< Первая книга Царств 13 >
1 Сын единаго лета Саул, егда нача царствовати, и два лета царствова над Израилем.
Saul was [forty] years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
2 И избра себе Саул три тысящы мужей от мужей Израилевых, и быша с Саулом две тысящы в Махмасе и в горе Вефили, и тысяща беша со Ионафаном в Гаваи Вениаминове: и останок людий отпусти коегождо во своя селения.
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel, whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
3 И порази Ионафан насива иноплеменника иже в холме. И услышаша иноплеменницы, и Саул воструби трубою во всю землю, глаголя: отвергошася раби.
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 И слыша весь Израиль глаголющих, яко порази Саул насива иноплеменника, и омерзе Израиль во иноплеменницех. И собрашася людие вслед Саула в Галгалех.
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 И иноплеменницы собрашася на брань на Израиля: и приидоша на Израиля тридесять тысящ колесниц и шесть тысящ конник и множество людий, яко песок иже при мори: и шедше ополчишася в Махмасе противу Вефорону на юг.
And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
6 И видеша мужие Израилевы, яко не могоша противу стати, и скрышася людие в вертепех и в оградех и в камениих и в пропастех и во рвах:
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits.
7 и преходяще преидоша Иордан в землю Гадову и Галаадску. И Саул бяше еще в Галгалех, и вси людие ужасошася, иже бяху с ним.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 И ждаше седмь дний по свидетелству, якоже рече Самуил, и не прииде Самуил в Галгалы: и разсеяшася людие его от него.
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
9 И рече Саул: приведите, яко да сотворю всесожжение и мирная. И вознесе всесожжение.
And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
10 И бысть егда соверши вознося всесожжение, и се, Самуил прииде: и Саул изыде на сретение ему благословитися им.
And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 И рече Самуил: что сотворил еси? И рече Саул: видех, яко отидоша людие от мене, и ты не пришел еси, якоже определил еси свидетелством дний, иноплеменницы же собрашася в Махмас,
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
12 и рех: ныне приидут иноплеменницы ко мне в Галгалы, и лица Господня не умолих: и не удержахся, и вознесох всесожжение.
therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.
13 И рече Самуил к Саулу: безумие бысть тебе, понеже не сохранил еси заповеди моея, юже заповеда ти Господь: яко ныне уготовал бы Господь царство твое во Израили до века:
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 и ныне царство твое не станет тебе, и изыщет Господь Себе человека по сердцу Своему, и повелит ему Господь властелину быти над людьми Своими, яко не сохранил еси, елика заповеда тебе Господь.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.
15 И воста Самуил и иде от Галгал в путь свой: и останок людий идоша вслед Саула на сретение людем ратным. Имже приходящым от Галгал в Гаваю Вениаминову, и сочте Саул люди обретшыяся с ним яко шесть сот мужей.
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Саул же и Ионафан сын его и людие обретшиися с ними седоша в Гаваи Вениаминове и плакашася: иноплеменницы же ополчишася в Махмасе.
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 И изыдоша губящии от села иноплеменников тремя началы: начало едино зрящее путь Гофера на землю Совалю:
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
18 и начало едино зрящее путь Вефоронь: и начало едино зрящее путь Гаваи, клонящийся к Гаисавим пустыни.
and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 И ковачь железа не обреташеся во всей земли Израилеве, яко реша иноплеменницы, да не сотворят Еврее меча и копия.
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
20 И хождаху вси сынове Израилевы в землю иноплеменничу ковати кийждо своя косы и орудия своя, и кийждо секиры своя и серпы своя.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
21 И притупишася вся орудия приспевшей жатве, секиры и серпы, поправления же има не бысть.
yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
22 И бысть во дни брани Махмасския, и не обретеся меча и копия в руках всех людий, иже с Саулом и со Ионафаном: точию у Саула и Ионафана сына его.
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
23 И изыдоша от стана иноплеменнича об ону страну Махмаса.
And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash.
