Первая книга Царств 10
1 И взя Самуил сосуд с елеем, и возлия на главу его, и лобыза его, и рече ему: не помаза ли тебе Господь на царство людем Своим иже во Израили? И ты царствовати будеши в людех Господних, и ты спасеши я от руки враг их окрест: и сие тебе знамение, яко помаза тя Господь над наследием Своим в князя:
And Samuel took a little vial of oil and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince.
2 егда отидеши днесь от мене, обрящеши два мужа при гробех Рахилиных в пределех Вениаминих в Силоме, в Вакалафе скачущих зелно, и рекут тебе: обретошася ослята, ихже ходисте искати: и се, отец твой отверже глагол о ослятех и зело печется вас ради, глаголя: что сотворю о сыне моем?
When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father thinking no more of the asses is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son?
3 И отидеши оттуду, и далее приидеши до дубравы Фавора, и обрящеши тамо три мужы восходящыя к Богу в Вефиль, единаго ведуща трое козлят, а другаго несуща три вретища хлебов, а третияго несуща мех вина:
And when thou shalt depart from thence, and go farther on, and shalt come to the oak of Thabor, there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine.
4 и вопросят тя яже о мире, и дадут ти два начатка хлебов, и возмеши от рук их:
And they will salute thee, and will give thee two loaves, and thou shalt take them at their hand.
5 и по сих да взыдеши на холм Божий, идеже есть собрание иноплеменник, тамо началницы иноплеменничи: и будет егда внидеши тамо во град, срящеши лик пророков исходящих от вамы, и пред ними свирели и тимпаны, и сопели и гусли, и тии прорицающии:
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city, thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place, with a psaltery and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they shall be prophesying.
6 и снидет на тя Дух Господень, и воспророчествуеши с ними, и обратишися в мужа иного:
And the spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be changed into another man.
7 и будет егда приидут знамения сия на тя, твори вся, елика обрящет рука твоя, яко Бог с тобою:
When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy hand shall find, for the Lord is with thee.
8 и снидеши прежде мене в Галгалы, и се, аз сниду к тебе вознести всесожжение и пожрети жертвы мирны: седмь дний пождеши, дондеже прииду к тебе, и покажу ти, что сотвориши.
And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee, ) that thou mayest offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, O till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do.
9 И бысть внегда отвратити ему плещы своя отити от Самуила, преложи ему Бог сердце на ино. И приидоша вся знамения сия в день он.
So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day.
10 И взыде оттуду на холм, и се, лик пророческий противу ему: и взыде нань Дух Божий, и прорицаше среде их.
And they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
11 И быша вси видевшии его вчера и третияго дне, и видеша, и се, той посреде пророк прорицаяй. И реша людие кийждо ко искреннему своему: что сие бывшее сыну Кисову? Еда и Саул во пророцех?
And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 И отвеща некто от них и рече: и кто отец ему? Не Кис ли? И сего ради бысть в притчу: еда и Саул во пророцех?
And one answered another, saying: And who is their father? therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 И сконча пророчествуя, и прииде оттуду на холм.
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 И рече ужик его к нему и ко отрочищу его: камо ходисте? И реша: ослят искати, и видехом, яко несть их, и внидохом к Самуилу.
And Saul’s uncle said to him, and to his servant: Whither went you? They answered: To seek the asses: and not finding them we went to Samuel.
15 И рече ужик к Саулу: возвести ми ныне, что ти рече Самуил?
And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee.
16 И рече Саул ужику своему: вестию возвести ми, яко обретошася ослята. Словесе же о царстве не возвести ему, еже рече Самуил.
And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not.
17 И заповеда Самуил всем людем приити ко Господу в Массифаф.
And Samuel called together the people to the Lord in Maspha:
18 И рече Самуил к сыном Израилевым: сия рече Господь Бог Израилев, глаголя: Аз изведох отцы вашя сыны Израилевы из Египта, и изях вы от руки фараона царя Египетскаго и от всех царств оскорбляющих вы:
And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you.
19 и вы днесь уничижисте Бога вашего, Иже Сам есть спасаяй вы от всех зол ваших и скорбей ваших, и ресте: ни, но царя да поставиши над нами: и ныне станите пред Господем по хоругвам вашым и по племенем вашым и по тысящам вашым.
But you this day have rejected your God, who only hath saved you out of all your evils and your tribulations: and you have said: Nay: but set a king over us. Now therefore stand before the Lord by your tribes, and by your families.
20 И приведе Самуил вся колена Израилева, и паде жребий на хоругвь Вениаминю.
And Samuel brought to him all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell on the tribe of Benjamin.
21 И приведе хоругвь Вениаминю по племенам, и паде жребий на племя Маттариино: и приведоша племя Маттариино по мужем, и паде жребий на Саула сына Кисова: и искаху его, и не обреташеся.
And he brought the tribe of Benjamin and the kindreds thereof, and the lot fell Upon the kindred of Metri, and it came to Saul the son of Cis. They sought him therefore and he was not found.
22 И вопроси Самуил еще Господа, глаголя: аще приидет семо муж еще? И рече Господь: се, той сокрыся в сосудех.
And after this they consulted the Lord whether he would come thither. And the Lord answered: Behold he is hidden at home.
23 И тече Самуил, и взя его оттуду, и постави его посреде людий: и бысть вышше всех людий, от рамен и вышше.
And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward.
24 И рече Самуил ко всем людем: видесте ли, егоже избра себе Господь, яко несть подобен ему во всех вас? И познаша вси людие и реша: да живет царь.
And Samuel said to all the people: Surely you see him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people. And all the people cried and said: God save the king.
25 И рече Самуил к людем оправдания царствия, и написа в книзе, и положи пред Господем.
And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house.
26 И отпусти Самуил вся люди, и идоша кийждо во своя си, и Саул иде в дом свой в Гаваю: и идоша с ним сынове сил, ихже коснеся Господь сердец их, с Саулом.
Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Сынове же погибелнии реша: кто спасет нас, сей ли? И безчествоваша его, и не принесоша ему даров.
But the children of Belial said: Shall this fellow be able to save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents, but he dissembled as though he heard not.
