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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.
2 И возвести Ионафан Давиду, глаголя: отец мой Саул ищет тя убити: сохранися убо заутра рано, и скрыйся, и сяди втайне:
Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, live in a secret place, and hide yourself.
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.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”
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:
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’t let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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 struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
6 И послуша Саул гласа Ионафаня: и клятся Саул, глаголя: жив Господь, яко не умрет (Давид).
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, 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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 И приложися брань быти на Саула, и укрепися Давид, и победи иноплеменники, и изби язвою великою зело, и бежаша от лица его.
There was war again. David went out and fought with the Philistines, and killed 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:
An evil spirit from Yahweh was on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing music 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.
Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence; and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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.
Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 И свеси Мелхола Давида оконцем, и отиде, и убежа, и спасеся:
So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, and escaped.
13 и прият Мелхола тщепогребалная, и положи на одре, и печень козию положи на возглавии его, и покры я ризами.
Michal took the teraphim and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head and covered it with clothes.
14 И посла Саул вестники, да имут Давида, и рекоша, яко болен есть.
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.
Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.”
16 И приидоша слуги, и се, тщепогребалная на одре и козия печень при возглавии его.
When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
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.
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go! Why should I kill you?’”
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 at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.
19 И возвестиша Саулу, глаголюще: се, Давид в Навафе в Раме.
Saul was told, 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.
Saul sent messengers to seize David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spirit came on Saul’s messengers, 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.
When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. 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 he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” 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.
He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on 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?
He also stripped off his clothes. He also prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
