< 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 [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
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.
Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
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.
Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
4 И умоли лице царя Моавитска, и пребываху у него по вся дни, сущу Давиду во области той.
[The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
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.
One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
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.
One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
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:
He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
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?
Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
9 И отвеща Доик Сирин приставленый над мсками Сауловыми и рече: видех сына Иессеева пришедша в Номву ко Авимелеху сыну Ахитову иерею:
Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
10 и вопрошаше о нем Бога, и брашно вдаде ему, и мечь Голиафа иноплеменника вдаде ему.
Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
11 И посла царь призвати Авимелеха сына Ахитова, и вся сыны отца его иереи от Номвы. И приидоша вси к царю.
Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
12 И рече Саул: слыши ныне, сыне Ахитов. И рече: се, аз, глаголи, господине.
Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
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, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
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?
Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
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.
Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
16 И рече царь Саул: смертию умреши, Авимелех, ты и весь дом отца твоего.
The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
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.
Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
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 the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
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 also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
20 И угонзе един сын Авимелеха сына Ахитова, имя ему Авиафар, и бежа вслед Давида.
But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
21 И возвести Авиафар Давиду, яко изби Саул вся иереи Господни.
He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’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 him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
23 седи со мною, не бойся, яко идеже аще взыщу души моей место, взыщу и души твоей, яко сохранен будеши ты у мене.
You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
