Первая книга Царств 13
1 Сын единаго лета Саул, егда нача царствовати, и два лета царствова над Израилем.
When Saul had reigned one year, —and two years he reigned 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 for himself three thousand men out of Israel; and there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and on the mountain of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gib'ah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent away every man to his tents.
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 outpost of the Philistines that was at Geba', and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the cornet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear it.
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 it, saying, Saul hath smitten the outpost of the Philistines, and the Israelites also have put themselves in ill-favor with the Philistines. And the people were called 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 gathered 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 from Bethaven.
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:
And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, [for the people were oppressed, ] then did the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in strongholds, 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.
And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gil'ad. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him hastily.
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 scattering themselves from him.
9 И рече Саул: приведите, яко да сотворю всесожжение и мирная. И вознесе всесожжение.
And Saul said, Bring hither to me the burnt-offering 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 greet 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 scattering themselves from me, whereas thou camest not at the appointed day, and the Philistines are gathering 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.
And I said, The Philistines will now come down unto me to Gilgal, and I have not yet made supplication unto the Lord: wherefore I forced myself, 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 the Lord thy God, which he had commanded thee; for now would the Lord have established thy government over 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 government shall not endure: the Lord hath sought out for himself a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath ordained him to be chief over his people; because thou hast not kept what the Lord had 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 went up from Gilgal unto Gib'ah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were to be found 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 to be found with them, were lying in Geba' of Benjamin; but the Philistines were encamped in Michmash.
17 И изыдоша губящии от села иноплеменников тремя началы: начало едино зрящее путь Гофера на землю Совалю:
And the troop of freebooters went out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned into the way to 'Ophrah, unto the land of Shu'al;
18 и начало едино зрящее путь Вефоронь: и начало едино зрящее путь Гаваи, клонящийся к Гаисавим пустыни.
And another company turned into the way to Beth-choron; and the other company turned into the way to the frontier that looketh over the valley of Zebo'im 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 to be found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, So that the Hebrews shall not make themselves 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 plough-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.
And they used a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the three-pronged forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen 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 on 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 they were found with Saul and with Jonathan his son.
23 И изыдоша от стана иноплеменнича об ону страну Махмаса.
And the outpost of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
