< 1 Samuel 27 >

1 David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by Saul's hand; there is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines; Saul will give up looking for me any more within all the borders of Israel; in this way I will escape out of his hand.”
И рече Давид в сердцы своем, глаголя: ныне впаду в день един в руки Саули, и не будет ми благо, аще не спасуся в земли иноплеменничи, и престанет Саул искати мене во всяком пределе Израилеве, и спасуся из руки его.
2 David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish son of Maok, the king of Gath.
И воста Давид и шесть сот мужей иже с ним, и иде ко Агхусу сыну Аммахову царю Гефску.
3 David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his own household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite woman, and Abigail the Carmelite woman, Nabal's wife.
И пребысть Давид у Агхуса в Гефе, сам и мужие его вси и дом его, и Давид и обе жены его, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня и Авигеа жена Навала Кармилскаго.
4 Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he looked for him no longer.
И возвестиша Саулу, яко отбеже Давид в Геф, и не приложи ктому (Саул) искати его.
5 David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
И рече Давид ко Агхусу: аще обрете раб твой благодать пред очима твоима, да даси ми место во единем от градов иже на селе, и сяду тамо: и вскую седит раб твой во граде царственнем с тобою?
6 So that day Achish gave him Ziklag; that is why Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this very day.
И даде ему Агхус в день той Секелаг: сего ради бысть царю Иудейску Секелаг до днешняго дне.
7 The number of days that David lived in the land of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
И бысть число дний, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи, четыри месяцы.
8 David and his men attacked various places, making raids on the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those nations were the inhabitants of the land, as you go to Shur, as far as the land of Egypt. They had been living there in the land from ancient times.
И восхождаше Давид и мужие его и нападаху на всякаго Гессера и на Амаликита, и се, земля населяшеся от Ламсура и до земли Египетския:
9 David attacked the land and saved neither man nor woman alive; he took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing; he would return and come again to Achish.
и поражаше Давид землю, и не оставляше в живых мужеска полу и женска: и взимаху стада, и буйволицы и ослята, и велблюды и ризы, и возвращающеся прихождаху ко Агхусу.
10 Achish would say, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David would answer, “Against the south of Judah,” or “Against the south of the Jerahmeelites,” or “Against the south of the Kenites.”
И рече Агхус к Давиду: на кого нападосте ныне? И рече Давид ко Агхусу: к югу Иудеи и к югу Иесмеги и к югу Кенезиа:
11 David would keep neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “So that they cannot say about us, 'David did such and such.'” This was what he did all the while he was living in the country of the Philistines.
и мужеска полу и женска не оставлях в живых еже вводити в Геф, глаголя: да не возвестят в Гефе на нас, глаголюще: сия творит Давид. И сие оправдание его во вся дни, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи.
12 Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; he will therefore be my servant forever.”
И уверися Давид Агхусу зело, глаголя: омерзением омерзе в людех своих во Израили, и будет ми раб во веки.
