< Первая книга Царств 22 >
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 thence, and escaped, into the cave of Adullam, —and, when his brethren and all the household of his father heard it, they went down unto him, thither.
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.
And there gathered themselves unto him—every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one embittered in soul, and he came to be over them as a prince, —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.
And David departed thence, to Mizpah of Moab, —and said unto the king of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother dwell with you, until that 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.
So he set them before the king of Moab, —and they dwelt with him, all the days that David was in the fortress.
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.
Then said Gad the prophet unto David—Thou must not abide in the fortress, go and get thee into the land of Judah. So David departed, and entered 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.
And, when Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him—Saul, being seated in Gibeah under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants stationed by 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:
then said Saul unto his servants who were stationed by him—Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites! What! even to all of you, will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards? All of you, will he appoint to be princes of thousands, and princes 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 ye have conspired, all of you, against me, and there is none to uncover mine ear as to the covenanting of my son with the son of Jesse? And none from among you that taketh pity upon me, and that uncovereth mine ear [to this], —that, mine own son, hath stirred up, my servants, 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 answered Doeg the Edomite—he, being stationed near the servants of Saul—and said, —I saw the son of Jesse coming into Nob, unto Ahimelech son of Ahitub;
10 и вопрошаше о нем Бога, и брашно вдаде ему, и мечь Голиафа иноплеменника вдаде ему.
Then enquired he for him of Yahweh, Provisions also, gave he unto him, —and, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, gave he unto him.
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, son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father—the priests, who were in Nob, —and they came, all of them, unto the king.
12 И рече Саул: слыши ныне, сыне Ахитов. И рече: се, аз, глаголи, господине.
And Saul said, Hear, I pray thee, thou son of Ahitub! And he said—Behold me! 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?
And Saul said unto him, Wherefore have ye conspired against me, thou, and the son of Jesse, —in that thou gavest him bread and a sword, and didst enquire for him of God, that he might rise up against me, that he might 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, —But who, among all thy servants, like David, is, faithful, being son-in-law to the king, and, cometh near to have audience with thee, and is, honoured in thy household?
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.
Did I, that day, begin to enquire for him of God? Far from me! Let not the king impute to his servant such a thing, nor to any of the household of my father, for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.
16 И рече царь Саул: смертию умреши, Авимелех, ты и весь дом отца твоего.
And the king said: Thou shalt, die, Ahimelech, —thou and all the household of thy father.
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.
And the king said unto the runners that were stationed by him—Turn ye round and put to death the priests of Yahweh, because, their hand also, is with David, and because they knew that he was, in flight, and unveiled not mine ear. But the servants of the king were not willing to thrust forth their hand, to fall upon the priests of Yahweh.
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:
Then said the king to Doeg, Turn, thou, and fall upon the priests. So Doeg the Edomite turned, and, himself, fell upon the priests, and put to death, that day, four score and five men bearing an ephod of linen;
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.
Nob also, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, —and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 И угонзе един сын Авимелеха сына Ахитова, имя ему Авиафар, и бежа вслед Давида.
But there escaped one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, whose, name, was Abiathar, —and he fled after David.
21 И возвести Авиафар Давиду, яко изби Саул вся иереи Господни.
So Abiathar told David, —that Saul had slain the priests of Yahweh.
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 said David to Abiathar—I knew, that day, when Doeg the Edomite was, there, that he would, surely tell, Saul. I, am chargeable with all the lives of the house of thy father.
23 седи со мною, не бойся, яко идеже аще взыщу души моей место, взыщу и души твоей, яко сохранен будеши ты у мене.
Abide with me! do not fear, for, whoso seeketh my life, seeketh thy life, —for, in safeguard, shall thou be, with me.
