Первая книга Царств 16
1 И рече Господь к Самуилу: доколе ты плачеши о Сауле, Аз же уничижих его, не царствовати во Израили? Наполни рог твой елеа и прииди, послю тя ко Иессею до Вифлеема, яко узрех в сынех его Себе царя.
And YHWH says to Samuel, “Until when are you mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, I send you to Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons a king for Myself.”
2 И рече Самуил: како пойду? И услышит Саул, и убиет мя. И рече Господь: юницу от волов возми в руце твои и речеши: пожрети Господеви иду:
And Samuel says, “How do I go? When Saul has heard, then he has slain me.” And YHWH says, “You take a heifer of the herd in your hand, and have said, I have come to sacrifice to YHWH;
3 и призовеши Иессеа и сыны его к жертве: и Аз ти покажу, яже сотвориши, и помажеши Ми, егоже ти реку.
and you have called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I cause you to know that which you do, and you have anointed for Me him of whom I speak to you.”
4 И сотвори Самуил вся, елика рече ему Господь: и прииде в Вифлеем, и ужасошася старейшины града о пришествии его и реша: мир ли вход твой, о, прозорливче?
And Samuel does that which YHWH has spoken, and comes to Beth-Lehem, and [the] elderly of the city tremble to meet him, and [one] says, “Is your coming peace?”
5 И рече: мир: пожрети Господу приидох: освятитеся и возвеселитеся днесь со мною. И освяти Иессеа и сыны его, и призва я к жертве.
And he says, “Peace; I have come to sacrifice to YHWH, sanctify yourselves, and you have come in with me to the sacrifice”; and he sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice.
6 И бысть внегда внити им, и виде Елиава и рече: сей ли пред Господем помазанник Его?
And it comes to pass, in their coming in, that he sees Eliab and says, “Surely His anointed [is] here before YHWH.”
7 И рече Господь Самуилу: не зри на лице его, ниже на возраст величества его, яко уничижих его: понеже не тако зрит человек, яко зрит Бог: яко человек зрит на лице, Бог же зрит на сердце.
And YHWH says to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance, and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for [it is] not as man sees—for man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”
8 И призва Иессей Аминадава и представи его пред лице Самуила. И рече (Самуил): ниже сего избра Господь.
And Jesse calls to Abinadab, and causes him to pass by before Samuel; and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
9 И приведе Иессей Саммаа. И рече: и сего не избра Господь.
And Jesse causes Shammah to pass by, and he says, “Indeed, YHWH has not fixed on this [one].”
10 И приведе Иессей седмь сынов своих пред Самуила. И рече Самуил ко Иессею: не избра Господь от сих.
And Jesse causes seven of his sons to pass by before Samuel, and Samuel says to Jesse, “YHWH has not fixed on these.”
11 И рече Самуил ко Иессею: не достало ли уже детей? И рече Иессей: еще есть един мал, и сей пасет на пажити. И рече Самуил ко Иессею: посли и приведи его, яко не возляжем, дондеже приидет той семо.
And Samuel says to Jesse, “Are the young men finished?” And he says, “Yet the youngest has been left; and behold, he delights himself among the flock”; and Samuel says to Jesse, “Send and take him, for we do not turn around until his coming in here.”
12 И посла, и введе его: и той чермен, добрыма очима, и благ взором Господеви. И рече Господь к Самуилу: востани и помажи Давида, яко сей благ есть.
And he sends, and brings him in, and he [is] ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and of good appearance; and YHWH says, “Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”
13 И прия Самуил рог со елеем и помаза его посреде братии его. И ношашеся Дух Господень над Давидом от того дне и потом. И воста Самуил и отиде во Армафем.
And Samuel takes the horn of oil, and anoints him in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of YHWH prospers over David from that day and onward; and Samuel rises and goes to Ramath.
14 И Дух Господень отступи от Саула, и давляше его дух лукавый от Господа.
And the Spirit of YHWH turned aside from Saul, and a spirit of sadness from YHWH terrified him;
15 И реша отроцы Сауловы к нему: се, ныне дух лукавый от Господа давит тя:
and the servants of Saul say to him, “Now behold, a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying you;
16 да рекут раби твои ныне пред тобою, и взыщут господину нашему мужа знающа пети в гусли: и внегда будет дух лукавый на тебе, и тогда да поет в гусли своя, и благо ти будет, и упокоит тя.
now let our lord command your servants before you [that] they seek a skillful man playing on a harp, and it has come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being on you, that he has played with his hand and [it is] well with you.”
17 И рече Саул ко отроком своим: посмотрите ми мужа добре поюща и введите его ко мне.
And Saul says to his servants, “Now provide for me a man playing well—then you have brought [him] to me.”
18 И отвеща един от отрок его и рече: се, видех сына Иессеова из Вифлеема, и той весть пение, и муж разумен, и борец, и мудр в словеси, и муж благ видом, и Господь с ним.
And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.”
19 И посла Саул вестники ко Иессею, глаголя: отпусти ко мне Давида сына твоего, иже у стада твоего.
And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.”
20 И взя Иессей бремя хлебов и мех вина и козля от коз едино, и посла к Саулу рукою Давида сына своего.
And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul.
21 И вниде Давид к Саулу, и предстояше пред ним, и возлюби его зело Саул, и бысть ему носяй оружие его.
And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons.
22 И посла Саул ко Иессею, глаголя: да предстоит Давид предо мною, яко обрете благодать пред очима моима.
And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.”
23 И бысть внегда быти духу лукаву на Сауле, и взимаше Давид гусли и играше рукою своею, и отдыхаше Саул, и благо ему бяше, и отступаше от него дух лукавый.
And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him.
