Первая книга Царств 13
1 Сын единаго лета Саул, егда нача царствовати, и два лета царствова над Израилем.
Saul was [thirty] 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 out of Israel, of whom there were with Saul, two thousand in Michmash and in the hill-country of Bethel, and, a thousand, were with Jonathan, in Gibeah of Benjamin, —but, the rest of the people, he let go, every man 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.
Then did Jonathan smite the garrison of Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it, —and, Saul, blew with a horn 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—Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines, Moreover, also, Israel have made themselves odious among the Philistines, —so the people were called together to follow 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, a people also like the sand that is on the sea-shore for multitude, —and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, east 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:
So, the men of Israel, saw they were in a strait, for the people had been harassed, —and the people had hidden themselves in caves, and in thickets, and among cliffs, and in holes, 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, Hebrews, had passed over the Jordan, to the land of Gad, and Gilead, —but, Saul, was yet in Gilgal, and all the people, trembled after him.
8 И ждаше седмь дний по свидетелству, якоже рече Самуил, и не прииде Самуил в Галгалы: и разсеяшася людие его от него.
And he waited seven days, by the set time that Samuel had named, 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.
Then said Saul, Bring near unto me, the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
10 И бысть егда соверши вознося всесожжение, и се, Самуил прииде: и Саул изыде на сретение ему благословитися им.
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of offering up the ascending-sacrifice, lo! Samuel, had come, —and Saul went out to meet him, that he might bless 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,
Then said Samuel—What hast thou done? And Saul said—Because I saw that the people had been scattered from me, and, thou, hadst not come within the appointed days, and, the Philistines, had gathered themselves together to 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, will the Philistines come down against me, at Gilgal, but, the face of Yahweh, have I not appeased: So I forced myself, and offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
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 unto Saul—Thou hast shewn thyself foolish, —thou hast not kept the commandment of Yahweh thy God, which he commanded thee, for, now, would Yahweh have established thy kingdom unto Israel until times age-abiding;
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.
Whereas, now, shall thy kingdom not be established, —Yahweh hath sought out for him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh hath commanded him to be leader over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yahweh 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 ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were 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.
Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin, —but, the Philistines, had encamped in Michmash.
17 И изыдоша губящии от села иноплеменников тремя началы: начало едино зрящее путь Гофера на землю Совалю:
And the spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
18 и начало едино зрящее путь Вефоронь: и начало едино зрящее путь Гаваи, клонящийся к Гаисавим пустыни.
and, the second company, turned unto the way of Beth-horon, —and, the third company, turned unto the way of the boundary that overlooketh the valley of Zeboim, towards the wilderness.
19 И ковачь железа не обреташеся во всей земли Израилеве, яко реша иноплеменницы, да не сотворят Еврее меча и копия.
Now, a smith, could not be found, throughout all the land of Israel—for the Philistines had said, Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear.
20 И хождаху вси сынове Израилевы в землю иноплеменничу ковати кийждо своя косы и орудия своя, и кийждо секиры своя и серпы своя.
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, —to sharpen every man his share, and his mattock, and his axe, and his sickle.
21 И притупишася вся орудия приспевшей жатве, секиры и серпы, поправления же има не бысть.
Howbeit they had a file for the sickles, and the mattocks, and the three-pronged forks, and the axes, —and for setting 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.
Thus would it come to pass, in the day of battle, that there was found—neither sword nor spear, in the hand of any of the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan, but such were found belonging to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 И изыдоша от стана иноплеменнича об ону страну Махмаса.
Now the garrison of the Philistines had come out to the pass of Michmash.
