< Первая книга Царств 13 >
1 Сын единаго лета Саул, егда нача царствовати, и два лета царствова над Израилем.
Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two 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.
that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
3 И порази Ионафан насива иноплеменника иже в холме. И услышаша иноплеменницы, и Саул воструби трубою во всю землю, глаголя: отвергошася раби.
Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. 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.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at 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.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped 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 trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
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 stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon him.
9 И рече Саул: приведите, яко да сотворю всесожжение и мирная. И вознесе всесожжение.
Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
10 И бысть егда соверши вознося всесожжение, и се, Самуил прииде: и Саул изыде на сретение ему благословитися им.
It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, 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,
Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come 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 I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't 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:
Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you; for now Jehovah would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
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 your kingdom shall not continue. Jehovah has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Jehovah commanded you."
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 departed from Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who 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.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
17 И изыдоша губящии от села иноплеменников тремя началы: начало едино зрящее путь Гофера на землю Совалю:
The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to 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 toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
19 И ковачь железа не обреташеся во всей земли Израилеве, яко реша иноплеменницы, да не сотворят Еврее меча и копия.
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make 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 Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
21 И притупишася вся орудия приспевшей жатве, секиры и серпы, поправления же има не бысть.
and the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and 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 on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
23 И изыдоша от стана иноплеменнича об ону страну Махмаса.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
