< Первая книга Царств 28 >

1 И бысть во дни оны, и собрашася иноплеменницы в полки своя изыти братися со Израилтяны. И рече Агхус к Давиду: разумея разумей, яко со мною изыдеши на брань ты и мужие твои.
In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men.”
2 И рече Давид ко Агхусу: тако ныне уразумееши, яже сотворит раб твой. И рече Агхус к Давиду: темже началника хранителей телу (моему) поставлю тя во вся дни.
David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
3 И Самуил умре, и рыдаше по нем весь Израиль, и погребоша его во Армафеме во граде его: и Саул изби чревобасники и волхвы земли своея.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
4 И собрашася иноплеменницы и приидоша и ополчишася в Сонаме: и собра Саул вся мужы Израилевы, и ополчишася в Гелвуе.
The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 И виде Саул полки иноплеменничи, и убояся, и ужасеся сердце его зело.
When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
6 И вопроси Саул Господа, и не отвеща ему Господь ни во сне, ни во явлениих, ни во пророцех.
When Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.
7 И рече Саул отроком своим: поищите ми жены волшебницы, и пойду к ней, и вопрошу ея. И реша отроцы его к нему: се, жена волшебница во Аендоре.
Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and enquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
8 И прикрыся Саул и облечеся в ризы ины, и иде сам и два мужа с ним, и прииде нощию к жене и рече ей: поволхвуй ми чревоволшебством, и возведи ми, егоже реку ти.
Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
9 И рече ему жена: се, ныне ты сам веси, елика сотвори Саул, како истреби чревобасники и волхвы от земли, и вскую ты ловиши душу мою, еже умертвити ю?
The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”
10 И клятся ей Саул, глаголя: жив Господь, аще срящет тя неправда о словеси сем.
Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
11 И рече жена Саулу: кого возведу ти? И рече Саул: Самуила возведи ми.
Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel up for me.”
12 И виде жена Самуила, и возгласи гласом велиим, и рече жена к Саулу: почто мя прельстил еси? И ты еси Саул.
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”
13 И рече ей царь: не бойся, рцы кого видела еси? И рече ему жена: боги видех восходящыя от земли.
The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
14 И рече ей: что познала еси? И рече ему (жена): (видех) мужа стара восходяща от земли, и сей оболчен одеянием долгим. И уразуме Саул, яко сей Самуил (есть), и преклони лице свое на землю и поклонися ему.
He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
15 И рече ему Самуил: почто понудил еси мя взыти ми? И рече Саул: скорблю зело, яко иноплеменницы воюют на мя, и Бог отступи от мене, и не услыша мене ктому ни в руках пророческих, ни во снех, ни во явлениих: и ныне призвах тя, да скажеши ми, что сотворю.
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.”
16 И рече Самуил: почто вопрошаеши мя, а Господь отступи от тебе и бысть со ближним твоим?
Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?
17 И сотвори Господь тебе, якоже глагола Господь рукою моею, и исторгнет Господь царство твое из руку твоею и вдаст е ближнему твоему Давиду,
The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour, even to David.
18 понеже не послушал еси гласа Господня и не исполнил еси гнева ярости Его на Амалике, глагола ради того сотвори тебе Господь в день сей:
Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today.
19 и предаст Господь Израиля с тобою в руки иноплеменничи, и заутра ты и сынове твои падут с тобою, и полк Израилев предаст Господь в руки иноплеменничи.
Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 И потщася Саул, и паде стоящь на землю, и убояся зело от словес Самуиловых, и не бысть ктому крепости в нем: яко не яде хлеба во весь день той и во всю нощь ту.
Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
21 И вниде жена к Саулу, и виде его, яко смятеся зело, и рече к нему: се, ныне послуша раба твоя гласа твоего, и положих душу мою в руце мои, и послушах словес, яже ми глаголал еси:
The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
22 и ныне послушай гласа рабы твоея, и положу пред тобою укрух хлеба, и яждь, и будет в тебе крепость, яко идеши в путь.
Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
23 И не хотяше ясти: и понудиша его отроцы его и жена, и послуша гласа их, и воста от земли, и седе на седалищи.
But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
24 Жене же бяше юница питомая в дому: и потщася, и закла ю: и взя муку и смеси, и испече опресноки,
The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
25 и принесе пред Саула и пред отроки его: и ядоша, и восташа и отидоша в нощь ону.
She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
