Первая книга Царств 27
1 И рече Давид в сердцы своем, глаголя: ныне впаду в день един в руки Саули, и не будет ми благо, аще не спасуся в земли иноплеменничи, и престанет Саул искати мене во всяком пределе Израилеве, и спасуся из руки его.
And David said to himself, Some day death will come to me by the hand of Saul: the only thing for me to do is to get away into the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up hope of taking me in any part of the land of Israel: and so I may be able to get away from him.
2 И воста Давид и шесть сот мужей иже с ним, и иде ко Агхусу сыну Аммахову царю Гефску.
So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 И пребысть Давид у Агхуса в Гефе, сам и мужие его вси и дом его, и Давид и обе жены его, Ахинаам Иезраилитыня и Авигеа жена Навала Кармилскаго.
And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.
4 И возвестиша Саулу, яко отбеже Давид в Геф, и не приложи ктому (Саул) искати его.
And Saul, hearing that David had gone to Gath, went after him no longer.
5 И рече Давид ко Агхусу: аще обрете раб твой благодать пред очима твоима, да даси ми место во единем от градов иже на селе, и сяду тамо: и вскую седит раб твой во граде царственнем с тобою?
Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.
6 И даде ему Агхус в день той Секелаг: сего ради бысть царю Иудейску Секелаг до днешняго дне.
So Achish straight away gave him Ziklag: and for that reason Ziklag has been the property of the kings of Judah to this day.
7 И бысть число дний, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи, четыри месяцы.
And David was living in the land of the Philistines for the space of a year and four months.
8 И восхождаше Давид и мужие его и нападаху на всякаго Гессера и на Амаликита, и се, земля населяшеся от Ламсура и до земли Египетския:
And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.
9 и поражаше Давид землю, и не оставляше в живых мужеска полу и женска: и взимаху стада, и буйволицы и ослята, и велблюды и ризы, и возвращающеся прихождаху ко Агхусу.
And David again and again made attacks on the land till not a man or a woman was still living; and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the clothing; and he came back to Achish.
10 И рече Агхус к Давиду: на кого нападосте ныне? И рече Давид ко Агхусу: к югу Иудеи и к югу Иесмеги и к югу Кенезиа:
And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.
11 и мужеска полу и женска не оставлях в живых еже вводити в Геф, глаголя: да не возвестят в Гефе на нас, глаголюще: сия творит Давид. И сие оправдание его во вся дни, в няже седяше Давид на селе иноплеменничи.
Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.
12 И уверися Давид Агхусу зело, глаголя: омерзением омерзе в людех своих во Израили, и будет ми раб во веки.
And Achish had belief in what David said, saying, He has made himself hated by all his people Israel, and so he will be my servant for ever.
