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.
And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness 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:
And there was a man at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and 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.
And the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.
4 И услыша Давид в пустыни, яко стрижет Навал на Кармиле стада своя.
And David heard in the wilderness 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,
Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
6 и рцыте сия: здрав ли еси ты и дом твой, и вся твоя здрава ли суть?
And thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!
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:
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while they were 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.
Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 И приидоша отроцы Давидовы и глаголаша словеса сия к Навалу, по всем глаголом сим именем Давидовым.
And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
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:
And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master.
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?
And shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I know not whence they are?
12 И возвратишася отроцы Давидовы путем своим, и возвращшеся приидоша и возвестиша Давиду по глаголом сим.
And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.
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.
And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
14 И Авигеи жене Навалове поведа един отрок, глаголя: се, присыла Давид послы от пустыни благословити господина нашего, он же отвратися от них:
And one of [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted them.
15 мужие же блази (беша) нам зело, не возбраняху нам, ниже повелеваху нам что во вся дни, в няже бехом с ними:
And the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.
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 both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding 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.
And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot 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 Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on asses.
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 young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell 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 as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to 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:
Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited me evil for good.
22 сия да сотворит Бог Давиду и сия да приложит, аще до утра оставлю от всех Наваловых даже до мочащагося к стене.
So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.
23 И увиде Авигеа Давида, и потщася и скочи со осляте, и паде пред Давидом на лице свое, и поклонися ему до земли,
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to 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 fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
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, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
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:
And now, my lord, [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27 и ныне возми благословение сие, еже принесе раба твоя господину моему, и даждь отроком предстоящым господину моему:
And now this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow 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:
I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.
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:
And if a man is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the sling.
30 и будет егда сотворит Господь господину моему вся, елика глаголаше благая о тебе, и повелит тебе Господь (быти) вождем во Израили,
And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler 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.
that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
32 И рече Давид ко Авигеи: благословен Господь Бог Израилев, иже посла тя днесь на сретение ми,
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.
33 и благословен совет твой, и благословена ты удержавшая мя в день сей ити на пролитие крове, и спасти ми руку мою:
And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine 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 indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male.
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.
So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
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.
And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
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.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
38 И бысть яко десять дний, и порази Господь Навала, и умре.
And it came to pass in about ten days that Jehovah smote 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 heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his 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 the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.
41 И воста и поклонися до земли лицем и рече: се, раба твоя в рабыню умывати ноги отроком твоим.
And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman 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 hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 И Ахинааму поят Давид от Иезраеля, и бесте ему обе жены.
David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.
44 Саул же даде Мелхолу дщерь свою жену Давидову Фалтию сыну Амисову иже от Роммы.
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
