Первая книга Царств 26
1 И приидоша Зифее от знойныя к Саулу на холм, глаголюще: се, Давид скрыся у нас на холме Ехелаф, прямо Иессемону.
And the Ziphites come to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the front of the desert?”
2 И воста Саул, и сниде в пустыню Зиф, и с ним три тысящы мужей избранных от Израиля, искати Давида в пустыни Зиф.
And Saul rises, and goes down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [are] three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 И ополчися Саул на холме Ехелаф иже прямо Иессемону при пути, Давид же седяше в пустыни. И виде Давид, яко идет Саул вслед его в пустыню,
And Saul encamps in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in the wilderness, and he sees that Saul has come into the wilderness after him;
4 и посла Давид соглядатаи, и разуме, яко идет Саул готов из Кеиля:
and David sends spies, and knows that Saul has come to Nachon,
5 и воста Давид отай, и вниде в место, идеже почиваше Саул, и тамо бяше Авенир сын Ниров, первый воевода его, и Саул спаше в колеснице царстей, и людие ополчившеся окрест его.
and David rises, and comes to the place where Saul has encamped, and David sees the place where Saul has lain, and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in the path, and the people are encamping around him.
6 И отвеща Давид и рече ко Авимелеху Хеттеину и ко Авессе сыну Саруину брату Иоавлю, глаголя: кто внидет со мною к Саулу в полк? И рече Авесса: аз вниду с тобою.
And David answers and says to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who goes down with me to Saul, to the camp?” And Abishai says, “I go down with you.”
7 И внидоста Давид и Авесса в люди нощию: и се, Саул спяй сном в колеснице царстей, и копие его водружено в землю при главе его, Авенир же и воини его спаху окрест его.
And David comes—and Abishai—by night to the people, and behold, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear is pressed into the earth by his pillow, and Abner and the people are lying around him.
8 И рече Авесса к Давиду: заключи Господь днесь врага твоего в руце твои, и ныне поражу его копием в землю единожды, и не повторю ему.
And Abishai says to David, “God has shut up your enemy into your hand today; and now, please let me strike him with [the] spear, even into the earth, at once—and not repeat [it] to him.”
9 И рече Давид ко Авессе: не убивай его, яко кто прострет руку свою на христа Господня, и неповинен будет?
And David says to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who has put forth his hand against the anointed of YHWH and been acquitted?”
10 И рече Давид: жив Господь, аще не Господь поразит его, или день его приидет, и умрет, или на брань снидет и погибнет:
And David says, “YHWH lives; except YHWH strikes him, or his day comes that he has died, or he goes down into battle and has been consumed—
11 да не будет ми от Господа нанести руку мою на христа Господня: и ныне возми копие от возглавия его и сосуд водный, и отидем мы о себе.
far be it from me, by YHWH, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH; and now, please take the spear which [is] by his pillow, and the jug of water, and we go away.”
12 И взя Давид копие и сосуд водный от возглавия его, и отидоста о себе: и не бе иже бы видел или разумел, и не бяше востающаго, вси бо спаху, яко сон крепок от Господа нападе на ня.
And David takes the spear, and the jug of water by the pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] YHWH has fallen on them.
13 И прейде Давид на он пол и ста на версе горы издалеча, и мног бе путь между ими.
And David passes over to the other side, and stands on the top of the hill far off—great [is] the place between them;
14 И воззва Давид к людем, и Авениру рече глаголя: не отвещаеши ли, Авенире? И отвеща Авенир и рече: кто ты еси зовый мя?
and David calls to the people, and to Abner son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answers and says, “Who [are] you [who] have called to the king?”
15 И рече Давид ко Авениру: не муж ли еси ты? И кто, якоже ты, во Израили? И почто не храниши господина твоего царя? Яко вниде един от людий убити господина твоего царя:
And David says to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who [is] like you in Israel? But why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people had come in to destroy the king, your lord.
16 и не благо сие (зело), еже сотворил еси: жив Господь, яко сынове смерти вы, не хранящии господа своего царя христа Господня: и ныне виждь, где есть копие царево и сосуд водный, яже беша при главе его?
This thing which you have done is not good; YHWH lives, but you [are] sons of death, in that you have not watched over your lord, over the anointed of YHWH; and now, see where the king’s spear [is], and the jug of water which [is] by his pillow.”
17 И позна Саул глас Давидов и рече: твой ли глас сей, чадо Давиде? И рече Давид: аз раб твой, господи царю.
And Saul discerns the voice of David and says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David says, “My voice, my lord, O king!”
18 И рече Давид: почто гониши раба твоего, господи царю? Яко что (ти) согреших? И кая обретеся во мне неправда?
And he says, “Why [is] this—my lord is pursuing after his servant? For what have I done, and what evil [is] in my hand?
19 И ныне да послушает господь мой царь глаголов раба своего: аще Бог поощряет тя на мя, да будет благовонна жертва твоя: аще же сынове человечестии, прокляти сии пред Господем, яко изгнаша мя днесь не утвердитися в жребии Господни, глаголюще: пойди, работай богом чуждим:
And now, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if YHWH has moved you against me, let Him accept a present; but if [merely] the sons of men, they [are] cursed before YHWH, for today they have cast me out from being admitted into the inheritance of YHWH, saying, Go, serve other gods.
20 и ныне да не падет кровь моя на землю пред лицем Господним, яко изыде царь Израилев искати души моея, и гонит якоже нощный вран по горам.
And now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH, for the king of Israel has come out to seek one flea, as [one] pursues the partridge in mountains.”
21 И рече Саул: согреших: возвратися, чадо Давиде, яко ктому не сотворю ти зла, зане честна душа моя пред очима твоима в день сей: безумно сотворих, и погреших много зело.
And Saul says, “I have sinned; return, my son David, for I do evil to you no more, because that my soul has been precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have acted foolishly, and err very greatly.”
22 И отвеща Давид и рече: се, копие царево, да приидет отрок един и возмет е:
And David answers and says, “Behold, the king’s spear; and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it;
23 и Господь да возвратит коемуждо по правде его и по вере его: якоже предаде тя Господь днесь в руце мои, и не восхотех нанести руки моея на христа Господня:
and YHWH turns each back to his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that YHWH has given you into [my] hand today, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH,
24 и се, якоже возвеличися душа твоя днесь во очию моею, тако да возвеличится душа моя пред Господем, и да покрыет мя и измет мя от всякия печали.
and behold, as your soul has been great in my eyes this day, so is my soul great in the eyes of YHWH, and He delivers me out of all distress.”
25 И рече Саул к Давиду: благословен ты, чадо, и творяй сотвориши и могий возможеши. И отиде Давид в путь свой, а Саул возвратися на место свое.
And Saul says to David, “Blessed [are] you, my son David, also working you work, and also prevailing you prevail.” And David goes on his way, and Saul has turned back to his place.
