Первая книга Царств 18
1 И бысть егда преста глаголати к Саулу, и душа Ионафана с душею Давидовою спряжеся, и возлюби его Ионафан от души своея.
[And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
2 И поят его Саул во дни оны и не даде ему возвратитися в дом отца его.
[And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
3 И завеща Ионафан и Давид завет, понеже возлюби его от души своея:
[And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
4 и совлече Ионафан ризу свою верхнюю и даде ю Давиду, и ины одежды своя даже до меча своего и до лука своего и до пояса своего.
[And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
5 И хождаше Давид разумно во всех, аможе аще посылаше его Саул: постави же его Саул над мужи воинскими, и угоден бе пред очима всех людий и пред слугами Сауловыми.
[And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
6 И бысть, внегда входити им, егда возвратися Давид от победы над иноплеменником: и изыдоша (девы) ликовствующыя во сретение Саула царя от всех градов Израилевых поющя и скачущя в тимпанех с радостию и с гусльми.
And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
7 И исхождаху жены ликующя и глаголющя: победи Саул с тысящами своими, а Давид со тмами своими.
And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 И разгневася Саул зело, и лукавы явишася глаголы пред очима сауловыма о словеси сем. И рече Саул: Давиду даша тмы, мне же даша тысящы: и чего ему (несть), точию царства?
And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
9 И бе Саул подзирая Давида от дне онаго и потом.
[And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
10 И бысть от утрешняго дне, и нападаше дух лукавый от Бога на Саула, и прорицаше посреде дому своего: и Давид пояше рукою своею (в гусли), якоже и по вся дни: копие же в руце Саули:
[And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
11 и взя Саул копие и рече: поражу Давида к стене. И уклонися Давид от лица его дважды.
[And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
12 И убояся Саул от лица Давидова, яко Господь бе с ним, а от Саула отступи:
And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
13 и отстави его Саул от себе, и постави его себе тысященачалника: и исхождаше и вхождаше пред людьми.
And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 И бе Давид во всех путех своих смысля, и Господь бе с ним.
And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
15 И виде Саул, яко той смыслит зело, и бояшеся от лица его.
And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
16 Весь же Израиль и Иуда любляху Давида, яко той вхождаше и исхождаше пред лицем людий.
And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
17 И рече Саул к Давиду: се, дщи моя болшая Меров, сию тебе дам в жену, токмо буди ми в сына силы и поборай брани Господни. И Саул рече: да не будет рука моя на нем, но да будет рука иноплеменнича.
[And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
18 И рече Давид к Саулу: кто аз есмь? И кое житие сродства отца моего во Израили, яко да буду зять царский?
[And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
19 И бысть во время, егда даней быти подобаше Мерове дщери Саулове Давиду, сия дадеся Адриилу Молафитскому в жену.
[But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
20 И возлюби Мелхола дщерь Саулова Давида: и возвестися Саулу, и угодно бысть пред очима его слово.
And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
21 И рече Саул: дам ему ю, и будет ему в соблазн. И бе на Саула рука иноплеменнича. И рече Саул к Давиду: в силах будеши ми зять днесь.
And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
22 И заповеда Саул отроком своим, глаголя: рцыте вы тайно Давиду, глаголюще: се, благоволит о тебе царь, и вси отроцы его любят тя, и ты буди зять царю.
And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
23 И глаголаша отроцы Сауловы во ушы Давиду глаголы сия. И рече Давид: еда легко пред очима вашима, еже быти (ми) зятем царю? Аз бо есмь муж смирен и не славен.
And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honorable?
24 И возвестиша отроцы Саулу сия словеса, яже глагола Давид.
And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
25 И рече Саул: тако рцыте Давиду: не хощет царь с богатством (зятя), но токмо во сте краенеобрезаний иноплеменнических отмстити врагом царевым. Саул бо мысляше вдати Давида в руце иноплеменником.
And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
26 И возвестиша отроцы Сауловы глаголы сия Давиду, и угодна быша словеса сия пред очима Давидовыма, еже быти в зятя царю.
And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
27 И не по мнозех днех, воста Давид и иде сам и мужие его с ним, и уби от иноплеменник двести мужей: и принесе краенеобрезания их царю и вдаде я ему, и бысть зять царю, и вдаде ему царь Мелхолу дщерь свою в жену.
And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
28 И виде Саул, яко Господь есть с Давидом, и весь Израиль любит его:
And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
29 и приложи Саул оттоле паче боятися Давида. И бысть Саул враждуя на Давида во вся дни.
And he was yet more afraid of David.
30 И исхождаху князи иноплеменничи, и бысть от начала исхождения их, Давид разумен бе паче всех слуг Сауловых, и почтеся имя его зело.
[And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honored exceedingly. ]
