Первая книга Царств 11
1 И бысть аки по месяце, и взыде Наас Аманитянин, и ополчися на Иавис Галаадский. И реша вси мужие Иависстии к Наасу аманитянину: положи нам завет, и поработаем ти.
And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.
2 И рече к ним Наас Аманитянин: сей завет положу вам, изверчу комуждо вас око десное, и положу поношение на Израиля.
Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
3 И реша ему мужие Иависа Галаадскаго: остави нам седмь дний, да послем вестники во вся пределы Израилевы: и аще не будет спасающаго нас, изыдем к вам.
And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
4 И приидоша вестницы в Гаваю к Саулу и поведаша словеса сия во ушы людий: и воздвигоша вси людие глас свой и плакашася.
And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 И се, Саул прииде по заутрии от села, и рече Саул: что яко плачут людие? И поведаша ему глаголы мужей Иависских.
And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
6 И сниде Дух Господень на Саула, егда услыша словеса сия, и разгневася на них зело:
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.
7 и взя две кравы, и раздроби я на уды, и посла во вся пределы Израилевы руками вестников, глаголя: иже не будет идый вслед Саула и вслед Самуила, по сему сотворят говядом его. И сниде ужас Господень на Израилтян, и изыдоша яко един муж.
And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
8 И сочте их в Везеце, в ваме, и бысть всех мужей Израилтеских шесть сот тысящ, и мужей Иудиных седмьдесят тысящ.
And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.
9 И рече вестником пришедшым: сия поведите мужем Иависа Галаадскаго: заутра будет вам спасение восходящу солнцу. И приидоша вестницы во град и возвестиша мужем Иависским: и возрадовашася,
And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall you say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow you shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
10 и реша мужие Иависстии к Наасу аманитянину: утро изыдем к вам, и сотворите нам, еже благо пред очима вашима.
And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and you shall do to us what seems good in your sight.
11 И бысть по заутрии, и Саул раздели люди на три начала: и внидоша посреде полка в стражу утреннюю, и бияху сынов Аммонитских, дондеже разогреся день: и бысть, и оставшиися разбегошася, и не осташася ни два от них вкупе.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they struck the children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two together.
12 И реша людие к Самуилу: кто есть рекий, яко да Саул не воцарится над нами? Предаждь мужей, и избием их.
And the people said to Samuel, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.
13 И рече Саул: да не умрет ни един в днешний день, яко днесь сотвори Господь спасение во Израили.
And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for today the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
14 И рече Самуил к людем, глаголя: приидите да идем в Галгалы и обновим тамо царство.
And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
15 И идоша вси людие в Галгалы, и помаза тамо Самуил Саула на царство пред Господем в Галгалех. И пожроша тамо жертвы и мирная пред Господем, и возвеселися тамо Саул и вси мужие Израилевы зело.
And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
