1 И отиде Давид оттуду, и спасеся, и прииде в пещеру Одолламску: и слышавше братия его и дом отца его, приидоша к нему тамо.
David therefore departed there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
2 И собрашася к нему всяк иже в нужде, и всяк должник, и всяк печальный душею, и бе ими обладаяй, и бяше с ним яко четыреста мужей.
Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 И отиде Давид оттуду в Массифаф Моавитский и рече к царю Моавитску: да будут ныне отец мой и мати моя у тебе, дондеже познаю, что сотворит мне Бог.
David went there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother stay with you, until I know what God will do for me."
4 И умоли лице царя Моавитска, и пребываху у него по вся дни, сущу Давиду во области той.
He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5 И рече Гад пророк к Давиду: не седи во области сей: иди, и да внидеши в землю Иудину. И иде Давид и пришед седе в граде Сарих.
The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah." Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6 И слыша Саул, яко познан бысть Давид, и мужие иже с ним: и Саул седяше на холме под дубравою яже в Раме, и копие в руку его, и вси отроцы его предстояху ему.
Saul heard that David had been discovered, and the men who were with him. Now Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree at the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7 И рече Саул ко отроком своим предстоящым ему: слышите ныне, сынове Вениаминовы, аще воистинну всем вам даст сын Иессеев села и винограды и поставит вас всех в сотники и тысящники:
And he said to them, "Hear now, you Benjamites. Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
8 яко вси согласистеся на мя, и несть открываяй во ухо мое, егда положи завет сын мой с сыном Иессеовым, и несть от вас ни един боляй о мне и возвещаяй во ушы мои, яко воздвиже сын мой раба моего на мя врага, якоже день сей?
that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
9 И отвеща Доик Сирин приставленый над мсками Сауловыми и рече: видех сына Иессеева пришедша в Номву ко Авимелеху сыну Ахитову иерею:
Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 и вопрошаше о нем Бога, и брашно вдаде ему, и мечь Голиафа иноплеменника вдаде ему.
He inquired of God for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
11 И посла царь призвати Авимелеха сына Ахитова, и вся сыны отца его иереи от Номвы. И приидоша вси к царю.
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12 И рече Саул: слыши ныне, сыне Ахитов. И рече: се, аз, глаголи, господине.
Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub." He answered, "Here I am, my lord."
13 И рече ему Саул: почто совещался еси на мя ты и сын Иессеев, яко вдал еси ему хлеб и мечь, и вопрошал еси о нем Бога положити его на мя во врага, якоже день сей?
Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
14 И отвеща Авимелех царю и рече: и кто во всех рабех твоих верен якоже Давид, и зять царев, и князь всем заповедем твоим, и славен в дому твоем?
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, "Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and a commander over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
15 Еда днесь начах вопрошати о нем Бога? Никако: да не возложиши, царю, на раба твоего словесе сего, и на весь дом отца моего, яко не ведяше раб твой во всех сих словесе мала, или велика.
Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more."
16 И рече царь Саул: смертию умреши, Авимелех, ты и весь дом отца твоего.
The king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father's house."
17 И рече царь скороходцем предстоящым пред ним: приведите и избийте иереи Господни, яко рука их с Давидом, и понеже познаша, яко бежит той, и не возвестиша во ушию моею. И не хотяху отроцы царевы возложити рук своих на иереи Господни.
The king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn, and kill the priests of Jehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me." But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.
18 И рече царь Доику: обратися ты, и устремися на иереи. И обратися Доик Сирин, и уби иереев Господних в той день, триста пять мужей, всех носящих ефуд:
The king said to Doeg, "Turn and attack the priests." Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
19 и Номву град иерейский погуби острием оружия от мужеска полу и до женска, от отрока и до ссущаго, и телца и осла и овчате.
He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep.
20 И угонзе един сын Авимелеха сына Ахитова, имя ему Авиафар, и бежа вслед Давида.
One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 И возвести Авиафар Давиду, яко изби Саул вся иереи Господни.
Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.
22 И рече Давид ко Авиафару: ведях в день той, яко тамо бе Доик Сирин, яко возвещая возвестит Саулу: аз есмь виновен о душах дому отца твоего:
Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for all the lives of your father's house.
23 седи со мною, не бойся, яко идеже аще взыщу души моей место, взыщу и души твоей, яко сохранен будеши ты у мене.
Stay with me, do not be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For with me you shall be in safeguard."
