Первая книга Царств 14

1 И бысть во един день, и рече Ионафан сын Саулов отрочищу носящему оружие его: гряди, и прейдем в мессаву иноплеменников иже на оней стране. И отцу своему не возвести сего.

Now it fell upon a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on yonder side. But he did not tell his father.

2 И Саул седяше на верху холма под древом яблонным еже в Магдоне, и бяше с ним яко шесть сот мужей.

And Saul abode in the outermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

3 И Ахиа сын Ахитов, брата Иохаведова, сына Финеесова, сына Илии, иерей Божий в Силоме нося ефуд: и людие не ведяху, яко отиде Ионафан.

and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

4 Посреде же прехода, идеже хотяше Ионафан прейти в стан иноплеменничь, бысть камень острый отсюду и камень острый отюнуду: имя единому Васес и другому Сенна:

And between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 камень един стояше от севера противу Махмаса, и камень вторый от юга противу Гаваи.

The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

6 И рече Ионафан ко отрочищу носящему оружие его: гряди, прейдем в мессаву необрезанных сих, негли что сотворит нам Господь, яко несть Господу не удобно спасти во многих или в малых.

And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us, for there is no limitation to Jehovah to save by many or by few.

7 И рече ему носяй оружие его: твори все, на неже сердце твое склоняется: се, аз с тобою есмь, якоже сердце твое сердце мое.

And his armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart. Turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

8 И рече Ионафан: се, мы прейдем к мужем и явимся к ним:

Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will disclose ourselves to them.

9 аще сия рекут к нам: помедлите тамо, дондеже возвестим вам: то постоим сами на месте своем и не пойдем к ним:

If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

10 аще же к нам сице рекут: взыдите к нам: то взыдем, яко предаде их Господь в руки нашя: сие нам знамение (да будет).

But if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up, for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand, and this shall be the sign to us.

11 И внидоста оба в мессаву иноплеменников. И глаголаша иноплеменницы: се, Еврее исходят из разселин своих, идеже скрышася.

And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

12 И отвещаша мужие мессавли ко Ионафану и к носящему оружие его, и реша: взыдите к нам, и явим вам глагол. И рече Ионафан к носящему оружие его: гряди по мне, яко предаде их Господь в руки Израилевы.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me, for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

13 И взыде Ионафан (ползущь) на руках и на ногах своих, и носяй оружие его за ним. И узреша иноплеменницы лице Ионафане, и порази их: и носяй оружие его идяше вслед его.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed them after him.

14 И бысть язва первая, еюже порази Ионафан и носяй оружие его, яко двадесять мужей копийцами и каменовержением и кремением полевым.

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

15 И бысть ужас в полце и на селе: и вси людие иже в мессаве и губящии ужаснушася, и тии не хотяху братися: и вострепета земля, и бысть ужас от Господа.

And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled. And the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.

16 И видеша соглядатае Сауловы в Гаваи Вениамини, и се, полк смятеся семо и онамо.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.

17 И рече Саул людем сущым с ним: разсмотрите ныне и видите, кто отиде от вас. И разсмотриша, и се, не обретеся Ионафан и носяй оружие его.

Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

18 И рече Саул ко Ахии: принеси ефуд, яко бе кивот Божий в той день с сынми Израилевыми.

And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was there at that time with the sons of Israel.

19 И бысть егда глаголаше Саул ко иерею, и шум в полце иноплеменничи ходя идяше и множашеся. И рече Саул ко иерею: пригни руки твоя.

And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased. And Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

20 И изыде Саул и вси людие иже с ним, и изыдоша до сечи. И се, бысть оружие коегождо на ближняго своего, (и бысть) мятеж велик зело.

And Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle. And, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

21 Но и раби, иже быша со иноплеменники вчера и третияго дне, вшедшии в полк, обратишася и тии еже быти им со Израилтяны сущими с Саулом и со Ионафаном.

Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as formerly, and who went up with them into the camp, from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 И вси Израилтяне скрывшиися в горе Ефремли услышаша, яко отбегоша иноплеменницы: приложишася и тии вслед их на брань.

Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed close after them in the battle.

23 И спасе Господь в той день Израиля: брань же пройде даже до Вамофа: и вси людие бяху с Саулом, яко десять тысящ мужей, и бе брань разсыпана во весь град на горе Ефремли.

So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.

24 И Саул сотвори безумие велие в день той, и закля люди, глаголя: проклят человек, иже ясти будет хлеб даже до вечера, дондеже отмщу врагом моим. И не вкусиша людие вси хлеба:

And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

25 и вся земля обедаше: и се, бяше дубрава пчелная пред лицем села:

And all the people came into the forest, and there was honey upon the ground.

26 и внидоша людие во пчелник, и се, исхождаху глаголюще: (яко истече мед, ) и не бе возвращающаго руки своея ко устом своим, яко убояшася людие клятвы Господни.

And when the people came to the forest, behold, the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

27 Ионафан же не слышаше, егда заклинаше отец его люди: и простре конец жезла своего, иже в руку ему, и омочи его в соте медвене, и обрати руку свою во уста своя, и прозреша очи его.

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath, therefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.

28 И рече един от людий, глаголя: кленый прокля отец твой люди, глаголя: проклят человек, иже ясти будет хлеб в день сей: и изнемогоша людие.

Then one of the people answered, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day, and the people were faint.

29 И уразуме Ионафан и рече: смути отец мой землю: виждь, яко прозреша очи мои, егда вкусих мало от меда сего:

Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 о, дабы яли ядуще днесь людие от корыстей врагов своих, ихже обретоша, множайшая бы днесь язва была во иноплеменницех.

How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.

31 И поразиша в день той от иноплеменников множае нежели в Махмасе: и утрудишася людие зело.

And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint,

32 И устремишася людие на корысти, и пояша людие стада и буйволы и говяда: и закалаху на земли, и ядоша людие с кровию.

and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.

33 И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: согрешиша людие ко Господу, ядуще с кровию. И рече Саул: от гефема привалите мне семо камень велий.

Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously. Roll a great stone to me this day.

34 И рече Саул: шедше к людем рцыте им: да принесет кийждо семо телца своего и кийждо овцу свою, и да заколют на камени сем, и ядите я, и не согрешайте Господу ядуще с кровию. И приведоша нощию вси людие свое кийждо, еже имяше в руце своей, и закалаху тамо.

And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat. And sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.

35 И созда Саул тамо олтарь Господу: сей нача Саул созидати олтарь Господу.

And Saul built an altar to Jehovah; the same was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.

36 И рече Саул: снидем вслед иноплеменник нощию, и расхитим их, дондеже заря будет, и не оставим от них мужа. И реша: все еже благо пред очима твоима, твори. И рече иерей: приступим семо к Богу.

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw near here to God.

37 И вопроси Саул Бога: сниду ли вслед иноплеменников? Предаси ли их в руки Израилтяном? И не отвеща ему Господь в день той.

And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.

38 И рече Саул: приведите семо вся колена Израилева, и уразумейте и увеждьте, на ком бысть грех сей днесь,

And Saul said, Draw near here, all ye chiefs of the people, and know and see how this sin has been this day.

39 яко жив Господь спасый Израиля, яко аще ответ будет на Ионафана сына моего, смертию да умрет. И не бе отвещающаго от всех людий.

For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

40 И рече Саул всему Израилю: вы станите на едину страну, аз же и Ионафан сын мой станем на другую страну. И реша людие к Саулу: еже благо пред тобою, твори.

Then he said to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to thee.

41 И рече Саул: Господи Боже Израилев, что яко не отвещал еси рабу Твоему днесь? Или моя есть, или сына моего Ионафана неправда? Господи Боже Израилев, даждь знамение: и аще речеши сия, даждь ныне людем Твоим Израилю, даждь ныне преподобие. И паде жребий на Ионафана и Саула, и людие изыдоша.

Therefore Saul said to Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the people escaped.

42 И рече Саул: верзите жребий на мя и на Ионафана сына моего: егоже объявит Господь, смертию да умрет. И реша людие к Саулу: несть сей глагол. И преможе Саул люди, и вергоша о нем и Ионафане сыне его, и паде на Ионафана жребий.

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

43 И рече Саул ко Ионафану: возвести ми, что сотворил еси? И возвести ему Ионафан и рече: вкушая вкусих мало меду омочив конец жезла, иже в руку моею, и се, аз умираю.

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. And, lo, I must die.

44 И рече ему Саул: сия да сотворит ми Бог, и сия да приложит ми, яко смертию умреши днесь.

And Saul said, God do so and more also, for thou shall surely die, Jonathan.

45 И реша людие к Саулу: еда днесь умрет сотворивый спасение сие велие во Израили? Не буди то, жив Господь, аще падет влас главы его на землю, яко милость Божию сотвори в день сей. И помолишася людие о Ионафане в день той, и не умре.

And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he did not die.

46 И не иде Саул вслед иноплеменников: иноплеменницы же отидоша в место свое.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

47 И Саул укрепися царствовати во Израили, и побеждаше окрест вся враги своя в Моаве и в сынех Аммоних и в сынех Едомлих и в Вефоре и в царствии Сувани и во иноплеменницех: и аможе аще обращашеся, спасашеся.

Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he put them to the worse.

48 И сотвори силу, и победи Амалика, и избави Израиля из руки попирающих его.

And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.

49 И беша сынове Сауловы Ионафан и Иисуй и Мелхисуе: имена же двою дщерию его, имя первородней Мерова и имя вторей Мелхола:

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

50 имя же жене его Ахиноома, дщерь Ахимаасова: и имя старейшине вой его Авенир сын Нира сына ужика Саулова:

And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

51 Кис же отец Саулов, и Нир отец Авениров сын иамина сына Авиилева.

And Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

52 И бе брань крепка на иноплеменники во вся дни Сауловы: и видев Саул всяка мужа сильна и всяка мужа сына силы, собираше их к себе.

And there was great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
