< 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.
One day, Jonathan son of Saul said to his young armor bearer, “Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison on the other 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.
Saul was staying on the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree that is in Migron. About six hundred men were with him,
3 И Ахиа сын Ахитов, брата Иохаведова, сына Финеесова, сына Илии, иерей Божий в Силоме нося ефуд: и людие не ведяху, яко отиде Ионафан.
including Ahijah son of Ahitub (Ichabod's brother) son of Phinehas son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh at Shiloh, who wore an ephod. 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:
On each side of the pass through which Jonathan wanted to go in order to get to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky cliff on one side and another rocky cliff on the other side. One rocky cliff was called Bozez and the other rocky cliff was called Seneh.
5 камень един стояше от севера противу Махмаса, и камень вторый от юга противу Гаваи.
One rocky cliff stood 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.
Jonathan said to his young armor bearer, “Come, let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised fellows. It may be that Yahweh will work on our behalf, for nothing can stop Yahweh from saving by many or by few people.”
7 И рече ему носяй оружие его: твори все, на неже сердце твое склоняется: се, аз с тобою есмь, якоже сердце твое сердце мое.
His armor bearer replied, “Do everything that is in your heart. Go ahead, see, I am with you, to obey all your commands.”
8 И рече Ионафан: се, мы прейдем к мужем и явимся к ним:
Then Jonathan said, “We will cross over to the men, and we will show 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 to us, 'Wait there until we come over to you'—then we will stay in our place and will not cross over 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 reply, 'Come over to us,' then we will cross over; because Yahweh has given them into our hand. This will be the sign to us.”
11 И внидоста оба в мессаву иноплеменников. И глаголаша иноплеменницы: се, Еврее исходят из разселин своих, идеже скрышася.
So both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. The Philistines said, “Look, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden 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.
Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something.” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Follow after me, because Yahweh has given 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.
Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, and his armor bearer followed behind him. The Philistines were put to death before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death behind him.
14 И бысть язва первая, еюже порази Ионафан и носяй оружие его, яко двадесять мужей копийцами и каменовержением и кремением полевым.
That first attack that Jonathan and his armor bearer made, killed about twenty men within an area of half an acre.
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.
There was a panic in the camp, in the field, and among the people. Even the garrison and the raiders panicked. The earth quaked, and there was a great panic.
16 И видеша соглядатае Сауловы в Гаваи Вениамини, и се, полк смятеся семо и онамо.
Then Saul's watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; the crowd of Philistine soldiers was dispersing, and they were going 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 that were with him, “Count and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, Jonathan and his armor bearer were missing.
18 И рече Саул ко Ахии: принеси ефуд, яко бе кивот Божий в той день с сынми Израилевыми.
Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here,” for at that time it was with the people 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.
While Saul was talking to the priest, the commotion in the camp of the Philistines was continuing and increasing. Then Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your 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.
Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into battle. Every Philistine's sword was against his fellow countrymen, and there was very great confusion.
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 those Hebrews who previously had been with the Philistines, and who had gone with them into the camp, even they joined with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 И вси Израилтяне скрывшиися в горе Ефремли услышаша, яко отбегоша иноплеменницы: приложишася и тии вслед их на брань.
When all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hills near Ephraim heard that the Philistines were fleeing, even they chased after them in 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 Yahweh saved Israel that day, and the battle passed beyond 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:
That day the men of Israel were distressed because Saul had put the people under an oath and said, “Cursed be the man that eats any food until evening and I am avenged on my enemies.” So none of the troops tasted food.
25 и вся земля обедаше: и се, бяше дубрава пчелная пред лицем села:
Then all the people entered 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.
When the people entered into the forest, the honey flowed, but no one 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 had not heard that his father had bound the people with an oath. He reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
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, “Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, by saying, 'Cursed be the man that eats food on this day,' even though the people are weak from hunger.”
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 made trouble for the land. See how my eyes have become brightened 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 better if the people had eaten freely today of the plunder from their enemies that they found? Because now the slaughter has not been great among the Philistines.”
31 И поразиша в день той от иноплеменников множае нежели в Махмасе: и утрудишася людие зело.
They attacked the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very weary.
32 И устремишася людие на корысти, и пояша людие стада и буйволы и говяда: и закалаху на земли, и ядоша людие с кровию.
The people rushed greedily on the plunder and took sheep, oxen and calves, and killed them on the ground. 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, “Look, the people are sinning against Yahweh by eating with the blood.” Saul said, “You have acted unfaithfully. Now, roll a big stone here to me.”
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.
Saul said, “Go out among the people, and tell them, 'Let every man bring his ox and his sheep, kill them here, and eat. Do not sin against Yahweh by eating with the blood.'” So each of the people brought his own ox with him that night and killed it there.
35 И созда Саул тамо олтарь Господу: сей нача Саул созидати олтарь Господу.
Saul built an altar to Yahweh, which was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
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.
Then Saul said, “Let us pursue the Philistines by night and plunder them until morning; let us not leave one of them alive.” They replied, “Do whatever seems good to you.” But the priest said, “Let us approach God here.”
37 И вопроси Саул Бога: сниду ли вслед иноплеменников? Предаси ли их в руки Израилтяном? И не отвеща ему Господь в день той.
Saul asked God, “Should I pursue the Philistines? Will you give them into the hand of Israel?” But God 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,
Then Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people; learn and see how this sin has happened today.
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 Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, even if it is in Jonathan my son, he will surely die.” But none of the men among all the people 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, “You must stand on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
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.
Saul said, “Yahweh, God of Israel! If this sin has been committed by me or by my son Jonathan, then, Yahweh, God of Israel, give the Urim. But if this sin has been committed by your people Israel, give the Thummim.” Then Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the army was exonerated.
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.
Then Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Then Jonathan was taken by lot.
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 you have done.” Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. Here I am; I will die.”
44 И рече ему Саул: сия да сотворит ми Бог, и сия да приложит ми, яко смертию умреши днесь.
Saul said, “God do so and more also to me, if you do not 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.
Then the people said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great victory for Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, not one hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today.” So the people rescued Jonathan so that he did not die.
46 И не иде Саул вслед иноплеменников: иноплеменницы же отидоша в место свое.
Then Saul stopped pursuing 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.
When Saul began to rule over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side. He fought against Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment on them.
48 И сотвори силу, и победи Амалика, и избави Израиля из руки попирающих его.
He acted with great courage and defeated the Amalekites. He rescued Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
49 И беша сынове Сауловы Ионафан и Иисуй и Мелхисуе: имена же двою дщерию его, имя первородней Мерова и имя вторей Мелхола:
The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki-Shua. The names of his two daughters were Merab, the firstborn, and Michal, the younger.
50 имя же жене его Ахиноома, дщерь Ахимаасова: и имя старейшине вой его Авенир сын Нира сына ужика Саулова:
The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam; she was the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
51 Кис же отец Саулов, и Нир отец Авениров сын иамина сына Авиилева.
Kish was Saul's father; 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.
There was hard fighting against the Philistines all the days of Saul. When Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he attached him to himself.
