Первая книга Царств 19
1 И глагола Саул к Ионафану сыну своему и ко всем отроком своим, да умертвят Давида. Ионафан же сын Саулов любяше Давида зело.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David; but Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David.
2 И возвести Ионафан Давиду, глаголя: отец мой Саул ищет тя убити: сохранися убо заутра рано, и скрыйся, и сяди втайне:
And Jonathan told David, saying: 'Saul my father seeketh to slay thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself.
3 и аз изыду, и стану при отце моем на селе, идеже еси ты: и аз возглаголю отцу моему о тебе, и узрю, что будет, и возвещу тебе.
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.'
4 И глагола Ионафан о Давиде благая к Саулу отцу своему, и рече к нему: да не согрешает царь на раба своего Давида, яко не согреши пред тобою, и дела его блага суть зело:
And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his work hath been very good towards thee;
5 и положи душу свою в руце своей и победи иноплеменника, и сотвори Господь спасение велико всему Израилю, и вси видеша и возрадовашася: и почто согрешаеши в кровь неповинну, еже убити Давида туне?
for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?'
6 И послуша Саул гласа Ионафаня: и клятся Саул, глаголя: жив Господь, яко не умрет (Давид).
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore: 'As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death.'
7 И призва Ионафан Давида и возвести ему вся глаголы сия, и введе Ионафан Давида к Саулу, и бе пред ним яко вчера и третияго дне.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
8 И приложися брань быти на Саула, и укрепися Давид, и победи иноплеменники, и изби язвою великою зело, и бежаша от лица его.
And there was war again; and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 И бысть от Бога дух лукавый на Сауле, и той в дому своем седяше, и копие в руце его, Давид же играше руками своими:
And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 и искаше Саул копием поразити Давида, и отступи Давид от лица Сауля, и удари Саул копием в стену: Давид же отшед спасеся в нощь ту.
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 И посла Саул вестники в дом Давидов стрещи его, еже убити его рано. И возвести Давиду Мелхола жена его, глаголющи: аще ты не спасеши души твоея в нощь сию, заутра умреши.
And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying: 'If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.'
12 И свеси Мелхола Давида оконцем, и отиде, и убежа, и спасеся:
So Michal let David down through the window; and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 и прият Мелхола тщепогребалная, и положи на одре, и печень козию положи на возглавии его, и покры я ризами.
And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with a cloth.
14 И посла Саул вестники, да имут Давида, и рекоша, яко болен есть.
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said: 'He is sick.'
15 И посла Саул, да оглядают Давида, глаголя: принесите его на одре ко мне, еже умертвити его.
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying: 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.'
16 И приидоша слуги, и се, тщепогребалная на одре и козия печень при возглавии его.
And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof.
17 И рече Саул к Мелхоле: почто тако обманула мя еси, и отпустила еси врага моего, и гонзе мене? И рече Мелхола Саулу: сам ми рече: отпусти мя: аще же ни, погублю тя.
And Saul said unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I kill thee?'
18 И Давид убежа и спасеся, и иде к Самуилу во Армафем и поведа ему вся, елика сотвори ему Саул. И идоста Давид и Самуил и седоста в Навафе в Раме.
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: се, Давид в Навафе в Раме.
And it was told Saul, saying: 'Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.'
20 И посла слуги Саул яти Давида, и видеша собор пророков, и Самуил стояше настоятель над ними: и бысть Дух Божий на слугах Саулих, и начаша прорицати.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 И возвестиша Саулу, и посла другия слуги, и прорицати начаша и тии. И приложи Саул послати слуги третия, и начаша и тии прорицати.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 И разгневася гневом Саул, и иде и сам во Армафем, и прииде даже до кладязя гумна, еже есть в Сефе, и вопроси и рече: где есть Самуил и Давид? И реша: се, в Навафе в Раме.
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great cistern that is in Secu; and he asked and said: 'Where are Samuel and David?' And one said: 'Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.'
23 И иде оттуду в Наваф (иже) в Раме: и бысть и на нем Дух Божий, и идяше идый и прорицая, дондеже приити ему в Наваф иже в Раме.
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 И совлече ризы своя и прорицаше пред ними: и паде наг весь день той и всю нощь. Того ради глаголаху: еда и Саул во пророцех?
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
