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 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.
And 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.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to 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.
And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted 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.
And it came to pass as they came, when David had 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 tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 И исхождаху жены ликующя и глаголющя: победи Саул с тысящами своими, а Давид со тмами своими.
And the women spoke to one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain 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 Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
9 И бе Саул подзирая Давида от дне онаго и потом.
And Saul kept a jealous eye on 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 next day, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand.
11 и взя Саул копие и рече: поражу Давида к стене. И уклонися Давид от лица его дважды.
And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David escaped from his presence twice.
12 И убояся Саул от лица Давидова, яко Господь бе с ним, а от Саула отступи:
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD 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.
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
15 И виде Саул, яко той смыслит зело, и бояшеся от лица его.
Therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, 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 loved David, because 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.
And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee for a wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD’S battles. For Saul said, Let not my 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 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 came to pass at the time when Merab Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20 И возлюби Мелхола дщерь Саулова Давида: и возвестися Саулу, и угодно бысть пред очима его слово.
And Michal 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 said, 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, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the two.
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, saying, Speak with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: 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.
And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
24 И возвестиша отроцы Саулу сия словеса, яже глагола Давид.
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spoke 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.
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But 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.
And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: 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.
Therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two 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. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.
28 И виде Саул, яко Господь есть с Давидом, и весь Израиль любит его:
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul’s daughter loved him.
29 и приложи Саул оттоле паче боятися Давида. И бысть Саул враждуя на Давида во вся дни.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became 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 princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much esteemed.
