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 made an end of speaking unto Saul, that, the soul of Jonathan, was knit with, the soul of David, so that Jonathan 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, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
3 И завеща Ионафан и Давид завет, понеже возлюби его от души своея:
And Jonathan and David solemnised 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 the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, 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 forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even 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.
But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
7 И исхождаху жены ликующя и глаголющя: победи Саул с тысящами своими, а Давид со тмами своими.
And the women that made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, David, his, tens of 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?
Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
9 И бе Саул подзирая Давида от дне онаго и потом.
And Saul was eyeing David from that day 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:
And, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s hand,
11 и взя Саул копие и рече: поражу Давида к стене. И уклонися Давид от лица его дважды.
Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
12 И убояся Саул от лица Давидова, яко Господь бе с ним, а от Саула отступи:
And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed.
13 и отстави его Саул от себе, и постави его себе тысященачалника: и исхождаше и вхождаше пред людьми.
So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of 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.
And it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, was with him.
15 И виде Саул, яко той смыслит зело, и бояшеся от лица его.
And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, he was afraid of him.
16 Весь же Израиль и Иуда любляху Давида, яко той вхождаше и исхождаше пред лицем людий.
But, all Israel and Judah, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming 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.
So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, 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 unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become 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 came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife.
20 И возлюби Мелхола дщерь Саулова Давида: и возвестися Саулу, и угодно бысть пред очима его слово.
Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told Saul, and the thing was right 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 to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
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 commanded his servants—Speak ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
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 spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
24 И возвестиша отроцы Саулу сия словеса, яже глагола Давид.
So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
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.
Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let 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.
So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had 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.
Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal his daughter, to wife.
28 И виде Саул, яко Господь есть с Давидом, и весь Израиль любит его:
And Saul saw and knew that, Yahweh, 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.
So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
30 И исхождаху князи иноплеменничи, и бысть от начала исхождения их, Давид разумен бе паче всех слуг Сауловых, и почтеся имя его зело.
And, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
