Первая книга Царств 25
1 И умре Самуил, и собрашася весь Израиль, и плакашася его, и погребоша его в дому его во Армафеме. И воста Давид, и сниде в пустыню Маоню.
Then Samuel died, and all of Israel gathered together, and they mourned him. And they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David, rising up, descended to the desert of Paran.
2 И бе человек в Маоне и стада его на Кармиле, и человек велик зело: и сему овец три тысящы и коз тысяща: и бысть егда стрижаше стада своя на Кармиле:
Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were at Carmel. And this man was exceedingly great. And three thousand sheep, and one thousand goats were his. And it happened that he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
3 имя же человеку Навал и имя жене его Авигеа: и жена его блага смыслом и добра взором зело, муж же ея человек жесток и лукав в начинаниих и человек зверонравен.
Now the name of this man was Nabal. And the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a very prudent and beautiful woman. But her husband was hard-hearted, and very wicked, and malicious. And he was of the stock of Caleb.
4 И услыша Давид в пустыни, яко стрижет Навал на Кармиле стада своя.
Therefore, when David, in the desert, had heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
5 И посла Давид десять отроков и рече отроком: взыдите на Кармил и идите к Навалу и вопросите его именем моим с миром,
he sent ten young men, and he said to them: “Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.
6 и рцыте сия: здрав ли еси ты и дом твой, и вся твоя здрава ли суть?
And you shall say: ‘Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you have.
7 И ныне се, услышах, яко стригут тебе ныне пастуси твои, иже беша с нами в пустыни, и не возбранихом им, и не повелехом им ничесоже во вся дни, егда беша на Кармиле:
I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us in Carmel.
8 вопроси отроков твоих и возвестят ти: и да обрящут отроцы твои благодать пред очима твоима, яко в день благ приидохом: даждь убо ныне еже обрящет рука твоя отроком твоим и сыну твоему Давиду.
Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your son David.’”
9 И приидоша отроцы Давидовы и глаголаша словеса сия к Навалу, по всем глаголом сим именем Давидовым.
And when the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.
10 И возскочи Навал и отвеща отроком Давидовым и рече: кто Давид? И кто сын Иессеов? Днесь умножени суть раби отходяще кийждо от лица господина своего:
But Nabal, responding to the servants of David, said: “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, servants who are fleeing from their lords are increasing.
11 и возму ли хлебы моя и вино мое и закланая моя, яже заклах стригущым моя овцы, и дам ли оная мужем, ихже не вем откуду суть?
Therefore, shall I take my bread, and my water, and the meat of the cattle that I have slain for my shearers, and give it to men, when I do not know where they are from?”
12 И возвратишася отроцы Давидовы путем своим, и возвращшеся приидоша и возвестиша Давиду по глаголом сим.
And so the servants of David traveled back along their way. And returning, they went and reported to him all the words that he had said.
13 И рече Давид мужем своим: препояшитеся кийждо оружием своим. И препоясашася оружием своим, и сам Давид препоясася мечем своим, и идоша вслед Давида, яко четыреста мужей, а двести их осташася у сосудов.
Then David said to his servants, “Let each one gird his sword.” And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.
14 И Авигеи жене Навалове поведа един отрок, глаголя: се, присыла Давид послы от пустыни благословити господина нашего, он же отвратися от них:
Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: “Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.
15 мужие же блази (беша) нам зело, не возбраняху нам, ниже повелеваху нам что во вся дни, в няже бехом с ними:
These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.
16 и сущым нам на селе, аки стена беша окрест нас, и в нощи и во дни, по вся дни в няже бехом с ними пасуще стада:
They were a wall to us, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing the sheep.
17 и ныне разумей и виждь ты, что сотвориши, яко совершися злоба на господина нашего и на дом его, и сей сын губитель, и не возможно глаголати к нему.
For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to speak to him.”
18 И потщася Авигеа, и взя двести хлебов и два сосуда вина и пять овец устроеных и пять мер муки чистыя и кошницу гроздия и двести вязаниц смоквей, и возложи на ослята,
And so Abigail hurried, and she took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five cooked sheep, and five measures of cooked grain, and one hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred masses of dried figs, and she set them upon donkeys.
19 и рече ко отроком своим: поидите предо мною, и се, аз вслед вас иду. Мужу же своему не возвести.
And she said to her servants: “Go before me. Behold, I will follow after your back.” But she did not reveal it to her husband, Nabal.
20 И бысть, вседшей ей на ослицу и сходящей в подгорие, и се, Давид и мужие его идяху сопротиву ея, и срете их.
And when she had climbed on a donkey, and was descending to the base of the mountain, David and his men were descending to meet her. And she met them.
21 И рече Давид: воистинну всуе вся навалова сохраних в пустыни, и ничесоже повелех взяти от всех яже его, и воздаде ми злая за благая:
And David said: “Truly, in vain have I preserved all that was his in the wilderness, so that nothing perished out of all that belonged to him. And he has repaid evil to me for good.
22 сия да сотворит Бог Давиду и сия да приложит, аще до утра оставлю от всех Наваловых даже до мочащагося к стене.
May God do these things, by the enemies of David, and may he add these other things, if I leave behind until morning, out of all that belongs to him, anything that urinates against a wall.”
23 И увиде Авигеа Давида, и потщася и скочи со осляте, и паде пред Давидом на лице свое, и поклонися ему до земли,
Then, when Abigail had seen David, she hurried and descended from the donkey. And she fell upon her face before David, and she reverenced on the ground.
24 и паде на ноги его и рече: во мне, господине мой, неправда моя: да глаголет ныне раба твоя во ушы твои, и послушай словес рабы твоея:
And she fell at his feet, and she said: “May this iniquity be upon me, my lord. I beg you, let your handmaid speak to your ears, and listen to the words of your servant.
25 да не возложит ныне господин мой сердца своего на человека гибелнаго сего, яко по имени своему той есть: Навал имя ему, и безумие с ним: аз же раба твоя не видех отроков господина моего, ихже послал еси:
Let not my lord, the king, I beseech you, set his heart upon this iniquitous man, Nabal. For in accord with his name, he is senseless, and foolishness is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see your servants, my lord, whom you had sent.
26 и ныне, господине мой, жив Господь и жива душа твоя, якоже возбрани тебе Господь еже не приити на кровь неповинну и спасти тебе руку твою: и ныне да будут якоже Навал врази твои и ищущии господину моему зла:
Now therefore, my lord, as your soul lives, and as the Lord lives, who has kept your hand to yourself, and has prevented you from coming to blood: now, let your enemies be like Nabal, and like all those who are seeking evil for my lord.
27 и ныне возми благословение сие, еже принесе раба твоя господину моему, и даждь отроком предстоящым господину моему:
Because of this, accept this blessing, which your handmaid has brought to you, my lord. And give it to the young men who follow you, my lord.
28 отими ныне неправду рабы твоея, яко творя сотворит Господь дом верен господину моему, яко на брани господина моего Господь споборет, и злоба не обрящется в тебе никогдаже:
Forgive the iniquity of your handmaid. For the Lord will surely make for you, my lord, a faithful house, because you, my lord, fight the battles of the Lord. Therefore, let no evil be found in you all the days of your life.
29 и аще востанет человек гоняй тя и ищай души твоея, и будет душа господина моего привязана соузом жизни у Господа Бога, и душу врагов твоих поразиши пращею посреде пращи:
For if a man, at any time, will rise up, pursuing you and seeking your life, the life of my lord will be preserved, as if in the sheave of the living, with the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies will be spun around, as if with the force of a whirling sling.
30 и будет егда сотворит Господь господину моему вся, елика глаголаше благая о тебе, и повелит тебе Господь (быти) вождем во Израили,
Therefore, when the Lord will have done for you, my lord, all the good that he has spoken about you, and when he will have appointed you as leader over Israel,
31 и не будет тебе сие мерзость и соблазн сердцу господина моего, еже излияти кровь неповинную туне и спасти руку свою себе: и да благо сотворит Господь господину моему, и воспомянеши рабу твою, еже благосотворити ей.
this will not be for you a regret or a scruple of the heart, my lord, that you had shed innocent blood, or had taken revenge for yourself. And when the Lord will have done well for my lord, you shall remember your handmaid.”
32 И рече Давид ко Авигеи: благословен Господь Бог Израилев, иже посла тя днесь на сретение ми,
And David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. And blessed is your eloquence.
33 и благословен совет твой, и благословена ты удержавшая мя в день сей ити на пролитие крове, и спасти ми руку мою:
And blessed are you, who prevented me today from going to blood, and from taking revenge for myself with my own hand.
34 обаче жив Господь Бог Израилев, иже возбрани ми днесь зло сотворити тебе: зане аще бы не потщалася и не пришла еси на сретение мне, тогда рех: аще останется Навалу до утренняго света мочащийся к стене.
But instead, as the Lord God of Israel lives, he has prevented me from doing evil to you. But if you had not come quickly to meet me, there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light, anything that urinates against a wall.”
35 И прия Давид от руку ея вся, яже принесе ему, и рече ей: иди с миром в дом свой: виждь, послушах гласа твоего и приях лице твое.
Then David received from her hand all that she had brought to him. And he said to her: “Go in peace to your own house. Behold, I have heeded your voice, and I have honored your face.”
36 И прииде Авигеа к Навалу: и се, у него пир в дому его, яко пир царев: и сердце навалово весело в нем, и той пиян до зела. И не возвести Авигеа Навалу глагола ни велика ни мала до света утренняго.
Then Abigail went to Nabal. And behold, he was holding a feast for himself in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal was cheerful. For he was greatly inebriated. And she did not reveal a word to him, small or great, until morning.
37 И бысть заутра, егда истрезвися Навал от вина, поведа ему жена его вся глаголы сия, и умре сердце его в нем, и той бысть яко камень.
Then, at first light, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife revealed to him these words, and his heart died within himself, and he became like a stone.
38 И бысть яко десять дний, и порази Господь Навала, и умре.
And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
39 И услыша Давид и рече: благословен Господь, иже суди суд поношения моего от руки Навали, и раба Своего удержа от руки злых, и злобу Навалю обрати Господь на главу его. И посла Давид и глагола ко Авигеи пояти ю себе в жену.
And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has judged the case of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and who has preserved his servant from evil. And the Lord has repaid the malice of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and he spoke with Abigail, so that he might take her to himself as wife.
40 И приидоша отроцы Давидовы ко Авигеи в Кармил, и реша ей, глаголюще: Давид посла нас к тебе, да тя поймет себе в жену.
And David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, so that he might take you to himself as wife.”
41 И воста и поклонися до земли лицем и рече: се, раба твоя в рабыню умывати ноги отроком твоим.
And rising up, she reverenced prone on the ground, and she said, “Behold, let your servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
42 И воста Авигеа, и вседе на осля, и пять девиц идяху вслед ея, и пойде вслед отроков Давидовых, и бысть ему в жену.
And Abigail rose up and hurried, and she climbed upon a donkey, and five girls went with her, her attendants. And she followed the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
43 И Ахинааму поят Давид от Иезраеля, и бесте ему обе жены.
Moreover, David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel. And both of them were his wives.
44 Саул же даде Мелхолу дщерь свою жену Давидову Фалтию сыну Амисову иже от Роммы.
Then Saul gave his daughter Michal, the wife of David, to Palti, the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
