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.
Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Look, David is hiding himself on the hill of Hakilah, which is near Jeshimon."
2 И воста Саул, и сниде в пустыню Зиф, и с ним три тысящы мужей избранных от Израиля, искати Давида в пустыни Зиф.
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, 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,
Saul camped on the hill of Hakilah, which is before Jeshimon, near the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 и посла Давид соглядатаи, и разуме, яко идет Саул готов из Кеиля:
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
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.
David arose, and came to the place where Saul had camped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were camped 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.
Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hethite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?" Abishai said, "I will 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.
So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, look, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay 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.
Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."
9 И рече Давид ко Авессе: не убивай его, яко кто прострет руку свою на христа Господня, и неповинен будет?
David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?"
10 И рече Давид: жив Господь, аще не Господь поразит его, или день его приидет, и умрет, или на брань снидет и погибнет:
David said, "As Jehovah lives, Jehovah will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
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.
Jehovah forbid that I should put forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go."
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.
So David took the spear and the jar of water at his head, and they went away. And no one saw it or knew about it, nor did any awake. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah had fallen on them.
13 И прейде Давид на он пол и ста на версе горы издалеча, и мног бе путь между ими.
Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a great distance 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 called to the people, and to Abner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you that calls?"
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:
David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the people came 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 isn't good that you have done. As Jehovah lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah's anointed. Now look, where is the king's spear, and where is the jar of water that was by his head?"
17 И позна Саул глас Давидов и рече: твой ли глас сей, чадо Давиде? И рече Давид: аз раб твой, господи царю.
Saul knew David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" David said, "It is 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?
He said, "Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or 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:
Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that God has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is from human beings, they are cursed before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I shouldn't cling to Jehovah's inheritance, 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.
Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah; for the king of Israel has come out to seek my life, as when one hunts a partridge in the 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.
Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Come back, my son David, for I will not harm you, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Look, I have behaved foolishly, and have made a great mistake."
22 И отвеща Давид и рече: се, копие царево, да приидет отрок един и возмет е:
And David answered and said, "Look, the king's spear. Now let one of the young men come over and get 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:
Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because Jehovah delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn't put forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.
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.
Look, as your life was respected this day in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the eyes of Jehovah, and let him deliver me out of all oppression."
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.
Then Saul said to David, "You are blessed, my son. You will accomplish much, and will surely be successful." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
