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.
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 И поят его Саул во дни оны и не даде ему возвратитися в дом отца его.
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 И завеща Ионафан и Давид завет, понеже возлюби его от души своея:
Then 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.
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
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.
Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
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.
It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 И исхождаху жены ликующя и глаголющя: победи Саул с тысящами своими, а Давид со тмами своими.
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, 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?
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
9 И бе Саул подзирая Давида от дне онаго и потом.
Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
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:
It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
11 и взя Саул копие и рече: поражу Давида к стене. И уклонися Давид от лица его дважды.
and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
12 И убояся Саул от лица Давидова, яко Господь бе с ним, а от Саула отступи:
Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 и отстави его Саул от себе, и постави его себе тысященачалника: и исхождаше и вхождаше пред людьми.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 И бе Давид во всех путех своих смысля, и Господь бе с ним.
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
15 И виде Саул, яко той смыслит зело, и бояшеся от лица его.
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 Весь же Израиль и Иуда любляху Давида, яко той вхождаше и исхождаше пред лицем людий.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
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.
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
18 И рече Давид к Саулу: кто аз есмь? И кое житие сродства отца моего во Израили, яко да буду зять царский?
David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
19 И бысть во время, егда даней быти подобаше Мерове дщери Саулове Давиду, сия дадеся Адриилу Молафитскому в жену.
But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 И возлюби Мелхола дщерь Саулова Давида: и возвестися Саулу, и угодно бысть пред очима его слово.
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
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 thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
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.
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be 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.
Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
24 И возвестиша отроцы Саулу сия словеса, яже глагола Давид.
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
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.
Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 И возвестиша отроцы Сауловы глаголы сия Давиду, и угодна быша словеса сия пред очима Давидовыма, еже быти в зятя царю.
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
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 killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
28 И виде Саул, яко Господь есть с Давидом, и весь Израиль любит его:
When Saul saw and knew that Jehovah 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.
then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
30 И исхождаху князи иноплеменничи, и бысть от начала исхождения их, Давид разумен бе паче всех слуг Сауловых, и почтеся имя его зело.
Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
