel. [So I do not want to talk any more with you].”
И рече Самуил к Саулу: не возвращуся с тобою, яко уничижил еси глаголгол Господень, и уничижит тя Господь не быти тебе царем во Израили.
27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul tried to stop him by grabbing the edge of Samuel’s robe, and it tore.
И отврати Самуил лице свое еже отити: и ят Саул за воскрилие ризы его и раздра е.
28 Samuel said to him, “[You tore my robe! And] today Yahweh has torn away from you the kingdom of Israel! He will appoint someone else to be king, someone who is a better man than you are.
И рече ему Самуил: раздра Господь царство Израилево от руку твоею днесь, и даст е ближнему твоему, лучшему паче тебе,
29 And since the one who is the glorious [God] of the Israeli people does not lie, he will not change (his mind/what he has said). Humans sometimes change their minds, but God does not do that, because he is not a human.”
и разделится Израиль на двое: и не обратится, ниже раскается Святый Израилев, занеже не яко человек есть, еже раскаятися Ему, запретит, и не пребудет.
30 Then Saul [pleaded again. He] said, “I know that I have sinned. But please honor me in front of the leaders of the Israeli people and in front of all the other Israeli people by coming back [to them] with me in order that I may worship Yahweh your God.”
И рече Саул: согреших, но прослави мя ныне пред старейшины Израилевы и пред людьми моими, и возвратися со мною, и поклонюся Господу Богу твоему.
31 So Samuel finally agreed to do that, and they went together back [to where the people were], and Saul worshiped Yahweh there.
И возвратися Самуил вслед Саула, и поклонися Саул Господу.
32 Then Samuel said, “Bring King Agag to me.” So they brought Agag to him. Agag was confidently expecting that they would spare him/not kill him. He was thinking, “Surely I will not have to endure an agonizing death!”
И рече Самуил: приведите ми Агага царя Амаликова. И прииде к нему Агаг трепеща, и рече Агаг: тако ли горька смерть?
33 But Samuel said to him, “You have killed the sons of many women with your sword, so now your mother will no longer have a son.” And Samuel cut Agag into pieces [with his sword], there at Gilgal, in the presence of Yahweh.
И рече Самуил ко агагу: якоже обезчадствова жен оружие твое, тако обезчадится в женах мати твоя. И закла Самуил Агага пред Господем в Галгалех.
34 Then Samuel left there and returned to his home in Ramah, and Saul went to his home in Gibeah.
И отиде Самуил во Армафем: и Саул отиде в дом свой в Гаваю.
35 Samuel never saw Saul again, but he was very sad about [what] Saul [had done]. And Yahweh was very sorry that he had appointed Saul to be the king of Israel.
И не приложи Самуил ктому видети Саула даже до дне смерти своея, понеже плакаше Самуил о Сауле, занеже раскаяся Господь, яко постави Саула царя во Израили.
